visit the website grand -con .com Hello and welcome

to altered geek unlimited episode 53 we are live

for the first time And if you're watching or

watching this later than when it was live or

you're listening to the podcast format of it

Then it is live via tape delay So at least you'll

get to hear that. I am your sometimes host, Michael

Powers, and I am joined by the host that's always

been here for 53 episodes, right? Where you going

for one? Yep, other than one episode, I think.

Okay, fine. The host for 52 other episodes, Steve

Megatron Phillips. How you doing, Steve? What

is up? Not much, not much. Still recovering from

the... Don't want to say well. Yeah, I'll say

epic fun. That was had Doing off the cuff live

last night, which was I think pretty fun. I Actually

watched the the video Now see I'm I'm torn With

what to do with it Well, well because what happens

is I have all the guys positioned in such a way

that you're not well kind of like I'm kind of

breaking my Own rule right now. You're not supposed

to sit dead on with the camera Okay, and the

idea being that If you wanted to download said

video from YouTube to edit it you have space

to put a graphic or Something to in the dead

space next to the person so insert, you know

Kermit the Frog here Yeah nice poke so that's

what that that that actually turned out awesome

because it was a png with the invisible background

so it looked like he was right there with you

that was actually kind of funny when that that

was in the video i was like oh that's different

so um but i'm torn between just shooting the

show because it immediately gets posted to youtube

when this is done it'll immediately go up on

youtube in an archive and you can choose to make

it private so people can't see it until you're

done tweaking it Or you can just throw it up

there and let it go unedited And that's what

I did with the first episode of off the cuff

live as I just threw it up there unedited. It's

a kitty She did this to me on my altered geek

unleashed Revival episode I was talking in mid

conversation and the cat comes up and starts

doing this to me Stop talking So yeah, it gets

thrown up there But you can mark it as private

and you can download a video file to your computer

to edit it to add in graphics and whatnot so

I'm I'm torn between wanting to do that and Then

just getting it up as soon as possible Like one

is like minimum minimal fuss It's hard to keep

the straight face and this cat's doing that so

what one is minimal fuss the other one requires

a little bit of work on on my end mainly that

i have to find time to sit down and because i

want the video file to go up but i want it to

be up for like a week before the audio file goes

up um which is what's going to happen but i feel

like if there's a delay in posting the video

by even like a day or two then that idea is like

shot because i don't have the time to like If

I want to mess with video I'm gonna want to do

like a pretty good job and find good art to go

in in the negative space that's in all of our

shots so like if we're talking about Grand Theft

Auto 5 and we don't want to find some funny picture

that has to do with Grand Theft Auto 5 you know

and So we'll see what we'll see what happens

with that, but that's just something I'm kind

of toying with and I've got us all you know geared

up and Some of us didn't have very good cameras.

Joe had like some ancient 90s era early 2000

era camera which is why he was in four by three

and the tetris god music yep that was his cell

phone going that literally happened as soon as

we hit the record button that was hilarious it

I wish I hadn't locked the camera to myself because

it was pretty funny seeing all the reactions

across the bottom but It was it was good times

just gonna have to see what happens I mean we

didn't we had one person that said they were

watching live but they didn't feel like you know

commenting on anything like that and like I said

the Being able to pull the comments into the

live Stream is something that I'm going to work

on there's a way to do it, but it's very cumbersome.

It's like you have to reshare You have to reshare

the event link and then people can only comment

on On Google Plus That's like it won't it won't

it won't pull in the it. There's a way to pull

in the YouTube comments, too But I'm not familiar

with all that stuff. Yeah, I just wanted to work

on getting it actually up on the air and People

can tweet us their questions while we're live

on the air. They can either tweet me at See look

I did a lower third this time you can tweet me

at at booth engine 81 or you can tweet Steve

at SCP 21 Yep, at SCP -21 there. Steve, you started

your video show back up. What have you been doing?

I've been toying around with Adobe Premiere,

trying to learn how to do it all again considering

I haven't actually done any real video editing

since I had media class at community college

and we used Final Cut Pro 7. Which is very similar

except I had to learn how to use a Mac at the

same time which wasn't too bad, but a lot of

that information came in handy for using Premiere

I just had to figure out the right way to do

it because I remade the the intro with new graphics

and then I remade the outro with new graphics

which on The the first episode I wasn't quite

happy with how the images turned out so I redid

them again The outro so I actually made a separate

intro outro and made another one for The second

episode that I'm going to shoot soon ish Okay,

so Now I Don't want to jump the gun here, but

you actually we did He can you show the banner

for grand con or is it too big? Yeah, I Funny

thing enough I checked multiple local graphics

places and like one wanted 90, one wanted 75,

one wanted like 80 something Staples .com was

my best friend Hey look at that, that's a banner

for Grand Con And it's actually bigger than what

I anticipated. And it's got the QR code. Well,

that makes me happy, because now we won't look

like a bunch of hobos sitting at a table. I know.

Well, plus, I mean, this only was like 25, which

isn't squat. I could have easily pissed that

away. But it's got grommets in it. and a little

bit heavier duty vinyl. I wasn't, I mean it's

not super heavy duty, but it was better than

the original option that was selected. So, it

actually was like 14, and then with all the additions

it was like 25. So, but yeah, it'll look nice

this year instead of that printed out piece of

paper that says GCRN. Like what we had last year.

Right. Last year I have fun last year, but we

didn't know what to expect And now we're going

into it knowing what to expect knowing what to

expect yeah, we didn't have a clue what was going

on last year at Grand Con and It was it was strange

and then plus I had I had flyers which We're

okay, but this year we're gonna have some CDs

with mp3s of various podcast episodes and um

probably the band those flyers if they're still

relevant um right i don't remember what they

look like so i actually have to dig them back

out is that the end to darkness poster i gave

you yes okay when mary put it up the first time

the funny thing was that she put it out backwards

and i didn't realize that the image was on both

sides oh yeah And so the Star Trek Into Darkness

was written backwards. And she's like, that's

retarded. Why would they put it on there backwards?

And she actually had it on a different wall.

And I looked at it and I'm like, okay. And I

took it off the wall to move it. And then I realized

it was on both sides and moved it. Little tidbit

for most people, beyond the size of a movie poster,

an actual, what I'll call an official movie poster

is actually double -sided. So just like you said

the image is printed on the back too, but it's

in it's like backwards so like most movie most

Movie posters you might see some people have

they get like out of Walmart out of like the

poster bin Like it'll look like the movie poster,

but when you look at the back of it, it'll all

just be white Actual movie posters don't look

that way the the image kind of I want to say

like bleeds through because it's it's not like

it's not like fuzzy or anything it's like it's

like they printed it on both sides yep exactly

so that's something to to to think about if everyone

if everyone someone's trying to sell you a movie

poster and they say it's you know 100 legit official

um asked to see the back side of it and then

contemplate how much money they're asking you

for so yep um i i brought some a couple things

to show for the live show that i thought might

be neat um if i run out of stuff i got into well

we all know that i like legos um and one of my

favorite things when i started really getting

back into them i started like i like legos as

a kid and i have like lego sets there now in

my garage but i've got like i used to buy lego

sets and cannibalize them to create um Like different

Lego sets like I got really into like the diver

series that they released in the late 90s and

so like I made an entire giant like It's like

a catamaran diving vessel nice what has like

And I took all the subs and they all have like

their own cranes and I made this like crane structure

It's it's a really cool set and I've had it for

15 years now. It's been together and I you know

that's in the garage I have no place to display

it it's kind of kind of big and it doesn't look

very nice like it's definitely made by me 15

years ago but I really got into Legos again in

the last five five years now wow feels like it's

been forever Since like 2009 like when Lego introduced

their architecture series. I really got into

that because I like architecture and I like Legos

and One of the interesting things that they did

is they created like and I love skyscrapers.

So like they've got This is the Burj. I never

know how to pronounce the name of this the Burj

Khalifa from Dubai the world tower It's kind

of neat has down at the bottom a custom little...

I've seen some of those type things like that

before in the store. Yeah, I like the architecture

series because it's kind of... you get the...

and like I said, I like the skyscrapers. I have

the... my mom was in Chicago with my sister and

she got me the Sears Tower before they renamed

it the Willis Tower. So I have the the Sears

tower architecture set and it and the nameplate

says Sears and the new one They still make it

but now it says Willis. Yeah, I've seen the one

that says Willis. Yeah that I I'm always like

contemplating buying that set again just so I

can have both But that's that And then there's

the set that I got for my birthday Which pardon

me while I scoot back in my chair here this bad

boy oh wow as you can see it's rather large yeah

right in the camera staring right at you it's

got this little thing on the back of it you twist

it oh oh what's happening whoa behold the magic

of Technic Legos That's pretty awesome I used

to have the Sith infiltrator back in the day

Now see I have the this is called the ultimate

collector series is what Lego calls this when

I was a kid They used to have a series called

model team. I Don't know if you're familiar with

that Hmm, but it's a series called model team

and it's basically the same idea only they had

Massive sets and there was like a Porsche a Ferrari

a Oh, hey comment Scanner from scanner 51 Watching

you guys do the do the live show way to go Thank

You scanner 51 Yes, thank you But there was the

model team sets. Anyways, they were kind of like

the Ultimate Collector series. It was a literal

set where you had to build every single piece

of the set. It wasn't like most LEGO sets where

some of it's like partially assembled. You had

to build every single little piece and I was

too little to obviously have something like that.

But now that I'm older, I'm more interested in

the Ultimate Collector series stuff. And I have

another one. It's another Star Wars one. It's

the B -Wing, which is my favorite Star Wars vehicle.

um maybe later while Steve's entertaining you

guys i'll go out in the other room and grab it

real quick and show it off but uh i also have

the i also started collecting the lego star wars

back in 1999 when they first came out and i had

the lego b -wing so i've got my little cheap

-ass lego b -wing set from 1999 sitting next

to my this ginormous ultimate collector's set

Edition of the b -wing and it's just a really

funny juxtaposition It's like how you make it

really cheaply out of Legos and here's how you

make it really detailed out of Legos and I wanted

to do the same thing with the x -wing because

I had the x -wing from 1999 as well and I went

over to my parents house to get the x -wing and

my little brother had taken it apart and not

only like not like Not taking it apart like in

pieces where it's like I could put it back together

like tore down two individual pieces like Could

not put it back together. I was Livid to say

the least I have I have two Lego creations still

well technically three One of them was the I

don't know if you remember the space like the

black and the kind of what was it black tron

is it like is it black with like a yellow or

a yellow triangle it didn't have that it's it's

like a robot that's about nine ten inches tall

and it's gonna head that comes off of it and

you can take like this little rover that fits

into the back and put it on top And it's got

like these levers for where you can lock the

arms in place. And it's got a magnet on one end.

Oh, oh, I know what that is. It's um, oh my gosh.

I can't remember the name of it. I've had that

for years. Magnetron? What is it? Magnetron?

I know what set that is. Oh my gosh. I still

have it though. I think it's Magnetron. And I'm

not stupid, I know that sounds like the dumbest

name, but they had their space sets for like

Blacktron, Magnetron, Ultron was even one of

their space Lego sets. By the way, just real

quick here, Scanner 51. He asks would Twitter

be the only way to interact with you guys while

on live no live comment thing on YouTube You

can comment on YouTube scanner Steve may get

an email We haven't quite figured out how to

get The comments to stream in so we can see them

live in the show without having to go to another

party for it So we recommended Twitter because

we both have our phones right next to us and

can grab that stuff really fast um we'll we'll

work on that i i'm kind of the one pushing for

like the live show and stuff like that so i kind

of put it on myself to figure out how all this

works um but that's coming that's coming this

is all work in progress we've only done two two

and a half live shows so yeah i mean eventually

we'll we'll figure it out and i'm sure so if

you guys have if but if you have any questions

or anything or want to interact with your opinions

you can go ahead and uh do that um Let's see.

So what's the other Lego set that you have? Yeah,

um, it's another space ish one and it's it's

black and orange It was like years later that

it came out hmm That might be after I that might

be in that dark period where I wasn't paying

attention to what Lego was doing There was a

dark period after they started licensing like

everything that was like popular like Harry Potter

and stuff like that Where I just stopped paying

attention to what they were doing But this Actually,

I think in time for Thursday's episode the next

episode of off the cuff live. I'll have the tumbler.

Oh I can't wait to see what that looks like.

Yeah, I'm excited to see that because I think

It's actually it's supposed to come out on September

1st, but I was told when I went down to the Lego

store to get well my birthday presents uh they

said they were going to release it early for

lego vip members and i'm a lego vip member so

it's supposed to come out on the 18th so hopefully

i'll be my plan is to go pick it up on monday

and build it while i'm at work on monday night

oh that'd be awesome so i'm i'm excited i'm excited

for that and if i have it i will definitely show

it off uh on next week's off or sorry not off

the cuff uh alter geek unlimited so But that's

about all I brought for show and tell. Unfortunately,

do we have any feedback from last week's episode

queued up? Actually, I do. I think we're getting

bombarded with tweets here. Bombarded? What's

that like? He took a Tonka truck to the X -Wing?

No, he did not take a Tonka truck to the X -Wing.

By all accounts, he says that he took it outside.

My brother said he took the X -Wing outside and

apparently between taking it outside and bringing

it back in he ended up breaking it down to its

core pieces. Maybe really sad. Not sad, mad.

I've never wanted to kill anybody until that

moment. It's still bothering me. I'm trying to

figure out what the heck this Lego set is that

I have. I can't for the life of me. It's like

it's a partner that that 1990s Slash 80s space

ish program. I Found a picture of it, but not

with the name and not in the box I'll have to

throw that in there in the you know, you can

do a screen share Yeah, I haven't quit freak

one out yet, so that's not it's not that tough

to do It's the Spiris. Yes! RoboGuardian Spiris.

I have that. Okay. The other one I still haven't

found the picture of yet to show off. Is it the

Megatron? Was I wrong about that? It's black

and orange. It came out years later after this

era of the space. Oh, okay. Now we're on the

same page. See I'm not on my computer, so I don't

I'm on my computer, but not on my Mac partition

So I don't have access to all my bookmarks. I

Have a great site for Legos for fans of Legos

that I can maybe send you and you can put it

in the Yeah, cuz the Robo Guardian is the Spyrus

which I still have it's space three hundred twenty

space sets here also i don't know it yes it was

it was in there with it's the uh... because it's

under the six ugly space legos do we know what

year was uh... so trying to figure out uh...

i'd pulled it up on the google images robo raider

it might be uh... Aw, my Spyrus one is on the

ugliest list. Robo Stalker? It's the Spyrus of

the Robo Guardians in 94, and then this one is

the Robo Stalker. Yep, I'm looking at it right

now. I have both. Man. I love those LEGO sets.

I can't believe I still have them, but I really

do like those a lot. So while we're on the topic

of Legos, I have a very heartwarming tale to

tell about Legos and, you know, my best friend

that I've had for 20, 20 some odd years, like

24 years now. When we were kids, Lego had this

space series called Ice Planet 2000. all the

Lego sets were blue and white and black and orange

and they came with skis because they were you

know on the ice planet well my friend had this

one where it was like a off -roading type big

monster thing with a magnet and it had like a

giant missile on the back of it and I was like

when we were kids I was like hey can I borrow

this and he was like yeah you can go ahead and

borrow it he never got it back I ended up it

ended up in with all the rest of my Legos broken

down into little pieces and everything and you

know, it's He was upset with me at the time,

but we kind of got over it and two years ago

for his birthday, I went on eBay and found that

set and I bought it for him and gave it to him

for his had it sent to him for his birthday and

It wasn't like a sealed set or anything. It was

like someone had it from when they were a kid

and it came to him. It got sent to him in a Ziploc

baggie with the instructions and all the pieces.

And the first thing he sent to me was, he thanked

me for it like crazy. He said, this is like the

best thing ever. And then he goes, did you sort

all this? Did you go and find all these pieces?

He asked me, he's like, did you just buy the

instruction manual and go and find all the pieces

in your Legos? And I could have said, Yes, that's

what I did, but I didn't. I told him that I bought

it, but he got it back. You know, some 22 years

later, he got that Lego set back and he has it

on his desk at work. He sends me pictures of

it all the time. Nice. That's probably like one

of the most sentimental things I've ever done

outside of asking my wife to marry me and then

following through with it. I think, I don't know

if it's going to work, but I have the YouTube

page pulled up on a separate tab, so TFG1Mike

put in there eight minutes ago. He took a tanker

truck to the X -Wing, which he also posted on

Twitter. Yeah, well, we can pull up the YouTube

thing, but it won't refresh in real time. It's

crap. And it also interferes with showing you

how many people are viewing because you count

as a viewer. That's weird. Yeah, we'll have to

figure that out. We'll get it figured out one

of these days. Scanner 51 says, again, he says,

gentlemen, what's on the bookshelves behind you?

Oh, here we go. Want to go first? The fun part.

You go first. OK. The entire wall behind me,

once I figure out what direction I have to turn,

all of that, that's about... It's about a third

of my movie collection. And mind you, there's

another shelf down lower next to the red bucket

that's down there. I have an entire five -shelf

bookshelf filled with DVDs, some of them overlapping

and then some of them not. Each section is categorized.

as strange as that may be, by TV show, comedy,

Adam Sandler films, SNL films, drama, horror,

thriller, action. The other set of that is out

in the living room, and then I have more that

are on an external drive. And then that's my

old computer chair in the background. that I

can't seem to move out of the way of. Are you

having trouble because your camera's reversed?

It could be. Well, no, I'm actually in the right

direction. It's just... Okay, because I was going

to say, I did the thing where I flipped it so

my lower third is backwards to me, and that helps

me know which way I'm leaning in the camera.

Yeah, see, if I turn on my lower third, I can

actually move in the correct direction. Yeah,

the reverse thing. But that's what I had I had

it so I can see the words the correct direction

Which is if you hit the little error that back

arrow to flip it around and everything should

look the right way It won't flip it for you.

It was flipped it for It won't flip it for the

audience. They'll just flip it for everybody

else On my side first of all those aren't my

books My wife buys books the way that I buy video

games Which means I don't think she's read...

She's read less than half of those, I think.

She's in the next room, so she charges in here

saying something about the amount of books that

she reads. That's on me. Up at the top, she was...

Well, first of all, this entire bookshelf...

I'm actually in her room. This is what we call

my green room. It's the green room for our house.

This is her room. This is where she games. So

this bookshelf is all hers, but she was nice

enough to give me a couple spots on it. I have

a Lego firehouse up at the top. That's too big

to actually like move down here comfortably.

I have the Lego architecture White House up at

the top. Oh nice. Up there. Behind that I have

the Uncharted 3 collector set, which is basically

an armoire with a belt buckle and a drake necklace

and stuff like that in it. I have, you'll see

the Batman trilogy, blu -ray trilogy up at the

top. Okay. Followed by the some anniversary edition

of the Wizard of Oz on blu -ray, which looks

fantastic. And then behind that is the Lost collection

on blu -ray, which I bought and never watched.

I also have the ultimate Kelvin Hobbs collection

in paperback on the shelf. I also have the ultimate

Calvin Hobbs collection in hardcover. I have

two copies of the ultimate Calvin Hobbs collection

because I like Calvin Hobbs. Let's see. I've

got. That's my wife's gaming TV. Over there in

the entertainment center, yada yada yada. The

big boy stuff, my stuff is out in the family

room. So nice. But that's that's what we've got

going on. Maybe next week. I mean, I'm not like

the show's ending right now, but maybe next week

I'll bring in some more stuff from. Sorry, the

the family room to show you guys. Yep. And and

I looked at this, which is what I brought with

me last year. Yep. The only thing technically

not relevant with it. I mean, it'll still be

relevant at the time is I've changed the logos

for some of the podcasts. I'm here I'm wire altered

geek key caps radio All things transformers which

all things transformers and legends of the Dark

Knight and From the command center or ending

So doesn't I mean they're still active as of

this point. So it's still all right, but I was

gonna say, you know, you know what would be fitting

and well I mean, it'd be more off the cuff ish

than you know geocast radioish it'd be just to

take the flyer and cross off what's not relevant

and just put it out just a big old black x over

top hey you know it works i still have my grand

con badge from last year i don't know where mine

i don't know if i have mine anymore oh here's

my microphone look we can show these to you people

now Here's mine, the Blue Yeti. It's a pop screen

filter on it, which is rubber banded in place

because it likes to fall over because of the

sheer weight that my cat likes to smack it. Smack

it up, smack it up, smack it up. Yep. The backside,

what you guys can't see, I mean, the other...

Contribution that my wife let me have in the

groomer because I do do these podcasts and stuff

like that is She let me put a desk in here What

you can't see behind my computer, which is a

I've got beer bottles and pop cans as I show

you a picture of my keyboard and the rest of

my body Hard drives connector cables, I think

I've got four external hard drives sitting behind

my computer nice there's a hodgepodge of stuff

four external hard drives and oh what's this

a bear hard drive just just leave them laying

out in the open anyone want a 40 gigabyte hard

drive hmm i've got this uh this nifty little

uh um is that a scanner Nope, that's actually

a sound mixer Wait, is it a sound board or a

sound mixer? It's It's a sound board. It's got

a thing for special effects and Recording and

it's like it's a 24 track Built -in hard drive

so Eventually, I will have to play around with

that. All right, you know what? I'm going to

go grab some of my... I have three posters that

are in poster cases. I'm going to bring them

in here. I want to show people stuff. We're doing

a live show. We have a video feed. Let's do this.

I'll be right back. Keep them entertained with

something. Go find your cat. Yeah. Come here,

kitty, kitty, kitty. Myra. Come here, kitty.

Come here. Don't sass me. Yeah, my cat likes

to talk back when I podcast or when I do character

voices She will stand up and she'll go At me

just because I'm annoying her which is actually

quite funny Yeah, she's giving me the scowl right

now on the other chair She's Sorry for my big

old hand being in the way see that's my cat sitting

in the chair For those that are watching, just

at any point, that's my cat. So she thinks it's

funny to sit with her back turned to me and ignore

me and make rrrrrrrr sound. I will bring my masterpiece

Optimus Prime to put him on here. It's the actual

first release of Optimus Prime. Had more of a

I don't know it They made it had to make it safe

for kids So they they put battle damage on them,

and they kind of smoke stacks down Which I don't

quite understand Why they did that? So they've

come out with I think three or four other ones

since then and they're coming up with another

one again, that's fully g1 accurate like with

the head and all the features on the Optimus

Prime, so... Alright, so what'd I miss? I talked

about Masterpiece Optimus Prime. Okay. Did not

show him, but I talked about him. Can't find

him? No, he's actually right there. I was just

waiting for you to get back so that I can stand

up and not have my crotch in the camera. Oh,

okay. Well, I'll go ahead and talk. So, I actually

went out there and I grabbed some movie posters

and I grabbed the B -Wing that I was talking

about out of Legos. First, I'm going to show

the LEGO B -Wing from 1999. It's this very, very

simple little LEGO set. However, the cool thing

about it is the cockpit does gyroscope slightly

like the B -Wing is supposed to, which I find

to be the coolest thing about it. If anyone doesn't

know what the B -Wing looks like, this is what

it looks like in the Star Wars movies. Something

like this You see it once or twice in return

of the Jedi But my fascination with it comes

from when I was a kid and I had the return of

the Jedi toys I had the b -wing and the cockpit

for the b -wing the fancy thing about it because

you know all toys have to have a moving part

in order for kids to be fascinating with it was

the cockpit the cockpit on the toy actually gyroscoped

and it was made by Kenner and I had that as a

kid and I thought that was the coolest thing

that no matter which way I tipped this thing

the cockpit stayed right side up so this this

spaceship that has like maybe 30 seconds of screen

time in the return of the jedi movie became my

one of my favorite toys as a kid and thus i am

fascinated with that particular thing now that

is the 1999 version i went and grabbed the ultimate

collector set off of my bookshelf where all my

cool toys are and here is the big boy as you

can see it is much larger oh wow my only complaint

with it and it's rather dusty I apologize for

that if it's coming through on the camera at

all my only complaint with it is that the cockpit

does not while it swivels well I can swivel it

like so it does not It is not weighted enough

to spin on its own like the cheaper 15 -year

-old set is. This is one of those sets where

you have to build the entire thing. There it

is, fully extended out. Wow, that's pretty big.

Yeah, it's fairly big. Now, the cool thing about

this is that because the ship is symmetrical,

Like when it's sitting like this it's symmetrical

you actually when you're building it you actually

build like this half and Then you build this

half and they get stuck together by Technic pieces

So two halves of it and then it then you snap

them together and this top part actually snaps

off too because it's a completely like it's built

it's in three different pieces when you're putting

it together that took me about six hours to put

that together and it took me about four or five

hours to put together the x -wing that i showed

you guys earlier now before i move on to my next

show and tell thing steve you got your transformer

yes i do um and uh It is Optimus Prime That's

an optimus prime. Yep, and he's giving everybody

the finger so Yes, there's articulation and everything

see there's there's battle damage right on the

The grill there and then battle damage is that

from you or is that from me? It's it's all factory

and then they have some right there on his on

his wrist and then all over on the figure I don't

know why they did that and honestly I think it's

kind of retarded but I do like the fact that

you have all these moving gears like on the back

of like the arms when you move them they Excuse

me. That's actually pretty cool. It's like the

pistons go in and out on the arms. And the funny

part about the legs is it does the same thing,

but when you press on it, like that, the vents

open up. Oh, that's kind of neat. And it's...

Now this might sound kind of weird. Does it transform

or is it just... Oh, it completely transforms.

Okay. It actually comes with his rifle which

there was On the first version there were two

different paint schemes for the gun One of them

was completely gray And the other one was this

one which is completely black other than like

the blue and the little piece of silver Yeah,

it comes with Megatronic gun mode It comes with

the energon battle wax. You can actually push...

You can actually put his hand inside of his forearm.

For the life of me, I can't remember how to do

it. We're forming a transformer live on air.

It's taking forever. Well, there's this mechanism

which allows you to pull the hand up and down,

which I forgot up until just then. And then he's

got a communicator on both arms. This one, for

whatever reason, has Starscream. Well, because

he's a turncoat. Yeah. And then the other side

has Bumblebee on it, I think. I haven't transformed

this thing in years. It's stayed in robot mode

because whenever I move, the sheer amount of

space it takes when it's in truck mode is actually

worse than if I just left him in robot. And then

his chest actually opens up. I wonder how many

Transformers fans are getting aroused right now

by you trying to transform him. Well, I'm doing

part of it and see if this is... It still lights

up still the original battery the matrix does

come out And these pieces snap in place and everything

and the head part of the eyes light up through

the matrix and everything else But I guess they

got a new version coming out and it looks like

this is more Accurate to the comics like the

during the Dreamwave time And the newer one that's

coming out is accurate to the G1 cartoon. Completely.

And the head sculpt is even different. So I think

that's kind of neat. And honestly, I'd probably

get it if it were for the fact that I don't really

want to buy another one. Because they've released

Prime four or five times at this point. pretty

much the same figure other than the little bit

that they come with uh that's different like

one of the primes came with a trailer one of

them came with some other added piece and i mean

it's just you know different different reasons

to pick it up and i just i don't have that kind

of money right um let's see we got a question

here from it's uh from scanner 51 again He says,

how long does it take you to put together a LEGO

set? I got that B -Wing from 1983 on my Star

Wars shelf. One, he's talking about the Kenner

toy that I was talking about when I was talking

about the gyroscoping of the B -Wing that I love.

What's really cool is every summer, twice a year,

my friend over on Off The Cuff, Joe Reed, hosts

the Geek Garage Sale in Grand Rapids, which I

don't know, have you been to yet, Steve? You

haven't been to that yet, have you? Oh, you're

muted. You're still muted. Yeah, I had it muted,

I forgot. I didn't want it switching to the screen.

Oh, yeah, no. You haven't been to the Geek Sale

yet, have you? No, I haven't I know that you've

gotten some pretty cool stuff at at it before

Well, you know, that's that one of the things

that I found the last time I was out There was

a guy had all this Star Wars stuff and he had

the b -wing out there now It wasn't like it was

what it was the one that they did where it's

like we're gonna bring back this Classic Star

Wars Lego set so it was only like two or three

years old, but it was the same b -wing The same

mold as the one from like the 83 3b wing and

I was really tempted to buy it cuz I was like

Ah, man, that'd be really nice to have you know

for some reason It didn't look as it didn't look

as cool as the Lego B wing that I have although

I I would really like to own that again As an

adult because like I said, it is my favorite.

It's one of those things where it's like I see

it I gotta buy it Say I got I want to collect

them all But as far as putting the other a Lego

set It really depends on The Pretty much anything

else it depends on the Lego set, right? These

the b -wing and the x -wing were well over 2000

or just under 2 ,000 pieces a piece And some

of the pieces in there are really really tiny

Which is why it took me so long to put it plus

the The more kid oriented sets have fewer pieces

and I can actually, when I was a kid growing

up, I could put together a Lego set by looking

at the box. I wouldn't even have to look at the

instructions. I could just look at a picture

of it and put the set together. But now... I

can look at a Lego set and I can be like I can

see I can see how they did that or I can figure

you know I can see how they did that and I can

do that but when I sit down with the instructions

and I start putting it together they're putting

it together in completely different ways than

I ever would like then ways then whatever crossed

my mind and the sets are much cooler for it One

of the sets that that is apparent with is the

John Hancock set the the architecture series

Like you look at it and it seems like it's a

very simple, you know, just a black tower But

when you start building it you see what they

did to get the pieces to line up the way they

did It's kind of like wow, that's actually kind

of impressive. Hmm So yeah, it really just varies

the other the other thing kind of has to do with

like how you choose to build a Lego set Like

for example, myself, I like to dump all the pieces

out in a big ass pile. Like all of them. And

sort through it to find every single piece. Some

of my friends prefer to open up all the pieces

and then sort them. By their shape and maybe

even their color. Not me. Just dump them all

in a pile. I've dumped them in a pile, but I've

also gone to the extent of... Separating them

by type of piece. I don't necessarily do them

by color. I just do type of piece Granted I haven't

had to put one together in years I only have

those two things left. Actually. The funny thing

is is I don't know if you remember the They call

them throwbots Nope, it was like a Technic type

piece, but they had like a a arm that was super

bendable Is that after Bionicle? It was actually

before. Okay, then I don't remember. It's what

spawned Bionicle and the stuff around it. It

came out around 99? Yeah, growing up, I wasn't

big into Technic. Like anything technique I was

kind of like turned off by because I couldn't

make Technic stuff all had a bunch of holes in

it. I couldn't make it look like anything I wanted

to make it look like But being adults again seeing

how some of these like especially the ultimate

collector series how they get put together they're

put together using Technic pieces and Then they

use like the plating of a regular Lego piece

over top of it So it's like you're building the

thing from the inside out. You're building the

actual structure of it Yeah, I actually had two

of the the throwbots I didn't I wasn't a fan

of Technic when I was younger I think they're

kind of cool how they work now, but I My brother's

got a few and then I Don't know what the hell

they're called now I mean they got they had the

bionicle and then they got something else that

came out but they had they had like a a way that

you could kind of splice them all together. And

they had these like little circular discs that

you could, like I said, fling or whatever. I

had the one that was like the water one called

Sub, and they came in these little shuttle pods,

which were kind of cool. And I basically made

him like the kind of like hard ass. I gave him

all my special pieces that I could add to them.

And then I had another one that was, it kind

of transformed, which was weird. It was one of

the early ones of that too, but I don't have

that one anymore. I just have the one that's

in the shuttle pod. I see while you're explaining

I kind of it was kind of jogging my memory like

I I didn't own any of them, but I vaguely remember

seeing like a commercial or at least seeing them

on like store shelves, but I remember like Just

buying them not to make this like the lego podcast

or anything, but I remember going And going to

the store and picking out a lego set to buy just

because it had a piece that I didn't have I have

done that like it there was at least a dozen

lego sets that i've bought because they had one

or two pieces that i could see in them that it's

like i don't have that piece and i can only imagine

all the crazy stuff i could do if i had that

piece so i would you know drop my you know 20

30 40 50 bucks just for that set just for that

piece and go home and do something that ship

that i told you guys about that i have in my

garage like just going and buying sets and cannibalizing

it. I took one, there is one set that I bought

because I wanted the sub that came with it. It

had a separate docking station and what I did

is I, instead of building that docking station

on the platform that came with the Lego set,

I took the instructions and I built that structure

on my boat. instead of on the tile that they

wanted me to build on. I was like, this looks

kind of cool. I'll go ahead. I'll just build

it right here on my boat. So I followed the instructions

and I just changed the, you know, the platform

that it was being built on, which was my boat

instead of this little standalone thing. So I

did bring some other stuff though to show if,

unless you've got something you want to show

right now. Well, I actually found the the throw

bot Well the the thing is and I know I got to

turn my screen I I just recently went through

all of my my toys and all my crap I've had over

the years that I've dumped and Separated them

into things that went in my crawlspace and then

into things that I wanted in my display pack

that I May or may not actually put out on this.

I have this ledge that goes around my office,

which you can see. Is that a dummies book over

there or a phone book? Yeah, it's home improvement

for dummies. I haven't opened it. That's what

YouTube's for. So this whole ledge that goes

around, it actually goes around to the other

wall. It's just the two walls. And I actually

have all my stuff displayed on it. This is what

the the throwbots came in when they came out

And they say technique on them, okay But anyways

they they open up and I can't remember what the

heck I put in here But I have they open up like

that. So it's like a shuttlecraft I actually

used to use them as stasis pods for Beast Wars

Missed opportunity, but and I have a Star Trek

Enterprise a ship from the micro machine. Yep.

Oh Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. It's

the only micro machine I have left Which is actually

funny because you had to buy the pack of 30 to

get the enterprise a And I already had most of

them more than once Yep, and you could not get

this stupid ship without buying the entire kit

and I wanted, because Star Trek 6 is my favorite

Trek film, so they feature Enterprise A, and

so that's been my favorite since. So I've got

that, and then I actually have the battle damaged

Star Trek Enterprise A that came out from Hot

Wheels like two, three years ago, and it's actually,

it's about the same size as the shuttle right

here. But uh, here's my my my throw bot That's

not ringing any bells, it's not what I thought

it was But yeah the These pieces right here and

and this I added on because it looks cooler having

extra guns But you know, they just they pretty

much Fold up like this and You just put it back

in the pod Seal them up and there they are cool

I Think the only other The only other thing that

might resonate with people that would I'm sure

make people jealous It's something I've had since

I was five And I'm not talking about my Beast

Wars or my my Batman figures I actually have

this Oh Yeah Yeah, I found it unfortunately the

piece at the top is broke I wrote on it with

black permanent marker to cover up the Pieces

that were damaged of it missing stickers earlier

on when I was a kid Crayon unfortunately Is missing

an arm oh? He looks so sad and this this plastic

glass thing that was here I the hinge broke one

year and It fell off. So I don't have that anymore

either. I think banner just sold his to Joe at

the last geek sale I remember having that when

I was a kid I remember going to Target and buying

that Target on Center Road and buying that You

know, and it's really sad I had that and my brother

lost it yeah, I remember you telling me about

that at a grand con last year and It was funny

because Joe was like, I will fix it if you let

me touch it. And of course, I don't travel out

that way very often. But I know that they're

coming out with a new TMNT Classics version that's

supposed to be show accurate. along with all

the other turtles that they've already released,

because they're coming out with Bebop and Rocksteady

and the Shredder and Krang and this robot body.

It's supposed to be show accurate. So I'm actually

quite looking forward to that, because instead

of fixing the one I have, I'm going to get that

one. All right. I've got a couple more. Well.

Four things but they'll go really quick because

I can cycle through them really fast I need to

stand up from this so if I get really distant

from the microphone I'm actually not gonna be

able to hear what anyone's saying. So I'll just

talk real quick and then come sit back down Okay

First up I was able to score this one might not

show up very well Which is a 3d poster It shows

up alright, it's hitting a glare. Nice. like

one of my favorites it's the one with the broken

bat mask and we've got bane walking away from

everybody which i thought was kind of neat um

there's that one let's see um i also liked man

of steel which a lot of people didn't like i've

got this one which I thought was a really neat

poster. It's just the S. Well, like the films

or not. Outlook and stuff. And, you know, Henry

Cavill looking sad, as all superheroes do. And

the last one, I don't know, I just thought I'd

grab it and bring it in here. That's another

lenticular. It's from Avatar. James Cameron one.

It's a 3D poster. Can't really see it. So, do

we want to get into some feedback? Okay, I'm

back. Should we get into some feedback? Yeah

sure, let's do some feedback and then... Call

it good. Yep, we'll call it good already then

We asked the question last week about the what

would you like to see even see in a live show?

And did we get feedback on that kind of sorta

Eric Hutchinson says I find it hard to ever watch

a live podcast or radio show I prefer to listen

to them on my leisure and really listen to everything

in one sitting. Like podcasts to me make boring

time this much better. Working, driving, or just

background noise. And then superfilmfan98 jumps

on that one too and says, see I thought so myself,

but I find that I'm watching more stuff on YouTube

and Ustream now. on my TV than actual TV shows.

I do watch a lot of video podcasts live. Not

many audio ones, though. And then Dragon O says,

yeah, I am the same way. Wouldn't have huge interest

in a live show, honestly. Just too hard to plan

around. I prefer my media on demand, whether

it be TV, movies, or podcasts. Yeah, no, I totally

get that I think doing it I think the live thing

was just letting people like I think it's just

one more way for people to consume or interact

with it I Wouldn't be surprised. I'm not saying

this for all three giga unlimited, but I wouldn't

be surprised to see like off the cuff go like

video only Maybe somewhere down the line only

from the standpoint of I feel like we could do

we could produce a better show so like while

we're recording it why not just while we're recording

the show we're doing on the webcams why not let

everyone watch it while we're doing it live and

maybe try to get some fan interaction and then

when the show's over like I talked about at the

beginning of this show I pull it offline and

I go in I add some footage of the games that

we're talking about so people know what we're

talking about I wouldn't be surprised to see

that happen with Off the Cuff, mainly because

I can kind of see running into the problem that

you're going to have now, which is we got into

the novelty of having the camera, so it's going

to be an audio podcast where we're talking about

showing everybody something and no one's going

to know what we're talking about. Unless we describe

it really well. Yeah, I'm not quite sure how

that one's going to play out for the audio only

segment, but at least if it's on YouTube, you

could put it on the background. I mean, you could

open up YouTube in a separate channel, you know,

separate tab and let it play and the audio will

still play. It'll be like listening to an audio

podcast. And if we're talking about something

interesting, you could flip over and watch it.

But I don't know, I just thought it'd be one.

doing a live show while we're recording it's

just another way for people to interact with

us if we have people that interact that just

adds to the liveliness of the show um and spurs

greater discussion and um if you know people

don't watch it while we record it live then that's

fine too but it's there for people to consume

if they want and then there's the archive for

people to watch the show however they please

whether it's on their phone or their computer

or on their tv Um, and for the time being, there

will be an audio version of the podcast. So,

you know, we'll, we'll see how that, you know,

how that plays out. I mean, but that's for off

the cuff. I'm pretty sure that Altered Kin Limit

is going to stay as an audio podcast and, and

this just depending on, you know, who's on and

what day of the week. Cause I know there are

some people that don't want to be on camera.

Um. It burns us. It burns us. Yeah. So. Was it

you it and the novelty of oh look at us we can

show you guys stuff that'll wear off It's just

kind of neat to actually have a camera and be

able to show what you're describing Yeah, I know

it's it's sometimes. It's hard to describe Stuff

just depending And then we were talking about

the paid podcast last week, too Yeah, that went

over way better than I was expecting it to go

over. I was Kind of expecting harsh criticism,

but uh, we actually got some pretty constructive

criticism on it. So I actually think And this

might be If this come across as like egotistical,

I think that's I apologize for that, but that's

not how I mean it at all I actually found it

quite nice that At least what I got from the

comments It sounds like we're producing content

that some people wouldn't mind paying for and

I think that's a pretty great compliment I'm

kind of that's this kind of the vibe I got from

it too. I wouldn't mind putting stuff out there

and you know, but Obviously, I want to give people

what they actually wouldn't mind paying for and

I heard a couple, you know comments more so You

know people more so saying that you know if it's

free don't try and charge for it But if it's

something that's like bonus or added then but

that's what I'm talking about. I'm not I'm not

saying like let's charge for like the stuff I'm

not saying that I'm saying like the quality of

the content that we're producing I Think it's

a compliment that people wouldn't mind paying

for bonus kind like we're producing content that

people wouldn't mind paying for I can't charge

people for like what we already give them Because

we've already sent a precedent of doing it free.

I'm saying it's a compliment that maybe if we'd

done it from the beginning where it's like charging

you know maybe they would have we were producing

content that people would pay for is what i'm

saying not that they not that they will they

said they would pay for the content that we're

producing and what what i mean by that is if

we were to produce a bonus episode of something

obviously the quality of that bonus episode is

going to be the same quality of the shows we're

producing for free It's just gonna be a bonus

episode. That's what I'm saying. We're producing

the call the quality of the content that we're

producing at geocast radio some people Would

be willing to pay for that would be willing to

pay for that content. That's what I'm saying

I take that I take that as a compliment I'm not

and I don't take it as well. Let's go ahead and

charge them I'm just saying I take it as a compliment

that we're producing content that you know people

might You know pay 99 cents for a bonus episode

for or something The other thing I was kind of

seeing people uh remark about was um if we came

up with an app i'm not sure how to see the way

that i the way that i understand like a like

a subscription app like that would work is if

you were to like you give the app away for free

but you still sell a subscription to your website

like one of the other things i've seen people

do and i've i've actually paid for this um escapist

.com What they do is they give away like all

they do a lot of video shows and they give all

that stuff away Like you can watch it in quote

-unquote low resolution and flash On your computer

for free or You can pay them 20 bucks for the

entire year and you can get like an HD version

in HTML 5 That will play on every single device

that you have under the Sun and it's an HD and

it's all ad -free And I, I've paid that. I did

that for two years. Like I paid them 40 bucks

for two years worth of stuff. But what I did

is like, I signed up to it for, basically what

sucked me into that model was I have an iPad

and I love my iPad. Well, everyone knows that

flash doesn't work on iOS devices. And I would

go to their website and I couldn't watch their

videos. Well, I wanted to watch the zero punctuation

videos. And the only way to do that was to pay,

you know, 20 bucks for the entire year. and then

I could stream them on my iPad, because all of

a sudden I could get the feed in HTML5. And what

happened was I paid my 20 bucks and I started

watching Zero Punctuation. I thought it was great

to be able to watch on my iPad, but what I did

is I went and explored the other content on their

website, because all of a sudden I have to add

value to what I just paid for. I paid to watch

Zero Punctuation on my iPad, But I didn't want

to just say that I paid to watch your whole punctuation

on my iPad so I went and explored like you know

movie Bob escaped to the movies and his I Can't

remember what his other stuff is, but I did that

and then there was some stuff from like Jim Sterling

Anyways, I added value by going and searching

out the other content, but I was like through

a subscription thing So as far as like an app

goes I feel like that's one of the things you'd

have to do is like if you did the app model you'd

give the app away for free and then find a way

to like do with like a subscription thing inside

of it where if they pay you like if they if they

subscribe to it all the stuff shows up in the

app i don't i don't know how an app would work

i understand the appeal of an app but i don't

know how an app would work well see i've done

the the app maker type things from certain um

creative Points, but I don't know how to actually

make one And make it look nice while it also

is able to be downloaded through the stores Now

mind you the one that I made years ago for Android

phones was because there was like one of those

Like hold your hand walk you through and and

you know you turn this this and this on and it

basically looks like crap But it didn't really

I mean I could send it to set it to certain feeds,

but it essentially didn't really do anything

but link stuff and then for iTunes I wouldn't

even know where to begin so Well with iTunes

you needed a copy of the SDK and I have I am

actually I am actually a registered developer

with Apple I've never made anything. I just use

it to get access to the iOS software early and

put it on my phone and hope it doesn't brick

my phone every time I update it. Nice. But that's

how I like to live. I like to live on the bleeding

edge like that. I've done that for the last three

years. I've signed up for the iOS developer program

just so I can have the latest version of iOS

on my phone before anybody else. But I've never

even bothered to look into the developer tools

or anything like that. I'm like, I just want

access to the software without it bricking my

phone. Obviously these are ongoing discussions

we'll have for the time being I know I was kind

of upfront one of the things that one of the

reasons I'd or the other I Don't I think I'm

pretty sure I said this either last on the last

episode of alter geek but one of the reasons

I went to YouTube you don't want to do the live

shows too is because Google makes it really easy

to monetize those their videos You know, they

just throw the videos in the front and you get

a small, you know, percentage of those if that

works. That's just a way for us to get some kind

of some kind of revenue. And I'm not saying it's

going to work, but it's worth a shot. And now

real, real quick side note inside baseball thing.

I found out the only time a YouTube person gets

paid for an ad that runs in is if that ad gets

played to completion. It's like if you choose

skip ad, no one gets any money for skipping that

ad. And I I totally understand skipping an ad,

especially like the other day when I wanted to

watch like a five minute video and there was

an 11 minute ad on the front of it. Are you serious?

I kid you not. It said 11. Like if the ad thing

like started up and it said 11 minutes, I was

like, what? Skip. So what I would have started

doing, because I found that out in some of the

YouTube channels that I use, they use that ad

revenue to support themselves. If it's like a,

if I'm watching like a 10 minute video and they

put like a minute 30 second ad on the front of

it, I'll let the ad play. I'll like look at something

else or something while it's playing, but I'll

let it play. Now that I know that they don't

get any money. If I click that skip, skip ad,

I let it play. That way I can at least be supporting,

you know, the, the videos that I, or the content

providers actually like on YouTube, I could be

supporting them. Another thing that's actually

coming to is I don't know if it's been added

already, but YouTube is adding a tip jar That's

kind of me in a weird sense So people can like

donate, you know money to you directly to your

channel. So I don't know if that started I haven't

seen that anywhere on my end unlike the settings

in the creation or in the page owners Stuff,

but you know, that's just another option. I just

decided to go down that that route to see if

anything can be done. Well, the weird thing for

me is if I ever try and monetize this show, I'll

need to move it to the GeekCast radio channel.

For whatever reason. Well, this account, they

disabled any kind of monetization because of,

you remember the AdSense? Yeah. things that they

used to have. I had it installed on my old transformer

site when I had it and I started making money

and then I put it on GeekCast radio when I started

GeekCast radio and they because I started making

actual revenue they and I hadn't even had a chance

to cash out yet they just blacklisted it and

killed my account. I think I had a similar experience

damaging to other investors or advertisers, even

though I was this itty bitty site. I had that

same issue with the lunchroom net. And I know

why I got flagged. I know exactly why I got flagged.

It was because of my friend that I got flagged.

But what was what my friend was doing is when

he would get to work, he would go to the lunchroom

net and click on all the ads. And then he'd go

on his phone. and click on all the ads. And then

when he got home, he would go and click on all

the ads. And then he'd click on all the ads again

with his phone when he got home. And he did that

every day. Huh. So the same IP from the same

location was always clicking on the same ads.

And I got up to, you know, they only disperse

money when it gets over $25 as when they start

dispersing funds. And I got to 25 bucks through

him doing that. And that's when they decided

they're like they they looked at where the ad

clicks were coming from and That's when I got

blacklisted, but I haven't seen anything getting

flagged for what I've set up Now I mean, but

they haven't asked me for any kind of like an

account information or anything like that I mean,

I've got the off the coke channel. It's just

another means for a way to us to try It's no

different than if we were to read ad copy for

something for like audible or anything like that,

really. So I'm trying that. I don't know if it'll

have any potential. I don't even know if it'll

make anything, but it's there, it's easy, and

it's free for the most part. But this is ongoing

conversations. And like I said, I take it as

a compliment that we are producing content that

people would pay for a bonus episode of. So that's

awesome. whether or not we choose to do anything

like that that's a completely different story

but it's awesome that people think that we are

producing content that is worthy of being paid

for yeah that makes me feel good as well i i

wasn't um i guess it's not really something i've

thought about so it's good to know we're not

producing garbage so Think that's about it this

week. That's that's all I got. I think next week

might be less show -and -tell I think next week.

It'll be less show -and -tell and maybe we'll

talk about some kind of diverse stuff that Popped

up over the last week. I didn't really want to

bring up The unfortunate event of the beginning

of the week Ferguson, Missouri What nothing No,

I meant the the celebrity unfortunate Oh Yeah,

don't bring that up with me here no, I I talked

about it on altered geek unleashed briefly and

we Have had three different coverages or four

different coverages on the website already through

different podcaster articles for the listeners

just so I Just so they were clear, it's not that

I have anything to say good or bad about the

guy at all. It's that I anytime something like

that comes up, I have nothing good to say. Like

not good isn't like good or bad, but just like

I have nothing. I have nothing to say. You have

nothing to add to the discussion. I have nothing

to add to the conversation. So and most of the

time when it pertains to that kind of situation,

regardless of even like family members or anything

like that. I usually end up saying something

inappropriate that gets me in trouble anyways.

It's just the way that I deal with that stuff.

So yeah, that's what I'm saying. Don't bring

that up with me here. Cause I'll probably say,

end up saying something inappropriate that may

or may not elicit some laughs, but it's wildly

inappropriate. Yeah. I was, like I said, I was

going to bring it up, but I kind of decided to

it. It's been covered to death by this point.

think it's time to close that door. But anyways,
