You were now listening to the podcastfor Geeks and the Stuff they Love,
where each week we'll talk about everythingfrom anime to movies, games and prop
collecting with the people who create andlove it. I'm Jeremy, I'm Vince,
I'm James, and Vice is yourgeek bits. We asked people about
how long ago month and a half, two months ago to make I guess
(00:22):
it was two months ago because itwas when James and I were on Okay,
you can see everything I'm looking athere, let's see. Let me
open up my other file. Herewe go and uh and you know,
and this first first portion is almostdedicated. Actually, all these portions are
dedicated to different people that are aremembers of our channel. Because I think
(00:44):
I know that he thinks it's funnybecause they always get wrong ceiling sluts.
There you go. I'm never gonnaget it that good actually followed through and
made a song. I should have. I should have done the version where
it actually showed the cover as well, but that I downloaded it instead.
But this is the song A StrangerThing. We are geeks on a mission
(01:10):
to explore new things and new intereststo Boldy show before noon. There you
go, got a little bit ofstar Trek thing, get a little bit
of do you know about about theNoon meme? The Noon meme? Yeah,
there was this guy called Noon andand e with his surname and uh.
(01:34):
And then they said basically when peoplemisspell no one, it's just Noon
nose. And then he was justfrustrated the people people said, I don't
know anything. I'm just a guynamed Noon. How come people keep saying
no, no, No, That'sthe whole thing about it. He actually
embraced it and and yeah, hewent on about I think even at a
(01:57):
website or something like that. Ohreally, yeah, because the other thing
that he said that I thought waspretty cool, which I want to have.
I want to print. In fact, I have a plan to print
this this week, all of them. Uh, because he knew that we
like the Tokyo. This is afree by the way file. Can you
(02:20):
guys see this? Yeah, it'sa map of Japan, detailed three D
map, and it actually has severalpieces to it. There's actually one of
these where it shows the animation orthe but basically you can switch it out
where is there is Oh there's avideo, look at that kind of cool
(02:46):
and so Toko Tower on there andeverything is really clear and pretty good.
I would love to do that andthen color it using the I have a
process. I've learned that you canoverlay for doing overlay coloring. That'd be
kind of cool and something like that, except it won't. It won't it
(03:08):
won't bend around it like that.But yeah, that's pretty cool. But
shooting raised like like like either orsomething that'd be cool. Yeah, I
han't thought of that. Another thingthat he had brought up was or that
he had recommended, was doing aform. Actually he's asked me multiple times
(03:29):
about this, so I thought,well, and I said, I'm gonna
bring it up to everyone. Uhwhat they would see? What they think?
Uh? You know, the ideaof being able to communicate with each
other as far as as far asmembers of the community and being able to
share things and files and stuff likethat for bills or giving recommendations or requesting
(03:52):
help with different things, and andI'm for that. I just don't know
what what or where people do CourtChannel and some forums are you know which
which I'm involved in one right nowfor the uh, I really hate my
hair in this picture. The I'mI'm involved in the discord right now.
(04:12):
Actually that that involves. Uh.In fact, Connor I think is the
one that set it up. I'mnot sure, but he's the one.
Uh. So that's right, you'reinto two James. Uh. And it's
good because we're able to get informationbefore this upcoming year. But uh but
at the same time, yeah,I don't know. Uh, we could
(04:33):
do we could do a discord.That'd be an easy way to share things.
Uh. Server wise, I alwaysI own still the the u r
L your geek fix dot com.I've thought about putting something there. I
haven't put anything there because I honestlyjust don't know what I want to put
there yet. Uh. But anyway, so, I mean we do have
(04:55):
options that way. These are thingsthat we do know about, but or
something on the slide. I dohave Patreon as well. Actually, okay,
there's two things that people ask meabout all the time that I will
admit with well we have a patreo. Well yeah, I wish that was
the No. The main questions arewhat can you what can you do with
(05:21):
the Patreon because I have the Patreonaccount. We have we have it in
the like even in this in thisvideo, if you look in said the
description on all of our podcast videos. It has like information for Vince,
has information for James, and thenit has a thing for me and for
our channel in it. And oneof those things is that we got Patreon
(05:41):
is on there. And then alsothere is a uh well this proves that
I'm not very involved in it.Uh you know twitch our twitch account which
I was talking to do and twitchby by India Bernardo and I have done
(06:03):
nothing with it, but I didhave the intention of doing some live stream
builds or something. I don't know. But anyway, but I mean they're
out there, they have been created. You'll see that they're there. But
if you go in and you're likehawking, there's nothing there, well it's
because I have done anything in there, and just we will ask the community
to come up with some tears,like what do they like? What do
(06:23):
they want? Yeah, yeah,I do feel I mean, I'll admit
this too. I sometimes I feellike it's it's a lot of work,
you know what I mean, LikeI don't want it to become a thing
where I feel like this is likebut yeah, so I don't know.
But at the same time, Imean, yeah, throughout your ideas,
(06:45):
things that you're thinking of also alongthe news wise, I mean we usually
do this first recording, we alljust kind of talk things that are kind
of updates and also related to thischannel, because I a lot of things
I'm talking about right now are basedoff of comments, and over this last
month, our channel's kind of blownup, and I've had over a thousand
(07:05):
comments, and a lot of thosecomments relate to things that I'd rather answer
once than keep writing the same answersover and over again. So here's some
of those answers. Fan Home.It's true I opened I opened three boxes
last November, which were the MillenniumFalcon, the Back to the Future DeLorean,
(07:29):
and then the Enterprise D from StarTrek. And at that point in
time too, I wasn't sure ifI wanted to do it exactly like I've
done it before, where every singlemonth I'm going through and nanting things.
And that's hard because at the sametime, one of those videos, particularly
brought you know, had over onehundred thousand views, and a lot of
(07:49):
new subscribers who subscribe with that purposelythey wanted to be able to watch those
kinds of videos. And what Idecided to do one because of the shipping
problem this going on, but twobecause I decided. I didn't know at
the time when I lasted these,I thought part of my contract with getting
those was that I had to doindividual videos every single time. I found
(08:11):
out actually it's only the first videothat they hold me to anything, which
allows me to not only a doit how I want after that, but
also I'm allowed to do third partythings, which I want to use a
lot of mods for these. I'vebeen planned to do that, and then
I've decided because I've now accumulated fourboxes for each I'm looking at them across
the room, and so I'm goingto just do four boxes at a time
(08:33):
in each video. So that meansmaybe there'd be a video each month,
and then it will cover a lotmore ground and kind of go for that
way. I also got the newmodel. In case you didn't see it,
I really am. Oh yeah,you can't see it yet, which
is another thing. So I haveto wait until fan hone gives me permission
until they watched the video before Ican release it. So I actually filmed
(08:54):
the video over a week ago.James and Vin's had access to it,
but yeah, special special access.But I'm really excited about it because,
in case you didn't know, oneof the things that they sent me is
is the is the Mustang from Goneto sixty sections Eleanor and the reason why
(09:16):
I got so excited about it,and I'm hoping that it is the beginning
of the beginning of something, especiallyif they're going to do all the other
cars, because they already had inEleanor that was a smaller version. So
I'm hoping that like the other onesthat were smaller versions, like the Back
to the Future car, like theEcto one, that they're going to now
be releasing them in one six scale. This one I just started building is
(09:37):
one six scale. I don't knowif you guys got to see the size
of it, but the front ofthe car was almost the width of my
shoulders, Like it was huge.And so I'm just really excited about something
I can actually put figures into becauseI don't have It seems like every car
I seem to get lately from whatevercompany and build or I put together or
I modify, they I can't fita figure side. And you're building a
(10:01):
new house in Germany with I know, right I am going to be selling
off a lot of stuff. Actuallythat's part of this little this next little
piece I'm going to get into too. But the same time, uh,
and giving away a bunch of stuff, but also yeah, the same thing.
(10:22):
That's that's for the only fans.H no I I I also got
a cutter that I did release avideo on recently. Uh. These things
kind of show up to at timeswhen I've already got a million other things
going on. But I released thatthat I was also excited about. I
(10:43):
wasn't so much. I mean,the cutter is great, and it is,
it's great, uh. I Iwas actually surprised at how great it
is, quite frankly, compared tothe ones that were much more money.
In fact, my first cutter Ipaid for and it was all it was
a lot of money. And thisthing does more than what my first one
did only a year from the yearbefore. But the point of it is
the thing I'm also really excited aboutand a major change I'm planning on doing
(11:07):
on this channel, and I'm goingto encourage whoever else other it does similar
things. Is when I first startedthis channel, I my whole point was
I want to make things that peoplewould realistically be able to make. Because
I always got frustrated with the factthat I would watch these videos and they'd
have these tools and it's like,well that's nice and all, but I
don't have that. It's like alot of Adam Savage's videos. I don't
go, yeah, yeah, it'slike sure, I mean I can't do
(11:33):
that right, and and you know, and I'm always it always bugs me
when people do write me and they'relike, well, even even with those
efforts of trying to wait until thingsbecame more accessible, so I didn't do
three D printing for the first year. I think it was uh, you
know, because people were like,I don't have a three D printer.
I don't know where I can getone. Well, not everybody really has.
(11:54):
I think either has access or youcan get a nice I was surprised
to say, I have actually twothree D printers I got for free,
not not not like given to me, because I mean, like that's just
how it works. Like you goon the site and I got it for
free, and they're they're they're cheap, but they and they're slow, but
(12:16):
they get the job done and theydid it actually a pretty good job.
So I do with these kinds ofthings, you know, like like this
is all the tools I have,Like, yeah, that's pretty good,
Like yeah, I need I needthat stuff. Yeah yeah, this is
(12:37):
what you for for your like yeahyeah modele nippers like this this is what?
Oh is that you? Oh yeahthat's pretty cool. Yeah hey,
(12:58):
I I mean the thing to mewas the reason why I got excited about
that video and also about about allthis is that I think all the tools,
even even the vinyl cutters, Iwouldn't recommend getting a cricket. I
do like my cricket, but Igot it before they started putting a subscription
on it. And you basically,oh they did period, I don't know
(13:20):
they didn't. No, no,they I have a cretty joint that the
small one and you can just doit. They went back on that.
When did you? But but didyou get it before they went back on
that? Yeah? Yeah, Sothat's that's the thing. So anyone you
and I were grandfather did in anyonethat buys it new you're limited on how
many cuts you get really unless youpay for it. Yeah. Yeah,
(13:43):
I thought they I thought they stoppedthem because of the backlash. Nope,
okay, now ye still sturing French. I don't know, I mean if
they did and then I apologized cricket, but quite frankly. Yeah. But
at the same time, there's Imean, there's plenty that are out there
that I looked at even recently,super cheap. I mean the tools.
(14:05):
Now, it's not a thing whereyou have to go someplace or spend you
know, a large amount of moneyto do making anymore. I mean,
I use so, yeah, that'sthat's a pretty good way to go or
just your toenails does okay? Wewe uh yeah, and we and we
are getting a little bit of also, I will say, like fan Home
(14:28):
fan Home recently, I'll tell youguys in advance, I got paid one
hundred dollars for opening up the firstbox. Spend Yeah, I know,
right, Yeah, it's a littlebit of money. I mean it's not
yeah, but you know, atthe same time, it's yeah, it's
(14:50):
uh what first takes me the mostof that. Phan Home doesn't support new
subscriptions for the Ecto one. There'sa reason for that, the same reason
why I can't why they're not sendingit to me. Yeah, because they're
still in the in the and thecontainer is going through Africa. I guess,
well, and they're and they're revampingit. So it's gonna be a
(15:16):
new model for who anyone that getsit from here out. Yeah, it's
me haunted. That's it. Theygot this lady that like still sacrificing children
to make it, just to makeit, make it good. That's right.
(15:37):
Yeah. So I mean there there'sthat piece. The other thing I
want to mention is that we arewe do. I mean I've mentioned this
before. We do all these recordingsall at once, like four to five
at a time, so you know, this week you've got the new you
know, the Fallout series is comingout. No, I wasn't one of
(15:58):
the people. It was like enough, although somebody that wants that's going to
come on a show did get ago Uh she she's she's just recently admitted
to that because they were they wereactually on an embargo. They weren't allowed
to share the fact that before theysent them to the Philly in Texas,
they sent them to California to watchthe movie or watch the first two episodes,
(16:18):
and everybody that's scene a lot ofbig time you know YouTubers I've watched
for years related to Fallout all saidthat they were surprised at how much they
tried to stick to the detail andstick to the lore and everything else and
anything. That's always like they feellike you're gonna work out. Yeah,
well yeah, yeah, this iswhat you're gonna write you. They're very
(16:40):
excited about it, actually, andso and they've all ordered, you know,
they're they're all their props and thingslike that that they want to get
because they've seen the show. NowI've got my general issue slippers. Yeah,
are you right? They look good? How much to say they are?
Oh, they were very expensive,but they got them on a discount.
I mean they're forty fifty bucks orsomething if you buy them like at
(17:02):
retail. That's not too bad forslippers, though, I mean not by
the way, just in case,you know. I mean, at the
same time, that's that's not tootoo bad. I mean there's definitely Yeah,
that's not too bad for slippers.I know it sounds like a lot,
but opening books, it looks itlooks like TJ Max level. I
(17:26):
was at TJ Max the other daythat they had them for thirty that looked
kind of like that. So thatdoesn't not too out of control. Although
that's on discount though, right,that was after your discos. Yeah.
Sometimes sometimes that's the store does alittle discount and they go for ten bucks
or fifteen bucks or something. Ohwell yeah, yeah. Sometimes. You
know what I miss is is thethe follow up stuff at like I said
(17:48):
before, a game stop. Yeah, you go to game stop and they
just figure things out for cheap.Oh yeah, very nice. I got
that when I was in America.Oh did you indeed the Yeah, I
mean we won't be able to.So we're we're gonna do three episodes or
four episodes. People are gonna watchand they're gonna be like, how come
(18:11):
not he's bringing up or he's talkedabout reviewing you know how the Fallowout series
was. I think the reason isbecause we haven't seen it. So I
mean, yeah, so just nowwe can do with the edit. I
know it was great. Well Ican't I can't share. I mean,
(18:37):
these guys know also because I don'twant to jinx it. Uh before the
next time that we'll sit down andmeet, all have been involved in something
else in relation to to all thisstuff. If you reach two thousand,
that's that's the idea. You getme to that number. Oh we do,
okay, Yeah, But at thesame time, I want to joke
(19:00):
up ahead but at the same time, so so all that I can say
is that it it is related toto the pit Boy that we reviewed.
I can't tell you what I knownow I saw what's funny enough is yeah,
not that pit Boy. But stillbut I will say. The only
things I'll say is this one.If you got if you put in your
(19:22):
pre order for the pit Boy,then man, there's too much news to
cover. Every time I start talking, I'm like, oh, I should
mention that too, should Well that'sright, yeah, if if if you
haven't seen our shorts about it.We got to name the newest the new
pit Boy. Literally, the storyis pretty short and sweet. After we
(19:45):
spent so long, uh talking toChris, I think it was even like
two to three. I might evenbeen a no, it was. It
was a few days later. Istarted to do editing, but I had
to go back to Vegas. SoI also told Chris, you know,
I'm not gonna be able to finishthis until you get back from Vegas,
so I'll just do some shorts.So we released some shorts, and I'm
releasing the shorts and I'm like,wait a minute, what is this called
(20:07):
like, all the pit boys havenames, you know, we know,
we know, we know the differencebetween every pit boy that's ever been and
right, this one's called Bob,so you can sell the same both ways.
But at the same time, I'mlike, yeah, what's the name
of this? So I texted,I sent Chris to text and said,
hey, you know, by theway, what is the name of this?
(20:29):
And if they haven't named yet,you know, here's a couple of
names I think would be good,and here's why. And then he's like,
yeah, I don't know either.Now they think about it, you
know, and it'd been months thatthey had been working with them by that
point. He's like, I don'tknow either. He's like, here's some
names I think, you know whichI actually liked. I liked his names
and your name Vince, not justyour name Vince, but the Vince came
(20:49):
up with the pit boy. Yeah, the Vince Boy, the pit boy
Prime, which was on the nose, was what a lot of people wrote
me in the comments. That's aboutthe fact that they didn't spend that much
effort on the series. If theydidn't even grow up with a name for
their pit I think for the seriesitself. I think it was because they
(21:11):
decided to go general and they justcalled it the pit Boy. Now,
remember this is the series one,and uh there's a lot of stuff from
this show. From what I've heardfrom from as far as talkers, there's
that this is gonna be related tothe upcoming games. So uh so that
(21:33):
makes so we needed something that hada name in it. There you go.
But at the same time, soso yeah, so we throw out
some names. One of the onesthat Chris came up with was the pit
Boy thirty five hundred or no,yeah, was that in three hundred?
Yeah? And then the pit Boythree thousand version of four point one or
(22:00):
something I can't remember, but anyrate. And then and then he sent
it off to Amazon to Drew isthe guy. I don't know if I'm
supposed to share that guy. He'stied into the guy in charge of everything
production wise, for production. Andhe came back and he said that the
(22:22):
decision was made the Amazon was officiallyaccepting the name of the Boy three thousand,
right, that's right, yeah,yeah, yeah, but we did
get The best part is actually thispart is funny. So I I,
uh, when when he sent meback and he told me that the news.
(22:45):
I immediately wrote back to Chris andI'm like, hey, so does
this mean so? I said,uh, oh, here it is.
Oh man, we also got toname this the new space ship called Spaceship
for the Starfild. He said,oh, so, I wrote him and
(23:08):
it was just like, so,so that means that they did accept they
accepted the name that I submitted.Then I was like, that that's the
one I submitted. I said,so does that mean, like, is
that it or did I just happenedto guess it? And he said no,
that was you know, they acceptedyours. And I said, so
can I tell people that? Andhe's His response was oh sure, can
champ so there But anyway, sothat's an involvement in Fallout. Yeah,
(23:33):
so it fall Out. It's goingto be like created director Jeremy from now.
There's some things I now think about. I haven't told you guys everything,
so and at the same time,I'm still going to speak in code.
So if you bought pre bot yourpit Boy three thousand, mark five,
which is important for the packaging,okay, then you're gonna be pleasantly
(23:57):
surprised because it's going to do alot of things that we never discussed and
and some of which was even Ithink influenced by some of the comments.
But but I will just say thatit is everything that you could possibly want.
So oh yeah, it can freezetime. Oh yeah, it has
(24:19):
a bats mode I could use.Yeah, for those that are out there
they're making being critical. I thinkit's gonna be hilarious though, because there's
a lot of people that are tryingto just be punky about it and they're
like, this is gonna be apiece of crap and stuff, and then
by the time they actually see itand everybody has showing theirs off, Uh,
(24:40):
they won't be able to get it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
that's right. They won't get anything. But can we get a cameo in
there? Then if it's everything wehave on the pit boy itself or in
the end in the show, yeah, we will do it. Audio.
(25:00):
Maybe we keep pushing on. Ithink if they had a moment in the
show where like the terminal cup comesup and like our names were in like
some sort of text, and that'dbe cool. That'd be cool. Yeah,
probably never gonna happen, but itwould be cool just to be have
some more involvement. If we canget our views up and now we will,
(25:21):
maybe we'll get invited. But onthe flip side, the other piece
I'm going to tell you is Iam going to be seeing there's five now
there's four prototypes and a fully workingversion that Chris has. I'm going to
have my hands on them next montharound the twelfth of May and uh and
(25:44):
in California, and that's all themore that I can tell you about it.
It will be very exciting. Iwill say this too, is that
when I started this channel, Ihad a goal in mind that was unrealistic,
and I'm basically going to be achievingthat goal next month. At least
that's the plan. So any rate, again, don't want to jinx it.
But at the same time, sowhat else is it in California?
(26:04):
I don't know he actually said itin the interview, But at the same
time, I'm not going to opellyannounce it. But yeah, yeah,
very exciting, so pretty pretty excitingstuff. But you speaking of pit boys,
Ermie Jermy, you should get apit boy. That's it. I'm
going to edit that part out.I will share some video with you here
(26:29):
because there is something speaking of workingpit boys. All right. So also
this last month, an individual bythe name of John Baird. I got
to double check what his the nameof his channel is he gives aware this.
His his name on YouTube is poptop eighty nine. And he released
(26:51):
a video this last month called IBuilt a Working pit Boy his project log
and he goes through and shows howhe how he did that and kind of
what his final His final version kindof looked like here's can you guys see
the screen? Yeah? Wow?So so he did this with a raspberry
(27:12):
pie. It's well, actually sorry, it's technically but he did this with
Obviously there's a bit of wiring thatyou can see there, which was my
initial criticism that have been that bro. But it it has a few wires.
(27:37):
But the same time, all ofhis knobs work, and the buttons
work on the front and so butand he had to add a couple of
buttons. I think in order tothe downside to the pit Boy two thousands,
it doesn't have enough knobs to reallyjustify how things work, which Nate
even told me, He's like,yeah, I mean, obviously it's not
(28:00):
really designed to do everything. Itdoes this other thing. You turn the
knob and it does like eighty billionthings, and it's like, how did
you get that narrow to go overthere in the in the game? But
at the same time, yeah,he designed this and uh and yeah,
there had to be a lot ofexternal stuff initially, but now he sent
me so he sent me some updatedthings. Let me see if I can
(28:23):
click through these or not. He'she's able to control volume and everything that's
coming in. He has the screenstuff. But as you can see from
the final version, you see thathe's cleaned up all that wiring, so
I don't know where it all went, but he said, you know,
he also found it was getting caughton things and pulling apart and stuff,
(28:45):
so he did clean that up.And the knob on the side, right,
Yeah, isn't that cool? Imean, I think even before the
way that he had to set up, one of the things I liked about
it was it does look like,if you're out in the wasteland and you're
trying to keep this thing working,you're gonna have to continually be building onto
(29:07):
it, and with the technology ofthat time, it would look more right
as a one Yeah that's right.Yeah, there you go. So,
I mean, like I thought itwas pretty it's pretty good, he said
that. The Yeah, the updatesare so he has the respos underneath the
now he went to he went withtwo people's videos. He went with my
(29:30):
video for kind of part of it. I think the only thing he really
used from mine to the end waslike the screen of the magnifying screen.
Yeah, but and then tell thegeneral premise like it got him excited and
he started kind of thinking in thedirection. But he wanted it to work
in a certain way, so youknow. Yeah, so he went with
the Pie Pie Pie game interface fromzap Wizard UH and UH for the computing
(29:56):
piece. Original Fallout and fall Outtwo could run through ofs box, though
it's a little a little slow.Bluetooth speaker through those adapter boards. And
he also that he also got offof Amazon and a hard wire speaker for
the Raspberry Pie to prevent connection issues. He still has some things he wants
(30:17):
to do, like some more weatheringand and things like that, improving the
knobs, like we said, Ilike the Nuka Cola knob, and then
replacing the touch screen you know stoppedbecause it stopped working, I guess initially,
and just to increase the compatibility withPrime os. So that's pretty cool,
(30:38):
I think, and so anyway,but yeah, that's some things that
I got submitted from other people inour community. The other thing I want
to mention is at the end ofthis week as well, in in conjunction
with the release of the new series, guys, you know what else Amazon
(30:59):
is is is going to have availableso anyone with Amazon Prime will be able
to use will be able to geta copy of not just the original Fallout,
which was what they originally gave.You know, I think that was
a month ago that they started givinga free download of and now it's Fallout
(31:22):
seventy six will be available to anyonewith the Prime account as of the day
of the release and or the originalrelease date. I can't remember, and
I think so well I could youbefore for the was it just yeah that's
true. But still for those ofyou out there, they're like, you
(31:47):
know it is it is? Yeah, pending, Yeah, bas I I
would. I actually I actually wentthrough the old end game. It's it's
a really cool game. I didn'tgo in there now with the people or
(32:07):
like before the wondering I don't playwith people, I A. I M
oh, yeah, yeah, therewas there was the Waste Endings update.
That's I think that's the one Igot in. Uh, it's more fun.
It's more fun that way. It'sbasically a Follout game with a lot
(32:29):
more stuff in it, and andyou can build your own camp, which
is fun and obviously yeah, butit's it's very instanced or even you know,
if you don't want to meet people, you want to meet people basically,
and so if there's like events youcan go on, like al you
go on Hotspot, you you canjoin the event when you're there, and
then basically everybody gets instance, lootand all that kind of stuff. It's
(32:52):
not that it's really cool. Imean, the story is great, there's
some fun things to be done inAppalachia and the I think a lot more
stuff came out now, But Ihad a good time playing it for for
a while. Yeah. Yeah,I I re recreated the real live version
of that. In order to doit, I actually go into the game
(33:15):
and then screencap a bunch of things. If you said the end of the
Fallout three video of the one whereI get eaten, uh, that's that's
not really the in game stuff.I went in game, and then I
went into the real life version ofthose replicated them. That's why it looks
like it's in the clots or rollingacross and stuff like that. Yeah,
so so we try to try tomake it the real life version of seventy
(33:37):
six. Yeah, but it wasfun though, you know, they still
have those video files for when Ineed them. But at the same time,
yeah, I thought it was fun. I think, well, maybe
we could hook up and play someseventy six together. That'd be pretty cool.
We should try and do that.Yeah, I all for that,
I said. I tried to play. I tried to play a couple of
(33:57):
the older games just recently because justto get things, and I found that
it's surprising, how I guess ithas been like a lot of years since
I actually played those individual games.Like you don't realize how long ago it
was until you get in there andyou're like, oh, pull out three.
I think, yeah, I didit, Oh my gosh. I
(34:20):
basically bought a side seen when Iwhen I saw the pit, but it
was too expensive, so so Ijust bought, uh, I think a
digital copy or something, and thensome something dude something, some dude just
sold it for like half the pricebecause he didn't like the game. I'm
like, I'll get the bubble aptand then I just everything. Well,
yeah, that was at the timewhen it was really struggling. But also
(34:44):
I mean, I mean I gotthe ndition because there was a scratch on
the on the little little books twentyyears with the full power armor helmet and
everything in it. Wow. Really, Oh, I always had the power
arm hand the Kansas bas someone thatcame with the Nuka Cola one or is
this the the one that was stinkyor the No, it's it's the actual,
(35:06):
actual, the silver gray one.Oh it is Okay, I went
to Nuka Cola one, but Iknow it smells. You have to do
stuff too, well, that's yeah. So we're gonna talk more about the
stuff that we've been doing lately.But at the same time, I want
to make sure that we touch baseon a what's going on this week,
plus the things that you guys havesent, because I keep getting messages.
(35:27):
I know, I've had a millionmessages on well when is this coming out?
People think sometimes that I forget,and it's not that I forgot,
it's just we haven't we haven't caughtup and recorded yet so any rate.
But but that's the plan and thisactually comes up. Yeah. Yeah,
So there you go. If you'veenjoyed this podcast and want more, to

In the meantime, this has beenyour geek Fix.
You were now listening to the podcastfor Geeks and the Stuff they Love,
where each week we'll talk about everythingfrom anime to movies, games and prop
collecting with the people who create andlove it. I'm Jeremy, I'm Vince,
I'm James, and Vice is yourgeek bits. We asked people about
how long ago month and a half, two months ago to make I guess
(00:22):
it was two months ago because itwas when James and I were on Okay,
you can see everything I'm looking athere, let's see. Let me
open up my other file. Herewe go and uh and you know,
and this first first portion is almostdedicated. Actually, all these portions are
dedicated to different people that are aremembers of our channel. Because I think
(00:44):
I know that he thinks it's funnybecause they always get wrong ceiling sluts.
There you go. I'm never gonnaget it that good actually followed through and
made a song. I should have. I should have done the version where
it actually showed the cover as well, but that I downloaded it instead.
But this is the song A StrangerThing. We are geeks on a mission
(01:10):
to explore new things and new intereststo Boldy show before noon. There you
go, got a little bit ofstar Trek thing, get a little bit
of do you know about about theNoon meme? The Noon meme? Yeah,
there was this guy called Noon andand e with his surname and uh.
(01:34):
And then they said basically when peoplemisspell no one, it's just Noon
nose. And then he was justfrustrated the people people said, I don't
know anything. I'm just a guynamed Noon. How come people keep saying
no, no, No, That'sthe whole thing about it. He actually
embraced it and and yeah, hewent on about I think even at a
(01:57):
website or something like that. Ohreally, yeah, because the other thing
that he said that I thought waspretty cool, which I want to have.
I want to print. In fact, I have a plan to print
this this week, all of them. Uh, because he knew that we
like the Tokyo. This is afree by the way file. Can you
(02:20):
guys see this? Yeah, it'sa map of Japan, detailed three D
map, and it actually has severalpieces to it. There's actually one of
these where it shows the animation orthe but basically you can switch it out
where is there is Oh there's avideo, look at that kind of cool
(02:46):
and so Toko Tower on there andeverything is really clear and pretty good.
I would love to do that andthen color it using the I have a
process. I've learned that you canoverlay for doing overlay coloring. That'd be
kind of cool and something like that, except it won't. It won't it
(03:08):
won't bend around it like that.But yeah, that's pretty cool. But
shooting raised like like like either orsomething that'd be cool. Yeah, I
han't thought of that. Another thingthat he had brought up was or that
he had recommended, was doing aform. Actually he's asked me multiple times
(03:29):
about this, so I thought,well, and I said, I'm gonna
bring it up to everyone. Uhwhat they would see? What they think?
Uh? You know, the ideaof being able to communicate with each
other as far as as far asmembers of the community and being able to
share things and files and stuff likethat for bills or giving recommendations or requesting
(03:52):
help with different things, and andI'm for that. I just don't know
what what or where people do CourtChannel and some forums are you know which
which I'm involved in one right nowfor the uh, I really hate my
hair in this picture. The I'mI'm involved in the discord right now.
(04:12):
Actually that that involves. Uh.In fact, Connor I think is the
one that set it up. I'mnot sure, but he's the one.
Uh. So that's right, you'reinto two James. Uh. And it's
good because we're able to get informationbefore this upcoming year. But uh but
at the same time, yeah,I don't know. Uh, we could
(04:33):
do we could do a discord.That'd be an easy way to share things.
Uh. Server wise, I alwaysI own still the the u r
L your geek fix dot com.I've thought about putting something there. I
haven't put anything there because I honestlyjust don't know what I want to put
there yet. Uh. But anyway, so, I mean we do have
(04:55):
options that way. These are thingsthat we do know about, but or
something on the slide. I dohave Patreon as well. Actually, okay,
there's two things that people ask meabout all the time that I will
admit with well we have a patreo. Well yeah, I wish that was
the No. The main questions arewhat can you what can you do with
(05:21):
the Patreon because I have the Patreonaccount. We have we have it in
the like even in this in thisvideo, if you look in said the
description on all of our podcast videos. It has like information for Vince,
has information for James, and thenit has a thing for me and for
our channel in it. And oneof those things is that we got Patreon
(05:41):
is on there. And then alsothere is a uh well this proves that
I'm not very involved in it.Uh you know twitch our twitch account which
I was talking to do and twitchby by India Bernardo and I have done
(06:03):
nothing with it, but I didhave the intention of doing some live stream
builds or something. I don't know. But anyway, but I mean they're
out there, they have been created. You'll see that they're there. But
if you go in and you're likehawking, there's nothing there, well it's
because I have done anything in there, and just we will ask the community
to come up with some tears,like what do they like? What do
(06:23):
they want? Yeah, yeah,I do feel I mean, I'll admit
this too. I sometimes I feellike it's it's a lot of work,
you know what I mean, LikeI don't want it to become a thing
where I feel like this is likebut yeah, so I don't know.
But at the same time, Imean, yeah, throughout your ideas,
(06:45):
things that you're thinking of also alongthe news wise, I mean we usually
do this first recording, we alljust kind of talk things that are kind
of updates and also related to thischannel, because I a lot of things
I'm talking about right now are basedoff of comments, and over this last
month, our channel's kind of blownup, and I've had over a thousand
(07:05):
comments, and a lot of thosecomments relate to things that I'd rather answer
once than keep writing the same answersover and over again. So here's some
of those answers. Fan Home.It's true I opened I opened three boxes
last November, which were the MillenniumFalcon, the Back to the Future DeLorean,
(07:29):
and then the Enterprise D from StarTrek. And at that point in
time too, I wasn't sure ifI wanted to do it exactly like I've
done it before, where every singlemonth I'm going through and nanting things.
And that's hard because at the sametime, one of those videos, particularly
brought you know, had over onehundred thousand views, and a lot of
(07:49):
new subscribers who subscribe with that purposelythey wanted to be able to watch those
kinds of videos. And what Idecided to do one because of the shipping
problem this going on, but twobecause I decided. I didn't know at
the time when I lasted these,I thought part of my contract with getting
those was that I had to doindividual videos every single time. I found
(08:11):
out actually it's only the first videothat they hold me to anything, which
allows me to not only a doit how I want after that, but
also I'm allowed to do third partythings, which I want to use a
lot of mods for these. I'vebeen planned to do that, and then
I've decided because I've now accumulated fourboxes for each I'm looking at them across
the room, and so I'm goingto just do four boxes at a time
(08:33):
in each video. So that meansmaybe there'd be a video each month,
and then it will cover a lotmore ground and kind of go for that
way. I also got the newmodel. In case you didn't see it,
I really am. Oh yeah,you can't see it yet, which
is another thing. So I haveto wait until fan hone gives me permission
until they watched the video before Ican release it. So I actually filmed
(08:54):
the video over a week ago.James and Vin's had access to it,
but yeah, special special access.But I'm really excited about it because,
in case you didn't know, oneof the things that they sent me is
is the is the Mustang from Goneto sixty sections Eleanor and the reason why
(09:16):
I got so excited about it,and I'm hoping that it is the beginning
of the beginning of something, especiallyif they're going to do all the other
cars, because they already had inEleanor that was a smaller version. So
I'm hoping that like the other onesthat were smaller versions, like the Back
to the Future car, like theEcto one, that they're going to now
be releasing them in one six scale. This one I just started building is
(09:37):
one six scale. I don't knowif you guys got to see the size
of it, but the front ofthe car was almost the width of my
shoulders, Like it was huge.And so I'm just really excited about something
I can actually put figures into becauseI don't have It seems like every car
I seem to get lately from whatevercompany and build or I put together or
I modify, they I can't fita figure side. And you're building a
(10:01):
new house in Germany with I know, right I am going to be selling
off a lot of stuff. Actuallythat's part of this little this next little
piece I'm going to get into too. But the same time, uh,
and giving away a bunch of stuff, but also yeah, the same thing.
(10:22):
That's that's for the only fans.H no I I I also got
a cutter that I did release avideo on recently. Uh. These things
kind of show up to at timeswhen I've already got a million other things
going on. But I released thatthat I was also excited about. I
(10:43):
wasn't so much. I mean,the cutter is great, and it is,
it's great, uh. I Iwas actually surprised at how great it
is, quite frankly, compared tothe ones that were much more money.
In fact, my first cutter Ipaid for and it was all it was
a lot of money. And thisthing does more than what my first one
did only a year from the yearbefore. But the point of it is
the thing I'm also really excited aboutand a major change I'm planning on doing
(11:07):
on this channel, and I'm goingto encourage whoever else other it does similar
things. Is when I first startedthis channel, I my whole point was
I want to make things that peoplewould realistically be able to make. Because
I always got frustrated with the factthat I would watch these videos and they'd
have these tools and it's like,well that's nice and all, but I
don't have that. It's like alot of Adam Savage's videos. I don't
go, yeah, yeah, it'slike sure, I mean I can't do
(11:33):
that right, and and you know, and I'm always it always bugs me
when people do write me and they'relike, well, even even with those
efforts of trying to wait until thingsbecame more accessible, so I didn't do
three D printing for the first year. I think it was uh, you
know, because people were like,I don't have a three D printer.
I don't know where I can getone. Well, not everybody really has.
(11:54):
I think either has access or youcan get a nice I was surprised
to say, I have actually twothree D printers I got for free,
not not not like given to me, because I mean, like that's just
how it works. Like you goon the site and I got it for
free, and they're they're they're cheap, but they and they're slow, but
(12:16):
they get the job done and theydid it actually a pretty good job.
So I do with these kinds ofthings, you know, like like this
is all the tools I have,Like, yeah, that's pretty good,
Like yeah, I need I needthat stuff. Yeah yeah, this is
(12:37):
what you for for your like yeahyeah modele nippers like this this is what?
Oh is that you? Oh yeahthat's pretty cool. Yeah hey,
(12:58):
I I mean the thing to mewas the reason why I got excited about
that video and also about about allthis is that I think all the tools,
even even the vinyl cutters, Iwouldn't recommend getting a cricket. I
do like my cricket, but Igot it before they started putting a subscription
on it. And you basically,oh they did period, I don't know
(13:20):
they didn't. No, no,they I have a cretty joint that the
small one and you can just doit. They went back on that.
When did you? But but didyou get it before they went back on
that? Yeah? Yeah, Sothat's that's the thing. So anyone you
and I were grandfather did in anyonethat buys it new you're limited on how
many cuts you get really unless youpay for it. Yeah. Yeah,
(13:43):
I thought they I thought they stoppedthem because of the backlash. Nope,
okay, now ye still sturing French. I don't know, I mean if
they did and then I apologized cricket, but quite frankly. Yeah. But
at the same time, there's Imean, there's plenty that are out there
that I looked at even recently,super cheap. I mean the tools.
(14:05):
Now, it's not a thing whereyou have to go someplace or spend you
know, a large amount of moneyto do making anymore. I mean,
I use so, yeah, that'sthat's a pretty good way to go or
just your toenails does okay? Wewe uh yeah, and we and we
are getting a little bit of also, I will say, like fan Home
(14:28):
fan Home recently, I'll tell youguys in advance, I got paid one
hundred dollars for opening up the firstbox. Spend Yeah, I know,
right, Yeah, it's a littlebit of money. I mean it's not
yeah, but you know, atthe same time, it's yeah, it's
(14:50):
uh what first takes me the mostof that. Phan Home doesn't support new
subscriptions for the Ecto one. There'sa reason for that, the same reason
why I can't why they're not sendingit to me. Yeah, because they're
still in the in the and thecontainer is going through Africa. I guess,
well, and they're and they're revampingit. So it's gonna be a
(15:16):
new model for who anyone that getsit from here out. Yeah, it's
me haunted. That's it. Theygot this lady that like still sacrificing children
to make it, just to makeit, make it good. That's right.
(15:37):
Yeah. So I mean there there'sthat piece. The other thing I
want to mention is that we arewe do. I mean I've mentioned this
before. We do all these recordingsall at once, like four to five
at a time, so you know, this week you've got the new you
know, the Fallout series is comingout. No, I wasn't one of
(15:58):
the people. It was like enough, although somebody that wants that's going to
come on a show did get ago Uh she she's she's just recently admitted
to that because they were they wereactually on an embargo. They weren't allowed
to share the fact that before theysent them to the Philly in Texas,
they sent them to California to watchthe movie or watch the first two episodes,
(16:18):
and everybody that's scene a lot ofbig time you know YouTubers I've watched
for years related to Fallout all saidthat they were surprised at how much they
tried to stick to the detail andstick to the lore and everything else and
anything. That's always like they feellike you're gonna work out. Yeah,
well yeah, yeah, this iswhat you're gonna write you. They're very
(16:40):
excited about it, actually, andso and they've all ordered, you know,
they're they're all their props and thingslike that that they want to get
because they've seen the show. NowI've got my general issue slippers. Yeah,
are you right? They look good? How much to say they are?
Oh, they were very expensive,but they got them on a discount.
I mean they're forty fifty bucks orsomething if you buy them like at
(17:02):
retail. That's not too bad forslippers, though, I mean not by
the way, just in case,you know. I mean, at the
same time, that's that's not tootoo bad. I mean there's definitely Yeah,
that's not too bad for slippers.I know it sounds like a lot,
but opening books, it looks itlooks like TJ Max level. I
(17:26):
was at TJ Max the other daythat they had them for thirty that looked
kind of like that. So thatdoesn't not too out of control. Although
that's on discount though, right,that was after your discos. Yeah.
Sometimes sometimes that's the store does alittle discount and they go for ten bucks
or fifteen bucks or something. Ohwell yeah, yeah. Sometimes. You
know what I miss is is thethe follow up stuff at like I said
(17:48):
before, a game stop. Yeah, you go to game stop and they
just figure things out for cheap.Oh yeah, very nice. I got
that when I was in America.Oh did you indeed the Yeah, I
mean we won't be able to.So we're we're gonna do three episodes or
four episodes. People are gonna watchand they're gonna be like, how come
(18:11):
not he's bringing up or he's talkedabout reviewing you know how the Fallowout series
was. I think the reason isbecause we haven't seen it. So I
mean, yeah, so just nowwe can do with the edit. I
know it was great. Well Ican't I can't share. I mean,
(18:37):
these guys know also because I don'twant to jinx it. Uh before the
next time that we'll sit down andmeet, all have been involved in something
else in relation to to all thisstuff. If you reach two thousand,
that's that's the idea. You getme to that number. Oh we do,
okay, Yeah, But at thesame time, I want to joke
(19:00):
up ahead but at the same time, so so all that I can say
is that it it is related toto the pit Boy that we reviewed.
I can't tell you what I knownow I saw what's funny enough is yeah,
not that pit Boy. But stillbut I will say. The only
things I'll say is this one.If you got if you put in your
(19:22):
pre order for the pit Boy,then man, there's too much news to
cover. Every time I start talking, I'm like, oh, I should
mention that too, should Well that'sright, yeah, if if if you
haven't seen our shorts about it.We got to name the newest the new
pit Boy. Literally, the storyis pretty short and sweet. After we
(19:45):
spent so long, uh talking toChris, I think it was even like
two to three. I might evenbeen a no, it was. It
was a few days later. Istarted to do editing, but I had
to go back to Vegas. SoI also told Chris, you know,
I'm not gonna be able to finishthis until you get back from Vegas,
so I'll just do some shorts.So we released some shorts, and I'm
releasing the shorts and I'm like,wait a minute, what is this called
(20:07):
like, all the pit boys havenames, you know, we know,
we know, we know the differencebetween every pit boy that's ever been and
right, this one's called Bob,so you can sell the same both ways.
But at the same time, I'mlike, yeah, what's the name
of this? So I texted,I sent Chris to text and said,
hey, you know, by theway, what is the name of this?
(20:29):
And if they haven't named yet,you know, here's a couple of
names I think would be good,and here's why. And then he's like,
yeah, I don't know either.Now they think about it, you
know, and it'd been months thatthey had been working with them by that
point. He's like, I don'tknow either. He's like, here's some
names I think, you know whichI actually liked. I liked his names
and your name Vince, not justyour name Vince, but the Vince came
(20:49):
up with the pit boy. Yeah, the Vince Boy, the pit boy
Prime, which was on the nose, was what a lot of people wrote
me in the comments. That's aboutthe fact that they didn't spend that much
effort on the series. If theydidn't even grow up with a name for
their pit I think for the seriesitself. I think it was because they
(21:11):
decided to go general and they justcalled it the pit Boy. Now,
remember this is the series one,and uh there's a lot of stuff from
this show. From what I've heardfrom from as far as talkers, there's
that this is gonna be related tothe upcoming games. So uh so that
(21:33):
makes so we needed something that hada name in it. There you go.
But at the same time, soso yeah, so we throw out
some names. One of the onesthat Chris came up with was the pit
Boy thirty five hundred or no,yeah, was that in three hundred?
Yeah? And then the pit Boythree thousand version of four point one or
(22:00):
something I can't remember, but anyrate. And then and then he sent
it off to Amazon to Drew isthe guy. I don't know if I'm
supposed to share that guy. He'stied into the guy in charge of everything
production wise, for production. Andhe came back and he said that the
(22:22):
decision was made the Amazon was officiallyaccepting the name of the Boy three thousand,
right, that's right, yeah,yeah, yeah, but we did
get The best part is actually thispart is funny. So I I,
uh, when when he sent meback and he told me that the news.
(22:45):
I immediately wrote back to Chris andI'm like, hey, so does
this mean so? I said,uh, oh, here it is.
Oh man, we also got toname this the new space ship called Spaceship
for the Starfild. He said,oh, so, I wrote him and
(23:08):
it was just like, so,so that means that they did accept they
accepted the name that I submitted.Then I was like, that that's the
one I submitted. I said,so does that mean, like, is
that it or did I just happenedto guess it? And he said no,
that was you know, they acceptedyours. And I said, so
can I tell people that? Andhe's His response was oh sure, can
champ so there But anyway, sothat's an involvement in Fallout. Yeah,
(23:33):
so it fall Out. It's goingto be like created director Jeremy from now.
There's some things I now think about. I haven't told you guys everything,
so and at the same time,I'm still going to speak in code.
So if you bought pre bot yourpit Boy three thousand, mark five,
which is important for the packaging,okay, then you're gonna be pleasantly
(23:57):
surprised because it's going to do alot of things that we never discussed and
and some of which was even Ithink influenced by some of the comments.
But but I will just say thatit is everything that you could possibly want.
So oh yeah, it can freezetime. Oh yeah, it has
(24:19):
a bats mode I could use.Yeah, for those that are out there
they're making being critical. I thinkit's gonna be hilarious though, because there's
a lot of people that are tryingto just be punky about it and they're
like, this is gonna be apiece of crap and stuff, and then
by the time they actually see itand everybody has showing theirs off, Uh,
(24:40):
they won't be able to get it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
that's right. They won't get anything. But can we get a cameo in
there? Then if it's everything wehave on the pit boy itself or in
the end in the show, yeah, we will do it. Audio.
(25:00):
Maybe we keep pushing on. Ithink if they had a moment in the
show where like the terminal cup comesup and like our names were in like
some sort of text, and that'dbe cool. That'd be cool. Yeah,
probably never gonna happen, but itwould be cool just to be have
some more involvement. If we canget our views up and now we will,
(25:21):
maybe we'll get invited. But onthe flip side, the other piece
I'm going to tell you is Iam going to be seeing there's five now
there's four prototypes and a fully workingversion that Chris has. I'm going to
have my hands on them next montharound the twelfth of May and uh and
(25:44):
in California, and that's all themore that I can tell you about it.
It will be very exciting. Iwill say this too, is that
when I started this channel, Ihad a goal in mind that was unrealistic,
and I'm basically going to be achievingthat goal next month. At least
that's the plan. So any rate, again, don't want to jinx it.
But at the same time, sowhat else is it in California?
(26:04):
I don't know he actually said itin the interview, But at the same
time, I'm not going to opellyannounce it. But yeah, yeah,
very exciting, so pretty pretty excitingstuff. But you speaking of pit boys,
Ermie Jermy, you should get apit boy. That's it. I'm
going to edit that part out.I will share some video with you here
(26:29):
because there is something speaking of workingpit boys. All right. So also
this last month, an individual bythe name of John Baird. I got
to double check what his the nameof his channel is he gives aware this.
His his name on YouTube is poptop eighty nine. And he released
(26:51):
a video this last month called IBuilt a Working pit Boy his project log
and he goes through and shows howhe how he did that and kind of
what his final His final version kindof looked like here's can you guys see
the screen? Yeah? Wow?So so he did this with a raspberry
(27:12):
pie. It's well, actually sorry, it's technically but he did this with
Obviously there's a bit of wiring thatyou can see there, which was my
initial criticism that have been that bro. But it it has a few wires.
(27:37):
But the same time, all ofhis knobs work, and the buttons
work on the front and so butand he had to add a couple of
buttons. I think in order tothe downside to the pit Boy two thousands,
it doesn't have enough knobs to reallyjustify how things work, which Nate
even told me, He's like,yeah, I mean, obviously it's not
(28:00):
really designed to do everything. Itdoes this other thing. You turn the
knob and it does like eighty billionthings, and it's like, how did
you get that narrow to go overthere in the in the game? But
at the same time, yeah,he designed this and uh and yeah,
there had to be a lot ofexternal stuff initially, but now he sent
me so he sent me some updatedthings. Let me see if I can
(28:23):
click through these or not. He'she's able to control volume and everything that's
coming in. He has the screenstuff. But as you can see from
the final version, you see thathe's cleaned up all that wiring, so
I don't know where it all went, but he said, you know,
he also found it was getting caughton things and pulling apart and stuff,
(28:45):
so he did clean that up.And the knob on the side, right,
Yeah, isn't that cool? Imean, I think even before the
way that he had to set up, one of the things I liked about
it was it does look like,if you're out in the wasteland and you're
trying to keep this thing working,you're gonna have to continually be building onto
(29:07):
it, and with the technology ofthat time, it would look more right
as a one Yeah that's right.Yeah, there you go. So,
I mean, like I thought itwas pretty it's pretty good, he said
that. The Yeah, the updatesare so he has the respos underneath the
now he went to he went withtwo people's videos. He went with my
(29:30):
video for kind of part of it. I think the only thing he really
used from mine to the end waslike the screen of the magnifying screen.
Yeah, but and then tell thegeneral premise like it got him excited and
he started kind of thinking in thedirection. But he wanted it to work
in a certain way, so youknow. Yeah, so he went with
the Pie Pie Pie game interface fromzap Wizard UH and UH for the computing
(29:56):
piece. Original Fallout and fall Outtwo could run through ofs box, though
it's a little a little slow.Bluetooth speaker through those adapter boards. And
he also that he also got offof Amazon and a hard wire speaker for
the Raspberry Pie to prevent connection issues. He still has some things he wants
(30:17):
to do, like some more weatheringand and things like that, improving the
knobs, like we said, Ilike the Nuka Cola knob, and then
replacing the touch screen you know stoppedbecause it stopped working, I guess initially,
and just to increase the compatibility withPrime os. So that's pretty cool,
(30:38):
I think, and so anyway,but yeah, that's some things that
I got submitted from other people inour community. The other thing I want
to mention is at the end ofthis week as well, in in conjunction
with the release of the new series, guys, you know what else Amazon
(30:59):
is is is going to have availableso anyone with Amazon Prime will be able
to use will be able to geta copy of not just the original Fallout,
which was what they originally gave.You know, I think that was
a month ago that they started givinga free download of and now it's Fallout
(31:22):
seventy six will be available to anyonewith the Prime account as of the day
of the release and or the originalrelease date. I can't remember, and
I think so well I could youbefore for the was it just yeah that's
true. But still for those ofyou out there, they're like, you
(31:47):
know it is it is? Yeah, pending, Yeah, bas I I
would. I actually I actually wentthrough the old end game. It's it's
a really cool game. I didn'tgo in there now with the people or
(32:07):
like before the wondering I don't playwith people, I A. I M
oh, yeah, yeah, therewas there was the Waste Endings update.
That's I think that's the one Igot in. Uh, it's more fun.
It's more fun that way. It'sbasically a Follout game with a lot
(32:29):
more stuff in it, and andyou can build your own camp, which
is fun and obviously yeah, butit's it's very instanced or even you know,
if you don't want to meet people, you want to meet people basically,
and so if there's like events youcan go on, like al you
go on Hotspot, you you canjoin the event when you're there, and
then basically everybody gets instance, lootand all that kind of stuff. It's
(32:52):
not that it's really cool. Imean, the story is great, there's
some fun things to be done inAppalachia and the I think a lot more
stuff came out now, But Ihad a good time playing it for for
a while. Yeah. Yeah,I I re recreated the real live version
of that. In order to doit, I actually go into the game
(33:15):
and then screencap a bunch of things. If you said the end of the
Fallout three video of the one whereI get eaten, uh, that's that's
not really the in game stuff.I went in game, and then I
went into the real life version ofthose replicated them. That's why it looks
like it's in the clots or rollingacross and stuff like that. Yeah,
so so we try to try tomake it the real life version of seventy
(33:37):
six. Yeah, but it wasfun though, you know, they still
have those video files for when Ineed them. But at the same time,
yeah, I thought it was fun. I think, well, maybe
we could hook up and play someseventy six together. That'd be pretty cool.
We should try and do that.Yeah, I all for that,
I said. I tried to play. I tried to play a couple of
(33:57):
the older games just recently because justto get things, and I found that
it's surprising, how I guess ithas been like a lot of years since
I actually played those individual games.Like you don't realize how long ago it
was until you get in there andyou're like, oh, pull out three.
I think, yeah, I didit, Oh my gosh. I
(34:20):
basically bought a side seen when Iwhen I saw the pit, but it
was too expensive, so so Ijust bought, uh, I think a
digital copy or something, and thensome something dude something, some dude just
sold it for like half the pricebecause he didn't like the game. I'm
like, I'll get the bubble aptand then I just everything. Well,
yeah, that was at the timewhen it was really struggling. But also
(34:44):
I mean, I mean I gotthe ndition because there was a scratch on
the on the little little books twentyyears with the full power armor helmet and
everything in it. Wow. Really, Oh, I always had the power
arm hand the Kansas bas someone thatcame with the Nuka Cola one or is
this the the one that was stinkyor the No, it's it's the actual,
(35:06):
actual, the silver gray one.Oh it is Okay, I went
to Nuka Cola one, but Iknow it smells. You have to do
stuff too, well, that's yeah. So we're gonna talk more about the
stuff that we've been doing lately.But at the same time, I want
to make sure that we touch baseon a what's going on this week,
plus the things that you guys havesent, because I keep getting messages.
(35:27):
I know, I've had a millionmessages on well when is this coming out?
