And Then There Were Two: Baldur's Gate 3 HBO Series & New Xbox in 2027

All right, we're recording. Good morning. Good evening. I was a little jealous of your beard last week, so I actually went and trimmed mine and I think I did quite a good job. I did it all myself. Yeah, you're jealous of my you're jealous of my beard. My beard was getting very scruffy. Right, right. You know where it's coming out and it's sort of unmanageable. So I just trimmed and just gave it a little bit of shape that. Looks good. But I went kind of a bit too much here, annoyed by that.

But that's what happens when I do it myself. I can't be trusted with things like that. I'm always very conservative. When I'm trimming my beard, I become a Republican. Yep, you're righty. That's right, Dan's not here. No, and he won't be here. Yeah. So yeah. Welcome to multiple Nerdgasm, a comedy show about all things nerdy. He's retiring from the show. Yep. And you know, we respect his decision. I'm sure that's going to

disappoint some of you guys. I know because I've been told straight to my face that Dan was their favorite. Yeah, which? Hurts a bit when they tell me right to their face when I'm the only one there. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, so he's, you know, his life. Happy life. As I keep saying, life gets in the way of everything. Yeah, and we do have to record it very strange times in order to make this work. So yeah, maybe we'll drag him out of retirement one day. But yeah, for the moment.

Yeah, always welcome back. And yeah, hopefully we can keep every now and again. Yeah, we shall see. Special appearances. Yeah, what are we? But for now, he's. Dead 37. To us. We'll have him back for the seven hundredths. 707 hundred we're getting. Close how? Fast Did that happen? We're on 637 so. I know. Like bizarre. 7 hundredths next year, early next year. That's ridiculous. Ridiculous.

I will be at PAX East. That's the other announcement I have. I've it's confirmed now. I've received confirmation that I will be at East. So jealous. I think I'm going to have to come to PAX East one year because I need to see the difference between PAX Australia and PAX East now, because I've been to PAX East once, like, yeah, over a decade ago. It's changed since since you were there, because when we we came over there were a bunch of big, there's a bunch of big games showing and that kind of stuff and they don't so much

have that anymore. I'm sure. I don't know if Australia's the same. It's more indie than it was. Yeah, I think Australia's got the same, a lot more indie. The only real big Nintendo were there always with a big big. Store A Nintendo weren't at PAX last year, I wonder. I don't know if they'll be there this year, actually. You know, I should note this. I know that Xbox had a bit more of a presence issue than they norm or last year. Oh really? They normally because all showing off the new handheld.

Right, of course. I wonder if they'll be doing that then? I'm telling you what that handheld is amazing though. OK. They have not announced the the show floor stuff for Paxy so I don't I can't tell that. Yet. But I cannot speak more highly of that Rog LIX. It is amazing. You use yours a lot. I use mine every day at lunch. Yeah, right. And it runs games great. Yeah. And the battery's not I've. Got one job and that's it.

So. And by default I can set it up with Steam and everything. Yeah, right. It's just a button to hit. I hit steam and it'll open up steam for me. Yeah. So, OK, Yeah, but how much is it? That's the problem. It's it's, it wasn't as expensive as my last handheld. It's still expensive though, but highly worth it I say. That's fair. I mean, I've got the switch to, I'm loving the switch to. We've got some switch to news actually this week.

I'm very happy directed Nintendo Direct. Oh yeah, I've got some news out of it. Wait, what news did you get out of it? I've got out the date of when the next Final Fantasy 7 is coming out. Oh. OK, interesting. Because it's coming out at the same time as is on the Nintendo. On the on the Xbox. Yep. Yeah, right. Yeah. So we're getting some cool stuff on the switch to including Indiana Jones and which is was a

very good game, and Fallout 4, which is which is interesting. OK. I could maybe replay some of that stuff. I I need him to re release fallout 4 again for me to play. I need the achievements. Oh, I see. I'm like, the problem with the Switch traditionally is that they say the, oh, you know, X game is coming out on the Switch, and then it comes out and you look at it and you go, Oh, yeah, OK, I guess that's shaped like the game I played on the Xbox. And then I could just go back and play it on there's.

Always some compromise with the visuals or whatever. So I'm just curious how these are going to look or how the frame rate is going to be, I guess is the bigger issue a lot of the time. So we'll see. Like I've got No Man's Sky on Switch to and that's pretty good that the problem with that is the Nintendo I guess, don't push updates out as often. Oh, really? I'm not. I don't know the specifics but the the switch version is often behind the Xbox and PC. PC versions are right way ahead. Xbox is behind and then switches

way way behind. And if you want to do the cloud sharing between your consoles, which I do, then it fucks you up because you can't. You're safe. Oh that's that sucks because I don't like Xbox games and PC games. They update close to nearly every time I go to play with them somewhere. Right, Yeah. And I know Xbox is harder because I mean, what game was it? There have been games of where updates have gotten held up through approval because they've got to get through approvals.

Xbox. And I think the problem is that Nintendo does the same thing but Nintendo's. It's a lot slower at it. Yeah, that's my understanding of the issue. Yeah. Although. It's weird because Nintendo. Oh no. Or Sony that was releasing a lot of Crash, not Nintendo. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, there's some weird stuff on the Sony game store, actually, I've seen. What's this weird? I'm not going to be able to find it.

I'll have to wait a moment. Hang on. But remember, even just a few weeks ago, they got rid of like 1200 games or from the one publisher because they just were, I guess, vetting nothing that went on. OK, this game, I'm in love with your dead grandmother. You told us about that game. Yes, I reckon between you, me and then we could make that game. Yeah, that's very strange. Is that? Yeah, I think is this developer has a lot of games. No. Noah Small Johnson.

Noah Small Johnson. Yeah, there's this one here. Noah Small Johnson's puzzle game. I mean, this is all very strange. I'm. Trying to see who made I'm in love with your dead grandmother. I think it's that guy I'm in love with, your dear grandmother. OK, 'cause he made only two people made that. Yeah, OK. Him and the girl that are in it. So weird. Yes, and they've got other stuff. Like that?

Coming out very soon, they're just pictures and it's sort of like, it's like a, yeah, like one of those animated. Video. It's is that it's just still images, yeah. Oh geez. Oh no, no, there is video. There is some video but then but not a lot. I know there is a fair bit but it's not like a long game or anything. They've got another one coming out next week or something and I'm all in. OK. I don't know why, they just seemed fun.

What is it? Called very strange. Other Switch thing is that Valheim is going to be on Switch, which I like that game. I haven't played it in a game in a long time but I do like that game. So I saw it. I was like, oh, Valheim. Once I know I went to install it and I had to install some other third party launcher thing and then I never went back. Yeah. Have I played it on PC? I've played it on GeForce Now so I guess I don't. Didn't have to worry about. Didn't have to worry about that

and I've got an update on the game that I play on GeForce Now currently, which is June Awakening and that isn't chapter 3 of the game has come out. I don't have to pay tax anymore. Yes, you were telling me. Yeah, they've that's out now. It's all good. Lots of stuff's been updated. It seems like a really good update. They're improving the game people have. So I don't know if I talked about this. Apparently there was a massive influx of people when it launched and then it dropped off a lot.

And it I couldn't see that. That's the that's the way with a lot of big MMMORP GS. Like there's a right everyone wants to jump over, see what it is, and then they tend to just slip back to whichever MMO. People were worried because apparently the servers thinned out so much that it was like, are they going to keep maintaining this game if no one's playing it? And so now I, I mean, I've noticed it to this basis popping up everywhere. It's like pretty active. So what? Because one of the main things they added is, you know, the end

game content, which I'm one of those people who doesn't play often enough to ever usually find out what that even means. But there are people who slam their way through the game, people like you, for example, who'll just, yeah, tear through the game and then get to the end and be like, well, what do I do now? Fuck this game. Well, yeah, I'm I'm not one for grinding. Right. And that's the thing that always put me off like Wow, like the whole idea is you just keep playing the game and say missions over and over to get

pretty a year and then do it again. This is not quite like that. It's got a story, but so far it's got that and for somebody. Who? Plays more frequently and and more intensely than me. Maybe they run out of that too quickly. Whereas for me, it's like, well, I'm, I'm, I may never hit the end of that. Well, the good thing is they're gonna, by the time it gets to Xbox, it's gonna be, yeah, more story. Yeah, so I think they've had good booths for the last year. You've seen photos of big

Sandworm and everything, I'm sure. So hopefully they've got another one just because I like the booth, and then yeah, I'll go ask them. But. But now it's out, they might not. Yeah, exactly. Well, I I thought that about Boulder Skate 3, but they've had massive booths every year. Really. Yeah. Boulder Skate 30 Boulder Skate 3 News There's ATV show coming. Oh, you. Look. I I did see this and I think

they should make one slight change to it and not say it's a Boulder Gates three-game, a movie or TV show, whatever it is, it's a boulder skate TV show. Yeah, it shouldn't be based on three. Yeah. I think you're right. Based it on three you're just gonna upset everyone just. Because they're all set in the same world. You don't have to say Boulder Skate 3, It's just no or just it's just a Forgotten Realms TV show, which is, yes, the world that it's set in, Like just yeah.

So I think them saying Boulder Skate 3 is at the start is just trying to get people excited, but I don't think it's going to be based on the game because. It's going to have characters in it. You can't base it on the game. You can't call it Boulders gate three if it doesn't have shadow heart in it because I'm going to be upset if shadow art's not in it. That's but people are upset. They might do something different with Shadow Heart than you were trying to do. I doubt that mate. I think everybody was trying to do the same thing with shadow

art that I was the the the show is being done by Craig Mason, who did Chernobyl, the really good series Chernobyl. And he did. He's done a bunch of good stuff. He was in Mythic quest. He was in an episode of mythic Quest and he wrote one of the really good episodes of mythic Quest. But he also did the Last of Us TV series and apparently that's enough for people to be now like, oh, that guy, which surprised me because I saw Craig Mason. Everyone loves Craig Mason. No, apparently not anymore. I know that I thought the last

time our show started off good from what I heard and then people turned on it for some reason. Yeah, exactly. And I don't care about that. I've not, yeah, watched that, probably not go to. I don't know. I don't know why I just can't get into that fucking series at all, games or movies, but oh, TV series. But yeah, yeah. It's like people really did turn on it very quickly and were. Very like to the point where there was, I didn't put this article in here. I put the Dark Horizons one in

the Kotaku one. There was an article on Kotaku that basically the article was they're making a, a Boulders Gate 3 show, but they've picked the fucking worst person in the world to do it. And I was like, really? Craig Mason. All right. OK, I. Thought he was the golden child. Evidently not well from the stands for it. This is would be his last shot. That's what they're saying. How do you get a shot what they want? Something like that? At doing a polar skate show.

Yeah. Well, you you do Chernobyl and. Then you Why didn't they ask me? I'm not sure everybody's seen your Chernobyl mini series. It was very good. I liked it. Yeah. Best lost to the Sands of Time probably, but it was very good. I need to advertise more. Do you know what yours needed? Shadow heart. New shadow heart in it. Shadow Heart and that would have pushed it over the edge. Yeah, we're going to get someone's going to write in and be like fucking Shadow Heart. Each in our own actually.

I haven't actually met Shadow Heart in the game yet. I do have it on Xbox but I. Haven't met one of the first characters you meet in the fucking intro demo section of the game. Literally the first character you meet. I didn't make it that far. Right. I was in the thing, the thing crashed, I fought something and then that was it. Right. I really should go back to that. I spent a lot of money on that. It's a fucking good game. Yeah, I know people like Astarian, that's a that's the

vampire character. So it's not a spoiler because you find that out pretty quickly too. He's the second person you make. No, that's not true. Lazelle is the second person. Wait, which order is it? Shadowheart and Lazelle you meet on the Nautilus. I just like that you see the dice rolls actually happen, it's not just in the backgrounds. People that can't, I'm looking at, I'm looking at the characters in the game and they're all fucking good. It's it's they're. They were all made for people to want to have sex with them.

Yes. Yep. Yeah, it's, it's a, it's a horny game. Yeah, because it's Dungeons and Dragons. And you can do whatever you want in it. Dungeons and Dragons. You can have sex with a bear. Yes. It's a man who's a druid. Druid turns into a bear. Bear but you can do it while you but. Still, yeah. Which means he can give consent. Exactly. Yeah, Yeah, in a Gray area. No, just about turn into a bear

and I want you to fuck me. Yeah, it's really, I mean, that stuff aside, the game is just so incredible in the fact that you can do so many. Like, if you think of some weird fucking way to solve a problem, you could probably do it. It's like, so there's been things where I've tried stuff and it's worked and I've been like, holy shit, like how did they? Do that. It's so long on it. And that's what I said. Like do not be expecting Bottlesgate 4. Like this is not something you we're going to be able to churn

out yearly or anything because it is so in depth, Yeah. I told you my favorite bit. The main bit that made me love the game was that I told you about this with a Zig gnome tied to a windmill. Yes. The orcs have tied this gnome to the windmill and he's like, save me. And if you push the lever the wrong way, it speeds up the windmill and he just goes flying off into the distance. It's just like, holy shit. And then you can find his body later. I remember someone was playing it and the end cut scene turned

out to everyone were were cats because they had wild magic, they'd specialized in that and then at the ending it just went crazy and then the ending cut scene was just everyone were cats. That's awesome. Yeah. It's really, really good. I feel like just, yeah, it's one of those unique games that it's like it it, it was like a massive long thing and it worked. It just worked. And that's why, hey, you don't need to make everything multiplayer. Agreed, I think it has

multiplayer too though right? Oh did it had Co-op? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think it's a game really designed for that. No, no, no. It's you're supposed to. Yeah, but I think you're. Supposed to just try to have sex with all of the party members. That's that's how you're supposed to play. I think You don't want another actual person there. A game came out just this week, Highgard, which is just another. A lot about this. Yeah, it's just another multiplayer run around and shoot

people, grab loot type of thing. Oh really? It's just the same thing over. Isn't there like I don't understand this because I don't care about Overwatch but isn't there some big Overwatch update that everyone's like Overwatch is the best game ever again? Oh, is it? No, I haven't heard. I think Overwatch knows Overwatch 2 is just Overwatch again. OK. Oh, that, that would be old news. No, this is 2 days ago. What? No, because OK, they've dropped

the two. It's just Overwatch now Which? Is actually, which is what it actually should have been at the start because. It's yeah. It didn't actually. The game didn't change when they released Overwatch 2. In fact, it didn't even get a separate achievement list, so it's basically just a title update for the game. Oh, weird. Because I think originally Overwatch 2 was going to have a single player story and I'm going to do all this stuff and then they just went, no, it's just back to 5V5.

Keep doing the same thing over and opening those loot boxes. I. Don't care, I don't want to do that. No, I. Just don't get those games. I mean this is old man yells at Cloud. Yeah, it's just I don't understand I. Think the problem is is you need to spend a lot of time on them. They're not just logging like Halo. You can just log in, run around and shoot things fine. With Overwatch, you need to know which character, which skills you have, what other people on

your team are selecting. Yeah, you need to work together, but how do you can swirl around and shoot things? Yeah, yeah, they're not for me, but it is. I mean, there are things like Team Fortress. Team Fortress was funded play a little bit of, but yeah, I have. People get obsessed. Yeah. I like role-playing games, I guess. Still can't believe Counter Strike is going that's. Wild. I mean, we played a lot of Counter Strike. We did, but we, we, we were

playing it. It was a mod. Yeah, it's half it was. Just a mod for Half Life. It wasn't its own thing, it was just a mod. I'm not sure I've ever played the standalone Counter Strike. Like, I'm not thinking, I don't think I have either. I think I I've only played the mod when we're looking. Because that has like boxes and stuff now too, right? Counter Strike, Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's Counter Strike. That's that was one of the big. Games I. Played getting like a special

knife and all this stuff and yeah, no, there was no lead boxes or anything like that. It's just you did the map and then. You tried to play at the bomb and yeah, and you, yeah. And then you just kept playing. Yeah, forever and ever and ever until it was 6:00 AM and you're like, oh fuck, I was supposed to go to work today. And then forget which ashtray which can you'd been using as an ashtray, you take a. Sip Yeah. Oh, those were the days. Oh girl. Those were the days, yeah. Not once they saw how we lived

our lives. No, they had no interest at all. Brought one to one of our land parties once that didn't work out. No, no, really, you're going to let her play in everything. Yeah, she didn't want to. Can you believe it, listeners? She just said witnesses. Well, I'm going to go now. Yeah, Yep. And we played till 6:00 in the morning. Yeah, total annihilation I think, actually. I used to love Total Annihilation, especially when we had the rule like you got half an hour planning time, so it

wasn't like when I was one point which could be over quite quickly. So everyone having like a huge face. See, I'm atrocious at those games, real time strategy games, and I don't play them anymore as a result. But that was fun because we're all in the room together and like, yeah, yeah, it just became, it was fun because it was. It didn't matter that I was bad at it because I was just. We were just having fun and. It was fun and make fun of each other laughing. Yeah, and we're in the room.

It was sort of vibe was very different whereas like I think even if we played a game like that online, now it. Wouldn't be the same we're. Going to try and play something. We are, we should. We just need to plan what it is. Exactly. Should come in with a plan first. If you have any ideas of what you want to see me and Matt play, let us know. Yeah, yeah, gonna have if you want to see Luke dress up as Shadow Heart and we could play whatever that would be called. Yep, I'm up for that. I'm going to.

Etsy Luke's Gate 3. Sure, I'd get something made on Etsy for a few $100. The Switch 2 news, I remembered I was going to mention this before Borderlands 4 not coming to Switch soon because we talked about this thing the other week. It's got well, Randy Pitchford insists it does not have any performance issues. Everybody else insists it does, and apparently there's a way worse on the Switch too, so they've actually put that on hold. I have a different theory go on. My theory is the game didn't do that well when it came out and they just don't want to invest

any more money in it. That could be. I have not heard as much about it as I you know as previous Borderlands. Games, Yeah, it sort of just came out and then that was it. There was no real hype around it. Yeah, I, I mean, it's the fourth one, yeah. I think they missed their time in timing it up with the movie, so I think that they may have rushed it a little bit. They. Missed a lot of the mark with the movie to be honest. And that's why I think they were trying to rush this out a little

bit more to go forget about the movie. Here's here's another game. And I think, yeah, I think the reason they just don't want to invest more money into it because it didn't make as much as soul planning. Yeah, yeah. I mean that. Could be true the the audience for it isn't really going to be Nintendo players. No, no, it's APC game almost. Like, yeah, yeah, the. Reviews aren't good either for Borderlands 4. It's got three stars. It's like, yeah. Steam Wilson too.

I don't even think I've finished. It I forgot it came out. Well, yeah, there was no real fanfare for it leading up to it or anything. Yeah, mixed reviews. Jeez. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not looking good. That's a shame. Yep. So, yeah, So that's why that's that. Those reviews. That's my theory. Why not? Coming, that could be true and

why and and considering to the performance issues, let's say it does have performance issues. You combine those two things then. Yeah, that means. Well, let's not invest in that then, yeah. To fix those performance issues is time and money, and why would you waste that when we can work on the next thing? Yeah. Which I think the next thing for them is another Gears of War. For 2K or? For Gearbox. Gearbox is Gearbox doing that? I don't know anymore. Well, that's right, no,

Microsoft owned Gears of War, don't they? Yeah, I don't know what Gearbox. Gearbox Publishing owns a lot of stuff, but they don't make those. What does Gearbox make these days? Games. Borderlands. Our home world. Love home world you can they can't really claim home world still that's. Well, they can't. They bought it like Pennantella VR. That's that's because of Brandy and them being friends. Yeah.

For sure. Get before EDA I think is the next one. Generally played the Gears of War. Oh yeah, it is like the studios and the coalition. So yeah, they have sold that off. OK, well on the subject of games, GTA 6 still coming in November. Finally. It's a long way away, but. Getting closer pretty quickly. We're already in the February, yeah. But the thing I thought was interesting only because I think you've mentioned before that

you're like, why do they even need to advertise this? Yes, right, Everybody knows. But they've said they've got some massive marketing campaign coming. And they said specifically, you're going to be amazed at how creative they've been coming up with this shit. And so I was like, why? They could just get any streamer anywhere, just announce it on the YouTube, which gets millions of views. The second they release a trailer. Your marketing's done. I. Feel like you don't even have to

do anything. Just put the fucking game out and it markets then, you know, everybody knows. But yeah, you know, they don't want to risk that. And. And then what is the quote exactly? Something about I think I think you'll be pretty astonished by the creativity that Rockstar's marketing team brings to consumers in the coming months. The fuck does that mean? Because I even remember they spent a lot of advertising on five, like that was a big chunk of their budget. Yes.

Are they advertising 4 on these on these games? But for six, they don't need it. Like if I go onto YouTube now and look at the the latest trailer. They don't need it, but like, I mean, surely they've done the math and they're like, if we spend this, it'll be worth it. You would think. Be quiet, all right? Yeah. Sorry, YouTube was yelling at me. Rockstar. You feel the silence while you're typing them. All right, not coming up GTA6 trailer 2, the second trailer

from Rockstar Games. I know. Yeah, Rockstar Games. Yeah. Second trailer. What the? Where is it? We're six. What are you releasing so much? Where is this? Where? They can market this all they want, I'm still not going to play it. I'm still going to play the hell out of it. Yeah, I. Don't know, I can't fight or even on their side, I can't see it, but I know it's going to be

a lot. Oh, here it is. Yeah. So the the second trailer, their first trailer got 273 million views. Wow. And their second trailer got 150 million views. Yeah. Like the views are already there. That's all they need to do. Every single news source is going to pick up on it. Everyone's going to tweet, sing, talk, I. Don't know, but I feel like it's the same with movies, Like a certain movie comes out and

you're like, well it markets itself but they still do it so. I think movies are for cinema releases. I think they need to still do a lot more marketing. Maybe. There's some stuff where I go, oh, I would have liked to have seen that but didn't hear anything about it. So I think you believe these need to. Indiana Jones, right? They didn't really need to market Indiana Jones to the scale that they did. No, people, people who wanted to see that knew it was coming out, yes, went to see it, right.

Well, I don't know, maybe this maybe there's an argument that like there's people out there that just for some reason don't know Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming. And then if they don't market it, you know? I'm pretty sure they'll find out about it. Because then, like, if you're a GTA fan, right, they don't do any marketing, Sure you'll buy the game, but if they do these stunts and like you get all frothing at the mouth about it, maybe that is better for them. Maybe I think if. You tell all your friends that you might not have told, even

though they probably already know about it. You know what I think it might be to make stockholders happier. Probably. Like, look at all this. Look at all this support we're getting. Look at all the. Money, I think look at all the hype yeah don't don't worry even though we've. Spent the. Money. On the marketing that we just did, yeah. That's my theory now. I just don't care about GTAI don't know why I can't get. Into it, that's just straight

because it's I actually do enjoy. I've played it a few Times Now. Yeah. Because I've played it on 360, I've played it on the Xbox One, I've played it in the Series XI, played it on PC, and each of them, I played it a couple of times on them because there's the normal version and then it's the enhanced version. Yeah, this is 5, right? 5 Yep, yeah. I just couldn't get into it. I tried it's that's not interesting to me. I don't know why. What I should make is another LA Noir.

Yeah, I couldn't get super into that either. I'd liked Red Dead. I never finished it. It's two. I finished one. I never finished two. I'd like to play more than like GTA. I'm. Playing one again at the moment as well just. Yeah, because they remastered. It right? Yep, I just finished Undead Nightmare on the PC. Yeah, OK. And now I'm playing it again on the Xbox. Yeah, it's a good game.

But you can see that you can see a lot more. There's a lot more to do in two. Yeah. A lot more different random encounters. The random encounters in one are all pretty much the same. Yeah, OK. But with the random encounters in two, you can see they've put a lot more work into it. OK. And then focused on the stupid online. Well, I mean, people seem to have fun with that, we say. Stupid. It's my FIFA6 as well that yeah, they're going to try and get the

online out as quickly as possible actually. That's the whole thing I because, you know, we talked about the other week, there was the they were cracking down because people were remaking the Charlie Kirk thing in in fire in GTA5. I didn't even know you could do that. But like, yeah, like. I knew you could make you could. Make missions. I didn't know you could play missions like that. On I knew you could make your own own, like racing maps and stuff, like with the stunt races and things like that.

I knew you could do that, but I didn't know you could make your own missions. That's crazy that you can just do all this weird shit in there. And be a horrible person while doing it. Yeah, you don't have to be. But you sure could probably. You could probably go in there now and still find it was a version of. Yeah, they use anyway. Yeah, there was some. Some code. Word they were using. Around it. Stupid. The Switch is the Nintendo's best selling console ever.

That's the other switching use just to get that out of the way. Officially I think it's the best selling console ever, which I think surpassed the the DS or 3DS or one of those. Oh, OK. The handhelds have been very, you know, very popular obviously over the years and this is the most popular one, most best selling one I should say. Yep, I still call it bullshit. And the most sold game? Remember when Wii Sports was the game that they classified as the most sold game which it just came free with the Wii? Like yeah, that doesn't count. That doesn't count.

No. No, I agree with you there. Because you didn't actually buy the game, you brought a console. Correct, and it happens to be honest. Like if you know Alex Kidd, Miracle World was the top selling CE game. No, it's just shoved into every console. And I loved that game. I watched a video of that game and I was like, oh God, like. It's not going to be what I remember. It doesn't hold up, no. That's a shame because I really did love that game. Yeah, when I was growing up,

like I used to know had a sheet because you know how you get to the bosses and you have to play paper, scissors, rock? Yes, I had a sheet written down that had. If you get them all, they're all the same. The first time you guess. Yeah, so it's but you get one wrong. So I had the list of who Rock Hills paper and just could go through and then just could do it by memory to to an extent. Yeah. Couldn't not do that now. I feel like the thing I remember most about it is I remember the very first bit where you're

dropping down, you know, as the birds and all that, as the very first part of that game. And then also I remember that I think it's the very end of the game where you've got to swim into the castle and there's all spikes everywhere. And those are the two things I remember the most. But then when I, like I said, when I see videos of it, I'm like, Oh my God, it's so janky. Like, but I and and like, I'm sure the controls are atrocious and Oh yeah, spent so many hours playing that shit. Because there's a crappy D pad that you're playing with and you save up your money to buy it.

So. So you get the motorcycle which you crash all at most immediately. You should be back to walking again. Yeah, Tim, it's, I mean, kids these days don't know the kind of shit we put up with with games. Especially because this if you died, that was it. You had your life. You had a. Couple of continues. And then that was it. There was no just going back to the start of the game, no. Yeah, back to the start of the whole fucking game and not even

one of those old games that had codes where you could put the code. In too. It's just that's it. You're starting again. The worst defender for that, which I understand why was so the Atari links, which you have. You have my Atari links and you have my copy of this game, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure on Atari Links, which is a game I really liked, but there's no save on the Atari links. No. No save at all. You can't save a game. It's not a thing that you can do on that console is save a game.

You play it and then if you turn it off, you play from the start again next time you turn it on. That's how it works. And to get around that Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, you can have this massive fucking 64 character, I forget how long it is, code of letters and numbers. And if you write that down and then type it back in there with the fucking D pad and clicking things, it will theoretically. Take you to where you were the the. State and but like Jesus, that's dire, especially if you're on the bus and you're like, oh, this is my stop. If you're right down this

fucking 64 code thing like come on. I still don't know how the Atari Lynx was beaten by the Gameboy. Batteries cost. I think that's really what games batteries cost. Games that. Is so much better all all the. Atari. Stuff. Back then, like the Atari Jaguar, they just went too hard on. Like yes it is superior, but you don't have the content. Yes, and and if you don't have if you don't have the people buying it, then you don't have anyone trying to make game for

it, because why would you waste time in making something, reporting something to it that. Nintendo just got it right with the compromises like like even the Game Gear right? The Atari links in the Game Gear were better. Yeah, Like, you can't argue, right? They were better. They were colour. They had backlights. They played like the Game Gear literally played Master System. Yeah, but you get the adapter and plug it in, and I've still got that around here somewhere. And you could play that for an hour until the batteries ran out

and. The Game Boy would run out. Yeah, the Game Boy you could play for like 6 hours, yes. Yeah. And yeah, you just if you wanted light or a magnifying glass, you have to buy the adapter. But yeah, black and white and till the Game Boy Colour came out, I. Always wanted that, never had a Game Boy. You had ADS? Oh, yeah, later, that's when I had I had a job, yes. So I had Game Boy came out when? I was at school, I think I had a Game Boy Advance. I have one right now.

It still works. It's in there and he's. Played Advanced Wars on it. Advanced Wars, Yeah. Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, the two Zelda games that are on Gameboy Colour. Played those on my Gameboy Advance. Actually, it's Dave's Gameboy Advance that I have. Oh, you just stole it from him. I was gifted it I believe is. We'll go with that, are we? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, we used it in a film. And you just held on to it. It's a film. It's some fucking stupid thing We may call Jab Jab Russian

Betrayal, which you've seen. Yeah. Witnesses. You will not be seeing you. Will not be seeing. It wait, I've got a clip of it up before the clip where I've got the guns and I shoot myself. Yes. Yeah, that movie. Witnesses. There's a lot of stuff we filmed that you'll never see. Oh yeah. Ever. No, no, that's the thing we used to do. There wasn't a lot to do in Penrith. In the 90s before YouTube, which

is probably a lucky thing. Yeah, because otherwise it would be on YouTube and we wouldn't be able to say you're never going to see that. No, because it'd be out there for everyone. This is back when we used to have to share stuff on VHS. Yeah, if you wanted a copy of it. Yeah, it was filmed on Mini DV, most of it think, and then edited on, mostly on Dan's iMac I think, and then later on my G4 Mac. The other end of what we capture is because we don't have the license to the music we used. No, definitely not.

And we always certainly infringe copyright from certain other aspects as well. Oh yeah, yeah. Just the point. It's out there, witnesses. It is. It's not out making it. It's not out there. It's on my file server downstairs and it's not getting off that. But we had fun making it. That's all you need to know. Yeah, I fond memories of of, of all that stuff. Yes, yeah, wish we could do it again. Stupid life. Yep, look, I've got some

exciting news for you. The CEO of AMD says. I don't know if he was supposed to say this, but he has said new Xbox 2027 on track on track for release next year. That's exciting. Yep, I think this was in the context of the Steam Machine being discussed. So, but there's so there's a memory crisis at the moment. Yes, because of AI. Yeah, so. So the Steam Machine is delayed, and apparently that might delay other things too. Maybe. This Xbox AI is stealing all of our memory.

Yeah, I keep on Instagram Reels. I it knows what I like. It's stupid AI videos of like someone diving off a diving board into an empty pool and like splatting and then getting up and running off. And it's like caption is This is why Ram is so expensive right now. And there was one of like, it's it's like a highway and all these cars and like a woman riding past on a pig. It's like, This is why Ram is so expensive. And I'm like, yeah, but it's look at this video. It's great. So yeah, no, don't.

I'm not buying RAM anytime soon. And yeah, and that is actually going to increase the cost of any. Ram's inside stuff I buy so I guess I am but. Yeah, but I mean like it's going to greatly increase the cost of any consoles coming out. Yeah, future. Yeah. I wonder if it's going to be a new new Xbox or just like a mid X generation upgrade pro or? Something. Wait, do they already do that? Do I have the best Xbox Series X? And I don't. Think there's a better one now?

They did release one that was sort of sparkly, I think, but I don't think it was sort of that much different. Yeah, I think, oh, they released one that had like a bigger hard drive, alright. That was like 2 terabyte. Yeah, because it's the PlayStation 5 Pro. Yeah, which is which is better hardware? I don't think there's a better Xbox. Hardware. No, no. So maybe this might just be that. See how old I am? I don't even know now.

Before you would have been all over this. Yeah, we don't know the best. Xbox maybe? It works. Yeah, it does. That's all you need to care about. Maybe it does. I haven't turned it on. It might work. I've played things on here. Now I've become APC gamer accidentally because of Dune and a Switch gamer because of Animal Crossing. Oh yeah. How's that going? Still fights. My daughter is a hoarder, so

we've got this. My whole family's on the island. Yep. And it's basically I had to put up a fence and I've told her keep your shit on your side of the fence because she just puts shit everywhere on the island. And I mean whatever. Is she sticking to the rule though? Staying away from. Yeah, yeah. No, she's very good. She's very good. She's just, yeah, she's funny. So what she calls, she wants to do everything like. Yep. Everything's fun and exciting

and needs everything. And she goes so she the other day she's plays. I don't even play this game at all or I. Played it but a very long time ago. Did you play the DLC? God no. Yeah, OK, so the the Animal Crossing New Horizons DLC new for what's it called? Happy home? No, whatever it's called. Yeah. You get a job, you go design vacation homes for people. So basically the the way it works is you go, you go to work, there's people hanging out

there, you go talk to them, they go, I want a vacation home. These are the things I like. And then you, you make that, you put all the furniture and design it and all that kind of stuff, put a wallpaper, all that kind of shit. And it's like, you know, I want a, a cosy reading spot. And so you've got to put like you put bookshelves and you you kind of match it to what they. Want. Do you actually have to do that or no? As I learned from the way my daughter does it, which is she does the bare minimum where it'll tell you these are the

three items this person wants in the room and she just shoves those in a corner. And then she literally made one where she put up like it was a prison. It was like like grating and like shoved this guy in the corner and like fenced him in because he was walking around the room. She's like, get over there, put him in the corner, fenced him in like 5 toilets over there. Like all this weird shit. She's like look. And I was like, Oh my God, it's like 500 fans on the roof all going. The.

Weirdest thing you've ever seen. And then she goes done. And then he. And then it does this montage where the the character walks around and goes because they love their house so much. And I'm like, this is hilarious. Yeah. So no, as long as you hit certain. Those. Requirements. Yep, they'll just doesn't care. They'll love it, yeah. Because you know, I'll be all. That though. I'll just put in those three things and that would be it. Yeah.

And because Jenna isn't playing it, too, and she's like, oh, man, I always like try to make him look nice. And I'm like, I wonder if this will pass. It will pass. It will pass, Yeah. He. Did my parents literally locked a man in prison and he loved it? It's fine. Oh that's still that's so sweet that you're all playing the same. It just sucks that you can't share it though. Like a cross. No, but because it's on the switch, you kind of can sit

together and do stuff. And it's like, no, it's, it's, yeah, it's fun. It's been good. And it's like it's oh, there's a thing, too. I said it's a stupid question because she was in the middle of playing it. And I said, oh, what does he want for his vacation? And she goes, I don't know, I can't read. Good point. Good point. Yeah. So she she has no idea what they want. She's just. No, because they do give you a

little rundown. She can just see the highlighted items, which is she knows she's got to put those in, and then she does whatever the fuck she wants after that. Yeah, and you just forgot that she couldn't read and. Then every now and then she'll go, Dad, dad, what does this say? Because she's cottoned on to the fact that something important is happening. And then you tell her she goes, oh, OK, cool. I'm being scammed for more money, aren't I? Yeah, Tom Nook, actually, she is jealous that Jenna and I both

have bigger houses because she's just not doing any of that stuff. You know, you pay him off and he builds your house bigger and all that kind of shit. She's not doing any of that so. Yeah, Does she know she's meant she's being because. She wants self ignoring it. She just puts them out in her fucking yard. She catches a fish. Fish tank goes in the yard. It's her stuff. And I'm like, you should sell that stuff to to Tommy and Timmy. And she's like, no, that's my fish.

All right, fine. You're getting a bigger house then. No, Nope. All right. No, I recommend. It's good. I probably won't get back into it. I wouldn't. Have thought you even play your switch? No, no, the last time I played it was when we were in France. Wow, yeah. That was, we were brought extra controllers and Mario Party just for that. Yeah, that's a long time ago. Yes.

When the fuck was that? 2019. OK, I was going to say you knew. Because it was 7. Years ago it was. Just before the world caught on fire. That's right. But remember when I remember flying out and hearing rumours on the news about this cold symptom start starting to spread a little bit, Then we got back and then it was a few months after that that it the world went, oh, that's. Right, because you went to Scotland afterwards and we went to, we went to Germany. But yeah, that was just the

start of the pandemic is when, yeah, we were there. Wow. So we planned that at a very good time. Disneyland in Paris. God, that's the worst Disneyland. It is the worst. I I thought people were joking when they said like. I mean, it's not like it's still good, but comparatively it's bad. Yeah, and I thought it was just a joke, but no, they the staff members aren't as nice as. No, they're French. Yeah. This is not it doesn't have

that, you know, suck up. You can do no wrong thing that Disney usually has. They're a bit like, no, no, no, fuck you. I mean, rightly so in some cases. But yeah, normally at Disney you can just make weird demands and you know. Which I've never made any weird demands, but just I've always had Donald directions to be nice. So I just want to meet Donald. That's all I need. You just need Donald. I'm happy. We did look into how much it would be for us to go to Disney,

and we've determined that it's going to be enough, that we're going to wait until Lira's a bit older. OK, Yeah, because you want to get the most out of it. Yeah. And it's like, so even just so the cost of going and getting in right is one thing, but then then you have to go in the lines. So there's more cost associated with like trying to skip the lines. But then apparently that's just baseline now if you don't buy the Fastpass, like Fastpass is what no pass was, you know, 10 years ago.

And then, yeah, So I don't know what the equivalent of actually Fast Pass is now. Like if you're at Fast Pass, you just one ride a day, apparently. Oh, that's because. You just wait. God, I remember when we went to this, when we went, we got basically went on every single ride because we. Did because? Single rider and we didn't give a fast A. Single rider or you would get a a pass for. Being a cripple. For being a cripple, yeah, basically. But the amount of people who

went on a single rider line and then would see that you should know me, the people who go on the single ride line and they go, oh, I want to go with my friend and so like. No, that's not the. Single rider line. Yeah, because when Jenna and I have been, we've done that too, single rider line. But if we go with Lira, we. Can't do that. We're going to be in line, so yeah. It's going to be a lot of standing around, figure, all that. I remember when the when Dan and Dave and I were at Universal in

California, they had just brought out their equivalent of fast past whatever it was, and no one was doing it. And so it was literally we would walk up to a ride and go in the express lane or whatever the fuck it was called. I can't remember, but just walk onto rides like past all these families. And I felt bad because there were these big lines of all these kids and the kids. And you're walking past ride second or third time. Yeah, exactly. It's like, fuck you guys. I felt bad. You do feel kind of bad, but

then I think my time's worth it. Yeah. And I do have to spend money, yes, like to get that so. But yeah, I'm very impatient and I will pay extra for what I'd love to do is have go out and do that like super expensive $7000 a person ticket where you basically get, you get escorted around. Oh, right. So and you just walk up to the rides, but I think it's, I think it's like 7000 and you've got to have like a minimum of 5 or 10 people with you. You're at 7000 each and. They just push everyone out of the way.

Yeah, let you on. Amazing. But I need to win Lotto for that. Yeah. Go on then I might invite you. I would appreciate it if you did. We need to go on the Star Wars ride four times. I've never done that. I've never done that right. Because I want to do the pilot, the navigator, the gunner, and there's another job I need to do all of them. The janitor. The janitor? Yep. You have to unclog the toilet

after Chewie's used it. Yep, I I still think you've. Also, I still think you've. Once I get there and I get the seated milling Falcon, I think I will still cry. So you can get life-size. Yeah, yeah. I think I still like Star Wars, just a different version of Star Wars. I know you like you like a Star Wars that doesn't exist anymore. Yes, yeah, I like is it, is it legacy or is it? Yeah, legacy, Legacy. Sure. Legacy. Old. Man, Star Wars, Yes.

Yeah, No, I know, I know. We don't have any Star Wars news this week, do we? No. What else we don't have? This is after party related. No one died as far as one. Died again. Catherine O'Hara took the wind out of everybody's steam, everybody's sails. As far as death goes, they were just like, no, not this week. Not this week. Oh, hold on a little bit longer. We've got some Olympics news do you want to hear about? I have actually already annoyed about the Olympics. Go on, Winter Olympics is on in

Italy. I know I didn't know this until I logged onto YouTube today and then there was all on my top recommended thing was all this sports stuff and I'm what the hell is this? And then I found out Olympics is good. The Olympics is on. Wait, do I get that? What's mine? No, mine's just all the same shit I always see. Yeah, mine, mine just the top bar for some reason was just all sports and. Yeah, car rebuilding, if anyone's interested, in case you thought it was something weirder

than that. Car rebuilding, tech stuff, people playing survival games. That's what I watch on YouTube. Oh, something that has just popped up and I don't know where this came from, is armoured MMA. Armoured MMA. So basically they're like full armor, hitting each other with axes and swords and. Wow, AMA axe fight. Yep. A brutal cage fighting sport that mixes steel weapons and armor into the world of mixed martial arts that seems. Cool, that came from nowhere, but I watched a few of them but for the most part what's on

there is just frauded. Our First Amendment order of stuff. Flat Earth stuff. God, how did that come up? The other day? I can't remember. Something came up and I was like, oh, this is a sovereign citizen thing, but it was in a context where I couldn't be like, oh, I know what this is. I can't remember, Maybe it's at work or something. The Olympics news that I have here is that it's Dick news, actually. They they still trying to get the Olympians not to have sex. No, it's that apparently the ski

jumpers are injecting their Dicks to increase the size of them because it gives them an advantage, right? Apparently. So here's the This is the article from Aztecnica. As the 2026 Olympic Winter Games begin today, news articles are swelling with juicy claims that male ski jumpers have injected their penises with fillers to gain a flight advantage as a rumor. As the rumor goes, having a bigger bulge on a required 3D body scan taken in pre season could earn jumpers extra centimeters of material in their jumpsuit and more surface area

to glide to the gold. Oh. OK. Yeah, I can see. That a small increase can make a difference. So apparently they've been injecting their Wang to make it bigger. And how do you test for that? Well, I don't know. And is that illegal? I don't know if it's against the. It's not a good idea though, apparently. I think it's. Yeah, I, I because I have seen people who have read stories of people who have injected that

and injected their balls to be massive for some reason. We talked about this on the show, didn't we? Yeah. The guy who died as a result. Yeah. Doing that too much or something? Kept doing it and doing it, but yeah I doubt getting uncomfortable. Just talking about it. But I doubt this is against the rules yet. It, I'm sure it will be. Yeah. And this article then goes on, turns into a list of things that you could inject in there, which

is very funny. It's like hydro hyaluronic acid, which is, I've heard of that. It's the thing you put on your skin. I think for like to make your skin smooth. People who injected like oil. What's the saying? Paraffin like paraffin wax, like, that's not a good idea, is it? But I mean, this doesn't seem like a good idea at all. No, but they'll do. Unless your only goal is to do better at the Olympics, maybe then it makes sense on paper. But. Injecting oil, commonly known as

synthol or site enhancement oil into the arms is a dangerous, non functional and purely cosmetic practice designed to create the illusion of larger muscles. Oh, so simple. So you just pump it in there and it looks like you've got muscles when you do it. That's. I mean, I think that's weird, but Oh well, Yeah, well, make you. Stronger probably actually makes you weaker. Really. Right. Because in my head, you're carrying around extra weight.

That's not. That's not. Functional. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, no, I, I don't think I'll be doing that. So I guess I'm going to lose at the ski jumping at the Olympics this year. Yeah, yeah. You. Were going to compete though until we realized you were up against these cheetahs. Yep, and I just if I'm showing my bulge, I'm just showing the bulge I got. Yeah, yeah. Well, maybe that's what I'm

trying to. Maybe it will give you the surface area advantage. I just cut it. Oh. Big mistake. A big mistake. So you don't like you don't like the Winter Olympics? I don't. Winter Olympics is better than the summer. I do think the Winter Olympics is better than this summer, but I don't watch any of the Olympics. No, I don't really either. I'm just happy that there's remember when you we were young and when any of the Olympics

were on a Commonwealth Games, That's all you could watch on television. Yeah. And how it's a very depressing time. Yeah, yeah. Because in Australia when Sydney when we were growing up, there were four channels and then later on five, I think right, there were only four at 1st and. Then it was ABC channel 7, channel 9 and channel 10. Yeah, and SPS. But SPS was hardly true channel but it was sometimes hard to tune in. But yes, it was the tits shadow. Yeah, because they played

international stuff and if you stayed up late and you, you. Might get to see. Maybe you might get to see some tits in a French. Movie, it was like, yeah, it was always a gamble. Yeah, yeah, because it was, whatever the movie it was, it was going to be boring, yes, but it might have tits in it. It was going to be boring. And in French. Yes, that might have tits. Yeah. So occasionally it paid off. But yes, when the Olympics were on, that's all that was on. Yeah, now I didn't even know the Olympics were on until YouTube

showed me some I. Didn't know the Olympics were on until I saw that people were injecting their Dicks. So there you go. That's how times have changed. Oh, I do need to ask you a question. Go on. Has your Trump phone arrived? Not yet no, I'm I am waiting. I've got I'm holding off on upgrading my iPhone as a result. Yeah, we we do now have our first look at the Trump phone. I don't know why this is a thing. I do know why, but but it is a thing. The Trump phone I'm.

Just looking at the picture now, it looks horrible. Yeah, it's like gold with the American flag on it. And apparently it won't have the the T1 logo, but I guess does that. I don't know if it's still going to have that little that flag. Flag. On there, I mean it's. The cameras look. Weird, I don't understand this. He's all renaming things after him, or he wants things to be renamed after him. It's all just very like, what are we doing? Oh, I know, and just remind me, last week he asked if the

documentary about his wife was in Australia. Oh yeah, I did find out it was playing at some cinemas. OK, not a lot. And I think it may like for each screen it made about $900. Oh wow. I think in total was about $25,000 Australia wide. Big win. But we're, we're, we're not the target audience for it, no. No, no, no. I don't know who is the tiger wins for that. I don't know who's the Tiger wins for this Trump phone either, I mean. I do.

Yeah. Yeah, Trump phone people who are outside protesting. I just I wouldn't trust a Trump phone. Trump has made a lot of money by being president. He's got this going out. He had his Trump coin. What do they know about? Making phones. What kind of phone is this even was? It making an American phone. There's so many questions. What is this? Is this an Android phone? Like I can see that it's gold, but what is it? It looks like it's got the

screenshot makes it look like an A screenshot. The render makes it look like it's got iOS on it, but that can't be the case. Doesn't make any sense. But no, a lot of people are still waiting for it. I guess it's an Android phone, I don't know. OK, yeah, the T1 logo will be gone, but the American flag at the bottom will remain, as will the gold finish. Anyway, whatever. Oh, so yeah, it does look like it was made in China. Of course it was. We can't make these things. Here, yes.

That was a fantasy. It's an Android. Yeah, OK. Yep. What? What? What is the point of this? Whatever. For him to make money. Yeah, well, yeah. Or even just to have his name on things, Yes. So anyway. I'm sure yours will arrive soon though. Yeah, yeah, of course. I'm sure we'll all be issued 1. Yes, yeah, should get one with your yearly gun. So it will be issued one and

we'll be required to use that instead. Yes. Yeah, I'm sure that is eventually what what they want to happen. Yeah. Look, we're gonna we're gonna have to end the main show here. We are.
