Entertainment and Tech News Roundup: Gladiator Sequel, Star Wars Casting, Powerless Cameos, Battlefield 1, and Artificial Skin

You are tuned in to Steve Megatron on Altered

Geek. and welcome to AlterGeek. I'm your host,

Steve Megatron Phillips, and in this episode

of the show, I'll be talking about some other

geeky pop culture news. I've been trying to keep

it busy with various things related to that,

and with all the TV, the news, the movies, all

of the stuff going on in the geekdom and in technology,

I've just been having fun talking about this

kind of stuff for a while. I will have hosts

again on in the near future. I'm just trying

to nail down some key features I want to use

when I have hosts and key features I want to

use when I don't. I'm still gonna be shooting

to do this show about twice a week. I'm trying

to figure out the semantics of the stats and

how often I should release, what days I should

release. So if there's like a preferred day that

everybody downloads podcasts, I'd be really interested

to hear that in the description below or in the

comments area. I've been kind of shooting to

do like Wednesdays and Fridays. However, with

how well the Wednesday release was doing last

week, I pushed it to this week rather than Friday.

And so this week I'll have double episodes rather

than... the next week or It just kind of depends

on what topics I have coming up the other thing

is is if I'm going to have somebody on that's

not going to be high -energy or Swearing a lot.

I really am NOT into the whole having to censor

and edit people anymore So I would just prefer

not record with those people And it's not like

it's terrible. It's not like it's, you know,

I have this thing against it. I just personally

don't want it in my show. So I've been trying

not to do that lately. And as well as, if I don't

have energy, I'm not recording on that day. I've

just been recording on days that I have the energy

built up. And the wellness of mind, I should

say. Because I don't want exhausting yawns or

anything else showing up. So I have been doing

a lot of other stuff in regards to school, in

regards to the TV stuff, in regards to just a

lot of website background stuff that I'm kind

of getting into and learning. There's going to

be a lot of new content and new structuring with

GeekCast Radio. I am going to be bringing back

a lot of the old archive content. I've figured

out a way to do this and not put a taxing on

the server. So, time will tell on that. Unfortunately,

all the original comments are gone. I mean, technically

they are, but I'm not going to go through, I

don't know, a thousand episodes of content and

replace the MP3 link so it's easier for me to

import from where they're posted at now than

to go back and do it the other direction, which

I still have the backups of everything. I'm just

not... wanting to go that direction. So, I guess

getting into it, one of the first movie things

that I noticed this past week is Ridley Scott

reveals a Gladiator sequel is planned. Except

it's kind of a wonder of how they're gonna do

this, because I guess they want Russell Crowe

back, but his character Maximus died in the movie.

That came out, you know, Oscar winner movie from

2000 So I'm kind of wondering what they're gonna

do There's rumors that there was a storyline

Where They might have him going through the underworld

or something or Or whatnot, but I don't really

know how they would do it There's there's been

yeah, I just I'm not really quite sure what they

do I think that when it's been that long on a

film like if it's not been like a couple years

Like it's this has been 17 years now at this

point. There's not really a point in going back

and we've seen that with like things like Die

Hard and Dumb and Dumber and I'm hoping that

Beverly Hillscop for when that comes out whenever

that comes out But again, time will tell on that.

As far as Star Wars The Last Jedi, Frank Oz refuses

to say if he's in it, but there's been speculation

that he's been there recording stuff for it.

So I'm not really sure what to think of that.

I would be okay if they had some like CG Yoda

moments like popping up Because it's not like

there aren't other people that can do the voice

of that Or do you know because it's a puppet.

It's it's not that hard to do as opposed to having

Alec Guinness Coming out of the middle of nowhere,

so I'm wondering how they're gonna resolve this

if they decide to have Obi -Wan show up instead.

But I'm fine with it if they bring Yoda back.

So I commented last week about Logan. There's

that. It's such a great film. If you haven't

seen it, go see it. Speaking of another superhero

related content, Powerless. I guess Adam West

is gonna get star soon and I'm fine with it.

He's supposed to be playing Because Powerless

if you don't know is led by Alan Tudyk is the

cousin of Bruce Wayne like Van Wayne, which it's

It's not a very intelligent show But it's fun

So with that being said It's not bad with the

Easter eggs that they've been throwing in there,

but it's saying that Adam West, you know the

original Batman from the 60s will be back coming

back as Dean Wayne the chairman of Wayne Industries

board So it's saying following the attack in

Gotham City, Wayne Industries has to make some

cuts and Mr. West visits Charm City to deliver

the bad news to Van and Emily. Will the dynamic

duo of Van and Emily be able to save the team

at Wayne Security or are Charm City heroes destined

for the unemployment line? So it says West has

already provided the voiceover for a powerless

promo. So this is the it's they're doing it as

a fun way of bringing him back. So it's billed

as a DC's first comedy, but uh, yeah, so I I

mean i'm fine with it. It would be kind of cool

I guess there's been talks that the producers

already have a plan to bring get grant gustin,

uh the flash into powerless uh, but Yeah So I

guess they're trying to do it because Maybe ratings

i'm not really sure but it says uh, if west cameo

doesn't help the show, they think that an Arrowverse

crossover could do it. I'd be okay with it, but

I really don't see the point. What I really want

to see on TV right now is a live -action Batman.

That's what I want to see. I know Gotham is kind

of the prelude to that, but I want to actually

see a fully -fledged Batman on TV and stop giving

me rehashes of things that would happen in Batman's

universe for Arrow. That's what I really want

to see. EA had this special going on. I think

I talked about it on last episode, but I'm not

entirely sure. About their Battlefield 1 new

expansion coming out. Will be coming out this

week, or has come out this week. which is called

They Shall Not Pass. It's the first of the expansion

premium pass, which you can still get for $49

.99 with the deluxe edition embedded in it. I

was looking through the maps because it's French

maps. The new maps are Verdun Heights, the opening

barrage of Battle of Verdun created massive forest

fires. in which players will fight for domination,

it's an uphill battle towards the massive fortress

of Verdun, grinding struggle where the artillery

never stops, and the Devil's Anvil continues

to consume even the bravest combatants. It looks

like kind of a rehash in one of the other maps,

except it's all fiery instead of not. It's still

got the little bunkers centralized all over the

place. There's Soysen's map? The biggest tank

assaults of World War I, the French 10th Army

moves to take back Soysons using their powerful

Saint Chamann tanks. Plains tanks and infantry

clash in the beautiful French countryside in

the early hours of a hot summer day. Only the

thunderstorm is louder than the war. It looks

pretty neat. It just looks like kind of like

a city that you just get to destroy just like

everything else. And very much like the one that's

on fire, it's another one with a bunker. very

much like the one that has the train in it in

the current and it's called Rupture. It says

in dire need to capture key bridges across the

Aizen River the French find themselves back into

battlefields where poppies grow over a rusty

wreck from previous tank battles. It might seem

calm but this maze of steel beasts provides an

excellent place for those who plan an ambush

as the sun sets over Fontanoi the battle wakes

up. So there's one other map And I have my reservations

and my predictions for this. It's called Fort

Deval. Devox, you could say. The first big engagement

inside a fort during World War I takes place

in the dark underworld of Fort Deval. Down in

the maze of dark galleries and wet stone corridors,

French and Germans fight ferociously with grenades,

guns, bayonets, and flamethrowers. Watch your

corners. Which means no tanks, no planes, no

automobiles. Yes, I just made a planes, trains,

and automobiles joke, but I'm wondering what

the behemoth will be in that. Probably just a

big old bomb. The map looks very much to me like

it could be another operation locker with the

way the corridors are set up, but it also could

be another operation metro type of map. It's

got that very tunnel -y looking, reminiscent

thing to me, so I'm thinking we might have something

on our hands like that, which could become a

game favorite. But time will tell. I'm waiting

to see what the other expansions come out with

and see if there's anything that will compare

with Operation Metro and Locker to me, because

to me those are my two favorite maps besides

Siege of Shanghai and Battlefield 4. So I'm really

hoping that some of those elements make it back

in this, even though it's World War I. But yeah,

the French army joins the fight and they got

a new steel behemoth Tank that's super heavy

beast and then they've got assault tank guns

and trench raider elite class new stationary

weapons and Two new operations devil's anvil

and beyond the marn and then a plethora of other

things that are that are involved but yeah, that's

Kind of what to expect in that new setup there.

And also in news is 32117 Mass Effect Andromeda

will be dropping on EA Access and Origin, so

that looks pretty slick. Being that I will still

be playing BF1 at the time and I have all the

Command and Conquer series now. I probably am

gonna wait to get this, and the reason I'm gonna

wait is because not that it's not appealing,

I'm very, very, very interested in this. What's

kind of drawing me to this is I don't know if

I'm gonna have the time to play it, and so I

don't really wanna purchase it for full price

at this point. However, however, I do... plan

on getting it eventually. And when I do get it,

I'm probably going to wait until it's on sale,

maybe Black Friday, and then get it. But it's

very much something that I would probably play.

As I did play the other previous Mass Effect

games, it's still in that wheelhouse of what

I would do. So, also coming out of Nice information.

I I was curious about this a series of unfortunate

events Lemony Snicket I did watch the movie with

Jim Carrey years ago when it came out I know

that Neil Patrick Harris is playing Count Olaf

instead of Jim Carrey in this Netflix show and

I know that season one's been Pretty well received.

I haven't had a chance to check it out yet But

I know that season two Just got confirmed so

that's that's gonna be cool for those that are

fans of it I again I still want to check it out

I haven't had a chance yet but yeah I I think

that this is I I don't I guess I really love

the fact that Netflix is kind of grasping at

things that aren't really out there or that nobody's

willing to do but at the same time it's kind

of Some of their content I don't care for but

I guess, you know, I can't please everybody And

then getting into some cool cool tech Oxford

scientists are building robots that wear artificial

skin before it's transplanted to human bodies

so it says that The line between man and machine

is only getting thinner as intelligent algorithms

are starting to perceive sights and sounds like

human beings. Androids are taking more anthropomorphic

forms powered by actuators, wrapped silicone,

and latex skins. Even these skins are becoming

increasingly lifelike because earlier this year

researchers created an artificial material that's

twice as sensitive as human skin. And this month,

a team of Oxford professors proposed a provocative

idea, growing human tissue on humanoid robots.

So essentially they're going to be doing that

movie with Robin Williams. I don't know if it

was AI. No, that was AI, artificial intelligence.

I kept wanting to think it was something else,

but... Yeah. No, it wasn't that. What was that

one that Robin Williams did? He did one just

like that. I guess it was kind of right. He was

in AI as Dr. No, but he was in Bicentennial Man

as Andrew Martin, where he was an android or

a robot that eventually became fully synthetic.

human by the end of the movie so that was out

in 99 so if you haven't seen it I'm sorry if

this spoils it so yeah that's that's kind of

kind of an exciting thing there to hear because

that's gonna really help people out that for

instance have been burn victims or people that

are having a problem you know growing skin and

they can you know do this and and give people

a fighting chance for newer skin. But it says

that, in order to grow clinically relevant grafts,

the researchers say bioreactors, future ones,

will need to push and pull tissues in multiple

directions, adapting stresses, depending on where

the tissue will be implanted into the body and

be able to grow tissue to scale. Basically, it's

almost close enough to mimic the movement structure

of an actual human. but it's not capable of performing

the job just yet. There's a lot of medical applications

that a lot of this science can do, which will

be nice in the near future, but again, it's something

we'll just have to wait for, I guess. And this

is kind of a craptastic story. Big Bang Theory

prequel gets series order John Favreau to direct

and executive produce the pilot So it's gonna

be called Young Sheldon with a straight -to -series

order for the comedy that will focus on the life

of the young Sheldon Cooper I I don't know and

I know a lot of people give the show a lot of

crap They're describing the comedy as Malcolm

in the Middle, but with a young version of Sheldon

And it says that he's gonna executive produce

and not in the original cast of Big Bang Theory

is scheduled to have on -screen roles And it'll

be a single camera comedy instead of a multi

-camera Unlike Big Bang Theory I Don't I don't

really know I mean I know I mentioned this last

week, but I think I really don't like this idea

I too many shows are getting Spinoffs and or

prequels and sequels with new cast. It's why

don't they just create a brand new show? It grafted

around those new characters rather than Doing

this Like if you're gonna have a revival like

the x -files and it was a revival it was short

It was a revival show prison break revival 24

revival and then they're still going back to

late the next generation basically I don't think

every show needs the Star Trek treatment when

it comes to a sequel series and I think that

that's kind of hold holding true a little bit

like I I understand that it's it's the big payoff

for Chuck Lorre since you know he was dependent

on two and a half men when it ended Now this

is you know his main mainstay here A couple of

my friends on Twitter because I was like no no

please no They were like I guess the TMNT theme

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from 87 theme song

wasn't bringing enough royalties to him And I

just couldn't help but chuckle So yeah, I mean

I guess I'm kind of in that same boat. I really

don't care to see it And Tim Silvers even says,

you know, agreed, I'm of the same opinion about

a Han Solo prequel, I just don't care, do something

new. Because I said, you know, in terms of the

Sheldon thing, we honestly need a prequel, make

something new. And I guess that kind of applies

with anything, like what would you guys wish

they didn't reboot or have a sequel or a prequel

to and just do something original? Because I

know that it's been happening a lot lately and

we've been getting a lot of the same stuff Just

kind of crammed on her throat. It is not even

like the superhero fatigue necessarily because

like a little bit of that's come through too,

but I kind of wonder in general If if we're just

getting too much of the same stuff thrown down

us I Don't know. I just I would love to hear

what you guys think on that that conversation

there And then of course the new transformers

the last night you know trailer drops with the

girl giving her remarks about running like a

girl and this like a girl and it's like okay

you know whatever I I see they're trying to get

that demographic which is fine and there's nothing

wrong with it but like the way that they're playing

this this this trailer it's kind of almost pandering

but they're making this girl to be the new hero

Which I'm kind of fine with because like the

male heroes we've had for this series kind of

suck So it it's I'm perfectly fine with it But

the funny thing is is the the description for

the film of the last night This is the key to

saving our future lives buried in the secrets

of the past and I said now just go with me on

this and I said Transformers the last night is

essentially Beast Machines Because you have two

warring factions. I mean, it's almost like machine

wars. You have like beasts and you have, you

know, robots and you have like Unicronians. So

I mean, it's kind of weird. But it's almost like

Beast Machines in that sense and I made the comment

about Because the last night says the key to

saving our future lies buried in the secrets

of the past. Well, Beast Machines, it was the

seeds of the future lie buried in the past. Another

recycling here that probably most people aren't

noticing but One of my my Beast Wars friends

And Transformers friends Chris Was was saying

No, and I says I took the slogans of both and

it's the same thing. She says the quote itself

and nothing more and I'm like Yeah You know,

I don't think that it inspires much confidence,

but We'll see so Gonna go to a quick commercial

break and we'll be back after this You want to

interact with the show well you can get a hold

of us in the following ways you can email us

feedback at AlteredGeek .com or you can fill

out the form on the website on AlteredGeek .com.

locations. You can get it on iTunes, on Google

Play, on Stitcher, and on Toon Ed, Blog Talk

Radio, as well as AlteredGeek .com. And now,

back to the show. And we're back. So, I decided

to take a little siesta the other day when I

was recording, and so this is actually the next

day that I'm recording, which I found to be beneficial

because I gathered some more news, made another

episode, watched some comments, watched some

episodes of some shows, and have a nice little

topic. In the interim, I recorded in all things

Transformers, so go ahead and check that out.

That's some Transformers news, including the

top 15 most weird, bizarre fan theories in the

franchise. Pretty fun stuff. So check that out

on geekcastradio .com and alteredgeek .com. and

thetransformersnetwork .com. I've got a lot of

stuff over there. In the near future, a lot of

the old GCRN of retired shows will be making

a comeback to the website just as soon as I get

a couple of specific things worked out to where

they'll be able to be re -imported and have the

URL for the blog talk player so that we get...

more accurate stats on them. Which, surprisingly,

they're still getting a lot of awesome hits on

for having been off the air for, I don't know,

some of them as much as six years, which is insane.

Like The Beast Unleashed and Tooncast Classic.

Man, six years ago. Time sure flies, man. Tell

you, I've been doing this podcasting stuff since

2007? Late 2006 beginning of 2007 like it's it's

crazy How much this has changed in that amount

of time and the amount of stuff I've recorded?

Over the years it's just I can't I can't fathom

it I've been doing this over ten years now I

Don't know it's just nuts funny thing is both

of my hit shows that I've I've created started

in August of their respective years all things

transformers started in August of 2008 the very

first Saturday of 2008 and funny enough the very

first Friday of 2013 yeah 2013 I created this

And unfortunately, in this instance, the original

host is... I'd like to get Mike Powers back on

here. Scheduling kind of sucks, unfortunately,

because I'd like to catch up and I'd like to

bring him back in on the conversation and kind

of find some cool stuff to converse about, because

it's been a while, so... It'd be kind of like

a new adventure, again. Diving back into it.

And I've noticed in the past, I don't know, 30

episodes or so, I've really gotten re -pumped

back up in this show, and it's kind of awesome

to be revitalized in something you created. And

of course, it wouldn't be as awesome without

the feedback and without the comments and...

the conversation going on with you guys at home,

and I honestly don't know if I would have kept

going had I not had any comments. But the numbers

seemed pretty good, which is surprising. It's

really grown and spiked over this last three

months. But there's always the future. I've kind

of decided that I'm going to go in a little bit

direction diversion when I hit episode 200. Not

entirely sure. I'm still planning out the concept

of it. I don't want to really give too much away.

I know I kind of spoil this every now and again,

but I don't really want to shoot myself in the

foot like with a lot of other ideas I come up

with, and then they just never come to fruition.

As soon as I get back to having... two guest

hosts back on the show. I do want to play that

game that I got where someone has to pitch a

movie type thing and I do have a game, I just

haven't had any opportunity to play it because

unfortunately you need three people to play and

there aren't that many people that live locally

here to play the game in person so I haven't

had a chance to actually take it out of the package

yet which makes me cry. So getting into a little

bit of the news, Saturday Night Live is going

to have a summer primetime run on NBC with Weekend

Update. So NBC's picked up the Weekend Update

for a four week run during the show's summer

hiatus beginning Thursday, August 10th at 9pm.

The half hour telecast will feature... weekend

update anchors, Kellen Jost and Michael Che,

with additional SNL cast members also set to

make appearances. Because the ratings resurgence

for the late -night staple, which has been ranking

among the top programs of the week in adults

18 to 49, beating primetime competition with

its best ratings in decades, I'm kind of in favor

of that because I find that it's one of the most

entertaining parts of Saturday Night Live nowadays.

Not that I don't like some of the skits, but

it kind of depends on the host to me whether

I want to watch the episode. And then I kind

of get the overview of what some of the stuff

is. And if it's not anything I would per se want

to watch, I usually skip to the weekend update

and then kind of fast forward throughout. So

yeah, it's a little bit different. Movie studio

profits may face more punishment in 2017 according

to analysts, which anytime somebody says according

to or some of those big key phrases, it's usually

a sign that it's not going to be good or somebody

doesn't know what they're talking about. They

said that last year's demand domestic box office

increased 2 .2 % and that was with adjustment

for inflation. 2016 was the fourth worst year

at the domestic box office since 2000. What's

more, operating profits dropped by 14 .6%, to

4 .18 billion and Disney accounted for 60 .5

% of the total. Four studios, Universal Dreamcast,

or DreamWorks, Dreamcast, Animation, Lionsgate,

Sony, and Paramount declined more than 40 % with

Sony and Paramount ending the calendar year in

the red. And 2017 will be at least as difficult

because there's some 30 releases, one more than

2016. We'll have budgets of more than a hundred

million. including 20 that are either sequels

or part of ongoing meta franchises such as Marvel,

DC, Star Wars. It says the problem, non -Disney

blockbusters generate an average of $128 million

at domestic box offices in 2016, down from $176

million in 2015 and $162 million in 2014. Overcrowding

and outsized dominance of Disney very clearly

significantly suppressed big budget movie performance

across the rest of the industry. which Disney

does pretty much own a lot of it. I mean, when

you've got all the Marvel, the Star Wars, and

the Disney library, it's kind of hard to squash

anything outside of that. It says Warner Brothers

will be also largely successful this year, including

Disney, because of their DC films, Wonder Woman,

Justice League, and King Arthur, and Dunkirk,

and... some of that kind of stuff. Fox has a

little bit of tougher, they have Alien and War

of the Planet of the Apes. I mean, they just

had Logan. I mean, that was pretty awesome. I

know, third week in a row and I'm talking about

Logan. So, Paramount will probably lose again

because of the fact Transformers, just gonna

leave that there. If you want more, go to all

things Transformers and listen to that. so moving

to another franchise such as Power Rangers it

looks like because it's only like couple at this

point it's like a week and a half before it comes

out in theater which I'm stoked for And I probably

won't see it in theater. I really do want to

see it though, just because I want to see what

they do with it. I did not like the movies that

this director's directed in the past, but I feel

like that this could be a good go. They are having

two cameos from original Power Rangers, and you

can almost guess one of them. He's like the staple

of Power Rangers at this point. I'm surprised

I didn't give him a bigger role, but time will

tell. There's rumor that there's going to be

a mid -credit teaser for the next film featuring

New Lord Zed and a Green Ranger. And while it's

been spoiled before by Blake Foster, Turbo's

Blue Ranger, hinting that Jason David Frank was

part of the Power Rangers movie and Frank denied

it, he is playing Cameo role number one and Amy

Jo Johnston or Johnson is playing cameo role

number two who recently interviewed the cast

Which kind of is fitting that the two of them

are doing it But yeah, it's it's cool to see

two of the originals apparently none of the other

ones were asked to return from the alumni of

the original So yeah, I mean it's it's gonna

be kind of cool to see what they do with it Another

nice little thing that kind of I noticed and

I didn't realize had happened And I think I may

have read this at one point, but I'm not entirely

sure Microsoft disabled every Older version of

Skype for Mac and Windows it says by March 1st

However, I've used Skype Although I haven't logged

in recently until I went to record all things

transformers, so I'm not sure well No, I did

it the previous week and it let me in. Anyways,

I went to go record the episode and I thought

I would load stuff up early and it would not

let me log in. I had 6 .2 something on there

and it's because my call recording software of

Pamela does not work, it's an older version,

does not work with the new Skype and so at one

point I downgraded. But now that Microsoft has...

put the kibosh on that, I had to find an alternative,

and the alternative that I'm using, there's two

alternatives. There's MP3 Skype recorder, completely

free, but it's kind of hard to tell what's going

on in it. I do like Pamela just for the interface,

but there's another one that's actually cheaper.

It's about half the cost, and it's called Talk

Helper, Call Recorder for Skype. And mind you,

these are for Windows. Mac has more variety.

So you can use this talk helper, and I think

it's like 15 bucks or something. For the first

seven days, they actually give you fully unlocked,

whereas Pamela gets you 15 minutes for free per

recording, which I think is kind of a crack if

you're trying something out. Actually very much

like Pamela, but it's it's for you know It's

cheaper, so I'm gonna probably buy this as soon

as The trial runs out in six days, and I actually

do kind of recommend it It's it's very much like

Pamela except Pamela crashes a lot more And I

haven't had any issue with this program so far

So there is that benefit But yeah, I was not

aware or didn't care to realize that they were

killing every version of Skype until this point.

So, Henry Cavill is again joking that Armie Hammer

might be playing Green Lantern, which I would

be fine with in the DC EU, but I honestly just

don't really care at this point what they do.

It I'm just kind of It would spawn this is a

camel on Instagram, but Since he came off in

the injury he's working towards pushing hard

enough to have change and He said he's got to

make sure that he's bigger than Green Lantern

wait what and then kind of left it at that So

We'll see. We'll see. I don't know what they're

going to do, but I would like to see them not

only have Hal Jordan, but maybe John Stewart

as well. There was this other bit of news at

Drop2 about Sam Jackson revealing that he'll

be in Phase 3, and in doing so, The red skull

may be making a reappearance So I I think that

would be cool But Well, we'll have to wait and

see it's Sorry for the typing but yet Sam Jackson

kind of let it slip in a way, but I don't know

if it's actually like him being funnier if it

was actually a slip But I could definitely see

it taking that turn for for a part three and

then going into an infinity war Through part

of that anyway because Nick Fury still has a

couple films left at least that I can think of

and then unfortunately Batman the Batman is reportedly

getting a complete rewrite. I know, right? Like

there isn't enough problems with this movie.

So it's looking like they're gonna go, they're

pushing the production to 2018 and they're going

to, because the director, Matt Reeves, is still

committed to Planet of the Apes, which ends in

June, and they're gonna completely rewrite the

script. So I'm wondering how bad. something was

or what's in it, but Heroic Hollywood actually

had a nice draw of their 10 Batman villains who

deserve a chance on the big screen. And I'm going

to go through the list to make my commentary,

but they say Calendar Man, not a fan, blockbuster,

never heard of him, Firefly, I could see that.

That would be a little bit different and something

to mess with, but again, it's not too intellectually,

it's just another almost like BBS in a sense.

Lady Shiva, okay, that'd be like a League of

Assassins almost. Professor Pig, pass. The Ventriloquist

could be interesting. Black Mask, more interesting.

Clayface would love this actually because this

would be some, it would give them an excuse for

the CGI and... kind of give them a more of a

detective element to it that he would have to

figure something out and kind of do more digging

to kind of get into this. Hush, another one,

good choice. And then the number one is Dr. Hugo

Strange, which again, I could get behind that

as well. So I mean, I think they're all pretty

solid choices. And this is another one that I

have a little bit of pet peeves. Injustice 2

microtransactions detail. Level boost, premium

skins, and shaders. So like it shows like Harley

Quinn with multiple costume aesthetics. Same

thing with like Robin and other characters. I'm

not a fan of microtransactions. I am an idiot

that took part in that in the Earth Wars Transformers

game, and it's only because it was Transformers.

But it's the same token. I honestly hate it.

I don't... That's the only game I've ever dumped

anything into, and that's probably the only game

I'll ever do that with. Unless they had Beast

Wars Megatron and the new fighting game that's

coming out for Transformers for the phone, but

time will tell on that. Disney and Capcom announce

the Disney afternoon collection. 90s, and it

says it's all the old Capcom Disney games. Well,

not all of them anyway. It's like Darkwing Duck,

Tailspin, Chip and Dale, and DuckTales. It's

a $20 bundle, 8 -bit glory days, all new modes

to take advantage of, available for PC, Xbox

One, and PS4 on April 18th. I think there's a

lot better stuff from the SNES they could have

pulled from, honestly. But yeah, that's about

gonna do it. I will do an update next week on

my my my tech gear that I have Because I've had

a chance to use it all now, so Yeah, we'll we'll

have fun with that next week Because I'm hoping

to have a host on so we'll see what happens So

until next time Get alter. Get geeky with the

alter geeks.
