>> I'm here. Xbox is already turned off this week. I didn't have to turn talking to you.
0:15
>> Good. Good. You're prepared. >> I did I don't want to get in trouble again.
0:19
>> But I'm upset with Xbox. >> Really? Go on. >> Well, not really them. I'm upset with
0:25
scammers. >> Oh, >> not scammers. Scalpers. Okay.
0:30
>> So, they had they released a new the new Xbox like the throwback the green one.
0:35
The green one. >> I was excited for it. It's sold out in less than a minute. >> Wow.
0:41
>> And you can go onto eBay right now and see them for more than twice the cost.
0:46
>> [ __ ] me. How much are they? >> It was going to cost me about 1300.
0:51
>> Australian, obviously. 1300 for an Xbox. >> Wait, that's that's from Microsoft.
0:57
That's from Microsoft. >> [ __ ] me. What's So what? Because it's green.
1:01
>> eBay. They're about 3,300. >> What What does it have that's worth it
1:07
being that much? >> Um well, the price of Xbox got RAM in it.
1:12
>> Yeah, the price of Xbox has already gone up. Like >> how much is an Xbox now?
1:16
>> Um I'll just have a look. Um, so just a normal >> Xbox Series X >> Series
1:23
X is 1,100.
1:27
>> Okay. A Okay. Australian, which makes a difference. It's they're 800 US.
1:34
>> But that's still 200 bucks more than I paid >> when I bought mine when it was brand
1:38
new. >> They've all gone up. Yeah. They've all gone up like because of RAM. Because of
1:43
memory. It's just >> Yeah. Cuz even when in Australia I've
1:46
got ours were like750 when they first came out. >> Yeah. Right.
1:51
>> And now it's 1,100 for a new one. >> That's nuts. Yeah.
1:58
>> So, but yeah, I've logged on and just gone instantly. And now if I go to eBay,
2:03
it's just depressing. There is a chance I can still get one.
2:08
>> Um I think JB Hi-Fi are the only ones that are doing a sensible
2:14
>> way to do it. Not first come, first serve. >> They're doing a look, enter a ballot.
2:20
>> If you win, you can buy one. >> Yeah. Do they make sure you're an actual
2:25
person who wants an Xbox and not a scalper? >> Well, >> do they have a way to do that?
2:30
>> I don't think they've got a way to do it, but they're only going to sell you one.
2:33
>> Oh, sure. Yeah. >> So, it's I think there's a better chance
2:37
of it not going to someone who's not a scalper. >> Yeah. All right.
2:43
Jamie Hi-Fi, man. I haven't been there in [ __ ] ages.
2:46
>> So, I signed up for that on Wednesday and then crossed my fingers cuz
2:50
>> the Xbox I've got on my desk at the moment starting to die.
2:54
>> So, I was looking at swapping it out. >> What is What do you mean starting to
2:59
die? What is that? >> I have to do a hard reset every now and
3:03
again. It's just It's Yeah, it's not quite happy sometimes. I've still got my
3:09
other one back up ready to go. >> Yeah, you're back up. I was going to say
3:12
I mind about the issues, but I don't use mine >> anywhere near your the number of hours
3:17
yours has got racked up on it eclipses mine, I'm sure,
3:20
>> by hundreds, if not thousands of hours.
3:25
>> I turned mine on the other day. >> Yeah.
3:29
>> Um and then I was looking I mentioned I messaged you guys. I want to play First
3:34
Light. I want to play 007 First Light and I want to play on the Xbox because
3:37
the Xbox is my normal console. >> Yes. And it doesn't have that horrible controller,
3:42
>> right? Which I've been using because I've been playing Expedition 33 on
3:46
PlayStation because because I have it I just have it on that platform. I just So, >> uh,
3:51
>> yeah. And I mean, visually visually, I don't know why I said like that.
3:55
Visually, uh, I think there's no difference. It's just Yeah. the controller basically.
4:00
>> Yeah. >> Um, and
4:04
First Light was on sale on PlayStation. Okay. >> Because it's Gamescom
4:11
be on sale on both of them. >> No. No. And I was almost going to buy it
4:17
because I was like, I want to play it, but then you reminded me [laughter] that
4:22
I often forget that I have a PlayStation. >> Yes.
4:25
>> So, I might buy it and then forget that I own it. And that might happen. So, >> yes.
4:30
>> So, I did not buy it. >> Hold off on to it. Look, there might be
4:33
something coming soon and it could I don't know if it will, but
4:39
I'm hoping it will. Soon you might be able to get borrow my games. >> Oh, interesting.
4:45
>> Or maybe I could sell them on cuz Xbox has also announced something else.
4:50
Something else that they announced many years ago and no one is upset about at the moment.
4:56
>> Uh, this is the one at the top. >> Yes. M >> so remember when the Xbox first Xbox
5:02
Xbox One first came out that was going to be you can install
5:06
you get the disc you can install it to the hard drive you don't have to put the
5:09
disc in you just have to connect to the internet every 24 hours they're also
5:13
hinting at other things like being able to sell [clears throat]
5:17
>> copies and lend your copies out >> well they've announced this week that
5:21
they're not going that far but they're allowing people to install their discs
5:25
from their discs so >> yeah disc to digital I called. Yeah.
5:30
>> So, there'll be a license on your disc there and it'll then associate with your
5:35
account, but then if you sell your disc on and the second someone puts into
5:39
their Xbox, you're going to lose it. >> Now, does this work for old ones or only new ones?
5:43
>> It's going to work from Xbox One onwards, >> right? But no, but old discs, I mean.
5:48
>> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. So, this license thing is already on there technically.
5:52
>> It's already on there. It would have been on there since Xbox One.
5:55
>> Yeah. Right. Okay. So, you can't do it for 360 games, but you can do it for
5:58
Xbox One games. >> So, they can identify the disc, like the physical disc, that one disc.
6:05
>> Okay, that's cool. I don't think we knew that. [laughter] I didn't know that, but
6:08
they Yeah, that's good. >> So, I'm hoping that this is just to
6:12
maybe bring it in steps and we get to the next point where I can share my games.
6:16
>> I just said that's good. I don't know if that is good cuz anyway, whatever.
6:23
You might be able to play games for a lot cheaper or free.
6:26
>> Yeah, free. Borrowing them from you would definitely make them free. Uh >> yes.
6:30
>> And I would basically have access to all games. >> Yes. >> Because that's how you work.
6:36
>> Mhm. >> Yeah. All right. >> So, we'll wait and see. I'm I'm excited
6:41
for it and I hope they do go to that next step. >> Yeah. Cuz that stuff was great and it
6:47
was really just the always on >> Yeah. >> thing that people were mad about. But
6:52
then you have to have that now anyway. We kind of got stuck with it anyway. >> Yeah.
6:56
>> So like kind of I don't know. The fuss was mostly about nothing. Not not that
6:59
it was Sorry, that's not fair. >> It's not that it was about nothing. It's
7:02
that that's how things went anyway. >> Yes. >> So and we didn't get and we didn't get a
7:07
bunch of good stuff because of the complaining and then we got stuck with
7:09
the always on anyway. >> Yes. Like Yeah. Now you if you were to
7:13
buy an Xbox today, I don't think you if you didn't connect it to the internet, I
7:17
don't think you could set it up at all. >> Yeah. That's what I mean. And we've
7:21
talked about this before. Even if you could just buy a disc copy of a game
7:24
when it comes out and install it, you don't want to do that because there's
7:28
almost certainly going to be a day one patch that you almost >> playable.
7:32
>> Yeah. Cuz games are [ __ ] when they come out now.
7:35
>> Yeah. So, yeah, it's it's taken a long time, but we might be getting to a point
7:40
where I can sell my digital games >> once I finished 100%.
7:45
>> Yeah, you could make some money, I guess. Yeah, I don't want to know how much I've
7:51
spent. >> I kind of want to know, but I don't Does there I wonder if Is there a website
7:57
that tells you that? >> There probably is. That I could go like Yeah, I could make it.
8:03
>> Check my games and then just check the Xbox store to how much they cost. There
8:07
probably is something out there. >> And when I say I could make it, I could
8:10
make Claude make it. Yes, [laughter] >> that's what everyone does now.
8:17
>> Yeah, Claude does everything. But the problem with that is Claude then knows
8:20
everything. >> That's true. >> And knows everyone's code and knows all the back doors.
8:26
>> Well, yeah, they do train on your data. That's true.
8:31
Right. I was going to say it doesn't actually remember things the way people
8:34
think, but they do train on your data. So, I guess it does have a record of it in the
8:38
>> Yeah. In the >> It'll draw from what you've done. Yeah. Yeah.
8:45
>> It wrote the code. >> That's what I mean though. It's like
8:48
circular. They have to be careful about that. Actually, they've um
8:51
>> I think when they train it, they've got to make because you they you don't want
8:55
to train it on stuff it wrote cuz that's like
8:59
>> circular sort of thing. Yeah. >> So, but if it if it made that website,
9:06
well, then I'm going to trade it on it. So, yeah. There you go.
9:12
All right. But so that that and we'll wait and see.
9:16
>> Yeah. Other Xbox news. Um do you need uh stools for your apartment?
9:22
>> Um I kind of do. >> Well, go to IKEA, mate, because look at
9:27
the Xbox collection and you can get yourself >> It's a little thumbstick.
9:33
>> Xbox thumb sticks. I do actually need a stool because
9:39
there's a game coming out later this year that >> requires a stool.
9:44
>> Well, no, it's so Guitar Hero is not quite back, but
9:49
there is a stage tour which is coming out. >> Okay. >> Which has drums again.
9:55
>> Oh, I see. You need like a drum stool. >> So, I need a drum stool.
9:58
>> You still have your uh your instruments? >> I do, but I want new I need new drums.
10:04
So, I'm just going to buy a brand new set, >> right?
10:08
>> Well, there you go. Buy a giant uh Xbox thumb stick to sit on. >> Yep.
10:13
>> I spent $750 on a used drum set. >> Yep. I mean, this is IKEA, so I'm
10:20
assuming the stool will be >> The store will be pretty cheap. >> Yeah.
10:24
>> Wonder if it's out yet. >> Is IKEA cheap? My sense is that IKEA is
10:30
cheap. Um, I think I Yeah, that key is cheap. >> Okay. >> I always thought it was.
10:36
>> Look at that TV stand in the photo there. Is that a real TV stand? Can you
10:40
mount a TV like that? >> I've never seen one like that.
10:45
>> This is on the the top photo in the if you're if you're following along at home.
10:50
>> No, I don't see why not either, but it just I've never seen that before. I just
10:54
glanced over to the left of the stool and I was like, "The [ __ ] is that TV
10:57
on?" cuz it's kind of like hung from the the back. Anyway, whatever. It It looks
11:04
pretty cool. I've just never seen that before. >> All right. When does it come out?
11:09
>> Oh, the little uh X uh cushions, too. >> The little >> cushions.
11:16
>> Yeah. See the little uh >> I guess is that cabinet at the back?
11:20
>> Okay. It comes out on the 1st of October. The cabinet I'd say would be as well like
11:26
>> Yeah, because it kind of looks like an Xbox kind of Yeah. squint
11:30
>> because there's nine pieces. I've just found out.
11:33
>> Interesting. There's less than that in the photo. So, unless unless the TV
11:36
stand and [ __ ] is as well. I guess >> the TV stand might be >> and the chair >> maybe.
11:43
>> Anyway, >> I I'll go to IKEA and let you know. >> Yeah, please do.
11:47
>> When I go pick up my stool, >> I don't need any furniture. So, I think
11:52
I'm going to wait until my child is older to buy any new furniture cuz we we
11:56
made the mistake of buying a uh a light colored couch cuz we didn't have a child
12:02
and then we had a child >> and it's not light colored anymore.
12:05
>> Parts of it are [laughter] parts of it are not. And it's like,
12:09
well, basically there's Well, I mean, we clean it obviously.
12:14
>> Yeah. But replacing it just we'll just wait. [laughter] >> Yeah.
12:18
>> Yeah, we'll wait. Just wait till those hands are a little bit more steady.
12:22
>> Yeah. Yeah. She likes to eat, drink
12:26
things on the couch and she's >> just don't give a [ __ ] [laughter]
12:32
frankly. She just does not care. >> Spill [ __ ] And then you go, "What
12:37
happened?" Well, it wasn't my fault. It just fell out of there. Like, [laughter] oh, okay.
12:42
All right, mate. [snorts] >> She's learned from me. It's never your fault. [laughter]
12:47
>> She [ __ ] has, mate. Yeah. Very funny.
12:53
>> So, I see under here there was an Iron Man game.
12:57
>> Uh, yeah, I would be interested in in seeing this uh or playing this. Okay, we
13:03
can see it because they've kind of some um footage has leaked. Uh, this is a
13:09
while back. This is in the early 2010s. Uh, and it was the guys who made Just Cause, which
13:16
>> okay, >> those were cool games. And I could see an Iron Man game in that style being
13:22
pretty [ __ ] sick. Uh, and so yeah, there's some footage now of um Oh, hang
13:28
on. Is that an ad? >> Yeah, it is an ad.
13:34
>> Horrible ad to start with. >> Yeah. Um, I guess it got cancelled, unfortunately. Yeah.
13:40
>> Uh, which is a real bummer. And then, you know, Yeah. See, here we go. Footage
13:43
of the game. >> Yep. >> Wait. Oh, this doesn't actually contain the
13:49
footage of the game. [ __ ] you, IGN. What is this [ __ ] >> Yeah.
13:53
>> Anyway, it's a video just telling me that there's footage of the game.
13:56
>> It's footage cuz it's probably being they're too afraid to put it up being taken down.
14:02
>> Anyway, it's floating around. >> Probably just a rogue developer that
14:05
went, "Look, I'll put a lot of work into this. I want someone to see it. It's
14:08
been long enough. >> I saw it earlier in the week. It I
14:10
didn't look at it properly. I should have cuz now I probably won't be able to
14:12
find the [ __ ] thing. Um anyway, it's just people are sad because this would
14:16
have been great. >> See, I wish we didn't get Anthem, but we
14:20
had have got an Iron Man game because >> Anthem was terrible, but it was
14:25
basically Iron Man. >> Anthem was kind of fun. >> It was until you had to play with
14:32
someone. >> Yeah. And >> one time I did go and play try and play
14:36
it again and I because you have to play with someone. I joined up with someone
14:41
who's just played through the game a million times. So, they're just flying
14:44
ahead, destroying everything, doing the mission, and I'm no, I want to explore
14:48
and try and find stuff. And no, >> that's my experience playing Diablo 3
14:53
with Dave back in the day. [laughter] >> And he was like, "Let's team up." And he
14:58
would just [ __ ] off. And then he was like skipping all the dialogue. And I'm
15:00
like, "Hey, I'm leaving the party. [ __ ] [laughter] you."
15:04
>> Yeah. I'm here to enjoy the story. I know you've already played it, but
15:08
>> yeah. I don't play games as as as uh hardcore as you guys unfortunately [laughter]
15:15
for me. >> I know you would skip the dialogue on your first playthrough because you don't
15:19
give a [ __ ] >> I Yeah. >> Well, especially on Diablo. >> Yeah. I mean,
15:25
>> yeah, >> I get the gist. I don't skip as fast as Dave, but I get I I do skip a little
15:29
bit. I get the gist. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> The devil's out to kill us all.
15:35
>> Go save the town, >> Diablo. El Diablo, I think that's his
15:40
name, his full name. L Diablo. >> Um,
15:45
>> and on the topic of uh digital games, actually, uh, PlayStation has pissed
15:51
everybody off again. Remember they were doing this, you they said they're not
15:54
going to make physical discs anymore. Everyone got mad. >> Yeah.
15:56
>> Because then they keep taking movies away from people and and I think games
16:00
too, I think. Uh, and then now they just, like I said, have been this big
16:04
push about how like we're not going to make physical discs anymore because we
16:07
don't think people want them. And then they sent out just marketing, not
16:10
marketing, like a terms of service reminder thing this week basically to to
16:15
everybody, you know, they companies do that from time to time and but the gist
16:19
of it was um, hey guys, yeah, we're not making physical discs anymore. And then
16:24
they sent an email saying, oh, by the way guys, you don't own your games.
16:27
We're just giving you a license to play them and we can take them away. And then
16:30
everybody was like, "You [ __ ] morons." [laughter] >> Yeah. The worst time.
16:36
>> I mean, not that anyone could do anything about it, but >> No. >> Yeah.
16:40
>> But they probably there's probably some legal thing that they have to send out
16:43
updates every now and again, but I'm sure >> No. >> Yeah. Read the room. Like, everyone's
16:49
mad at you about this [ __ ] It's not Now's not the time to be uh reminding
16:53
people about that >> cuz we we already know. We're already not happy about it.
16:59
>> Yeah. I mean, I guess that's the thing. >> I guess maybe it's it's like a good a
17:04
good person at marketing over there was like, I'm going to do this now because
17:08
let's just get this all out of the way. >> Yeah. >> Everyone's already pissed off. Let's
17:12
just lean into it. >> Yep. Yeah. Yeah. I could see that. Um
17:19
I am looking at maybe I'm buying a Blu-ray burner and I'm going to start my
17:23
own NAS. So, we're just going to burn my Blu-rays, keep it all stored, and start
17:27
doing that, I think. I've already got one, mate. That's uh
17:33
>> I don't have a Blu-ray burner yet. >> No, I don't have a burner. I've got a a
17:38
drive to rip them. I don't Yeah. >> Oh, no. To rip. Yeah.
17:43
>> Like I say, that say burners are [ __ ] expensive. But a drive, you can read
17:48
them. Yeah, no worries. Uh >> um >> yeah, I got a Naz here
17:54
>> in the house. We do have one in a box somewhere,
17:57
>> but I haven't set it up. And I Yeah. And I'm thinking about Yeah. getting
18:00
Blu-rays and just starting to rip them and >> Yeah. Yeah. I've been doing that.
18:06
>> I don't know if I should. >> And then I do >> mention that publicly, but yeah. I mean,
18:10
plenty of people talk about it on YouTube. That's how I knew how to do it. Um >> Yeah.
18:15
>> And uh I've actually thinking of So I've got it's basically one. It's a computer.
18:21
It's an old computer that I've set up. It's got uh like seven [ __ ] hard
18:25
drives hooked up to it at this point. Um with like RAID redundancy like two
18:31
mirror drives and stuff like that like >> so one fails you don't lose it
18:38
>> like a with a backup drive and I swap I take a backup drive to Vermont and I
18:42
swap them out. I keep one one here because I back up photos and stuff too
18:46
too. It's not just movies and [clears throat] [ __ ] Cuz actually I
18:49
probably don't need to back up the movies >> cuz if like worst case scenario,
18:54
>> you've got >> I've still got them like I could just rip them again or whatever. But
18:58
>> it's just a cool thing to do. >> Yeah. And cuz I've got it once I get to
19:02
a point where there's two so many on there that they don't fit on the backup
19:05
disc, I'll probably just say, "Oh, back up the movies, back up my photos and stuff."
19:09
>> Yeah. >> Instead. Anyway. Um >> or you just buy bigger drives,
19:13
>> right? more often cuz it's cool things >> because drives are so expensive now. >> Yes.
19:18
>> That I don't know. But I cuz I probably I was thinking about expanding it but
19:22
not not right now. >> No, you can't now. It's going to be years until we can expand again
19:27
>> cuz the thing I was going to say is it also I've started on the same box. It
19:31
runs true which is like a y like a BSD based um like server
19:37
>> operating system. Um it's got like apps and stuff on there. It's got Plex, which
19:41
is how I play the movies and stuff like that. It's got uh Caliber for ebooks.
19:46
It's got um uh this thing called image which is basically like a open source
19:51
version of Google Photos. >> Okay. >> So I back up all my photos on there and
19:56
then and then I back those up onto the backup drive. So it's like actual
19:59
backup. It's not just because cloud's not really backup as such. >> No. >> Um
20:04
>> and I've been adding more and more stuff to it. And now I've got this thing
20:07
called NADN which is like a automation thing where you set up these nodes and
20:12
you can do various things and that's how you know I told you I get emails of the
20:15
news articles that I use to keep track of what to put in here. >> Yep.
20:18
>> So I've got this thing running on the server downstairs that pulls in RSS
20:23
feeds from all these like IGN and like um and like Dark Horizons for movie news
20:29
and just even like um Penny Arcade for comics and stuff like that. And then I
20:33
have a prompt that I send them all to Claude [laughter] and I say, "Okay,
20:38
stuff. These ones are essential. Always tell me about these ones." >> Yeah.
20:42
>> The rest of this stuff. And there's like like I don't know like a hundred websites.
20:48
I go through the articles. >> Tell me what you think. >> What you think I'll
20:52
>> what you think will be interesting. And then it sends me an email
20:55
>> and then I say, "Don't send me more than 20 at a time." >> Yeah.
20:58
>> Yeah. That's how I keep track of things at the moment. And it's works pretty
21:02
[ __ ] well. But anyway, that's all running on that server, too, with like
21:06
there's one called ROMs, which is like you put your old game ROMs on there,
21:09
stuff like that. Anyway, it's kind of I'm putting a lot of stuff on there. >> Yeah.
21:13
>> And uh I was like, maybe I need another box because [laughter]
21:18
I should probably not be doing all of this because I just installed Olama,
21:21
which is like uh like a home LLM. >> Yep.
21:26
>> But that's going to chew up some memory. So, uh yeah. Anyway, I'm maybe going
21:32
overboard on it a little bit and I was like, maybe I should be doing this sort
21:34
of different >> You're having fun with it, though. That's the main thing.
21:37
>> Yeah, I've even got I've got a little Mac Mini somewhere in the house. I need
21:40
to find out where it is, but I was like maybe I should be running, you know, the
21:44
O Lama stuff on that instead. It's not a new one, so it's not not one of everyone
21:48
runs them on the new um Apple silicon ones. This is an old one, but >> yeah,
21:53
>> just to keep it off, >> you know, my NAZ with my important backups on it. >> Yes.
21:58
>> As long as you're having fun. I am.
22:02
I am. It is very fun.
22:06
Yes. Uh we've got some Witcher news. >> Three things,
22:11
>> which is weird cuz we It's not that we have Witcher 4 news. We have Witcher 3 news.
22:16
>> Wait, we have one piece of Witcher 4 news, which is just that it's coming out in 2028,
22:21
>> which is not too bad. >> No, but you've got to wait a little bit
22:24
for that. But uh yeah, so that's the single piece of Witcher 4 news. The
22:28
Witcher 3 news is pretty [ __ ] sick. So,
22:34
>> it's we're getting a upgrade for it, so it's going to look
22:38
even better. And it looked amazing to begin with, I thought.
22:41
>> It's been a while since I played it, though. But I remember it looking good.
22:45
>> Mhm. Yeah, it technically came out on Xbox One and it already looked good. it
22:51
came and then when the Series X came out, they did a nextG update
22:58
>> and made it look better. But this is a full-on remaster of it
23:02
>> with uh changed like mechanics to improve the combat, improve the skill
23:08
tree, like just tons and tons of stuff. Basically like a fullon remaster of the game.
23:13
>> It's free. >> It's free. Uh, and it's got they got a
23:18
new expansion for the game coming out. >> Yeah. >> Like [ __ ] man. [laughter] What? T
23:25
Project Red is like like it just seems like
23:31
>> if you were just like purely profit focused, you wouldn't do this.
23:36
>> You wouldn't do this. >> You wouldn't Why would you do this? But
23:38
I just love that they did. They've done like I mean they'll make money off it
23:42
because people will buy I assume pay for the expansion >> but like
23:46
>> the expansion you're gonna have to pay for. I did they have also done something
23:49
else on Steam. They did up the price of the game by $10.
23:52
>> Fine. But a lot of people already played it or already own it rather I should say. So
23:57
>> yeah. So I don't think that's too bad. >> No. I just think it's sick. Yeah. So
24:03
it's a free update September September what 10th or something. No 29th. Way up.
24:08
And then we get the new DLC. And so this must be so cuz the Witch of Four is
24:14
going to be based on Siri, isn't it? >> Yep. >> Yeah. So they probably had more story
24:19
for for um Geralt. Gerald. >> Gerald. Yeah. >> So they had more story for Gerald that
24:24
they wanted to get out there and they want more people to play Gwent.
24:28
>> Yeah. There's more Gwent. They've confirmed that and people are happy. I
24:30
wonder if they changed Gwent. Gwent was fun. Um, I wonder if they've added any
24:36
more mechanics because, you know, as you play the new types of cards and stuff
24:39
like that, I'm presumably that's going to happen again.
24:42
>> Well, it's Gwent. It's easy when you're playing a single player game. When you
24:45
actually played Gwent, it was actually quite hard. >> Oh, and people complain because when
24:49
they made the standalone Gwent game, it was very different, but it's like Yeah, because
24:54
>> it was not actually balanced in No. >> in the in the game. Like, it was heavily
24:59
winnable like Yeah. It was Yeah. It wasn't a very good actual game.
25:04
>> It was very addictive still, but Yeah. It wasn't a fair game.
25:08
>> Yeah. Right. Yeah. It like It was not balanced for two humans to play it. It
25:12
was a game that you play against the computer. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.
25:16
>> And I remember towards the end of the game unbeatable deck that's just 10 10
25:22
and >> Yeah. It was not Yeah. The version that was in the game wasn't designed to be
25:27
played by two humans against each other. Yeah. >> And I knew when they released a quick
25:31
game, I wasn't going to like it because >> no, >> I don't like those games where you have
25:35
to pay attention to your cards and build a strategy and you like any customizable
25:40
card game. You have to >> no order cards and >> I've tried a lot of times.
25:47
>> Just can't do it. >> It's not for me. >> No sherwent.
25:52
>> Yeah. In the Witcher, I'll play that. >> Yeah. Where it's heavily balanced in my favor.
25:57
>> Yeah. [laughter] If I lose, I just reload. >> Yeah.
26:03
>> Oh, here's something. We were talking about um Star Citizen Squadron 42. >> Oh, yeah.
26:10
>> So, it's now officially been delayed. >> Yeah. >> And they're calling out
26:16
>> Why is it GTA 6, which >> Yeah, >> I sort of get.
26:22
>> Yeah. No, no, they look had to delay it for 10 years because of GTA 6. Luke, [laughter]
26:28
>> if you do look at the release for a year, nothing is releasing near GTA 6.
26:34
Like, >> I completely understand. It's just that it's just like [ __ ] you again. Like,
26:41
it's just because of that. >> It's not like they're releasing for like
26:44
they're releasing for at least 6 months. >> Yeah.
26:47
>> Like they've pushed it back another six to seven months. >> Yeah. It's
26:51
>> and still haven't committed to a date >> and they've just shown everybody that
26:54
it's not [ __ ] ready. Like, >> yep, >> they just had a massive issue with their
26:59
[ __ ] live stream and everyone the game doesn't work
27:02
>> at the release windows at the start of 2027 and decided that Q2 provides a
27:06
better time. Release a date like commit to something, not go >> mid next year,
27:11
>> next year sometime. >> Yeah. And someone on Reddit said, uh, oh, I
27:17
look forward to, uh, Q2 next year when they delay it again. [laughter]
27:25
But yeah, I do I can understand even though the competition's not really there because
27:30
>> GTA 6 won't be releasing on PC. >> So that'll be their excuse for next year
27:35
is sorry GTA 6 is coming out PC so we're going to have to delay it again for another year.
27:40
>> We'll see in 2029. Well, they said they said I think it they said that. It's
27:45
just that no one's going to be talking about anything except GTA, which
27:49
>> I mean it's that's all true and fair. It's just that it's combined with the fact that
27:56
>> everybody knows based on what's been happening lately that the game's not
27:59
ready. So, it's kind of like >> it's like Yeah. Yeah. >> They're going like at cuz they're
28:05
basically like two years ago we said we'll ship sometime in 2026.
28:09
>> Yeah. That's all. kickstarted it, wasn't it? 2016 it was supposed to come out.
28:13
>> Oh, yeah. >> Like,
28:16
>> but yeah. No. So, we'll wait and see. I don't think it's ever going to come out.
28:22
I wonder if the voice actors got paid for it >> cuz like Mark Hamill did voices for it
28:28
and everything. >> Do you know I read does this where was
28:31
this article? Uh I read something about
28:36
um was it in the comments of this? Someone linked it. Anyway, it grain of
28:40
salt, right? This is this is a thing. This is something I read this week about
28:43
Chris Roberts in particular. >> I didn't because I didn't know this.
28:46
Like I did he did Wing Commander and everything, right? >> Yes. >> Then >> great game.
28:51
>> He um he had a falling out with uh and
28:56
left Origin or whatever. Anyway, he ended up working on Privateeer, right?
29:02
>> Oh, yes. Freelancer. >> Sorry. Yes, you're right. Freelancer.
29:05
>> Got picked up by Microsoft. Mhm. >> And allegedly, >> yes.
29:11
>> Funnled the money that he was supposed to use for that game
29:17
>> into making the movie. Okay. So, this is true. I didn't know this.
29:20
>> It's on this article you've got on here. We read it is explaining what happened.
29:25
>> Okay. Okay. I knew I'd see I wasn't sure if it was in this or not. Oh, yeah.
29:28
You're right. Here we go. Expand this. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
29:30
>> Yeah. And so, he he misappropriated funds and there was a whole big lawsuit
29:35
about it. Uh, and Microsoft finished the game, not them.
29:40
>> And I I just didn't know any of that stuff. And also, he's um
29:45
>> something else. Ascended pictures. His company used money from VIP
29:50
Medinfold, a German tax shelter fund. Uh, just I don't know, just a bunch of
29:55
dodgy [ __ ] that Chris Roberts has done allegedly. I just didn't know about.
30:01
It seems like all these people were giving if this is all true, people
30:05
should not have been giving this spare money. >> It just it just it just explains a lot,
30:09
right? If he's been doing this if like again I know people are mad at them
30:13
right now and maybe they're being harsh, but if this is true does explain some of
30:18
the dodgy [ __ ] >> cuz we we always I always thought that
30:23
it was like they just got too much money and scope creep like we'll keep adding
30:26
all this cuz we keep getting more money. We got to add this and add this and then
30:29
oh technology's improved. We have to rebuild it all again for this.
30:36
>> It happens. Look at J forever. Same thing. >> Yeah, that does happen. But it also
30:39
seems like he may not have been according to this handling the money >> the best way.
30:46
>> Yeah. Or just questionable ethics as far as money and stuff like Yeah. like like
30:52
that that thing about like oh made the movie using money that was supposed to
30:55
be for the game like oh okay that's dodgy like >> yeah and
31:01
>> I still like that movie >> I haven't seen it in a long time I've I think
31:06
>> it's it's it's >> I think it's on >> good watch it's um
31:11
>> Matthew Lillard and oh what's his name >> Freddy
31:16
>> Freddy Yeah I was going to say Freddy Sarah Michelle Gella's husband
31:19
>> yeah that's what I was going with well he's better known as Sarah Michelle
31:25
Gella's husband but >> yeah he's a I was going to say he didn't
31:29
do movies but he did the new I know what he did last summer >> yes >> I wish he did
31:36
>> ah yeah [sighs] I mean that movie was not very good but uh >> no
31:41
>> it was nice to see them back him >> yes >> Jennifer
31:45
>> I don't think they did good for his character [laughter]
31:48
>> no they didn't make no sense kids. Yeah.
31:53
Oh dear. And the [ __ ] What else was I going to say? It doesn't matter.
32:00
>> It's It's'll come back later. >> It's just all so dodgy. >> Yeah.
32:06
>> Um Oh, I was going to say project management, right?
32:11
>> It it same duke forever. I say what you will about gearbox, but remember like
32:15
mismanagement, juke dick forever. What? How long was that in 12 years or
32:19
something like that? >> Yeah. just the same similar I guess where they were like
32:23
>> constantly changing the engine, adding things completely changing, new games
32:27
would come out. Oh, we need to add that kind of gameplay to our game constant
32:30
blah blah blah blah blah. >> And then again, say what you will about
32:33
Gearbox. They bought the rights to it and they just said no, we'll finish the [ __ ] game.
32:38
>> Just just release what you have. You're not starting a game.
32:40
>> This is what it is. Finish it. And they did. So, >> and it was terrible.
32:44
>> That's how you manage a project. >> Yes. [laughter] Like you have to say no
32:48
at some stage and just this is going. >> Yes. This is not going to be the
32:54
greatest video game in the world. It's just not >> No, you just have to accept it. We're
32:59
going to try and cut our losses. You've got a build that's playable. Ship it. >> Yeah.
33:05
And they did. >> Yep. And it was horrible.
33:09
>> Yeah. Yeah. And I guess they had the benefit of like no one was going to
33:14
blame them if it for it being [ __ ] So >> but like I said that's you just have to
33:20
do that just say no no no just wrap it up guys.
33:23
>> Whereas yeah Star Citizen it's from what we've seen it's not even close to
33:28
>> so I just wonder >> they just stop and just focus on bugs and ship.
33:32
>> Yeah. Yeah. Is it is it I I've not been following it that closely. Is it that
33:36
they took on too much they keep and like it was always too big or have they
33:41
changed it over time and they keep adding? >> I think they've changed it over time.
33:44
Added more stuff. But remember it's meant to be like as big as
33:49
oh no man's sky with like planets everywhere and you can fly and you can
33:54
land on them. Like it's meant to be a huge universe where you can go anywhere.
33:59
I mean, No Man's Sky is evidence that you can do that with a small team, >> but like
34:05
>> the the way >> Hello Games did what we just said. They
34:09
got to a certain point and they were like, "Okay, we got to [ __ ] finish
34:12
this up." And they put it out and it wasn't the best game in the world
34:15
>> and they worked on it still and >> and now it's [ __ ] excellent because
34:19
they just stuck with it, but like they released it.
34:23
>> Yes. Well, they released it and I think they were pushed to release.
34:27
I think they had some bad marketing from Sony on that. >> Oh, totally. Yeah. Yeah.
34:31
>> Yeah. Yeah. >> Like oversold. >> Oversold. And then and then but because
34:37
it was a small team and the amount of money they made from it, they were able
34:41
to Well, we're just continue to work on it and finish what we sold.
34:45
>> I'm amazed how they still just based on when it came out just how the reception
34:51
for No Man's Sky was just so negative. >> The fact that it's what, how many years
34:56
later is it now? 10 years since that came out >> and they're still releasing content.
35:00
>> Yeah. Like literally the other day they put out a massive update and I don't
35:03
know like if you're watching this and you haven't if you remember when No Man
35:07
Sky came out and remember thinking, "Oh, this is a bit shit."
35:10
>> Go back to the game. It's not even the same [ __ ] game. It's It's amazing.
35:14
>> Like every time I go, "Look, I'm going to go play it again. I'm just going to
35:18
play through the story. I get distracted with new stuff they've added and I'll spend
35:23
>> hours just building a base with a factory and >> yeah and it's like iterative like
35:29
they'll release something and you go ah yeah this is kind of cool but like it's
35:33
a bit clunky and then you and then I stop playing it and I come back like a
35:36
couple of months later and it's just like the feature is just like completely
35:39
expanded and it's like it's just turns into I don't know they just like I said
35:43
iterating on it and iterating on it and it's it's just become really great. But
35:46
I think they can because the game is also like graphics wise it's not intense. It's
35:52
>> sure >> everything whereas Star Citizen is going to be >> very heavy on that and
35:56
>> I think it's going to suffer for it. >> But we'll see. They know what they're
36:03
doing. They're on >> maybe. >> Although you can I guess you can play it
36:09
right Star Citizen if you want to. You could back it and play it right now.
36:13
>> You could you can play a version of it. Yeah. But
36:16
>> I'm not going to. But you could. All right. >> No, you'll see.
36:21
>> Uh, look, I've been watching some stuff. We >> You've been watching a lot of movies.
36:26
>> Yeah, I've got I've got time at the moment. My um, you know, school starts
36:30
next week. My daughter's going to kindergarten. Um, I've had to work. So,
36:35
you know, I stayed here, >> but my wife and my daughter uh, went
36:39
away for a girls weekend with some friends, >> which means no pants in the house.
36:44
>> Yeah. So there's my wife is now dealing with more than one child and [laughter]
36:48
that's going as well as expected. Um her and her friend. >> Um
36:55
but I've been here >> watching movies
36:59
>> having a lovely old time. I am basically caught up on the MCU as much as I care
37:05
to get caught up. >> You are. You are. This is Fantastic
37:08
Falls. The last one out and you've watched that on top of the others. I
37:12
have watched this week Black Panther Wakanda Forever. >> Mhm.
37:17
>> Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, aka the New Avengers, and
37:22
Fantastic 4: First Steps. >> Now, with McConda forever, did you spend
37:27
half the movie trying to work out when the Black Panther was going to show up?
37:30
>> No, I knew I knew I knew Chadwick Boseman had died. [laughter]
37:34
>> Yeah, I still when I saw that, I was waiting for so long to show that. Yeah,
37:40
but waiting for >> Black Panther at the end. >> Waiting for him.
37:44
>> That movie. Okay, we let's go through them. Wakanda Forever. Uh, I didn't
37:48
dislike it. It was It wasn't great. I can see
37:54
it would have been difficult because because Chad Bman died and they they
37:59
presumably were already in >> pre-production when that happened.
38:03
Um, I wanted to like it more because the stuff about uh God what? Not the they're
38:09
not Atlantan in in it. They're tech something. It's like a Mayan sounding
38:15
city, you know, the underwater people. >> Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Vaguely. It's
38:19
been a while. >> Okay. Well, they're very they're all
38:21
mess messes American cuz they're Mayan descendants. Like, you know, the story
38:25
is that the the the Spanish came and then the they
38:29
>> drank the liquid from the vibranium flower and it turned them into the blue
38:35
underwater people. They got gills and they went licked underwater. That's the
38:39
back. Anyway, I've I've I've been to Yucatan last year. I [ __ ] love mines.
38:45
I've got [ __ ] Mayan stuff. >> I love I love it.
38:49
>> Yeah. Like so when that when I realized oh that's their [ __ ] Mayan
38:56
>> like they speak Yucate Maya the language that the that they speak is a real
38:59
language that that a very a unfortunately vanishingly small number
39:04
of people in Yucatan speak. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So I was like oh this is sick.
39:09
>> But it just wasn't very interesting. [clears throat] >> Uh unfortunately.
39:12
>> Yeah. What what kind of felt more of a filler movie? It didn't really feel
39:17
>> well I think I giving them credit they probably thought they were going to have
39:22
Chadrick Boseman and then they had to like figure out [ __ ] what do we do and
39:26
then like I mean not that I have no problem with her becoming Black Panther.
39:29
That was I thought that was good. actually that that last bit of it I was
39:34
like, "Oh, this is good." And then >> it's just that the rest of it was kind
39:37
of like it's kind of meandering all over the place and I was like, "What's going on?"
39:42
>> Still when they didn't really know what the future held, they were still in that
39:46
in between. >> Yeah. I feel like all of these movies I
39:50
mean they got better as we go through. Spoilers. >> I [laughter] felt like So yeah, all of
39:55
these were kind of like treading water. >> Yeah. like
40:01
we want to get out but we don't know what we're doing here. We don't have an
40:04
end goal in sight like we did for >> not only that sh but also that whole
40:09
thing with Jonathan Majes happened >> so I think a lot of these were probably
40:12
supposed to be leading up to Kang. >> Yes. >> And then he hit his girlfriend
40:19
>> turned out to be a horrible horrible person >> and and they were like a [ __ ] So like,
40:24
you're right. They're just like little self-contained things that I I think
40:28
they must have had to quickly shift. That's my that's what I'm guessing.
40:32
Anyway, so what kind of forever? It was all right. >> Yep. >> You know, didn't
40:35
>> tell me the one I really want to know about is Captain America cuz that's what
40:38
I haven't seen. >> I Captain America also I felt was a bit
40:44
meandery and then at the end honestly when Spoilers, it's not spoiler, it's on
40:49
the [ __ ] poster. Harrison Ford plays uh what's his name? the the the general
40:52
who becomes the president. >> Um but he's been poisoned by the this
40:58
villain. Uh did you care about spoilers at all? >> No, I don't.
41:02
>> Okay. So, you find out Thaddius. Thaddius [ __ ] what was his name?
41:08
Can't remember. Uh it's Harrison Ford now instead of what's that guy's name?
41:14
Jeff. Jeff. Uh the guy from Lost in
41:18
Space. William Hurt. William Hurt. Wait,
41:22
William Her Thaddius MCU. Was he in the MCU? Am I making this
41:28
up? Yes. Thaddius Thunderbolt Ross. That's interesting. I'll come back to
41:34
that. Thaddius Ross was the character William Hurt played him and now Harrison Ford
41:39
plays him in this one. >> Now, is it because he died?
41:43
>> No, I don't know why. In fact, they make a joke about it because uh like William
41:50
Hurt had a mustache when he played him and then there's like one flashbacky bit
41:54
where Harrison Ford has the mustache and then they make a comment at one point
41:56
about how his daughter told him he had to get rid of the mustache. [laughter]
42:00
>> So, he does not have the mustache anymore. Um, but anyway, so he the
42:05
villain, he's got like a heart condition >> and he's trying to reconcile with his
42:09
daughter, Liv Tyler, >> because she's mad at him because if you
42:12
remember the Edward Norton movie, he calls >> that's the reason she's mad because the
42:16
Edward Norton movie >> because [laughter] Yeah. Because in the
42:18
Edward Norton movie, he calls the military in to kill the Hulk. >> Yeah.
42:23
>> Who she was in love with Banner. And so she's not forgiven him. And he's trying
42:28
to reconcile with her, but then he finds out he's got this heart condition and he
42:30
might die. And so he's desperate because he's trying >> Wow. They tied in.
42:35
>> Yeah. It shows footage. It's got footage from those movies. Yeah. >> Wow.
42:39
>> Um and uh so the the villain of the movie, I can't even remember his name.
42:45
Uh is like this brilliant mutant scientist who
42:51
cures him, but puts gamma radiation in increasing doses into the pills he's
42:55
giving him that turns him into Red Hulk. >> Red Hulk. And so at towards the end of
43:00
the movie, he turns into the Red Hulk and then it's fun for about 20 minutes
43:05
cuz that was cool. >> Okay. All right. >> There is some weird [ __ ] too though where
43:12
>> So it's Falcon who's Captain America now. >> Yes. >> Who is not a super soldier,
43:18
>> right? >> No, >> his superpowers. He's Exactly. He just has >> He was just friends with
43:24
>> Captain America wings and [ __ ] of vibranium. Clearly you can tell. I don't
43:28
remember when that happened, but you can tell from seeing them do things. >> Yeah.
43:33
>> And that's his superpower basically. >> Yeah. >> But there's bits where Hulk, Red Hulk,
43:39
like swings, picks up a telegraph pole and swings to hit people and he like has
43:45
it in his human arms like to stop him at one point. There's this one shot where I
43:50
was just like, well, his arms would be ripped off. >> Yeah. >> I mean, whatever.
43:55
>> Doesn't matter. >> Yeah, it doesn't matter. with it.
43:58
>> It's I'm I'm just That's It's one of those things where the movie wasn't
44:03
quite enough to have me not notice that. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> But that's the movie.
44:09
>> Should I watch it? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I enjoyed it. It was fun.
44:13
>> Yeah. Just that was at the time where I just dropped off went, "Look, I'm not
44:15
going any any again." And then I went to go and see Thunderbolts with Fantastic 4.
44:20
>> Like it introduces He's I mean, if you Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I
44:24
think was better the TV show. >> Yep. This felt like
44:29
the first half of this really could have just been that show. I think
44:34
>> I like that show that I know that wasn't wasn't super popular, but I quite like
44:39
>> the story line and the fact that people were upset now like we were at peace and
44:42
now all the people have come back and >> and that's where they introduced uh
44:47
Walker the other Captain America, right? the guy who's in the next movie. I'm
44:51
gonna talk about Thunderbolts, which though the the one thing I thought was um
44:55
>> we're talking about this a little bit on chat and I said that Dan should watch
44:59
Thunderbolts because it's worth his time. I thought Thunderbolts was good
45:01
and he might like it, >> but then I was like if he hasn't seen
45:05
Falcon and Winter Soldier, he's not going to know who the [ __ ] that guy is.
45:07
Suddenly there's this guy who's like a weird Captain America and he's like a prick.
45:11
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Like they don't explain who he is.
45:15
Normally, normally you could watch the movies without watching the TV shows,
45:19
but you couldn't watch the TV shows without the movies. But this is a bit
45:21
different this time >> because everybody else in there, like if
45:24
you don't know who Ghost is, ah, fine. Like, it doesn't it's not going to
45:27
confuse you. If you don't know who Taskmaster is, it's not confusing. And
45:31
also, spoilers also [ __ ] dies in the first five minutes for some reason. >> Um,
45:36
>> like, but with Walker, >> that's >> it's a guy who looks like Captain
45:40
America and has a shield, but he's a [ __ ] Like,
45:43
>> yes. [laughter] Who the [ __ ] is that guy? Like I don't know. There's more
45:47
questions I think with that. >> Yeah. >> If you've seen both, it's fine. It makes
45:51
sense. But yeah. No, it would be hard for someone who had not seen that and
45:55
you even I got to say because even Bob says that at some point like the
46:01
character of Bob at I think when they're trying to escape the lab at the start of
46:04
Thunderballs, Bob is like, "Who are you, Captain [laughter] America? Why are you
46:07
an asshole?" Like it's like Yeah. I think that's a good question.
46:11
>> Yeah. like I know why. But anyway, so yeah, uh Captain Micro World I think is
46:17
worth watching for you. I think you would like it. Probably not everybody.
46:20
If you don't have time >> for them, >> just watch the last 20 minutes.
46:24
>> I think you can skip it. I actually don't know why it's on the list of stuff
46:27
that you should watch before. >> Yeah, I found that one strange to be on
46:30
the list personally even though I hadn't seen it. It just didn't really feel >> cuz unless
46:36
>> maybe they just wanted more people to watch that one. [laughter]
46:40
It does introduce new Falcon. Like there's a new Falcon,
46:44
>> but he hasn't been in anything else really. >> So may maybe there's that. I'm trying to
46:48
think what else is in there that maybe I'm forgetting something that was
46:53
relevant. Uh oh. Oh. Oh, I know what it is. I know what it is. >> Adamantium.
46:59
That's why. That's got to be why they reveal in Captain America: Brave New
47:04
World that from the island at the end of Eternals, you know that [ __ ] celestial that
47:10
>> I fell asleep during that. >> So that thing that never came up again,
47:13
it came up again. So they there's a whole big scene set around it with Japan
47:19
and America going to fight because of they're fighting over the adamantium
47:23
that they found in the body of that celestial that they call Celestial Island now.
47:27
>> Okay. >> Okay. So, >> that's that also leads into the X-Men and Wolverine.
47:32
>> That's got to be why. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> There you go. I just told you. You don't
47:36
have to watch it now. >> Adamantium is a thing now. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Um, Thunderbolts.
47:42
>> Yep. >> I really like Thunderbolts. I think you think Thunderbolts was my favorite of
47:47
all these movies. >> I I think it was the the one that was
47:50
the most fun out of all of them. >> Yeah. was fun, but I think Thunderbolts was
47:57
more my style. It was like darker and like >> I don't know. I laughed out loud. >> Yes.
48:03
>> Multiple times in Thunderbolts. >> Yeah. No, I think Thunderbolts. Yeah.
48:08
No, that was the best one leading up to where we're going,
48:13
>> which surprised me because it just seems like kind of a throwaway. >> Yes. like,
48:18
>> but no, you do realize that they're probably going to play a bigger part,
48:21
especially when you see Spider-Man and she's back in it as well. And
48:26
>> I haven't seen that yet. Yeah. Okay. >> She she you don't get to see her
48:32
breasts. Sorry. >> Who are we talking about? >> Florence Pew.
48:38
>> Oh, [laughter] who do you think I was talking about?
48:42
>> I was like, whose breasts do you see in the other Spider-Man movies? [laughter]
48:46
Like like Florence Pew's breast. >> Normally in Spider-Man movies, we get
48:52
some tits, but not in this one. >> Florence Pew is all for free to nip and >> Yeah,
48:57
>> I support her, >> man. She's [ __ ] great in Thunderbolts. I mean, they all are.
49:02
That's It's just that that's I think the reason I liked it is because they're all
49:06
like shitty flawed characters. It's a bit like Guardians, I guess, in a way
49:10
where they're like they're not good guys. They're like super [ __ ]
49:16
selfinterested generally. Like Elena is more more like
49:21
of a a good person than you would think. But
49:24
>> yeah, we'll do whatever she wants to get what she wants.
49:29
>> Yes. And I also really liked Bob. Obviously, I thought Bob was a good
49:34
character because he's goofy and silly at the start. And then when he spoilers
49:39
the void when he has his cuz I really
49:43
like that he's like seems like he's a bipolar superhero. They took somebody
49:49
with a [ __ ] you know mental illness and gave him superpowers [laughter] and
49:54
he's like he's manic. He's like the century when he's manic and he thinks
49:58
he's a god and then he gets [ __ ] depressed and [laughter] turns into the
50:02
void and just [ __ ] obliterates every I was like this is great. Like I really like that.
50:07
>> Like that was cool. I Is he like that in the comics? Maybe. But I just that kind
50:11
of parallel where it's like, "Oh, that's Yeah, he's bipolar." Like he's [ __ ]
50:16
crashes out and >> like crashes out >> and goes real dark and [ __ ] what's
50:21
the point of everything? I'm just going to drag everybody to hell with me. Like
50:25
that's cool. >> Yeah, I liked it. >> I know. >> And the effect when he turns into the
50:31
void. >> Yes. >> When he's just there's no light and you
50:34
can just see his eyes. I was like, "Yeah, I like I liked it."
50:38
>> And then you came into the last one, which is a very different tone to the others.
50:43
>> Yes. I'm sad in a way that because presumably
50:48
the Fantastic 4 will end up in the normal MCU. >> That's
50:54
>> We don't know how yet. Well, they at the end of Thunderbolts, the postredit
50:57
scene, the ship is there. So, presume somehow they must travel to the other
51:01
another dimension. >> Yeah. for some reason, but we didn't find out why yet. >> No.
51:06
>> And I'm a bit sad just because, like you said, the world of the Fantastic 4 is so
51:12
cool and interesting. >> Yes. >> And I hopefully they'll go back to that
51:16
universe where it's kind of like 50s. >> Yeah. The robots got the tapes that you put in.
51:23
>> Yeah. Like it's all sort of modern but not >> Yeah. It's got like, you know, they
51:28
listen to records instead of like [snorts] that's how they do audio stuff
51:33
and the TVs are all like CRTs. Like Time Square's got these giant CRTs.
51:37
[laughter] Like I just it's cool.
51:41
>> So yeah, that that cuz that was the last one out before Spider-Man came out for
51:47
>> Yeah, I think so. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And I really liked it. I
51:51
>> uh I thought it did taper off for me like at the end I was just okay like I
51:58
don't know the Galactus thing. It was weird to me he that he shows up in the
52:02
spaceship. Uh sorry spoilers. Uh he shows up in his big spaceship at the end
52:07
and they're like we're going to lure him in with the baby. Uh you have to watch
52:10
the movie figure out what I mean by that. Um but they're like we're gonna
52:13
use the baby as bait. [laughter] Galactus just wants a baby. Um,
52:18
and then I don't think they ever showed that happening. Suddenly Galactus just
52:25
is there and gets off that chair thing and he's on Earth all of a sudden. I
52:29
don't know. It just >> Yeah. No, they didn't really
52:32
>> There was a weird transition where he's the spaceship, the big ship's coming.
52:36
They said they were going to do the plan and then it cut to Galactus stepping
52:40
onto Earth. And I was like, okay. I mean, I I know I know I can intuit it
52:46
what they did, but like I don't know. That just seemed a bit weird.
52:51
>> But no, I I do I did enjoy it. And I did like the ending how that sort of first
52:56
scene that we saw of Doom. >> Yes. Yep. >> But you didn't know who he was at the
53:01
time. Then >> there's a theory that whatever was happening in that scene is why he looks
53:06
like Tony Stark. I don't know what the [ __ ] that would mean exactly
53:10
because Franklin, the baby, he's not baby anymore. He's like a toddler >> is touching in
53:16
>> and spoilers. >> Slightly before that in the movie, you see him bring uh
53:23
>> what's her name back? >> She she uses her powers to push Galactus
53:29
into the the teleporter. >> Yeah. She dies. She's um >> and Franklin brings her back.
53:34
>> Storm. >> Storm. Yes. >> Yeah. Um, Franklin brings her back like so he obviously has
53:41
>> some sort of >> some powers. >> Powers. He's got powers. Well, and cuz
53:44
Galactus wanted him. So, he's got presumably >> significant powers of some.
53:48
>> Yeah, Galactus is like, "Give me the baby and Earth is I'll leave Earth
53:52
alone." Like, there's something there. >> Leave your delicious planet alone.
53:55
>> Yeah. He's going to eat the baby. >> No, he's going to make the baby his
54:01
heir. I was like, "Okay, >> he's going to eat the baby.
54:04
>> He's going to eat the baby." Yeah. >> Um, >> yeah. So, there's a theory that Franklin
54:11
is the reason Doom looks like Captain America
54:18
and then makes it to >> Yeah. >> I also, was it Dan that said the other
54:22
day there's that theory floating around that Robert Downey Jr. isn't playing Doom and
54:28
this is all just been a big [ __ ] because they've done they've done like
54:31
lesser stuff like this before. That would be incredible. That would be
54:34
amazing if that was a >> big smack as Iron Man and then they like [laughter]
54:39
[ __ ] you. We were kidding. Someone else is playing Dr. Doom.
54:45
>> That would be the biggest twist in any movie ever. Or not even movie life like
54:52
that's >> I mean that's not going to be it. But I wish that was it. That would be great.
54:57
>> Massive. >> We'll have to wait and see. We've only
54:59
got till December to find out. It's only four months away. Well, see, I thought I
55:03
was done, but I found out this week I'm not done. >> You're not done?
55:08
>> No, there's one more. At least one more thing I'm going to have to watch. Oh,
55:11
yeah. So, technically, I didn't watch Loki, but I know I I watched season one
55:14
of Loki, and I through media, I know what happens at the end of Loki.
55:20
>> He becomes the master of time or something. >> So, I don't Yeah, I don't really need to
55:24
watch it. I don't think I I I'm I I'm able to understand what has happened
55:29
without watching it. But I will if I get the chance cuz I liked that show.
55:32
>> But Spider-Man, you should watch. >> Spider-Man I will watch. Um
55:36
>> and the thing I have to watch apparently we all have to watch. We've been told by
55:41
uh Joe Russo that Avengers Encore,
55:45
Avengers Endgame Encore, which is
55:48
Avengers Endgame with extra footage and kind of like remastered basically
55:55
because they've seen sideby-side shots. So, they've they've adjusted Avengers
55:59
Endgame in some ways. And it is required
56:03
viewing. It's uh 4 minutes longer. 4 minutes longer than
56:09
he [laughter] I just want to see the four minutes.
56:13
>> No, no, you've got to rewatch it because they have changed stuff. I've seen
56:20
sidebyside shot. I like I don't know what the [ __ ] they're up to, right? So,
56:23
I wouldn't say I wouldn't take the four minutes extra as being it because >> yeah,
56:29
>> even just like lighting and stuff they've tweaked and that's what they've
56:33
shown. I don't know if that means they've changed other stuff. Like
56:37
>> I presumably they haven't changed the plot. That would be a [ __ ] weird thing to do.
56:41
>> They Yeah, they couldn't go that far, could they? >> Well, I don't know. Like maybe the
56:47
camera pans around slightly differently now and you can see, oh, there's [ __ ]
56:51
what's his name? Like I don't know. >> It's getting Don't know if Oh, no. It's
56:56
getting a theater release. Yeah, we'll >> go see it.
57:00
>> No, no, I'm not done. I'll just watch it. It's going to have to be on Disney Plus.
57:05
>> I will. Three hours and five minutes. [laughter] It's
57:10
>> so long. It's so long. All these ones were I was like they're all like 2 hours
57:15
actually. Wakanda forever I think was longer than that. How much? Wakanda
57:18
forever felt long. 2 hours and 40 minutes. Wakanda forever.
57:24
That explains that. [ __ ] me. That's why. Oh yeah, Iron Hart was in it
57:31
too. I was like, "Oh, yeah. Okay." I mean, I didn't have a problem with her.
57:35
I was just like, "Man, this is a lot of like >> it's a it was very thin. There was a lot
57:40
of stuff without a lot of depth." I felt like >> Yeah.
57:44
>> Um, the other thing I was going to point out that I noticed when I looked up
57:47
William Hurt in the MCU is that his
57:51
character's name is Thaddius Thunderbolt Ross. And I'm guessing because in that
57:57
in the comics, the Thunderbolts are named after him.
58:00
>> Yeah. But not in the MCU. In the MCU, they're named after Elena's uh soccer
58:07
team when she was a kid. >> Yes. [laughter] >> Which I think is funnier. >> Yes.
58:13
>> So, yeah. I just thought that was interesting. Wait, William Hurt did die.
58:17
I'm a [ __ ] idiot. >> I said he did. I said he I
58:24
>> I thought you meant the character, I think, cuz I was just thinking back
58:26
like, wait, why did I say he wasn't dead? He's He obviously he's dead, but
58:30
that Yeah, I think I got confused. Yeah, William Hurt is dead.
58:33
>> All right, I'm not crazy. >> No, no, no. I'm crazy.
58:39
>> I am crazy thinking about going to see Avengers Endgame on call.
58:43
>> No, I'm just going to wait for Disney Plus. >> Avengers Endgame is a good movie.
58:46
>> Yeah, I'm just going to wait for Disney Plus. I'm going to go see Resident Evil
58:49
the week before that'll do. >> A [ __ ] yeah.
58:53
I'm I'm keen to watch that. M >> that I'm looking forward to.
58:59
>> I can't believe the guy from [ __ ] whitest kids, you know, [laughter] is
59:02
making these movies now. >> I mean, good on him.
59:05
>> Well, that's always the dream. You don't >> Yes. Yeah. You make your [ __ ] stupid
59:11
sketch show when you're young. >> Yeah. >> About a [laughter] The grape.
59:16
>> Look at Edgar, right? >> Yeah. True. True.
59:21
That sketch is so funny. I know it's not for everybody. The grapest.
59:28
[laughter] God, >> it's so funny. The popcorn sketch.
59:32
>> Just all of it. It's I'm getting a lot of it pop up on YouTube lately.
59:35
>> You think you're not getting it. It's a chick with huge boobs and balls. What's
59:40
gay about that? It's a chick. [laughter]
59:45
>> So funny. >> Okay, tell me when this gets gay. [laughter]
59:55
Um, in uh silly news, it's Apple news.
1:00:00
Um, the uh the infamous polishing cloth. Do you know about this? >> No.
1:00:06
>> Okay. So, when they a few years ago when they announced um a bunch of other very
1:00:11
expensive stuff like I think the studio displays, not studio displays, the what
1:00:15
are the big ones? the >> Oh, what's
1:00:20
>> the the the [ __ ] five $6,000 displays where the stand was $1,000?
1:00:26
>> Yeah. Like the stand was like just ridiculous price for nothing. Like
1:00:30
>> And then I think at the same time they there was a polishing cloth. It's
1:00:34
literally a microfiber cloth that you can use to clean your laptop or your screen
1:00:38
>> up for dollars. >> 20 bucks. [laughter]
1:00:42
>> And it was 20 bucks. And uh it funnily enough had like a compatibility
1:00:48
compatibility list on the there was just a whole bunch of stuff about it that was
1:00:51
very funny where it was like compatible [laughter] with the MacBook Pro going
1:00:57
back to a certain year like don't use it on the ones before that. It's not
1:00:59
compatible. [laughter] Like it was just >> what? It's a microphone and cloth.
1:01:03
They're all the same. >> Yeah. It was just very silly. But
1:01:06
anyway, just this week amusingly uh it's had a a price reduction. So, it's the
1:01:11
much more reasonable $9 now,
1:01:16
which to be clear is not reasonable for a microphone. >> No,
1:01:20
>> you can buy a whole pack of them for $2. Like, I've got them [ __ ] everywhere.
1:01:25
I can't get rid of the [ __ ] things. They're everywhere. [laughter]
1:01:27
Everything comes with them. >> Yes. >> Except your Mac.
1:01:31
>> Oh, I The sad thing is people would have been buying this.
1:01:36
>> Yeah. And all you are just paying for the logo on a bit of cloth.
1:01:41
>> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure it's a very good microfiber cloth, but you know,
1:01:47
>> it want to be for 20 times the price.
1:01:51
>> Yeah. And the the the problem with it is
1:01:54
look at it. It's like light gray. It's going to get dirty presumably,
1:02:01
right? And you're going to have to because you throw these things away like
1:02:05
or you throw them in the wash like I don't know.
1:02:07
>> I like the fact that in the article they didn't even got lucky. You can buy this
1:02:10
five pack for like seven bucks. >> Yes. I've got tripping over them mate.
1:02:15
They're everywhere. Like you buy a [ __ ] phone screen
1:02:20
protector, it comes with five of them. Like [laughter]
1:02:24
anyway, just made me laugh. Yeah, it's reduced. >> Thank you, Apple.
1:02:29
Yeah, I mean the computers are good value. I maintain that. I know people
1:02:34
like to [ __ ] on them compared to uh you know I use a Mac. I have for a
1:02:39
while now. I've actually we're having this conversation on chat too the other
1:02:43
day. I've got down here under the desk. You're not going to be able to see it. I
1:02:45
can't lift it because of my my back. >> I've got a G4 Power Mac down here that I
1:02:50
managed to get for free cuz no one wants it. >> But I think it's beautiful.
1:02:55
>> Does it work? >> Uh I don't know. No, it's got no RAM in it and I I can't afford RAM so
1:03:00
[laughter] >> No, I can. >> No, I was actually thinking of like I'm
1:03:04
I'm not going to use this for anything. >> No. >> Like,
1:03:06
>> but what I might do So, it's the G4 tower, the the blue one. It's I think
1:03:11
they're I love them. It was my first Mac. I think they're just really cool
1:03:15
design and I'm sad computers don't look like that anymore. Um,
1:03:20
but I'm thinking I might take the inside the guts out of it and put them
1:03:24
somewhere safe because I think actually I could probably just sell those
1:03:26
separately. Uh, like the motherboard and stuff >> possibly.
1:03:30
>> Except I don't know if it works. >> So, I don't know. That's a thing. But
1:03:33
anyway, I might turn it into a drink cabinet cuz the side of it latches and
1:03:37
then pulls down. And I reckon you could put some, you know, bottles of scotch or
1:03:41
something in there and it would make a cool drink cabinet. >> Do it.
1:03:44
>> Yeah. And then because I mean its purpose is to look nice.
1:03:49
>> People think to look in there and when you get to the time that you have to
1:03:52
start hiding your alcohol from your daughter [laughter] computer.
1:03:56
>> That's right. Yeah. Cuz when I brought it home, Jenna was like, "What are you
1:03:59
going to do with that?" And I was like, "What do you mean? I'm going to look at
1:04:02
it. [laughter] Look at it. >> I'm sad. >> What can't I do with this?
1:04:06
>> I'm sad I got rid of my uh my old Well, because we moved. The only reason I got
1:04:09
rid of it is because we moved to America and it was like
1:04:11
>> and you had to cull stuff. I'm not paying to lug that across the world. Yeah.
1:04:16
>> Yeah. Especially when Yeah. You weren't using it. But I knew I did get Apples do
1:04:20
have their purpose. >> Yeah. I the the new laptops are great.
1:04:24
Like and to to bibble [ __ ] on it because Yes. Yeah. You can buy a Windows laptop
1:04:28
for a couple hundred bucks, but it's not >> not equivalent, right? To get an
1:04:33
equivalent laptop, you've got to pay about the same price.
1:04:36
>> Yeah. Yeah. No, you do. Like Yeah. That >> Yeah. Yeah, you can't buy cheap laptops,
1:04:40
but they last >> when you get into the other stuff like
1:04:42
the desktops and stuff like the and like the the the upcharge on [ __ ] hard
1:04:47
drive space and stuff. Okay. Yeah. Then it gets absurd. But like for like a
1:04:50
buying just a base laptop for general use, I think they're very reasonable.
1:04:56
>> Yeah. I'm just >> And then they gouge you. >> I'm going to stick with a desktop.
1:05:01
>> [sighs] >> Ah, see I would, but I've got to I go to
1:05:04
Vermont and I need to be able to do this from Vermont and I go down to like, you
1:05:10
know, if I go down to Jersey to VCF again, you know, we got to record. >> Mhm.
1:05:17
>> And I've tried doing it with, you know, iPads and stuff and it's like, well, why
1:05:20
don't I just have a laptop? What's the [ __ ] point of all this? >> Yeah,
1:05:25
>> you make it work. >> I do. [snorts] Anyway, if we're gonna
