Speaker 1 (00:01):
So you can hear me.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Well, I thought it was weird too because it was
like literally no audio, Like I couldn't even really hear myself.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Well, no, I'll give you an indication. Yeah, mm hmmmm
mm hmmm.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
What Oh pumpkin holes.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Love me a good pumpkin hole, I bet you do.
Speaking of pumpkin holes, Chick fil A over by best
Buy they have fall uh window decoration, some like painted
on like pumpkins and stuff. Every pumpkin looks like it
(00:52):
has a butt. It has just two cheeks.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
That's uh Fredian thing for you or a freighting thing.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
For it is straight up butts. Like there's no like.
I don't know why they allow this, but yeah, it's
if someone is playing a joke on them. There's no way, hey,
because pumpkins don't look like that.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
They probably don't.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
They don't have butts.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I'm just saying that I can see where a very
stylized pumpkin could look like a butt.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Get what you're saying, Okay, I'm just.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah, butts, butts, Joe, you ever thought?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Why did? Is there a way to explain the recasting
of Jennifer in the Back to Future movies?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Where was she recast? What do you mean? Wait, so
you mean like the rumor that she was originally like
like Eric Stoltz.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
No, first off, Eric Stultz was not Jennifer. Eric Sultz
was was Marty? No?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I realized that I'm saying that that he was recast.
But was she recast at at some point? So that's
what I'm saying, was she?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
There? Was there an original actress.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
That well the first the Jennifer in the first movie
is out the Jennifer from the second and third movie.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Okay, that's it. I didn't realize it's.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
A different actress. You didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I didn't realize.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Now, really, b blah blah. So in the Well was
a short film. Oh, that's that weird thing they did.
(03:05):
Come on, there we go early in the second monitor
for my computer. Muh, there we go.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Man, this computer just cannot handle anything anymore. I clicked
on IMDb.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
And it was just like, uh.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Uh no, no application error, can't can't load.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It can't load, can't load.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Can't load IMDb.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So I can't look at the cast from that maybe Wikipedia.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So Claudia Wells played Jennifer Parker in the first film,
and then Elizabeth Shoe was in the second and third film. Okay,
so I don't know why I thought of this the
other day, but so basically the whole scene is at
(04:11):
the end of the first Back to the Future, Jennifer
and Marty are sitting on the front porch and Doc
pulls up in the Dolorean and he says, your future
is in danger, blah blah blah. Right, and then like
(04:33):
that's when you see the car fly. Well, when you
go to the second movie and they redo that shot,
it's a different actress. And I was thinking about this.
I was like, uh, because everyone's like, oh, yeah, blah
blah blah. You know, I don't want to say plot hole,
but I'm pretty sure people have said that before. It's like,
(04:53):
it's not a plot hole, it's the fact the recast her.
But and instead of keeping that same scene for the
second movie that has reshot it with a different actress,
Elizabeth Shoe, I was like, I wonder if you could
just be like, hey, uh, what if the events of
(05:15):
two in or of part three change the lineage of Jennifer.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I suppose butterfly effect could.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Be possible because when you think about it, when Doc
goes Doc goes back in time, right, he like obviously
established himself as the blacksmith and whatever right he meets
what is her? Kara Clara Clara, Clara Clara. That's what
(05:48):
it was. And obviously things unfold differently because you know,
she disappears from time. What if that caused a butterfly
effect to make the parents of Jennifer slightly different.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I would say it's a good theory, but.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The events of that are not don't affect anything until
they happen. It's one of those weird things that the
events of the third movie seemingly don't have an effect
until the third movie happens.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, but what I'm saying, though, is the events that
led up to two and three, well, ultimately the events
in three could have made an effect, right, could have
changed somehow, like when Clara disappears, maybe a different teacher
comes in or something and that changes who meets who
(06:47):
down the line.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Again.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Because the specific thing that I remember from three, even
Marty explains that the reason why they call.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
The the.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Goal the uh what they call that like the basically
where the train went off, Uh, Clara was supposed to
die in that in that scene, and that's why they
the the students called, like the way something about the
teacher dying there that blah blah blah blah. When she
gets saved, that changes the events of the future. So
(07:20):
it's no longer that that golf for or whatever it
was I can't remember, is referred to as you know,
the teacher dying off of there. So the fact that
he can remember that means that nothing had changed there
until that.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Point, That's what I'm saying. But when he comes back,
wouldn't that also could cause an effect, But.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I'm just saying that wouldn't have that by this by
this timeline, it more than likely doesn't affect anything until
it happens type of thing in three.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Well, I guess yeah, because it would have happened happened
in one.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You would all you'd have to have assumed that it
would that everything. That's the problem with this problem with
the time travel stuff in any of these movies is
that none of the time travel affects anything until it
affects something type of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, I thought that'd be a clever way to explain
why the different actors in there, But you're right, it
wouldn't be. It would affect it in one, not in two. Yeah, huh, okay,
maybe not that actually is the fun Actually, if anything.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You could and I would have to probably think of
this more because technically the events of part of the
events of two take place in a separate timeline type.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Thing, an altered timeline because because of Grandpa Biff.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Right, you could make the argument that.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Because of something that happened site like differently in because
obviously there is a change in from the where we
started at the beginning of one to where we finish
at the beginning of one. There is there is an
obvious change because George McFly is no longer a loser.
He's actually a successful right, well, not successful, but he
(09:23):
will be a successful writer. Obviously it's his first book
that that he has finished writing by writing by the
end of the first movie, but he seems more successful
towards the beginning of it as well.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Yeah, he's already that that already right there, we have
a switch enough that something could have Butterfly effected into
the change itself from from the beginning of one to
the end of one.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
So maybe if you cut Oh no, so they're in there,
but they're in the car race.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
We just don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
We don't know Jennifer's lineage, so we don't know, Like
her family could definitely be a family that has just
existed in.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
The Hillsdale area for a long time.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Maybe had you know, had gone to the same high
school or whatever as these characters and something had changed
in there, Yes, that could have affected things.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah what have had have it happened?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
But everything would have to have happened in.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
One yeah hmm, Okay, whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Has read it been feeding you back to the future
subreddit as well.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
No, Reddit has been sending me random shit that I
don't care about.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh yeah, I mean that's that's Reddit as well. It's
just for some reason. For the past week or so,
I've been getting back to the future r slash Back
to the Future, our slash Ghostbusters.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I'm trying to get you, Joe, come to us, Joe.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I mean I already click on that stuff anyway because
I'm like, oh, it look good Ghostbuster stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Cool. That's how Reddit gets me.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's the problem with redd It is like it'll show
me something and I never look at like what subreddited
is on. So I'll be like what the fuck is this,
and I'll click on it and then it's just like, oh,
you clicked on it, therefore you want to see more
of this.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It's like I was just.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
More curious what this is, and then I look at
what subreddit.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I'm in, like, oh okay, it sounds like I subscribed
to this.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I literally only subscribed like one or two things.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I don't help me in the I actually subscribe to you,
tell you the truth.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I'm trying to think of anything else weird wise, like
our slash cast Iron. Never even search for cast iron
stuff on there. It's just like our slash cast Iron.
It's like, you know that we bought new cast iron stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
It's watching I hope not your FBI agent's feeding him
information works.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I can't wait for the day that because I finally
got an invite to the new dig and I've been.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Been scrolling through that.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's very early stages, so there's content there and a
bit of interaction with stuff. I've been trying to go
through and be a little bit more active of like
liking stuff and just trying to find articles on there
and whatnot. But obviously it doesn't have as much of
a breath of stuff as a reddit does.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
But again, like from what I understand, what Kevin Rose
and alex who.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Alexei Alexi I think his actually name is Who's the
actual one of the founders of Reddit, are you know?
Restarting dig They want to make it more human, want
to make it more person driven, and I can't wait
to get more into that. Hope believe that really takes
off rather than sticking with Reddit.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
And I'm really like so anti other social media stuff
right now.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
And I have been for a long time.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, and this isn't I feel like this ends up
being like old man yelled at cloud type stuff. But
it's like, I just have I don't want to be
the product anymore with any of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I'm so tired of of all.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
These companies selling my data and whatnot, and yet prices
still go up on things.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Well, they got to pay for your data, buddy, They
get paid for my data.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That's the way they can feed.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Me ads, no the other people. So people buying your
data have to make money, so they have to charge
you more so they can then buy your data to
send you ads to get you to come buy.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Very much pretty much. So I'm just getting tired of that.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
And it's just yeah, it's funny because one of one
of the guys that I work with got hired as
an auto tech at one of the stores and he was,
you know, saying goodbye to everybody. He was like, oh man,
you got what's your socials? And I was like, none, none, none,
(14:27):
And I'm happy about it because that stuff is just accessible.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I ain't got one of them.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I think got one of those. I mean, technically, I
do have one for everything. I do have a Facebook account.
I do have a Twitter account or.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
X or whatever you want to freaking call.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I do have, you know, a meta account or Instagram account.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I don't have Snapchat unless it's tied into something else.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Use any of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
And honestly, I just need to go through and delete
all that stuff and just be done with that. It's
it's it's not healthy for anybody at all.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That's the thing. And that's why, like, uh, we can
get into this.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
One of the main topics that actually came out this
past week, which is the valve stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Frame, the was it the Steam Steam Cube? Is that
what they called it. I keep seeing people call.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
It the gate Cube, the game CBS the one I
keep hearing.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
So now I can now.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I just keep thinking of it as the Gate Cube,
and it's just like, all right, that's that's just what
I think of it as now.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
And then the Steam Controller, which is which is technically
the Steam Controller.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Two but three right, No, two, there's.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Never been a third one.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
There was they they licensed out to Hoary Artie to
make a Steam controller, but it was never official third.
First party was a third.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Party, the third version.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Of it, No second, second.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Second by them by them, but.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Like I said, they did allow I think it was
Hoary made a controller with a Steam.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Button on it.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
What does that launch Steam?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Ostensibly something like that, or when you're in a game, maybe.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Just hit it and access like a Steam menu of
some sort menu or like again brings you back to
Steam big screen mode or something like that. Yeah, but anyway, Yeah,
like that was super exciting. I don't have any respects
in front of me.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I know.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
It's the very like the VR headset itself is very
average for what you would expect on because it's going
up against the Oculus Quest yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Series of things.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I don't even know if it has like a direct
direct specs to compete with, like the Quest three, which
is the newest quest out there.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I know it lacks some features that the Quest three has.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That people are complaining about, but I don't understand because
Valve never Valve didn't advertise it in that way because
people were complaining that they were interested in in the
steam the new frame, but it doesn't have color outward
facing cameras on it, so they don't they don't want it,
(17:21):
and what what what VR headset in twenty twenty five
doesn't come with color outfacing cameras and people are other
people on those those RDIT threats have literally been like
they never advertised it as an AR stuff. Yeah, advertised
it as just straight VR.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, like I don't I don't care about AR, like
I don't want to see outside the goggles.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Yeah, like you.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Can see you can switch over to like a grayscale
you know thing. And they did highlight that it has
that it does IR tracking, so it has IR you know,
the cameras are IR and they do have infrared.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
LEDs on it, so they can't do low light tracking.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
But they never said like, oh and look, you can
play AR games on it. They never said that, So
it's like, stop complaining about something that they didn't even
I get it. It's not for you because you do
AR gaming. They didn't say it was AR that was
an AR gaming device. It's a VR gaming device that
is more of like strapping a Steam deck to your
face type thing, and that's that's it. And honestly, that's
(18:28):
kind of what I like. I know, we have the
Oculus Quest two and I had played a little bit
of Half Life Alex in it, and I really do
want to go back.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
And finish that game.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
But again, it's it's attached to Facebook and I fucking
hate that and I don't want ont that, like it
is another account that I have, it's a meta account,
and it's like, don't want to be tied to anything
Mark Zuckerberg, anything, period.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
And so they announced this and I'm like, this is
kind of what I would want. It has the ability
to play games.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
And do.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I guess it really is just play games right now.
I was thinking, I was trying to think if they
if they said it would like you would like watch
videos or anything, and I don't recall them saying that,
but I don't.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I think it's.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Probably a matter of time before they get you can
do well. No, they mentioned that you could sideload handraid
apps on there because it is based off of LAITNX,
So it'd be interesting to see how easy it is
to be like, oh, I could just put you know,
I don't think you could just put Netflix on it
because of all the security stuff that has to go
along with it, but it would be interesting if they did,
(19:43):
you know, at least start out with gaming stuff and
then go, hey, you could also put on these other
apps that you can watch shows and whatnot on but
just for being a able to play wireless because it
(20:03):
comes with like a six gigger herd little dongle that
directly connects to the headset.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
And you plug just into your computer.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And it does a bunch of other fancy stuff with
what they call phobiated streaming, so basically only rendering well,
only streaming in high quality what you're.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Looking at, yeah, versus the rest of the screen. Is
really cool.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
But this is exactly the thing that I want because
and it's also repaarable. They've already announced that the hey,
you know, with a lot of this, with all this stuff,
we're still in partnership with I fix it, so you
can just replace.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Stuff on it.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So this is the thing that I've been kind of
waiting for and would more likely buy just a matter
of price. They did say they didn't announce any price
of any of this stuff, even the gay Cube or
the Steam Controller. They did say for the frame that
they are aiming for less expensive than the valve index.
(21:10):
The valve index is one thousand dollars right now, so
less than a thousand dollars. I just don't know what
price it would be where it becomes an instant buy
versus a maybe save up some money then buy it eventually,
(21:31):
because I don't even know how much is a quest three.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
That's a great question here, because.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
That's the thing is like, I'd have to say that
they have to be aiming for.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Around that price.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
So for a five to twelve gig model, it says
five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, and I can see this thing if you get
the one twenty eight or no, well three dollars it's
on sale.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Sorry, yeah, uh, I couldn't see it going for that
little price.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
The three three hundred.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Definitely five hundred, Probably not either because Meta is still
like probably subsidizing a lot of that hardware with game
purchases and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
And I know that.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Obviously, Steam makes thirty percent on all game purchases, but.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I don't see them subsidizing any of their hardware.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
With that, so it probably will be somewhere around the
six to seven hundred dollars range. Like what was the
Steam deck when it came out? That Steam deck was
is some five six hundred dollars, wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I want to say it was closer to like eight hundred,
wasn't it.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
I thought, Oh, that's my.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Deck's to be different? Search sir, Well, that was.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
A stream deep on launch, So.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Sixty four gigabyte was four hundred dollars, two fifty six
was five twenty nine, and a five twelve was six
forty nine. So I could see it being and I
don't remember what storage they said would be available in it.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Five twelve to two terabytes of leaves what they said, damn, So.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I could see it starting at around the six forty
nine mark. That seems relatively reasonable for that to me.
It's just a matter of like, is that an instant
purchase of Like, damn, that's really cool. That's what I want,
you know. Wireless VR gaming head sat with the ability
(23:55):
to plug in, with the ability to just repair it
without having to connect it to any service that I like.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
It might be.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, so I was excited about that, excited about the
controller too, looked really cool, something that might be worth
a purchase. I do have an xboxy lead to controller
hooked up right now to play those types of games
that need it, Like I'm playing Stray right now, and.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
It's a lot better on controller than it is with
a mouse and keyboard.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
But I don't know if that's like an instant purchase
type thing, especially just to see how much it costs.
That's another thing of like what was the cost of
the original Steam controller when that came out.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
That was a while ago. The reason I was thinking
there was three of them is the original one before
it came out as a public one, was one that
had that weird extra mouse thing in the middle they
got rid of. So the original design of the Steam
controller had the two touch areas, but in the middle
(25:07):
had an extra one that could act like one of
those like like the you know, the stupid little dongle
mouse thingy on laptops. It had one of those, and
I guess they I was looking at it. I guess
I got rid of that when it went to production model.
So that's why I was thinking there was three versions,
because I could have swore there was a different variation
of it, But that's because it was a pre production one.
That because I used it at E three right before
(25:33):
they like before wait, actually like two years before they
launched it, when they first announced that they were working
on hardware, and I remember that one and it looks
almost exactly the same, but in the middle where it
added the buttons, it had that little like mouse thing
you could use. So I was thinking that was a
(25:54):
different version, but that I think that was I was
looking up and that was a production version that was
not the final variation that came out. That's why I
thought it was a third one, because I was like,
I remember there being a different version, because I never
got one. We were gonna get one, and then I
kept hearing such bad things about that the touch interface,
(26:16):
and I was like, I don't want that. I want
regular analog sticks and that would be nice, but I'm
obviously back like that would be super hard to do
on a controller back then. Obviously they did it now
because it has the same interface that the Steam Deck
has with those touch pads. Or whatever those are. Actually
they have a name for him, but yeah, so I remember.
(26:40):
And then I a friend of actually you know, you know,
you know Dan Bagellen, he got one and I was
using it. I was like, this is not bad, but
like it's weird because you have to move your thumbs
so much for like fast motion. I just like, I
don't like this at all.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, and ultimately something like that with those dedicated track
pads would be more beneficial to other some games than others.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I couldn't see trying.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
To play like a first person shooter with that type
of inner interaction on it. Definitely a choice to controller
to gate game pad would be better for first persion shooters.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yep. I've always wanted to try one.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I even thought about buying a one off of like
offer Up or something like that, but never could pull
the trigger because people are still holding on to like,
oh it's like, you know, worth a bunch of money.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
It's like, yeah, not really is it, though?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Nah?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
You know not everything is a collector's iter these days.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Come on, Yeah, trust me, I see people trying to
do stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah, so never pulled the trigger on it.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I have an unopen happy meal from nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Gross, why were you holding onto.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
That first off?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Ill?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Right?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh, that's the other one too. I guess someone already found.
I guess there's not want to cut you off, but
about the Steam machine or the Gabe Cube. So they're
talking about how Steam is gonna let you three D
print the front cover that comes on and off. So someone,
I guess there's a developer kit already out that has it.
(28:24):
So someone went through and they made a Companion Cube
cover D brand? Was it D brand?
Speaker 3 (28:30):
The D brand did it?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Then?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I think it's up for pre order.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
And then someone went further and made a whole case
for it, so the whole case you can put it
in it? Oh, is it D brand that did it?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Let me see if a whole I say they made.
But they had a mock up that I saw for
a full case replacement. Might it might have been or
just a I don't know if it's a case replacement
or if it's a not like obviously not like a sticker,
but just like a case that you could stick the
(29:02):
thing into. But it is a Companion Cube. I had
no intention on buying a Gabe Cube, but I saw
that and I was like Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Oh yeah it is. That is theirs. Okay, yeah, that's
where someone got because they someone had a picture of it,
and I was like, damn, dude already. But then they
were they were talking about how like it's uh, the
kit has already been sent out to the developer. Kit
has already been sent out for all of these already
to developers like d Brand and obviously is a huge
(29:38):
manufacturer of things. But yeah, that's it right there. Yeah,
because that's so cool.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Obviously don't we don't see the back of it. This
is obviously a mock up. I don't think it's going
to be the final design, mainly because those USB por
worts are so deep.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Right, Like you'd have to make sure that you had
something that had a very small shroud.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
On it in order to fit into there.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, because so that could definitely be less of a
case replacement and more of just a thing.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
You a shell, a shell you stick it into there
as much. Yeah, I'm guessing the back has got to
be open so you can slide it in, because well,
the bottomingus you could slide into the bottom and it
would just be like slide over to the top end
or something. But then that you have to have access
for that fan and stuff on the back. You can't
cover that up because that and.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
That's why this really does feel like like it announced
there and somebody mocked it up real quick, because you're right, like,
I need to pay attention to the front ports.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
It would be a nightmare to.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Plug something into, especially if you're going to use your
frame on your on this. You need somewhere to put
that donglem. And it's like that's not that dongle's not
gonna fit in those So I mean, I know there's
some on the back. I'm pretty sure. Oh yeah there is,
but it's like convene it. Why you just plug it
around the front and get going, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Right? Was there an SD card slot on the front? Two?
Because I see like a little slit on the front.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I think the SD card slots on the bottom, all right, Yeah,
on the I think it might be on the bottom there.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
I can't as well. Let me just stick that st
card in there and lose it forever.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I ready for a fials and monitors and can throw
at it. One gigaport Ethernet DisplayPort one point four HTM
I two point zero one USBC and four USB A ports,
but like, don't actually throw things at it. That's I
love their little comments they put in there. Uh uh
(31:44):
CPU and GPU four K gaming, it's okay. Storage available
in two storage sizes, five hundred and twelve and two
hundred and two hundred two terriblet two hundred tabytes in
the fucking wild two terabytes. Both come with expandable storage
via microSD. Does not say what speeds the micro SD
has to be. I'm guessing probably at least XD right probably.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I'd imagine that it's very similar to the Steam dech
because you have the deleted run games off the Steam
tech System cards, so it's gonna be pretty fast.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
They're doing that thing too. They have two Wi Fi
six cards in it. It's a it's a dual card.
Now I shouldn't say two cards. It's a dual card
that allows you to have uh, connect to one and
connect to something else via the Wi Fi m It's
(32:33):
a big thing right now. I saw and there's a
is it the hp Omen laptop? I think I saw
it on and then there's a couple of desktops that
had it too. I know there was a picture. Oh,
maybe it's not on here. I thought there was a
picture of them showing the back of it. Maybe it's
in that video.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
There are tons of I've seen reviews that show the
back of it, if you find their website for it.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
That's what I'm on. Doesn't have a picture of it.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Oh I thought they had a breakdown on the like
a black and white picture towards the bottom.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
No, they just have a little animated things. We could
probably pull it.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Up or Steam Machine that's what they call it, not
the Steam Cube.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
Yeah, well is that the same website? Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I brought the app up. That's funny. I was looking
at the website and I clicked on a googled Steam Machine,
and I clicked the link, thinking oh, maybe it's a
different one. Literally just brings up the steam app on
my phone and shows me the same steam power dot
com slash hardware site. That's so funny.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
But yeah, it's got the micro Rusty card in the front,
mark Rosty card slot in the front. The back is
USBC US Ethernet HD displaybord.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, I'm trying to see. Does anybody have a picture
of the back? Nope, not on that one. About tech
radar pro.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
Whate the funk.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
That means, no, another fucking exposition about steam machines in
the past machine overview. I know, I know, I saw
a picture of it. I know there's a video of
I was hoping someone had picture already. Let's see what
(34:40):
Reddit has. I'm terrified open this. I don't. They only
have one picture anyways. It's just the fucking worst picture ever.
Is the front of it from a flat on view,
so it just looks like a fucking square mm hm oh.
I did think it was funny, though. I was talking
to a guy at work U that, Uh Jesus, no, no, no, Reddit,
(35:06):
I don't want to look at more stuff. Hold on me.
I don't have a three D printer obviously, not yet,
(35:31):
I guess. Uh no. No one knows what the future
dance has in store for us. But we were talking
about it and I was like, man, it's too bad
the the button is down below. I know why because
obviously the cover comes off, and you don't want the
fucking that to be, you know, there, because then everything
(35:54):
you put on there has to have a hole. That
sounds gross. Uh. But I was like, man, I really
want a three D print, something that looks like Deep
Thought from Hitchhiker's Guide. And you could do it still
because you could have a I was later thinking about,
you could just do like because what I wanted to
(36:15):
do is like three D print a stand to make
it look like the cube is at that angle like
from the movie obviously where it looks like it has
that it's holding its head up by its arm, and
then but the eyeball is up top of the on
the structure. I'm trying to pull a picture acually show
you what I'm talking about. Yeah, But then I really
(36:35):
looked at it and I was like, no, guess where
the button of that eyeball is, where the line is,
where the mouth is. I was like, oh my god,
you could do it. Yeah, and you could have You
could three D print a base that looks like the
body and it would just prop this. It would be
like a stand. I was like, oh my god, I
(36:56):
want to do that now that of course I'm putting
on the internet some assholes and steel my idea. But
it right, I'm sure someone's already going to be doing
it because it's the Internet.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
But but at least you'd be able to get it
at that point, like you said, you don't have a
three D printer, so you know somebody could just print
act and you could buy it.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah, because you could, like I'm sure you could three
D print something that would go over where the button is.
It would still be a button, but would have like
the that eye, like that round bulbous eye with the
red I was like, oh my god, you could do it. It
would be so awesome. Oh yeah, because I know someone.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
I mean at that.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Point, you could just do a full case replacement. I
did see uh someone take it out of the case
and it literally is just like comes out just just yeah,
one one giant fucking cube of chunk of cube. So
you could do a full case replacement on it and
just stick it in something like that it would be
(37:48):
and then you could program the the light to just
do something.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Yeah. The LED strip on the front of it is programmable.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Yeah. Yeah. I saw people already talking about like what
their need use for because I know, like you can
make it like the loading bar for what's downloading. You
can make it a loading button or loading lights so
as the game's loading up, it would it would go
and progress through. Was the other one. Oh, someone made
it showed a usage of it being an indicator of life,
(38:20):
like in a game like Your Lifebar. I was like,
that's pretty rad. What was the other one? Not a
giant brake? Seemed holy shit? What the power supplies built in?
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, oh my god, there's not a power adaptor. That's
fucking wild.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Yeah, it was just a power cord that comes out
to two prong.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
What power supply? I gotta look, I gotta find the
Does I fix it have a breakdown of it already?
Speaker 3 (38:48):
I don't know. I just saw that they they had
approached I fixed.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
It, was saying that they want to they want to
continue doing.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
A partnership with them.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
So I don't know if they even have anything up yet.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Was it actual? It's actual named.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Steam steam Machine? Oh they do? They? Fuck? They already
have a teardown? Do they really? No?
Speaker 3 (39:17):
I have an older one on here that.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
I yeah, that's what I'm trying to see. If it's
thirteen is the old one? I saw? Google said tear down? There?
Are you fucking shitting me? I didn't again, Like.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
I didn't even know they had a tear down for
the old controller.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
I see a tear down for the original controller, Like
I know that it's probably something. It might have been
something that Steam did them or notem I fix It
did themselves, because that's what they do. They do teardowns
of stuff and let you know how to fix things
and what the repair ability is.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
But uh, he's all from twenty thirteen.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Yeah, so it'll probably be closer to launch that they
actually will have parts and repair.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Guys available for it.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Yeah, they'll probably you have hardware to do it. Let's
see if I can do. Maybe maybe Google will give
me the image I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
But it'll be interesting to see how much of this
is priced as well, because they didn't really hit at
The only thing I remember seeing someone mentioned was that
again they don't think that Steam's going to be excuse me,
Valive is going to be subsidizing any of this stuff
with what they make in hardware or software sales. So
it could be something that will run somewhere around like the.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Seven day one hundred dollars range.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
So it'd be interesting to see if this you know
what this cost is, because this is something I could
definitely again, I wanted the thought of getting away from
some some devices and whatnot and moving to something that's
a bit more open source but like still usable and
you know game yeah, game focus. But it'd be interesting
(41:05):
to like replace an Apple TV with this. It's way
more powerful and it doesn't have the media features for it.
But I feel like it's a matter of time before
it does get like the ability to do.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Netflix streaming or Apple TV streaming.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
It's just because that's those are just apps that you
could put on to a store.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Yeah, then just have it work. So it is the
micro SD card up front, by the way, Yeah, so
too used to be a's the micro and then the
other two a's and the sea are on the back.
I found I found the picture of the fan I
was looking at what I was looking for. Yeah, yeah,
so you're right, And the case does come apart because
(41:44):
there's two hex screws on the back, so that probably the.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
Case replacement for it, And do what.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
You want so that d brand might actually be close
to what it looks like. Yeah, but I would love
to do a fucking deep thought one on it that
so rad just have it sitting on your desk right
next to you, all gold and ship mm hmm, and
then it's like oh yeah, yeah, sure that.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
You could literally commission somebody to do something like that.
I'm sure take much more than maybe, you know, whatever
they view their time is worth plus materials, and materials
probably wouldn't be that much. Maybe I don't know, but
time to design might be a little bit more expensive.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
I'll just float it out there when it when the
machine comes out, and they're like, oh, I really wish
someone if there was this, then someone will make it
and then don't have to worry about commissioning them money exactly right.
Just fucking find our maker's thing or whatever. What's that called?
Speaker 3 (42:36):
The the website for the big one. There's a there's
a few big ones, but I know there's one that
we've used to work before.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
And I can't remember what it's called now makers something right.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
Maker I think is actually the name of a certain printer. Well,
at least it's the name. If it's a partial name
of some printers. Well, yeah, I was facing on it too.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
It's long play scrolling through it.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Because I was looking for, like I said, we have
a three D printer at work so that we can
print out little things here and there, and I was
looking for graphics card holders and memory holders and stuff
like that. LTT even has like some of their CPU
holders on there. That's where we got those. Uh oh,
(43:28):
it's not Thingaverse.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
Principles, Principles.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
It might be there might be a couple of them.
There's one used to use all the time at Microsoft
because thing averse has is one of them. Yeah, Principles
is the other.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
One, and I know there's like one or two more.
I just can't think of it.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Make your World that's what it was, Make your World.
I believe that's the one we used to use, and
it was make or something rather but on there. I
believe it's on make your World, Make your World. You
can go on and be like, hey, does anybody have
an idea how to do this? And people will literally
throw up specs and you can just take them, throw
(44:12):
them in and then make make stuff right away. That's cool.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
I don't know if they still do it anymore, because
I think there's probably like people got upset about.
Speaker 2 (44:25):
I could definitely see that being like, oh, you're you know,
you're not paying the people to you know, make stuff
for you and it takes a lot and blah blah
blah blah.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
It's like I get it, Yeah, but if then don't
put it up there, if you don't want people to take.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
It for freely.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
How someone made It's a work in progress, it says,
but it looks to be damn near done. A one
to one replica of a Stargate dial home device. That's
that giant the thing that you hit the different things on,
(45:01):
Oh my god, and then you'd hit the center and
it would glow red.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
That's up on printables if you scroll down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Three D printed a computer case. Oh yeah, what the fuck, dude,
that's wild.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Actually, the one I said I see on here is
literally from cooler Master. Well, it says cooler Master.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
It probably uses their specs to put their stuff in.
Someone made a go kart.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Yeah, I don't doubt that. Like, there's a lot of cool. Wow,
there's a lot of cool stuff on here. If you
really had like a good three D printer, you could
really do nice stuff. Who does Borderlands?
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Gearbox?
Speaker 3 (45:46):
Gearbox? They have fixed masks on here that you can print.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
My senior at work had one of them, had his
brother print out one of them, and he showed me
a picture of it, and it's like that it's really
nice because his brother has like one of the really
high end like switches between color uh filaments printers and
it's really nice looking.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
Wow mm hmm. How the fuck you? Three D print
of waffle iron?
Speaker 3 (46:24):
I saw that too, but I didn't click on it,
but I was like, what the hell is that?
Speaker 1 (46:29):
It doesn't even look real.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
Up for little bakers and big parent makers. Maybe it's.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
That's why it does look real. Yeah, okay, stupid asses.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
If you scroll down a little bit under the community articles,
if the dial home device shows.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
Up for you, uh, we're under community.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
Yeah, I have to scroll down a little bit. At
least I'm on their website. I don't know how their
their mobile app looks.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
I just want to the community tab. Uh no, let
me go. Was it on the front page.
Speaker 3 (47:07):
Yeah, I didn't go anywhere. It was just on the homepage.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
If you search for if you search for like one
to one one slash one DHD.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
I'm trying to see if it pulls up from me here. Uh,
don't see it on the mobile site?
Speaker 6 (47:35):
The fuck is that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (47:38):
Design contest for cooler Master?
Speaker 6 (47:41):
Interesting?
Speaker 2 (47:43):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (47:43):
Search for you take screenshots said one slash one Yeah, one.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
One forward slash one DHD. Mm hm hmmm, we're share
their share share messages.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
Yeah, I'm figuring out technology. I just texted it, texted
the website.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Well that's not how you that Brown Joseph. Oh my god,
it's so big.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
Yeah, it's like legit life size.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
Does he have lights in it?
Speaker 3 (48:34):
I don't know. Like I'm looking through it.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
It looks like it has cutouts to go below its lights.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
He says, at least it's a work in progress. I mean, yeah,
I would say that. Probably going to have it laid up.
Speaker 1 (48:55):
Oh oh my god, zooming on that is fucking terrible.
That base alone must have taken forever to print. How
many pieces is that?
Speaker 3 (49:06):
I know? Right?
Speaker 1 (49:08):
That has to be modular, right, there's no way he
printed that.
Speaker 3 (49:11):
Oh no, it's it's definitely modular. Like I you see
the square sections?
Speaker 1 (49:15):
Oh I see him? Okay, yeah, it's hard. Like on
the phone, it's so hard to fuck you can't zoom
in properly. So fucking mobile site is trash can because
it does have.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
The lines and design of the DHD. But then you
can see the different squares of like, Okay, this is
this is a section that I printed. This is a
section that I printed. He does say at some point
in here that he thinks that he might go over
those lines with some putty and.
Speaker 3 (49:45):
Filler with filler and then spray everything.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
I think it's kind of cool with the different patches
of material or whatever. And obviously the holes were either
a screw or a actor piece has to go would
need to be covered up if you really wanted it
to be aesthetic. But yeah, it does look like the middle,
like where the tiles go. It looks like it has
openings for like a light to go in there.
Speaker 6 (50:12):
For sure, is he using screws?
Speaker 3 (50:19):
This article is so bare on what he's actually like,
how he's actually designed it.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
And made it. I'm surprised this got in a fucking
YouTube page or something too. Let's see yeah right, oh,
that's just share links. I would love to see more.
And then he says, what is stopping you? This is amazing.
(50:49):
I'm trying to see if you get the comments anything.
Speaker 3 (50:53):
I don't see anything either. That'd be really cool.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
M mm hmmmmm interesting.
Speaker 3 (51:13):
Indeed, anyway, the things that you find on principles.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, side tracks, I know, right side tracks.
Speaker 3 (51:27):
But how much would the game the GameCube be for
you to get it?
Speaker 2 (51:31):
I know that you've been thinking about a while for
building your own PC, I know this this would be
necessarily the same, it won't necessarily and to be quite frank,
it's not going to give you the fidelity.
Speaker 3 (51:42):
Of of like a higher end gaming PC.
Speaker 1 (51:45):
Inslects of this thing.
Speaker 3 (51:46):
Are squarely in the mid maybe mid tier of gaming.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
I would want this to be a conso a TV console,
not a computer, you know what.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
I mean, And that that's where I could see it
definitely being.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
Yeah, that's that's where I would want it. And I
would say, like a thousand dollars would be like, that's
like the perfect price even for the five twelve because
you can buy a micro SD card and pop it
in there. But also like, I'm not gonna store all
the games on there all the time, right, so I'm
gonna play I'm gonna play a game like in the
like for the most part. I mean, I can't imagine
(52:21):
the Steam games are fucking that big. Anyways, Well, sorry
you can't play other yeah, but so you can't play
other games on there. Yeah, but still like call.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
Duey is still fittable, you know, Like like you said,
you're you're thinking of the way of doing things like
I do. Like I if I'm not actively playing a game,
it's not on my my system. If I'm actively playing it,
then then it's on there. The only game that will
probably forever sit on my system is probably Cyberpunk, and
that's just because every once.
Speaker 3 (52:49):
In a while I get the itch.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
It just like I'm gonna jump back there and just
they updated every once in a while, and you're like,
all right, I'm just gonna jump back in and see
how things are, drive around a little bit, and do
a few things. Other than that, Like one I finish
a game, yeah, it's to leave it off my system.
So I don't really And obviously we have We are
unlike a lot of other people out there where we
have access to fiber Internet, and it literally takes maybe
(53:14):
ten ten twenty minutes to download an eighty gigabyte game,
which I.
Speaker 3 (53:19):
Do think is rather funny. It was a I don't
know if I've remember mentioned this before.
Speaker 2 (53:23):
It was something I was talking to somebody at work
about and they were like, yeah, you know, when Borderlands
came out. I got home because he was super excited
to play it, and he's like, I just I hit
download and then I went and did some stuff for
three hours, and I was like three hours. It took
you three hours to download that? And then I realized like,
oh right, Like I literally downloaded what was the last
(53:44):
game that, like Residue Evil or something like that, which
was like thirty gigabytes. Yeah, I hit download and was like, oh,
it's gonna take twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (53:53):
God go, this is ridiculous minutes.
Speaker 2 (53:57):
And it's like, oh yeah, I have gigabit Internet, like
and he has. He lives in an apartment built complex,
so he he's got whatever Cox gives him, and so
I think he has like three hundred meg or something
like that.
Speaker 3 (54:12):
So yeah, he was like, yeah, it took him like
an hour or to download.
Speaker 1 (54:16):
A new game.
Speaker 3 (54:17):
I was just like, ah, I forgot about that.
Speaker 1 (54:20):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 3 (54:21):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (54:24):
Also, if he's so excited, why doesn't you have that
pre downloaded?
Speaker 2 (54:27):
You could literally just be like oh, yeah, I'm just
going to download the game, you know, real quick, and
it'll take ten twenty minutes download.
Speaker 1 (54:34):
But if he's so excited about playing, why didn't you
have it pre downloaded? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (54:39):
I don't know if Steam, because uh, he played on
played on PC.
Speaker 1 (54:44):
You can they steam like PC pre downloaded like two
days before then.
Speaker 3 (54:50):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (54:51):
All I know is what he If he's listening, you're
a fucking loser.
Speaker 3 (54:56):
Dangn he's probably not listening.
Speaker 1 (54:57):
Okay, well he's still a fucking loser.
Speaker 3 (55:00):
Fair enough.
Speaker 1 (55:00):
Get your fucking shit together, especially with your ship Internet.
Speaker 3 (55:04):
Oh my god, I'll mention it. I'll mention it next
time that something like that comes up.
Speaker 2 (55:09):
Uh, because you're right, like, I don't know what what
what person that that you pre Maybe he didn't pre
order it.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
Maybe he bought it the same day because he wasn't
like doing pre orders.
Speaker 1 (55:21):
Maybe, I mean, there was no real incentive other than
like some cosmetics in a fucking bullshit thing. Oh by
the way, so I don't know if I told you
about this. I was borderline ready to boycott Borderlands when
it when it when I got to level fifty. So
when you pre order it, which I did like the
night before. But anyways, because I was like, well, I'm
(55:41):
gonna spend this money anyways, it's not any extra I'm
gonna get cosmetics and whatever. Fucking the those loot the
fucking legendary stuff they give you whatever, right, which I
know is gonna be garbage. For the most part, but whatever,
because I'm gonna spend the money mine as we'll get
it the day before and get the freebies.
Speaker 3 (55:59):
Mm hm.
Speaker 1 (55:59):
So anyway, so I played through the game, right, I
got to level fifty finally endgame, blah blah blah. I
was like, cool, I'm gonna go open this fucking drop
that's in there. Yeah. So the drop is uh intended
for you to open it right away because it has
four items, and those four items are level locked to
(56:23):
a certain level. So as you progress through the game,
you can use one of them, and then you progress further,
you use another one, you progress further, you get another one,
and then the last one.
Speaker 2 (56:32):
And I was like, you waited this whole entire time
and then basically got like a blue or a green,
a blue.
Speaker 3 (56:38):
A purple, and a goal.
Speaker 1 (56:39):
Well they were all gold. They're all legendary. But I'm
saying in that like, yes, that.
Speaker 2 (56:44):
That quality now is like, well, this is useless, this
is useless, this is useless, And I guess this is
the okay thing there.
Speaker 1 (56:52):
Yeah, Like there was one that was the level like
fifteen twenty something, thirty something in fifty, and I was like,
fucking garbage.
Speaker 3 (57:04):
Yeah, I know the loot is is something that a
lot of people complained about.
Speaker 1 (57:08):
Well, I still have the same complaint I've had forever
is the fact that it still drops stuff for that
are that are for certain vault hunders that you're not using,
so I'll get a legendary drop, like yes, legendary drop
walk over, not for my character. I was like, why,
why why.
Speaker 2 (57:24):
Single player game is a single player game? I mean, yes,
you can do multiplayer and whatnot that you're playing a single.
Speaker 1 (57:30):
Player, but it should drop stuff for you.
Speaker 2 (57:32):
Like That's what I'm saying, Like, this is a game
that could be played with multiple people but also alone. Yeah,
why are you dropping stuff for other character types that
you're not playing?
Speaker 1 (57:44):
Well? Not just like okay, so yes you can have
all those characters like on your account, right, but it
should know a I don't have any of those unlocked
at all. I have one character on this account. Mm hm,
I don't have another one, So why are you giving
me stuff for a character I don't even have unlocked?
Speaker 3 (58:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (58:05):
It's like, dude, what the fuck? Man?
Speaker 3 (58:07):
Because it's just artificial filmo.
Speaker 1 (58:09):
It's just.
Speaker 3 (58:11):
You know, gotta keep grinding to get get to get
the stuff.
Speaker 2 (58:15):
That you want, which I still don't understand because it's
a single player game, Like, once I finish the story,
there's there's ostensibly unless you're gonna release DLC or something
they are, but what what's going to keep me here
to continue to grind stuff?
Speaker 3 (58:29):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (58:30):
Yeah, and there's not enough like there's I haven't played
it in like a week, but because all I get
on there to do is basically is kill bosses at
a higher level so I can move up the Vault
Hunt Ultimate Vault Under mode. But like even then, you're
not getting better drops or drop rates from apparently what
everyone's saying. Uh, And the guns don't get any better
on like stats on them from Vault hunder one to
(58:51):
Vault Hunder five. The enemies just take more damage. I
was like, okay, but like, uh, when I was playing
and I would, you know, i'd get whatever to like endgame,
you can farm bosses because they have dedicated drops for items, right,
so once you get them, and then like the other
(59:12):
thing people are running are trying to grind for a phosphorus,
which is an unlockable skin. The gun is exactly the same.
The difference is the skin is unlocked to look different
so it has a phosphorus like this new design or
whatever its shiny weapons basically, and then once you unlock it,
you can use that skin on any variation of that weapon.
So if it is a weapon that has different variations
(59:35):
to it, like it could have corrosive versus electrical or
whatever rate, and you have a better version of it
that is better than the phosphorus one, you can then
make that one look phosphorus by applying that skin, because
that unlocks it across to your account, which is fine whatever,
but the drop rate on is like super hard, and
I'm like, that is the dumbest thing in the world.
(59:58):
That is not endgame. Much like most games nowadays, their
end game is not really an end game. It's what's
an end game because it makes me want not want
to play the game anymore, But it's not really like
anything to really keep me playing after the game is over,
because like there's nothing left, Like, oh cool, I can
keep killing this boss over and over again to get
the same weapon a better version of it, but I'm like,
(01:00:20):
once I do get a better version that I like better,
I don't have to play that boss anymore. And even
their Halloween event, which by the way wasn't running during Halloweens.
Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
I didn't even hear about it.
Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Yeah, it was cool because they released this really fun
garnade called Scully and it's literally a skull and when
you throw the grenade, it floats in the air and
goes after bad guys and shoots and lasers out of
his eyes. Okay, yeah, it's pretty and it's actually it's
a pretty decent grenade too, because it does explode and
it hits them. Not a huge explosion, but it literally
(01:00:53):
will track and shoot them from like super far away
and then hit them and explode as it gets closer.
Super fun grenade. Plus it's awesome because like it kind
of tells you where bad guys are because they's turning
and shooting and like, oh, there's a bad guy over there.
But the other funny thing too, and I don't know,
I think this is more unintentional but still hilarious. Uh
is uh It will continue shooting a dead body when
(01:01:16):
there's no other bad guys around, so you literally see
this body of like are what the stain where body
used to? Because a lot of times it explodes because
that's what Borlands does, and it's just relentlessly shooting the
ground where the stain is at. It makes me laugh
every single time, but it's pretty It's a pretty fun
grenade because you get like two charges. And if I
rebuild my Rafa build, I guess there's a skill you
(01:01:38):
can unlock where he automatically throws a secondary grenade every time.
So two charges of the grenade is technically four charges
because he can throw. When he throws one out, a
second grenade comes out. I haven't unlocked that one because
I would have to go back through and do it,
and I'm just lazy. But yeah, the Halloween event was
only the weekend before Halloween. Yeah, so it is. And
(01:02:00):
even during Halloween, I was like why why not?
Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
Also, why is it what?
Speaker 4 (01:02:07):
It was?
Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
Only like, actually, I can tell you right now, hold
on how long it was? It wasn't It was only
like maybe a week long. Yeah, it should have been
all I know why because there was nothing much to
it at all. UH had a name? What would they
call it? Hold on Halloween event? Oh? Did it run? Oh?
(01:02:38):
Maybe it ran longer than I thought, or maybe I
just got everything and didn't real But it was called
the Horrors of Cairos.
Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
It says here it ran from October twenty third November
sixth I don't remember it running that long though it
had a gun and had a skull or a helmet.
Thing was like a pumpkin, like a Jack lanner with
a hatchet hanging out. It was pretty cool. I actually
still have my character because it's pretty wicked looking. And
(01:03:06):
then had the grenade which is called Scully, which is
hilarious nice, and it was supposed to rain blood, but
I don't remember ever really doing that. Maybe it was
during the boss fight if it was raining blood there,
but yeah, during boss fight encounters, I to scroll down
and see it a chance to earn two legendary items,
the Murmur Assault Rifle and the Scully grenade. Skull grenade
(01:03:29):
is definitely the best one. I don't even if I
got the Murmur Assault rifle because like it was, you
had to go and find a boss event and then
a shift code for the Jack o Lantern, which is
supposed to look like basically handsome Jack with his bolted
on face and a Jack lantern look to it with
like I said, with a hatchet sticking out or a
(01:03:51):
machete sticking out, which is pretty cool. I think that's
all it was yeah, it's so and it was, like
I said, it didn't run very long, and I was like,
this is stupid. But then he gets free content whatever, right,
yeah right.
Speaker 3 (01:04:07):
Take what you can get. But he also spent seventy
bucks on it, so who you get a little bit more?
Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Yeah, well, you know what, whatever, AnyWho, I think that's
all I wanted to talk about.
Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
That's all I got.
Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
Yeah, all right, cool. Uh that's been. That's it for
this week's episode. It comes Actually we've been I've been Cody,
and as usual, you fuckers just came naturally.
Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
Bye.
So you can hear me.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Well, I thought it was weird too because it was
like literally no audio, Like I couldn't even really hear myself.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Well, no, I'll give you an indication. Yeah, mm hmmmm
mm hmmm.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
What Oh pumpkin holes.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Love me a good pumpkin hole, I bet you do.
Speaking of pumpkin holes, Chick fil A over by best
Buy they have fall uh window decoration, some like painted
on like pumpkins and stuff. Every pumpkin looks like it
(00:52):
has a butt. It has just two cheeks.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
That's uh Fredian thing for you or a freighting thing.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
For it is straight up butts. Like there's no like.
I don't know why they allow this, but yeah, it's
if someone is playing a joke on them. There's no way, hey,
because pumpkins don't look like that.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
They probably don't.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
They don't have butts.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I'm just saying that I can see where a very
stylized pumpkin could look like a butt.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Get what you're saying, Okay, I'm just.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah, butts, butts, Joe, you ever thought?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Why did? Is there a way to explain the recasting
of Jennifer in the Back to Future movies?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Where was she recast? What do you mean? Wait, so
you mean like the rumor that she was originally like
like Eric Stoltz.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
No, first off, Eric Stultz was not Jennifer. Eric Sultz
was was Marty? No?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I realized that I'm saying that that he was recast.
But was she recast at at some point? So that's
what I'm saying, was she?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
There? Was there an original actress.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
That well the first the Jennifer in the first movie
is out the Jennifer from the second and third movie.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Okay, that's it. I didn't realize it's.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
A different actress. You didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I didn't realize.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Now, really, b blah blah. So in the Well was
a short film. Oh, that's that weird thing they did.
(03:05):
Come on, there we go early in the second monitor
for my computer. Muh, there we go.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Man, this computer just cannot handle anything anymore. I clicked
on IMDb.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
And it was just like, uh.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Uh no, no application error, can't can't load.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It can't load, can't load.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Can't load IMDb.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So I can't look at the cast from that maybe Wikipedia.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So Claudia Wells played Jennifer Parker in the first film,
and then Elizabeth Shoe was in the second and third film. Okay,
so I don't know why I thought of this the
other day, but so basically the whole scene is at
(04:11):
the end of the first Back to the Future, Jennifer
and Marty are sitting on the front porch and Doc
pulls up in the Dolorean and he says, your future
is in danger, blah blah blah. Right, and then like
(04:33):
that's when you see the car fly. Well, when you
go to the second movie and they redo that shot,
it's a different actress. And I was thinking about this.
I was like, uh, because everyone's like, oh, yeah, blah
blah blah. You know, I don't want to say plot hole,
but I'm pretty sure people have said that before. It's like,
(04:53):
it's not a plot hole, it's the fact the recast her.
But and instead of keeping that same scene for the
second movie that has reshot it with a different actress,
Elizabeth Shoe, I was like, I wonder if you could
just be like, hey, uh, what if the events of
(05:15):
two in or of part three change the lineage of Jennifer.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I suppose butterfly effect could.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Be possible because when you think about it, when Doc
goes Doc goes back in time, right, he like obviously
established himself as the blacksmith and whatever right he meets
what is her? Kara Clara Clara, Clara Clara. That's what
(05:48):
it was. And obviously things unfold differently because you know,
she disappears from time. What if that caused a butterfly
effect to make the parents of Jennifer slightly different.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I would say it's a good theory, but.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
The events of that are not don't affect anything until
they happen. It's one of those weird things that the
events of the third movie seemingly don't have an effect
until the third movie happens.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, but what I'm saying, though, is the events that
led up to two and three, well, ultimately the events
in three could have made an effect, right, could have
changed somehow, like when Clara disappears, maybe a different teacher
comes in or something and that changes who meets who
(06:47):
down the line.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Again.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Because the specific thing that I remember from three, even
Marty explains that the reason why they call.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
The the.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Goal the uh what they call that like the basically
where the train went off, Uh, Clara was supposed to
die in that in that scene, and that's why they
the the students called, like the way something about the
teacher dying there that blah blah blah blah. When she
gets saved, that changes the events of the future. So
(07:20):
it's no longer that that golf for or whatever it
was I can't remember, is referred to as you know,
the teacher dying off of there. So the fact that
he can remember that means that nothing had changed there
until that.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Point, That's what I'm saying. But when he comes back,
wouldn't that also could cause an effect, But.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I'm just saying that wouldn't have that by this by
this timeline, it more than likely doesn't affect anything until
it happens type of thing in three.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Well, I guess yeah, because it would have happened happened
in one.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You would all you'd have to have assumed that it
would that everything. That's the problem with this problem with
the time travel stuff in any of these movies is
that none of the time travel affects anything until it
affects something type of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, I thought that'd be a clever way to explain
why the different actors in there, But you're right, it
wouldn't be. It would affect it in one, not in two. Yeah, huh, okay,
maybe not that actually is the fun Actually, if anything.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You could and I would have to probably think of
this more because technically the events of part of the
events of two take place in a separate timeline type.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Thing, an altered timeline because because of Grandpa Biff.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Right, you could make the argument that.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Because of something that happened site like differently in because
obviously there is a change in from the where we
started at the beginning of one to where we finish
at the beginning of one. There is there is an
obvious change because George McFly is no longer a loser.
He's actually a successful right, well, not successful, but he
(09:23):
will be a successful writer. Obviously it's his first book
that that he has finished writing by writing by the
end of the first movie, but he seems more successful
towards the beginning of it as well.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Yeah, he's already that that already right there, we have
a switch enough that something could have Butterfly effected into
the change itself from from the beginning of one to
the end of one.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
So maybe if you cut Oh no, so they're in there,
but they're in the car race.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
We just don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
We don't know Jennifer's lineage, so we don't know, Like
her family could definitely be a family that has just
existed in.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
The Hillsdale area for a long time.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Maybe had you know, had gone to the same high
school or whatever as these characters and something had changed
in there, Yes, that could have affected things.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah what have had have it happened?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
But everything would have to have happened in.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
One yeah hmm, Okay, whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Has read it been feeding you back to the future
subreddit as well.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
No, Reddit has been sending me random shit that I
don't care about.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh yeah, I mean that's that's Reddit as well. It's
just for some reason. For the past week or so,
I've been getting back to the future r slash Back
to the Future, our slash Ghostbusters.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I'm trying to get you, Joe, come to us, Joe.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I mean I already click on that stuff anyway because
I'm like, oh, it look good Ghostbuster stuff.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Cool. That's how Reddit gets me.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's the problem with redd It is like it'll show
me something and I never look at like what subreddited
is on. So I'll be like what the fuck is this,
and I'll click on it and then it's just like, oh,
you clicked on it, therefore you want to see more
of this.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It's like I was just.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
More curious what this is, and then I look at
what subreddit.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I'm in, like, oh okay, it sounds like I subscribed
to this.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I literally only subscribed like one or two things.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I don't help me in the I actually subscribe to you,
tell you the truth.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I'm trying to think of anything else weird wise, like
our slash cast Iron. Never even search for cast iron
stuff on there. It's just like our slash cast Iron.
It's like, you know that we bought new cast iron stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
It's watching I hope not your FBI agent's feeding him
information works.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I can't wait for the day that because I finally
got an invite to the new dig and I've been.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Been scrolling through that.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's very early stages, so there's content there and a
bit of interaction with stuff. I've been trying to go
through and be a little bit more active of like
liking stuff and just trying to find articles on there
and whatnot. But obviously it doesn't have as much of
a breath of stuff as a reddit does.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
But again, like from what I understand, what Kevin Rose
and alex who.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Alexei Alexi I think his actually name is Who's the
actual one of the founders of Reddit, are you know?
Restarting dig They want to make it more human, want
to make it more person driven, and I can't wait
to get more into that. Hope believe that really takes
off rather than sticking with Reddit.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
And I'm really like so anti other social media stuff
right now.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
And I have been for a long time.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, and this isn't I feel like this ends up
being like old man yelled at cloud type stuff. But
it's like, I just have I don't want to be
the product anymore with any of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I'm so tired of of all.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
These companies selling my data and whatnot, and yet prices
still go up on things.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Well, they got to pay for your data, buddy, They
get paid for my data.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That's the way they can feed.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Me ads, no the other people. So people buying your
data have to make money, so they have to charge
you more so they can then buy your data to
send you ads to get you to come buy.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Very much pretty much. So I'm just getting tired of that.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
And it's just yeah, it's funny because one of one
of the guys that I work with got hired as
an auto tech at one of the stores and he was,
you know, saying goodbye to everybody. He was like, oh man,
you got what's your socials? And I was like, none, none, none,
(14:27):
And I'm happy about it because that stuff is just accessible.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I ain't got one of them.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I think got one of those. I mean, technically, I
do have one for everything. I do have a Facebook account.
I do have a Twitter account or.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
X or whatever you want to freaking call.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I do have, you know, a meta account or Instagram account.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I don't have Snapchat unless it's tied into something else.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Use any of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
And honestly, I just need to go through and delete
all that stuff and just be done with that. It's
it's it's not healthy for anybody at all.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That's the thing. And that's why, like, uh, we can
get into this.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
One of the main topics that actually came out this
past week, which is the valve stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Frame, the was it the Steam Steam Cube? Is that
what they called it. I keep seeing people call.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
It the gate Cube, the game CBS the one I
keep hearing.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
So now I can now.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I just keep thinking of it as the Gate Cube,
and it's just like, all right, that's that's just what
I think of it as now.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
And then the Steam Controller, which is which is technically
the Steam Controller.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Two but three right, No, two, there's.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Never been a third one.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
There was they they licensed out to Hoary Artie to
make a Steam controller, but it was never official third.
First party was a third.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Party, the third version.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Of it, No second, second.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Second by them by them, but.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Like I said, they did allow I think it was
Hoary made a controller with a Steam.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Button on it.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
What does that launch Steam?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Ostensibly something like that, or when you're in a game, maybe.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Just hit it and access like a Steam menu of
some sort menu or like again brings you back to
Steam big screen mode or something like that. Yeah, but anyway, Yeah,
like that was super exciting. I don't have any respects
in front of me.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I know.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
It's the very like the VR headset itself is very
average for what you would expect on because it's going
up against the Oculus Quest yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Series of things.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I don't even know if it has like a direct
direct specs to compete with, like the Quest three, which
is the newest quest out there.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I know it lacks some features that the Quest three has.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That people are complaining about, but I don't understand because
Valve never Valve didn't advertise it in that way because
people were complaining that they were interested in in the
steam the new frame, but it doesn't have color outward
facing cameras on it, so they don't they don't want it,
(17:21):
and what what what VR headset in twenty twenty five
doesn't come with color outfacing cameras and people are other
people on those those RDIT threats have literally been like
they never advertised it as an AR stuff. Yeah, advertised
it as just straight VR.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, like I don't I don't care about AR, like
I don't want to see outside the goggles.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Yeah, like you.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Can see you can switch over to like a grayscale
you know thing. And they did highlight that it has
that it does IR tracking, so it has IR you know,
the cameras are IR and they do have infrared.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
LEDs on it, so they can't do low light tracking.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
But they never said like, oh and look, you can
play AR games on it. They never said that, So
it's like, stop complaining about something that they didn't even
I get it. It's not for you because you do
AR gaming. They didn't say it was AR that was
an AR gaming device. It's a VR gaming device that
is more of like strapping a Steam deck to your
face type thing, and that's that's it. And honestly, that's
(18:28):
kind of what I like. I know, we have the
Oculus Quest two and I had played a little bit
of Half Life Alex in it, and I really do
want to go back.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
And finish that game.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
But again, it's it's attached to Facebook and I fucking
hate that and I don't want ont that, like it
is another account that I have, it's a meta account,
and it's like, don't want to be tied to anything
Mark Zuckerberg, anything, period.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
And so they announced this and I'm like, this is
kind of what I would want. It has the ability
to play games.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
And do.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I guess it really is just play games right now.
I was thinking, I was trying to think if they
if they said it would like you would like watch
videos or anything, and I don't recall them saying that,
but I don't.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I think it's.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Probably a matter of time before they get you can
do well. No, they mentioned that you could sideload handraid
apps on there because it is based off of LAITNX,
So it'd be interesting to see how easy it is
to be like, oh, I could just put you know,
I don't think you could just put Netflix on it
because of all the security stuff that has to go
along with it, but it would be interesting if they did,
(19:43):
you know, at least start out with gaming stuff and
then go, hey, you could also put on these other
apps that you can watch shows and whatnot on but
just for being a able to play wireless because it
(20:03):
comes with like a six gigger herd little dongle that
directly connects to the headset.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
And you plug just into your computer.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And it does a bunch of other fancy stuff with
what they call phobiated streaming, so basically only rendering well,
only streaming in high quality what you're.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Looking at, yeah, versus the rest of the screen. Is
really cool.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
But this is exactly the thing that I want because
and it's also repaarable. They've already announced that the hey,
you know, with a lot of this, with all this stuff,
we're still in partnership with I fix it, so you
can just replace.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Stuff on it.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So this is the thing that I've been kind of
waiting for and would more likely buy just a matter
of price. They did say they didn't announce any price
of any of this stuff, even the gay Cube or
the Steam Controller. They did say for the frame that
they are aiming for less expensive than the valve index.
(21:10):
The valve index is one thousand dollars right now, so
less than a thousand dollars. I just don't know what
price it would be where it becomes an instant buy
versus a maybe save up some money then buy it eventually,
(21:31):
because I don't even know how much is a quest three.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
That's a great question here, because.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
That's the thing is like, I'd have to say that
they have to be aiming for.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Around that price.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
So for a five to twelve gig model, it says
five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, and I can see this thing if you get
the one twenty eight or no, well three dollars it's
on sale.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Sorry, yeah, uh, I couldn't see it going for that
little price.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
The three three hundred.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Definitely five hundred, Probably not either because Meta is still
like probably subsidizing a lot of that hardware with game
purchases and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
And I know that.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Obviously, Steam makes thirty percent on all game purchases, but.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I don't see them subsidizing any of their hardware.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
With that, so it probably will be somewhere around the
six to seven hundred dollars range. Like what was the
Steam deck when it came out? That Steam deck was
is some five six hundred dollars, wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I want to say it was closer to like eight hundred,
wasn't it.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
I thought, Oh, that's my.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Deck's to be different? Search sir, Well, that was.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
A stream deep on launch, So.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Sixty four gigabyte was four hundred dollars, two fifty six
was five twenty nine, and a five twelve was six
forty nine. So I could see it being and I
don't remember what storage they said would be available in it.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Five twelve to two terabytes of leaves what they said, damn, So.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I could see it starting at around the six forty
nine mark. That seems relatively reasonable for that to me.
It's just a matter of like, is that an instant
purchase of Like, damn, that's really cool. That's what I want,
you know. Wireless VR gaming head sat with the ability
(23:55):
to plug in, with the ability to just repair it
without having to connect it to any service that I like.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
It might be.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, so I was excited about that, excited about the
controller too, looked really cool, something that might be worth
a purchase. I do have an xboxy lead to controller
hooked up right now to play those types of games
that need it, Like I'm playing Stray right now, and.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
It's a lot better on controller than it is with
a mouse and keyboard.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
But I don't know if that's like an instant purchase
type thing, especially just to see how much it costs.
That's another thing of like what was the cost of
the original Steam controller when that came out.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
That was a while ago. The reason I was thinking
there was three of them is the original one before
it came out as a public one, was one that
had that weird extra mouse thing in the middle they
got rid of. So the original design of the Steam
controller had the two touch areas, but in the middle
(25:07):
had an extra one that could act like one of
those like like the you know, the stupid little dongle
mouse thingy on laptops. It had one of those, and
I guess they I was looking at it. I guess
I got rid of that when it went to production model.
So that's why I was thinking there was three versions,
because I could have swore there was a different variation
of it, But that's because it was a pre production one.
That because I used it at E three right before
(25:33):
they like before wait, actually like two years before they
launched it, when they first announced that they were working
on hardware, and I remember that one and it looks
almost exactly the same, but in the middle where it
added the buttons, it had that little like mouse thing
you could use. So I was thinking that was a
(25:54):
different version, but that I think that was I was
looking up and that was a production version that was
not the final variation that came out. That's why I
thought it was a third one, because I was like,
I remember there being a different version, because I never
got one. We were gonna get one, and then I
kept hearing such bad things about that the touch interface,
(26:16):
and I was like, I don't want that. I want
regular analog sticks and that would be nice, but I'm
obviously back like that would be super hard to do
on a controller back then. Obviously they did it now
because it has the same interface that the Steam Deck
has with those touch pads. Or whatever those are. Actually
they have a name for him, but yeah, so I remember.
(26:40):
And then I a friend of actually you know, you know,
you know Dan Bagellen, he got one and I was
using it. I was like, this is not bad, but
like it's weird because you have to move your thumbs
so much for like fast motion. I just like, I
don't like this at all.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, and ultimately something like that with those dedicated track
pads would be more beneficial to other some games than others.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I couldn't see trying.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
To play like a first person shooter with that type
of inner interaction on it. Definitely a choice to controller
to gate game pad would be better for first persion shooters.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yep. I've always wanted to try one.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I even thought about buying a one off of like
offer Up or something like that, but never could pull
the trigger because people are still holding on to like,
oh it's like, you know, worth a bunch of money.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
It's like, yeah, not really is it, though?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Nah?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
You know not everything is a collector's iter these days.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Come on, Yeah, trust me, I see people trying to
do stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah, so never pulled the trigger on it.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I have an unopen happy meal from nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Gross, why were you holding onto.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
That first off?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Ill?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Right?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh, that's the other one too. I guess someone already found.
I guess there's not want to cut you off, but
about the Steam machine or the Gabe Cube. So they're
talking about how Steam is gonna let you three D
print the front cover that comes on and off. So someone,
I guess there's a developer kit already out that has it.
(28:24):
So someone went through and they made a Companion Cube
cover D brand? Was it D brand?
Speaker 3 (28:30):
The D brand did it?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Then?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I think it's up for pre order.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
And then someone went further and made a whole case
for it, so the whole case you can put it
in it? Oh, is it D brand that did it?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Let me see if a whole I say they made.
But they had a mock up that I saw for
a full case replacement. Might it might have been or
just a I don't know if it's a case replacement
or if it's a not like obviously not like a sticker,
but just like a case that you could stick the
(29:02):
thing into. But it is a Companion Cube. I had
no intention on buying a Gabe Cube, but I saw
that and I was like Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Oh yeah it is. That is theirs. Okay, yeah, that's
where someone got because they someone had a picture of it,
and I was like, damn, dude already. But then they
were they were talking about how like it's uh, the
kit has already been sent out to the developer. Kit
has already been sent out for all of these already
to developers like d Brand and obviously is a huge
(29:38):
manufacturer of things. But yeah, that's it right there. Yeah,
because that's so cool.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Obviously don't we don't see the back of it. This
is obviously a mock up. I don't think it's going
to be the final design, mainly because those USB por
worts are so deep.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Right, Like you'd have to make sure that you had
something that had a very small shroud.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
On it in order to fit into there.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, because so that could definitely be less of a
case replacement and more of just a thing.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
You a shell, a shell you stick it into there
as much. Yeah, I'm guessing the back has got to
be open so you can slide it in, because well,
the bottomingus you could slide into the bottom and it
would just be like slide over to the top end
or something. But then that you have to have access
for that fan and stuff on the back. You can't
cover that up because that and.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
That's why this really does feel like like it announced
there and somebody mocked it up real quick, because you're right, like,
I need to pay attention to the front ports.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
It would be a nightmare to.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Plug something into, especially if you're going to use your
frame on your on this. You need somewhere to put
that donglem. And it's like that's not that dongle's not
gonna fit in those So I mean, I know there's
some on the back. I'm pretty sure. Oh yeah there is,
but it's like convene it. Why you just plug it
around the front and get going, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Right? Was there an SD card slot on the front? Two?
Because I see like a little slit on the front.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I think the SD card slots on the bottom, all right, Yeah,
on the I think it might be on the bottom there.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
I can't as well. Let me just stick that st
card in there and lose it forever.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I ready for a fials and monitors and can throw
at it. One gigaport Ethernet DisplayPort one point four HTM
I two point zero one USBC and four USB A ports,
but like, don't actually throw things at it. That's I
love their little comments they put in there. Uh uh
(31:44):
CPU and GPU four K gaming, it's okay. Storage available
in two storage sizes, five hundred and twelve and two
hundred and two hundred two terriblet two hundred tabytes in
the fucking wild two terabytes. Both come with expandable storage
via microSD. Does not say what speeds the micro SD
has to be. I'm guessing probably at least XD right probably.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I'd imagine that it's very similar to the Steam dech
because you have the deleted run games off the Steam
tech System cards, so it's gonna be pretty fast.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
They're doing that thing too. They have two Wi Fi
six cards in it. It's a it's a dual card.
Now I shouldn't say two cards. It's a dual card
that allows you to have uh, connect to one and
connect to something else via the Wi Fi m It's
(32:33):
a big thing right now. I saw and there's a
is it the hp Omen laptop? I think I saw
it on and then there's a couple of desktops that
had it too. I know there was a picture. Oh,
maybe it's not on here. I thought there was a
picture of them showing the back of it. Maybe it's
in that video.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
There are tons of I've seen reviews that show the
back of it, if you find their website for it.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
That's what I'm on. Doesn't have a picture of it.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Oh I thought they had a breakdown on the like
a black and white picture towards the bottom.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
No, they just have a little animated things. We could
probably pull it.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Up or Steam Machine that's what they call it, not
the Steam Cube.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
Yeah, well is that the same website? Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I brought the app up. That's funny. I was looking
at the website and I clicked on a googled Steam Machine,
and I clicked the link, thinking oh, maybe it's a
different one. Literally just brings up the steam app on
my phone and shows me the same steam power dot
com slash hardware site. That's so funny.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
But yeah, it's got the micro Rusty card in the front,
mark Rosty card slot in the front. The back is
USBC US Ethernet HD displaybord.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, I'm trying to see. Does anybody have a picture
of the back? Nope, not on that one. About tech
radar pro.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
Whate the funk.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
That means, no, another fucking exposition about steam machines in
the past machine overview. I know, I know, I saw
a picture of it. I know there's a video of
I was hoping someone had picture already. Let's see what
(34:40):
Reddit has. I'm terrified open this. I don't. They only
have one picture anyways. It's just the fucking worst picture ever.
Is the front of it from a flat on view,
so it just looks like a fucking square mm hm oh.
I did think it was funny, though. I was talking
to a guy at work U that, Uh Jesus, no, no, no, Reddit,
(35:06):
I don't want to look at more stuff. Hold on me.
I don't have a three D printer obviously, not yet,
(35:31):
I guess. Uh no. No one knows what the future
dance has in store for us. But we were talking
about it and I was like, man, it's too bad
the the button is down below. I know why because
obviously the cover comes off, and you don't want the
fucking that to be, you know, there, because then everything
(35:54):
you put on there has to have a hole. That
sounds gross. Uh. But I was like, man, I really
want a three D print, something that looks like Deep
Thought from Hitchhiker's Guide. And you could do it still
because you could have a I was later thinking about,
you could just do like because what I wanted to
(36:15):
do is like three D print a stand to make
it look like the cube is at that angle like
from the movie obviously where it looks like it has
that it's holding its head up by its arm, and
then but the eyeball is up top of the on
the structure. I'm trying to pull a picture acually show
you what I'm talking about. Yeah, But then I really
(36:35):
looked at it and I was like, no, guess where
the button of that eyeball is, where the line is,
where the mouth is. I was like, oh my god,
you could do it. Yeah, and you could have You
could three D print a base that looks like the
body and it would just prop this. It would be
like a stand. I was like, oh my god, I
(36:56):
want to do that now that of course I'm putting
on the internet some assholes and steel my idea. But
it right, I'm sure someone's already going to be doing
it because it's the Internet.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
But but at least you'd be able to get it
at that point, like you said, you don't have a
three D printer, so you know somebody could just print
act and you could buy it.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah, because you could, like I'm sure you could three
D print something that would go over where the button is.
It would still be a button, but would have like
the that eye, like that round bulbous eye with the
red I was like, oh my god, you could do it. It
would be so awesome. Oh yeah, because I know someone.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
I mean at that.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Point, you could just do a full case replacement. I
did see uh someone take it out of the case
and it literally is just like comes out just just yeah,
one one giant fucking cube of chunk of cube. So
you could do a full case replacement on it and
just stick it in something like that it would be
(37:48):
and then you could program the the light to just
do something.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Yeah. The LED strip on the front of it is programmable.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Yeah. Yeah. I saw people already talking about like what
their need use for because I know, like you can
make it like the loading bar for what's downloading. You
can make it a loading button or loading lights so
as the game's loading up, it would it would go
and progress through. Was the other one. Oh, someone made
it showed a usage of it being an indicator of life,
(38:20):
like in a game like Your Lifebar. I was like,
that's pretty rad. What was the other one? Not a
giant brake? Seemed holy shit? What the power supplies built in?
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, oh my god, there's not a power adaptor. That's
fucking wild.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Yeah, it was just a power cord that comes out
to two prong.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
What power supply? I gotta look, I gotta find the
Does I fix it have a breakdown of it already?
Speaker 3 (38:48):
I don't know. I just saw that they they had
approached I fixed.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
It, was saying that they want to they want to
continue doing.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
A partnership with them.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
So I don't know if they even have anything up yet.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Was it actual? It's actual named.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Steam steam Machine? Oh they do? They? Fuck? They already
have a teardown? Do they really? No?
Speaker 3 (39:17):
I have an older one on here that.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
I yeah, that's what I'm trying to see. If it's
thirteen is the old one? I saw? Google said tear down? There?
Are you fucking shitting me? I didn't again, Like.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
I didn't even know they had a tear down for
the old controller.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
I see a tear down for the original controller, Like
I know that it's probably something. It might have been
something that Steam did them or notem I fix It
did themselves, because that's what they do. They do teardowns
of stuff and let you know how to fix things
and what the repair ability is.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
But uh, he's all from twenty thirteen.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Yeah, so it'll probably be closer to launch that they
actually will have parts and repair.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Guys available for it.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Yeah, they'll probably you have hardware to do it. Let's
see if I can do. Maybe maybe Google will give
me the image I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
But it'll be interesting to see how much of this
is priced as well, because they didn't really hit at
The only thing I remember seeing someone mentioned was that
again they don't think that Steam's going to be excuse me,
Valive is going to be subsidizing any of this stuff
with what they make in hardware or software sales. So
it could be something that will run somewhere around like the.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Seven day one hundred dollars range.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
So it'd be interesting to see if this you know
what this cost is, because this is something I could
definitely again, I wanted the thought of getting away from
some some devices and whatnot and moving to something that's
a bit more open source but like still usable and
you know game yeah, game focus. But it'd be interesting
(41:05):
to like replace an Apple TV with this. It's way
more powerful and it doesn't have the media features for it.
But I feel like it's a matter of time before
it does get like the ability to do.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Netflix streaming or Apple TV streaming.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
It's just because that's those are just apps that you
could put on to a store.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Yeah, then just have it work. So it is the
micro SD card up front, by the way, Yeah, so
too used to be a's the micro and then the
other two a's and the sea are on the back.
I found I found the picture of the fan I
was looking at what I was looking for. Yeah, yeah,
so you're right, And the case does come apart because
(41:44):
there's two hex screws on the back, so that probably the.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
Case replacement for it, And do what.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
You want so that d brand might actually be close
to what it looks like. Yeah, but I would love
to do a fucking deep thought one on it that
so rad just have it sitting on your desk right
next to you, all gold and ship mm hmm, and
then it's like oh yeah, yeah, sure that.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
You could literally commission somebody to do something like that.
I'm sure take much more than maybe, you know, whatever
they view their time is worth plus materials, and materials
probably wouldn't be that much. Maybe I don't know, but
time to design might be a little bit more expensive.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
I'll just float it out there when it when the
machine comes out, and they're like, oh, I really wish
someone if there was this, then someone will make it
and then don't have to worry about commissioning them money exactly right.
Just fucking find our maker's thing or whatever. What's that called?
Speaker 3 (42:36):
The the website for the big one. There's a there's
a few big ones, but I know there's one that
we've used to work before.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
And I can't remember what it's called now makers something right.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
Maker I think is actually the name of a certain printer. Well,
at least it's the name. If it's a partial name
of some printers. Well, yeah, I was facing on it too.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
It's long play scrolling through it.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Because I was looking for, like I said, we have
a three D printer at work so that we can
print out little things here and there, and I was
looking for graphics card holders and memory holders and stuff
like that. LTT even has like some of their CPU
holders on there. That's where we got those. Uh oh,
(43:28):
it's not Thingaverse.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
Principles, Principles.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
It might be there might be a couple of them.
There's one used to use all the time at Microsoft
because thing averse has is one of them. Yeah, Principles
is the other.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
One, and I know there's like one or two more.
I just can't think of it.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Make your World that's what it was, Make your World.
I believe that's the one we used to use, and
it was make or something rather but on there. I
believe it's on make your World, Make your World. You
can go on and be like, hey, does anybody have
an idea how to do this? And people will literally
throw up specs and you can just take them, throw
(44:12):
them in and then make make stuff right away. That's cool.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
I don't know if they still do it anymore, because
I think there's probably like people got upset about.
Speaker 2 (44:25):
I could definitely see that being like, oh, you're you know,
you're not paying the people to you know, make stuff
for you and it takes a lot and blah blah
blah blah.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
It's like I get it, Yeah, but if then don't
put it up there, if you don't want people to take.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
It for freely.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
How someone made It's a work in progress, it says,
but it looks to be damn near done. A one
to one replica of a Stargate dial home device. That's
that giant the thing that you hit the different things on,
(45:01):
Oh my god, and then you'd hit the center and
it would glow red.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
That's up on printables if you scroll down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Three D printed a computer case. Oh yeah, what the fuck, dude,
that's wild.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Actually, the one I said I see on here is
literally from cooler Master. Well, it says cooler Master.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
It probably uses their specs to put their stuff in.
Someone made a go kart.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Yeah, I don't doubt that. Like, there's a lot of cool. Wow,
there's a lot of cool stuff on here. If you
really had like a good three D printer, you could
really do nice stuff. Who does Borderlands?
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Gearbox?
Speaker 3 (45:46):
Gearbox? They have fixed masks on here that you can print.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
My senior at work had one of them, had his
brother print out one of them, and he showed me
a picture of it, and it's like that it's really
nice because his brother has like one of the really
high end like switches between color uh filaments printers and
it's really nice looking.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
Wow mm hmm. How the fuck you? Three D print
of waffle iron?
Speaker 3 (46:24):
I saw that too, but I didn't click on it,
but I was like, what the hell is that?
Speaker 1 (46:29):
It doesn't even look real.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
Up for little bakers and big parent makers. Maybe it's.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
That's why it does look real. Yeah, okay, stupid asses.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
If you scroll down a little bit under the community articles,
if the dial home device shows.
Speaker 1 (46:48):
Up for you, uh, we're under community.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
Yeah, I have to scroll down a little bit. At
least I'm on their website. I don't know how their
their mobile app looks.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
I just want to the community tab. Uh no, let
me go. Was it on the front page.
Speaker 3 (47:07):
Yeah, I didn't go anywhere. It was just on the homepage.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
If you search for if you search for like one
to one one slash one DHD.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
I'm trying to see if it pulls up from me here. Uh,
don't see it on the mobile site?
Speaker 6 (47:35):
The fuck is that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (47:38):
Design contest for cooler Master?
Speaker 6 (47:41):
Interesting?
Speaker 2 (47:43):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (47:43):
Search for you take screenshots said one slash one Yeah, one.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
One forward slash one DHD. Mm hm hmmm, we're share
their share share messages.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
Yeah, I'm figuring out technology. I just texted it, texted
the website.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Well that's not how you that Brown Joseph. Oh my god,
it's so big.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
Yeah, it's like legit life size.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
Does he have lights in it?
Speaker 3 (48:34):
I don't know. Like I'm looking through it.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
It looks like it has cutouts to go below its lights.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
He says, at least it's a work in progress. I mean, yeah,
I would say that. Probably going to have it laid up.
Speaker 1 (48:55):
Oh oh my god, zooming on that is fucking terrible.
That base alone must have taken forever to print. How
many pieces is that?
Speaker 3 (49:06):
I know? Right?
Speaker 1 (49:08):
That has to be modular, right, there's no way he
printed that.
Speaker 3 (49:11):
Oh no, it's it's definitely modular. Like I you see
the square sections?
Speaker 1 (49:15):
Oh I see him? Okay, yeah, it's hard. Like on
the phone, it's so hard to fuck you can't zoom
in properly. So fucking mobile site is trash can because
it does have.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
The lines and design of the DHD. But then you
can see the different squares of like, Okay, this is
this is a section that I printed. This is a
section that I printed. He does say at some point
in here that he thinks that he might go over
those lines with some putty and.
Speaker 3 (49:45):
Filler with filler and then spray everything.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
I think it's kind of cool with the different patches
of material or whatever. And obviously the holes were either
a screw or a actor piece has to go would
need to be covered up if you really wanted it
to be aesthetic. But yeah, it does look like the middle,
like where the tiles go. It looks like it has
openings for like a light to go in there.
Speaker 6 (50:12):
For sure, is he using screws?
Speaker 3 (50:19):
This article is so bare on what he's actually like,
how he's actually designed it.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
And made it. I'm surprised this got in a fucking
YouTube page or something too. Let's see yeah right, oh,
that's just share links. I would love to see more.
And then he says, what is stopping you? This is amazing.
(50:49):
I'm trying to see if you get the comments anything.
Speaker 3 (50:53):
I don't see anything either. That'd be really cool.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
M mm hmmmmm interesting.
Speaker 3 (51:13):
Indeed, anyway, the things that you find on principles.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, side tracks, I know, right side tracks.
Speaker 3 (51:27):
But how much would the game the GameCube be for
you to get it?
Speaker 2 (51:31):
I know that you've been thinking about a while for
building your own PC, I know this this would be
necessarily the same, it won't necessarily and to be quite frank,
it's not going to give you the fidelity.
Speaker 3 (51:42):
Of of like a higher end gaming PC.
Speaker 1 (51:45):
Inslects of this thing.
Speaker 3 (51:46):
Are squarely in the mid maybe mid tier of gaming.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
I would want this to be a conso a TV console,
not a computer, you know what.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
I mean, And that that's where I could see it
definitely being.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
Yeah, that's that's where I would want it. And I
would say, like a thousand dollars would be like, that's
like the perfect price even for the five twelve because
you can buy a micro SD card and pop it
in there. But also like, I'm not gonna store all
the games on there all the time, right, so I'm
gonna play I'm gonna play a game like in the
like for the most part. I mean, I can't imagine
(52:21):
the Steam games are fucking that big. Anyways, Well, sorry
you can't play other yeah, but so you can't play
other games on there. Yeah, but still like call.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
Duey is still fittable, you know, Like like you said,
you're you're thinking of the way of doing things like
I do. Like I if I'm not actively playing a game,
it's not on my my system. If I'm actively playing it,
then then it's on there. The only game that will
probably forever sit on my system is probably Cyberpunk, and
that's just because every once.
Speaker 3 (52:49):
In a while I get the itch.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
It just like I'm gonna jump back there and just
they updated every once in a while, and you're like,
all right, I'm just gonna jump back in and see
how things are, drive around a little bit, and do
a few things. Other than that, Like one I finish
a game, yeah, it's to leave it off my system.
So I don't really And obviously we have We are
unlike a lot of other people out there where we
have access to fiber Internet, and it literally takes maybe
(53:14):
ten ten twenty minutes to download an eighty gigabyte game,
which I.
Speaker 3 (53:19):
Do think is rather funny. It was a I don't
know if I've remember mentioned this before.
Speaker 2 (53:23):
It was something I was talking to somebody at work
about and they were like, yeah, you know, when Borderlands
came out. I got home because he was super excited
to play it, and he's like, I just I hit
download and then I went and did some stuff for
three hours, and I was like three hours. It took
you three hours to download that? And then I realized like,
oh right, Like I literally downloaded what was the last
(53:44):
game that, like Residue Evil or something like that, which
was like thirty gigabytes. Yeah, I hit download and was like, oh,
it's gonna take twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (53:53):
God go, this is ridiculous minutes.
Speaker 2 (53:57):
And it's like, oh yeah, I have gigabit Internet, like
and he has. He lives in an apartment built complex,
so he he's got whatever Cox gives him, and so
I think he has like three hundred meg or something
like that.
Speaker 3 (54:12):
So yeah, he was like, yeah, it took him like
an hour or to download.
Speaker 1 (54:16):
A new game.
Speaker 3 (54:17):
I was just like, ah, I forgot about that.
Speaker 1 (54:20):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 3 (54:21):
That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (54:24):
Also, if he's so excited, why doesn't you have that
pre downloaded?
Speaker 2 (54:27):
You could literally just be like oh, yeah, I'm just
going to download the game, you know, real quick, and
it'll take ten twenty minutes download.
Speaker 1 (54:34):
But if he's so excited about playing, why didn't you
have it pre downloaded? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (54:39):
I don't know if Steam, because uh, he played on
played on PC.
Speaker 1 (54:44):
You can they steam like PC pre downloaded like two
days before then.
Speaker 3 (54:50):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (54:51):
All I know is what he If he's listening, you're
a fucking loser.
Speaker 3 (54:56):
Dangn he's probably not listening.
Speaker 1 (54:57):
Okay, well he's still a fucking loser.
Speaker 3 (55:00):
Fair enough.
Speaker 1 (55:00):
Get your fucking shit together, especially with your ship Internet.
Speaker 3 (55:04):
Oh my god, I'll mention it. I'll mention it next
time that something like that comes up.
Speaker 2 (55:09):
Uh, because you're right, like, I don't know what what
what person that that you pre Maybe he didn't pre
order it.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
Maybe he bought it the same day because he wasn't
like doing pre orders.
Speaker 1 (55:21):
Maybe, I mean, there was no real incentive other than
like some cosmetics in a fucking bullshit thing. Oh by
the way, so I don't know if I told you
about this. I was borderline ready to boycott Borderlands when
it when it when I got to level fifty. So
when you pre order it, which I did like the
night before. But anyways, because I was like, well, I'm
(55:41):
gonna spend this money anyways, it's not any extra I'm
gonna get cosmetics and whatever. Fucking the those loot the
fucking legendary stuff they give you whatever, right, which I
know is gonna be garbage. For the most part, but whatever,
because I'm gonna spend the money mine as we'll get
it the day before and get the freebies.
Speaker 3 (55:59):
Mm hm.
Speaker 1 (55:59):
So anyway, so I played through the game, right, I
got to level fifty finally endgame, blah blah blah. I
was like, cool, I'm gonna go open this fucking drop
that's in there. Yeah. So the drop is uh intended
for you to open it right away because it has
four items, and those four items are level locked to
(56:23):
a certain level. So as you progress through the game,
you can use one of them, and then you progress further,
you use another one, you progress further, you get another one,
and then the last one.
Speaker 2 (56:32):
And I was like, you waited this whole entire time
and then basically got like a blue or a green,
a blue.
Speaker 3 (56:38):
A purple, and a goal.
Speaker 1 (56:39):
Well they were all gold. They're all legendary. But I'm
saying in that like, yes, that.
Speaker 2 (56:44):
That quality now is like, well, this is useless, this
is useless, this is useless, And I guess this is
the okay thing there.
Speaker 1 (56:52):
Yeah, Like there was one that was the level like
fifteen twenty something, thirty something in fifty, and I was like,
fucking garbage.
Speaker 3 (57:04):
Yeah, I know the loot is is something that a
lot of people complained about.
Speaker 1 (57:08):
Well, I still have the same complaint I've had forever
is the fact that it still drops stuff for that
are that are for certain vault hunders that you're not using,
so I'll get a legendary drop, like yes, legendary drop
walk over, not for my character. I was like, why,
why why.
Speaker 2 (57:24):
Single player game is a single player game? I mean, yes,
you can do multiplayer and whatnot that you're playing a single.
Speaker 1 (57:30):
Player, but it should drop stuff for you.
Speaker 2 (57:32):
Like That's what I'm saying, Like, this is a game
that could be played with multiple people but also alone. Yeah,
why are you dropping stuff for other character types that
you're not playing?
Speaker 1 (57:44):
Well? Not just like okay, so yes you can have
all those characters like on your account, right, but it
should know a I don't have any of those unlocked
at all. I have one character on this account. Mm hm,
I don't have another one, So why are you giving
me stuff for a character I don't even have unlocked?
Speaker 3 (58:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (58:05):
It's like, dude, what the fuck? Man?
Speaker 3 (58:07):
Because it's just artificial filmo.
Speaker 1 (58:09):
It's just.
Speaker 3 (58:11):
You know, gotta keep grinding to get get to get
the stuff.
Speaker 2 (58:15):
That you want, which I still don't understand because it's
a single player game, Like, once I finish the story,
there's there's ostensibly unless you're gonna release DLC or something
they are, but what what's going to keep me here
to continue to grind stuff?
Speaker 3 (58:29):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (58:30):
Yeah, and there's not enough like there's I haven't played
it in like a week, but because all I get
on there to do is basically is kill bosses at
a higher level so I can move up the Vault
Hunt Ultimate Vault Under mode. But like even then, you're
not getting better drops or drop rates from apparently what
everyone's saying. Uh, And the guns don't get any better
on like stats on them from Vault hunder one to
(58:51):
Vault Hunder five. The enemies just take more damage. I
was like, okay, but like, uh, when I was playing
and I would, you know, i'd get whatever to like endgame,
you can farm bosses because they have dedicated drops for items, right,
so once you get them, and then like the other
(59:12):
thing people are running are trying to grind for a phosphorus,
which is an unlockable skin. The gun is exactly the same.
The difference is the skin is unlocked to look different
so it has a phosphorus like this new design or
whatever its shiny weapons basically, and then once you unlock it,
you can use that skin on any variation of that weapon.
So if it is a weapon that has different variations
(59:35):
to it, like it could have corrosive versus electrical or
whatever rate, and you have a better version of it
that is better than the phosphorus one, you can then
make that one look phosphorus by applying that skin, because
that unlocks it across to your account, which is fine whatever,
but the drop rate on is like super hard, and
I'm like, that is the dumbest thing in the world.
(59:58):
That is not endgame. Much like most games nowadays, their
end game is not really an end game. It's what's
an end game because it makes me want not want
to play the game anymore, But it's not really like
anything to really keep me playing after the game is over,
because like there's nothing left, Like, oh cool, I can
keep killing this boss over and over again to get
the same weapon a better version of it, but I'm like,
(01:00:20):
once I do get a better version that I like better,
I don't have to play that boss anymore. And even
their Halloween event, which by the way wasn't running during Halloweens.
Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
I didn't even hear about it.
Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Yeah, it was cool because they released this really fun
garnade called Scully and it's literally a skull and when
you throw the grenade, it floats in the air and
goes after bad guys and shoots and lasers out of
his eyes. Okay, yeah, it's pretty and it's actually it's
a pretty decent grenade too, because it does explode and
it hits them. Not a huge explosion, but it literally
(01:00:53):
will track and shoot them from like super far away
and then hit them and explode as it gets closer.
Super fun grenade. Plus it's awesome because like it kind
of tells you where bad guys are because they's turning
and shooting and like, oh, there's a bad guy over there.
But the other funny thing too, and I don't know,
I think this is more unintentional but still hilarious. Uh
is uh It will continue shooting a dead body when
(01:01:16):
there's no other bad guys around, so you literally see
this body of like are what the stain where body
used to? Because a lot of times it explodes because
that's what Borlands does, and it's just relentlessly shooting the
ground where the stain is at. It makes me laugh
every single time, but it's pretty It's a pretty fun
grenade because you get like two charges. And if I
rebuild my Rafa build, I guess there's a skill you
(01:01:38):
can unlock where he automatically throws a secondary grenade every time.
So two charges of the grenade is technically four charges
because he can throw. When he throws one out, a
second grenade comes out. I haven't unlocked that one because
I would have to go back through and do it,
and I'm just lazy. But yeah, the Halloween event was
only the weekend before Halloween. Yeah, so it is. And
(01:02:00):
even during Halloween, I was like why why not?
Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
Also, why is it what?
Speaker 4 (01:02:07):
It was?
Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
Only like, actually, I can tell you right now, hold
on how long it was? It wasn't It was only
like maybe a week long. Yeah, it should have been
all I know why because there was nothing much to
it at all. UH had a name? What would they
call it? Hold on Halloween event? Oh? Did it run? Oh?
(01:02:38):
Maybe it ran longer than I thought, or maybe I
just got everything and didn't real But it was called
the Horrors of Cairos.
Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
It says here it ran from October twenty third November
sixth I don't remember it running that long though it
had a gun and had a skull or a helmet.
Thing was like a pumpkin, like a Jack lanner with
a hatchet hanging out. It was pretty cool. I actually
still have my character because it's pretty wicked looking. And
(01:03:06):
then had the grenade which is called Scully, which is
hilarious nice, and it was supposed to rain blood, but
I don't remember ever really doing that. Maybe it was
during the boss fight if it was raining blood there,
but yeah, during boss fight encounters, I to scroll down
and see it a chance to earn two legendary items,
the Murmur Assault Rifle and the Scully grenade. Skull grenade
(01:03:29):
is definitely the best one. I don't even if I
got the Murmur Assault rifle because like it was, you
had to go and find a boss event and then
a shift code for the Jack o Lantern, which is
supposed to look like basically handsome Jack with his bolted
on face and a Jack lantern look to it with
like I said, with a hatchet sticking out or a

machete sticking out, which is pretty cool. I think that's
all it was yeah, it's so and it was, like
I said, it didn't run very long, and I was like,
this is stupid. But then he gets free content whatever, right,

bucks on it, so who you get a little bit more?

all I wanted to talk about.
Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
