Speaker 2 (00:26):

Wow, welcome Dad, dad, dad, dadJason's leaving.
I am Say goodbye to Jason.
He's going to buy cigarettes.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
He'll be right back, it's okay.
Right back, I promise.

Cigarettes and milk.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Cigarettes and milk.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
I'll be back in 10 minutes.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
I promise, yep, I'll walk back in 10 minutes.
I promise I'll walk you outreal quick.
I'll be right back.
You boys convalate.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Oh my god, what a nice man you are.
As he's stuffing his fuckinggullet.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Talk about how buggy Oblivion is.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Oh my god, do you ever watch a guy called the
Spiffing Brit?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I saw one of his videos recommended me just
earlier today and it was aboutOblivion.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Dude, it's funny Watch it.
It's probably the one I watched.
He fucking breaks that game sohard.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Immediately.
That's kind of what it's knownfor.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Oh yeah, no, I know, I played Oblivion a very small
amount way back in the day and Ididn't play any um uh skyrim
like at all.
I just I didn't care for skyrimfor whatever reason, but uh, it
was just, it was very funny.
He maxed his um sneak to 100before he left the tutorial area

(01:37):
.
Um, and oh my god, my fat catjust came right up on here.
Um, so, yeah he, he maxes asneak like out before he even
gets out of the tutorial place.
Um, he basically used that likeduplicate, uh, like hack where
you like put stuff in thebarrels like next to each other
and you can just um duplicate abunch of shit.

(02:00):
And basically his whole goalwas to get a bunch of money, buy
a house and then um get ahundred percent like, uh, fuck,
I forget what it's called uhlike the invisibility, I forget
what the perk is called.
Yes, chameleon.
So he had 110 chameleon.
So basically he would just go inand just sneak, attack everyone

(02:21):
, uh and kill bosses.
It would take fucking forever,but he would just go in and just
sneak, attack everyone, uh andkill bosses.
It would take fucking forever,but he would just be able to
kill them because they didn'tknow where you were when you hit
them, so he killed uh there's,I forget what the blade is.
Oh my god, you fat fuck get offthe computer.
Um forget what.
Who has this blade?
But it's like the best blade inthe game and he just went in

(02:44):
there and took a fucking hourand a half just arrowing this
lady to death.
But, you couldn't see himbecause she didn't know where he
was getting attacked from.
But yeah, I just thought it wasfunny.
I just forgot how broken thatfucking game is.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, there are absolutely no guardrails
whatsoever to keep you fromdoing crazy shit like that.
That was the first time Iplayed through it on Xbox 360
back in the day.
There's a DLC that adds amage's tower, and on the 360
version, if you installed theDLC and then went inside the

(03:21):
tower and then closed the gamelike saved the game and then
closed it and then uninstalledthe and then closed the game
like saved the game and thenclosed it and then uninstalled
the DLC and loaded that saveback you would fall through the
earth into like a testing areathat you were never supposed to
actually get into.
That had like a bunch of liketest items and stuff and it was
mostly just items that wouldgive you just insanely

(03:43):
overpowered enchants.
So I did that.
I made myself completelyinvisible and then just like did
the rest of the game like that.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
That's so funny.
I'm glad that they left allthat shit in, like they were
like you know what we're goingto make it look good, but fuck
it, let's just leave all theshit.
I think they patched maybe acouple things I think is what he
was saying but like, yeah, it'suh the only things they changed
were like they added sprint andthen they, they improved the

(04:12):
archery, because the originalarchery was kind of meh.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
So they made it a lot more like Skyrims.
They actually changed somethingelse that is very controversial
and I'm not a fan of it.
They made the boobie armor onthe lady less boobie.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, they did that they also took away the male and
female pronouns in thecharacter creation screen, yeah,
so how am I supposed to know?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
That's the fun of it.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
There's a mod that you can put it back now Instead
of body type 1 and body type 2,it's male and female again like
god intended it's it's fat cocksand big milkers are you guys
just talking about oblivion thiswhole time?

Speaker 3 (04:54):
is that what's happening?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
sure, sure yeah, I was just talking to about the
brokenness that I saw uh, it didadd some extra brokenness,
though, like some of it I'm nota fan of.
For one thing, the game runs.
It runs okay, but I get, likethese issues and a lot of other
people have this where, like, itjust stutters real bad, where,
like, especially if you'reoutdoors, it just like freezes

(05:17):
up for a couple seconds when.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Dude was playing it.
His game crashed a lot.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
I've only had it crash once.
Crashing is not the easy thingfor me.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
I wonder if it's because I think it was crashing
on him because he wasduplicating items while willy
nilly.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
I don't know though stuttering is pretty bad, and
then there's a couple otherthings that are broken.
Like there's a staff that willkill somebody and then resurrect
them as undead and then theylike fight for you.
But the issue is, when you kill, when you use the staff on them
, it kills them and then itreanimates them, but the corpse

(06:03):
stays corpse.
So like it's just like thisfloating corpse that's just like
like just like moving aroundthe room and attacking stuff,
but it's not actually doinganything.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Matt, you are lagging so bad in your video that, like
anytime you do anything, you'rejust like that's exactly what
both of you guys have lookedback to me all night.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I don't know what the deal is oh, hell yeah
interesting, I wonder what thefuck's going on.
My connection to discord isgreen and my latency is only 10
milliseconds.
How?
Do you check that?

Speaker 3 (06:38):
it's down at the bottom, mine's green and my
latency is 5 milliseconds.
Mine is 54.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
So you're the culprit ?
I don't think I affect you guysat all, why it would affect you
guys 50 MS is actually fairlynormal too, yeah that's not bad.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
I don't know, I'm at 4.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
It must be a Discord thing, I'm not sure.
Probably Discord's bad Eversince Discord went private.
I don't know I'm at four, itmust be.
It's that metronet thing, I'mnot sure, probably discord.
Ever since discord went,private, private equity.
You know what are you gonna do?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
huge mistake.
I don't think you can go.
I don't think that's how thatworks for sure.
What do you?

Speaker 3 (07:21):
want to talk about oh three, three ms my three monkey
scrotums.
Oh my god, what do I want?
To talk about.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
I was going to ask what are you guys playing
besides that?
Well, what's on the list ofgames, right?

Speaker 1 (07:37):
now where I started playing Oblivion, I was playing
a bunch of Kingdom ComeDeliverance 2, which is pretty
good, pretty, pretty fun.
It's not like an open-ended RPG, it's more of a linear thing,
but it has potential for a lotof the same kind of wackiness

(07:57):
that Oblivion does, where youcan steal from people.
Every quest has multiple waysthat you can solve it.
It'll be a quest like get thisitem, and you can either do
something to get the person togive you the item, or you can
just kill the person.
The thing about it, though, isit's very punishing, and if you
get caught doing somethingyou're not supposed to, that's

(08:21):
pretty good.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
It's a medieval RPG, I think I've heard of it.
I haven't really watchedanything on it, but I've
definitely heard the name.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
It looks really good okay, I have been replaying
through halo 3 odst because itwas always one of my favorites.
Uh, looking back at it and Igotta say it holds up pretty
fucking great.
There is one thing about itthat I don't really care about,
a couple things, but my majorgrife with it.

(08:51):
Have you guys played it before?

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I'm not a halo person .
I've literally never played.
I say I've never played, but Inever played through the stories
of any of the Halos.
I just played multiplayer on acouple of them.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
I've never played through the story of Halo 1, but
I played through Halo 2 and 3with my buddy, ben, who you guys
know he was on with his dad.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I've never met him.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Doug, you've never even talked to him before.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
I don't think he doesn't text me at 7 in the
morning about my yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah, Doug, you've
never even talked to him before.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
I don't think he doesn't text me at 7 in the
morning about Magic.
Ever he does, dude same.
I'm going to message you like5.30.
He's like what do you think ofthis, commander?

Speaker 2 (09:27):
I'm like you fucking woke me up for this, bro.
Yeah, he sent me one the otherday and it was like so much text
and I'm like bro up.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
I have no idea if this is good or not Either way,
but we used to play all thoseand we went through ODST
together as well.
Very fun game because it's alittle different from regular
Halo, where it's like you know,halo is this big, like you're on
alien planets and you'refighting all these aliens, and
you're still kind of doing thatto an extent.

(09:56):
In this game You're stillfighting the aliens On the Dyson
Sphere.
There is no Dyson Sphere in thisone, but you're back on Earth,
which in Halo you don't reallyvisit Earth that often.
It was teased in Reach wherethey're like oh, you're going to
go to the fucking, was it NewMumbawa or something like that?
Mombasaasa, thank you, and younever really go there, but in

(10:17):
odst you are there it's an halo2 on that.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Is it because you go back to cairo, right oh?

Speaker 3 (10:26):
shit.
Maybe I don't remember halo 2all that much, so you might be
right.
Either way, it was a breath offresh air to be in in back on
earth and like it's verycondensed, like you're in a city
and the city's fucked up.
But my biggest gripe with it isit takes place at night, which
I like because it adds this liketension to everything.
And they give you this likenight vision like toggle where

(10:48):
you just flip it on and off.
But that night vision toggle isbasically required to be on at
all times, otherwise you can'tsee shit.
So if it's supposed to be, ifyou have to have it on all the
time, then just make that thestandard.
Look, don't give me the optionto turn it on and off if I can't
play without it off.
And that's my biggest gripe.

(11:10):
I like the concept, but I feelI did a little poorly, um, but
all in all, very fun game.
Probably going to play throughthe rest of the campaigns.
Probably going to skip one.
I got through.
I just find one very boring.
I got through.
I was playing it on the Xboxone.
I got about halfway through andit's just.
It's not for me.

(11:30):
I might just start a Halo 2 andgo from there, but I'm having a
really good time with it so far.
Yes, halo 2 mostly takes placeon there.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Well, fuck'm having a really good time with it so far
.
Yes, halo 2 mostly takes placeon Earth well, fuck, I was a
liar interesting.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
I uh also, mike, if you're logged in to the Epic now
, nope, well, nevermind.
They do free games every like,literally every day, or every
day, every or every day, everyother day, every two days,
something like that.
And they had Dead Island 2 acouple days ago, so I downloaded

(12:05):
that and it's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
It's pretty good.
Actually, they're free games.
Is there a time limit?
For how long you can play it?
Until it expires and they go onto another one?
No, you just get it.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
As long as you download it in the time that
it's available, like right now.
Their free games are calledDeliver it All Costs,
gigapocalypse and Sifu, whichGet Sifu.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
I want to play Sifu.
Yeah, Sifu's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Well, you have to download it on yours because I'm
not logged into the deludy one.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
But um, I mean you can do it you know what they say
when I see foo, I eat it, youknow see if it was the one where
you like get old right and likeyeah, every time you lose, I'm
really fast I know, I think natewas playing that one.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
He's like it's pretty cool, um, but yeah I'm just I
don't.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
I just I don't play video games like that to where,
like I can't say I have like agenre or something that I like.
I I tried picking up doom the2016 doom and it's, it's fun,
but I'm playing it in a way thatthe game doesn't want you to
play, so it's how can you evenplay doom wrong?
you just run around and shootI'm, I'm like my natural ability

(13:18):
is like or not natural ability,but like my natural like
response is every time I go intoan area, I just bust out the
pistol and bust out the scopeand I just shoot off demons from
a distance.
So like I'm doing like astealth version of Doom, which
doesn't work in Doom becauseit's not that kind of game.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
You just run in and just blast stuff man.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Exactly.
I don't think I like that.
I don't think.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Doom is for me.
Were you not a Quake.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
No, I'm not a running gun guy.
I don't think Doom is for me.
I knew it was that going intoit, but it was cheap as shit so
I bought it.
I think I bought it for fivebucks, so I was like fuck it,
why not?

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Okay, Unreal Tournament style.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
I really enjoyed Doom 2016, but I haven't played
either of the sequels.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, it's a really good game.
I'll give them that I'menjoying what I'm playing.
But again, I'm just playing itthe wrong way.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
I don't do running guns I guess you know what I
think I'm gonna bust out prettysoon here.
I think I'm gonna bust outsonic 2 battle arena on my
fucking gamecube, because I'llfucking, I want to get some
chows going hell yeah, dude geta chow garden.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, I love that shit, I kind of want to get um
back and like replay the slycooper games, because I fucking
love those games.
Those are my favorites.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Um if if you like that.
Did you like the like jack anddexter and like the ratchet and
clank games?

Speaker 3 (14:49):
oh yeah, I loved ratchet and clank.
I found a a glitch in ratchetand cl 1, I think it was for
infinite money and beat the gamepretty immediately because of
that.
There's a level where, matt,are you familiar with Ratchet
and Clank at all?
Yeah, have you played them have?

Speaker 1 (15:08):
you heard about this?
Have you seen this?
Yeah, I think I've played thefirst one.
I'm not a big fan of thoseearly PlayStation platformer
type games.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Oh, I love them, but maybe it's I'm biased because I
grew up on them, but I fuckinglove them.
Jak and Daxter 3.
Love that game because it'svery easy to get very
overpowered very quickly in thatgame.
I don't think they meant forthat to happen, but that's that
one where they introduce LightJack and Dark Jack.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
I don't think I played past, past the second
Jack and Dexter.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Oh, that one was my favorite, just because it
introduced like this, likeangelic version of Jack, and
then like this demonic version.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I think I know what you're talking about.
I think I've seen the image ofthat.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
But you collect these like egg things and you can use
them to purchase like like youcan.
You can use them to purchaselike like you can.
You can only stay in the angelmeter for so long for the meter
runs out, or the dark meter forso long for that runs out.
But if you get enough of theseegg things, it gives you
unlimited time in both.
And it's way too easy to getthat.
Like I, you get it almostwithin the first like hour of
the game.
Like it's very easy.

(16:14):
So where you're justoverpowered throughout the
entire fucking game.
Um, but back to Ratchet andClank.
Real quick little hack.
I found Glitch, glitchy, glitch.
There's that guy.
What's his name?
Uh, skid, it's like skidmcflaps or whatever.
The the skateboard guy.
You remember them?

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Um, honestly, it's been too long.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
I don't know His name's like skid mcmarks or skid
mFlash or something like that.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, and he's like a skateboarder guy.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
He gives you McMarx.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Is it McMarx?
Yeah, he's like a hippie, greenhippie guy.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah, and he gives you a skateboard, essentially,
and you go into this race andsay, oh, I gotta win this race
to do XYZ thing.
And while you're in the race,there are these boxes that
contain nuts and bolts, which isthe currency in the game.
And there is this one gun inthe game that you can purchase
called the Screecher, I think itis and it just shoots off this

(17:05):
alarm sound that breaks all theboxes around you.
If you walk up to boxes andthen you walk just on this level
, because on this level youcan't move backwards, it's just
straight up forward progressionit won't let you go back.
If you hop off the skateboardduring the race, you'll lose the

(17:27):
race, but you keep whatevernuts and bolts that you gain
from the race.
If you hop off it, when you seea bunch of boxes and you just go
like an inch or two in front ofthem to where they're off
screen, you could turn around,blast the um, that like
screecher gun, and it'll breakthe boxes and they're off screen
.
So just keep reloading back inover and over and you just get

(17:47):
unlimited money.
They have, uh, the, the, thegun in that game called the
rhino, which is rip you a newone.
Yeah, which is like the best,the best gun in the game.
I bought it immediately and godthat game got so easy after
getting that thing man, what agood game I like playing.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
I fucking love them.
And they got what'd you say.
I like playing games on easymode I do too.
I enjoy the story to games,even if it's not just like feel
like I'm just ripping through agame, Games that are just like
intentionally extremelydifficult.
I don't find a lot of enjoymentin that's why I don't play the
Souls games.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
I don't really care for those games at all.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
There's nothing fun about that to me.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, not my jam.
Like killing bosses is cool,but like why do I want to die 30
million times over and overagain, like I don't know?

Speaker 1 (18:37):
I'm already struggling through life.
Why would I want to?

Speaker 2 (18:39):
relax in my free time by struggling through some
artificial like I will say I Iusually play games on like their
, like normal mode.
I don't typically start them onlike easier if I have the
option to, but, um, it's more soI just like.
I like to have a little bit ofa challenge, yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
I'm with you on that.
Yeah, I, I'm, I'm, I'm withboth.
You know I like going like thatheavy medium depends on the
game.
To like doom, I'm trying toplay through it but I put on
easy mode because, like I'm nottrying to die a fuckload and I
see, like the other games havethis advancing very
out-of-this-world plot that Ikind of want to get to.

(19:20):
Bless you, doug.
So I play on easy, so I don'tjust get my ass thrashed in.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
See, Doom is something I would play on normal
because it basically has nostory, and so if it's just too
easy, then there's like there'sno point.
Well, they expanded it.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
Doom Eternal and Dark Ages is like a pretty heavy
story, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (19:40):
My cat, just took a shit and it's so smelly.
Oh, my fucking god RIP.
You know what game I'm not justtalking about, like old games
that I really want to play.
I want to play fucking Turok.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Turok yeah, the N64 or one of the 360.
Yeah, the N64.
Oh, I love the 360 one.
It's so bad but so good I justwant to.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
So I, in my living room I have like, uh, the Calac
bulbs, you know, like the big,just the squares, um, and I have
all of my systems hooked up andI bought like a switcher, um,
and I bought a RGB like cablethat I can plug into it and just
plug into whichever console Iwant to, you know, plug it into.

(20:26):
And then I have an HDMI portfor like it's like six different
ports that I can plugeverything into, so I can just
click a button and it goes toeach one.
And, uh, I haven't utilized itnearly enough.
But, man, I just want to bustout a bunch of my old n64 games.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Like I want to play conqueror's bad fur day, fucking
donkey conk 64, like yeah, I'mtrying to get back into like my
playstation 1 stuff, but a lotof my um, my playstation 1 don't
play discs all that well, the,the audio is fucked up and my
PlayStation 2 doesn't run, soI'm running out of shit.

(21:00):
I don't have anything to playthis on and I don't want to play
a ROM.
I get ROMs will run just aswell, but I want the physical
thing, I want the disc, I wantthe case, I want all that shit.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
You should just buy a new Playstation.
They're really not thatexpensive.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
I know.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
I'll probably end up getting another PS2 because I
mean, at that point it'sbackwards compatible, so why the
fuck not just get that?
The thing you can do with yourPS2 is.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
I know you said you don't want to download ROMs, but
they're very easy to soft modwhere you can just plug a hard
drive into them and just run theimages.
Like, I have a hard driveplugged into my PS2 that has
basically every PS2 game in itand they just boot right off.
Some of them don't work right.
That's how my Wii U is it'smodded.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
I never bust out my Wii U, but it's got every Wii U
game on it.
I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
My Wii had that.
Yeah, not every game downloadedon it, but Nintendo put
something on there where itwouldn't read burned CDs and I
had it modded to where it could.
So my neighbor used to justburn fucking games.
For me I have, I shit you not astack of probably like 200
games just lying around aroundhere ready to go.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Your ps2 disk drive doesn't work, but it still
starts, so you could do that.
What?
Like plug something into it,yeah, yeah that's fine, you get
a big memory card.
I actually have a.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Japanese ps2.
Yeah, I do too, purely forJapanese games.
Yeah, so wait, how would that?

Speaker 3 (22:37):
work.
What yeah I?
Do too Purely for Japanesegames.
So wait, how would that work?
What would I do with it?

Speaker 2 (22:41):
You stick it up your butt.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
What do you mean?
You plug a hard drive into itthat has all the images on it,
and then you just select thegame you want to boot and it
boots it oh, it's that easy.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Huh pretty much all the old consoles are really easy
to hack, like that's fair.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
I guess there's not much going on with them either.
They're very basic once.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Uh, so once a console , I forget, am I?
I used to have a buddy who waslike really into this stuff, but
basically, once a consoledoesn't have a lot of support
anymore, the mod community ispretty much the first ones to be
able to see like exactly howthey need to do it, and they'll
get like all the the ins andouts of the console and then

(23:26):
they just immediately hack theconsole like pretty quickly.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Um, people do it before it goes out of style too,
but that's kind of dying thoughbecause there was a period of
time where, when the PS2 wentout of support, or the PS3 or
whatever, a lot of hacks becamepublic that were previously kind
of kept under wraps because thecompany stopped supporting it

(23:50):
and they kind of turned a blindeye to it because they don't
sell games for that consoleanymore.
Because they don't sell gamesfor that console anymore.
But now, since so many LikeNintendo is selling N64 games
and stuff on their emulator onthe Switch, they've gotten way
more aggressive about shuttingthat sort of stuff down and a
lot of the companies are veryaggressive about it when the

(24:14):
console is like still ingeneration, like there's a um,
there's a podcast called darknetdiaries.
That's like a, it's like acyber security podcast, but it
also just talks.
It's mostly this guy who justdoes interviews with, like
people who are in undergroundscenes on the internet or that
have done like significant cybercrime type stuff.

(24:35):
But there's an episode about aguy who was part of a huge part
of, like the early xbox hackingscene and microsoft ruined this
kid's life.
I mean completely ruined hislife.
He, he, he owes like 10 milliondollars or something like that
and he'll never be able to payback and he spent time.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
I think I saw something about that dude.
That's fucking crazy.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
God damn.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Corporations suck ass man.
Yeah, there's millions andmillions of dollars Like worth
companies.
They're like what if we like,destroy this?

Speaker 1 (25:09):
little.
What if a hundred billiondollars wasn't enough and we
needed to ruin people's lives,infinite growth, baby, gotta
have it.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Let us set this example.
I don't know, I just I missgaming back in the day.
There's, there's, and it'sprobably just my old man, like
back in my day, but I feel likethere's a certain like, there's
a certain feeling and vibe tolike playstation one and
playstation 2 games or like thatjust generation, those
generations in general thathasn't been recaptured oh, I

(25:43):
love it, dude, I'm.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
I'm such a sucker for nostalgic, like anything 90s
and early 2000s.
I'm a sucker for like.
I love the nostalgia factor tolike the stuff we did when we
were kids.
You know what I'm saying?
Like I do enjoy games or tv orwhatever it is like.
I literally will sit and watchand this is I don't know if this

(26:04):
is what this says about me as aperson, but I will literally
watch those like compilations onyoutube where it's like 30
minutes of 90s halloweencommercials oh, yeah, I get
those.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah, I'll fucking watch that.
I'll watch these corporate ads,hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Hell yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Man, they already watched this good, didn't they?

Speaker 1 (26:24):
They did.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
I'm going back to it.
Fucking yep Wish there was afucking you know Circuit City
near me.
Still Gosh Circuit.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
City always sucked ass.
It was totally a front forsomething.
You ever actually go into acircuit city most of the time
they were, just there was likenothing in there it was all
bullshit.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
It was like phones before phones were really phones
.
It was like radios and likecontrol, like rc cars and like
really random shit, if Iremember exactly it was like it
was.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
It was like uncanny valley almost, and there was
almost never anybody actuallyshopping in there.
But you just go in there and itwas just like metal shelves
just full of, like you said,just like random electronic shit
.
It was like if somebody waslike, yeah, this is what an
electronic store would sell Iremember the shells of circuit
cities better than I do theinside of Circuit Cities.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
There was one in my town for so long I remember it
being empty more than I rememberit ever being an actual store.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
There's a Radio Shack in Yorkville.
I think at one point RadioShack was fucking lit dude.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
You know what's funny .

Speaker 2 (27:37):
I think I might have been thinking of Radio Shack
while I was talking aboutCircuit City.
No, no.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Circuit City was like these very large retail stores
that were Right, they were bigbut they sold office supplies,
and then it was the type ofequipment that you were talking
about, but it was like the storeis way too big for this and
there's like there's, they donot have the foot traffic to

(28:05):
sustain this.
It doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
I never understood those tech like stores though,
like that, Like did you everhave like a Tiger Direct, like
actual store near you?
I was about to say bring backtiger direct and fries
electronics yeah, dude, liketiger direct was like just
filled with computer shit andeverything was expensive and
it's like who's coming in hereand like buying any of this

(28:28):
stuff off your shelf, like, yeah, maybe a computer, but like
you've got three aisles worth ofcables that I don't think are
even relevant anymore, like whatwhat is going on?

Speaker 3 (28:39):
There's a firewire in here.
What I don't want to see?
Some firewire.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
The only one of those stores that made any sense to
me was is well, and he's stilldoing really well is uh, fuck.
No, I can't even think of thename.
They just built a new one in.
Oh, uh.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Micro Center.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah, Micro.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Center.
Yep, I'm kind of hoping a MicroCenter comes up near us.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
but yeah, either way, micro Center's sick and they
have like fantastic deals onshit too.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah that's probably why they're still around,
because they always like killedit.
They were killing it.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, they'll run sales on like CPUs and graphics
cards and stuff that you canonly get in-store.
But they're like elegant, hellyeah, but no, never been to one.
I'm sure there's one close toyou.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
I'll just go to a Best Buy dawg.
It's the same thing, really,right.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah, really get fucking put on some lipstick and
go get fucked.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Hey, we bought a laptop from there, I think.
I actually don't remember whenwe got our laptop from.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
We bought it from Newegg, did we?
I think so.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
I think I ship from TigerDirect online all the time
Because they usually had goodprices on stuff but then they
went out of business.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Did they go out of?
Yeah, did they damn.
Somebody bought the rights.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Somebody bought the rights to the name not that long
ago and there is a TigerDirectwebsite now, but it's ass.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Oh, it's fucking South32 all over again.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Oh my god, what's going on with that website?

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Go check it out.
It just redirects at theconstruction company now.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Oh shit, that's unfortunate, it's just.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
TigerDirect.
I've been retired.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Oh, retired?
I don't know.
I've never went to those Stores.
I do miss like Um.
I was talking with Robbie, ourbuddy, about this and like he
was like yeah, I miss likephysical, like events and shit,
like midnight releases, like youdon't have those anymore.

(30:41):
There's no, there's no lines oranything.
There's no hype about like anew release anymore.
It's just it's expected to comeout and it comes out.
There's no like, there's nolike party for it or anything
you know.
There's no launch.
It's just here it is buy it.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
I blame a lot of that on covid too, because like
nothing's open open 24 hoursanymore, and as soon as they
haven't done, it in a long time.
They haven't done that well tobe fair, I've, I've had.
I went to a midnight release of, uh, the last pokemon game at
my game stop that used to be bymy house.
I mean, granted, the midnightrelease was like 10pm, but like

(31:23):
you know, yeah.
But uh, after COVID I noticedthat they no longer did it.
They were just like, yeah, theday of we'll call you, you can
come in.
It's like oh sick, cool, Iguess, and now everybody just
digitally downloads it.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
They barely even sell physical copies of shit anymore
.
That's the big thing.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Yeah, I miss owning a thing.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
I'm a sucker for owning a thing.
That's why I collect DVDs.
Still, I fucking love DVDs.
I love the shitty quality of aDVD.
Give me the shit quality I wantthat I'm starting a DVD
collection but like just puttingthe shit quality I want that.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
I'm starting a DVD collection.
Just putting your ownership ofmedia in corporations' hands is
a horrible, horrible idea.
They pull stuff off of Netflixall the time.
There's lots of games youstraight up can't download
anymore.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
They shut the Xbox 360 store down, so if you had
digital copies of any Xbox 360games, you can't get them
anymore yeah, I, I lost a bunchof movies and tv on xbox 360
because I had bought them andnow I can't view any of it.
I can't like.
I had uh full seasons of stufflike eureka and like, uh,
warehouse 13 that I had boughtand fucking the jackass gumball

(32:36):
rally, which is insanely hard tofind on dvd, um, that I
couldn't access because I justcan't log into that anymore and
just see your stuff.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
I was very upset my piracy is a good thing.
The other thing is like theythey change stuff too, like uh
grand theft auto vice city andfor the music licenses for a
bunch of the music in the gameexpired so they updated the
Steam version and just took themusic out, so like the versions
of those games on Steam havelike half the music from the

(33:08):
original on them, I'm so glad Istill own an original copy of
Midnight Club Los Angeles, causethe music in that is fucking
slapping.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
I guarantee they lost the rights to the music on that
, because that was like fucking20 plus years ago at this point.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
That's a big reason why they can't redo a lot of
those kind of games.
Like people have been askingfor Need for Speed Underground
remasters forever but like Imean they got like Lil Jon on
the soundtrack and stuff.
They can't, and it's not onlythe license for the music but
the licenses for the cars too,because they had to pay for
licenses for Ford and Honda andToyota and stuff and they don't
have that anymore.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Yeah, there's even like you can't even find.
Disney, for example, owns theSimpsons.
They removed the first episodeof season three, star Craving
Dad, whichever one of that.
They removed the first episodeof season three Star Craving Dad
, whichever one that is I forgetwhich season it is or whatever

(34:05):
but they removed that which islike a very popular Simpsons
episode.
It's seen as one of the betterepisodes and it's just not even
on Disney+.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
They removed the Michael Jackson one too, I think
.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
That's the one that's Star Craving Dad.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yeah, yeah, it's just gone.
You cannot find that unless youhave it on fucking DVD.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
I do it's ridiculous.
I think, up to season 17 on DVDfor the Simpsons, because I
collected that in South Park,which I'm super glad about and I
know, matt, you're a South Parkfan.
They're moving it from Hulu orParamount.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Yeah, paramount.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah, they're.
They moved it from Paramount toHBO and they are they're
banning so many of the episodethe legal battle between that
shit was insane.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
I've I looked into that because, um, Paramount I
forget which one it is, but it'seither Paramount has a license
for a series of South Parkmovies and HBO has a license for
the show, or it's vice versaParamount- put out a bunch of
movies recently and now they'rein like this legal battle for

(35:16):
who owns what because the SouthPark creators they both they
accept recently, yeah, and nowthey're in like this legal
battle for who owns what because, uh, the south park creators
like they both, they acceptedlike a 900 million dollar deal
from like hbo and like a fucking1 billion dollar deal from
paramount, and now they're bothlike colliding and they don't
know what to fucking do.
And it's this giant legal battlefor South Park.

(35:37):
So, like they're trying tofigure out, um, if like cause,
like they can't make movies,cause, then Paramount gets them.
If they make the show, then itdoesn't go to Paramount, it just
goes strictly to HBO and HBO, Ithink.
I think Paramount owns uhComedy Central and the show is
being aired on Comedy Central,which they're losing, they don't

(35:58):
have the ability to do anymorebecause HBO owns the and the
show is being aired on ComedyCentral, which they don't have
the ability to do anymorebecause HBO owns the rights to
the show.
So it's this whole fuckinglegal battle.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
You've seen it just airing too.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Yeah, I'm wondering if that's why it's this
insane-ass legal battle, becausethese guys signed two different
deals with two different giantconglomerate companies.
It's nuts.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Corporations Well yeah, I, giant conglomerate
companies, it's nutsCorporations.
I think I was just talkingabout this episode, season 7,
episode 1, it's called Cancelledwhere they expose Earth as a
giant reality TV show for aliens.
That's one of the bannedepisodes and I have no idea why.
I literally don't.
I think it's because they makefun of Jewish people in it,

(36:38):
because this race of aliens islike clearly jewish, um, but uh,
it's so stupid movie executivesyeah, pretty much like they
have these like big ass noses,like huge noses, um, but uh,
yeah, it's, it's stupid A racein our history.

(37:00):
Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
A race in our history our Simpsons and our South Park
.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Can't wait for the Golden.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
Dome, golden Dome.
Yeah, it's just support piracy,ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Yeah, seriously.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
Go to your local Pirate Bay, see what they have
in stock and download it, causeit's probably something cool.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
That's fine.
Well, I gotta call it a night,cause I gotta fucking get up and
drive.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah, I do too.
I have a fucking, I have tolead a meeting tomorrow in the
morning and I don't.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
I feel like I haven't been home Like barely for like
the last.
Feel like I haven't been homeLike barely For like the last
month.
