[Assistant] I have nothing to contribute. You watched a couple episodes of Stranger Things. Yea, you always have something to contribute. I don't know. I mean, honestly, I just, I'm, the more you're talking about this, the less I want to play Pokemon Go. Me too. I was like, I'm hearing all this, I tuned out for a bit. You don't like exploring? No, not at all. I like air conditioning. Am I gonna go outside? It's hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watched two episodes and then Jess went to Palm Springs for a day. And I was talking to her about that last night and I'm like, we shouldn't have started a new series before you left. And she's like, yea, I was thinking the same thing. So she's trying to catch up on Mr. Robot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you just get it seasonally? I, I might just cancel it. Yeaah. Because I pretty much got it for Game of Thrones and then they just stack all the good shows. So it's Veep, Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, and then they're like, Stay tuned for Ballers! Canceled. Hey, Rock is the highest paid actor in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, there's probably some king's blood in there, which means there's a bunch of cousins fucking each other. Which isn't bad, whereas like, the rock is the perfect specimen. He's got, uh, what is he, uh, he's got Samoan in him, which is like, those are the big dudes. Yeah, he's just, he's the perfect man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically him and Rihanna are what future people will look like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that was Elisa's thing. She said, move over Wachowski sisters. Yea, the Duffer Brothers are here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, so I was gonna say though, in terms of the monthly services I pay for, Hulu, Netflix, HBO, and Amazon, you know, which just comes with Amazon Prime, I'm only watching Netflix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love Chase Morgan commercial. I love that one commercial. It's cut halfway through and you're like, on to the next one. The problem with Hulu is it's the same commercial 52 times. You're like, if there's any way you want me to hate freaking Kia or any other


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This goes for everyone, try to put yourself in other people's shoes, which I know you won't because the internet loves mob justice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About a week ago, before the attacks, almost longer, we played a game called WarTruck Simulator. It was longer. It was three days before the attacks, I made the thumbnail, and there's a part in the video where I think I was playing and I ran someone over, and so I was like, oh, I always put blood splatters on thumbnails because it's funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We uploaded and made that thumbnail at least three days before the attacks. Uh, the way we operate is we upload stuff early. We, it's, it's ready to go. We schedule it out, like sometimes a week ahead, sometimes a couple days ahead, sometimes hours ahead. Like it's all different, but YouTube allows you to do that. Uh, the Rooster Teeth website allows you to do that where you can schedule things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next twelve, thirteen, fifteen videos that were being produced. There are how many people in our office? Eleven?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looked at the tragedy that happened in France and at the thumbnail and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, we should change that. No one noticed it. That was the thing. It was in and out of our minds. We moved on and said, okay. So the video went up and people said, you are capitalizing on this tragedy. At which I said, honestly, no. We didn't even, it did not even cross our minds. It's not something that we actively did. Said, well, you need to change it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can't predict future events, but at the same time too, I can't retroactively


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly, like I, if someone contacted me and said I was in these attacks and your thumbnail upsets me, please change it, then I would have a different tone. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, when someone is saying, well I'm triggered, I'm like, well I can't help you with that because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, that may have been the timeline, that may have been a couple days before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fourteenth would be Thursday. And so the thumbnail was made the day before. Yes. And it was sitting in the upload folder. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a day already. We played that war truck game almost two weeks ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It all comes down to bad timing. There was no ill intention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure. That's why I made that tweet where I'm like, okay, we'll joke about China.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's like, the way I look at it, it's like we always, we liken ourselves to the South Park attitude which is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I was gonna say, just, at the end of the day, use your judgement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's like the freedom of speech thing, uh, there are, uh, there's a risk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we did our job like we do every day and our goal is usually try to make you laugh. Unless it's an Overwatch video, then we're just having fun on...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't Taylor fit thumbnails to your liking? Taylor Swift? She's blowing up on Twitter though, huh? Yea, no, T-Swift.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was curious about that, in that case, like say we were making gambling videos, would we agegate those? Because you have to be over certain age to gamble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No level editor. Don R. editor was very upset about that. Well, the fact that it has platforming maybe why it doesn't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought they were trying to build that in at some point. Good question, I don't recall. Oh yea, because I thought that was something that was coming. And that sounds like, you know, a lot like the Star Trek thing. That's definitely yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it feels like one of those video games that should have kind of always had it, you know, like it's like, I feel like once, well, if the vibe actually, you know, if it works well with Fallout, you'll be like, why did I never play this game without this? You know, it feels like something that you need to make it a more immersive video game. Absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure that they'll have some sort of, some like, cause I mean the two motion controls, they usually have something that will help you move, you know, you can do this or whatever and your character will go. Right. I'm sure that they'll have that, I'm sure they'll build better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got out of there in like an hour and 20, I want to say, and like, I think, was it last year that it was two hours? It felt like two hours to almost two, like two hours and fifteen minutes. Oh, for setting? I could be wrong. Yea, but it was, it was really, really long. It was a lot of talking about powers, a lot of talking about just other, just like weird company initiatives that they know gamers don't care about. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was going to say, it's not, well, it's not really, I feel like there's a larger, very large barrier to entry with Chivalry. Where like, you know, like it's kind of fun for 20 minutes to get out there and swing an axe or whatever, but then after a while you just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah. Yeah. Ubisoft does that really well though. They make you feel like you're doing really really cool stuff once you've learned the mechanics. And it doesn't take that long to learn. Typically. Usually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was the, that was the game, I actually played that game, uh, I watched my roommate play it and I played it and, man, it was bad. The, uh, the Spiderman on, was it 360? There were several of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and it wasn't, it wasn't anything, like it tried to be like the movie and it wasn't anything like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see. We were, I mean, we were talking about earlier, Lawrence, the generation gap about how like we are sort of like, who cares about stories, you're just gonna hit buttons type thing. Yea. But then obviously there are a lot of gamers that are like, oh man, I can't wait to drive around on a motorcycle with my buddies and like. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like, kill, shoot zombies, I guess, and find out why you're doing that. So, I, there is a whole, there are, I guess there's a whole, you know, section of the audience that likes this, that we're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We keep trying to, I don't wanna put them down, but it's more of like, well, you're right, we're just gonna hit buttons. And like, you get really upset even though you're drunk, but you get really upset about Horizon Zero Dawn having dialogue trees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to think they're probably as jaded as we are, even though they've only been, they've been playing a lot less games than we have, but maybe they're not. Maybe, maybe they, you know, maybe they're like, oh, I can't wait to talk to that robotic dinosaur about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm, I guess Death Stranding I'm relatively excited about, only because I'm curious to see if it is anything like PT. Uhm, here, you should probably play this. Oh no. Sorry. I can't talk and play this well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I thought Microsoft showed really well, too. Like, I was like, I was like, wow, this is a really good press conference, and then Sony just totally blew them out of the water. So, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm probably not gonna end up playing that unless it's just like at a friend's house for a little bit or whatever, but it won't be me sitting down to play Resident Evil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's still, I mean like that, it's funny because E3 is less about the games I'm excited to play because you really, I think you hit the nail on the head which is like you're just going to end up pressing buttons. Right. You know, and like, so I'm more excited to find out what the reviews are like and if people are enjoying them because then I'll probably end up getting into them if it's something I need to play. Uh, I am, what gets me really excited is to find out what company


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, or what video game shows the best. And I thought what was really surprising and fun was the COD demo. Yeah. Because everyone was like, this isn't COD, no, this is something else. Like, they were all kind of guessing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because I mean like none of us thought it was COD, uh, and eventually after a while I was like, this looks like Call of Duty, like this looks like the way they're going, uh, and it's, it's Infinity Ward, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. This time around? So I was very surprised to see that people actually were like, well, like they were kind of like, okay, alright, alright, nice job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, which I thought was, uh, was fun. So I, I'm more, uh, more excited to find out who surprises at E3 and less about like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't wait to play this game! Because right now Overwatch is taking up all my time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it'll be, see, I think it'll be different but familiar like it always is. Right. You know, like, once I started realizing the prompts were pretty much the same as COD and like- The reloading animation. Yeah, like, and you're gonna play through that level and be like, oh, that was cool. You know, like, that was the E3 level and like, it was COD. Right. Uhm, I just thought it was funny that they surprised everybody. That's all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that in the case you really wanted a skin, it's on the store. That's true. So it's on, so what happens is you can put it up for auction and you can sell it and so then, then it becomes like it's own economy, which I think is really, really cool and I'm hoping Overwatch is going that way with it. So like if you unlock a skin, you can sell your skin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I hope that's where Blizzard goes with it, because, uh. They tried that with Diablo. Uhm, they did, but it was a total failure. I don't know why though. I know it failed like right away, but I don't know why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for having me guys, hopefully I only add and don't detract anything from this wonderful podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at his glistening muscles. Did you guys talk less or more about slavery because I'm here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably was. When I think of the production of Suicide Squad, I think of a movie that got announced in 2014 at Comic Con. They said they were making Suicide Squad. And then David Ayer had about six weeks to write a script, which probably got then got like mulled over by a bunch of different people and executives. And then got made, got a bunch of like, you know, photography that got sent back and redone. And then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was cut by a trailer house. David Ayer did it cut too, but the studio picked the trailer house cut. So I'd like to see David Ayer's cut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think David Ayer, like, looking at his, like, the six other features he's done, or five other features, he likes those, like, gritty, gritty little, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of very, like, tight procedurals. Like, end of watch. I don't- I personally did not really like that movie. But that seems more like his forte.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't contribute at all. He said, uh, I was born here, you're a Taurus. I think that was his exact- I memorized all the Killer Crocs lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His head was huge, he kinda had a barrel chest and then his arms were like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently Jared Leto, he like stayed in character, he method acted it, where he stayed in character, even when he was in scenes performing, and there were some actors that said they never met the real Jared Leto. That was a quote, I forget who it was, but somebody said I never met the real Jared Leto.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The book is very, it's somewhat short as well, so like, he built a framing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, this is sort of unrelated, but it's pretty, like, topical right now, and our community might find it topical. But I'm, I've been reading, like, the rehearsal script for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the, like, London play that's happening right now. And, uh, it feels like fan fiction to me. I've heard it's bad. I've heard it's real bad. And I, and then it's funny, because I was talking to, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, Jack from Achievement Hunter's wife Katie, who's like a big Harry Potter fan, and she's like, well, she's like, yeah, Jack said it feels like fan service, and I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When does it, like, what is the line between, like, fanservice and fanfiction? Cause, like, to me I'm like, this is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not to say that fan fiction is bad in quality, but to me it doesn't necessarily embody, like, the subtlety of the Harry Potter books, which I know you said, like, there's no subtlety. I wasn't going to say that. There is no subtlety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking forward to Aquaman. Don't care about Aquaman, but James Wan is directing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kenneth Branagh made a Thor movie. Yeah. And like Tycho, Wa-Tiki, Wa-Kee-Dee or whatever that- TD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, he's making Thor Ragnarok, and we're like, this is incredible, but like, these are directors that you would, they're not Michael Bayes that you would ever...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw them in like 2006, 2007 in Toronto and Weezer was fantastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, they came out wearing, like, full, like, Canada track suits. But I'm like, man, they must have been sweating so hard in those, but they kept them on for so long. I was talking to Jess about this, though, your wife. But, uh, I was saying to her that it's funny, because she was telling me that you guys saw Panic at the disco, and then there was another opening band.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, who gives a fuck if he gives their name? I was saying to her that I feel like opening bands at concerts are like a time capsule. Because it's like, they're the band that they will never get their live show that they're heading. But they get that little glimpse of fame and they're very much a time capsule of the time. Because when I saw Weezer, Angels and Airwaves was opening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence, what movie is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's what you said exactly, right? Oh, yeah, word for word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But no, but I had played Titanfall, the first one. May have put probably like 50 hours into it when it came out. Brag about it. And I really enjoyed it, but this is the first time I've played Titanfall 2 or anything Titanfall related.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jeez, when did Titanfall 1 come out? 2013, 2014? Yeah, since like a month after that game's release and it was kind of like riding a bike because this game is just designed to be fluid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I don't, not too much change other than just like uhm, the addition of more classes and stuff, but something interesting that happened was, they put a lot of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Titanfall is a new Titanfall. I feel like, since the first one came out, it just, so many FPS's became about movement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And stuff. And now it's like Titanfall is the one-up itself and all the other games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way the description sounded, you go into like a different dimension, temporarily, so you can't see any enemies around you. But they can't see you either, and you're completely invulnerable. I like that. So, it's kind of like a risk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they added like, uhm, well, cause in the first game there was three titans. There was like a big, a medium, and a small one. They were like fast, slow, and right in the middle. But this one had like six titans, I think? And they were less about being fast, slow, and well-rounded. They all had very different, uhm, like class configurations and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, uh, this game type, I think it was called Bounty Hunt. Oh, okay. And when you get kills and just do cool things, then like, you see like it says right there, banks closed, it'll say banks open, you go and cash in all your money and that adds to your team's total. Gotcha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I chose the class with the grappling hook, I was asking a dev, like, if he had any tips. He's like, just pretend you're Spider-Man. And that's exactly what I did. You just, like, point at things and you swing around him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the last week. Oh wow. You're happy a lot, Jacob. Oh man, that was the only thing that happened the last week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Director of the Crow. Yea, and Dark City. Dark City, and the Knowing. Yea, the Knowing. I thought it was just Knowing. Just Knowing, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People keep asking me, let's get right down to it. People keep asking me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it worth going to see? Simple, simple answer is, if you saw that trailer and you're like, that looks like stupid fun, then yes, it is. If you see the trailer and you think, that looks fucking dumb, and I have no interest in that stupid piece of shit, then do not go see it, because you will not get anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I've been comparing it to a couple movies, Clash of the Titans and Jupiter Ascending. They're very similar, right? Uhm, I think it's better than both of those movies. I think it delivers on the promise that the film makes better than those movies did. Clash of the Titans is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About 15 minutes long, and then it goes back to giant Egyptian middle gods fighting each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna go ahead and say no. It's probably not. There's more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello there brother. It's also funny too because they're like, like obviously this movie got flackered for being whitewashed. That's right. But to make it historically accurate would be more absurd. Yea, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's probably even further, further into the world of cartoons. Yeah, absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're watching this movie going, I can't wait to tell my friends about this. I'm not. You're doing it wrong. No, I'm saying, I was watching this movie going, wow, Bruce would have really hated this. I'm having a great time. Bruce would have really hated this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elise saw it, so she's the test, because she had no interest in going. She's like, I'll go with you if you want me to go, and I was like, I can go by myself, she's like, I'll go with you, and about,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe an hour and fifteen minutes into the movie I looked over and she was like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, it's very on par. I was watching it thinking, it's very- for some reason they made an 80s fantasy- Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like never ending story, it's paced that way too, where it's like, and now onto our next quest, and our next quest, and our next quest. But, my thing is, if it's going to be,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you can tell from the trailer, the CG is not that good. You can tell. And so it's that CG. But I'm okay with that as long as it doesn't make me sit around and watch Shia LaBeouf go to a job interview beforehand. Or argue with his parents. Or fall in love. Or any of those things. If you put that in front of it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then it's gonna be harder for me to get into it. But I can watch bad CG all day. Like, there's shitty Bollywood films that have terrible CG or whatever, but they're entertaining because they just roll from one thing to the next thing. As long as you don't let me take a minute


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, then it doesn't matter. Then it doesn't need to be good. So another thing that's good, production design's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pacing of it is good. The fact that they were like, we have $140 million, we want to make a two hour movie. This is where things need to be. Wait, was it two hours? It was two hours and four minutes. This is where things need to be to make sure people don't go, oh shit, I'm in a theater, I paid $15 for this. And it does that. So those are the two things. CG's not good though. They clearly had that money out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you'll be in a tiny little corridor or whatever, so that way they don't have to do a CG world. This movie is like, as big as we can make it in every single scene, we're gonna make it as big as we can make it. So your characters are these tiny little things in these gi- there's one point where they're on the edge of a waterfall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Egypt is massive and huge. They're like, uhm, in a, even when they go up into space, they go up into space to fight, uh, Super Saiyan Jeffrey Rush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess out of a morbid curiosity I would want. I don't, I don't slow down for car wrecks and I don't go to freak shows, but I do see gods of Egypt. Yeah, that's a good way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, so yea, fantastically, there's a woman in front of us who, as the lights are going down, took her phone out and started watching the trailer for the movie, and I was like, you didn't know what you were getting into? You just walked into this? You said, I'll pick this one, the very last theater in the entire building, the smallest


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it rated R? No! No, PG-13, but man oh man, there's so many moments in this movie where you're like, oh, they gonna-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's actually pretty useful, actually. Like, he's not just like, oh no, I'm slip-sliding away! Like, he actually is, he's like weirdly athletic and stuff, so he gets involved in the action sequences. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The afterlife did not, was not open anymore. Okay, so that's the weird thing about this movie. It all makes sense! It's utterly commercially designed, right? Supposed to be palatable and really easy to swallow. But they're also HARDCORE!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's, it's like this weird, like, we're gonna stay, it's very much based in the Egyptian mythology kind of thing. So it's the balancing act of being utterly commercial and utterly ridiculous. So like, the bad guy wants to take over the world, and the only way he can do that, because he's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and just so you know, the conversation that we had is about as much, is about as much narrative that's contained in the movie. We, we summoned it up already. So that's basically it. And then you're watching, you're like, awesome. I mean, alright, there's a space worm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a stand out poor shot, but it is, it is like 5 seconds long. I'm gonna railroad this coverage, let's do an aggregate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's weird to think about living in like a paradise and still being like, I just want to go sit in a dark room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, in your dad's defense, you probably wouldn't have gotten much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's not, it's weird. Like literally, yes. Temperature wise, it's a hot place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not really, it's just so weird. I mean, honestly, like, they've already done


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The weird thing is they already have failures out there to show that that's a bad idea. So they've already done the Universal Monster Avengers thing with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, when you, when you do these things, I don't, I don't understand it. Those things you, you were just saying right now, it seems like no sensible studio executive should have been like- It's not sound logic. Okay, here is my 140 million dollars, go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By far, and this isn't diminishing everyone else, because Jamie Lannister was fine. That's all kinda bad. He was trying pretty hard, and I think you can see the optimism in his eyes, and he's like, I hope this puts me into a position to do more big producers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Gerard Butler is, like, steals every single scene that he's in, no matter how villainous or charming or whatever he is, he- he-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He does a pretty good job with what he had. He makes it fun, and like Lawrence said, he, even in his fight choreography, he is exciting, you know? He sells it a lot more. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like an inception, how they had Ken Watanabe do a lot of the acquisition. You're like, in a helicopter? Ken Watanabe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's modern times around there and everyone's just kind of in this area that's not- that they- they're pretending like it's olden. Sure. And then the movie came out like six months later and I was with at least half of that same group and then when the reveal happened they all just like looked at me. Cause it sucks!

[Assistant] I was trying to find something to do. So there's a, there's a point, uh, you know, where I was, I was paid to watch movies. Oh yea, the Mastering House. And, um, and so that movie came in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if that includes bullshit awards. It's creativity, so it's utterly, it's totally subjective, right? It's totally subjective. But, that being said...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not into sports, but boy oh boy do I appreciate the Super Bowl more than I appreciate the Academy Awards. Because the best team wins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's my biggest point. Mad Max won almost every single technical award. Every aspect of filmmaking. Except for. Except for best picture. Yea, I know, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And best directing! Who do you think hired the fucking cinematographer and the editor who, like, and the sound designer and the production designer who made that movie?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's why it doesn't make any sense. Because you're giving out all the pieces of that award. Objectively it doesn't make sense. It's like you're assembling the scarab from Aladdin. Except that it goes to someone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying, it would make more sense if a small committee of 12 people got together and they picked all the winners. And they are, they are considered in our society, they're like Supreme Court justices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are, there are movie people. And every, maybe every year they pick 12 new people and they do that. That would make more sense because then they would do those kinds of political decisions and it would make more sense when you looked at the whole thing. What this is, is a bunch of people going, I saw Mad Max, I really liked it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't feel comfortable giving a movie about racing through a desert best picture or best directing, but I'll give it all those other little


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shitty awards that we think don't matter, but actually just point out how hypocritical we are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I thought Mad Max had best editing, but I really like the production design of Spotlight or Bridge of Spies or like, oh, like you mix it around. The reason it ended with all the technical awards going to Mad Max and then just not those other big ticks is you're literally watching


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree, I agree, I agree with Adam. I mean obviously an academy award can mean the difference between, we wouldn't have the revenant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, I agree. The more, the more you're, you, I think, because like I said, creativity is utterly subjective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then there's some stuff that isn't so subjective, like you can see the difference there, like determining the best actor seems really silly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought Leonardo DiCaprio was good in The Revenant, but it's not, it's by far not his best performance that he's ever done in a film. And in that same movie, Tom Hardy steals the show. Like, Tom Hardy is infinitely better. He's a great supporting actor. That being said, that being said, Sylvester Stallone just makes Creed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He just blows that movie out of the water. Michael B. Jordan was even really good too, and he wasn't even nominated. So like, you know, different things like that are just like, ah, it makes you want to pull your hair out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started reading a comic last night called Private Eye and it takes place in the future where everyone has like, you know, aliases for themselves or it's basically like the internet only in real life you can wear a mask which is your avatar and you basically have a hidden persona and people's actual


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but the cool thing about it is it takes place in the future, and there's an older character in it who is like the grandfather, but he's like one of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's basically like what one of us would be in the time for when we're a grandfather. And so like, one, he's an old man, but he has tattoo sleeves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there's been people where they'll hand the phone to someone else and the person will go


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this people we know? After I tripped over the trash can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe we'll get to it eventually, but how is the game aesthetically? It's beautiful. Well, in terms of loot. Oh, not so great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So alright, so I've only played, I only played the beta. Okay. I played the beta, and I haven't played it since I have it, but I haven't played it yet, uhm, just because I don't think that I would have the time to put into it, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it's just like another way of, it's just another way of coloring it, kind of. And so, I'm curious, like, what are the reviews like for The Division?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well it missed that bonus mark or what it wasn't supposed to get a bonus or whatever. But like, it's weird because it feels like it's just less hype. The only difference here is hype. People were not expecting Division to be a lot of fun. I don't know about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long is the single player campaign or whatever? As long as you want it to be. Depends on, yea. Nope, because that's not, that's how, that's the answer you could have given for Destiny, but that's not the answer people accept. Never ends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I obviously think I need to play the Division more. It takes a while to wrap your head around it. For me, it's just like, if you're gonna ask me to commit a lot of times to these games, I want some sort of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy cool capes and giant armor and you had boots that looked like they'd been ripped off a bison and like weird shit like that. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I feel like I have a better chance of being good at it than I did at Destiny, which, you know, has the first person shooter kind of thing to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Call of Duty over an Overwatch. Okay. I'll pick Overwatch every time because it looks different. It like, it shows me a world that I couldn't necessarily experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like or am expect- or picked from the beginning, I'm gonna get bored of that game ten times faster than one that has options to let me switch around. So like a game like Overwatch, you can learn how to play Reinhardt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's 20 other characters to choose from that you have to learn again, like I'm into Smite as well. I will never, there are characters, I've played goddamn, probably like a hundred hours of Smite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have still not, there are characters I've never played as. Ever picked. Even in practice or anything. And that appeals to me because I know that I can never get bored of whatever I've, whatever I've picked. So like, what you're saying sounds really cool, having a team that fills everything out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But ultimately, I think for me, there's gonna be a point where I'm on that team and I'm like, I am so bored of throwing out health packs. I am so, so tired of throwing out health packs. And I also think that was kind of something that worked against Battlefront. Ah. It's like, Battlefront


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You never, you never really could change that much. It's like, you couldn't just be like, I'm gonna be the pilot now. I'm gonna be like the, like this person, not nearly as much as like say a battlefield or whatever, but it's just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then we played another match, and you were Symmetra, and you were putting down teleporters, and I was a giant gorilla, leaping around, you know, firing electricity. So I don't know, it's weird, it's, again, it's, I can totally see people being like, oh well it is a change for me, because when I get this new weapon, like now I've changed it up, now I'm excited to change it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is still constantly arising. It may not be to the pace because you're not controlling the pace. Get that one three-star cover every day. It's not, yea. That's your slow plot. But I can't, that's my problem is I can't get it every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I can, so it's a slow, like, you get to that point with the game, so right now it's, oh, you get a couple here and there, in the meantime you get your two stars, you get your other stuff, you're building stuff up, and then this is just, but for me now, I've gone past that point, so then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess $99 isn't that much money to spend on this. Like, like, that's, that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to get you to that point. And it's a very, very slow massage. They're not trying to get you off, but they're gonna keep that erection going for as long as possible. Just, just stiff enough. Just stiff enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that, to tie it back, I don't think that the Division or Destiny ever really got to that point. I think they still understood, you paid $60 just to get here, so we're gonna give you something, but we shouldn't be surprised, moral of the story is we shouldn't be surprised if you see these things start creeping up more and more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, so they arrived, they arrived to clean our small humble apartment and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically part of that house. Uhm, but that, that's the only other time we've, our experience is with cleaning services.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we were trying to mold- well, we're not just gonna stand there and watch them, we tried to keep ourselves busy. Sure. And they were- we have hardwood floors in most of the apartment, and there was a very nice woman who was-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mopping those floors. She swept everything up and she was mopping them real good. Uhm, my review for the service was positive. Very happy with what they did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, no, it was just a comedic moment that I was lucky enough to observe because the fact that Elise was able to drop bacon on a floor that someone, and it's like, on the one hand,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I thought, I thought the story was gonna end with, like, two beautiful children and a beautiful wife came running up and they're like, oh, there you are, glad to meet you on the street. And he's like, oh, hey kids. And like, he's like, oh no, he's perfectly fine. He just looks different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna say, when we went to Germany, when we went to Germany, there was one night where everyone went out, and then decided to stay out, and Joel and I both together went, you know what? I don't wanna stay where they're staying. Let's, let's, let's, let's just not go. Let's not go with them. And so, we- Playtime with the whorehouse? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, we did that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had no interest in going into the whorehouse and so we, we just went back to our hotel which was very tiny, very small hotel. But then Joel and I ended up staying up like another


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't matter. This is between me and Joel. Let me have this. Did you know that the third album of the police that they released is called Zenyatta Mondatta?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll elaborate more on this, but last week, uhm, most of us spent the majority of the week in Austin, uh, filming stuff, uh, with, uh, Achievement Hunter and for Let's Play and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, we did have some downtime, and I would hop on occasionally to play Overwatch. Every single time I hopped on, Joel was on playing Overwatch. I kept trying to invite you to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, so I guess we should talk about how Joel's, Joel not being here will affect future funhouse content. Yes, that's a good, it won't. That's a true will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Elise had pitched it to me earlier that day about, you just wanna go see Braveheart? And I was like, but then I found out it was a comedy show. I was like, okay, I'm interested. Uhm, but uh, that ended at, what, midnight?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1130 midnight or something. It was about midnight, yeaah. And then so Elise and I were like, we're really tired, we're gonna get up early because we wanted to go for a hike. Normally we're at Austin, we're working, and this was one of the few times where we had


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe a day, day and a half to just kind of do what we wanted to do. Uhm, and so we wanted to kind of explore outside of downtown Austin and not just the Rooster Teeth office which is the only place we ever see when we go there. Uhm, but anyway, so we went, we went back to our hotel room, got ready for bed, maybe 45 minutes later,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got a text from Lawrence saying, you wanna watch some anime? What time was it? 1?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We probably watched one episode of something, right? And so then I think Elise replied and said, which uh, which room are you in? And then Lawrence went, oh no no no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I got, you couldn't really help it though. We were out there for like, we were out there for a really long time. I put sun, I put sunblock on in the six hours we were probably out in the sun, I put sunblock on probably seven times. And I still got, I still got. Holy shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her back, towards the wall, was she facing, was her body facing out to you? Like her chest, was her chest facing you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at a certain point, next time you see her in there, you should walk up to her while she's upside down and say, you'll get a more effective handstand training routine and shoulder workout by turning around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright Joel, thanks everybody for listening. In terms of ridiculousness, like in just general comic book able to swallow,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently not so much. It was one of the first Kickstarters that I remember looking at and going, finally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was on, I was on a 4chan thread or something, but uhm, they were saying that, what's the producer's name, Inafune? KG Inafune. KG Inafune. Isn't actually the creator Mega Man, he was just, he sort of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, you know, like, uh, I don't know, there's like a popular show, like, I don't know, like Seinfeld or something, where you're like, I was a writer on Seinfeld. It's like, well, you sat in a meeting. You copy-edited one episode. Yeah, and like, but you want to take, okay, sure, you're a writer on Seinfeld, whatever. Yeah, do what you can. So, I don't know. Could be. Could be one of those moments where you just hype yourself up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, good question. Mega Man one through one nine. Six, I wanna say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I have, I have a similar, uh, comparison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turns out, uhm, that is an orc related, so that was unfortunate. But uhm, I hope there's a sequel. The end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think of the first Kickstarter that made sense to me, which was Tim Schafer when he did Broken Age. Yea. Cause it was, hey, I'm Tim Schafer and I want to make a game, and you know my games, and that was the one and only Kickstarter I think I backed. Cause I was like, I would love a click and point adventure game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From Tim Schafer, because those are the games that brought me a lot of joy as a kid. Like, Day of the Tentacles is pretty much what got me into the Salmon Max, all those games. They're like, that's my childhood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeaah, he's just sort of like, do you want to go check it out? We're at the PlayStation booth. Like yeaah, sure. And he like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He like, booked us to get in, but we only had enough time basically for one of us to play. So of course, James plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that fun stuff, and I'm like, I'm just standing up to the side like, har har. How many times have you fought Psychonauts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care, uhm, so much. I'm just trying to find a new dad. It just hurts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so that was fun. That was our E3, basically. It actually was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yes. Wasn't that the kill string or whatever?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well basically he says, he's like, he goes, oh, he virtually goes to like an arcade from the 80s. Oh, Jesus. And he has to play Pac-Man, and he has to get the world's like highest score, and he's like, and then he did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was fine, and then I did the thing where you were joking about it yesterday and you were like, huh, did you poke it and pus came out? Like, no, not yet, and then I poked it yesterday and pus came out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, I was at the gym and I rode a bike for a little bit. I'm like, my foot kinda hurt so I took my shoe off. Looked at it, poked it and the white pus came out and I was like, I can't do this anymore. It hurts. Everything hurts. I got this done like six months ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, like, I've had this thing, this like, weird, I don't know, oh my, did we get a shot of this? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember he was, because Joel was the first one to get old, uhm, he said, he's been old for a long time. He's like vampiric, uhm, but he was saying, I remember he goes, you know what I miss about being young?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because I'm just like, shit, because I just put Neosporin on it at night and I'm like, it's not going away. I had a zit thing on my neck, it's still kind of there, and like during Warcraft I was so bored I was just jabbing it out of my throat. That's what I do. And I finally got all the pus out of there, but I'm just like, fuck man. That might be an ingrown hair. Well, maybe. Well, Jess has this tool too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, she's not into gross stuff like that. Okay, Dr. Pimple Popper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've, people are into those, and like, I'll admit, there was something a little satisfying about seeing pus come out of my toe. Because I thought like, it's done! And then I was like, nope, here comes the pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know if they have one, but, I dunno, it's the best underwear I've ever owned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he was in Anaconda. Not the second one. Gotcha. Not the second one. Was Ice Cube in that one? Sure. Alright. You're thinking of, uh, the shark movie, but let's see. Did anyone see Finding Dory? Is that on YouTube?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've never seen it before. Uh, yeaah, because of Let's Play Live and E3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All things in the world have like, like, when I have nothing else going on in my life, I live my life based on what is releasing that week. One quarter mile at a time. Uh, less than that. Mighty No. 9 is coming out this week. Well that's what I mean, so like, if I had nothing else going on in my life, I'd be like, ooh, Neon Demon, gotta go see that, even though that's the one movie I'm looking forward to this week. Or like, you know, Warcraft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will get into these modes where like, if a game is coming out, I'm like, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't die this week because I need to enjoy the ending of Game of Thrones. Otherwise, that would suck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, what's the point? Well, uh, but this one we had E3 and Let's Play Live and it was just like, I don't know. Something big in the world could have happened and I probably wouldn't have noticed. You momentarily found purpose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was a blur. Also because, I mean, Monday was a wash because of how drunk we got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess for those who weren't in attendance for Let's Play Live, uhm, we did a thing where typically we whenever we do a segment,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drunk Souls, you know, we'll take a shot, but that's over a course of an hour. We had 10, maybe 15 minutes to do a bit, so we're like, well, James always does that joke where it's like, oh, you know, Dark Souls is getting a ball stepped on, and we're like, well, what if we had like, uh, like a dominatrix or something, and they're like, oh cool, we can rent a dominatrix, you know, a human being.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, maybe like, get like a hot woman and she'll be like slapping us around, that'd be great. And then someone, I forget who said it, but like, what if it's just Lawrence? Like, it's a brilliant idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just do that. So Lawrence had been, God bless you, sir, had been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, but yeaah, so for the show, it was the dominatrix will punish us every time we die. Lawrence pretty much put us on a Dark Souls 3 boss that none of us had ever fought before. And it was rough because you spank hard. Yeaah, and the gags. And to be 100% clear,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to speak for everyone, I'll speak for myself, but I'm not into that stuff. Especially after having a ball gag in my mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like every other red, white, and blue American out there. I just want a small Japanese girl to fart on me while I eat crumpets. Oooooh. That's east meets west. Yea, what's weird about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lawrence wasn't mic'd so he's on stage and he's going like, it was a funny part too where I don't think anyone else from Achievement Hunter or like all the Let's Play Network even like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I didn't know if I was supposed to use the sword or the staff. I probably should have stayed with the staff. But we died. Anyway, let's play live was a lot of fun. Yeaah. It was a lot of fun. I had a great time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I got a cough. It looks like your microphone is turning in on itself. Uh oh. Make sure it's pointed at your mouth. There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess I'll work there. No, they're like, they're like, I love games. I got a hundred percent on Final Fantasy IX. I'm a blogger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't understand consoles anymore. Like, I mean, it's, it's, it's, it should, I want it to be more like Call of Duty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Consoles should be like Call of Duty. Like simple. Yea, it should be built on a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, piece of hardware that's like 15 years old and they should just add like a grappling hook. Like, a PS4 Pro for me is a PS4 with a handle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what it should be. Because then that seems like something that, like, Adam is describing, the person who doesn't care, would be like, cool! A handle! Like, this, I might actually use this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there are, there are a lot of people- I disagree. Are you impressed by these stats?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, it's like such a, it's just, it's a number. Thank you for the number. It means nothing. And to the people that it might mean something to, it means nothing also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I mean I think, I think if you could go back in time and you showed people Uncharted, they'd say this is the greatest looking game ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you show them Uncharted 4 and they go, this is the greatest game ever. And they're just gonna keep saying that and that never means anything to me. Interesting. If it isn't like stylistically in some ways interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's weird too because now we're getting to the point, it's very, like, it's very much the PC point where they're not even really going like, you need to get this so you can play this. Like, I'm thinking like 32X.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arguably one of the most worthless pieces of trash. Still was marketed as, you need this because it'll let you play Cosmic Carnage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not, it doesn't even seem like that's happening with this. This is not just PS Pro or anything. This is Xbox One S. This is Scorpio. Like, no, they're not even leading with that. They're not even saying you need this console to play this. It's just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I did come. I haven't been PC until the last couple years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, I mean the motivations for me as a console person were, were always like, well I wanna play these games, so I'm gonna play these games in this console. Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish that they would be like, here's something that you wouldn't be able to do with this. Because it seems like most of the marketing is, no, no, it's okay. You can keep playing this stuff that you're already playing. But now you can pay us again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's also weird too, cause like, I mean, this is totally unique to like, probably us situation, but stuff like, you know, the same PCs that we use in this office to play games on, are the ones that we use for work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you come in, you're like, I'm gonna do some work today. You turn on your computer, Steam maybe opens, starts updating your stuff in the background, so when it is time for us to play GTA,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it just turns off the soundbar, so I'll be like, I'm done playing Xbox One, I'll go back to the TV and there's no sound, and then I'll look, and the whole soundbar, nothing else. No other console, when I plug the PC in, nothing turns off the soundbar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're so close. Also, they're so close. I think this is, this is head, this is both of these companies hedging their bets. Because the fact that I can log on to my PC right now and play God of War is like, okay, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only recently discovered that you can slice up a tomato and then just put salt and pepper on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not just PlayStation, I think it's, I think the Xbox. Any upgraded console at all? The Xbox One S's best feature is the fact that, well it has an S in the title, and that it's smaller. Okay. Takes up less space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're in the age of perfection though. I see. We're, I think, I believe that we may not see new game plays, but we will see the best version of game mechanics and stuff that have been around forever. Hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that come in for play? That's right, I think so. What else do you want? I think stuff like Overwatch is like, we can do a first person shooter, teams, team based first person shooter, a concept that's been around forever, and we're gonna do it better than you've probably ever played it before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're gonna have an amazing time doing it. I think we're gonna see more stuff like that. So I don't know if it'll be, uh,

[Assistant] You know, I've been looking at these headphones, I think I'm gonna buy them. So I went and bought them before we went, uh, to Australia, cause I knew that was gonna be a really long flight. And I was like, I will use those for enough time to justify the cost. I was like, maybe you should get a pair too, and she went, NYEAH.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would rather go to an arcade. But that's not where tech is anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's, maybe, I guess that, that is the most logical thing, but it's weird when you have, it's not like this is like uncharted mods. You can only get this product in one place. You can get it in a ton of other places. And as of today, as of recording of this, Microsoft is totally cool with that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is like, that seems like, I understand being afraid of setting a precedent, but if there's another equally large conglomerate that is not afraid of setting a precedent, it's weird that you put your foot down. I don't know, I'm just, I'm more curious about the whole situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wouldn't be a PC mod in the PS4 store or the Xbox store? I think that is the case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's what's hilarious is that I think once you become a little more self-aware and you get to like, you know, like, let's say age 25, you realize that the only reason you liked Modern Warfare is because it's nostalgic. Like, yeaah, it's a good game, but it's, but it made you really, really excited because you were 12 when you first played it, and this was like an eye-opening experience for you. So that's why everybody's, you know, flipping their shit over this Modern Warfare remaster is because

[Assistant] I love you, little baby boy. I mean, billions of people have been doing it for, you know, thousands of years. Prove it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there's been a couple of times I've gone to a dentist and they've said, oh, you have a cavity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well actually, what did Giant Bomb report as a PS4.5 price, or did they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they had the same price we did. Cause I was gonna say, we had heard that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had heard that it would be $400 and they'd bump down the PS4, but also we had heard that it could be the opposite in the sense that they could release the PS4.5 at a higher price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like dude, I'll tell you what man, that's one of the things I was looking at the other day. I was writing a script for a top 10 or something and we were talking about how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all built around, when you go to SGC, there are arcade games everywhere, right? And we use the arcade games very specifically. We use them as a reason for people to get together. Because they're all on free play, you come in, you play the games, and the beautiful thing about playing arcade games, these old games where you're smelly and gross, right, that you're talking about?

[Assistant] I believe that the only true Colossus is gay Colossus, James Willems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We saw her on that big billboard. She looked cool. She looks cool but, I mean, my only thing is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From a practicality standpoint, the huge Afro, every single time she puts that helmet on, she's gonna have to pull it all back. That's a good point. Put the helmet on, oh there's a little piece, tuck that in, put it back in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The original Red vs. Blue. The other Red vs. Blues are just copying this. This age old battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, keep in mind, when we left this battle last night, it was in front of the church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I originally thought that, oh, if they're moving up at a standard rate, then eventually they'll hit those bodies and then they'll get stuck there. The other ballista is clearing a path for the new ballista. It's spreading the bodies. Everything used to be about a half mile back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well but I think the marketing belief came about from the fact that they had to double down on who was buying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's like I've always said, women be shopping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that theme. I love that theme, but it's almost identical to the same, to the part in Mad Max when Flame Guitar starts riffing away. It's junky XL. I know, but it's almost identical to that because it's like they have the drum guys and then when the guitar comes in it's like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's gonna be, the movie is about her, it's, it's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Country Girl goes to the big city. It's basically gonna be the plot of Wonder Woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? And so, I agree, it's, they've kind of gone backwards a little bit. Why am I worried for her? But one of the cool things I liked about Batman v Superman and Wonder Woman in it is that in the fight with the monster that kills Superman, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She, she still is a point where she lasso's him, and she's like smiling. She's like, she's like, this is shit to me, whatever, I don't care, I just like fighting stuff, you know. This is a cool challenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chris Pine has to be the stake. Something's gonna happen to him because nothing can happen to her. And so, it's gonna be more about the fact that she was really sheltered. Now she's going out into this world and she's gonna like kind of see it for what it is and realize it needs to be protected because of people like Chris Pine who are probably well intentioned but still vulnerable where she is not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She hasn't really done much, but this is the most expensive film a female director's ever helmed. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marvel has kind of a history of picking name directors and attaching them to their products, so people go, oh, this person's directing, but it's actually just a movie being run by a studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, which is why those movies are starting to kind of bleh out in a lot of cases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, uh, Jon Favreau has admitted several times that Iron Man was shot basically without a script. Wow. They didn't have a script for it and they would basically, like, get together the night before and be like, alright, Robert Downey Jr., here's what we need you to do in this scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just not a sustainable format. And so, you bring in someone like Edgar Wright, who is a visionary, who has his style, he's like, we watched the Guy Ritchie trailer, which I'm sure we'll talk about, it's like, has his style, has his way of making movies, and then Marvel's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool. Can we just put your name on it and you can shut up? And then he was like, no, absolutely not. And he walked out. Something got Peyton Reed, who, you know, for whatever is kind of like- I'll do it! Yeah, like, who, he's like, I'll finish it, sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well he actually- Visual trickery though, it's not Doctor Strange. Doctor Strange is CG landscape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, there's the one shot in the trailer where the whole landscape is all twisted and everything and Doctor Strange stands there on the edge, and then there's like a beat, like a second and a half, and then he runs up afterwards like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was cheaper than our hotel room. That was haunted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want them, I want them to, the problem is, they have, they're still making new Sonic games in older styles. They need to get rid of it. They just need to call, they just go, Sonic 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, can we talk about how after they finally got that trailer shit out, they, uh, they then had a band take the stage, which was basically a guitarist singing along to playbacks of Sonic songs, and everyone there knew all the lyrics. Like, there was a point where I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was all bad. But then it was stuff from like Sonic Heroes, music from that, and everyone there knew all the words and were just singing along. It was like, it was basically, it was like a Christian concert. That's exactly what it was. It was a Christian concert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was someone cosplaying, not as Tails, but as the vehicle Tails drives in Sonic Adventure 2. Little bipedal mech thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, absolutely not. No, I don't remember their names at all. Blue Bambi and... Frank the Trank. Great White.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know my favorite cosplay story from, uh, from G4. The greatest story. This is vaguely related to that, but it ties it back to Comic Con. Uhm, my favorite cosplay story is we were working for G4 and they had their stage for Attack of the Show and their Comic Con coverage and I was supposed to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Producing the crowd, which means I had to find people in cool cosplay to get them closer to the front stage, and then the people that just wanted to watch got to get filed behind, so that way when the camera sweeps around it shows a badass Wonder Woman or whatever and everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's this guy dressed as Black Suit Spider-Man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he was this big to be, he was a big dude that could have been Venom. But for some reason he had chosen like, I guess like a false leather? Like a plasticky kind of material? Leather? Gotcha. Kind of like the leather? Like whatever that material is that, that probably your, your, your gimp suit may have been made out of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's probably a cheaper version because it didn't stick to him. It kind of had edges and stuff in it. Either way, he was in there and then, uh, and then I remember he was standing there and then I was like, alright, we're about to go live, so get ready. And then right before, it was like ten, nine, counting in, and he goes, HEADS LEAF! Just the loudest, wettest sneeze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, and then he immediately, he immediately starts going for the zipper, which is in the back. And then he, he, he unzips it. And he goes, and it's just mucus. And he was like, he was like, oh god, but he sealed it in his suit. And then so he got here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's been, uh, issues of Spider-Man, probably several, but early issues where he got a cold, he got sick, and so he was sneezing in his mask, but I don't think they really covered what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that they say he's a mutant. They're like he's different. He is different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounds like it's a Fox television show. Okay, gotcha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an, yeaah. I just don't understand. Man, Jason Momoa. He's not naturally charismatic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was really cool as Khal Drogo, but that was because they created a world that told you he was really cool. You can't just have him look and then go, oh my god, that is, when he goes GRRR, oh my god, my heart stopped. It's like no, he looks kinda silly in most of the situations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but Aquaman can be cool. He's cool. He's normally cool when he's like underwater sending sharks after people and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to just come out already so that way I can see it because these trailers, the posters,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, that doesn't indicate the tone of the movie or whatever. And then another one came out and it was dramatically different. But it still doesn't match with all the bright posters and then photoshopped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I guess it's just clips and then you time the gunshots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite Suicide Squad trailer would have been if they could find a scene that perfectly embodies how these people operate with each other and kind of what their thing is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then just put out that one scene and that was it. A Zootopia style trailer. You'll be tired of seeing it, but then you don't see everything else around it. They don't need to show you Batman diving through glass and stuff like that. They don't need to show you all of these things. I still don't know why people think Margot Robbie is the greatest Harley Quinn other than they like looking at her butt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She cocks a shotgun, which they could have had killer croc do. She looks like she's having fun with the roll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zubat! If anything good has happened thanks to Pokemon Go, it's Bruce being, revealing himself to be the true nerd that he was. Cause Bruce likes to position himself as the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're almost all gonna- Are you going to the Keelys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. So this is technically the Game Awards. This is different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe we can't do that. You know, or maybe, maybe this one should be, what does it, what does it make us, what does it make the company appear like as you're determining the tone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it just too strong? Also that little voice is, uh, drunk. Yeaah. Because you are also drunk. So the little voice gets quieter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, it's awesome. So I'm doing a call out right now. Keely's 2016. Get Lawrence Sontag nominated for gamer of the year. It needs to happen. It needs to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God, they crammed so much, like, you can't just quantify graphics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotham City and you're like, this place is amazing, this place is beautiful, and then they do other stuff to it during the course of the game to make it more, like, almost like they are literally testing your graphics card. And I'm like, well no shit, it broke for a bunch of people. Like, they are literally, the game looks like a stress test for a graphics card. Adam, you are just wrecking. They do not see you. That's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I said, the city changes during the course of the game, so like, it gets even more exotic and crazy and weird. It's just like, it's insane, man. This game is great. And then also, it has a ton to do. I've been just doing basically, mostly the main story campaign, and I'm s- s- probably...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like 15 hours? 15 and 20 hours, and then there's a whole wheel of side missions that you can do afterwards that are not just collectibles, like, I kinda got over the Assassin's Creed collectible aspect of things. Find the shiny gem and just collect it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so, our big takeaway is, I know we sound like a bunch of negative nancies, but for the record, I love video games. We do love video games, we also love movies. The idea, we just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it's a good thing, but video games are not immune from the ridiculous hypocrisy of getting together, a bunch of people getting together and trying to quantify what you liked best last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, that's true. Fuck, forgot about that. Just so you know, you can go to Costco, I think like right now and get the game of the year Taken King Bundle for like $35. Really? I was like, I was like, I was telling a friend of mine who just got an Xbox One, I was like, even if you have no interest in this game, there is value there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like saying, that's like saying you invented, you invented skateboarding just because you made a vert ram.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, my personal game of the year, probably the game that I put the most into, is Smite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow. Oh really. So, and that's why this is such a weird thing to talk about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might be more difficult for me to find people to play against. I don't know. Probably not Call of Duty, but something similar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I'm playing that probably more than anything, more regularly than anything. I like to take, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One, and one last shout out. Yeah, sure. Uh, Marvel Puzzle Quest. Oh, yeah. It's still a game that I play every single day for over two years now. So, these are the games. These are the games that I'm playing, and it's like, oh, you're only one of those comments this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's the one with the SSD. Wait. Oh god. They come, they come with those now? I think so, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it takes forever if you're trying to play an Xbox one. Yes it does. You're just sitting there and you're watching and you're like, did it work? And I'm not sure if it worked. So anything faster is better. But, uhm, but it came with a controller and I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My thing is, they just need to stop, they just need to stop changing, like, it's better, but I'm like, ugh. I turn on, and maybe it's because they don't play my Xbox One enough, but it's like, I turn it on, I'm like, alright, hold on, I gotta, I have to figure out how...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I also, uhm, I don't know if this happened to anyone else, but it, it reset all of my notification settings. Oh yeah, it'll do it. It just, yeah, it's just like, I just turned off all notifications. I don't need, I don't need to know when someone liked the achievement that I just unlocked, but it, it, it just automatically did that when it installed the new interface, and so, I, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was playing, was playing I think with Elise, we were doing split screen battlefront missions. Oh. And she was on the bottom and then goes


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, but then people would like those notifications, like cause now you get, it has an activity feed and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't do that. This isn't a new feature, but I do, I do really like the Windows 10 compatibility though. Yeah. Cause like that issue that you're having, uhm, it's not, it's not a resolution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now I will use Skype and I'll just stream it to my PC and I don't get any lag. I know Adam said he's tried it and he got some, but I've done like several tests now in different games and like different


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was playing Battlefront and I wasn't really getting any lag, like, and I was able to cap and then I just use, I tell it to cap that stream and then do stuff like that, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had mine set to high, I had mine set to high and didn't have any issues without wiring to the router. Oh wow, on Wi-Fi. But again, maybe that was a good day, but I've done it a couple times and I haven't really had any issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The scoreboard on that last match that Adam was in was hilarious by the way. Everyone was basically on the same page. I think it was like 9 kills. There's one guy in Adam's team, the match ended really really fast. There's one guy in Adam's team with 31 kills and the match was over. I hate how that happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, my Christmases are great. They're always great every time. So, I'll tell you a story about my other friend. My other friend, he also had a great Christmas, but his parents were crazy. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My bigger thing is the discrepancy, like some games just like blast you right into it, and other games you're sitting there forever. And then stuff like, stuff like Bloodborne, where it's like, it comes out and you're sitting there for five minutes between every single death, but then they're like, uh, we released a patch, and it's like, like 15 kilobytes, and now the load times are like, like, 15 seconds. Like, what happened? What did you change?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's the way to fix it. Just turn it into a, they just need to create a hub for all their different things, because now they have a bunch of stuff. They have like, home console stuff, they have a bunch of handheld stuff, all of it's doing kinda okay, the handheld stuff is doing great, now give me a hub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How does rolling someone show that you're stronger than them? Like he was like genuinely dismayed and angry that if you can roll someone using your strength that it's not actually should be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, there's Angelica Balls. See? She's getting fucked. This is just child porn. Yea, it's just Angelica getting fucked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like this. There's one, there's Angelica's mom. So that's not illegal. Oh there it is!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, he is eligible to run for a second term.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also real quick, does anyone among the four of us ever on a regular basis or even once a month watch a react video? I don't. Nope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think between all of us, we could give a fuck. Like, I don't really care what people think of something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying like, as far as like, my caring of the React community,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are all things they didn't really cover in their initial video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to a degree, that's true. Well, have you ever worked for like an insurance company or like, so like I used to work for like, I'm not gonna say the name of it, but I've said it before, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've worked for like basically a pyramid scheme type, like one of those places, and I remember going to one of those like, it's basically like, it feels like a clan rally, but they're like, I am so excited. I'm excited, but it's the guy on the top who's making all the money, and like, it reminded me a lot of that, where I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to do all the work though, it's like, I'M EXCITED! But you just sit there. You make a lot of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not selling toys, you're just making videos in your bathroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I having, you know, we always, we always talk about the industry that we, you know, gaming and all that stuff. This is the same sort of stuff that goes on all the time. It's just much more complex and there are people who have been doing this sort of stuff for years and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what she's doing. Oh shit! Open up the witness. Oh boy. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that, it's like, it's a business we've worked in for a while, but it's the thing where there's always a point where you get too big, and you can't help the little guy. And like, that sucks. And like, I think we've always, in our mentality, we've always thought, think smaller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, sorry. I was using my hands. Couldn't stand seeing that thing glow. Alright. Sorry. But that's the other thing too, where I was thinking, like, with this whole React thing, I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've seen it before, uh, you know, at past jobs, where someone was like, I have 30 emails I'm sitting on right now, I'm not gonna get through these for like another week, because a bunch of, I have to get, it's like, uh, what's it called, uh, tech support, like that, which, you know, is like Blizzard's, you know, has like, whatever, 10,000 people working on it or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, you can't, well it gets to a point where the volume is just too much, and I was like, as soon as they announced that thing when they were like, like, it sounded like an MCN, and even though they said specifically, we're not an MCN, I was like, oh okay. But still it just sounded like one of those things where I'm like, oh boy, you're gonna have a tough time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have an opportunity to abuse the system, which in this case is YouTube. Do you think this counts as abuse? Uh, you- if you do a takedown on a video or-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the robot machine kicks in automatically and you use the word react in your video, like say we did a video. Go right for it. And we're like, fun house reacts to this, to fine bros. Nope, nothing. Actually shit, maybe we call that podcast. I know, I know nothing will happen, but we should probably play that other game, seriously. No, it's a great idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so the content ID system, uhm, that YouTube enforces or uses, which is, it's not perfect. I think it's actually pretty impressive tech-wise. Okay, but it's not perfect. No. Yeaah. Nothing is. Well because it can be abused, that's the problem. You can just say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flag the internet for these words and certain channels that are bigger than others can abuse that power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the smart ones go, oh, you just released the claims, because, okay, that falls either under fair use, or, no, you're in the right, okay. I'm just saying...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the Content ID system, there's a lot more false negatives that could appear than, I mean honestly, I think, in order for YouTubes to operate as a business,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jesus Christ. Uhm, I'm glad the system is in place because otherwise YouTube would never exist. Like when you go through the whole YouTube certification, you learn all this stuff, you realize you're like, oh shit, this really goes back to when Viacom essentially tried to nuke YouTube and they were like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You stole our stuff, so they are like, okay, we'll put this system in place called Content ID. Now your problem is with the user, it's not with us. So now YouTube is blameless, but now we are still allowed to use their tools and their platform for free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not actively going after, uh, Vimeo and Dailymotion. They're just like, okay, we'll just make the better product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Comment, I often see on Reddit, and this happened when, this always happens when a new content ID thing or something comes up, but it's always the one that's like, man, somebody needs to build a better system. It's like, yea, you get on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that sort of thing where it's like, it's always gonna go back and forth because they're very profitable companies for what they do, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Google has the largest market share and they're the ones who can afford to build a giant video infrastructure where you can upload from your phone and your computer and a million other things and 10,000 other people can and it just upload random garbage videos that we enjoy watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was going to say, does YouTube offer more pros than cons? I would say so, it's free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda use YouTube as like television now. That's just sort of how I watch stuff. And, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For it to exist, you need, like you were saying, something like Content ID, like it's just, it is the inevitability, like what you have to deal with, uhm, which is like, it's kind of interesting, cause like, having worked in television and stuff like that, uhm, we were just lamenting about this earlier, but uhm,

[Assistant] The hoops you have to jump through just to do that, whereas like, on YouTube, like, you can just kinda upload wherever you want. It's kinda cool. Right now. But, it's fun. The Wild West, if you will. It's exciting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, essentially they said, we are sorry, I didn't mean to upset everybody, and all claims have been lifted, like we're, we're just, we're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right though, but I mean, I think that's the thing that we, I don't think we preach enough here, but we have said before, it's like, it is dangerous to live in your own bubble, and if you get told that you're amazing enough, you start to believe it, and we're very self-deprecating here, and we believe that we're just kind of garbage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we're, I think we enjoy making content that we enjoy and we like creating stuff and we're glad we found an audience that likes our stuff, but like, I don't think we're ever gonna be to the point where like, every time we do a fan meetup, Bruce always brings us up where it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We go back to the first time we ever did a fan meetup. That's always in our head. Oh yeaah. Which is back at PAX East, whatever, two years ago. And three people showed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're just, it was like, alright, what do you guys wanna talk about? And then like, then we did a fan up in Australia and like, I don't know, like 500 people showed up or whatever and it was like, it was pretty crazy, it's surreal. But it's always gonna be in the back of our head that we're like, it could be like PAX East. It could be three people. Every time. Everybody could hate on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not, not saying, not calling any specific group out or anything like that, but I think that is a- I think it's safe to say that Fine Brothers made a mistake. And, and they know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think that's the sort of thing too, like, it is, hopefully it's a humbling experience, and like I- God! Oh boy, this is happening a lot lately. Is that the life?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, sorry man. You wanna just hit record maybe? Just salvage something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a song I recommend every single one of you go listen to. It's by a little group called Cypress Hill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's two versions of it. There's Rap Superstar and Rock Superstar. I prefer the Rock Superstar version. But there's a moment, a little interlude, where a guy's talking about being careful. He's like, you're gonna run out of money, and you gotta be careful, because there's always someone behind you. Like, and they're always gonna come up after you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best thing you can do is innovate and just be happy with what you got. Because, yea. Whatever's at the top usually doesn't stay there unless you're Frank Sinatra and he died and hung out with the mob, so whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I was like, James seemed happier sitting in the seat. No, that's bullshit. That is bullshit. Who just asked for help? Uhm, I was gonna say, the one thing I didn't realize about the Fine Bros when they made that, until I saw that video, is that there's a lot of people who work there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, this is one thing, I'm not, I'm not trying, like I said, I'm not defending any one group or anything, but this reminds me of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, that's kind of a cool way of looking at it. I was like, look, it's making kids happy, it's giving some people work, and it's making money, and it's not, you can just ignore it. It's not being shoved down your throat, you can just choose to look the other way. So I was always like, that's one thought I've always had where it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are other people involved, same with game development, other things where it's like there are people more than just the figureheads, the Michael Bay's of the world if you will. It's like there is one guy who's just got two kids and you just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm saying the birthrate declines. Is that gonna be a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I was gonna say like- They're gonna dig you fuck until they die? Well here's- this is kind of a personal question, Lawrence, and you don't have to answer it. Do you think you will ever want kids? That you- that come from your own penis?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're so close. No, go the other way, go the other way. Go to the right, go to the right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's inevitable. I think we're gonna go there regardless because, uh, going back to the free market, bringing this whole thing back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, people pay for what they want, and we're, we've all, in this room I believe, we've all experienced VR, and we know that that's in some way the future, and it's not affordable right now, no, but in,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 15 years, 20 years, it's gonna be very normal. It's gonna be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, how much, uh, a quick question though about the Indiegogo, uhm, since it is the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, how much money is it at currently? Man, he is fucking the shit out of that robot. I need to see the Indiegogo campaign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll wear it. Hit them up and see if they want us to do a calendar ad and ask them why not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Australia, uh, Bruce and I and a couple other people went to Fiji, uh, for like a mini vacation, which is nice. It was fun. It was a lot of fun. And we went to the grocery store and I s- it felt like everyone was high, cause no one really knew what to get, we just got off the plane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One morning we wake up and I think it was Chris Damaris is like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like a bunch of people got really high, went to the store and just- We weren't high. We were not, we were not under the influence of anything. No, that's, but that's what I'm liking it to, is like, when you go there you're like, I want peanut butter. Crazy. I didn't, I didn't want any of those things. That was the problem. French toast pizzas. I didn't want any. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, my experience is, I'm in a room next door, Jess is changing, and she's naked, and I hear screaming, like ah, ah, so I, and it's right next to us, so I lean against the door, because my fear is someone's gonna run in, because I hear the commotion. I don't know why Adam would think we would run into his bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he's like the perfect guy to get bit by a spider though. That's true. Uhm, this is also, uh, this is like white people problems 101. Alright, I may just vacation problems, but snorkeling's bullshit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, but that's the only way to get goods up, cause then you go to like any of these like, you go to the beach, and they're like, yeah, there you go, so the mask never fits. It tastes like dog spit. You've got water going up your nose, and then the sorrel doesn't work, and then the salt water's bleeding into your eyes, and it's like, fuck! You just can't do anything. So, I would just close my eyes, we had a GoPro, and I'm just like, I'll look at this later. I'll look at this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the memories will be there. Uh, they look over at like Barbara and like, it fits her- her face perfectly, her eyes are like- She was having a great time. Totally clear, she's like, this is the best mask ever, and we're all like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, my only, yeah, my only, uh, criticism for Australia is, hey, uh,
