Batman v Superman Direction, Arrow Season 3, Windows 9, and Listener Feedback

Hey, this is Steve blue and you are listening

to the geek cast radio network Hello and welcome

to Altered geek unlimited episode 47. I'm your

host Steve Megatron Phillips and joining me as

usual is TfU and Mike. Hello. Hello How's it

going? Pretty damn good So yeah, I've been Working

on well for one I got my new profile picture

from Neil Still waiting on mine. Yes, okay. Yep,

and it's truly Steve Megatron It's become Steve

Megatron Steve Barney Tron Steve Batatron Steve

g1 Megatron It's become a whole bunch of stuff.

Yeah, I've altered multiple copies of the image

But you still are gonna use the original yeah,

I'm gonna use the original for the for the profile

purposes and everything. I'm just making the

other ones just for fun and to see, you know,

eventually I may swap them out. But it's more

so so I could see the color palette. So, yes.

Thank you to Neil for that. Yes. Other than that,

been getting stuff prepped for Fourth of July

Yeah, I wish I could get stuff prepped for fourth

of July because I'd put in Triple quadruple pane

windows with metal shutters on the front of them

I'm not good with outside noises people. I'm

just not keep them out. It's just I'm not trying

to be unpatriotic at all. I used to love fireworks

displays as a kid, and I still kind of like them

as an adult, just not right in my backyard when

I'm sitting here trying to produce content for

Gatecast Radio, you know. There was an episode

I recorded recently where I actually had to stop,

call the police, and tell them about people setting

up fireworks too close to this building. And

they said, oh, yep, we know there's an officer

already on the way out there, because apparently

somebody else called him before I did. How's

the house coming along? Surprisingly well. We've

got the, we only got really two more rooms and

then the garage to pretty much go through. And

then of course I've got to organize a bunch of

crap that's sitting in my office in totes. And

then I mailed out this week the prize packs for

the Keycast Radio episode 65. Yep, five -year

contest. I sent those out today, so... Mostly

everybody got... They at least got a DVD set

or a Blu -ray set or both or... one or the other

or combination of those two and then various

comics or trades. Mine are going to include mostly

comics. I'm trying to include several. Each person

will hopefully get one CD soundtrack from La

La Land Records. Know one lucky winner is gonna

get a copy of Avengers confidential Punisher

Black Widow or Black Widow versus Punisher wherever

that subtitle is of that DVD And I'll be sending

those out on Monday after the 4th of July What

else been going on with me I was just a guest

on Masters of the Tooniverse podcast where we

talked about Batman Beyond And I think the last

20 minutes is me basically You won't listen to

the last 20 minutes of that show because you

already know the history It's basically just

me telling you know my history with podcasting

and kind of a brief history of the network and

and all that kind of stuff so That was awesome

still doing pull bag prep, it's it's amazing

now with I'm so far removed from DC at this point,

honestly. Outside of the DCAU digital comic Batman

Beyond, outside of Batgirl, and outside of Batman

Eternal and Masters of the Universe, there are

no DC books I'm really reading right now because

of personal financial matters dealing with my

health, my mom's health, and all this. I mean,

I'm fine physically, but just... stuff is coming

up that I've pretty much dropped all my print

subscriptions for comics and I've pretty much

gone digital. But getting the pullback going

up we just released Forever Evil. Forever Evil

will be the last superhero story, the last superhero

based episode we have in a while because we have

Rocky and Bullwinkle. We have Masters of the

Universe, He -Man Masters of the Universe issues

1 through 6 coming up and then between the end

of July most of August is Transformers stuff

so that's gonna be a not necessarily a slightly

new direction, but kind of a return because we've

done some Transformers stuff on the show before

I'm still planning with TV's Mr. Neil to do the

Summer of the Golden Age of Animation on Tooncast

Beyond for that What else, what else? MWIRE has

its five year anniversary coming up this coming

Thursday? Wednesday, Thursday? July 11th, somewhere

around there. I know, I've told you this before,

and I don't know if I've told the listeners before,

this is so funny. You rolled your eyes at me,

well, through the internet as much as you roll

your eyes at someone, and you just kinda said

that's kinda lame. I originally based the very

first episode of MWIRE airing. I think it was,

yeah, it was July 11, 2009. That was the date

of the next new iPhone release. Yes, I know,

Lang. So we've got that coming up. Other than

that, I mean, I've just kind of been... I'm ahead

in my work, but I'm also it's funny when working

on podcasting whether recording editing getting

posts ready or whatever I find myself at times

where I'm so far ahead that I have nothing to

do in the interim or I find myself so far ahead

yet so far behind that I have so much to do yet

I just don't have the motivation to do it right

now because of Some of the stuff that's going

on in my personal life, but I'm still getting

it done. We're still You know, getting content

out there and all that good stuff. So that's

pretty much what's going on with me. And I also

entered for the King of the Nerds. Yes, you did.

I doubt I'll hear back from that, but it was

worth the try anyhow. Never know. You never know.

I'll be surprised. It'd probably be the best

-looking nerd that they have on there as far

as the guys go They probably wouldn't choose

me probably because of that Maybe like this guy's

too classy we can't have him This guy doesn't

wear any glasses we can't leave this guy doesn't

have nerd glasses we can't even have him on here

well the funny thing was is when I recorded it

every I actually recorded the damn thing like

I think six or seven times because Every time

I did it it came out to be like seven eight minutes

because they have all these suggestions of things

that you should include in it and Of course one

thing leads to another and a story develops I

had to cut and cut so what I started doing is

I started because I Had to reinstall my webcam

software because that was the only way I could

actually capture it I couldn't do it through

the other programs for whatever reason it just

for whatever reason it wiped it Maybe that or

I didn't reinstall it when I did redid my tower,

but I recorded in segments like we do the podcast

and You know, there was like a five ten second,

you know at the beginning and that between clips

that I had to chop anyhow, but I There's a bunch

of jump cuts between different pieces I made

it 10 seconds under the five minute mark which

it was three to five minute was the limit and

I cut out a couple different stories but I left

in some that um because it says talk about one

you know geek topic you're highly passionate

about and I said how the new 52 Batman is severely

screwed up and I started explaining the timeline

issue which is something I've had conversation

with at conventions yeah so That's something

I could sit there and talk about and it drives

me nuts. So I did that and the initial introduction

I I was wearing my Batman mask And then the next

one I was wearing the Steve hat This is the Steve

on it, which is my old high school nickname and

then I changed the hat again for the next scene

To a Batman hat and then I changed the hat again

to a Decepticon hat And then I changed it again

Couple more times, but I thought it was kind

of funny to keep doing that every time And then

I showed my bat may be on returning the Joker

Joker and stuff, so I don't know I mean it'll

be cool if it happens if it doesn't it's no biggie

either, but I It was interesting Hope you get

it. Yeah, it'd be neat. Yep so Tons has been

going on recently yeah in the geeky world yep

Lindsay Lohan is suing Rockstar Games because

apparently there's a apparently she needs a paycheck

yeah there is that apparently she needs a paycheck

apparently there's a parody of her in the game

I think it's called Lacey Jonas does she go to

rehab? The character in the game is called Lacey

Jonas. It's, you know, a skinny blonde type character

kind of thing and she basically references all

kinds of, you know, drunken disorderly and parties

and getting into trouble and... She's basically

a Hollywood starlet kind of thing within the

game. I don't know. I haven't played this part

of the game. I haven't even played the game itself,

but I've seen a video of it. Hopefully I can

have you embedded in the post, but I gotta find

it again. But it's one of those things where

games parody characters all the time. Part of

her claim, from what I remember looking at the

article, it says that the character resembles

her directly in image, voice, and likeness altogether,

especially, you know, references to her personal

life, etc., etc., etc. The voice doesn't even

sound like her. There's no way in hell... The

suit's gonna eventually be dropped or thrown

out because it's a parody of a celebrity. That

bitch wants a paycheck. That's all there is to

it. I noticed this a little bit before we started

recording tonight Apparently Andre 3000 of Outkast

is going to be portraying Jimi Hendrix in a new

film It's not that I don't have a I don't have

a problem with it. I think it's interesting I

think he from the images I've seen he does look

the part It's just when I when I hear that name

Andre 3000. I just don't think Jimi Hendrix look

alike What else has been going on As far as news

yes, they everybody's making a big deal about

that Batman's first Superman First reveal of

Superman in in the the dark city Have you seen

the image the other image that if this popped

up the one with Batman in front of him The one

where Superman has his hands around Batman's

waist yes Yeah, yeah, I was like wow It's actually

funny because Batman's heads down like no get

your hands off me. Yeah, man handling me. Yeah,

I I don't know. I don't have an opinion of it.

I just I noticed that they changed a little bit

of Superman's uniform and then they changed his

hair a Little bit like kind of slicked it back

more Right, but other than that. It's not a big

deal like I'm I really would rather see At least

some kind of a teaser Yeah, rather than keep

showing me. I mean I don't be wrong. I like the

promotional images too, but Show me something

of substance that I haven't seen before like

I don't know Wonder Woman or You know just something

cuz or Robin. I hope to God they don't add him

We don't need him. He's a loser. I mean, come

on. Depends on which one you're talking about,

but yes. If he's a whiny little version of Bruce,

then we don't want him. Honestly, I'm more excited

about the other Batman news that I - I honestly

think we just need to put a cap on the Bat Superman.

I mean, we haven't really done it to death yet,

but it's one of those things where every time

I see a news story about it, I look at it, I'm

like, oh, OK, let's go look at people trashing

Transformers 4, or let's go look at something

other than this. But the other Batman news is

much more exciting and interesting. Which is?

Batman the TV series coming to DVD Blu -ray and

digital this November all 100 and something episodes

of the Batman 60s television series starring

Adam West and Burt Ward is finally coming to

DVD I'm kind of intrigued to see If there's any

cool special features that they add to it I mean

and plus it's been what 50 years since they've

had the rights to actually get this out there

something like that yeah i mean that's just insane

that it's taken that long to get it out of whoever's

rights had it before and actually have it work

yep yeah it's crazy um i do know by the video

promotion thing they showed the little youtube

teaser ad thing that it does say all new special

features it doesn't say what the new special

features are. It doesn't give a price yet. I'm

sure it's going to be extremely expensive. 120

episodes, three seasons. They're probably going

to do some sort of Batman 75th anniversary Batman

66 casing for it, or some sort of special DVD

casing. I'm betting the set will most definitely

be either $100 or over $100 when it comes out.

And if you don't have the money to snatch it

up right then, you're gonna be SOL because the

aftermarket on eBay will ask for $400, $500,

$600, $700 for it because eventually what's gonna

probably happen is, and this is kind of sad that

this does happen, but sets go out of print. And

when they go out of print, people on eBay are

like, hey, it's out of print, it's rare, it's

this, it's that. And that, you know, part of

that is true, but they then ask astronomical

amounts of money for this DVD set. You know,

but I'm very interested to see what special features

are on there. I'm very interested to see the

menus and what they do and how they present the

whole ensemble. So that's that's going to be

interesting to see if they include the film.

with it or if it's just gonna be the episodes.

I have a feeling it's only gonna be the episodes.

I don't think it'll be the movie only because

that's an extra selling opportunity. I mean it's

like when you could buy the Transformers Generation

1 DVD set or complete set and then or even the

Matrix set and they leave open the spot for the

movie. I mean it's one of those type scenarios

I have a feeling. Plus it's WB. So they're going

to want to make the extra cash. They try and

do what Disney does with their films and sell

it top dollar and separate. Right. But yeah,

no, I'm super stoked for that. Yep, me too. So.

Next up, I really don't want to talk about this,

but it's something that's floating around. They

keep talking about Robin showing up in the Batman

vs. Superman movie. Let's just say no and move

on. I mean, people keep coming up with different

lists, and then there's one where Harry Potter

wants to play Robin. ones with various other

people, but Honestly, I'd rather if it's gonna

be an older bat, and I just have Nightwing Yeah,

I don't I don't want to take a long little little

version of you know Robin floating around and

in any incarnation. I'd rather just have Nightwing

and then that's it it's it would be so much simpler

that way if they're gonna do it that way I just

Do we really need them? That's that's the other

question Because I don't think so with having

cyborg and aquaman and wonder woman showing up

in the same movie How long have we said this

call it what it is, you know Which is why it's

called dawn of justice It's like it's like saying

okay. We're gonna have the prequel episode Before

we have the main episode. So basically you're

not gonna get much of what you expect out of

this movie. It's gonna be crap Yeah, I think

it's in I don't take this the wrong way because

part of this movie was good in its plot, but

then part of it was crap. Iron Man 2 is going

to be the equivalent of Batman versus Superman

only because and like I said, Iron Man 2, the

good part was the armor wars and that kind of

stuff. The bad part was how they they kind of

it seemed like it fell down whenever it focused

on shield. So I think that that's going to be

the problem with. Batman verse Superman is it's

going to fall on this crutch of trying to become

Justice League rather than making a good movie

All right, like if they're gonna do like world's

finest or something then great go for it, but

Because it would obviously make more sense than

having them play the Dark Knight Returns or you

know, whatever in having Batman beat the hell

out of Superman and fake his death and whatever

but it would make more sense because in world's

finest they both were kind of on opposite ends

doing their own agendas and then they kind of

butted heads in the middle and then had to put

aside their differences and work together to

defeat the Joker and Lex Luthor which they're

also kind of teasing that oh we might have the

Joker in here which it's like why why are they

really doing that? I think it's too soon. I haven't

seen it. I haven't seen it floating around like

rumors of it, which who knows? I mean, it's it's

too soon. I don't know why that they wouldn't

even. And again, it's probably just Internet

speculation. People just bouncing around going,

hey, I think the Joker is going to be in it.

And then somebody is like, the Joker is going

to be in it. And then it kind of grows around,

becomes fact, even though it's not. It's like,

do you believe everything you watch on TV? No.

Well, you shouldn't on the Internet either. They,

uh... This is why I'm so far removed from this

movie at this point. At this point, I'm... I

don't want to say ambivalent, but... I just don't

care. Like, I have nothing about this. Other

than the fact that I want to see Ben Affleck

as Bruce Wayne in Batman, and I like seeing Henry

Cavill return as Superman. Other than that, nothing

about this movie, whether it be news, whether

it be rumors, whatever. Nothing about this movie

has me excited to see it. And it's like you said

a few minutes ago, and it's like you and I have

said the last, what, four, five, six damn different

episodes we've talked about this. Give us a teaser.

Give us video. I don't care about stills. I don't...

Moving on. Yeah. Um... into Arrow season 3 they're

gonna add Katana hmm it's a Sin City Star which

I'm not familiar with it I've not watched it

so I don't know anything about it but I'm down

for them adding more heroes absolutely Especially

when you've got, you know, the Black Canary kind

of off in the wind now and you know, you have

all these various other Various other characters

that that are kind of in the fight throughout

it and in adding on to arrows team so to speak

absolutely But yeah, it'll be kind of Neat seeing

that considering and I think they're on a big

kick with having Katana return only because like

beware the Batman they had Katana's is Batman's

only sidekick Yeah, and then now an arrow they're

gonna have the same thing Right, so I mean it's

it's I I don't have a problem with it. I mean

Honestly, I think it's better suited here than

with Batman but was also kind of nice seeing

Batman user instead because then you don't have

Robin Yes, so but yeah, I look forward to seeing

what they're gonna do with this character and

how they plan to implement her into the the show

Yeah, I'm still waiting for Netflix to add season

2 I still I watched the end of season one. I

watched like the first four, three or four episodes

of season two. Now I don't, I will never say

that Arrow is a bad show. It isn't. It's much

better than most superhero shows on television

nowadays. What little ones there are. But I just

kind of, I don't know what it was when like after

the third or fourth episode, it wasn't that I

lost interest in the show. I just lost interest

in... really keeping up with the show and I think

it's gonna be better for me to get more enjoyment

out of it if I can watch it all at once versus

having to wait because I'm not one of these people

and I'm not saying this is a bad thing at all

but I'm not one of these people that torrents

stuff online a lot I'm not one of these people

that torrents whole television seasons and that's

that's fine if that's what you like to do I prefer

to just wait until it hits Netflix. I mean, hell,

if I'm paying for Netflix, I might as well have

stuff on there that I actually want to watch.

Now, when I say that, I'm not saying that there

isn't anything on Netflix that I don't like watching.

There is a lot of content on there. There's just

some shows I wish they'd bring back or get the

contracts back to, so it would make a few podcast

recordings a lot easier anyway. But yeah, for

me, I... I have to go back to Arrow, and I bet

what they're probably gonna do is they're probably

gonna wait and have the contract redone to have

Season 2 added right before Season 3 starts.

So I'll probably end up spending a whole weekend

watching Season 2 at whatever point it comes

up. Yeah, I mean, I'm kind of looking forward

to seeing more of it, but... Yeah, and I I'm

one of the ones that happens to If I don't catch

it because usually I try and watch it but that

depends on if there's a show that Mary wants

to watch and if not then Then I have to torn

it because it's the only way I watch it Right

and not that I wouldn't watch it on demand, but

I'm not going to sit through Five of the same

commercial every commercial break Yeah, and not

being able to fast forward through it Kills me

too. I don't understand like so okay. I know

this is kind of going against the show thing

But here's my personal question of the week to

the fans someone please explain to me Why Comcast

why time Warner cable any of these? cable provider

services that allow on -demand do not allow you

to fast -forward. You could rewind, but you can't

fast -forward. I don't understand that. Somebody

explain that to me. Makes no dang sense. Yeah,

well, it's a thing, unfortunately, to sit through

it. Well, okay, yeah, but... Like, if there's

any other reason, listeners, let me know. If

there's any other reason other than they force

you to sit through it, let me know. Oh wow, there's

a fake Batman vs Superman script floating around.

Oh god, here we go. Written by Kevin Smith. Then

it's not necessarily fake. Well, yeah. They're

saying that it's, yeah. Another thing, it's kind

of strange. Side note Seems like all these movie

sites Tend to just pull random stuff out of their

ass Like movie pilot seems to be pretty because

I mean it's all written by just people random

people that's aggregated there it seems like

a lot of stuff that comes through there's total

bull or Attention grab and that's about it. I

Don't know I just saw that while you were talking

and I'm just surprised. Can't we just let it

go? Can't we leave this subject alone? What's

next? Because I was going to, well, that's why

I said can't we just let it go because I was

going to fast forward all the way down to the

end and talk about the once upon a time casting.

We can talk about that. I have yet to watch this

show. It's on Netflix. I know the first season's

on Netflix. I caught several episodes of season

two. I think it was right around the time where

Mulan came in and Hook was... or Peter Pan or

some... I forget what it was. I don't dislike

the show because I've never really watched it

from day one. I know you've watched it from day

one. But I... Don't know how I feel about them

bringing in for characters from frozen It's Well,

the thing about it is they're gonna take that

cartoon and grab version. They're gonna make

something bad go down between them And then they'll

be gone as soon as the seasons up or to the midseason

because usually what they do is they switch villains

every half season It's it's usually if they kind

of switch the the dynamic a little bit because

like last season they had Peter Pan for the first

half and then the second half they had the Wicked

Witch of the West. I mean I love the concept

of the show. They take a really interesting way

of taking your familiar fairy tales and kind

of mixing them together or creating new origins

from them but making them more intertwined so

like You have the Rumpelstiltskin story But he's

also the beast from Beauty and the Beast Rumpelstiltskin

is and then so I mean it's you have people that

have dual purpose and the the the fairy tale

timeline So it's kind of interesting to Kind

of have it go back and forth and then you get

to go back to when they were their their original

castle and you know olden days timeline to To

the the the modern day, you know, they're stuck

in this town type thing so It's kind of interesting

Yeah, I said it's an interesting concept but

since I didn't get caught in on it on the first

season It's just not a show that's been high

on my radar to catch That's the only reason why

I I really have no opinion of it either way.

I and I know Disney and ABC are gonna milk frozen

as much as they possibly can but Personally,

I wish that thing would just fade away without

a trace. I Know it's not I'm not being unrealistic

here I'm trying to think of what I don't like

more, Frozen or Transformers 4. I would say Transformers

4. I don't know, I can't make that decision right

now. I would rather watch the one, but again,

I can't comment on it. Yeah, we'll obviously

talk about Transformers 4 in full detail on all

things Transformers because we're covering the

Michael Bay universe and the The funny thing

is about it We actually had to cut it off before

Transformers 4 because there was so much crap

we brought up for Transformers 1 through 3 Yes

I think the nostalgia critic kind of covered

it pretty well when he brought up Transformers

4. He may have repeated himself at points, but

he was pretty much spot on in his opinion. Dan,

our own resident movie reviewer, panned it. I've

kind of known my panning of it. I've talked to

Randall, who does a lot of the Transformers 3D

videos, along with Dr. Smooth. He and I have

been calling back and forth in Facebook messages

talking about how inappropriate these Bay -verse

films are and that we're never going to let our

kids watch it. And the fact that four is so bad

shit, terrible, or all four of them are missing

the key elements that makes a Transformers movie,

which is the Transformers. Similar to you know

the 1986 movie, which is why everybody's now

saying 1986 movie why it's the best transformers

movie ever well Transformers fans knew this It's

the other people that don't Yeah So I mean, it's

I again. I'm not gonna get into detail of it

I just I wanted to bring that up well, and it

is a little man even said he says it's 20 minute

Transformers movie the other two hours and 30

minutes is a painful unrelated human shit Yeah,

um, I'm I I know you're probably gonna disagree

with this but Ladies and gentlemen right now

as of this recording ATTF episode 42 where the

babe verse episode will appear Has halfway been

recorded. We have an hour and ten minutes for

the first three films I guarantee you with how

I know Proto Man feels about the fourth film,

I guarantee you that podcast in total once I

edit it is probably going to be close to three

hours long because I guarantee you he could go

on for two hours talking about all the things

he doesn't like about that movie. What I will

say is that the greatest thing about half these

people not liking it or writing bad, you know,

writing reviews, you know, what like our own

movie revolt dad he found it excruciating and

he rated it one star on geekcastradio .com we

have nine votes because our new voting system

as far as the content of the review we have nine

votes and on our website transformers 4 uh transformers

4 revenge of the fallen wow transformers 4 age

of extinction for a user rating has a 2 .06 rating

based on nine votes Wow, I'm surprised it even

got a two. I would not give it a two, but that's

just me. Well, maybe I would give it a two. It

wasn't that terrible, but it was pretty bad.

The thing I liked about it, though, was Megatron.

You mean Galvatron. Whatever, he's Megatron.

Galvatron. The humans named him that. They aren't

Unicron. So I preferred I preferred The the method

that Megatron is controlling them all using his

old head which is somehow fully repaired Instead

of you know cut in half Well Megatron he's ahead

of his time, you know, yeah, he's ahead of his

time. All right and Dismemberment But they they

essentially pulled a g2 comic with GI Joe crossover

where Megatron was badly damaged and in exchange

for Cybertronian technology he taught taught

them how to build him a new body and which he

He took over their computer systems and left

with his new body, which is very reminiscent

of this. So that's about the only thing that

was worth warranting in this entire shit film.

So I think we'll move into some kind of geeky,

cool tech stuff that's completely different from

this kind of pop culture before we go to a commercial

break. Did you see that article with the how

much data is generated on? Pretty much every

social network every minute. I thought that was

kind of an interesting Infographic that they

showed Generated information it says like YouTube

users upload 72 hours of new video every minute

of the day Wow Email users send two hundred and

fourth million messages every minute of the day

Google receives over 4 million search queries

Facebook users share 24 2 .4 million pieces of

content Twitter users tweet 277 ,000 times Amazon

makes $83 ,000 in online sales Apple users download

48 ,000 apps Skype users connect for 23 ,000

hours I just, it's kind of amazing how much data

is just done every minute. It's kind of mind

boggling to even think about because it's, I

mean, granted we're adding to that infographic,

but. What's more mind boggling is the Amazon

one. If they're making $83 ,000 a minute. I mean,

that's a lot of minutes and that's a lot of money.

Well, because I mean, if you kind of break it

down and they make $4 .9 million every hour.

Oh my God. And then if you... That's crazy. They

make... Wow. They make 119 million dollars every

day. I was going to say in one day. So if you

take 119 million dollars and multiply that times

365 days for one year. It's too big of a number.

I don't want to. Yeah, I know. That's what I'm

saying. That's sick. Yeah. No, this graphic is

super interesting. Yep. And then the final one

is Microsoft may prioritize the desktop in Windows

9. About flipping time. Well, and I think what

it is is this is Microsoft may disable by default

the Metro Define Start menu or start screen on

desktop based computers in Windows 9. They give

some goofy nicknamed every version of Windows

whenever they go through, but basically what

it would do is it would put, it would auto detect

on desktops and laptops and put the Windows desktop

with the start menu back in there. It would automatically

boot to those, but you'd have the option of going

to the Metro style. But the tablets and the phones

won't have a desktop environment at all and will

automatically be the Metro We'll see yeah, that

makes sense. It makes sense that Windows 8 is

all you know the way I forget what the what the

advertising crap was when that first came out,

but it was something like, you know, the windows

to your life or the windows that you're, you

know, it makes sense on phones and tablets. It

does not make sense on desktop computers and

laptops. It's just too weird for me. I have a

Windows 8 PC and I hate Metro. Installed a bootleg

when start menu so that I could have it back

Yeah, and it automatically boots to the desktop

because of that Yeah, I think I said this on

a previous episode and I think you said this

as well. I will never upgrade From Windows 7

unless they absolutely forced me to Well, I don't

have a reason to I'm not spending 130 bucks To

upgrade Windows I waited Mean shoot. I had a

legit copy of Windows XP Mm -hmm from 2001 so

every time I re -installed I had to put all three

service packs in so that kind of sucked but I

Had a legit copy and I had no reason to upgrade

so I didn't Whereas now, you know, I mean like

a year ago. I upgraded Windows 7 and I haven't

looked back because I don't have to spend as

long updating or installing my PC. It takes like

two hours and I'm done, whereas it took 14 before.

Right. Yeah, no, I mean, and honestly, if if

I'm going to upgrade, I'm going to end up getting

a new machine. That's that's the only way I will

upgrade as long as Windows, as long as Microsoft

keeps supporting Windows seven. And I know you

said at one point they won't. They'll stop after

10 years or something. They'll stop sooner than

that. It just Windows XP was kind of a fluke.

And they made so many shitty copies of Windows

between there and 7. Yeah. That people are like,

I'm not moving. Yeah. But that's what I'm saying.

I won't move until I have something similar to

what this is. Because I was so stuck on XP myself.

I loved XP at the time. And then I got a new

computer with Windows 7 on it at the time. And

it was like... I mean, shoot, you had Windows

7 before I did. Did I? Mm -hmm. I bought that

tower in 2010. Yep, I didn't upgrade until 2012

or late 2013. No, I did it in mid -2013. But,

I mean, I was so used to using XP and I liked

XP for what it was. It took me about a month

to really get used to Windows 7. There's a lot

more functionality in it for me than what was

on XP at the time that I had. It was just more

user -friendly for me. First of all, when I had

XP, I think I mentioned this the longest time

ago, I wanted something that used the Apple dock.

And I think I found this website called RocketDoc.

And it's basically a Windows version of the Apple

Doc. And you can put in whatever programs you

want to put in there. Well, Windows 7, they have

a built -in doc right there. So instead of all

these windows that you have open on the task

bar, it's all these icons. So with Google Chrome,

instead of having like i have currently i think

seven tabs open in google chrome so it just shows

that i have google chrome open instead of showing

it that i have seven tabs open in google chrome

so it's a hell of a lot easier for me and when

i saw windows 8 i was like uh no no thank you

So like I said, I won't upgrade unless I absolutely

have to. Unless they force me to eventually.

My bet is you'll be able to skip 8. Oh, well,

yeah. I mean, I've skipped 8 to this point. But

no, I mean, you know, as long as Microsoft gives

us the option, in Windows 9 to have the Metro

or to have the standard, the classic standard

of a desktop, as long as I'm given an option,

I'm not going to sit here and pan the system,

or the new operating system. You know. Should

we? Oh, what are you going to say? Well, I was

going to say we should go ahead and take. commercial

break and come back with the listener feedback

and a short topic. Alrighty then. So see you

right after this. I'm Colin Becker. My name's

Geek Unlimited, and before I get to the listener

feedback, somebody I know on Facebook is promoting,

and I'll include this in the show notes, a online

TV series that he's making with Indiegogo. Which

is similar to Whatever that other one was I Can't

remember the name for right now You mean the

comic one no the convention one? No, this is

um this is the guy I built that um that magazine

site for Like a local film pretty movie guy His

name is Brad Leo Lyon, but he's he's got a online

TV sitcom supposed to be kind of a Comedy slash

kind of strange show. It's it's going to be an

online TV sitcom called roommates They're trying

to build a actual set which is Because they have

no money, which is why they're asking for money

I don't know, it looks a little interesting and

they're talking about bringing in people that

people may know at some point. So go over there

and support that. I'll drop all the information

in the show notes. Awesome. So getting into the

listener feedback, last week we asked, what is

the thing you'd like to see come true that was

invented within a geeky show? And before we get

into that, is there anything specifically you

want to mention? Well, we've seen people create

lightsabers that are real. Communicators, tricorders.

Yeah, we've seen... you know replicas of Knight

Rider and kit and all that stuff and there's

a huge community of KR customs and There's kit

GPS is there's all kinds of stuff for that I

Really can't I'm more practical honestly than

that as much as As much as I'd love to see Hot

Rod and RC jump out of Transformers the movie.

I know that's never gonna happen I don't know.

It's just one of those things where I latch like

as Much as I well first of all I don't drive

but as much as I know I would never even be able

to find one I would love to see in person one

of the 1971 kudos that was used in nash bridges

Because that's just a really cool car. I used

to love that TV show um but really i can't think

of any okay i one and i think they're coming

next year i hope they are nike is gonna hopefully

do the power laces that's the one thing that

i can think of that i would absolutely want to

see come true as neat as it is i don't know if

i'd actually want to own a pair Because I could

just see that being like one of those like in

cars they have In like Cadillacs, I only know

of this because we had a guy because I Just to

preface this before I go off in a weird tangent.

I Got recently promoted to a drac manager, which

is dealer rent -a -car and Which I had to Google

because I didn't know what the hell drac meant

They just kept calling it Drac and I'm like,

I don't know what that is But anyways, there

was a guy I had to go to a local GM plant and

he's got a Cadillac and it's his decked out Cadillac

to the point that you press the button and shades

come up from the window sills of the back window

the side windows When when you press the button

for that, it's got self tightening seat belt

Which is very much like the power laces But he

said that it started going haywire and He says

it got tough enough. He says that it was crushing

his chest. So he had to take it off He says if

that were a woman he's like and she were pregnant

it would pop that baby right And so I was like,

oh so that's a feature we don't need that's included

in cars It's like you don't need the hospital

we've got the car to do that for you But yeah,

so I mean it's like it's another one of those

things it's it's unnecessary but I'm not saying

it isn't cool. Yeah, but I would like to see

something that would actually help I don't know

like maybe a Jetsons car where it folds up into

a briefcase or Or transporters or Shuttlecraft

so we don't actually need cars that right on

the road and where you have to replace tires

and all that stuff not saying stuff wouldn't

go wrong with them but I'd rather see that because

then we wouldn't need roads we could just have

grass and it just roads where we're going we

don't need exactly give me the Doc Brown car

well see here's the thing you know you mentioned

teleporters or the holiday the holiday I know

they're getting close but I God. Well, here's

the thing. You know, you mentioned teleporters,

and I'm thinking if the entire world had teleporters,

like, no matter... Oh, God. They crossed the

streams. No, no, no, no, no, no. I was about

to say, no matter the cost of these things, of

whatever it would cost to have a teleporter in

your house, can you imagine the travel? Like...

Seriously, you set the thing... Let's say, for

example, I don't know if this is true or not,

and if it's not, I'm just making shit up. Let's

say Mary's part of her family lives in California.

For example, you, she, and Ian... can each get,

you can set your teleporter to go to whatever

the address is or whatever. And as long as they

had a teleporter on that end, it would basically

cancel all need for the airline industry or for

baggage claim checks or for security checks.

Or automotive vehicles or buses. Yeah, exactly.

That's what I'm saying. Every person on the planet

having a teleporter, that would be a great travel

gimmick. That would be awesome. Best gimmick

ever. The bad thing would be when people drunk

teleport. There would be regulations against

it. They would have breathalizers on it that

would take your blood. That sounds like something

Dodd would say. Because that's kind of what,

maybe kind of remember that. That would actually

be a funny conversation to have with them. Yeah,

I just drunk teleported and my ass is on the

other side of this wall. You know, you'd find

people dismembered. I don't know where my damn

arm went. But, you know, or they teleport in

between walls. It would kill them on teleportation.

You just be at home and all of a sudden, you

know, a lifeless bloody corpse would just be

hanging from your wall. It'd be horrible, but

it Yeah, when you say someone to be trapped in

a wall almost I can think of is it's like when

you have deer heads sticking out and you know,

they're on here Except it's just like you see

a dirt face with us You know, there's the same

kind of face people do when they're doing selfies

and crap So you see all the which those are mostly

drunk people doing those so Because I'm sorry

anybody that calls a picture of themselves selfies

That's asinine I hate that that is so stupid

Well, you know you mentioned you know someone

being stuck in a wall All as I can think of is

two things Elastigirl in the Incredibles She

wasn't necessarily stuck in a wall, but she was

stuck in a couple of doors uh... and smoke screen

from transformers prime when there was one point

where the the uh... the weapon that allowed him

to walk through walls uh... was taken away from

him and he ended up being stuck in the wall i

don't know, teleporters to me, yes i know there's

a lot of bad things that could probably happen

with them but i was trying to really bring up

only the good points of having a damn teleporter

it was like an afterthought Yeah. Yeah. I want

a fusion cannon. I want to send people to another

dimension. Oh god. Oh god. I want a... I'd give

them a one straight ticket straight to hell.

Oh hell. Alls we all need is a bunch of phantom

zone projectors walking around this place. Great.

No, but think about it though. If like... Say

for example, I know this would never happen,

but say for example, me, you, Michael Wilson,

say we all got together on Facebook in a Facebook

message and we wanted to record an episode of

whatever Transformers thing we were doing at

the time. And we'd be like, if there were cell

phones, we'd be like, okay, whose house are we

recording at now? And whichever of the three

that isn't the person's house could teleport

to that person's house and we could all do the

podcasting live in person together So I'm trying

to think of good purposes for the teleporters

Not necessarily all the bad crap you can do with

it because the bad crap you could do with a teleporter

I mean You know, I guarantee you a lot of guys

would you know teleport into the girls locker

room It's just one of those things Oh, God. It's

always been a dream of mine to teleport. No,

I'm just playing. Fun with teleporters. Fun with

transportation. That'd be horrible. But anyways,

switching gears before we go too far down the

rabbit hole. So Freddy Savage says sorry, but

the TARDIS is a trillion times better than the

DeLorean I love back to the future and all but

the TARDIS does a lot more than the DeLorean

ever could It could make a DeLorean if it really

wanted I get you guys who aren't fans, but you

got to respect the TARDIS lol. I Don't know enough

about the TARDIS. I know what it is and I know

kind of what it does But I'm sorry a blue police

box versus a silver GMC DeLorean. Well this is

the thing, I guess I'm confused about it, and

it's my own fault I haven't really paid too much

attention to Doctor Who too much. But again,

it's one of those kind of, I'm gonna dub it Steve

-isms, because it's something that I cannot get

past. and I just can't get into it. I know it's

extreme sci -fi, but I just have a hard time

with it. But what is the correlation between

the... I guess I don't know what the TARDIS and

the Sonic screwdriver are, because the screwdriver

looks like Dr. McCoy's pen that he gives people

shots with, and the telephone booth reminds me

of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. so I guess

I'm trying to figure out what the difference

is I believe the sonic screwdriver is the weapon

that he uses again I don't know ladies and gentlemen

do not crucify me in the comics yes comments

I'm in the comics shut up I'm actually you're

gonna google that shit of course the sonic screwdriver

is a fictional tool in the British science fiction

television program Doctor Who and spinoffs. It

is a multifunctional tool used by the doctor.

Its most common function is that of a lockpick.

Oh. So it's a universal lockpick. That's what

it says its most common function is, but can

be used to perform other operations such as performing

medical scans, remotely controlling other devices,

tracking alien life, and using red setting or

dampeners. It can control the properties of atoms

and molecules on a small scale. There you go.

Like I said, it's his accessory piece. Whereas

the other the TARDIS is his transportation Yeah,

I can see that I Yeah, again wasn't too familiar

with it I I would have a request if the good

doctor would be so inclined to remove a certain

person from office, but that's just I'm gonna

catch hell for that Connor Murphy says I can

think of many more things I would like to not

come true that have happened in geeky shows I

feel like most geeky shows are based on many

bad things happening and many people dying I

love firefly but I'd never want to live in that

world Buffy is fun but please let's not have

demons roaming the earth Maybe Knight Rider,

Mr. Feeny, Boy Meets World connection as the

voice of a car. I'd get behind that. I think

most people would like Feeny to talk to him through

their car. Well, now that's the thing. I mentioned

that earlier. There are Knight Rider, Knight

Industries 2000 kit GPS. Now, is it actually

Feeny that or is it a sound delight? You mean

William Daniels? No, I think it is him. Let me

because search, but I think it is him. It'd actually

be cool to take all the phineasms of him doing

all of his lessons and put them into a giant

soundbox. Soundboard. Yeah. That would be cool.

Let's see. Navtones. It says official kit GPS

voice from Navtones. It's a video on YouTube.

So It might be I don't know I don't know he's

like 89 years old so Say Jedi disaster says I'd

love to see the dragon balls in real life dragons

that you that grant wishes can't get much better

than that That would be good for things that

You know, like say somebody miraculously just

Forgive my Informality here, but just drop dead

Because then you could bring them back or you

could fix certain issues like certain time travel

elements or Good lord I know all roads lead back

to the low road, which yeah, we're already in

that Andre Walters says so Conan Jimmy Fallon

and today's late -night hosts aren't funny, but

rush hour Beverly Hills cop 3 and Police Academy

3 are funny interesting. That's all I can say

I Tried to watch the first episode of girl meets

world world and couldn't get through it It's

clearly meant for 12 year olds, which is fine.

The first season of boy meets world was the same

way I just can't watch a TV show meant for preteens

without feeling creepy Which again, I guess I

should read or Kevin and Dan's because it kind

of goes with that. Kevin says, Mike is not known

for his great taste in late night host or stand

up comedians. And then he puts smiley face. He

says, I'm not watching Girl Meets World either,

but that's most likely because I didn't watch

Boy Meets World that much either. However, I

will say that there is no reason you should find

watching any show or movie that is more geared

towards another demographic is creepy. That's

just not right. And then Dan says, oh, yes, that's

crazy. I mean, I don't get that at all How can

you expect honest opinions if we write someone

off based upon a viewpoint? I have far more respect

for someone who disagrees with me honestly then

agrees with me dishonestly I'll fight for my

opinion and challenge yours, but I find that's

the point of all of this See here's the thing

Andre had commented One other time to me And

we went back and forth further down in the thread

from last week's show. I asked him, I said, so

because I watch Sweet Life on Deck or because

I watch Alf from 1986, does that also make me

a creepy guy? Because now I'm 34 years old and

I, you know, there's, you know, kids in Alf or,

you know, the kids on the Sweet Life on Deck

aren't, you know, at the time of that production

of that show weren't my age. It's just one of

those things where here's the thing folks When

Boy Meets World was on the air I grew it was

Yes, it was a preteen show, but the way I see

it and even it came from the creators mouth I

am most definitely having you embed this one

in the post I just saw an interview recently

with Michael Jacobs on the after bus TV network

He says that both Boy Meets World and Girl Meets

World are family shows they're about the family

unit. Yes, Girl Meets World is a little young

now, but as he said, you know, Boy Meets World

was also a little young when it started. He did

say, Michael Jacobs went on to say in this interview,

that as the show progresses, it's going to grow

up very fast. And it did in Boy Meets World too.

Right, exactly. Like the first year was very,

you know, grade school -y feeling and then...

even though it's middle school, and then it kind

of like accelerates really fast. Right, exactly.

And see, here's the thing. I was 13 when Boy

Meets World started. I was 20 when it ended.

So did I watch the show all the time after about

15 or 16 years old? No, but I caught it here

and there. And, you know, I don't see how watching

the Disney Channel or watching ABC Family, it

makes me a creepy guy. Because first of all,

what if men my age, or hell, even guys your age,

you're a perfect example. You have a wife and

a kid. You're a parent, you're a father. Of course

you're going to watch the Disney Channel because

that's what your kid is watching. You know what

I mean? Even before I had the Disney Channel,

or even before Ian was born, I... We both watched

the Disney Channel. But we watched it because

it was more wholesome than a lot of other TV.

Granted, we still watch shows like, you know,

Prison Break or, you know, 24 Supernatural. Right.

You know, stuff like that. But when there's nothing

else on, we always turn to Disney because we

could actually stomach what was on. Well, it

wasn't even stomach it. It was the fact that

it wasn't necessarily crap. Because a lot of

what's on TV now is crap. Because I'm not going

to sit there and watch a reality show. Because

to me, Honey Boo Boo and all these other morons

that are on TV that are getting all this publicity

for being jackasses, to me there's no reason

that they should even be featured on television.

There's no reason because that's dumbing down

our society and I would much rather watch a children's

show and be able to shut my brain off and just

enjoy it rather than sit there and go, wow, this

is pretty freaking stupid of reality TV or, you

know, again, these morons that are constantly

on TV going, you know, with their almost documentary

style reality bull crap that they they usually

do. So, I mean, I we've watched like I mean,

we watched the Disney Channel from. When well

way back when when it was like the Raven on there

and a bunch of other you know We've watched pretty

much every show since I mean granted. There's

some that we find completely dumb Here, they're

like the like the the new one that I didn't do

it or whatever it is Yeah, that one's pretty

that one's pretty dumb, but like the dog with

the blog I find entertaining because it's you

know from the dogs viewpoint. It's what it's

funny because you know talking dog I mean And

then, you know, I've watched some of the other

ones, like I liked, you know, the Sweet Life,

and then I liked the Wizards and, you know, the

Jesse or, you know. Yeah. You know, some of the

other ones that have been on there. So, I mean,

it's not like they're all bad, you know, but

it's also once you hit a certain age, certain

things just kind of appeal to you again or more.

Than they did when you were younger. So like

I mean if you kind of argue that those preteen

shows are Creepy you could almost argue that

watching Transformers or of any degree or or

any of those kind of cartoons you're being Creepy

because you're watching children's shows. I mean

It's it's almost of that same. I mean I feel

Weird among other adults when I tell them that

I watch um cartoons or you know i mean because

i'd rather watch cartoons than you know watch

you know some of the you know they're like oh

you see the reality show no i don't watch reality

tv i watch cartoons sorry yeah well see here's

the thing with boy meets world and girl meets

world i was stoked to even hear that they were

doing a sequel series like and you you know this

i've told you this i would much rather have sequel

series done than reboots And like we've already

said, it's the same staff, it's the same creator.

you know, he knows his vision, and it's basically

continuing Cory and Topanga's story from the

end of the first series. It's going to be a vastly

different series from Boy Meets World as far

as there are some character similarities and

stuff like that, but it's going to tackle different

issues of today's audience, whereas Boy Meets

World tackled the issues of the 90s to early

2000s audience. Well, the thing is, it will date

it over time because it will fit with that timeline.

However... I mean because I mean you look at

some of the technology in the old you know the

old show compared to now and and so on but I

mean yeah they're gonna cover some of the same

ground as Boy Meets World and just kind of modernize

and bring it to today's world but they're also

going to touch on like because I know that they're

bringing Sean back and they're there yeah he's

gonna you know kind of relate to the the whole

Maya situation because it's similar to him growing

up. And then there's going to be the grandparents

going to be in it, and then the younger brother

from the last three episodes of Boy Meets World.

And then they don't have Eric or the sister.

They don't have them confirmed yet. If they do

show up, it'll be season two. Well, Michael Jacobs

said in that interview that I mentioned that

Right now there are no plans for will to come

back, but there's reasons for that and The hosts

and asked him so who's gonna do the phoenix all

he said no one except for Wilfredo will ever

do the phoenix all He did say in the interview

that Ryder strong who plays Sean Hunter Actually,

I think it's the end of the first season or the

beginning of the second season whenever that

starts He's actually gonna be a full -time director

on the show Oh, nice. So, which means he'll probably

show up from time to time in the series, but

he'll... From time to time, yeah. But Michael

Jacobs was basically saying in this interview

that, as I said a moment ago, that the show is

centered around a family. It may seem like a

pre -teen show, but I didn't tune into Boy Meets

or Girl Meets World to see Rowan Blanchard and...

No, everybody tuned in that knew it from before

tuned in because of Corrine Topanga. Right, exactly.

I mean, sure, I'm being introduced to these new

characters, which are Korean Topanga's children,

which is fine. You know... Zandra gonna sit here

and tell me that anyone who watched the four

years of good luck Charlie that everyone's creepy

because Every guy on the planet is creepy because

we watch that that was a family show that Disney

Channel did No, I mean I can see if you're thinking

like bad thoughts about certain things while

you're watching this stuff Yeah, or if you're

just kind of a creeper anyway But I mean if you're

just watching it because you enjoy the the comedy

of a family it that because I mean let's face

it There's not a lot of family television anymore.

Whereas in the 80s and 90s. We had a ton of it.

Yep Exactly. You had the Cosby's. You had Home

Improvement. You had Roseanne. You had all these

other shows that were kind of ... You had Step

by Step, Full House, Family Matters. It was pretty

common to have a family television show and then

came the 2000s with the reality and all that

went out the window. So I mean, I think it's

kind of almost a revival and return to family

television. I mean, you had Last Man Standing

come back or come into the fold, which is actually

the first new family television show that's been

on in the last decade. Yeah, and then and then

you're starting to you know Disney reviving boy

meets world and girl meets world, you know into

it That's I mean, that's another one that's come

into the fold. So I mean, yeah I mean good luck

Charlie and some of those other ones are kind

of quasi family, but This one's more so because

there's already that connection Yeah, I mean

good luck Charlie was a family. It was based

on it was based on a family of what? fourth well

it ended up being based on a family of six. Well,

seven. Seven? They had four kids and then they

had five kids. They had five kids? Yeah. Yeah,

yeah, families. Okay, so yeah. I pay attention.

But with math, math, what is it? What is this

thing you call math? One, seven, equals ten?

One, two, three, nineteen kids and counting.

Oh God don't even just don't it's reality don't

even Okay, here's the thing with good luck Charlie

that show had personalities Anyone can relate

to whether it's the son PJ whether it's you know

the daughter Teddy and what she was going through

whether it's the father Bob Duncan You know and

and the funny thing is and I said I think I said

this last week when you were talking about king

of the nerds There are two actors that I more

recognize from from Disney Channel than anything

else, which is Robert Carradine he was the father

in Lizzie McGuire and Eric Alan Kramer who is

Bob Duncan on Good Luck Charlie. What I would

find out later after looking up Eric Alan Kramer's

info is that he is also Little John from Robin

Hood Men in Tights. Really? Yup. I never caught

that, and I love that movie. I know, I never

caught that, and I love that movie too. That's

one of my favorite comedy films. Yeah, absolutely.

I captured Picard as King Arthur. Yes, yes he

is. It's just one of those things where, for

me personally, like I said earlier, I came back

to see what happened to the characters I knew

and enjoyed back when Boy Meets World was on.

And now I'm on this new adventure with their

kids and whatever they're going to introduce.

So it's not just nostalgia for me It's a continuation

of what the nostalgia was for the old series

because they're telling new stories so You know,

I guess you know what boils down to is to each

his own, you know If Andre doesn't want to watch

it, that's more than fine, you know I mean if

it's something that bothers you or you don't

just don't click with it Then obviously you're

not gonna watch it But I mean if it's something

that you know, there's a certain reason it resonates

with you and whatnot then you're of course going

to watch it. I mean, kind of jumping into the

other subject about late night TV hosts, because

again, there's nothing wrong with that either.

Everybody has their own taste. Like I said, Conan's

kind of hit or miss for me, but I would much

rather watch him than Letterman. I like Stephen

Colbert, so I'm actually excited to see him come

to television. Or night late night cable. Yeah,

whatever He's taking over Dave's spot. Yeah So,

I mean I'm looking forward to seeing what he

does with it Yeah, and then I really like Jimmy

Fallon. But again, I followed Jimmy Fallon since

the days of SNL so I mean he was doing you know,

the celebrity Jeopardy with Will Ferrell and

the other guys and then He would do Adam Sandler

impressions on the show, do songs, weekend update,

random skits. And just like Adam Sandler would

kind of lose his cool while he was doing them.

So, I mean, it's one of those things I just you

can just tell that guy likes to have fun and

goof off. So, I mean, it's I enjoy his show because

he seems more genuine and down to earth with

hanging with the stars than anybody else. Yeah.

You know when I sit on the on the comments last

week that I I think late night has gone down

the hill I think it is funny has gone downhill

now. I Just look at all these late night hosts,

and I just don't any of them even Dave I haven't

enjoyed David Letterman since probably 1996 1995

somewhere around there honestly seriously I haven't

I haven't enjoyed them and almost you know 10

or 11 years now I Tune into some of these shows

to see like when the blacklist had premiered

on NBC they had James spider spader on on on

on Fallon. He was one of the first guests on

Fallon when Fallon took over Jimmy sat there

and talked to him and talked to him. They mentioned

the blacklist twice the entire interview I thought

the whole point of the late night interview stuff

when guests come on there to talk about what

they're doing is they actually talk about what

they're doing. I have no problem with Jimmy having

his own style and it not being the Johnny Carson

or the Jay Leno style, but at least talk to the

guest about what they're doing. I mean, you know,

that's really my problem with with the episodes

that I saw of Jimmy Seth Meyers on on late night

is just unwatchable Seth Meyers needs to stick

to George Bush impressions or whatever the hell

Craig Ferguson is funny at times. I like him.

But again, I just don't I just don't watch late

-night TV that much anymore. I miss Johnny I

When it comes to Conan the he's an I said this

on the comments, he's an amazing writer. I just

don't like his on -camera personality, persona

kind of thing. He constantly does the crappy

Donald Trump hair flip with his hair. He's too

obsessed with, oh, how does my hair look? And

jumps right into the camera. And so all you see

is his... Split ends or whatever else. I don't

like that style of comedy I have nothing against

the guy. I mean he wrote some damn good funny

simpson simpson episodes I just don't think with

the way he executes his jokes. It's not my comedy

style at all Yeah So what else we got I think

that's it Yeah, I think that's it too because

I'm my head's about to fall on my keyboard So

I guess a little kind of question yes for For

next week is What? What kind of well, I mean

and this is kind of jumping in a little bit of

gaming territory, but what kind of Games do you

kind of like to play I I mean or have wanted

to kind of try out. I only say this because games,

it seems nowadays, don't come with demos. Yeah,

the demo days have been demolished. Well, and

it's kind of unfortunate because I would at least

like to play... because I just played the Battlefield

4 beta last week. Right. And it was alright.

I didn't care for it, but it was alright and

then My dad my brothers played battlefield for

like regular battlefield for with all the expansions

and everything else well They want me to play

it something terrible one. I don't necessarily

have the time that they do and two I don't want

to spend the 80 bucks yeah, because it's 85 bucks

to get the game and the the expansions and For

one even if they were gonna pay for it for me.

I want to know that I'm gonna actually enjoy

the game So I'd like to play it, but I don't

want to have to buy it to play it to try it,

you know I mean, it's one of those scenarios

because and I really I don't I I say made torrent

TV shows Which again, I only do if I can't find

them. Mm -hmm or I miss them or whatever, but

I really don't I discourage downloading torrents

of games because I've only done it once and granted

it was crap the time that I did it. Nothing worked

right and it just it's it's a waste of time.

Plus if you're going to buy or play the game

you might as well just buy it so you can do everything

with it. But I just it's one of those things

I want to try it but I don't want to have to

resort to torrenting. Right. I think for me,

I think that honestly, you know, you ask what

happened to demos. I honestly think demos got

demolished by beta programs. Think I think that

I think getting into a beta for whatever game

it is, but not everybody can get in them That's

the hard part right that that's what I'm saying

They've done away with like and I think the other

thing is and I could be wrong about this Michael

Powers You can correct me in the comments if

you'd like You know, we used to have a PlayStation

magazine electronic gaming month. We used to

have all these magazines that you could do subscriptions

to and the magazine would come with a demo disc

for whatever game system. Obviously PlayStation

Monthly is going to have a PlayStation demo disc.

I think that because the current generation of

gaming is kind of moving away from that a little

bit, that that's where it's kind of gone. I don't

know. I'm just a PC gamer who has to wait a year

and a half to play Grand Theft Auto 5 I'm a PC

gamer again Again, I said it because I'm not

buying the new consoles just so I can play Batman

Arkham Arkham Knight I did I do want to give
