[Music] welcome to multiple
0:03
nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and
0:07
Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All
0:13
Things
0:17
nerdy so I was right yet again Mass Effect Trilogy is coming out and it was
0:23
announced on November 7th yeah you're right about several aspects there I mean
0:29
it in so was kind of obvious the obvious choice yeah it really was to announce it
0:35
but you were correct and I would not have guessed so what really gave it away
0:41
was when they announced that the voice actors were coming together on November
0:45
7th and it's all like there's no reason why they need to get a pandemic there's
0:49
no reason for them to be in the same room other than this no so yeah they
0:53
finally announced that it's coming out next year well not only that they're
0:57
working on another Mass Effect game uh it was that was part of this
1:00
announcement too yeah but I'm not focused on that no I was like we've been
1:06
through that before that was the least exciting part of
1:10
this because I I had high hopes for Andromeda yeah and the way they spoke
1:16
about it was it was going to be this great game that would you would go you
1:19
would do stuff and then the world would sort of change around you but what that
1:24
happened was you landed on a planet stuff would build and then that was it
1:29
just same actions would happen over and over nothing changed it reminded me of
1:34
um I mean it was very similar to dragon
1:36
age uh Inquisition but not as good
1:41
so yeah so we'll wait and see I mean I'll looking forward to oh yeah
1:47
definitely I'm looking forward to playing the first one again that's
1:50
actually my favorite of all well see I you know I told I mentioned a little
1:55
while back I tried and I couldn't cuz it was too clunky so I'm hoping that this
1:59
will un clunky it in some way so it's
2:04
one of these weird things it's I think what I like about games other people
2:09
don't like about games achievements the mass effect the
2:14
Mass Effect Trilogy it seemed that as it went along it removed all the stuff that
2:19
I really liked really see I found the opposite in Mass Effect Effect one I
2:26
like the exploring of planets and I would go through and I would explore
2:30
every aspect of the entire planet I liked that too but in the first one I
2:34
mean it's been a while but I mean there was nothing different about any of the
2:38
planets you would go there and there would just be like there's an empty
2:42
planet with one building on it and you go inside and there'd be three guys in
2:46
there and then they'd just be like hey [ __ ] off and then you'd shoot them and
2:49
then there'd be like some generic stuff in a box like oh I did like the sort of
2:55
going around and finding the resources and stuff like that nothing I think
2:59
you've got a good imagination so you were probably doing most of the heavy
3:02
lifting for that game like it is true yes which I then they just they get rid
3:09
of all that stuff and it happened with a lot of games I well yeah cuz as of two
3:13
you just kind of scanned planets right yeah you didn't which I quite liked as
3:18
well and then they got rid of it oh yeah see I've forgotten in the third
3:23
one it's been ages since I played the third one I've actually played the other
3:26
two more recently than the last one you you did SC of a
3:31
shooter the reap right but even in the first SP like your guns were different
3:38
like in the second one they introduced ammo oh sure in the first one it was
3:42
just your gun overheated and you had to wait and yeah you like waiting I don't
3:48
that's one of things I don't know if I'm going to play I don't know if I'm going
3:51
to play them twice
3:55
again okay like Paragon and Renegade yeah cuz that's what I did with the
4:00
original trip I played through good and then I went through very evil very
4:06
evil I think I'm just going I don't know if I can this time I don't have the time
4:11
I thought you were going to say I just I just can't be evil anymore well I can't
4:15
be evil either people are the worst so I just finished watching the Xbox series X
4:21
announcement yes oh launch they announced it a little while ago launch
4:25
yeah and I was watching on Twitch and I was watching the comments section and
4:30
I don't know I just don't like people why what did they say they say
4:35
mean things about your Xbox people just complaining and
4:39
bitching and yeah people people mad people complaining mad at lar their
4:45
pre's not there and it's not supposed to be there till tomorrow and then people
4:50
just started to argue with each other and like where are the codes
4:55
and I Know It Takes the fun out of stuff yeah I I generally turn the chat off when I'm
5:01
watching things I watch actually the penny arcade guys stream sometimes and I usually just
5:06
turn the chat off except the that's actually the chat kind of participates
5:12
on on their streams so yep and is generally quite positive this just takes
5:18
up too much screen real estate I was sort of hoping that they'd make an
5:21
announcement but they didn't oh waiting for yeah you you were
5:27
going to announce well let's you can announce now if you want I'm going to
5:31
announce it so I not here that's our big
5:37
an I should be being inducted to the Xbox Hall of Fame yeah
5:43
congratulations I'm still in quite a bit of shock about so what is it that you
5:49
did did did they say specifically what did you do to get this I don't know okay
5:55
don't I mean don't ask just in case they start looking into it they're like wait
5:59
a minute we [ __ ] up it well that's what I I think they might have because I
6:04
really don't know what I've done because on the CH Chief's website they've been
6:10
people have been tracking and actively trying to win some of the competitions
6:14
they had like there was eight categories yeah I just signed up and forgot about
6:20
it so I haven't been actively trying you did you you performed your your standard
6:25
procedure which is you signed up paid the registration fee and then just went
6:28
about your life as if you hadn't done that yep so yeah I have no idea what it
6:33
was for but we'll find out at some point I'm sure so what what is the I mean the
6:38
Xbox Hall of Fame that sounds good what what is what are the what does that mean
6:43
so I'm going to get uh Xbox series X all right so you'll have three of those I
6:48
have three of those I'll have a hoodie okay that's good and another year of
6:54
Xbox game pass ultimate so I'm not don't have to pay for that till 2022 or 23 or
6:59
something [ __ ] hell yeah and the thing I'm most looking
7:03
forward to a trophy yeah okay a trophy you don't know what it looks like yet
7:09
mhm yes oh what does it look like I mean describe it I guess if you
7:16
can it's that clear plastic okay perspect or whatever sort of diamond
7:21
shape and it says H yeah perspect and says Hall of Fame on it cuz um yeah some
7:26
people already have their what I was having a look today and the some of the
7:32
people who have this are like stallion 83 and who's that um he's the first guy to get a
7:38
million gamer scho oh all right I knew I'd heard the name
7:44
before so this is the sort of caliber that I've be inducted into the Hall of
7:49
Fame with which I feel pretty good about yeah no that is cool that's really cool
7:54
I can't wait to find out why you've been why that's happened see I don't know cuz
8:00
it's going back for seven years some of the categories so it's going back to the
8:05
actual launch it could be something you did the remember well some things like
8:10
the highest gam score on Xbox like one since come out which I don't I know I've
8:15
jumped up my rankings but there's guys that are a lot more in front of
8:20
me um a number of achievements is another one okay so not actual gamer
8:26
score but number of achievements but yeah I don't know I mean compared to me
8:30
I imagine if if Microsoft was like let's compare two random people and they
8:34
happen to pick us you would win yep yes easily yeah cuz I played my Xbox a fair
8:40
bit like but you you really committed to playing Xbox I probably got more gamer
8:47
score in October than you got in the last two years yep yeah I'm not going to
8:52
argue with that I think I got about 16,000 I've got an achievement in in
8:57
October I'm got an achievement in months oh I think the last achievements I got
9:02
were the Minecraft ones and then I haven't gotten any since then I've been
9:05
playing games I've been playing uh Assassin's Creed Odyssey and I've been
9:09
playing no man's Sky just not getting any achievements because I'm just playing the
9:13
games but you accidentally come across some chiev wouldn't
9:18
you not in a while I guess I'm doing it wrong well yeah but I just play for the
9:25
achievements yeah well congratulations
9:29
thank you I'm a bit upset the one thing I'm upset about watching the
9:34
announcement or the launch was I saw how good watchog Legion looks on the series
9:39
X oh yeah I've already finished it of course you have how many hours of
9:45
uh game play is that um to get 100% in a game it's like people are saying like 35
9:50
to 40 hours 100% of all achievements I
9:53
haven't got 100% say [ __ ] hell but I reckon that's a bit Overkill you can do
9:59
it in 30 it came out what last week yeah what so was it good are you going to
10:05
willing to do a review was it a good game
10:10
I it was missing things for me doesn't sound like missing the side it was
10:15
missing the side quests like even in Watch Dogs 2 there was like being an
10:19
Uber driver and take photos of this it was missing that type of stuff I was
10:23
missing that Living World right and I all I ended up doing is just fast
10:27
traveling everywhere right okay okay which sort have sucked because I was
10:31
looking forward to walking around London and going hey I've been here yeah cuz it
10:36
is London but I just end up fast traving just finishing the game did you play as the old
10:42
lady I played as everyone okay which is something which I think why I didn't
10:48
quite like it I play CU you're a racist no the reason why I don't think I
10:55
quite liked it is grw no attachment to any of the characters oh okay cuz you
11:00
can recruit anyone in a game that's actually I read online that people were
11:05
saying that like it's very difficult to care about any of
11:07
the like towards the end of the game I was using them as
11:11
canf like run in die work out where you need to go and then the next person that
11:16
goes in I know where to go and I don't have to worry about stuff now yeah okay
11:21
it's a good idea but I just don't think they pulled it off great well I'm
11:25
probably not going to play that to be honest I just not fussed about it
11:30
I'm looking forward to playing Assassin's Creed for holla yeah see I'm
11:34
going to wait on that I guess too because I've got Odyssey and Origins
11:38
that I can play if I want to and well what do you you've got an Xbox series X
11:43
coming what are you going to play on it cyber Punk but that doesn't come out for like
11:48
five weeks but I mean it'll play all my games it will but don't you want
11:54
something that's going to look a bit nicer yeah but I'm not going to I don't
11:57
know maybe seems like it's like a waste of
12:02
money it going to buy a game for the sake of it I'm like well you conso just
12:07
for the sake of it no I didn't I wanted the console I wasn't going to get one
12:11
this year if I didn't order pre-order one no and that's the funny thing that's
12:15
even happening in New Zealand at the moment so they've just done the launch
12:18
for it but their deliveries Del late so they're not actually going to get it for
12:22
another day so were they supposed to get you proba have yours oh they're going to
12:25
get theirs on the 11th on the 11th
12:30
so you will likely have yours before New Zealand even though they're officially
12:34
the launch country mine is in New Jersey according to the uh
12:39
FedEx which that could make it to you in a day that could get hereit todayy if
12:44
they wanted to but they maybe don't want
12:47
to yeah so we'll see mine is sitting in New Zealand not New Zealand I mind
12:53
sitting in Sydney yeah went from Melbourne to Sydney and I was s like too
12:58
far by camera bring it back Drive 4 hours the other
13:05
way so I keep refreshing it every like 5 to 15 minutes and it's still just
13:10
sitting there it's been sitting there for like 8 hours now could have been
13:14
here could have been playing it for eight hours yeah that's all right I can
13:19
be patient I'm actually still on my website DHL it says it's not coming till
13:23
Thursday which what it's not a it's not a bad thing oh sure because you yeah you
13:28
said you don't want it early cuz you'll not go to work yeah cuz if I get it I
13:33
want to play it not so if it gets Clos to the weekend I'm okay with see I don't
13:38
see doesn't want I don't have that problem cuz I got nothing to play on
13:43
it I'm literally just going to unplug my SSD from this plug it into that and then
13:49
uh I'm good done yep now I've got also got my ex hard drive coming for it as
13:55
well oh the expans expansion slot God that's expensive yeah well I haven't
14:02
bothered with it because I haven't got any games yet so it's not like I'm going
14:05
to fill it up I know I will but the card is like half the cost of the Xbox yeah I
14:10
know that's why I was like [ __ ] that and that's the other thing too I cuz I was
14:14
considering an Xbox One S to go in here
14:18
but then it's only got 500 gig of storage and only 350 of it is usable so
14:25
yeah and so I've got to if I've got to buy that expansion thing to like get
14:29
space on it I've just bought an Xbox series X so yeah so you might as well
14:33
just get the bigger one stupid so yes I'm a bit upset that it's only one gig
14:38
like even the expansion card is one gig sorry terabyte right terabyte sorry yes
14:43
being stupid yeah I think I did the same
14:46
thing we're living in the past 500
14:51
megabytes that's not even but no it's no but so I just I don't know to me even
14:58
the expansion I would have liked get like a two tbte at least yeah they I
15:01
mean they will that's why I was like I know but I'm just very impatient no I
15:05
know and it's only one slot right um I believe so which I got a shock over
15:11
which I you know you can just swap a minute out as you need to but it would
15:13
just be nice to have two yeah but it might be expensive cuz it's that super
15:18
fast yeah thing like it's the load times are meant to be like cut it down from
15:24
Xbox One X to the series X like a quarter of time I've seen videos of um a
15:29
pce on her play her which could could sort of give you like a minute back of
15:34
your day yeah no break it down the switching between games man it's going
15:39
to be so cool oh yeah so cool cuz like like even when you do like a a full
15:44
restart your save state is still there so just load back up I [ __ ] awesome
15:50
cuz there's nothing worse than especially cuz I'm part of the beta for
15:53
the Xbox updates yeah so I get probably more updates than most people ly d
16:00
no it's not good because you'll be in the middle of a game and goes up I've
16:04
got an update oh right now mine tends to do that while I'm asleep yep no mine
16:10
tends to do that while I'm playing bummer oh so by the time uh this
16:16
episode comes out we should have our Xboxes I think maybe I really hope so I
16:23
should have two by then so we'll definitely have something to say about it next
16:27
week except Dan because he didn't pre-order so maybe he would better if he
16:32
wasn't here next week that's all we're gon to be talking
16:36
about uh something else something else happened this week uh you probably heard
16:41
about it uh we don't talk about too much because we don't really do politics much
16:45
here on this show but uh well in
16:50
theory we've a new president over here
16:55
in theory stter maybe we'll see
16:59
yeah so uh so that's a thing yeah that was a very interesting
17:05
few days yeah tell me about it the one thing that I think the world is annoyed
17:11
about it went really fast and then stopped well it's complicated and I
17:18
don't know all the facts because I mean there's a lot lot of moving pieces to
17:22
this but I think a lot of that is to do
17:26
with um it's all the mailin ballots right so there's a big difference
17:32
between a walk-in ballot and a mail-in ballot in that a walk-in ballot has
17:36
already been verified and you just kind of count them a mailin ballot they've
17:39
got to open it they've got to match the signatures then they've got to move it
17:42
on to the next thing it's like there's a lot of [ __ ] I think was weird about like
17:46
a lot of States just finished and then there was like a few well that seemed to
17:51
take forever apparently that's because they were told those states that took
17:56
longer were told they weren't allowed to
18:58
far as I can tell I'm not an expert but I don't think that's true they send out
19:04
[ __ ] tons of registration forms you have to register for a mail ballot and look
19:11
ah I I could be wrong on this and if if there's some evidence to suggest I'm
19:15
wrong fine but as far as I know they did not send ballots to anybody who didn't
19:20
ask for them and but still at the end of the day if you don't want to vote you
19:24
just don't fill in the ballot exactly right well you just don't fill in the
19:27
registration form and then they won't send you one and if you if you asked for
19:31
one and you didn't get it well then say something cuz someone probably pinched
19:34
it and voted on your behalf like I mean maybe that happened
19:37
but I mean how how many cases are that are there going to be so the big thing
19:41
now is that Trump's saying that it's invalid and yeah that they cheated want
19:46
to recount and all that kind of stuff but I don't know that's going to make
19:48
much of a difference we'll see but that's kind of how he rolls he's more of
19:51
a he I guess he's so used to suing people for things that this is just
19:56
business as usual for him the courts as side
20:00
yeah so but if what yeah so been fun few days but yeah just weird how it went to like
20:07
264 and then just stopped I know and also the weirdest one was Nevada CU
20:11
there's not that many people there but then I somebody said that it's because
20:15
they um they had a judge uh ruling on each um ballot that
20:20
was kind of unclear like if there was a problem with the ballot that have a
20:23
judge have a look at it so that kind of [ __ ] can slow things down because
20:26
everyone was trying to be really careful this time I think which is I think why a
20:31
lot of people are upset that you know that people are saying that it was you know fraud or
20:37
whatever uh if people were trying to be really careful this time so anyway and
20:42
also [ __ ] pandemic on why are the 70 million does America care about that
20:47
anymore didn't want to die well things I think things will change a lot uh even
20:53
when Biden takes over so January 20 is the date that the new president starts
20:58
work so yeah um between now and then we'll see what happens and then if he
21:02
starts then I think probably things will change he said he was going to you you
21:07
guys are just hitting records now like it's just insane records RH Island we um
21:14
we're on new restrictions now we've got a curfew of 10 p.m. oh wow and uh you
21:20
got to be in your own home it say she was very specific 10 10: p.m. to uh I
21:27
think 5:30 a.m. or something like that you've got to be in your own house
21:30
because they think a number one reason Rhode Island got bad is cuz a number of
21:34
late night House Parties apparently I don't know who the [ __ ] doing that
21:38
really yeah I don't know they had protesters here in Rhode Island asking
21:42
for a recount and it was like in Rhode Island like really like you've been
21:47
Democrat forever B won by a lot here I don't I think I think you guys might be
21:52
wasting your time maybe head on down in Georgia maybe oh they're already doing a
21:57
recount there just go back to bed yeah uh yeah coron virus cases here are
22:02
up so we're uh lock down I mean I don't have to do anything differently I've
22:07
been social distancing and doing everything so you've even started to
22:12
build your own desk I have I'm not using it yet obviously it's in construction
22:16
under construction how's it going it's going
22:21
well well I got half I was I'm not I'm new to the whole building stuff right as
22:28
you know Candy Man exactly but I'm I'm I enjoy it it's fun uh I'm liking it um I
22:34
built the workbench that I built my desk on that was fun but about halfway through putting
22:40
the desk together which is going to sound stupid because I literally all I
22:43
did was was join bits of wood together it's not not that difficult but I had to
22:47
drill little pocket holes to like screw the to glue and then
22:51
screw the pieces together and halfway through I was like I could have just
22:54
bought a [ __ ] desk yep that's what I did cuz I am not uh handy person I'm not
22:59
someone who's going to go and build stuff unless it's a flat pack well see I
23:03
was thinking now I'm like no but this is going to look nice cuz I'm building it's
23:05
going to have like a rustic look I'm going to stain it it's going to look
23:07
really nice but then halfway through I I made a couple of mistakes that I think
23:11
are fine cuz I can always sand things and and there's a couple things are
23:15
[ __ ] up but I was like what if this doesn't look good and then what if this
23:21
looks like a child made it which is possible uh we'll see at the end of the
23:28
day you know who's going to see it you cuz you're allow to have anyone over so
23:34
fine yeah Gina is going to find me if I have anyone over so that's the governor
23:39
not not some random person okay and then and then I might uh I might bu get a a
23:46
standing sit standing converter uh frame for it I'm going to
23:50
use this Frame at first the one I've got here now yeah and I'm going to put
23:53
desktop on it but then I might get another one and um the reason I'm
23:55
building it too is because I wanted it to be a specific SI for the that I have here
24:02
and I figured you like it large exactly I like it I like a
24:08
deep well that's why I actually just went and brought a desk that's a lot
24:12
larger so I've got the three screens on here now but I also got a sit stand so
24:15
I've also got a charger built into it hey that's nice so I just put my phone
24:20
on the desk and it starts charging oh that's fancy I wonder if I can probably
24:24
too late I could probably rout a hole in mine and stick something in there but
24:30
well I don't know how this charger thing works cuz it's the thing that Clips onto
24:33
the bottom oh goes through the desk it goes through the desk but when I put my
24:38
phone directly onto it it didn't work it had to have the space between of the
24:44
desk for it to work which interesting I don't know it's magic see I've got a
24:48
wireless charger on my bedside table I actually I've got one here I just don't
24:53
use the one in here very much they're terrible for power and the environment
24:57
but I don't care I'm lazy [Laughter] oh don't tell me that are they really um
25:02
someone at work was telling me but I don't know I have to look into that now
25:07
I think it's more so because they I think they're always on and I suppose it
25:11
probably wastes a lot versus plugging it in you know what now that you've said
25:16
that I'm like ah I've ruined I've ruined wild I'm research even though I know
25:22
nothing about it I mean my power bill hasn't been much higher so how bad could
25:27
it be yeah exactly you think I'd be paying for it if there was a massive
25:30
power loss or you could be saving a
25:32
dollar a month oh man that would be a
25:38
dream we've got to follow up on something uh we dropped the ball last
25:42
week we we did and I realized this after we finished recording yes I was editing
25:47
and I was like wait a minute Luke never said whether Sean connory was geek of
25:52
the week or not so you've had a week to think about it now because you just
25:57
admitted that you thought about afterwards look I'm going to have to
26:01
give it to him all right on what ground on well that he Sean connory and I just
26:08
watched Highlander again and it's awesome yeah okay I'm with you on that
26:12
that is a great movie I agree Jenna didn't like it but uh I mean yeah to
26:19
grow up I guess you have to be there yeah but and I assumed he stopped
26:26
hitting women at some point so I watch because I was trying to get that clip
26:30
for for last week's episode to put it in there and I was on YouTube looking for
26:35
searching Conor slaps and there's a compilation on YouTube how many times he
26:42
slapped women it's it's James Bond or all the connory James Bonds every time
26:46
he hits women and it's it's a it's a lot it's a long video it's longer than it needs to
26:53
be he he's he is a menace so some of them body General You
26:59
could argue some of them are warranted some of them are warranted some of them
27:03
because there's a there's a spy who won't tell him you know the fact so he
27:08
starts slapping her around but then there's other times where he's just like shut
27:14
up oh man see that's why it made it so
27:18
hard to I mean but give it to him or not that's that's James Bond though that's
27:24
not Sean connory the problem is that yeah but remember con he yeah yeah oh
27:30
those are I actually uh improved those
27:35
scenes I can't what you talking about like you give her the last word but then
27:39
she keeps going so yep
27:44
really what a guy geek of the week sure connory
27:50
GE last all right so confirmed let me Mark
27:56
that off follow up we'll do the Luke follows up on a thing jingle as well yep
28:01
Luke follows on a thing thank you getting good at that
28:05
this year we've got uh a candidate for Geek of the week this week too since
28:10
we're on that top we do yeah I don't know that you're you're going to go with
28:14
this one Alex tbec host of Jeopardy uh has died um I mostly know
28:21
Alex tbec from the Saturday night Saturday Night Live sketches the the
28:25
Jeopardy ones where was he actually honored no no no no no no no uh and well
28:30
they were also with Shan connory who was not sha Conor and I'll take the rapist
28:35
for 400 yeah shock at tbec so that's how I know Alex tbec but he he was the host
28:40
of Jeopardy uh well-loved
28:44
and died of uh of cancer I believe at
28:48
the age of 80 and uh look what do you think I think I'm going to have to give
28:54
it to him all right yep it's a bit easier with this one I don't really
28:59
it seems like he was a nice guy yeah so I mean no skeletons in the
29:05
closet so far no we'll wait a couple more years for that to come
29:11
out yeah like Mr Rogers yeah who we have
29:16
confirmed was not a pedophile but the
29:20
trailer for it is just so
29:23
creepy uhhuh I still won't watch it but yeah I haven't seen but no I don't TC I
29:30
don't know it's Jeopardy has been a part of our lives forever yeah even in
29:35
Australia where we didn't have it no I think we had did we have an Australian
29:39
Jeopardy at some point I think I feel like we did we might I know it was on TV
29:43
at some point it could have just been the American one butth we didn't tend to
29:47
do that when I was a kid like we'd have our own versions of things because we
29:51
had our own Wheel of Fortune right wait did they even have Wheel of Fortune we
29:55
did no now I don't even know that yeah okay yes yeah so maybe we had our own no
30:01
I I think we did but even tbec we we heard of him we saw Clips so yeah and
30:07
also he'd every every now again he have nerdy questions on there yeah yeah stuff
30:12
about Nathan fillian and Star Wars so
30:16
yeah Nathan fillian and Star Wars in
30:19
case you wondering how Luke ranks things they had the two just jumped into
30:26
my head that I know that were on there yeah I'm sure there were other stuff
30:29
almost certainly all right so Alex TRC geek of the
30:35
[Music]
30:38
week rest in peace sorry I should have
30:42
done that who is Alex tbec geek of the week is the
30:48
answer yes or who is geek of the week Alex who's geek of the week you like
30:52
that one all right does that work I don't really know I didn't really watch it
30:59
this person is geeker a weake who is Alex trbe there you that's how it is
31:04
perfect
31:06
Y sound like fools we do but it's what people pay for
31:13
yeah um you played that you get what you pay for you played that Avengers game
31:16
didn't you a bit I did did you like it I
31:21
enjoyed the part where it was a a
31:24
game where it was like a yeah where it was a single player game and
31:30
then it got to the point where you now have to grind to get prettiest gear and
31:35
power and I stopped playing all right uh well I guess a lot of people stopped
31:40
playing or didn't start playing because it's apparently uh $63 million in the
31:45
whole at this point so not
31:49
good not good but also I'm I'm also hoping that they start to learn that
31:55
this is not what people want h like with these grindy games like
32:01
Destiny and stuff some of them are going to be good most of them aren't going to
32:04
get people going for and they need to stop well this is reminded me more of
32:08
like a mobile game uh than you know like those shitty mobile games where it's
32:14
like you it's not really even a game it's just like you watch a bunch of
32:17
stuff happen and then you spend money to make it happen differently yeah well
32:21
look I when I was playing and playing as like um M Marvel like it was actually an
32:27
interesting game watch watching her sort of sort of come into the character she
32:32
was and watching that and finding getting all the Avengers back together
32:35
it was actually fun but oh I know this has more of a game than I think some of
32:40
those other ones but yeah but no just
32:44
they need to stop trying to make a game that's going to continue to make the money for
32:50
years good luck with that and that's what they're trying yeah yeah they want
32:54
it to be a online service I want it to
32:57
be yeah GTA online or GTA online is a [ __ ] phenomenon though like that's
33:03
still just printing money for played it but did they even intend for this or was
33:09
that just an accident um I think they they planned for it okay all right cuz
33:14
they they didn't there was never ever going to be um like single player DLC or anything
33:20
it was uh this is it and then they double down on it with Red Dead online
33:26
for Red Dead 2 no single player DLC but I don't think that did as well oh yeah
33:31
yeah I haven't heard much about that everyone what like GTA online everybody
33:35
talks about still they still play it Red Dead online haven't anyone talking about
33:40
I think the reason for that is with Red Dead uh GTA online you can release new
33:44
cars and stuff but Red Dead like you can't really release that many horses
33:50
carriages yeah and like with like GTA you can go over the top with stuff like
33:55
jetpacks flying cars but you can't really do that West well you could that'd be fun you
34:01
could but but yeah I games is a service that's here a stay unfortunately but I
34:07
don't like it stop it yeah uh so I'm surprised and and pleas I'm pleasantly
34:12
surprised that they didn't do that with um squadrons oh I think EA were worried
34:19
about doing that because of the backlash they got for Battle Front Battlefront
34:24
yeah yeah cuz uh so they went oh there you go that's a game up my new Xbox I'll
34:29
I'll re it and cuz squadrons it's I it's
34:33
not a $100 game yeah it's a $60 game and it was good yeah I enjoyed it I I mean I
34:39
didn't not enjoy it I just yeah couldn't play it couldn't play it I mean I could
34:43
play it but it sounded oh God was I tried I I really did
34:48
try I just love the whole thing that it's like you're in the cockpit like
34:53
that's how you play the game it's not third person it's
34:58
yeah so I really recommend like playing it like full immersive well I will when
35:04
I can y when this tomorrow yeah not on this Xbox when it arrives in a few hours
35:10
no no it's uh over 24 hours for me it's not going to be here until late
35:16
tomorrow you know you never know it might get there early I can't do
35:21
anything with it anyway it's going to be tomorrow night at the
35:25
earliest I'm just going to get a re refresh just in case that has
35:30
moved and here it is it
35:34
is still in Sydney has moved I'm sure mine's still
35:40
in New Jersey it might move up to to Providence today but they're not going
35:44
to deliver it I bet it's probably got one of those things where it's like
35:47
don't deliver it till X day I think they you can do that right well in Australia
35:51
um some of the ones that were sent out by Big W they actually arrived on Friday what
35:57
for some people and saying I should have ordered else yes but Microsoft went like
36:04
you got it early play it like like they were going to be able to stuff for you
36:09
like what are they going to do no put it back in the box if you turn this on
36:13
we're going to disable it you'll never be able to play we're going to break it
36:17
yeah so when Assassin's Creed origin comes out to not origin Valhalla comes
36:21
out tomorrow valala comes out tomorrow and it's it's properly Xbox series X
36:28
enhanced because one of the things I don't know so uh we've been talking
36:32
about cyberp punk I don't think we talked about this uh and listener Nate
36:35
wrote in with this information cyberpunk
36:39
at launch is on Xbox series X is not going to be that different the the Next
36:46
Generation update doesn't come out till next
36:49
year I was actually looking at valala
36:53
like on the launch video Yeah didn't look that great great to be honest so
36:59
well this is my thing right so I could in theory play cyber Punk on this Xbox
37:03
if it'll [ __ ] work oh I wouldn't play it on that Xbox if that kind of were on Star
37:09
Wars like that's that's a 7-year-old
37:13
Xbox that's let it die yeah
37:19
Fair yeah but you could play it on a
37:22
newer Xbox one uh I the only the newer
37:27
new the newest one we have is Jenner and it's not that new it's still that model
37:32
like it's not one of still the it's it's still the 500 Meg it's not the terabyte
37:37
it's the terabyte one oh it's a terabyte so it is the next one up oh is it so
37:41
there's actually a difference yeah the the launch model was uh 500 gab yeah
37:47
yeah yeah but is there a difference other than the hard
37:49
drive I think they might there would have been some improvements not
37:54
necessarily a lot but there's always a few improvements on speed and stuff all
37:59
right so maybe maybe also this I mean there could be well there definitely is
38:04
something wrong with mine so we'll uh but yeah try that yeah I'd just I don't
38:09
know if I was you I'd just play on the series X that you got to have yeah I
38:13
know I will will probably just throw away that one that's sitting next to you
38:17
right now throw it away I'll donate to some what are you going to do with it
38:21
give it to somebody oh yeah someone I don't like just go yeah it won't work
38:26
for anything you want to play but here you go best of luck with it yeah so
38:30
there's no um there's no nextg update for cyberp Punk until next year and I wondered about
38:37
Valhalla yeah I don't know I was looking at I've got it doesn't look the greatest
38:43
and honestly it was looking like do you remember rise yes that Roman game that
38:49
game is still probably one of the best looking games yeah right on the Xbox one
38:54
and it even that looks better than for Creed Odyssey looks
38:59
good like I mean but um I mean it's probably about as good as this Xbox
39:04
could make something look yeah but so I wonder what that's going to look
39:09
like uh I guess I guess you'll find out soon but the other thing is I've not
39:15
played any of these games in 4k because I have not this thing can't
39:19
do 4K this thing can only do 1080p Max well here's the thing I'm actually
39:24
looking at I'm actually too concerned about graphics
39:28
yeah that's fair like I'm looking at the speed that they'll go but I'm also
39:33
looking at just how they can do a lot more even though
39:37
it may not look a million times better but just having more in the world yeah fair
39:43
enough so more complex stuff going on yeah more
39:49
bugs more bugs probably yeah yeah I don't ask for
39:54
a lot
39:58
just give me a free Xbox yeah free [ __ ] Xbox trophy a hoodie and you got
40:05
two other Xboxes coming so listeners if you you weren't able to get an Xbox you
40:10
know where they all went they go in to [ __ ] Luke's house I actually spoke about this on
40:15
save file as well I don't know if I've actually paid for an Xbox either oh all
40:19
right I've definitely paid for mine so what happened was I got charged for it
40:23
last month M when they accidentally there was a system and I got charged early
40:29
yeah I then got charged for it again a couple of days ago
40:34
M and I'm gone well that's not right but then I've had a look I don't have either
40:40
charge on my account anymore oh all right so maybe they be like
40:45
sorry yeah but it's been shipped yeah but I don't I can't see that I've paid for
40:52
it well I mean so might be getting two free xbo say anything
40:59
that's like uh [ __ ] Amazon I I was deba I don't think I've
41:04
talked about this yet I've been getting my groceries from Whole Foods via the
41:07
Amazon app because I we have Prime in that so it's like free delivery and Y uh
41:12
I haven't found the prices to be that different um cuz we buy a lot of
41:17
vegetarian stuff so I think that's more expensive in general being a vegetarian
41:21
that's normally something you would do yeah it's more expensive um so we've
41:26
been getting a whole Whole Foods delivered but not only is it seemingly
41:30
the price similar I have had a number of
41:34
orders refunded due to fairly minor mistakes right I didn't ask for them to
41:40
refund it they just keep refunding them for things and and so I've the honestly
41:46
I think three times really yeah like the full order or just yeah they left a bag
41:52
of nectarines off the order and because they couldn't figure out what happened
41:56
to it they just refunded the whole thing cuz I think Amazon is such a big machine
42:03
that I guess that's just the easiest way to do it so just do that entire thing
42:08
and they lost a bag that just had some nectarines in it refund there was one
42:13
time I ordered and it was supposed to come uh fairly late in the evening just
42:18
cuz that was the slot they had available the driver never showed up they had to
42:21
bring it the next morning for free they refunded it and they brought it for free
42:25
and I was like all right right then I'm not going to complain and then I can't
42:30
remember what the other one was but
42:33
yeah just so okay yeah so I'm just going to keep ordering from Whole Foods and
42:39
hopefully uh more often than not I won't have to pay for it yeah if well even if
42:46
one out of 10 orders they just refund it's still pretty awesome they I mean
42:51
Amazon in general is pretty good I found with that kind of stuff they you know
42:54
they'll refund things or take them back but I was just I just didn't expect that
42:59
like especially when you're not asking for it or anything right all I said was
43:04
uh nectarin aren't here no no she well she dropped them off and then she cuz
43:08
they can't come they can't you know it's contactless because of Co so she called
43:12
me from outside and said there's a bag missing I'm going to go find out what
43:16
happened and then I got a refund I didn't ask for
43:22
one a bag of Nectars like he just I know $4 like where Australian like oh that's
43:28
all right you'll fix me up next time yeah exactly nope refund um and then
43:35
yeah the guy coming late I was like [ __ ] that's all right I'll just go to bed and
43:38
like if it's here in the morning it doesn't make that much of a difference
43:41
and then they were like sorry for the inconvenience no
43:44
charge okay I figet fig what the other one
43:49
was but well it's working because you keep going back to them F I will keep going back to
43:56
him I can't imagine trying to get that from any other place like No in fact if I
44:02
went to the store and I left the bag of nectarin or something there I'd be like
44:08
[ __ ] write those off going all the way back to the store just to get
44:12
them so Whole Foods listeners I recommend you give it a shot the
44:17
delivery it's free Whole Foods and Amazon Prime yeah you just got tip the
44:23
driver make sure you tip the drivers they're a good service let them know
44:27

44:45
well free delivery on all your orders if you if you with prime that's the other
44:49
thing it's free that H isn't that close to my house Luke like I was surprised

that they were willing to do it at all the first time now I'm used to it but
45:00
it's it's not that close to house they you're expecting it I'm surprised I'm

45:32
up saying hey we're from the new those xwing rocking up and going hey we're
45:37
from the new Republic that was just so awesome it made me remember what I used
45:40
to love about Star Wars yeah yeah solid show man is a good episode this one I
45:47
mean this one in my opinion wasn't as good as the first one the first one was
45:50
[ __ ] awesome this one was good uh and solid the first one like
45:57
made me want to go watch Tremors yeah so cool with that I don't
46:04
know I I'm just so happy that the season is still as strong as the first
46:10
oneit worried when it's so like Star
46:15
Wars and weird but it's so creepy and wrong like that's the humor in the
46:19
episode it's eating the alien's children so funny and even the little
46:25
sneaky one at the very end yeah I know I know it was like I I I was like I wonder
46:31
if Disney were like I don't know cuz it was a little I thought it was funny but
46:38
it was a little funny but then but you actually think about what he's
46:43
doing but just that whole that [ __ ] frog thing like a such good quality
46:49
weird Star Wars so good mhm and those uh Spider things were designed by Ralph

50:29
yeah just tell me what I meant to think like don't you the way he plays with
50:35
time in all of those movies no not really and this one isn't tenant meant
50:40
to be about time or something yeah I I'm intentionally not looking that up but
50:45
yes it's a paland Drome tenant so yeah it's I think it's about time going
50:49
forwards and backwards in some way but I don't know exactly what I'm just going
50:55
to wait see so just I have a I have a feeling that it's going to end on our
50:59
it's going to end the where started probably I'm that's going to be the the
51:04
the end is going to be in the middle or something weird yeah we'll uh I'll
51:09
report back on December 16th after I watch it yep after you watch it let me
51:15
know let me know if I'm right I will I'm normally right know that happens a lot I
51:21
know something I won't be watching anymore is Castle Rock cuz it's been
51:25
canceled what's Castle Rock Castle Rock is a very good show on I think it's on
51:31
Hulu in my case um it's like
51:36
a a a show that's based in the world of
51:40
Stephen King so like it kind of it set
51:44
up so that all of Stephen King's stories took place in the world that this is set
51:49
in and it's about some of the people sometimes from those stories like season
51:53
2 was about what's he the girl from um misery I forget her name oh it's got
51:59
Lizzy Kaplan in it I like her yeah mate she's [ __ ] fantastic in season two
52:04
yeah yeah yeah it's really it's it's yeah I'm annoyed it was really
52:09
good season one was good and season two was good they they were different like
52:15
not it's more like an anthology thing season one and season
52:19
two well I mean they were related but they're not like yeah it's sort of like those
52:25
things like they they this but sort of different characters and people exactly
52:30
right yes with some crossover you yeah
52:35
yeah same world which that works for me yeah I might see if I can work out how
52:39
to watch it in Australia then but that's good that's why they canceled it exactly
52:43
yeah I'm surprised I don't know I don't know why did they they say why in here
52:49
no PL I can watch on binge oh yeah all right you've got binge binge is such a
52:54
horrible I do have binge it really is and it's the worst app ever I'm watching
52:59
Storage Wars on there at the moment
53:02
yeah and every time an episode ends it
53:08
crashes so I it's really hard to binge if it just crashes every
53:13
time that's that sucks God I love storage walls it's
53:20
terrible I haven't watched Storage Wars in a while we've been watching The Great
53:23
British baking show uh which is airing so nice in that show aren't they such a
53:28
good show and also they've got cuz um it's null fielding and Matt Blas are now
53:32
the two kind of Comedy hosts you know that Lucas from um Little
53:38
Britain the that CFE Little Britain but oh okay but he's he's funny in this in a
53:44
more mainstream way you might Wholesome Way yeah exactly right yeah yeah that's
53:50
what I don't the great it's just cuz it is so wholesome and nice and fun there's
53:55
no swear or you [ __ ] this up or it's so good yeah I know even when they're mean
54:01
they're kind of like mean in a nice way yeah like you really tried here we could
54:06
see what you were doing but unfortunately yeah even when when
54:11
holidays being like critical he's like not good is it h oh well you did your
54:17
best yeah and I think that's why people
54:21
like it cuz it is just so nice no I I really enjoy it I hate baking but I
54:27
really like it uh I don't hate baking I just it's a lot of effort baking you
54:33

59:14
unfortunately for the next year there's no hugs from me wow it's your new covid
59:18
restrictions on the on the patreon yeah no hugs for one year damn
59:25
for one year even if I mean if the pandemic is ongoing in a year you'll
59:29
just have to suck it up I guess yeah do you think they're going to do packs next
59:34
year um in Australia yes yeah I wonder if in America who knows CU I went we
59:40
were at the the Boston one which was you know when this whole thing started and I
59:44
wonder if that's going to be the last one for a long time which is a shame I
59:49
yeah I don't know what's going to happen over there in Australia I think we might
59:53
be okay we might by by OCT November next year I think we might be able to have
59:58
packs again really cuz packs is pretty extreme as far like everyone gets sick
1:00:03
of packs anyway yes the the good old PX pox yeah it's like a super spreader
1:00:09
event at the best of times so but I don't know um we're we're very close to
1:00:14
having like zero people infected at the moment okay
1:00:20
and um travel bubble yeah that that's the
1:00:25
thing allow no I know yeah and we're going to do the
1:00:30
travel bubble which means that Us and other countries that have been good we
1:00:37
we be able to travel again well hopefully things will change and then
1:00:41
there's America well yeah yeah well not just us the UK as well most Europe UK's
1:00:47
gone into second lockdown now yeah but yeah I think us New Zealand
1:00:53
South Korea and Japan all right that's where I'm going to go spend my
1:00:58
birthday in Japan hugging Donald No hugs
1:01:03
duck I can make an exception for Donald Duck yeah I don't think the Corona virus infects
1:01:09
Ducks I also don't think Donald Duck supports Pat flu or
1:01:15
something yeah there's nothing to worry about with that anymore I think who
1:01:18
thinks about that I think we solve flu Aven flu it's all
1:01:24
