welcome to multiple nerdgasm with your hosts Luke I accidentally got soap in Dan's urethra Dan it was a bit Arty so I doubt Matt would understand it and Matt is that the Luke penis multiple nerdgasm your guide to All Things nerdy I have a question for you proceed all right you have there's a gun to your head oh yeah you're going to kill you if you don't make a decision okay you either have to have your hands cut off or your penis what do you go my

hands or my penis yep H is there any hope for surgery later no where am I they cut it off that badly that it's just completely and nothing can be reattached uh oh man I'm going to go with my penis I would actually go my penis as well I know it seems weird but no I know I do a lot more things with my hands than I do with my penis yeah generally speaking I mean I could change that I suppose if I didn't have hands maybe I could just start using my penis for things that I used to use my hands for but I think society would frown on me and I would be shunned and I would never eat a sandwich that

you made what's wrong with it what's wrong with the sandwich Luke and then I and I push it closer to you with my penis dig in yeah I I have no idea why but that just question popped into my head today and I I thought about it for about an hour did somebody hold a gun to your head and ask you a question Luke no there was there was no gun involved I just had to you just didn't want your penis anymore I wouldn't say that that's a good question I think it is I think a lot of people instantly go well I want I keep my penis but then when you start to think about it a bit more yeah your hairs are a lot more useful I feel like yeah the the penis is the I'm a man and I've got to keep my penis when you know I think uh

practically you need those hands buddy yeah even thumbs would you rather lose your thumbs or your penis um can't play an Xbox without thumbs well you could but yeah I'm just holding a controller now just to seeing if I can do it and you can play with your I'm still even the way I'm holding up still using my thumbs to hold it in place yep yep it's what separates us from the beasts they've got penises they don't have thumbs they probably choose to keep their penis and go down swinging where we' have just accepted Our Fate so um will I be receiving medical attention at any point oh yeah you you will live all right cuz I mean either way I could bleed out and die yeah no no you will

live like it's not this isn't going to kill you it's just so you it just gets something gets cut off and then you have to live with that the rest of your life which will be however long you actually going to live for anyway all right that seems reasonable it's a sad little meow from Atlas what's wrong with Atlas well I fed him and he ate it too fast and then he threw up and so now he has to wait until he can have some more food how long does he have to wait well until I make sure till it's you know he settles down and he's not going to vomit him otherwise it's just an endless cycle you know see I I would just make it that he he's missed his chance you got to wait for dinner now yeah see I could do that but then I'm going to have to

listen to him meow at me like all day yeah yeah like kind of like you know that time you ate food too fast and vomited everywhere and you wanted more food and I was like no Luke not until you calm down and you just kind of yelled at me a lot it's something I do well speaking of vomiting the did you ride a bike no actually I don't I didn't think so well one of the funniest things I saw in uh in Paris when I was in Paris was a bike uh well the remains of a bike chained to when were you in Paris 7 years ago oh okay I just it's just s like you were talking like it was last week or something no no no no no I like to give that impression

but no it was a long time ago but people you know people like to chain their bikes up uh to try avoid them being stolen I guess uh and in this case it didn't work cuz all all that was left was like a piece of the frame that had been Chained and they literally just removed everything else off the bike and uh yeah I guess to construct a new bike from the parts that made me laugh but bike locks uh I guess it's a technology that's not uh not Advanced too much in in recent years they're pretty basic from what I understand y it's a they're more of a deterrent than anything else aren't they they are um but apparently one of the problems is that you can just kind of cut them off if You' got the right tools yeah although I kind imagine that's like particularly

inconspicuous right like no cuz well it wouldn't be but I know it happens in cber all the time really like people cut yeah huh what do they use to cut through the the lock if I may ask if you know I have no idea okay cuz you can get like uh I think you can get cordless uh Grinders or I fig what you what do you call those things I've always called them a grinder but I don't know if that's what they call an angle grinder isn't it yeah okay that's what I thought yeah you could use one of those right well not anymore thanks to Kickstarter because formula D1 which is a weird name uh is a new vomit inducing gas uh that they've put inside this new device called the skunk lock and basically what happens is when

the thieves if you're a thief and you come along you try and cut the the the lock off it'll spray this [ __ ] in your face uh and apparently at um it just causes you to vomit um so your bike will be safe but covered in vomit although or your bike will just be gone and there'll be a pool of vomit yeah you know what I just thought of that like I mean you will stop vomiting at some point I assume and then you can just ride off on the bike and then yeah so so yeah there you go you'll come back to to a a lock covered in vomit where your bike used to be yep yeah cuz I could say like if they're committing to stealing the bike throwing up are going to stop them doing that yeah at uh apparently at 2 feet the uh the smell or the the spray is so bad that it induces vomiting in

99% of people so how much is it going to be uh the lock you know what I don't know uh I'm actually trying to find on it's actually on Indiegogo not Kickstarter inogo that's why I couldn't find it yeah uh 100 bucks okay that's which I mean it's not bad I don't know well I know bikes are quite expensive so oh yeah it's actually got an animated gift of someone using a angle grinder to cut off a bike lock so we were correct in our assumption but yeah I don't know I don't know how how much I mean yeah it's going to make the guy vomit but or girl guy probably we're Shifty yeah yeah it says here that they haven't tested it on actual thieves but they tested it on themselves well the thing I'm sort of looking at like so it's it says skunk

lock on it so people who ride bikes they going know exactly what it is but the common thief's just going to go that's a lock I'm going to take it right and then they'll cut it off and they'll go oh Jesus I'm vomiting oh well I better ride away from the smell with on this bike I just stole yeah I like this too uh at ft at 2T it's it's vomiting juicing at 5T it's very noticeable and the initial reaction is to move away from it like is that an involuntary action I don't think so it's just it smells bad I could say if I don't know how much a normal bike lock costs I have no idea I could see maybe if the normal bike lock was 80 I could maybe see spending an extra 20 to get this one sure 80 bucks man if they're just cutting them off willy-nilly I

wouldn't want to pay $80 for one cuz you've got to buy a new bike as well I'm just not going to get a bike cuz how much is a bike I know a guy who rides in his bikes cost like three and a half $4,000 wow how how fast is it s that's a weird question it's fast as he pedals what what is the difference between that bike and one that cost a couple hundred bucks I think it's uh the first thing off the bat would be weight so it is so it can go faster well yeah well no it still goes on how fast you pedal yeah but he but like once you're riding it on a couple ones that are a couple hundred dolls are um they're like stainless steel huh so they weigh a ton and then you get like the carbon fiber things which weigh nothing so so it's easier to to Pedal you can carry it

upstairs and lock it in your house so you don't need a lock oh okay too sh your front door saves you 80 bucks or 100 bucks in this case and and some vomit to clean up off the ground there you go yeah well apparently um uh in San Francisco uh it's a big issue people stealing bikes cuz they were a big biking Community around there uh I guess cuz it's a city and it's a busy and and actually yeah we rode bikes around San Francisco when we were there did you hold hands uh hm did we uh while we were riding the bikes yeah yeah I think we probably did was uh Dan Dave and Paul and I yeah I'm almost certain we did yeah yep I could just see that was of just holding hands just riding down the hill

into the sunset yeah after we' angle grinded the locks off the bikes we were running it's a good thing it was before these new throw up locks came out yeah well we were drunk and throwing up anyway wouldn't have mattered ah yep yeah well I guess it just goes to show there's some jerks out there and speaking of jerks did you see did you read this article about I did James Woods so James Woods I'm G let you go through the story but there's something I'm going to question and call [ __ ] on at the end all right all right uh James Woods he he's a Rhode Island local and apparently um I didn't know that yeah apparently uh people bump into him here all the time like I haven't seen him yet haven't been here long enough but um a lot of people

that that I know here have encountered him over the years cuz he just he just lives here so yeah does about his daily life yeah it's a small state and uh and he hangs out a lot of places where other people are uh but he uh he a few years ago uh well sorry 2015 uh so one year ago he sued a Twitter user for $10 million because uh somebody on Twitter called him a cocaine addict so he he hired a lawyer and he he sued them there was a an appeal from the lawyer of the person on Twitter uh and it was dropped recently because the defendant died so uh yeah that could sort of put a stop to proceedings actually know it it can't

he can still go for it I think well Su his estate yeah well no he he I think he is right James Woods is still suing the guy's appeal has been dropped because he died so I guess the original court case is still you know still going it's a it's a slap motion I guess I'm not sure what that means it's like uh like you know to say that he's not allowed to say things about I don't know if James Woods gets money though slap okay yeah a strategic lawsuit against public participation is a lawsuit that is intended to censor intimidate and silence critics by burning them with the cost of a legal defense until they abandon their criticism or opposition all right well I guess guy is not going

to be saying things about James Woods anymore was he saying it a lot to begin with I don't know it doesn't really say however James Woods tweeted uh recently in response to to the fact that the case had been dropped he said the Slime who libeled me just dropped his appeal contesting my Victorious slap motion perennial loser and then the Twitter handle Lisa Bloom isn't yapping so much now that's uh the Twitter user is the the guy's lawyer oh okay right didn't explain that the guy had died and then it's my favorite bit somebody tweeted at him and said he's dead you [ __ ] geriatric [ __ ] to which James Woods replied screaming my name I hope learn this liel me I'll sue you if you die I'll follow you to the bowels of Hell get

it which is an amazing response yeah yeah don't [ __ ] with James Woods no but he's a part where I'm going to call [ __ ] okay what would you say he would be best known for James Woods yep John Carpenters vampires that video drone there are many things in this article he says he is perhaps best known for winning the role model award at the 2,000 young Hollywoods Awards I don't even know what that is no but I don't know I think they've gone for that because of making fun of like role model award but yeah he's not best known for that no I think that's probably just a subtle subtle [ __ ] it's not subtle at all I think that's

just a yeah a little dig at his uh behavior that is funny yeah yeah I know he's definitely famous for a bunch of other stuff yeah uh Family Guy for example he's on that every now and again does he do the voice of himself on Family Guy or is it someone making fun of him I've never EST I never looked into it I'm pretty sure it's him I will find out all right they do tend to get get people to voice their own characters a lot of the time yeah um just give me a moment Talk Amongst yourselves who is James Woods on Family Guy oh it just says who he is James Woods Family Guy voice yep Family Guy he voices himself there you go well I guess he does have a sense of humor sometimes I mean maybe this is all like a misunderstanding I just get the feeling

that the guy didn't maybe say it once it could be CU it just seemes like a lot of effort for someone to say someone Twitter said something once and he goes after him yeah like I don't know if it was the same level of harassment as people have been receiving on Twitter other people uh maybe this guy was just just harassing him about it stop snorting coke every day if you want to snort coke go for it hear that James Woods snort away buddy oh wait no no he's not a cocaine addict that's the whole point doesn't mean he doesn't snort C that's true maybe he's just upset that he's called an addict he can stop anytime he wants that's your Mantra isn't it yep how's your gin no I've just accepted the fact I'm an addict how's the Gin today it's quite nice actually

I've got a coffee not jealous of that at all we're not um we're not opposites anymore there was a period of time where we were just opposite times like it was uh like for example it's 8:00 a.m. now it would be 8:00 p.m. for you that was like that for a while but uh what what time is it there now um it's nearly 11:00 at night oh wow I'm sorry about that that's okay it's not that late that means we're both a bit sleepy so it's good [Music] yeah you like Chloe morrettes don't you I do mhm MH I thought so not as much as the guy that Dan saw on the uh on the plane but um no with that Chloe meritz Marathon I I haven't done a marathon I'll watch the occasional movie Well I this might interest you because I know

you like her and you also like Rooster Teeth mhm the um the internet video uh Peddlers and sorry that's the best description I can come up with on the spot uh they can use that if they want internet video Peddlers um well apparently they're teaming up to uh to do yeah I've seen one of the videos so far just a bit of a tease of what coming out oh okay I didn't um I didn't watch the video but they're doing a series it's basically about um women in the video game industry isn't it yeah which I didn't know there was a problem with with it yeah I know it's one of those things apparently we're not aware of them because there isn't a problem for us um but apparently second I lose my penis that's right she's out there helping that and makes it a bit easier

if people are having problem being Gamers which yeah I don't understand how CU you just play games is it Gamers or is it people in the industry oh no it's just game yeah gamers in general yeah yeah it's cuz she just went online with she was the video I saw was her just playing rocket league with the guys from Achievement Hunter right okay well that does change things about actually I didn't realized that it was that there were kind of a stigma around women just playing games in general anymore because there's a [ __ ] shitload of girls who play video games now I think there is still I think one thing that happens is the second and girl plays a game and she get bombarded with messages and things like that yeah okay that's true how is this going to prevent that though or is

this going to encourage more girls to play and then people eventually just get over it I I'm sure it'll pan out in the end but I hope people will get over it soon if people want to play games let them you don't you don't harass women on the internet no no why not I sort of skipped that phase huh yeah I tend to just not abuse anyone interesting interesting how's that working out for you I'm great I don't get anything abused back wow must be wonderful in luk world I tend not to play games online because uh I'm not very good at them and I generally just get harassed that that is oh vouch for that you are terrible yeah well that's the thing right I don't know I I think people kids playing video

games will latch on to whatever it is that you're sensitive about and [ __ ] have at you I think that's probably the source of the problem you know even though you are terrible at caves I still like playing with you and I don't care if we win or lose oh yeah L you're adorable but yes uh I'm happy to play with you and um I just don't want to play with kids on the internet when they start making fun of us exactly because we're women all right well here's a game you should play uh was a Kickstarter project it was a successful Kickstarter got made into a game uh and it's great and it's called sunless Seas if you heard of it sunless Seas no all right it is it might not be quite right for you because you

have to read a lot and I know you're not super into reading no stopped that a while ago yeah you you don't play video games to read got up to LMN and just went this is [ __ ] it's not a Star Wars novel or a Halo novel no I know you do read I know you do or you you're used to at least or have you actually stopped I can read I know you can CU you you often read things that are in the spreadsheet every week but you do enjoy reading it some sometimes yes so sunless Seas is kind of like uh it's hard to describe it's a game the story line is that uh London was stolen by bats and taken underground and now exists uh on a vast underground ocean um

and you are the captain of a steamboat and I'm moving to Australia who why would I hang around London it's underwater it was not underwater it's uh it's on the water in a on a sea that's underground and apparently you can go up to the surface I haven't done that yet actually that's one of the things I need to do uh in the game but you start out in London and it's kind of like a Choose Your Own Adventure in a way um and you can do certain things uh in in the city while you're there uh and there are a bunch of I guess different options for things you can do like you can um you can rest at your uh home you can go and visit the uh admiralty and give them like reports for like other cities that you've traveled

to uh and once you've exhausted all your options in the city you then you sell your boat around uh well you don't really sell it CU it's a steamboat [ __ ] me you Steamboat your boat around and travel to different ports uh and explore and every time you you land somewhere you get a different series of stories for that place uh and there are certain requirements like for example um if you've collected a certain number of stories you collect stories and you collect uh like uh artifacts and what do you mean by collect stories yeah okay like I said it's difficult to explain this game I don't know what it's it's interesting like so if you land in a port right and then you say explore you'll there are kind of Random Encounters that will occur and you'll

meet say an old man and he'll tell you a story and then you then have in your inventory a story kind of thing oh okay so it's kind of like that and it's it's like it's quirky and a bit weird with things like that like you collect stories you collect artifacts you collect memories of um of foreign Shores for example like is an inventory item memory of of a foreign Shore I think is what it's called um and then those things are requirements for other uh missions and encounters later so you can land on on an island and there'll be some guy there and he's like oh if you can tell me about the great island of goooo you know I'll I'll share another story with you and so you kind of trade them it's interesting and fun it's uh like at first when I started first

started playing it I was like a this is a bit weird uh and I didn't quite understand but then as the more you play it the kind of I guess uh oddness of it grows on you and and you kind of you learn you learn how it works like it's just a bit um I don't know it's it's really good it's well written uh and and when you when you're piloting your boat around you encounter B enemies you can shoot you can upgrade your engines and your weapons to to move around and you will die very often and when when you die the next character you play is is uh associated with the previous character in some way like it's either the the child or the somebody who was on the ship with you kind of thing you can choose one of those options and then you pass down things to the next Captain but

you have to choose one so for example so you don't get everything that you've got but you get bits and pieces like cuz you you the cuz the map is sort of randomized every time unless you pass your chart down to your to the next person in which case all the islands stay in the same spot otherwise they might shift a bit um because okay because the whole map is black at first you have to explore unless you pass your chart down to the next person in which case it's still revealed but if you do that that means you can't pass down money or you can't pass down you have different abilities like um Iron is for battle like pages is for like intelligence like it's like I said you got to get used to the terms in it but um once you do it's it's really fun

anyway it's a really good game uh it's want to play it yeah it's pretty cheap I think it might actually be on sale right now I'm not sure if that'll still apply not oh okay was it like 16 bucks or something 19 moment okay yeah no I I'd say it's worth it it's on my wish list like I said I just uh I got it a while ago and I hadn't played it and then uh I mean like a week ago I was like oh let's have a look at this and I've now played 16 hours which is quite a lot for me that is a hell of a lot for you yeah but it's because I can just kind of jump in and play for you know like half an hour here and there uh and so and also I don't have a job right now because I'm not allowed to work so because of my Visa so I do have some spare time right now my computer's not up for gaming at

the moment this does not require a fast computer I've been playing it on my my laptop which is just a um I bought the you've seen it the the MacBook the small one that thing that weighs nothing yeah yeah the 12in MacBook [ __ ] I love this computer by the way like I was I was a bit worried at first that it wouldn't wouldn't be powerful enough or I would want a bigger screen or anything and no it's great it's perfect for now and then when I once I'm all sorted out here maybe I'll get a PC or something if I want to play games but probably not I was planning to buy a PC next week actually at PX oh that's right you've talked about that before but then I ran out of money oh I spent too much in America oh okay well sorry about that it's okay it was worth it maybe you can

win one I can try or you could use your podcast powers to try and get a freebie from somewhere I'm not using the powers for evil it's not for evil you could then you could review it it's a computer it downloaded my porn pretty good yeah see I always think that too I'm like a I don't want to ask for stuff cuz it's dodgy that's how this thing that's how this works yeah but I just feel we don't ask for things no I know I'm the same there's probably way more things we could get away with with but we don't like I see all these people that are online that get all these free games on the Xbox to play and I'm sort of like my gamer scores bigger than yours I play more I should be getting free games yeah that is true my spin-off podcast your gamer score is is very high

what's your spin-off podcast going to be about me playing games so it's just the the pretty much just the audio playing games I'm not going to I I think I'm going to have a spin-off one where I just talk about a game I purchased that week and do a quick review on it are you really going to do that I think I will I've been toying around with it for a couple of weeks now and I'm starting to think I will so you're announcing this now on the show I'm announcing it now I need a name though I can't think of a name all right listeners what should Luke call his new podcast I will get them to suggest WR in podcast multipl nerdgasm tocom or go to multip nerdgasm comment and let us know what Luke should call his new podcast will you have

guests can Dan and I be on it and then it'll just be the same well I'm thinking it's just going to be me doing reviews and then I'll have guests on the talk every now and again okay all right cool do it but we'll see what happens when I start doing it I'll probably start when I get back from packs though all right do a few Test shows just for yourself maybe and then see what you think oh I've already run through one in my head cuz I this horrible game the other day all right and I wanted to review and put it out there to stop people from buying it all right well no spoilers we'll we'll wait for that to to come out but what I'm thinking about is like because I normally buy games as they come out yeah I know a lot of the Indie

Games come out as well so I could buy it and do put a review up within a couple of days yeah I know you buy like literally every game mhm like I already brought the new Batman well not the new Batman but the oh the uh The Telltale one no I've got that as well oh return to Arkham you mean return to Arkham I've finished that really yep you played through both of them both of them I haven't gone through and got all the achievements or anything but I've finished the story of both of them that only came out the other day yeah all right I was I had three days off work last week cuz I was sick and so I played Batman and watched documentaries what documentaries did you watch um king of Kong oh cool that's a great one and the other one after that uh the one about nibler nibler from future

armor no no no there was another game there was the first person who ever score a billion points on nibler oh okay the first person to score a billion points so it's a lot of people that were in King of Kong are actually in that as well cuz it's about Twin Galaxies and that's where it was set and yeah right about this guy finding out that he doesn't actually have the high score in it as he thought he had the years him going back and getting the high score again oh all right that sounds interesting I'll check that out no definitely definitely give that one a look it was it was great because I watched that that's when I went back to King of Kong you're right yeah I love king of Kong [ __ ] ridiculous movie or documentary so how this high score has

been set in just in June oh really I didn't know that yep it's 1.2 million now it's the highest score in Donkey Kong I learned apparently M&M is very good at Donkey Kong or Donkey Kong junr maybe yeah um he got into it after watching King of Kong yeah it's funny and he just realized he was really good at it funny all right but how is returned to Arkham so uh it's finally out and we're going to encourage Dan to play it obviously and I'm I want to get it going to love it I want to get it the same game but I know I know but I've got to I've got to be really careful cuz I until uh everything's sorted out I basically can't buy any games right now oh definitely it is cuz I've played through Arkham Asylum three times now wow okay I've played through it once

play on 360 PC and and now this on Xbox one now and it just it gets better every time really yep okay it was a great game I played through it once and and yeah it was it was awesome but yeah wow no it just get better I want to go back and actually get all of the now how you can find the tape so they've got recording yeah the the interviews I want to go and find all of them oh my God not all the secrets I just want the recordings were great yeah okay yeah that makes sense and it actually made me want to go back and play the third game again but then I wouldn't get achievement so I went no thir game is great what uh so does it visually now the the upgrades does it look like the third game kind of thing is that what

we're talking about like visually or is it better yeah pretty much I I think it doesn't look quite as good as the third one oh okay oh I mean still the third one looked really it's still in my head it's still it looks exactly the same as it did on the 360 but you know how you remember things a lot differently yeah yeah sure yeah cool all right well maybe talk about it a bit more when Dan's back because we want to encourage him to play it oh yeah he definitely needs to get it yeah I oh yeah he could have could just play the 3601 If he if he wants like it's that 360 anymore no oh is it backwards compatible um no oh okay well then he can't fine I was going to say either way he should play it in in some form because it's great yes yeah it gets better with every playthrough I don't

know how but I really want to go back and play the third one again though but yeah no I really enjoyed well I really enjoyed all of them um I don't know why it took me so long to play this the third one yeah I think the the third one ends so strongly I think the third one is is nearly as good as the first one yeah yeah no I I really liked it the whole the whole plot was really cool yeah there was lots to do the the way the Batmobile was implemented was really good like it it changed the game enough to make it like different it was yeah they did a really good job yep and when we say third one we mean Arkham Knight not Arkham Origins that one doesn't exist and it's not part of the Rock Steady that's right trilogy that's I've only played a little bit of

it and I mean it seemed like very similar but um as I understand it it was just overall not as good so I did all they did was they took the second game and just just released that pretty much and then made it that it's not a jail yet right yeah and don't worry you can beat up the police because they're all bad yeah so only bad police work on Christmas Eve what no that's that's actually a fact only bad police work on Christmas it's true ah do you want to talk about our our new sponsor we've uh yes we've we've got a new friend um mhm and her name is teubl and I'm going to be giving them lots of money uh we are we are now we're

now otherwise I won't talk anymore there's a few new things we need to talk about some some exciting nerdy news I'm upset okay not upset I'm just uh I'm a little sad that Dan's not here to talk about some of these things um so we may need to touch on them again next week when he's back oh yeah he's he's not well he's lost his voice which is why he's not here oh oh I may not be here next week what no no I'll be here next week the week after oh it depends when we're recording and when I'm at pack oh okay well we can we can figure something out but I'll have you still hear my voice during that time yeah of course because when when the listeners hear this episode you will be at PA at this very moment so yes being very very drunk hitting on

Major Nelson a that's my whole plan for PS he doesn't know how lucky he is yet yep so you going to interview him big hugs I'm going to try and do a lot lots of things to him and with him good good was a bit of bit of Sizzle for uh for some upcoming content yeah what some stuff got announced this week where do you want to start um I don't know should we go Nintendo or red dead I'm excited for both yeah uh do you want do we'll do Red Dead first there's not a whole lot to say uh cuz I mean there's just a little trailer and then they've made the announcement they Rockstar is working on Red Dead Redemption 2 which is y I mean that's a bit weird uh if you think about it cuz it's actually the third one in the Red Dead series yeah cuz it's Red Dead

Revolver was the original and then Red Dead Redemption and now Red Dead Redemption 2 but also is it is it John maren like yeah it's a prequel it looks like it's going to be from when he was in the gang well then how can it be two I'm just I'm confused of I mean look whatever who cares but it's see I it's still going to play it but isn't Red Dead Revolver the prequel to Red Dead Redemption I mean not the prequel but it was the first game that's just the same universe the the second one Red Dead Redemption it couldn't be a a full sequel to that because that was also talking about like the death of the old W West right okay cuz I haven't I haven't played revolver but um uh yeah no no revolver I haven't played but Redemption yeah that was sort of yeah

like it's you couldn't go after that because yeah the old west is gone there's cars now yeah everyone's got jobs also spoilers like sorry listeners spoilers but you play through your entire life like in the game like John his life gets played out well no you you play from when he's married and got a kid and he's trying to be good right and then you play out the rest of his life yeah exactly that's what I mean so a whole Gap when he was in in the gangs and running around we haven't played but this time it means we might be able to sleep with prostitutes and that's what the game was missing y not least oh I can't do it I'm a family man no you get in there John yeah he's uh he's freed up a bit in this one well maybe he'll meet his wife

and and all that kind of stuff in this one but this is actually all speculation cuz we don't no no no no we don't know all we know is that he's in it uh based on the Silhouettes that are visible in the promo picture and if you actually look at the Silhouettes um some of them actually look like the people he killed in the second one okay well that's that should be fun to to learn more about the backstory but rockar sort of annoy me bethesa come out and went hey we've made Fallout 4 and it's going to be out later this year uhhuh which roxar going we've making Dead Redemption you've got another year and a half to wait year and a half is a long time really just want someone to come out with a AAA title that everyone's waiting for to go hey we've been working on

this you can get it now yeah they did a good job with that with with Fallout like they announced it and it came out real quick that was good yeah uh there's a little teaser for Red Dead 2 um it's just a short video doesn't give away any plot just shows some some stuff I mean it looks good it looks like um you know it actually reminded me a lot of Witcher 3 like it looks really pretty and um I and those I think gameplay wise Witcher 3 and red dead were pretty similar um like not in story and and overall but just kind of like the style of game they're kind of similar I'm just hoping that they will focus a lot on the single player and not oh yeah what they've done with GTA5 and go multiplayer I haven't played GTA 5 at all oh it's a jd5 is a great game but

then I think Rockstar found out they they're making a lot more money off microtransactions from the multiplayer than they are the single player yeah you know we're probably not going to get any single player DLC with it now I thing that annoys me a little bit like I don't know GTA 5 how long how long ago is that did that come out like GTA 5 that'd be 3 years now I think yeah and every time there's a sale like steam or on Xbox right they don't really discount it they just make it the same price but then they throw in in-game money as like you get free you know like $10,000 in the game I'm like [ __ ] off yeah well it's a three-year-old game like it shouldn't shouldn't still be I mean a $100 in Australia or I think it's like 50 bucks here but like [ __ ]

off plus they re-released it on the Xbox One and then it was full price again like yep come on guys but they did do a lot of work on it but still it's yeah I know EA does this with Call of Duty too or they used to at least they would like milk full price for as long as possible like come on guys discount it properly yeah I don't know why they don't because they are like a lot of the money they're making is from the multi the micr transactions now like so I guess they don't need try and get more people in they clearly don't need to if they if they needed to they would so yeah trust me they know how to make money yeah yeah I guess it's it's probably working out for them but I don't know I'm just I don't care about GTA enough to buy it at full price but I

guess I'm probably in the minority because people love those games but yep CU I purchased it twice yeah right I'll probably never play it I just I don't not that interested I'll play Red Dead I [ __ ] I loved Red Dead Redemption uh and uh and like you know which are three again they're not really the same but you know what I mean when I say that the same kind of game like open world they've both got horses yeah yeah like they they feel a bit similar uh yeah yeah I'll play those not g to play GTA the world is just not interesting to me in GTA Los Angeles yeah I could it I could do that in real life not interesting to me oh that's the thing when I played through GTA I kept go around I walk down here with mat and that's where we had lunch

over there and Yep this is where we evidently the memories aren't aren't worth it for you no this is where we Gunn down all those [Laughter] [Music] people all right so the Nintendo switch has been announced yes so I don't know why companies all tend to do this there's a name out there and this time it was the NX which AG grew on me yep but now they' G nope we're now calling it The Switch they do this all the time the most famous is the Wii when it was the Nintendo Revolution and everyone was like that's a great name and then they're like it's the Wii everyone was like the [ __ ] is that well they've sort of done the same thing cuz the way it was hey like this is a thing that you brings everyone together and so we we play the game and that's what it is this

time it's a switch because it's a console but it's also a handheld device yeah I got it looks cool it looks really cool uh but so did the Wii when I first saw pictures of it and like the concept so I think the the big thing with this and I guess they everyone should be wary of this as well is it needs to have games yeah like that's the biggest issue with the um the Wii U and the and and ended up being the issue with the Wii is that didn't have enough stuff on it all third all third party developers went look we're not selling enough we're not going to make games for it anymore yeah yeah exactly well this time around you've already got well Bethesda when they announced it they showed Skyrim on it yeah but then Bethesda came out and went we haven't

announced that yet so it's not confirmed yeah right so it might not have scarum on it at all going to Skyrim is about six years old at this point so that's actually not as exciting as it might seem well it's sort of is cuz I'm buying Skyrim in about yeah 10 hours yeah but what version of Skyrim is this going to have on it is it going to be the uh the the original 360 version which like it was a 360 game is it going to be that or is it going to be the the new version like we don't really know yet what the power of this device no they haven't gotten a lot but it does look like it's going to be current generation it's going to be up there with Xbox one and PlayStation it looks like how can it be in a device that small that's that's the biggest cuz even have you seen the dock that it goes

in yeah but the dock that's just a dock the dock does nothing it just charges it and connects it to the television that's yeah exactly so it's basically an iPad uh yeah so that's what I mean I don't see how it can be current gen unless they've like [ __ ] I don't know they've there've been some advances in technology where you can get an Xbox One into you know a device that small cuz I don't think you can do that yet I maybe I'm wrong but uh I don't I don't know I mean it could definitely be more powerful than a 360 I mean even if it's like for the handheld stuff it doesn't need to be as powerful but if you know you're going to be hooking up to a TV like a HD TV like I don't know I'm worried they're going to be behind again you know that's all that's all I'm saying I think I'm

going to get one I think I probably will as well but I reserve the right to change my mind if it ends up being a bit [ __ ] yep I'm probably going to get one the day it comes out well yeah I don't know because I can finally play Zelda again well you could play zelder on the Wii U now yeah but why would I buy a Wii U to play Zelda why would you buy one of these to play Zelda well why would I buy a Wii U that's going to be sort of even Nintendo said the Wii U is a piece of [ __ ] yeah I think the Wii U words but yeah I know the Wii U is kind of like the the halfway between what they wanted to do and then this kind of thing like the Wii and then and then the switch like the the switch is kind of like the Wii U if

the Wii U was just the the controller you know it didn't have the the the Box sitting on the shelf um so it seems like maybe this is what they wanted to do but they couldn't but yeah my only concern is how are they going to fit a current gen console into that little device yeah well we're going to have to wait and see they they they'll come out and give us more soon I don't know why it being so secretive it comes out in March yeah well I don't know maybe maybe it's because it's not actually that good they don't want to let anyone know yet I don't know this this is their last chance you're putting them on screw this up they're done it's interesting that it doesn't have um a screen or seemingly doesn't have a touch screen yeah they haven't said anything about

it but they haven't said it doesn't have one yeah but they haven't said that it does they also haven't spoken about how long the battery life is no it's a good concept the way the controllers come off the side and you can kind of share them with people or you can hook up like a Pro Controller like it seems like I don't know it looks really cool I just I don't know I've been hurt before like even though the Wii was a fun it wasn't a good console no it was everyone played the Wii when it came out for the first month or two cuz everyone had the same injuries and then it just sat on the Shelf yeah this thing takes cartridges too which is interesting well it has to you can't if it's you're going to be moving around

with it it you can't have discs yeah good point Point yeah I like the idea that my console can kind of just travel with me and you know if this has I mean if they if if Witcher three is on this [ __ ] I'll probably buy one if I can have a portable Witcher 3 but I don't know what I liked on the ad was like it's sort of getting up there you just set it up in the plane and a way you go yeah that yes see that that is very appealing to me but then I have a 3DS uh which I use for that but having it be the same console that I use at home but that's what I mean though it's got to be powerful enough to I want I've got to want to use it when I'm not on an airplane as well

you know yes cuz you don't fly that often as much as you like the name drop cities you go to that's right I'm not traveling that much and I love my 3DS in for those very specific situations and when I used to catch the train to work I used to play my 3DS a lot and I would probably play with this a lot but the the ideal scenario is I use this all the time so like when I get home I still play on this because it's my primary gaming machine so I want them to make it powerful enough that that can be real you know what I mean yeah so mine it's going to be I'm still going to be Xbox as my primary gaming machine M because achievement whall I can't stop yeah but I I think I quite like the switch to take to work and play at lunch and

things yeah yeah I think I think having that bigger screen I think makes a big difference yeah no it looks cool I think it's going to be good depending on the price and again you know the third party games I think it might be worth picking one up um they need to work on I know in the past they've had trouble with uh making them developer friendly I know they don't want to compete necessarily with with Microsoft and Playstation they're trying to like and Sony they're trying to do their own thing like they've said that you know but they also need to understand that Microsoft and Sony like and PC they're kind of all hovering around the same sort of Hardware so the games can be cross-compatible whereas if Nintendo goes off and does their own thing they

can't have those games I think a part of the problem was is no one wanted to make games that uses the Wii remote because right but then they they have to Target that specifically and then if they don't have enough market share it's not worth it exactly but this time I haven't seen anything about people jumping around stupidly with these the switch Yeah there's none of that there's no touch screen uh it it's seems fairly straightforward it all just sit down pick up a controller and play so that's going to be also very developer friendly yes yeah they don't have to cater for strange controls cuz if you look at like the Wii remote yeah you can't play anything with it no like it had two buttons you have to buy a Pro Controller yeah no I'm

excited about it it's going to be interesting I don't know if it'll replace my Xbox probably won't no it won't replace my Xbox but I will be getting one Nintendo I will review one for you send one to me and I'll review it yeah send us out uh some switches my favorite thing from the from the trailer or the announcement video and I know the internet has already picked up on how great this is as well is the girl who shows up at the party with it and everyone's like drinking and having fun and she's like no no no no play this like that would be you that that's Luke at a party yeah let's play video games oh this isn't in the spreadsheet but that just reminded me have you played the the new jackbox bundle no not yet is it three or two three jackbox three no I

haven't played three yet it's really good do I have to get three yeah yeah it's good it's got some good games in it um we were playing all right two at a friend's place the other week and then uh and then on the weekend we're at someone else's and actually came out that day I think some good stuff the um I like the sound effect game is fun and then there's um oh man actually they're all good I was just remembering all the others there's trivia uh that's run by a serial killer you're trapped in a Serial Killer's um game uh and you have to play trivia and then there is uh uh the the one where Faker something um faking it I think it's called faking it it's where everybody plays and one person is the faker right

so everyone gets given a task it'll say raise your hand if you've ever vomited on an airplane and and everybody gets that prompt except one person doesn't get anything and they have to fake it so yeah and then and then you have to pick who's making it up like it'll say there was one question that was how many weird ow songs can you sit through before you have to turn it off and you have to hold up fingers to represent it kind of thing and yeah so one person doesn't know what the the thing is it's it's good it's a fun game all right I will be after this I'll change my Xbox over to the United States and I'll be purchasing that oh it's not out in Australia no we didn't even get um the second one oh I didn't know that we got the first one but that was it

okay that's something I'm going to ask V Nelson about why do we don't get those games in austr well not we why you don't get those games why I know why it's just cu the developers have to apply for the license where not a big enough market for such a small company to justify them spending the money yep fair enough well we're uh coming up on on the end of the show we've been talking for a while but I did want to mention one more thing uh that we predicted again and Hollywood's we we well we gave it our approval and then Hollywoods you know they listened they listened and Donald Glover has been cast as Lando cian Y for the new Standalone Han Solo

movie yeah so that's good news as far as I'm concerned yeah I think I I think it's going to be great yeah I actually wasn't really very excited about that film at all and then but now I'm like h yeah I'll watch that now it looks like yeah so you have there'll be I'm hoping it's going to be like three main characters I hope it's going to be land's going to play a major role in it yeah not just uh oh look there's Lando over there and he waves he waves and walks off yeah or there'll be a short scene where Han Solo plays pazar against him and then wins the Falcon and then [Laughter] leaves cuz when's that one the this one's 2018 is it uh I don't know yeah it's a little while because we've got episode 8

is next year and then I think it's the year after yeah and we got apparently got n and then Boba Fett and then we got an Obi-Wan movie coming out do you know I didn't know I've I guess since they announced the new Obi-Wan film more people have been saying his name more people than I would have expected call him Obie like I've never his name's Obi-Wan I've never called him Obie but I've heard I've heard a lot of people refer to him as Obie like like it's his first name I don't think I've ever just said Obie ever it's it's Obi One yeah I know um I mean Jaa Binks calls him Obie but Jaa Binks is a [ __ ] so and I'm still pretending those movies don't exist I was at a a lobster restaurant in Maine and I bought a t-shirt cuz I

wanted a t-shirt to commemorate the fact that I finally went to this restaurant that I wanted to go uh and it's uh the fork awakens and it's got a lobster on it it's great it's not it's a terrible [ __ ] but I wanted it uh anyway and yeah the The woman there uh started talking about Star Wars and then she said oh yeah I didn't know they were doing an Obie movie and I was like they're not doing an Obi movie they're doing an Obi-Wan movie [ __ ] with that's all for this week thank you for listening and we hope you enjoyed the show if you enjoyed it then please subscribe and items to receive episodes automatically we'll see you next time
