1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,760 Let's talk about rumors, let's talk about inside baseball, some 2 00:00:02,760 --> 00:00:07,000 stuff about reviews and cover this week's gaming news for the 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,920 next couple days. Welcome to the side podcast with 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,680 ACG. Let's begin. 5 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,840 First thing I want to talk about now is. 6 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,000 The GTA6 rumors. So there were some rumors that 7 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,560 pre-orders were going to start today as well as a price 8 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,080 announcement. So basically, you know, 9 00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:24,960 obviously you wouldn't be able to do a pre-order without a 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,120 price announcement. Otherwise that's just basically 11 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,600 running out into your front yard and screaming I really want GTA. 12 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,760 But there was supposedly going to be this release. 13 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,800 There was some information from a Best Buy supposedly we were 14 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,960 talking about it a couple days ago and chat trying to figure 15 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,040 out if it was real or what exactly it was. 16 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,400 Especially now when we're looking at them starting their 17 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,600 roll up for the PR, there's the discussion of will this happen 18 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,600 prior to the PR big rollout that they're doing in June and July 19 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,360 that they've talked about or is it going to happen afterwards 20 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,600 when they announce the price? You know, you do a couple 21 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,800 trailers, you get people interested, then you throw that 22 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,760 pre-order up, it's a little easier to sell. 23 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,440 I think in all honesty, it actually makes sense that if 24 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,040 this game was going to be normal price, they might have actually 25 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,720 announced the pre-orders and the trailer on the same day. 26 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,440 Might do that, you know, next couple weeks or they could have 27 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,960 done it today. But I think that if we are going 28 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:19,520 to see an 80 ninety, $100 price point on this game, it actually 29 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,640 would make a great deal of sense to do a trailer or two prior to 30 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,400 sort of get people primed and really excited for it. 31 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,040 And then looking at that game, you know, it was brought to my 32 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,560 attention that Nintendo's tried the $80 one or two companies 33 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,840 have tried to sort of scrape that price a little higher out 34 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,640 of Worlds 2. If you remember, they were going 35 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,720 to raise the price of that game and then they were like, now 36 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,480 we're going to remove that and put it back down at that lower 37 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,360 price. Yeah. 38 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,600 I don't think that's too crazy to do a trailer or two and then 39 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,280 do that price and do that pre-order. 40 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,840 But we we just have no clue exactly what they're doing. 41 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,120 And I think when you look at it, they've always been somebody who 42 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,600 beats to their own drum. They do something completely 43 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,120 different. This is why whenever anybody 44 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,760 says, oh, GTA is going to be at this Game Awards or this or 45 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,520 this, and they don't realize that GTA is bigger than The Game 46 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,920 Awards. A single GTA trailer dwarfs The 47 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,280 Game Awards by an incredible amount. 48 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,080 Maybe not by total watchers across the world with streamers 49 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,440 and all that stuff, but definitely on the live views and 50 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,720 on the views, that kind of thing. 51 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,320 And they just it, it just doesn't make sense. 52 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,000 Why share with anybody else and especially pay or even get paid 53 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,920 in a way where you know that people are there maybe not to 54 00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:29,200 see your game, maybe they're there to see a ton of other 55 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,280 games and they're not necessarily Agta fan and you 56 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,240 have to share with somebody. But if you do it on your own 57 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,760 channel, you know that that's the thing. 58 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,600 You know that those people who are watching that distinctly are 59 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,360 either interested in it or interested in the discussion 60 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,520 around it. So I wouldn't doubt if we see 61 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,800 something like that now the price points come up a couple 62 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,960 times. You know 100 bucks, 100 bucks 63 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,880 still seems pretty outrageous to me. 64 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,160 But we did see Forza do the premium and sell incredibly 65 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,560 well. Forza also, you wouldn't be able 66 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,160 to do this with a lot of games. I think Forza is one of the few 67 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,160 games that you can do this, especially when you. 68 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,840 Look at how. Horizon has just continued to 69 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,320 advance overall and do better and better. 70 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,080 You know, there's been a couple that have maybe not done as many 71 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,600 sales as another, but it's a very large game. 72 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,400 It's a very popular game and it's a game that I would say for 73 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,760 casuals as well as hardcore, as well as just people who like 74 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,480 normal racing Sims, open world graphics. 75 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,280 It really has sort of the whole gamut to it. 76 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,600 And so the idea that you might be able to do something like 77 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,840 that with a premium pops up and then you look at GTA and you're 78 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,800 like, OK, are there some similarities we can draw? 79 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,280 And certainly you can draw some similarities here where at least 80 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,760 when it comes to how people and the groups of people who would 81 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,720 want to play this, where you have a game that's going to 82 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,400 offer you, you're shooting, you're driving around, possibly 83 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,880 flying, all those kind of things, your open world, your 84 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,040 excellent graphics, as well as just being Agta game, You know, 85 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,320 can they do something like that? Do they need to package a 86 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,880 premium? Do they just have the normal 87 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,840 game be premium? Do they try to tell you that 88 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,120 everybody's getting the premium in some way? 89 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,720 Like, I don't even know how they would word it, but it is 90 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,400 absolutely possible that they can just say there is no base 91 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,840 version of this game. They're all premium now. 92 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,800 Of course we would know that is the base game. 93 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,640 You know, that's just typical PR bullshit. 94 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,600 But that kind of stuff pops up now. 95 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,959 I also saw some people talking about the idea that they 96 00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:22,240 wouldn't do reviewers for this game and that they were going to 97 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,560 take them to a special event. That's completely normal. 98 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,400 That's actually not the only company that's done that. 99 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,360 There's a number of companies that are starting to do that, 100 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,960 especially recently with all the leaks where they start doing 101 00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:37,640 sort of private review events or they do there. 102 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,640 There's some other things that they can do where they can 103 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,680 restrict it to make sure you can't leak it. 104 00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:46,480 But with this many leaks and AGTA being so big that even 105 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,680 just, you know, somebody screwing it up, we saw, we've 106 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,240 seen it a couple times with broken St. dates, with 107 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,880 Starfield, all that kind of thing. 108 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,320 You see these popping up all the time. 109 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,520 It wouldn't surprise me at all. And it would cost them 110 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,640 absolutely next to nothing to be able to control the environment 111 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,880 a little bit when it comes to what people are allowed to leak 112 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,160 or show. Also, if there are glitches or 113 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,600 problems like that, there would be people right there working 114 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,320 with them. So yeah, that kind of thing is 115 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,280 not unexpected for a company like them. 116 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:16,400 And they're not the only company. 117 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,440 I've seen smaller companies with really small games fly a couple 118 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,320 people out for previews at the very least. 119 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,440 And you can't tell me there's any real difference there 120 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,800 between a preview and review. It all cost the same amount of 121 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,680 money. So you ship some people out. 122 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,760 I don't know how they're going to do that. 123 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,880 If I were GTA, if I were the people releasing that, the 124 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,360 honest truth is I probably wouldn't do reviews. 125 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,240 And now that's not because I don't believe in reviews. 126 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,040 Obviously I do a review channel. I think it might just behoove 127 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,480 them to be like, hey, you know what? 128 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,000 We're just, we're not, we're just not going to because you 129 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,800 never quite know in today's current environment, who's going 130 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,560 to try to social Signa themselves into getting a super 131 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,720 popular video. And we've seen it so many Times 132 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,480 Now where it doesn't matter if it's journalistic, it doesn't 133 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,360 matter if it's YouTube, doesn't matter if it's TikTok or 134 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,200 Instagram or Twitter. There's almost with every game 135 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,560 right now, there's somebody who has a take that really, weirdly 136 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,960 enough, pun intended, takes everybody back where everybody 137 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,640 looks and goes like, whoa, that is such a weird take. 138 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,440 Why did this person concentrate on this one thing? 139 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,720 You know, and we know what GTA is going to have many of those 140 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,400 one things, right? We saw it with the Red Dead 2 141 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,640 when the person on YouTube ran around and grabbed all the 142 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,960 women's suffrage characters and put them in front of trains and 143 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,280 stuff like that. And the world freaked out. 144 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:33,480 And it's like, well, you know, that is possible in the game. 145 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,520 I mean, it is, yeah, I'm, I'm not saying I would have done it, 146 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,880 but I'm like, dude, that's legitimately a completely normal 147 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,360 thing that we all laughed about when it happened to anybody else 148 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,360 in the game. He just chose to do this one 149 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,840 particular thing, which was goofy, sure, but we got to see 150 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,280 it. And that's some bad, it's some 151 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:50,880 bad press. I don't think it's a bad press 152 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,400 for them. It was a Rockstar game, but it 153 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,880 could be depending on what actions you can take in the 154 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,800 title and what you can do. So if I were them, I probably 155 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,240 wouldn't. I mean, the honest truth is I'd 156 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,280 be like I'd be so worried about, you know, story spoilers and and 157 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,000 shit like that. Maybe some benchmarks. 158 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000 You know, you could always, I mean, you could definitely 159 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,200 invite people. You could, especially when you 160 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,840 go to play these, you can usually choose console or you 161 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,360 can choose PC. Rockstar is one of the few 162 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,160 companies where you could probably say, you know, I want 163 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,360 to review this on a, a system that has these specs because 164 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,840 they closely aligned with mine. And Rockstar is probably one of 165 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,880 the few companies that could be like, boom, we we got you 166 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,280 covered. You know, we have 10 of these 167 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,320 with thirty 80s in them. We got ten of these with 40 168 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,160 eighters or whatever the AMD equivalent is, and we got ten of 169 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,280 these. You know what I mean? 170 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,480 They could do something like that. 171 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,640 So we'll just have to see how it all goes. 172 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,480 But I think we should probably prepare ourselves for an 80 to 173 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,440 $90.00, one hundred or more. We'll just have to see. 174 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,240 I do believe that a lot of people, depending on how long 175 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,600 they have to save, will be able to easily lie to them. 176 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,320 So not lie, sorry, but easily make it make sense to them why 177 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,840 they're paying 100. And I think that actually, if 178 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,200 Rockstar is going to do a higher price, it probably makes sense 179 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,160 to get this stuff out as quick as possible, Do the trailers, 180 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,040 then do that price point. That way it hits and a person 181 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,680 can basically sort of save up because, you know, you could 182 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,400 forgo a subscription one month and boom, you've got your extra 183 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,200 20 bucks that you need or something like that. 184 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,960 Definitely see that with a game like this, but we'll just have 185 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,040 to see. In sort of tangentially related 186 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,840 news, LA Noire had some kind of anniversary and one of the port 187 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,800 companies, I think it was Virtuous or Virtuoso or 188 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,080 something like that came forward and said, Oh yeah, you know, we 189 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,280 want to do we want to do Red Dead and we want to do something 190 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,679 else. Was it GTA5 on Switch? 191 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,280 I'm assuming they meant Switch to and not Switch, but I could 192 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,880 be wrong on I think they meant Switch to and yeah, you know, I 193 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,400 don't want to see it. I think they were the ones who 194 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,880 did The Elder Scrolls Oblivion remake. 195 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,920 And yeah, it has some issues for sure. 196 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,680 That is an Oblivion game or it is a Bethesda game and is an 197 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:01,080 Unreal game. This would be the engine, 198 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,520 obviously, that, you know, Rockstar has. 199 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,920 But I would like to see it. I would, you know, I would love 200 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,120 to see those games on Switch. I think the more people who can 201 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,960 play them, the more excitement people can drum up. 202 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,360 Then there's just a higher chance that we get, you know, a 203 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,960 sequel of some kind of those games or I get a true remake or 204 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,800 something like that. See how popular it can be. 205 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,800 And on a Switch to, you could do Red Dead on a Switch to I think 206 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,760 fairly easily actually, when you look at it, it depends on how 207 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,560 much you want to do your draw distances and stuff like that. 208 00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:35,160 But I think people are coming to grips with that system and 209 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,240 looking at exactly what they can offer. 210 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,240 And some games will be more difficult than others. 211 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,800 But we've seen some games sort of knock it out of the park on 212 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,720 that system that have been quite surprising. 213 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,200 We've seen a couple have some issues and we've seen a couple 214 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,840 that have been delayed. But yeah, I would I would 215 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,800 definitely be highly interested to see what that would look on 216 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,240 that system. So I know a lot of you guys are 217 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,000 playing Forza. Let's talk a little bit about 218 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,160 that. The Forza review period, people 219 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,840 were asking me how that was. It was good Forza reviews, you 220 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,440 know, it's Microsoft. They're pretty easy to deal with 221 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,920 when it comes to reviews. You know, you get your code and 222 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,920 you're like, hey, go for it. You can say this at a certain 223 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,440 time and you can jump in, you can race and you can do this. 224 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,360 And, you know, jumping in, testing that game, driving 225 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,520 around, there's it's, it really is. 226 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,240 Even though Japan as a map didn't, it's not that it didn't 227 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,600 impress me. It did. 228 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,120 It's that I feel like maybe I would have been even more 229 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,240 excited had this been one game ago. 230 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,480 I hope that makes sense to people. 231 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,760 But we've seen so many of these biomes that once you do get to 232 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,680 get to Japan, you're like, OK, it's Japan for sure. 233 00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:43,680 And there's a little flavor on there, but they can't put too 234 00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:46,240 much flavor on there. You know, when it comes to like 235 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,600 Japanese kind of thing or it would, it would actually skew 236 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,680 pretty weird. They still have to hit the the 237 00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:54,760 Forza formula. And they did a great job. 238 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,880 Enjoyable game. I'm seeing a bunch of people 239 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,000 playing it today who seem to be absolutely in love with it. 240 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,720 I really do like that sort of, you know, I guess you would just 241 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,560 say customization generation, but it's it's time. 242 00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:08,920 You've got so many different features in there and, and being 243 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,840 able to jump in there. And I was able to do that during 244 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,120 the review period and that was fun. 245 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,840 Yeah, it was really enjoyable. I was also asked if I got review 246 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:20,520 code for Batman and for what was the the disc Elysium sequel or 247 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:21,760 not sequel. You know what I mean? 248 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,000 The spiritual sequel by people who weren't involved. 249 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,280 God, who knows. I didn't for either one. 250 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,440 I did ask for Lego and was told I was on a list, but the way I 251 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,160 was told I was on a list and who I was told by I asked very late 252 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,520 so I was assuming I was not on there. 253 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,000 I was hoping I was going to be, but those reviews popped and 254 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,680 both those games reviewed quite well. 255 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,680 I think it makes total sense. I think the Batman game, when 256 00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:48,400 you looked at it, when you look at the idea with Rocksteady now 257 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,360 supposedly being a Co developer or so, or at least assisting in 258 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,760 development for the game makes sense. 259 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,400 It's got a lot of positive praise for it. 260 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,320 A lot of people seem to love it. It is 6999. 261 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,160 It is a full price game. You know, I you know that that 262 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,440 doesn't surprise me, but I did see some people bringing up, oh, 263 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,600 it's you know, it's a $70 standard edition game. 264 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,920 It's like, yeah, it's a Lego game. 265 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,640 They do that. You know, that's just sort of 266 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,480 the way it is. I mean, Lego games, it's, it's 267 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,960 one of those things where they they pump up the price it, I 268 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,800 think with the amount of stuff that goes into Lego, it sort of 269 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,600 makes sense. I do get why some people might 270 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,440 be unhappy by that price point, but in all honesty, to me, it 271 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,160 actually makes a good deal of sense. 272 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,200 It's not that surprising to see that price point. 273 00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:38,200 Next up, Herman Hull supposedly told people at a town hall 274 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,680 meeting. This is sort of Sony's big 275 00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:42,880 internal gathering that their narrative single player games 276 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,040 will be PlayStation exclusive again. 277 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,360 I don't find it that strange. I. 278 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,520 Do see why people. Expect it to be on PC as well 279 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,880 because they made the switch. They bought a company. 280 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,320 Those are all real valid reasons why you would want to continue 281 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,160 moving forward, but some valid reasons why you may not. 282 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,640 They're not getting the greatest sales on those games, especially 283 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,480 when we're starting to see so many games announcing we're 284 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,520 selling a million, we're selling 2 million, we're selling 5 285 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,560 million in just a couple days. It's not every game, obviously, 286 00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,680 but there are games that Sony internally does compare 287 00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:21,120 themselves to sometimes. And you, if you're the big guy 288 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,520 on the block, they probably compare themselves to anybody. 289 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,480 And they expect, there's an expectation internally that, 290 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,560 hey, we want to sell these. And with Microsoft sort of 291 00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:33,280 stepping back until their new system comes forward and doing 292 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,920 sort of the grunt work for Sony in a weird way, you have 293 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,440 Microsoft releasing what were once console exclusives on 294 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,960 everything. Even if there's a delay, at 295 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,440 least for now, Sony can step back and be like, okay, you know 296 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,400 what? Now we can sell our console more 297 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,400 and we're gonna add exclusives back to the console. 298 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,840 There's even more of a reason to buy our console, which means 299 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,200 even more of a player base, which means when we go to our 300 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,120 next system, there'll be even more of a player base to move to 301 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,760 the next system. You look at. 302 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,240 It from a business standpoint that makes total sense because 303 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,920 while they can sell a game, they do have to worry about other 304 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,760 stuff on the PC that they don't currently have to worry about in 305 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,800 great deal on the console, which is piracy and multiple different 306 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,560 things that they want to do when it comes to their security, how 307 00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:20,560 they want to display games how they want to do them. 308 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,440 Now they did say single player narrative games, not to be rude 309 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,560 to Sony, but we know a ton of their games still haven't been 310 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,280 cancelled that were service games. 311 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,480 So we don't really even know what narrative player games from 312 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,200 them are coming other than Wolverine or one or two others 313 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,480 that are just expected in the sort of trilogy, trilogy of 314 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,840 titles or some kind of sequel that we really look at a 315 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,440 original game and say, OK, they're going to do another one. 316 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,360 So we don't even actually know what's happening from them. 317 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,080 So to me right now, it's like, hey, this sort of makes sense. 318 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,040 Most of the games that they would have released would have 319 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,360 been pretty old except for Ghost. 320 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,080 And I think for them it just makes sense. 321 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,120 When they look at those sales and you do you see a lot of 322 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,520 these companies that are much smaller doing insanely well for 323 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,880 some of the same price points or likely close price points. 324 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,680 And a company like this saying, OK, our competitors selling 325 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,280 occasionally on our system, why don't we just hold back here? 326 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,680 Also, right now, I don't think any of these companies can even 327 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,960 invest in places that are new avenues. 328 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,240 So let me explain that for a second. 329 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,480 Microsoft's one luck, I guess, of the draw is that they already 330 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,320 have investment in the cloud and they already have their RAM in 331 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,720 the cloud. They already have the stuff that 332 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,560 they need in the cloud. So they've got their systems 333 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,160 with the RAM that are doing the cloud gaming, that kind of 334 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,360 stuff. Now, are they great? 335 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,400 No, they're not. But it is a place where they are 336 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,400 entrenched with even older hardware. 337 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,960 It's still already there. A company like Sony who does see 338 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,240 the future and does understand that at some point you're going 339 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,960 to have all these other additions, has to pull back from 340 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,760 some spot and say, OK, where are we going to sort of draw our 341 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,120 battle lines? Right now, the battle lines that 342 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,560 they seem to want to draw are in areas where they're at their 343 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,200 strengths and not at their weaknesses. 344 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,800 And their strength is console exclusives and a console. 345 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,440 And they also have a console that is extraordinarily high in 346 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,160 price now with a very poor return. 347 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,680 Remember, the price went up, the performance did not. 348 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,600 So there is no performance. There is no extra performance. 349 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,200 You'll get people still trying to say that, oh, it's worth 350 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,920 this, it's worth that, you should still get it. 351 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,440 And it's like, I don't think you understand the game, the 352 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,400 hardware, they're the same. There's no improvement in the 353 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,400 performance. There's just an increase in the 354 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,600 price. And so for a lot of people who 355 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,040 don't have said something, all they're going to see isn't it is 356 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,760 an increase in the price with the exact same return they would 357 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,280 have got when they weren't making the buy decision at a 358 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,960 lesser price. So if something is $200 more 359 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,480 instantly the next day and a person doesn't have it, they are 360 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,200 still going from zero. There is no additional thing 361 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,800 that they're like, OK, I need to get it. 362 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,560 You have FOMO. But right now they haven't built 363 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,280 FOMO very well because many of their single player games that 364 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,480 came out were in the past. So this idea that hey, we're 365 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,440 putting them back one of the way, I think you can tell quite 366 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,359 easily that they don't know exactly where their battle lines 367 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,440 are at this exact point is the idea that we haven't heard from 368 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,280 them at all. Now, they don't have to tell 369 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,880 anybody. That's one thing they don't. 370 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,640 There's really no reason to tell anybody unless somebody asks 371 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,040 them for an interview. And by the time that happens, 372 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,720 they're going to be prepped with their answer. 373 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,599 But right now, there's no reason to answer an interview from 374 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:24,000 anybody. There's no reason to even talk 375 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,319 about it. They'll do their internal 376 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:27,920 choices and their internal decisions and they don't need to 377 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,080 tell everybody else the ideas and their game plan. 378 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,120 I also think in all honesty, everybody's in a tightrope right 379 00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:35,200 now. Think about it this way. 380 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,000 Everything increased in price without an increase in 381 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,520 performance. And so maybe you decide, hey, 382 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,440 you know what, it's time. We need to get, we need to get 383 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,760 cracking on the PS6. We need to get cracking on the 384 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,600 new. Xbox. 385 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,720 Well, guess what? They're up in price too now, of 386 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,960 course, PCs up in price as well. But if somebody hasn't made that 387 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,840 choice, then you're probably still looking at people holding 388 00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,400 on to prior consoles. And I do believe that Sony is 389 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,680 under the impression that this is the best way to make the most 390 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,400 out of what they've got. Where they try to hold on to as 391 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,840 many people and get more people buying into a hardware that 392 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,360 they're not investing billions in to roll out a new system. 393 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,240 But instead getting more and more people into that older 394 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,040 system that they still have some contracts for, They're still 395 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,920 buying for. They're still, you know, looking 396 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,040 at price raises, which we've already got from all these guys. 397 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,200 But you just have to do that. We are in a situation where 398 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,040 nobody really knows where all of the prices are going to go. 399 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,560 And for them, a lot of this makes sense. 400 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,880 It really does. And it's also why you're seeing 401 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,960 huge changes. Like people think this is all 402 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,400 because of the new CEO at Xbox, but you're seeing these new 403 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,200 changes. These new changes were already 404 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,000 rolling forward prior. You're starting to see like all 405 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,960 these, well, some small, some large, but you're starting to 406 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,600 see all these different things popping up. 407 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,120 It's because everybody is starting to look and say, OK, 408 00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,240 the status quo is completely changed and we need to be 409 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,640 flexible. When it's almost, it reminds me 410 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,760 in a way of the old style of agile versus waterfall 411 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,040 development. You know, waterfall development, 412 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,240 you start out, you're all working on one thing, then 413 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,280 you're moving to the next, then you're moving to the next, then 414 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,880 you move to the next. And then you sort of go to the 415 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,480 agile kind of game development where people are working on all 416 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,760 different things and, and well, it's sort of the term itself, 417 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,640 but you have all these different ways in which games are usually 418 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,400 developed and you don't see waterfall as much. 419 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,160 But what you do see are people trying to adjust quickly. 420 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,080 And I would say when you look at it, big companies definitely go 421 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:34,400 or usually went on the old style of waterfall kind of game prep 422 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,600 and planning where it was. Here's our ramp up time. 423 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,320 Here's this, here's that. And over time, we've started to 424 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,720 see more, oh, this beta isn't working internally. 425 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,640 Let's rejigger this completely. We're going to have to pull it 426 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,680 apart. You're seeing this more and 427 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,200 more, and you're seeing different avenues to try that 428 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,720 out too. You're seeing early betas that 429 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,840 we've just never seen before from games. 430 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,920 I mean, it's pretty crazy when you think about it, that some of 431 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,680 these games were getting tests early where everybody can just 432 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:01,880 jump in. Now. 433 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,920 Some of that's built on early accesses bones where they 434 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,160 originally started doing it. And the bigger companies started 435 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,880 seeing that and saying, oh, you know, we'll do this. 436 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,280 Ubisoft's like, hey, we'll do this. 437 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,080 So and so's like that. Sounds like a good plan. 438 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,640 But what we're seeing is a lot of huge changes in the entire 439 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,760 environment to sort of eat up some, I guess you would say some 440 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,600 of the flexibility to burn out, some of the flexibility of all 441 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,320 of the weirdness with the price and figure out a good solid 442 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,480 ground for everybody where they can offer people what they think 443 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,800 is a good price. People can get what they think 444 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,600 is a good deal. And right now the two are not 445 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,480 meeting. I mean, I think it would. 446 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,160 I think it's very difficult for any of us on any hardware we own 447 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,640 to say we're getting a good deal. 448 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,120 That would just be me. I mean, you guys might feel that 449 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:48,960 way, but I would say maybe we're getting a good deal day and date 450 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,720 prior to these raises. But now that games are going up 451 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,200 and consoles are going up and PC parts are going up, there isn't 452 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,080 a middle ground anymore. There's no, you know, it's 453 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,360 weird, but people are saying, oh, it's like, you know, there's 454 00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:03,440 just the poor and the rich in many societies now. 455 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,640 It does at times feel like weirdly enough in hardware, 456 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,400 there's now really the poor or rich. 457 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,760 There's the past past Gen. maybe you know, people still sticking 458 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,160 on 3080 cards 4090, which is an old obviously it's still very 459 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,240 powerful, but you get my drift Stuck on the PS4 Pro, maybe 460 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,600 stuck on the PS-5, stuck on the Xbox SNX and just being like, 461 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,000 I'm going to I'm going to sit here and I'm going to wait it 462 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,520 out. And then people who have like a 463 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,360 great deal of money, have all the consoles or have a console 464 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:36,280 on APC. It's very difficult now when you 465 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,880 realize also that if you had one console and you wanted to buy 466 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,400 both others, if you tried to do that now, you could buy an 467 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,440 additional old console for the difference in price. 468 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,880 That's. Crazy when you think about it. 469 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,440 Or at least almost an additional. 470 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,520 It depends on which of the additional consoles you would 471 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,080 have wanted to buy back in the day. 472 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,360 But the price difference is that much now. 473 00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:02,000 Like it's insane. And for PC of course it's risen 474 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,840 even more. And with PC, you have an even 475 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:10,000 larger problem where it's very rare you see multiple parts on 476 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,040 any any particular item that raises all the items. 477 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,560 A lot of times in the past we would just get one thing going 478 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,840 up in price. But now because it's RAM chips 479 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,360 and now we're starting to see controllers, not handheld 480 00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:24,600 controllers, but controllers on motherboards and stuff, all of 481 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,800 those using different chips. All these times that we've been 482 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,800 like, look at this improvement, they put a RAM chip on this. 483 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,640 There's a memory in my controller, there's memory in my 484 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,920 TV, there's this, there's that. All of those benefits and 485 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,120 improvements means that the moment RAM price went up, 486 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,200 everything did. So it's not just a video card, 487 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,360 it's that you need 32 gigs of RAM. 488 00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:49,640 It's not just that, it's that your damn sound card has a 489 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,960 little buffer chip of RAM in it or whatever, you know, you know 490 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,480 what I mean? It's just like everything has 491 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,280 gone up. So yeah, it's going to be a 492 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,840 difficult time for Sony, It's going to be a difficult time for 493 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,920 Microsoft, and it's going to be a difficult time for us. 494 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,120 There's going to have to be a middle ground here somewhere. 495 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,960 And I don't know where it is. I do not know where it is. 496 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,760 I am excited to see the games that are coming out this year, 497 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:18,640 but I'm also really tentative on exactly exactly how they're 498 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,240 going to arrive and they're how many people will buy. 499 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,080 Like are we going to, for example, you see five, I think 500 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,960 it was 5 million for Crimson Desert. 501 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,080 Those are great numbers, but imagine if everything was 502 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,160 cheaper. I mean, how many times have we 503 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,520 heard just this year? And I can tell you countless 504 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,520 times where I heard people saying they didn't buy Crimson 505 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:43,920 Desert because they didn't have the money. 506 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,520 They did not. They had already bought their 507 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,880 game. They had already, you know, 508 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,120 because Crimson Desert may not have been their primary game. 509 00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:53,080 It might have been the the very next secondary game they wanted. 510 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,400 So there's a very real issue going on, especially depending 511 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,160 on what systems you have. So yeah, it's going to be a 512 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,400 crazy one, man. We'll all come out of it though. 513 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,400 You know how it is. We'll we'll come out of this. 514 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,120 People are also asking me if I thought ram prices or everything 515 00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:11,200 would go back down to 00 point, meaning the original price. 516 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,720 So ram prices had gone up and down. 517 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,800 And it depends on what we're really talking about. 518 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,440 We had seen expensive ram prices in the past and we've seen them 519 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,920 go down. We've seen them go up, go down. 520 00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:23,720 I don't think they'll ever go down to where they were unless. 521 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,080 So what we're probably going to get is an over rebound effect 522 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,760 where we see so many companies trying to aim for that gap 523 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,120 because the gap is memory. Just so everybody understands 524 00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:37,680 what I mean by that. There isn't a desire for memory. 525 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,960 There's a gap. OK, So what does that mean? 526 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,920 There's when there's a desire for memory, that means people 527 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,600 want memory from the current memory providers and they want 528 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,600 some more. It's a desire, right? 529 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,280 But there's a true gap now, meaning the desire hasn't even 530 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,200 got filled. There's you can't even get what 531 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,920 you want, let alone what you need right now in RAM. 532 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,280 So what you could see and what we are seeing as many players 533 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,920 trying to jump into the RAM space, depending on where they 534 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,160 are, depending on where those players are, depending on what 535 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,840 nations do what. China's got their own plans. 536 00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:13,000 Plus you've got Taiwan doing their thing. 537 00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:14,800 You've got to America doing their thing. 538 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,640 I don't know if there's a a, if, if there's even a single 539 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,600 European RAM manufacture. There might be. 540 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,040 But anyway, different companies who are trying to do this with 541 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,720 the idea that there's two different ideas going on right 542 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,920 now. One, make for the gap and make 543 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,400 for the desire #2 make for the gap, make for the desire and 544 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,840 make for the future. If this pops up again, because 545 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,160 it probably will, something else may pop up. 546 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,000 Because what we've now entered is sort of a sine wave, sort of 547 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:46,560 a, a, a wave kind of system. In the past, we almost always 548 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,080 had some kind of support and backfill for desire and need for 549 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,800 memory. This is the first time where 550 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,160 it's completely gone. Think of it like a bit like an 551 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,480 earthquake where you get 2 tectonic plates and they're 552 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,720 hitting each other. And right now we're at the point 553 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,520 to where they're grinding to a halt, but they're still trying 554 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,080 to move. And that pressure is building up 555 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,960 and building up. And what's happening is, and 556 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,680 what you would normally sort of want is smaller micro quakes to 557 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,680 to sort of break that up so that that pressure doesn't build up 558 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,920 too high, but it doesn't unleash all at once. 559 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,160 What a lot of people in the semiconductor groups are worried 560 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,160 about is that we're going to get a ton of players and then it's 561 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,200 going to go sky high and then super low, sky high, then super 562 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,320 low. The reason why that's an issue 563 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,600 if you ignore all the business, is because you also might get 564 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,120 sort of an overabundance where people are using RAM chips for 565 00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:38,920 different things that put them in different ship. 566 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,840 Let's say 7-8 years down the future, people are creating more 567 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,440 technological devices. They're throwing a ton of RAM 568 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,680 into something and then all of a sudden boom, you get another 569 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,360 desire for RAM and you become or end up in the exact same problem 570 00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:56,200 again because you have sort of introduced this giant 571 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,440 instability there where it'll feel comfortable and you'll be 572 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,440 like everything's comfortable. Nothing's moving. 573 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,040 We're we're at this price and you're going to be not really 574 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,680 reacting to the small adjustments. 575 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,840 And then at some point, something will happen, whether 576 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,000 it be a new company coming up in some new technological device. 577 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,880 I mean, you could even say, let's go this far. 578 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,640 You know, Roombas were popular. Let's take it a step up and say 579 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,040 it's some kind of personal device that becomes quite 580 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,360 popular, you know, where it ends up becoming popular everywhere 581 00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:27,480 at once. Maybe we see a step up in AI and 582 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,640 people like these little personal robots or something 583 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,760 like that would just go with that. 584 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,640 You know, I don't believe it'll be that, but it could be when 585 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,120 you get a ton of RAM. Maybe they need 128, maybe they 586 00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:42,640 need 256 per robot and at the time the price is low 256, no 587 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,120 big deal. But then 100,000 ordered 200,300 588 00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:49,000 thousand a million, 2,000,003 million, 4 million are ordered 589 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,080 and then you have a new console release around the same time and 590 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,880 suddenly you have 23410 million consoles that need. 591 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,960 Do you see what I'm saying? That's how fast it is. 592 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,480 That's all it takes. And that instability can become 593 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,440 an issue. So I don't know if we'll see 594 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,880 them arbitrarily if support popped up, I don't think it'll 595 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,280 go down now. Memory for LLMS and for all of 596 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,880 the stuff that you see with AI, memory is not going to forever 597 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,240 be the, the, the end all be all. There's multiple ways that these 598 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,280 developers are going where they're trying to do other 599 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,480 things outside of memory and and there's different systems that 600 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,360 may come up that aren't tensor bound the way we see that aren't 601 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,640 weight bound with giant parameter systems that we see 602 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,360 where we may find a future where we're not using RAM near as much 603 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,160 and we're using something else that, you know, it may be an 604 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,960 interconnect between chips and it may just turn out to be 605 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,320 something that's completely different than what we're using 606 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,080 now. It in fact, I don't think 607 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,080 anybody would be surprised at all by that. 608 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,080 So we could see that as well where we just don't need it. 609 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,600 And I don't think of the price will ever go down as low, though 610 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,440 I do think that there will be a probably a controlled price drop 611 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,440 when you get these companies coming in, when you get more 612 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,480 companies coming in and some of these big companies trying to do 613 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,920 LLMS aren't going to be able to build them in some of their data 614 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,440 stores that they want to build. Those would be cancelled. 615 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,080 Some people will step back and be like, well, our system got 616 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,040 cancelled that we wanted to build in this state. 617 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,960 It'll take us 18 months to set up another one. 618 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,440 But these three competitors are there. 619 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,560 Let's move to the next round of technology and try something 620 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,440 else. And what you'll see as a, and 621 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,520 we've seen this so many times, you'll see this rise and desire 622 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,600 and need for something. And then because people can't 623 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,200 get it, there's a cascade effect. 624 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,880 And then everybody moves to the next thing, which I think we 625 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,760 will see here. We will definitely see you 626 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,480 people moving to the next thing or changing technologies just by 627 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,760 the sheer need of it. So you got to be interesting to 628 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,880 see, man, I think these consoles are going to be expensive as 629 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,960 hell. The new ones, you know, I, I 630 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,600 mean, if I was a company, I would never go above 999 631 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,280 obviously. But I feel that console players 632 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,280 just, they're just not going to accept it at 999 if there isn't 633 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,960 something so grandiose that's combined with it. 634 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,640 They're going to stick to the old systems and the companies 635 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,400 will want to stick to those old systems for quite a quite a 636 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,400 great deal of time. I could. 637 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,160 I mean, it's going to be rough if you try to sell somebody 638 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,080 $1000 system, especially because GTA will have already been out 639 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,120 for a while and there's just really no game, you know, 640 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,120 Crimson Desert being one more technologically advanced game, 641 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,520 Cyberpunk, those weren't selling it on the systems guys there. 642 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,760 There's nothing like GTA. There's nothing like it. 643 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,840 So I just can't see it. It'll be very interesting to see 644 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,720 what they try to offer at 999 because that thing is going to 645 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,000 have to do crazy stuff. I think Microsoft, Steam, Valve, 646 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,880 sorry, they both have somewhat of a good idea, which is sort of 647 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,360 a home device that might do some other stuff to sort of get 648 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:53,120 people maybe not having to buy a PC with an extraordinarily 649 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,720 expensive video card. I mean, dude, how many Times Now 650 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,720 have we been talking about, you know, these console makers 651 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:05,680 looking at segmented hardware where you have like a sort of a 652 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,120 modular system. I mean, we've already seen it 653 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,920 now we've been able to replace hard drives and since the 654 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,240 original Xbox, but it's never really been perfectly done. 655 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,640 Then you see the ability to use USB devices on these and then 656 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,280 you see the, you know, the memory fucking whatever the hard 657 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,280 drive thing in the back of the Xbox Series X. 658 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,800 You see people replacing the NVMES. 659 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,840 It's like, do we see a system that has a modular video card, 660 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,560 some of some kind that you can plug on and off one of these new 661 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,360 devices by somebody? Because it does seem like AMD. 662 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,520 I mean, they lead the market in external GPU's too. 663 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,360 And I'm not saying external, I'm not saying you use in a USB. 664 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,280 Even though there's a new interconnect called copper I 665 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,840 believe. I believe it's called copper, 666 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,280 which is a new wired connect for external graphics cards that is 667 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,040 perfectly PCIe. Compatible and loses no FPS. 668 00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,840 So AM DS already got a couple video cards in a box that they 669 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,880 sell. And it's like, is that what 670 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,320 they're going to do? You know, does AMD just say, OK, 671 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,080 yeah. And now you've got a system 672 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,280 that's technically got the APU. And then at some point in the 673 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,880 future, you know, if they if whether it be Sony or Microsoft 674 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,640 wants to add on a a system, you just plug it into the side. 675 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,200 We'll have to see the form factor, right? 676 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,000 I mean, do I think that's a good idea? 677 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:28,040 No, but it's going to be hard to sell somebody $999 console. 678 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,280 I'd love to know what you guys think with like what's I mean, 679 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,840 what does a $999 console look to you? 680 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,040 Oh, sorry, that was my device turning off. 681 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,520 If you have a $999 console, which is probably your best 682 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,560 price, right, You price it under you could you could say 899 to 683 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,800 price it under 1000. There's certain psychologies 684 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,480 there, but I don't know about you guys. 685 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,200 You'd have to really, there'd have to be something special 686 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,880 about it. You'd have to really figure out 687 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:57,360 a way to be like, OK, this is this is special in a way that 688 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,360 we've not seen before. And then you look at it, you're 689 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,240 like, what would that be? You can't say something like 690 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,760 Discord integration because not only we already have it, but you 691 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,120 don't want these systems being too integrated with a third 692 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,560 party. You certainly don't with 693 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,880 Discord, which those guys just don't know what the fuck they're 694 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,840 doing ever. And I know Xbox has got that 695 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,320 little game pass thing with Discord, but that's that's more 696 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,960 of a throwaway. You know, Microsoft has always 697 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,720 been sort of forward thinking when it comes to, you know, 698 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,120 giving deals or putting packages together, but true integration 699 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,880 into that, you know, software. I mean, you could, we've seen 700 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,240 EA, we saw Ubisoft, you know, merging their subscriptions in, 701 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,600 you know, do we see? Yeah, it wouldn't happen. 702 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,200 I was going to say, do we see a system that no longer charges 703 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,240 for online at all? And, you know, I mean, you could 704 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,360 see it still wouldn't be worth it. 705 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,240 It's still you. You've got to go out there and 706 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,000 you've got to deliver something that a console player turns it 707 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,080 on and goes, oh, OK. You know, this is, this is what 708 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,080 I this is all I need for a while. 709 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,680 And you know, they're somebody's going to have to nail it, man, 710 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,080 because Switch is probably the only one right now that's sort 711 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,360 of I think has done pretty well. I mean, when you look at Sony's 712 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,120 numbers, they dropped the price. They had the best week ever and 713 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,639 then the worst week ever right after. 714 00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:16,600 And as any analyst will tell you, that's because they Ford 715 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,000 pushed their sales. They, they basically sold out to 716 00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:24,480 desire. Everybody who wanted one got 717 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,920 one. But there was no gap. 718 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,960 Meaning the reason why that had the lowest sales the next time 719 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,040 is there just was no real gap there of people desiring their 720 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,480 system at that cost. And unless one of these guys 721 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,800 comes forward and says, hey, look, man, here's the new 722 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,239 hotness. I just don't see that happening 723 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,040 here with consoles and got a. Bit of lightning round 724 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,239 questions. First one is Carrick. 725 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:54,440 What's your hot take for 2026? My hot take is that GTA6 will be 726 00:34:54,440 --> 00:35:00,280 good but not great and that's not a lie that once the I I 727 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:05,400 thought the GTA5 was great. I think the GTA 6, because of 728 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,840 the way those characters are entwined, it has a chance of 729 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,480 being Bonnie and Clyde and being just phenomenal, but without 730 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,520 Dan, they're writing. I think this has a very high 731 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,600 chance of that being something that let me down. 732 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,440 And I think the GTA as a game, I like a lot of their mechanics. 733 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,960 It's certainly. Fun, but I have liked their 734 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,280 writing in the past, and there has been a reason why that 735 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,840 writing has attracted me in the past. 736 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,800 For every single game he's worked on, there's been 737 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,240 something there that has always felt. 738 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,440 Intangible and different until you really hear him talk. 739 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,960 So that'll be my hot take that after the rigmarole and. 740 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,560 The technical wizardry has calmed down. 741 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,880 That it might might. Be sort of, at least in my 742 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,200 personal case, AGTA 4. That's my hot take. 743 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,080 It doesn't mean it's it's even true. 744 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,520 That's just the way I I sort of feel that that'll roll out at. 745 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:55,000 Least for me. Next up, which a what nation are 746 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,080 fans the nicest from and what nation are fans the meanest 747 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,240 from? That's a weird question, dude. 748 00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:08,640 That's a how would I know? OK, man, you know, it's very 749 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:09,880 difficult. I would say when you go to 750 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,640 events, everybody's you know they're. 751 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:17,120 Awesome like events have been Well, yeah, most have been 752 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,760 completely awesome if. We're talking about fans. 753 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,360 Oh, you do say fans are the industry or people in the 754 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,560 industry. Oh, OK, so OK, we can do this. 755 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,240 You know, I would say, man, that is difficult. 756 00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:35,760 I would say I haven't had an issue with really anybody and 757 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:41,440 any nation in particular. You know, I would say that have 758 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,400 you ever heard the same? I'm sure you have that usually 759 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,120 every nation has sort of, I guess you'd call it the urban 760 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,960 myth about it, right? And sometimes it might be true 761 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,120 in, in the way in which people interact with their tourism 762 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,360 trade or might be true in the way that people interact with a 763 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,000 certain demographic. So you might hear like, let's, I 764 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,200 think the majority, you'll hear most people say that French 765 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,880 people are rude. American tipping is weird, 766 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,080 right? These kind of things. 767 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,600 So by the way, I'm not saying American tipping isn't weird cuz 768 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,920 it is for a lot of people. I'm just simply saying you, you 769 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,920 hear these things out and about. You hear, oh, people from this 770 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,640 place are, are always nice. And we all know that that's not 771 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,280 true, right? We, it's absolutely not true. 772 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:28,680 It's a sample set of an incredibly small amount and 773 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,240 through a billion filters, it's just not going to work that way. 774 00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:35,640 You know, some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life 775 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,960 are people from New York. So there you go, right? 776 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,720 And you'll always hear and some of the meanest people I've are 777 00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:45,680 from like some, you know, some Australia or something, you 778 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,160 know, where you just don't expect it. 779 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,560 So I would say, you know, I really can't answer that. 780 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,640 If I had something that stuck out, I would be able to answer 781 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,720 it, but I can't. And I said this was going to be 782 00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:58,800 quick answers that I vacillated far too long. 783 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,280 That's my quick answer though, right? 784 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,840 We'll just go with that. Carrick, what's better, virtual 785 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,600 fighter or Tekken? Virtual fighter by a landslide. 786 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:11,080 It's not even within like it's Tekken is doing better, Tekken 787 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,360 is more successful, Tekken is flashier, Tekken has more 788 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,280 characters, Tekken has in every. Way, shape or form? 789 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,800 In the group out there who like games I have, I absolutely 790 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,600 believe that Tekken is for them the better game. 791 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,680 But if we're talking about the actual fighting mechanics in the 792 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,160 game themselves, the game itself, virtual fighter by a 793 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,520 land, it's not even in the same bailiwick like Tekken would be 794 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,520 like 7 levels below the worst virtual fighter. 795 00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:41,480 Yeah, I said it. Let's see. 796 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,640 Next up, Carrick. Hot take, do you think games 797 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,440 like Directive 8020 have seen their time and that they're 798 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,280 passing because real time graphics are already better, you 799 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,200 know? No, but I do think that they 800 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,320 need to start selling us on more and more stuff. 801 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,120 And I think that it's a good question. 802 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,400 Dark Anthology style games give you the little real system where 803 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,240 you can go and look and you can have different people die. 804 00:39:05,240 --> 00:39:07,960 And now they've added in movie versions and multiplayer hot 805 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,920 seats, they're going to have to add more and more because we are 806 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,720 certainly at the time where for the most part, every game that 807 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:17,480 is made by a larger company looks better than Directive 808 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,320 8020. Nothing against Directive 8020, 809 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,600 I thought it looked pretty good, but that's it. 810 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,120 And in the past, those games, because of the way they were 811 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,760 cinematically presented in the mocap, they had a tendency to 812 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,880 look better. Until Dawn when it first came 813 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,000 out, it had some FPS issues for sure. 814 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,560 But when it first came out, there's a lot of people are 815 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,160 like, that's one of the better looking Sony games of all time. 816 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,640 It was, it was fantastic looking. 817 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,040 They did a great job, but things have passed by and technology 818 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,160 has gotten to this point to where the very way in which you 819 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,040 present is weird. In fact I would say your only 820 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:52,040 real competitor to current best of graphics is FMV and FMV 821 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,800 doesn't work well because the way to make FMV look better than 822 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,520 current real time graphics on a high end card. 823 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,040 Is to use special effects in the FMV. 824 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,360 Think about how crazy that is, how weird it is that to make 825 00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:10,400 real life look in some way like a cyberpunk or whatever, you 826 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,760 actually have to use. You have to add these special 827 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,000 effects to them. You have to Add all of this 828 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,880 stuff to make it look in a way like a game and better. 829 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,600 Otherwise it is just going to always look like an FMV and we 830 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,640 are going to start seeing that. We've already seen it in movies 831 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,320 like A Scanner Darkly had cell shade, cell shading in a movie. 832 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,400 Lord of the Rings had the retroscoping. 833 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,800 So I absolutely can see these companies who want to go the 834 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,880 Directive 8020 trying other things as well because when you 835 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,920 play Directive 8020 that you know, facial. 836 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,360 Textures and stuff like that. You start to see those Next up. 837 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,320 If there was one YouTube channel you would pimp. 838 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:50,000 For the rest of your. Life. 839 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:55,160 What would it be? What would it probably cool 840 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,080 worlds. I mean, I love Simon Whistler 841 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,960 stuff, but they're really just facts about things. 842 00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:01,560 And then he's got his different channels. 843 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,760 Got a ton of them, which are great. 844 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,440 But I would say for just true listening, I love science. 845 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,320 Cool worlds is probably my favorite little difficult to get 846 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,120 through some of his stuff because he is such a he. 847 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:17,000 He not only is, I wouldn't say a pacifist, but he's very calm, 848 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,960 but he talks that way and it can be very close to a sleepy time 849 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,480 video for people. You know, he's like, and today 850 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:30,240 we'll be talking about Uranus and you're like, normally that 851 00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:32,320 would make me laugh, but you say it so calmly. 852 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,800 It's very difficult to actually, you know, feel even even humor 853 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,240 from it. And it's just the way he is. 854 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,760 He's, from what I understand, at least a couple people who've 855 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,560 taken his classes. He's a fantastic professor. 856 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,760 He's fucking obviously insanely talented. 857 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,680 Love his stuff. But I have to be sort of 858 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,520 energetic to watch it. What's the best console of all 859 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:56,840 time, Carrick? Best console. 860 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,280 Let's go with best meaning in and of it's time. 861 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,360 What it could do even if it didn't do it like or do we mean 862 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,240 like what? You know what, I'll just go with 863 00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:10,080 my version of best. I think the Dreamcast is up 864 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,080 there because not only what it could do, it was highly 865 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,920 powerful. It was a smaller shape towards 866 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,640 what I think gamers at the time were looking for, which was that 867 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,520 smaller shape. It was a it was intriguing in 868 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,600 that way. It also had the broadband 869 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,840 adapter. It had four controller ports and 870 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,200 it had the VM use whether they were used or not. 871 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,920 It didn't have the greatest controllers, though. 872 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,120 They were not comfortable. And this was back in the 1 873 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:39,360 analog stick days. So yeah, I would say yeah, yeah, 874 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,240 I would say Dreamcast probably. I mean just as a solid, you 875 00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:45,440 know, obviously if you look at like what system had the best 876 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,960 games, PS1 or PS2 are definitely the the top tier dogs. 877 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,920 But when it comes to just what I think it was like the best 878 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,080 console, it would be the Dreamcast. 879 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,640 It was just everything about it. And for me, ultra reliant, 880 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:04,600 reliable, like utility wise, you know, a couple did get broken by 881 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,640 me, but that was on my, that was my end. 882 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:07,680 That was not theirs. So. 883 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,520 Yeah, I would definitely say Dreamcast, Carrick. 884 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,240 Best martial arts. Best martial arts? 885 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,720 Do you just mean? It just says best, let's talk 886 00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:19,360 about best in real life. And then like if you were 887 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,960 defending yourself and then best in, let's say best in real life, 888 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,320 if you're defending yourself and then like best, just most 889 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,720 enjoyable. Most enjoyable for me is always, 890 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:31,840 probably forever going to be Kempo. 891 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,240 That was by far the most enjoyable to spar with people. 892 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,320 It's usability. You know that there's some 893 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,000 weaknesses in every single martial art. 894 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:45,680 Now, when it comes to real life, if I was out and about, do I 895 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,160 feel comfortable with what I know? 896 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,600 Absolutely. Do I feel like I can defend 897 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:50,880 myself? Absolutely. 898 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,000 Do I feel like it's the best martial art for, let's say, if 899 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,720 you were just out and about, I would actually go with something 900 00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:01,680 like judo. And the reason why I wouldn't go 901 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,960 with like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, while I love it is because. 902 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,920 I guess I've had a different. Experience than everybody else 903 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,000 in the world. Well, the people I talked to 904 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,800 have all had different experiences than everybody else 905 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,160 in the world. But let me explain this. 906 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,720 You heard a lot of people say Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which I 907 00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:21,440 agree, amazing. But there is a different tactic, 908 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,200 there is a different style with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu many times. 909 00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:30,960 And it, I don't feel that it's as strong in its throw game and 910 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,840 in its balance game as judo. And I don't want to be on the 911 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:40,240 ground very long because every single fight I've ever seen, if 912 00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:42,760 two people are on the ground, one or two things happens, 913 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,320 another person jumps in because it's almost never one-on-one 914 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:47,760 anymore. It just isn't. 915 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,560 I mean, just, you know, you'll get kids at a school who are 916 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:51,880 one-on-one. But the moment they get on the 917 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,520 ground, it doesn't take very long. 918 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,200 If somebody doesn't, it doesn't get top guard. 919 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,400 Where's the people pick them up. Oh, you know, quit. 920 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,640 You know, they have even less, they have even less patience 921 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,920 than like a Las Vegas crowd at the UFC. 922 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,200 So something that where you can throw, do damage on the throw, 923 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,920 which I'm a big believer in that you don't just throw somebody, 924 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,800 you're trying to throw somebody, at least for me, trying to throw 925 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,880 somebody to hurt them so that they can't come back. 926 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:20,280 At you and the speed at which you can throw and and and. 927 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,080 Just I've been highly impressed with every person I've ever 928 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,200 sparred who knew judo And and I, I don't mean impressed, I mean 929 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:34,240 highly impressed and far more, far more threatened in the 930 00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:36,240 feeling of my own personal safety. 931 00:45:36,240 --> 00:45:39,160 Not in a bad way, but in AI got to protect myself so I don't get 932 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:43,040 thrown so I can work my stuff by them than by anybody. 933 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,840 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu until we get on the ground and then you get 934 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,920 on the ground then yeah, they're both very highly skilled and 935 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,960 amazing moves and just amazing people fighting it. 936 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,760 But yeah, I would say those two I I really do. 937 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,280 I have an appreciation for judo and have since I was younger of 938 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,360 appreciation for all martial arts really and I think almost 939 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,760 any martial art in the world. Dude, I've seen people knock 940 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,400 somebody out with Taekwondo that they knew nothing else. 941 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,960 You'll hear people say it's a useless sport and I get it 942 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:10,600 because I understand where they're coming from. 943 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,600 But used in the right circumstance at the right time? 944 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:21,000 Gojiru Karate, Kempo, Muay Thai, they not that Muay Thai has that 945 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,040 kind of thought process around it, but a lot of the martial 946 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,600 arts that you might hear or like, oh, that's not super, not 947 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,880 super useful have turned out to be useful in the ways I've seen 948 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,520 it. And the ones that have been sort 949 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,800 of touted as being super useful have actually, weirdly enough, 950 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,080 not been as much in the stuff I've seen. 951 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,960 And I've seen a lot. And there is just a lot of times 952 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:45,240 where you see a somebody get jumped or, you know, somebody 953 00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:47,360 need to be put down momentarily. Why? 954 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,240 Everybody can move from one section to the other. 955 00:46:49,240 --> 00:46:50,800 And you don't want to be wrestling with somebody. 956 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:55,080 But but certainly throwing somebody to do we, you know, on 957 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:58,320 to something like concrete or something like that is as fast 958 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,440 as humanly possible. There's just, there's just a 959 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,120 different thought process there which which works really well. 960 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,360 But yeah, they all work well. Good martial arts stuff. 961 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,920 What's the worst martial art? Don't really have one. 962 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,880 I mean, I'm sure there's some that were created, you know, in 963 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,280 in some weird modern day thought process. 964 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,080 I mean Kempo's one of the later created ones when you really 965 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:20,640 think about especially Ed Parker. 966 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:25,200 But if you, when you think about it in the term of centuries, but 967 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:30,160 technically, you know, many are going to teach you reactions, 968 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:31,960 many are going to teach you the ability to move. 969 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,400 Those things are vital. Understanding distances, 970 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,640 regardless if the distance is being used to get in closer or 971 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,880 or stay at range there, you're going to have to learn distance. 972 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,280 You're going to have to learn those kind of things. 973 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,920 So they can all be useful in times when you absolutely have 974 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,440 to use them. And you certainly shouldn't use 975 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:50,240 them unless you absolutely have to because especially today's, 976 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,360 you know, it is the the one biggest change I've seen isn't I 977 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,520 would say there's two huge changes in person in in person, 978 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,960 on person contact now in real life when I was. 979 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,600 Younger, there was almost no suings. 980 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,760 There's almost no. Lawsuits you You would see 981 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,200 people go at each other. You'd see broken fists, you'd 982 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,800 see broken wrists. You'd see bite marks. 983 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:17,440 You'd see busted out teeth. You'd see ruptured eardrums. 984 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,880 You'd see massive ocular hemorrhages. 985 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,360 You'd see, I mean, I'm just thinking about school. 986 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,000 You'd. See us stomped on hands you'd 987 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,840 see saw a broken ankle one time. You'd see somebody. 988 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:33,120 I saw somebody get body slammed onto a giant park rock one time 989 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,720 which had to fucking hurt. Beyond all belief. 990 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:40,040 And I don't think any of those resulted in anything more than 991 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,560 two dads. I'm not saying this is right. 992 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,880 I'm literally just talking about how times have changed when it 993 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:49,280 comes to the world. And it's it's you know, the the 994 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,760 flexibility there. I saw, I saw dads get together 995 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,400 and just be like, yeah, my son beat up your son, your son beat 996 00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,080 up my son. Whatever we need to stop them 997 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:01,920 from fighting. That would be the most. 998 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,840 Otherwise there wouldn't even be anything said. 999 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,080 You know, sometimes you go home and a teacher. 1000 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,160 I still remember one time watching two people get in a 1001 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,520 fight and a kid walked into class and he was busted up. 1002 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,320 Nice kid. They're both OK. 1003 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,720 One of them I didn't really like, but the the one that was 1004 00:49:17,720 --> 00:49:21,200 busted up, he was pretty busted up and he walked in and our 1005 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:25,040 football secondary coach, he was the the secondary and defensive 1006 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:30,720 line coach was like got him ice from the staff lounge and gave 1007 00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:34,320 him ice. To to fix his eye and that was 1008 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:35,760 it. That was it. 1009 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,120 There was no like in school suspend, there was nothing. 1010 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:39,880 There was nobody even investigated. 1011 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,280 They were just like, that's the way it is now. 1012 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,040 You'd have a suing, you'd have, you know, parents, you'd have 1013 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,560 social media, you'd have Facebook, you'd have cyber, you 1014 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:48,840 know, you'd have all this crazy shit. 1015 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:53,040 So yeah, again, don't use it. You know, don't use it unless 1016 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:54,280 you feel like you absolutely have to. 1017 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:55,840 It's super important that you don't care. 1018 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:57,960 What's your favorite food now? I know you change all the time. 1019 00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,000 My favorite food right now, right as we speak, right now, 1020 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:06,120 this is going to sound really weird, but I've become so I talk 1021 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,840 about becoming addicted to something that's easy usually. 1022 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,560 So in the past, you know, I was joking, I was always addicted to 1023 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,200 Uncrustables. I love those fucking things. 1024 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,760 You grab a box of them, that's your day or or snack, whatever, 1025 00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:18,480 you know, you just grab them, you chew them up. 1026 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,800 So I found this company that makes a bagged precooked spicy 1027 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,040 chicken wing and it's a very good brand. 1028 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,360 It's not super expensive and they're just at the right spice 1029 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:30,200 level. They're hot. 1030 00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,720 They are definitely hot. Like you eat two in a row and 1031 00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:35,080 you're like, OK, this is it's. Growing, you know, it's getting 1032 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:39,880 up into my nose, onto my mouth, starting to burn, but because of 1033 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,360 the way I usually fast. I'm usually fasted. 1034 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,240 I'm definitely in keto most of the time, but I'm usually 1035 00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:47,360 fasted. So those chicken wings are 1036 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:48,960 great. One time I was in the chat with 1037 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,040 a bunch of people and I was just like, Oh my God. 1038 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,040 I got the like the bag of the spicy chicken wings where all 1039 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:55,920 the spice had fallen to the bottom of the bag. 1040 00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,160 And this was the bag. It's like the last bag. 1041 00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,240 It was like a milkshake with all of the best parts of the bottom 1042 00:51:01,240 --> 00:51:04,080 of a milkshake as a milkshake. But this was the heat, man. 1043 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,600 It was a spice. I've, I cooked those things up, 1044 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:07,800 couldn't smell the difference, right? 1045 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,040 Grabbed them. I was like, yeah, man, this 1046 00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,400 isn't so bad. I took a bite of 1, took another 1047 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,680 bite and it it grew quicker and I was like, OK, I'll be fine. 1048 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,120 Took two or three, grabbed another wing. 1049 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,120 I was about halfway through the other wing and I was like Rat 1050 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,320 Row. And I mean that shit. 1051 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,120 It was like it was probably, it felt twice as strong as normal 1052 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,880 work through them, of course, but boy did that roll my stomach 1053 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,680 for a couple hours. Man, I was not prepared for 1054 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,240 that. That was like right at the cusp 1055 00:51:34,240 --> 00:51:35,080 of. Of. 1056 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,080 Comfortable handling, you know, no eye burning or anything like 1057 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,160 that, but it was just like, whoa, you know, have to and get 1058 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,280 some air in there. But yeah, for right now, that's 1059 00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,080 what I'm addicted to, man. It's, it's good. 1060 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,880 I have some spicy wings. I work out fasted. 1061 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:50,440 I like to work out in the morning fasted. 1062 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,760 Then I like to work out in the evening if I can. 1063 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,400 And if I do, it'll usually be a couple hours after that. 1064 00:51:56,720 --> 00:51:59,400 And I like to go to bed not hungry. 1065 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,600 So I have to really time it very, very particular when I 1066 00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:07,360 time my eating at night, I sort of have to judge how much energy 1067 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:11,560 I have so I can go to bed where I'm not hungry because that's 1068 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,680 really hard to go to bed. If I'm super hungry, it's I get 1069 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,720 really restless. But where I can go to bed and 1070 00:52:16,720 --> 00:52:19,280 just feel comfortable and stuff like that and not uncomfortable. 1071 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,920 Man, one of the worst things going to bed when you have a 1072 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,120 full belly. I'm sorry, I know I was talking 1073 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,320 to maybe it was, it might have been Jay, it might have been 1074 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:28,520 void. It was somebody, but somebody 1075 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,160 was like, yeah, maybe it was solar, but somebody's like, 1076 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:32,760 yeah, no, it was solar. He's like, yeah, I can go to 1077 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,560 bed, you know, just with a full belly, blah, blah, blah. 1078 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,160 And I'm like, dude, well, of course that guy can go to bed in 1079 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,560 the middle of like a war, dude. They'd be bombing him and he'd 1080 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,000 just be falling asleep in the trenches. 1081 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,680 But seriously, that's not me, man. 1082 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,600 If I'm even slightly like, you know, filled stomach or 1083 00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,400 whatever, it's very hard for me to sleep. 1084 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,720 It feels like a rough sleep the first two or three hours. 1085 00:52:52,720 --> 00:52:55,560 I I don't sleep very well. I sort of like that light sleep. 1086 00:52:56,240 --> 00:52:58,800 Where you're not super foiled, but yeah, currently that's my 1087 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,280 favorite thing. Eric, what's your favorite rock 1088 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,240 star or Monster Energy drink right now? 1089 00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:07,720 It is probably right now it's orange from Monster. 1090 00:53:07,720 --> 00:53:10,000 I can't believe this because this is a newer type. 1091 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,600 I haven't drank. I I was a big cranberry fan, a 1092 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,320 big white. I've got one in front of me 1093 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:15,600 called like. Zero. 1094 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,600 Well, they're all called 0. What is this? 1095 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,800 It's a white one. I think it's a cranberry type 1096 00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,880 and it's good. You know, it's not super 1097 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,800 cranberry. I think it's like a mix. 1098 00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:25,920 But anyway, it's the white, right? 1099 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,160 And then I ended up getting a couple others and trying them. 1100 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,880 Fruit Punch isn't sold a bunch here, but it's pretty good. 1101 00:53:33,720 --> 00:53:40,520 And then I got super addicted to pineapple and then I believe a 1102 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,240 cranberry. Yeah, cranberry I got super 1103 00:53:43,240 --> 00:53:46,720 addicted to. And now I'm massively addicted 1104 00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:49,520 to orange. It it, it popped up at our store 1105 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,840 here and I was like, I'm not an orange fan of I wasn't even an 1106 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,200 orange juice fan when I was a kid. 1107 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,920 I love oranges though, man. Slicing an orange in half and 1108 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,280 just biting into that son of a bitch and just eating it's. 1109 00:53:58,560 --> 00:53:59,520 Delicious. I love. 1110 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,720 Oranges. But yeah, it's good. 1111 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,280 I like things super tart. I like when they have a bit of a 1112 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,200 bite to them, so that's what I usually like. 1113 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,400 But you got to watch out. Can't have two many of those 1114 00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,680 things because, well, normal person can't. 1115 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,520 My too many is probably twice as many as your too many, if not 1116 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,520 three times as too many as your too many. 1117 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,760 But yeah, you don't want to drink too many of those. 1118 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:20,600 Carrick, I know you have problems sleeping. 1119 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,800 Give me one sleep aid that you use. 1120 00:54:23,240 --> 00:54:26,200 So I'm assuming it means non medical because I do have to 1121 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,400 take Ambien a lot of times outside of that. 1122 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,720 I'll tell you a sleep trick that does work for me. 1123 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:32,800 That's outside of the white noise and outside of anything 1124 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,160 else. It's if you have nothing. 1125 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,000 It is. I believe originally there's 1126 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,160 it's apocryphal. You know, you don't don't know 1127 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,200 exactly where the story came from or if it's true. 1128 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:42,680 I've heard it's a military trick. 1129 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,640 I've also heard his Boy Scouts. I've heard it in 4H. 1130 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,200 So I don't know where this trick came from, but it does generally 1131 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,280 work. So normally when I lay down, 1132 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,800 I'll usually find out I'm tense in some part of my body. 1133 00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,800 So I'll lay down and I'll think I'm comfortable and then I'll 1134 00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,400 realize I'm holding my arm almost my head off of the pillow 1135 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,240 for a little bit or something where I'll I'll notice something 1136 00:55:01,240 --> 00:55:03,800 is tense. And I had heard from one of my 1137 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,320 friends who was in the military. He was also in 4H like me. 1138 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:11,600 He was in, he was in the military, he was in Boy Scott, I 1139 00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,840 think he was in everything. But he told me about a trick 1140 00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,800 that did pretty much work. And basically what happens is 1141 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,680 you lay down. You tense your feet sort of as 1142 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,440 hard as you. Can like you're just straining. 1143 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,600 You can put your feet together and sort of push against one 1144 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,280 another. You can sort of curl your toes 1145 00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,560 up or down if you don't get calf cramps. 1146 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,840 So that doesn't give you 1. You do that for about 10 1147 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,120 seconds. Then you do the same with your 1148 00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,640 legs, almost like you're stretching your legs, but you're 1149 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,400 sort of locking your knee and pushing so that your thigh 1150 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,480 muscles engaged and your hamstrings are engaged. 1151 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,040 And then you do the same thing with your stomach, almost like 1152 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,920 you're doing a diver, A diver push where you hold in your 1153 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,000 breath and you tighten on your stomach. 1154 00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,320 And you do that for about 10 to 15 seconds. 1155 00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,920 And then you do the same thing with your shoulders, almost like 1156 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,680 you're just tensing like a kid when they're ready to poop, You 1157 00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:57,800 know, when they're shaking, when they're like, I gotta pulp. 1158 00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,240 And you do that. You do make balls with your 1159 00:56:00,240 --> 00:56:02,560 fists. You do that for about 15 seconds 1160 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,880 and then try to do something sort of in your neck area, 1161 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:10,320 shoulders higher up. And then once you do that, about 1162 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:16,120 10 to 15 seconds each, you will fall into a generally much more 1163 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,560 relaxed state. That is true. 1164 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,920 I can guarantee. I cannot guarantee it'll help 1165 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,760 you sleep because I don't think many things guarantee I can 1166 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,560 sleep. But I can tell you that every 1167 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,000 single time I remember to do it every single time. 1168 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:34,200 This is, I can say this with 100 percent, 100% efficiency for me. 1169 00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,280 Every single time I've done it, I've realized some part of my 1170 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,800 body was tense. I was, there was something I 1171 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:43,880 didn't realize I was stressing against in bed, my foot, you 1172 00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,320 know, on a blanket with a blanket between my legs or 1173 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,520 something where I didn't really realize it and I wasn't super 1174 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,720 comfortable that way or something. 1175 00:56:51,720 --> 00:56:55,520 And that little bit of tenseness and then relaxing, huge 1176 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,800 difference in how I sort of sink into the bed. 1177 00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,840 And I think for a lot of people, the comfort of the bed, the lack 1178 00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:02,960 of irritation, whatever they can get, that's going to be your 1179 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,760 number one way of doing it. But yeah, I would say for me, 1180 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,160 working out is terrible. I've heard people say work out. 1181 00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,120 For me, working out usually just tells my brain it's ready to 1182 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,520 fight. So I'll be up for another 8 1183 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,880 hours at. So working out is not something 1184 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,800 you would hear me suggest unless it's something like restless 1185 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:22,960 legs, which might help you. But for most people, I think, I 1186 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,960 think that's, I think that's sort of a myth. 1187 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,200 It doesn't seem to help that much. 1188 00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,640 Carrick, I've heard you talk about the zombie apocalypse many 1189 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,280 times and how you would off everybody. 1190 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:35,880 How would you defend your home? I mean, I mean, listen, if the 1191 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,400 zombies were attacking, the first thing I would do, I do 1192 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:40,120 have double dead bolts. Double dead bolts. 1193 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,720 Also have a. Gate lock, gate locked up. 1194 00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:47,120 I also have my car, So what I would probably do is pull a car 1195 00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,480 up to the door so somebody couldn't get through the door 1196 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,760 because my car's ass into my car would be directly up against my 1197 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,160 door. I'd move as much stuff away from 1198 00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,040 my windows as humanly possible. On the inside. 1199 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,280 I have a gate on one side. I have a play a way. 1200 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,280 I'm not going to say how to reinforce that to the point to 1201 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,280 where I don't think anybody's getting through it. 1202 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,040 Then you got the back door, the back door. 1203 00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,240 I'd pull the dogs in the back door. 1204 00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,640 I have multiple bits of lawn furniture. 1205 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,520 I would pile all that up in front of the lawn, in front of 1206 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,040 that door, and I would lock that up. 1207 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,840 I also have a quick release for our generator that's outside, as 1208 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:25,840 well as a remote start for the generator. 1209 00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,360 They're already inside the house and those wires while they are 1210 00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,720 in a place that I would consider to be not as secure against like 1211 00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,200 a zombie invasion, but secure enough. 1212 00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,480 So I we would be set on the inside from that point on. 1213 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,400 I grabbed the old guns that I do have. 1214 00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,560 I would they don't need to be that they need to be loaded. 1215 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,560 I don't I don't keep them. I keep them right next to 1216 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:48,520 whatever it is that needs to go in them. 1217 00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,760 But I don't keep, you know, a bulletin chamber or something 1218 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,040 like that. I'm not that kind of person. 1219 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:55,560 So those are there. I would have those and then flip 1220 00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,000 the beds over the windows on the inside of the house so that you 1221 00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,240 always have something soft behind something hard. 1222 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:06,560 A lot of people don't realize that, but especially even even 1223 00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:10,680 people the much as much friction as you can get, you know, for 1224 00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,200 somebody trying to get into something, put a bed against a 1225 00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,320 window, somebody busts the window, they still got to get 1226 00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,080 that bed moved to the side. And you have to put constant 1227 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,600 reinforced pressure on my bed. And our bed is a monster. 1228 00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:26,160 It is heavier than I've ever in my life experienced in a bed way 1229 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:27,960 heavier than a water bed, which I've owned. 1230 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,320 It's one of those ones that has its own vibration. 1231 00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,240 Both sides can do their thing, like raise lower. 1232 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,840 It's got its own metal supports. I can flip that up, though. 1233 00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,880 I can flip it sideways. I can't pick it up at all. 1234 00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,960 And I mean, I'm strong and that thing is ridiculous. 1235 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,440 Lock that up and then grab all my swords. 1236 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,760 I got some Bud Gay swords here from when I was 18. 1237 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,480 Throw those out 'cause you never know. 1238 00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:51,600 There's no reason to waste a bullet when you can chop a 1239 00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,680 zombie's arm off with a sword, right? 1240 00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,040 And then, you know, hey, at that point you got to pick off a 1241 00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,680 couple neighbors so that they, you know, the zombies can eat 1242 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,560 them, right? You got to, you got to slow them 1243 01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,720 down and then and then make sure the dogs are inside. 1244 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,120 Well, they would be inside, dogs would be inside and I'd be in 1245 01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:08,920 there. And then, you know, it's a 1246 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,640 waiting game, right? You got to figure out the 1247 01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:12,880 waiting game that all these zombie movies always have. 1248 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:16,840 The zombies basically breaking quantum level energy. 1249 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,920 One of the things that zombie movies always crack me up about 1250 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,440 isn't that something can live after a weird point, like you 1251 01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:28,080 see with the parasites on flies that ride them around like skin 1252 01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,680 cars and can control them. We see that clickers, that kind 1253 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,400 of stuff. We see that kind of stuff, but 1254 01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,920 with no energy going in, nothing in the universe can work with no 1255 01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,800 energy coming into it. And so you get these times where 1256 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,640 the zombies aren't eaten and they're milling around, dude, 1257 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,160 wouldn't take very long before those things would shut the fuck 1258 01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:47,360 off completely shut off there. I mean, just like even if they 1259 01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:51,040 were digesting their bones, they would be shut off because you 1260 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,080 would digest like if you were, let's say you had a virus inside 1261 01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,280 of you that not only digested the food, your fat that you had 1262 01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,640 inside you brain power down to your lizard complex so you're 1263 01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,240 still able to bite. Breathe. 1264 01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,000 Well, you don't need to breathe, I guess. 1265 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,120 You know, you do though. We're going to say the zombies 1266 01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,840 need to breathe in some way because dude, again, lack of 1267 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:10,240 power. But if we're talking about a 1268 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,840 zombie, zombie, like a infection kind of thing, yeah, easy to 1269 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:15,000 take out. If we're talking about the rage 1270 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,000 virus, also pretty easy to take out. 1271 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,400 I mean, you know, you just got to be quiet and I have places to 1272 01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,200 be quiet in my house. As well so. 1273 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,440 You know, you just got to make sure the dogs have some food. 1274 01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,800 I would make sure the dogs eat before me because I can always 1275 01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,720 hunt dogs. My dogs are not. 1276 01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,640 My dogs are not hunters, man. Our little dog. 1277 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,280 Sigh. He thinks he's a hunter. 1278 01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:38,000 And so like squirrels will come out and that guy's zero 200 at 1279 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:42,840 least in his rate of attack on these, these chipmunks stymie 1280 01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,840 this dog something fierce because they're small, they're 1281 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,200 fast and they're loud. And he does not like that. 1282 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,320 And that chipmunk will be up there celebrating, running over 1283 01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,720 the top of that dog's head. And the dog will run up try to 1284 01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:58,040 run up the fence and the, and the chipmunk is just like just 1285 01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,800 laughing at him. Just it's like, you know, that 1286 01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:02,760 they have their own language and they're up there going like this 1287 01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,240 fucking idiot. On the other hand, hey, it only 1288 01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,560 takes one mess up before my dog. Probably. 1289 01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,560 Well, not probably. I'm sure he would kill. 1290 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:11,640 He's he's killed a bird. I think we had a bird in the 1291 01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:13,840 backyard and he chased the bird down for some reason. 1292 01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:15,560 He just and then did nothing with it. 1293 01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:18,080 You know, typical, typical chase behavior in a dog. 1294 01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,280 That'd be how I'd prepare myself. 1295 01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,200 And I have enough Mr. ES and random shit in my house. 1296 01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,360 We would be prepped. I got board games, we'd be 1297 01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:26,920 playing board games. I'd be laughing. 1298 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,440 I would probably occasionally try to get some to go to another 1299 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:34,280 location, though. I'm a big fan of diversion, and 1300 01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,840 we have a really nice spot here. We're near a park, we're near 1301 01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,320 some other houses. I'd probably figure out a way to 1302 01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,520 make some sounds across the way that were separated from us to 1303 01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:46,000 get to get them to go, you know, to that location, that kind of 1304 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,280 stuff. It depends on where they were 1305 01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:48,240 and where I was trying to get them. 1306 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,880 But I've got some diversionary tactics, like, you know, just in 1307 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:52,280 case you're attacked by zombies, right? 1308 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,920 Just in case. And all you really got to do is 1309 01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:56,360 stop one from being able to eat you. 1310 01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,760 I mean, and then, you know, if they're trying to, I mean, if 1311 01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,200 they're still alive in some way and it's like just their head is 1312 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:03,640 still biting. Like you see in some of the 1313 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,000 movies. I just chop their heads off and 1314 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,040 put them all around the ring of my house so that like if people 1315 01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,280 tried to get in, they'd have to fight through the zombies to get 1316 01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:13,560 to me. You know, it's about that's one 1317 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:14,960 of the things about zombie movies, man. 1318 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,120 You see people making some really dumb mistakes. 1319 01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:18,560 I would also team up with people, though. 1320 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,240 You see people like not teaming up. 1321 01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,360 They most humans die alone. It's it's so strange because 1322 01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:28,520 every single culture in humanity has like being ostracized. 1323 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,960 It's built into cultures. It really is built in as as 1324 01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:36,480 basically you are doomed, right? There is very few people. 1325 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,240 I don't know if there is a story of somebody who is ostracized 1326 01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,360 without supplies, who's lived. It's possible. 1327 01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,400 And I'm sure there's been a hunter who is ostracized, who's 1328 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,600 lived. But if being ostracized from a 1329 01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,480 culture, especially without electricity or something like 1330 01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:55,480 that, you know, and and not being prepped for it, not having 1331 01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,120 that be your plan is usually sure death. 1332 01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,960 And it even happens here on the Pacific Northwest, a freezing 1333 01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:01,760 night. That's all you need. 1334 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:03,240 We have homeless people who pass away. 1335 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:07,080 We have, you know, like weather, nature, you can die of the 1336 01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:11,120 craziest shit, a single scratch. You get tetanus, you know, all 1337 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:14,480 these things, right. So you do got to you do got to 1338 01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,080 join up with somebody every once in awhile. 1339 01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:18,560 So I would probably join up with somebody, but I'd always be 1340 01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,680 watching them, right? Watching them for infection 1341 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,200 where you're just eating and you have the gun aimed at them the 1342 01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:24,840 entire time. And they're like, dude, can you 1343 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:26,240 put the gun down? And you're like, no, I trust 1344 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:27,720 you, man. But just I'm never putting this 1345 01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:29,200 gun down. Scraping their nose when they're 1346 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,240 trying to eat because you just got the barrel against their 1347 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:32,080 face. I'm just joking. 1348 01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,400 But yeah, that's that's how I defend my house. 1349 01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,040 I got enough weapons and stuff like that. 1350 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,920 I actually feel pretty comfortable about where we are 1351 01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,000 and what we do against a zombie invasion. 1352 01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,440 We were actually joking around one day if like Red Dawn 1353 01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,680 happened, you know, like if N Koreans, Chinese, something like 1354 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,400 that invaded, like what, what, what what would you do? 1355 01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:54,640 And I'd be like, listen, every single defense that you have 1356 01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,080 planned falls apart in the wake of that. 1357 01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,400 Every prepper, anybody you see in the military videos, even the 1358 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,600 best Navy Seals, the best Delta Force, they'll be like, oh, I 1359 01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:05,840 would do this and I would do that. 1360 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,880 But I think when you really sat them down and we're like, no, 1361 01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:15,040 no, no, listen, we're talking about an invading force, the 1362 01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:20,440 best invading forces coming into your place with overwhelming 1363 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,040 odds. Yeah, you're in deep shit, 1364 01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:23,520 right? You're in deep shit. 1365 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,240 Like, there's you. You would have to find a place 1366 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:28,400 that was, I mean, especially with technology now with 1367 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,480 people's abilities to see heat, heat sensors and stuff like that 1368 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:35,600 that are so far beyond where they can see you and you know, 1369 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:36,960 drones and all that kind of stuff. 1370 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,000 You'd be in deep shit if something like that happened. 1371 01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,640 I think drones have changed the changed the universe, man. 1372 01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:45,840 Drones are amazing, but I think the technology and the 1373 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,960 situations we're in now, things have just gotten incredibly 1374 01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,880 difficult with drones. They become, so they've advanced 1375 01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:56,600 in the wartime effort so fast that really their commercial and 1376 01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:01,120 personalization efforts, the fun the racing have really they have 1377 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:05,040 a, they have an almost a vibe to him now that I've noticed with 1378 01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,400 some of the people that I have who have drones where they 1379 01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:13,680 almost feel, I guess I would say inhibited from enjoying them 1380 01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:18,680 because of the feeling of terror they elicit from people so much 1381 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:23,760 now because of just, I mean, just because of the of what we 1382 01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,320 have right now. Will that return people enjoy 1383 01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:27,520 them later? Absolutely. 1384 01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,120 Just like people enjoy guns now, even though they've killed many 1385 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,880 people, it'll be one of those things that, you know, hopefully 1386 01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,080 we can get back to enjoying. I love a good drone. 1387 01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:38,960 Actually I'm more of Arc plane, but yeah, I love that. 1388 01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:40,760 But anyway, that's how I would defend my house. 1389 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:44,760 It's a good question, Carrick console or PC? 1390 01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:56,000 Oh, right now probably if if you wanted to just get in and play 1391 01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:57,520 as many games as. Possible. 1392 01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:59,600 I don't know what a Series S costs. 1393 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:04,520 But unless a series S has dramatically increased in price, 1394 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,400 I think there's only one or two games that don't work on that. 1395 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,640 I'm not saying they all work well, but I'm, I'm legitimately 1396 01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,200 talking about like if you're just trying to save money and 1397 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,560 get into gaming, that might be your system right there, which 1398 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,760 is crazy. But that's really in all 1399 01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:21,320 honesty, it, I mean, obviously Playstation's got great games, 1400 01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,000 but that, you know, you could go PS4. 1401 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,880 Actually, if we're talking, I, I assumed you were talking about 1402 01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:30,640 like right now, then I would say that when it comes to PC, we all 1403 01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:34,000 use our PCs for many things other than just games, as Johnny 1404 01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:35,640 and I were talking about on Friday on the podcast. 1405 01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,800 But I still don't think, I just don't think it's an easy sale 1406 01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:43,360 anymore, especially if, you know, dual use when you start to 1407 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:44,640 say, yeah, I use it for other things. 1408 01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:48,240 It's like, OK, you want APC to be able to play game and also 1409 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,000 render. Well, then that's a completely 1410 01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,800 different PC than if you want a game that's just or if you want 1411 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,000 a system that can play games on low and they've all risen in 1412 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:57,400 price. It's a hard question, man, It's 1413 01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:58,960 a hard question. I mean, you could say a switch, 1414 01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,920 but I don't think switch or switch to have the third party 1415 01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:05,400 support that I think we would all love to see from those. 1416 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,760 So you I can also say, weirdly enough, I don't know what they 1417 01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:10,800 cost anymore. I I know they raised in price. 1418 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,040 I don't think they're worth it anymore. 1419 01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:14,880 But back in the day when you looked at something like a 1420 01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:18,279 Legion and you were like, hey, I got APC and a handheld and this 1421 01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:21,080 PC can actually play PC games at a low rate. 1422 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,920 But they can play them. They can they can watch movies 1423 01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,160 and transmit an HDMI signal to something. 1424 01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:30,040 You know they were APC right now, you really can't say that, 1425 01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,000 which is sad. Anyway, that's it for me. 1426 01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,760 If he got this far, hashtag hot take. 1427 01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:36,640 I appreciate all you guys listening. 1428 01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:37,760 I hope you're having a good week. 1429 01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,439 Well, I'm going to try to do maybe one more of these this 1430 01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,479 week. It's sort of a down week because 1431 01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:44,439 of the videos. I'm going to look and see what I 1432 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,920 got to cover. I might do the best games of 1433 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:48,960 next month coming out. There's not a lot, so I'm going 1434 01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,160 to have to look at that a little sharper this month. 1435 01:08:51,319 --> 01:08:54,040 But anyway, that's it for me. Hope you guys have an awesome 1436 01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:55,319 week. Thanks for listening. 1437 01:08:55,319 --> 01:08:58,279 Appreciate you all, peace out and enjoy the rest of your week.
