[Music] welcome to multiple nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All Things nerdy good morning good evening how are you I'm pretty good how are you sleepy a me too but that's cuz I just woke up I'm trying to drink lots of Mountain Dew to stay awake oh it's Mountain Dew this week I just assumed it was Gin oh it's mixed with gin but did they pre-make that or did you make that yourself I pre-made it myself wait what well I made it early to starting so it's pre-made oh okay you don't just have like a a tumbler of it
in the fridge ready to go at all times no unfortunately I don't know you cently do that with soft drink oh yeah it's true goes flat yeah if there's a way I could make my own I would well you could buy like a vacuum seal system or something too much effort yeah I'm already out because how do they seal them at the factory you know what machine we're not going to be able to answer this so never mind how's your week been ah work work work okay well that's not interesting for the listeners so no but I did do something earlier in the week that wasn't work related and what is that I saw a certain certain movie that was really enjoyable oh I saw ging the Galaxy Volume 2 yeah I haven't seen it yet when when is that out here it's
out in like a week I think it's out next week yeah that's so long I think it comes out in Australia on the 6th of May I think it is it's probably the same here which means like a day later but yeah let me find it Guardians two looking now or is it out out I think it might be out here already May 4th it comes out which is Thursday so I'll probably see it I know maybe Friday or something but that's not important there is one important question that I'm sure the listeners are wondering yep does anybody get the tits cut off no no I was looking out for it damn but I will say this is now my favorite Marvel movie yeah yep wow okay better than Fantastic 4 uh just just just pipson just just Pips it but this
movie is what comic book movie should be just fun okay cool yeah well the first one surprised me yeah yeah the first one came out of nowhere and was just great this one just I don't know just appeals to me okay now the trailers for this the trailers were very different so so I don't know spoilers well remember how we're talking about spoilers with trailers last time yeah about how like that can give away an entire movie the trailer for this gives away maybe the first 15 minutes of the movie huh and that's all like it's not really like it's not a that's why I think they came out and get you meet his dad and everything like that's very early on in the movie okay so yeah they don't ruin anything no no not at
all that's good I actually I think I'm going to go see it again cool see hopefully that's the same with spider man and I'm wrong it's just seems like seems like they've ruined that now well yeah I wonder if they have done the same cuz yeah they work well for Guardians I was I was I had tears at some point in the movie oh was it sad it was just that bad yeah no that they were tears of laughter okay soon as it comes out you go see it go see it with Dan uh well I don't think that's going to be feasible we we got like 24 hours we we hanging out you can do it the movie goes for two and a half hours I'm going we're going to see a movie his movie well you going
to see two movies well maybe it's not hard maybe maybe we'll see or the other thing you've both seen his movie go see Guardians at the time his movie is playing and then just meet up after we'll just come back and and to see anyone's got any questions yeah all right cool fair enough I always have to solve all the problems here that's true well that's that's why we have you around uh well that and there is there's one other segment that uh that we need you for and uh we don't do it all the time but we're going to do it this week because listener Kyle has sent in something for you to review so I'm going to find the jingle and I'm G to play the jingle
okay look reviews so this uh I don't know if you've looked at this yet I've just clicked on the link mhm this is a I know what this thing be I will link to this in the show notes obviously this is a uh robotic [ __ ] machine uh sent in to was by Kyle and if you just scroll down and watch the video at the bottom I think you'll be you'll be a bit you'll be excited I think because it's uh it's pretty impressive have you seen the heads yeah oh yeah photo realistic at the eyebrows it's so good
so basically it's like uh so weird it's got like uh it's like a metal box with a uh it's like one of those uh birds that drink the water except it's big uh and it's got like a fake human head on it uh and then you can kind of Disguise the fact that it's just a big machine by putting clothes over it like but I like they they put a lot of look at the hair the hair you could re the hair to make it be different styles and stuff and yeah in the video they lovingly um you know take the hair out of its little uh it's like noted like a what do you call it like a little had it in a little bun tarians do yeah he loving the librarian pulls the pen out of her hair and fix it
back be all sexy like they've done that but it just looks scary yeah it looks terrifying because it's attached to a a giant giant arm on a robot thing like a so how do I review this um it's an Indiegogo campaign well the best thing about this is cuz I I was like I I did worry that that Hannah would question you having this in the house so uh I wasn't sure how to deal with that but luckily uh they mentioned that it can be assembled in seconds and when you pull it apart you can just kind of throw a cushion on it and uh it's just like it's just you can just it looks like you've got clothes right you own clothes so that's not suspicious just pop a cushion
over the uh the the arm and the you know the body of the the machine it's like you know what what [ __ ] machine so uh you just basically you're going to need to just back it on uh Indiegogo and then when it arrives let us know how it goes now the campaign so far is not uh at 100% they're almost 50% and they've got 22 days left for the uh the iseland robotics service Droid 1.0 that's actually not bad for like a Indiegogo campaign most kickstarters and stuff make their money the big money in the last 48 hours yeah yeah and uh I like how they've got pictures of like uh what's he from Battle Star Galactica and like remember
robots guys you ever wanted a blow job from a robot um see yeah I don't think I could afford one if you go to the Indiegogo page scroll down to uh there's a section titled it's [ __ ] nightmare fuel it's got a human mouth and then it's got like their version of it which is this terrifying deformed the teeth really concern me it looks like something from Prometheus all right so I need to take some money out of the nasm budget I need £300 was that like 600 bucks I have no idea all right we don't really have a budget but see what we can do yeah it's 295 to get a service Droid 1.0 which is the full thing cuz if I'm going to do it
I want the full thing I just don't want to get the head no which is the things you can get you can just get the head and then you can do it by head oh God I like the uh it's got this picture under mechanical design which is just a head with an arrow [ __ ] know well yeah so uh oh yeah and it's got that little suction valve which apparently you can pop your thumb over and it provides more suction this thing is just creepy like we they need to fix the heads but then I'm saying that but it's I guess it's no weirder than like a flashlight or something it's just a more elaborate no no this is weirder than a flashlight yeah this is so much more weirder than a
flashlight all right fine I wasn't sure have you seen it the video where it's on the the the doing the banana and then the ice block yeah yeah it's just it's how it works goes to town on the on the whatever you give it and it's they're very careful to mention that you can you know just put a apply a bit of force to the foreward and it'll stop you know if it gets a little too uh you know too intense for you God it features semi hard teeth a tongue and throat Contours comes with a exit tube valve on its neck you can press to provide toe curling suction on demand oh and it's it's 100% human hair that they've jammed on it oh y oh
yeah what those people selling their hair I bet this is exactly what they thought they're selling it for yeah this is I would donate more hair why where am I kiding I don't have any but yeah if I knew it was going to be used for this that's so weird all right oh you can buy like uh and just in case anyone's thinking this is wait no I was going to say it's not sex cuz you can get a boy one doesn't matter no women have no use for this so so yeah what is a woman using this for yeah nothing absolutely nothing all right fine maybe us to keep their clothes on yeah they use it to store their cushions on top of I need to get can we talk about something else cuz this video I can't stop watching the video and it's
just no all right while while we're on the subject of heads uh this this idiot neuroscientist neurosurgeon sorry from from Italy uh who he claims he's going to be transplanting human heads is back I thought wasn't he going to do it this year yeah well he got this uh Russian guy to to to you know sign up to do it but I think I mean I it's not really feasible I don't think so that's probably why it hasn't happened yet and so it's not a head trans not a head transplant it's a body transplant you can't transplant a head you are your head like if there's any part of you that is you it's the head so if you swap the head the transplant is everything
else [ __ ] it doesn't matter but it just frustrates me but I can understand it yeah yeah it's it sounds more dramatic to say head transplant because yeah otherwise you have to explain like body transplant what does that mean like yeah cuz yeah cuz we this on the podcast earlier last year and we thought it was going to be happening this year yeah so he's saying now it's about 3 years away so 2020 um he made headlines when he claimed that he could do it now uh and a Russian man suffering from a spinal muscular atrophy malady called W Hoffman disease uh volunteered for the procedure uh and he in 2016 uh canava the the neurosurgeon released a bunch of videos uh of animals that he had apparently performed the surgery on like
mice and I think a dog and he claims that he's done a head transplant on a monkey but he hasn't published anything to do with it he just claims that he's done it and if you look at the photos here it's got they've got pictures of him uh and I don't know this the whole thing is just really creepy like it it I wouldn't trust this guy to swap my head on video Yeah of the mouse yeah it's like yeah it's [ __ ] creepy I mean if if you really did swap the head on that I guess well that's I mean it's impressive that it's moving at all but I mean God it doesn't make me want to it doesn't make me confident that my quality of life is going to be good after this you know well look at the person who's volunteered his quality of
life isn't the greatest okay so that may still be a step up for him well it's not like we've got a a weightlifter or a fit athlete signing up for it no yeah yeah well why would you and because the other thing we haven't mentioned this time we've talked about this before when we've talked about it though is uh a lot of people are concerned about what the Mental effects of this would be on the person getting the head transplant body transplant because you get a lot of uh rejection psychologically in transplant cases they have that with hand transplants and everything that they have to go through a lot of counseling and everything for it yeah cuz your your brain's a weird thing and it doesn't
like it when well your brain is mine's not no you no you'd probably be fine yeah you'd like being jerked off by someone else's hand I assume yeah who doesn't mhm but it would be weird right to to look down and be like well that's not me ah you get used to it yeah well I think the problem is that they don't know if you would so ah I would I guess we're going to find out H that and also the um your body actually physically rejects transplanted Parts sometimes you have to take medication to to stop it rejecting the uh yeah someone else's Parts I this would be the same is planting a hand though for the rejection I I I think well I mean it's your hand's about as big as your head it's a little bit
your head's a little bit bigger yeah my my head's a bit bigger than my hand yeah she'll be all right I mean it's a little more complicated I'm assuming I'm not a neurosurgeon but then again I'm not convinced this guy is so there's a reason why he's not Consulting us on what he should be doing no but if he wants to podcast multipl nasm.com uh we have some thoughts uh I mean you could just listen to the show and and then go back and try and find the previous ones multipl nasm.com all our episodes are up there we Tagg them so if you want to find a particular episode you can go and check the tags and we usually try and tag everything that we talked about in a show I don't know if we've we've never mentioned this before I don't think but
if if you're after something in particular that we've talked about check the tags on the posts on the website might to find I might do that cuz every now and again I think of an old episode then I can have no idea how to find it man some of the stuff I um because oh obviously Dan's not here uh as you probably noticed because he's on his way to to us uh and then we' he mentioned the other week that he was he was interested in uh a clip show of all the pre-recorded stuff and so Jenna's been going through them and she's found stuff that I [ __ ] I forgot even existed like that time I interviewed Hayden Christensen I forgot about that which I'm not going to spoil but uh
it was I was like huh it's pretty funny Pat myself on the back and uh yeah there's a bunch of things that we uh that we've done that I don't remember and probably I don't remember last week's episode uh what are we talking about last week no I don't know I know that's especially a problem when people go CU people listen to the m we've done this before as well people ask random questions about things we talked about a year ago oh [ __ ] I don't know we do this every week yeah so anyway this guy claims he can swap heads swap bodies yep I'm just going to have to correct you every time you say it that's fine it should be and then oh he's also going to try and uh put a frozen brain in a body that's another thing he says he's going to do
which again what's that going to do he is he's going to get a preserved brain from alcohol life extension Foundation which is a chronics company uh which those things are all scams as well uh but he reckons he's going to take it and put it into a b human body I guess and bring it back to life which for Stars CICS in case you listeners in case you're thinking of getting yourself Frozen when you die so you can be revived have no [ __ ] idea what they're doing like you can't you can't just freeze yourself doesn't doesn't work like that like they're damaging the body when they do that and generally scientists are convinced like irreparable damage is done when you freeze person but you're
already dead sir right but the point is well then don't pay them like a couple of million to hey you're dead who cares body yeah exactly stupid yeah pay me a few million dollars I'll freeze you so I think this guy maybe the the attention tapered off and so now he's just making stupid claims again so anyway I really hope he does it I'm interested look if this Russian guy is up for it like really up for it and they do it sure that's interesting like I don't think it's a good idea but if they want to do it all right and then yeah let us know how it goes please invite us along I'd love to be in that little viewing room I don't
know if I would and we can live podcast it no because I have a feeling it's going to be like a [ __ ] horror movie like well I I think it's I think it would be incredibly disturbing and I don't think this guy is I think this guy is going to I think he's going to wake up and be like oh sweet and then just hop up and you know go play soccer I think I think it's going to be [ __ ] awful and I don't know if I want to see it fine me and Dan will go all right good well in order to pay for the trip uh I assume you're going have to go to Russia uh we're May going to need to plug the patreon and I've got some exciting news we've got a new Paton and uh and they've pledged $5 an episode which means they're going to get wow yeah they're going to get their own
special episode of the podcast and uh so there's no rush on that I've spoken to them and there's no rush on that because obviously Dan's not around and yeah I think for that it least to be all three of us no they want the whole experience which is understandable uh but yes but if you would be interested in your own personal episode of the podcast you can back us at $5 an episode uh and you you need to to do a month's worth of it uh and then we'll do the episode uh that's the same with all the reward tiers we ask that you just do a full month of it and then we'll you know you'll get what's coming to you uh head to patreon.com multiple nerdgasm you can back us for as little as $1 an episode uh and that'll get you a thank
you on the podcast although I don't um I don't like to say people's names unless I know that they want us to sometimes because in the past people have have gotten upset not upset but like I don't know people said oh oh we've upset some people we definitely have upset people yeah patreon.com multiple nasm $1 episode will get you a thank you if you want one $2 will get you uh you can we'll read out a message from you any anything you want five bucks gets you a personal episode uh they go up from there and we've got the Richard Branson here which is uh if you pledge 1.5 million an episode ex said we need to put that up I think because of inflation I think we need to increase that it at the moment I think it's 1.5 million and we'll uh you can come with us into space
and we'll record yeah now we definitely need to put that up we'll record in space yeah I think I think the cost of that has gone up I think it's about 600,000 a person now really I think it was I think originally it was it was 2ou 250,000 and we had it at a million and then it went up to like 300,000 so we were like ah to cover it we'll put it up to 1.5 but they' really been quiet lately yeah I think everybody since I had that crash and the guy died nothing who died um one of their planes crashed one of the Virgin Galactic planes crashed and one of the pil died I didn't know that I think could be a dream never know with me so yeah patreon.com multip nerdgasm so that's a good way to
support the show uh another good way to support the show is give us a positive review on iTunes uh for for this show the multiple nerm podcast uh or check out some of our other shows necronom Jenner and I do or the specials Channel where we have uh you know we do cover conventions and Live Events and sometimes we do special movie reviews if if a big film comes out someone asked uh where if we did a rogue one uh like special Standalone thing but we didn't we just talked about it on the show weird yeah I was like oh yeah we didn't do that there will be a last j i one oh yeah definitely uh but yeah see the force awakens was such a big deal that we did one so that's that's Chann I don't think we thought Rogue one was going to be as good as it was well yeah
and and also it hadn't you know it wasn't the first Star Wars film since the prequels so it was kind of you know less of a big deal but it's a special Channel and also you can head over to multipl nasm.com merch um we've got t-shirts and uh stickers and mugs and all that kind of stuff with our faces and with our logo on it and all that kind of stuff they're pretty cool uh as well as some other designs from tuu which are it's independent designers they do stuff based on all the pop culture things you love so we've Star Wars shirts uh we curate right what's that the Virgin spaceship 2 did crash and killed the co-pilot oh man in 2015 14 okay Mama wonder if we find that on two
public the Virgin Galactic crash probably there be Virgin Galactic shirts I bet yeah that's I wasn't thinking the crash I thought that's g a bit far SpaceX they've got all sorts of stuff on there check it out mul if you go through multip nasm.com merch they will know that we sent you and they will support this show which is helpful for us the riters strike again yeah again we're screwed again what are they complaining about this time oh I think they have every right to complain they want to renegotiate since they last had their right or stri and had their contract whatever since they last ruined television for six months the way we watch television has greatly changed that's true like we binge watch we watch
everything online we watch everything on Netflix and other streaming services yeah the way that writers sort of make money without it is now is they make it off how many episodes or once it gets a syndication or something right okay but that's not a thing anymore like syndication like where you get the reruns and stuff yeah now it's just always available yeah so that's why they because that's where they used to make their money on the back end yeah I get you so now they want sort of more money up front which I completely understand although are they getting paid per stream I just wondering if this is another case like you know with the music industry where people were freaking out about stuff like Spotify and then now it's starting to to kind of
pay off well remember Dan said it's not cuz I always thought that it was like they get paid by they get a percentage of however many times it was watched yeah which but evidently Dan says it's not like that that it's actually it's all disussed they get um their money up front for they buy the license to sh and that's it right yeah I don't know how it works I have no idea yeah but what I'm scared about is last time this happened this is where we ended up with Kim Kardashian and stuff wow reality TV took over because you don't need writers for that don't be scared Luke this is an opportunity what keeping up with triple yeah we need to we need to very easy to keep up with me I don't move very fast we need to come up with our with a TV show that's what we need to do I mean I
don't know what it would be because we don't do anything interesting the most interesting thing we do is this show and it's not that interesting no they could just film they could film us now no you'd have to put pants on oh no I'm not putting pants on all right so it's it' be our rated TV show y oh that's right westw world's got dicks in it doesn't it lot of TV shows I don't know I haven't seen it yet would' be on HBO maybe you can have dicks on HBO I think there we go we won't be on the CW no no no probably not or I don't know what the C is I don't know what the CW is either I know that all the DC shows are on there aren't they yeah all the dickas shows but yeah so
they all voted to have their I don't know when it's starting but we won't feel the effects of it for a while yeah yeah it'll be like last time once it does happen last time in case listeners have forgotten we got uh Heroes season 2 that was the one of the big things that was [ __ ] from it uh and also they split up battl Star Galactica oh that's right they did [ __ ] that was a yeah but but yeah that see that stuff wouldn't happen now because they just done it all they don't they don't make them like that anymore they just shoot them all and then release the whole lot so they'll just be like a little drought of content not not for everything though no I suppose there're still cable TV a lot of stuff is still week to week oh yeah Game of
Thrones but they already done actually also will affect video games game Riders are now part of the same Guild so they go on strike they all go on strike so in a year's time we could see because games will take longer to hit us yeah m movie TV movie will see in six months games will see in about a year so the stand there be a bunch of [ __ ] games yeah but they could just fix them in in the meantime can't they no I suppose what do you mean fix them well like if the writing is bad wait till the strike's over and then just get someone to go back over and fix it yeah but then they're going to be rushing stuff out quickly I suppose so like it's a bad thing but a good thing yeah all right
fine hopefully it'll be resolved I want good writers to get paid no I do I do too of course I do I feel that uh the a lot of these industries are changing and they need to like sort it out I I mentioned the music industry before apparently um Spotify now has kind of proven itself a little bit like this uh new albums coming out on Spotify that everybody's listening to it on there and people are starting to realize that because you know a lot of bands were like oh you know we used to get you know x amount of money when everybody buys the album and now we only get like one cent but but you don't get money every time someone listens to a song when they buy the album and on Spotify
you do like it's completely different and they just couldn't get their head around it and apparently now it's it's starting to um you know pay off for everybody well and the other thing is because now people can go and listen to it on Spotify they're not just going and downloading it for free right yeah they're actually paying money for it but the thing they're complaining about is like if if say I I don't know what the figures are but like say I put an album out and you buy it and I get you know like 10 bucks of your CD purchase and they saying well now I'm only going to get one cent except that's not how it works because every time somebody listens to a song you get one cent you get one cent yeah it's a different model and some album
that came out the other week by some pop singer uh was it's it's been the highest most streamed album ever and he's made like millions in the first day from Spotify and so it's kind of proven that the system works uh as long as you know once it's given time to to get itself going it it seems to work all right it's just different H uh one thing we don't have to worry about in the rer strike are the new Avatar films because he's finished writing them uh we talked about how he's going to start filming them and they've now all been given release dates evidently I was wrong when I said they're never coming out no they've got release dates um I still think they're never coming out well I have a feeling they've had release dates
before but uh I'm not quite sure but well the see this Avatar 2 is still not Jo out for another 3 years yeah December 18 2020 Avatar 3 will follow a year later December 17 2021 and then 3 years after that December 20 2024 and then Avatar 5 December 19 20 it says 2015 but I think that's supposed to be 2025 I I have a feeling that they're going to do a bit of a Back to Future and film two movies at the same time back to back no no no what they're doing he he's doing all of them now but he doesn't film them he just captures the actors like in the computer digitally that's then why take three years in between three and yeah I don't know I'm not sure maybe there's so much work
involved in in them that he wants to space it out like maybe they're going worried that people aren't going to go and see them because everyone loved the original Avatar but that was not the movie they loved the 3D it was everyone's first experience with 3D yeah I know that's 3D is dead oh yeah Ian like it's I don't see it advertised as much and I've I've have less trouble avoiding it now than I used to so unless he yeah I think this is going to lose money well we'll see he generally I mean he hasn't had a flop at all I don't think James Cameron usually does right so we'll see but yeah they're doing all the motion
capture uh now like it's be the production has begun so he's got the actors in the studio with the you know the sensors on them and he's capturing all the the data for the actors and then the rest of it just gets done on computers like there's no there's nothing to film I guess is the point still have to ask who's asking for this movie or these movies well I see I think that too but then they built a [ __ ] Avatar world at Disneyland a Disney World like it's it's opening soon and and uh there was another video I saw today of like the one of the rides is like is we talked about it before it's like uh the It's a Small World ride yep and it actually does to die it does have actual singing na'vi mechanical things and they're creepily
weird creepily real looking they're pretty good animatronics I'm interested to see it just because they the the robots look look pretty real you better get down there soon then well I don't know when does that open I we have passes for Disney but I don't want to go to Animal Kingdom I want to go to Buddy Epcot or magic King the fun ones yeah the ones with the Star Wars stuff well you could you you could you got your passes to go to what but you got to be down there why not pay to go to the other one yeah maybe maybe do maybe just for this for this podcast we should check it out like I get my blow drob robot yeah and you get to go to the Avatar right blowbot I think it's called blowbot is this episode called blowbot I
think it might be I think it has to be um all right well I tell you what listeners head to the patreon on and uh and if we can get enough money to f a trip to M to Animal Kingdom we'll go Lots first yeah obviously got to prioritize yeah uh other movie news I got some some exciting news for you I know I saw this I'm gonna have to actually start watching The Fast and Furious movies so I can work out what the hell the movies are about yeah and start at the beginning cuz things escalate pretty quickly through them the news is that Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Jason Stam are potentially getting their own spin-off series I guess franchise from Fast the Furious uh this is pretty much
just away from to get around the fact that they' said there's only going to be 10 movies and then we're not making any more I think it might be a way to get around the fact that vinel doesn't want other people stealing the the Limelight because it says in this article that there was a uh a post credits scene for fate of the Furious that featured the Rock and Jason Statham uh but Vin Diesel was like get out of my movie and uh had him pull it out cu he that's the the the feud between the Rock and Vin Diesel was over screen time and stuff apparently also I apologize for that awful Vin Diesel impression said I'm more like sylv Stallone yeah it really
did wasn't my best work but yeah I think only movie I've actually seen Vin Diesel in is gy Galaxy I honestly don't think I've seen him in any other movie I'm not sure that counts anyway you haven't seen like pitch black or no uh triple XX or what else is he in I've heard him say I am Ro he does a good job with that no he did a great job with that I still want to know how much he got paid to say I am Groot a few times seen him out probably more than I make in a year yeah certainly right I'm having a look at V diesel and IMDb to see if anything jumps
out that I've seen him in okay all right he's an actor that's true um okay so soon Galaxy yes mhm uh Rik no mhm um f f no B one ad no maybe the pacifier oh yeah that baby movie yeah where he plays oh no I was gonna no I was going to make a joke about a baby putting Vin Diesel in its mouth but that that no that's not on no just just don't no yeah I think that would be the only movie I've seen with him in it the pacifier and I'm not even sure I've seen it all right I don't think I've seen it what what's the pacifier he's just a big army dude that has to babysitting kid oh that really is
what it is yeah I was joking all right fine a disgraced Navy SEAL Shane wolf is handed a new assignment protect five plumber kids from enemies of their recently deceased father a government scientist his top secret experiment remains in the kid's house I thought it would be pacifier like he was an action hero who had to go into some [ __ ] War torn country to to pacify the you know the no no no it's he's looking after babies okay fair enough then well four kids and a baby that's my favorite one of those X and a baby movies Three Men and a Baby and all that I need to make a sequel to that I thought they did no no I mean complete the trilogy oh right it was always meant to be a Trilogy yeah yeah George Lucas had
written six films but they only made two of them Three Men and a Baby three men men and a little lady that's right uh speaking of George Lucas that's pretty good segue uh there's this weird clip uh of an interview with Kath Kathleen Kennedy that I mean [ __ ] I don't know what to make of this how does this guy's podcast get that interview I know stupid when he can't even ask the simplest question he can't even word a question so the question is he's trying to ask I mean I assume he's trying to ask are we going to get the original Star Wars versions you know the theatrical versions of Star Wars without the not the special editions but he like he asks he asks her in a weird
way um and she has no idea what the hell he's talking about no because he's confusing her um yeah he's talking about like will George lucas' Final Cuts be altered again or something like that and she her answer in the end is no no no we're not touching those yeah those will always remain his and but then it's like what is she talking about the special editions like they're not further altering the special editions or is she saying they're not going to release the originals cuz it [ __ ] just ask the question just say are you going to release the theatrical versions of the Star Wars films yep there you go just that's a yes or no answer yeah I guess this guy was nervous or something but yeah [ __ ]
me yeah I just find it really really annoying that he had he had the chance to ask it and he wanted to and then tried to be smarter than what he is yeah yeah he probably a lovely guy I'm just annoyed that he was there and just had her there and she could have said yes or no and he asked this weird rambling question that like they just confused her and then we got like no answer either that or she did understand what he was asking and she chose to be obtuse anyway which is possible it is but the look on her face is what are you asking she really yeah cuz I watched it and yeah she's not coming across as being oh you I'm not
going to give you an answer that was what what are you saying to me yeah so no news there basically like I still think they'd be crazy not to do it yeah it's be like that's free money yeah it's printing money don't you want money I know you do Disney like this is one you don't really have to do anything to get no just take the [ __ ] movie that you've already got and slap it on uh Blu-ray and and digital download CH it yeah yeah you're able to make new ones and do it just take one you've already made and do it just do it I to be honest though I wouldn't want the theatrical I just still want sort of maybe a
remastered oh yeah I know what you mean tid it up the 1997 one that came out on VHS I've got it yeah on VHS yeah don't have a VCR as do I but yeah that that's the one I yeah I still still didn't tidy it up I don't think I'd be able to go and watch the original original now although uh that do it that fan restored version of A New Hope from um from the original film negative that I happen to have is beautiful so there's they could just do that maybe yeah that'll work just let us have it we'll pay you for it please like I I want to give you money yeah guarantee s guaranteed millions of dollars guaranteed
y yeah something else I'd be guaranteed to buy if it was coming out on Xbox which you've correctly pointed out it is not yeah I'm so upset about this the creators of burnout are making a crash mode kind of spiritual successor yep and like a Burnout Revenge Type of yeah and if you don't know what that means there's a game called um burnout which was like a racing game was like an arcade style racing game but it had a Mode called crash mode where you basically had to cause an accident at like a big intersection or something and you got more points the more damage and destruction you caused I was actually ranked on uh Burnout Revenge really I was ranked fourth in the world we used
to play this all the time we would have like like we would have a party to play this and we would just get drunk and play crash mode like like all the time now they haven't ruled out an Xbox version it's just not but they're basically saying look we're making this on um the PlayStation and PC yeah we don't want to do a crappy port to the Xbox good I don't want them to either which that's fine work on your PlayStation work on your PC but then once that's out maybe make an Xbox version because you'll make money yeah cuz it's sort of weird because these are the guys they also made dangerous golf what is that dangerous golf it's um it's
a bit like burnout except it's golf so you start in the room you have to hit the ball and you sort of try and cause as much damage as you can in a room huh and you get the same break meter and stuff and this came out in the Xbox not long ago dangerous golf all right I'm going to look into that I have I've played the first mission and then I got distracted with other games got the The Lure of achievements pulled you away yep but I still need to go and get achievements from this okay but look I've given you money I'll give you more money if you make another game on the Xbox thing too is like I if even if I have a PC at that point I don't know it's it's a kind of a party game for
me at least that's how we used to play it and I would I'd definitely be up for for some more of that makes me want makes me want makes me W I don't know why I'm talking like Mario it makes me want to dig out the old original Xbox to play because that's what we played on the on the it's the original Xbox yeah not the yep 360 or anything yeah that the 360 came out I think Burnout Revenge was an Xbox and 360 game right okay yeah cuz I remember it was yeah the original but the original was like burnout one two and three yeah cuz I think I actually had burnout on my PlayStation 2 two yes yeah
back in the day I think it's also on GameCube good old GameCube what a great console a great console it was it was very undervalued mine wasn't best way to mine was [ __ ] S I made a pretty penny off mine I don't know how I still got mine I don't know what to do with it the only reason I sold mine is because I knew I was moving here and it wasn't even going to work here so wouldn't hook up to a TV here wouldn't take the power here was pointless keeping it I've been thinking about playing racing games again lately do you still have your racing chair I still have my wrting chair but every now and again I have to like put it away cuz it does take up a lot of room and you don't use it so well yeah so I'll sort of I'll use
it and then I'll use it like a lot for a week or two and then it will sit there for a month and then I'll put it away and then a few months time I get the urge to use it again and I've got that urge again but I have to wait till about the 9th of May why because they're they're releasing some DLC for Fusion uh for of horizon 3 oh okay Hot Wheels cool so is it you know like the that iconic orange track and the loop the loops and all that yeah it's going to have that in it you know I I kind of like racing games but I don't know I just I I can never prioritize them so I buy them and then they just sit there like I bought um I got Dave gave me a his old Logitech steering wheel a few years ago yep and I got super into
racing games for like a month on on PC I bought like a bunch of games on Steam and then I like I literally just remembered now that that I that that was a thing and I think the last time I even thought about it was at the end of that month see I'm I love racing games and it's actually why I want to get a HTC 5 oh that would be cool because I think like the steering wheel and just being first person like that I think that's going to be amazing I want to play Elite dangerous on uh on yes VR at some point Y see this is where I think VR needs to start heading I think they need to get out of their head that people are going to be standing up and walking around yeah yeah or or at least they don't need to
yeah like I don't know why they've got in their head like VR means you have to be able to standing and walking no one has room for that and I'm a nerd there's a reason why I sit down and play games I'm lazy yeah spaceships and cars and things or flight simulators yep imagine Star Wars X-Wing I'm imagining it just VR I'm imagining it I need this I need to get a I need to get a htt5 yeah give money to patreon uh, 1400 1,400 jeez all right I know here you can get a uh an Oculus Rift uh with the controllers and everything for I think 500 bucks but I don't have anything that I can plug it into
I I my computer will run VR that's why I got this thing yeah so I do want to get a Vive but I might hopefully prize will drop later in the year or I might just get one sent to you and then you get it sent to me cuz that might end up being cheaper I don't know how much they are there or um you could get one shipped to me and I'll just have it yeah I don't like that idea no all right no fine I want to play Fallout 4 oh yeah yeah that could be cool man I need to go back and play that a bit I started playing uh thimble weed Park uh oh what's that like it's good it's fun it's funny it's made me laugh out loud a couple times it's like it's Goofy and it's very very old school like it feels like um I think it even feels
like Zack McCracken do you remember Zack McCracken it's one of the very early oh really Zack McCracken and the alien mind benders it's one of the very early Lucas Arts games and uh uh it's got just because the characters have big heads like like they did in Zack McCracken so reminds me of that uh yeah it's good it's funny it's it plays like you know plays like Monkey Island and and all those games you click on the words down the bottom of the screen for what you want to do like pick up open use and then you got your infantry and then click on what you want to do it to you can walk around and stuff it's cool right so cludes I'm just having a look at the Vive how much it costs oh yeah and then
USD to AUD that's that's not great at the moment that's that's it's really really bad what is it that's why I'm sort of happy I'm not going to America at the moment um but it's still going to be cheaper to get one over there it's $7.99 okay you so I he it be 1100 so I get one I get it sent to you and then you send it to me cuz your computer won't run it y just uh well why don't you order a new computer as well that will run it and I'll and get it sent here and then well once it gets here we'll we'll figure out what to do with it we'll figure out we'll figure out the next part once it's here and I'm using it just got a computer that can
run it fine so I don't see why I would yeah but maybe you could you want a cluster of computers I think I think that's you're going to need that for um the Vive so oh okay mhh so let's go with that cuz yeah the other thing is um it's also meant to work with the heat the Xbox Scorpio oh okay I thought the uh I thought they had some deal with oculus that the rift was going to be there well no I think it's always been cuz at the moment you can buy HTC V on the Microsoft store yeah and remember when they came out and they announced Scorpio and Fallout um Fallout 4 VR yeah um Bethesda is very much a HTC 5 oh yeah of course because they're suing um yeah
UL sowing Oculus so or Facebook who owns Oculus that's right y just done yep so just done a test y my computer will run it so yep I'm all good so yeah I'll just get it sent to you and you send it to me uh yeah all right cool yeah get it sent to me and we'll and then we'll figure out we'll go from there yeah yeah we'll figure out to do with it um some other news in this week that I discovered um we've talked about your dislike for not Xbox games before um and you prefer steam to good old games however good old games the Galaxy client which is like their version of the steam client now supports Cloud yeah hey come on I like good old games you shut up now supports no I like it
but it's just does it work yet it now supports Cloud saves uh which is a feature that people have been asking for and not with um all games like some of the not with any of the games but it supports it supports it with with games that add they can enable it for so some of the old dos games that you can purchase on there probably not going to work you don't need Cloud slaves for those games yeah exactly but pillars of Eternity uh supports it and uh same with um the B The Boulders Gate enhanced additions and that so yeah so that's that's good news and it's officially released too it was in beta for a long time the Galaxy client it's now officially released so um that is actually the reason why I was asking if
it works CU I got it very early on and it was just I didn't like it yeah yeah I no it was it was very rudimentary at first I liked it still because it meant I didn't have to log in and and download all the games individually it just let's let me install them but uh but Cloud saves was a big deal too because I I have um I wanted to get my saves synced between two computers but for pillars of Eternity uh but I didn't have a way to do it cuz I don't have it on Steam but so I was putting it in Dropbox and I have to like remember to do it and then you know copy them back and forth was paying the ass uh but now I don't have to do that it's nice works it's good sweet so yeah I mean I like steam
as well but the games on Gog are DRM free in case anyone's wondering which means like it's no copy you can share them with your friends it's not what it means it means you can back them up to share with your friends that's what drm3 is for sort of yeah there are why else do you need to not work why else do you not want the AR well because DRM breaks things look at games like um which which were the what was the Assassin's Creed game that uh I think it was Assassin's Creed that had to connect don't know play it on the Xbox I had to connect to Ubisoft in order for you to play it and then Ubisoft servers crashed and then no one could play the [ __ ] game so that's why you want DRM free games because dumb [ __ ] like that and
most of the time um there are bugs related to DRM too like you know games won't launch on certain hardware and stuff like that and often that's because of DRM uh and a lot of the fixes for those are to use some dodgy DRM removal tool and then oh look at that the game works then you can share it with your friends I don't care about that no I've grown out of that yeah we grew up and and we just buy our own games now the second I had money and it was also easy to get stuff I've stopped I haven't pirated a game in so long oh it's been over a decade like easy I don't even think about it anymore and I think maybe the last time you downloaded a television or movie that's a good point too I don't bother
with that much anymore I don't think I've done that in a year the last thing I downloaded least was an AFL game cuz I don't have can't watch it there no not easily there are like [ __ ] ways to do it and I'm I'm not doing that I can watch it on my phone not interested no yeah no I just haven't done any of that in years or a year actually I think the last game I pirated was uh South Park the stick of truth because I wanted the nonsens version yep and and not because I I bought the game but then I wanted to play yeah you just wanted to see that part of the so I played the I I downloaded the uh us version cuz I just played through the Stick of Truth again because I got it
free for pre-ordering um the fractured butthole yeah love to pronounce sense it again like how you pronounce it like butth hole even though I mean I know that's what it it's a it's that's why they ex exactly how they want me to say it I know I like how you not even entertaining the idea that it's but hole but hole Yeah ret butthole can't wait for that when's that out it got delayed again right it got delayed so there's no actual release at at the moment there's just a placeholder which says um December 31st that long oh that's just a placeholder date but it's not coming out till probably
October at the earliest I reckon wow which sucks cuz I just finished the first one and God that is is a great game it's very funny it's not long no but it's it's good it's not hard it's just it's like watching an episode it's not long and it's not hard that's Luke's motto yep 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
