Nintendo Land and Video Game Theme Park Concepts

Hey, this is Steve blue and you are listening

to the geek cast radio network You are tuned

in to Steve Megatron on altered geek Hello and

welcome to altered geek the podcast that is ever

evolving and becoming altered as is our geekdom

We discuss everything from television and film

to gaming, streaming, technology, and simply

put, things we are geeking out to. I'm your humble

host, Steve Megatron Phillips, and as always,

thank you for turning in. Turning. Tuning in.

This episode is a little off kilter as I'm trying

something new. So let me know what you guys think

in all the various places, whether it's GeekCastRadio

.com, feedback at AlteredGeek .com, at AlteredGeek

on Twitter and Facebook, or simply my Twitter

handle at SCP -21. So without further ado, here's

our question of the week. Yes, I'm bringing that

back. So the previous question that I posed on

Twitter anyway, and this is kind of where I'm

going to be holding it, is on my personal Twitter,

at SCP -21, so kind of periodically hold off

for that. I might... switch it to my at alter

geek handle eventually but for right now it seems

to be the easiest way for people to get a hold

of me so how do you feel about your podcast having

segments and some structure but not being radio

i pose this because again i'm trying something

new with this episode where it's going to be

partially segmented and then the part where i

have a co -host will be on the topic of the episode

later on So I get to cover all the same things

I want to cover in general just without Necessarily

having to waste the guest host time on it so

38 % of you said some segments okay 38 % said

bring on the variety 0 % just said just topics

or opinions 25 % said whatever works So my question

for next week that I'd like to plug on here is

are there any shows that you were once in love

with? but have had feelings to tell it essentially

to drop dead or just to pull the plug on it.

The alternating question that I have here is,

if you don't like that one, is what are some

tech gadgets that you bring with you everywhere

you go? just like it could be accessories for

the tech gadgets or it could be the tech gadgets

themselves, but what are some that you take with

you everywhere you go? We'll cover that on the

next episode in the question and feedback section.

So going on to the next part of the show that

we're gonna kind of experiment here, it's gonna

be the app or website of the week. So the app

slash website plugin of the week is Blueberry's

WordPress plugin, which if you're a podcaster,

you know what this is. If you have a WordPress

site, you kind of know what it is maybe depending

on what you use or your utilities or whatnot.

But one of the things that I found interesting

about this and I'll have a lot of this in the

show notes of the episode. They recently did

an update that allows podcasters to set their

shows so they can have people skip to a position,

which again enables podcasters to directly link

and highlight show segments, making it easier

to promote a topic. specific topic to their audience.

Explained Todd Cochran, the raw voice slash blueberry

CEO. He says that he is excited to have this

feature now and we know our podcasters and their

audiences will be too. Previously, you had to

use like the AAC format to kind of do something

in that vein or something similar to that. So

it'll be kind of nice to see where. This takes

place. I'm probably gonna try it out, probably

not right away. Once I more so figure out how

the segments are gonna work in the show, I'll

probably start doing it then. But I do agree

that it is a good idea, being able to allow people

to skip stuff that they, you know, basically

the fat of the episode that they don't want,

and go right to what they're actually clicking

on the episode for, which again, I find to be...

a highly motivational reason for podcasters in

general to use this because it makes your show

more relevant to those that are listening. So

again, it's Blueberry's WordPress plugin, PowerPress,

so if you're a podcaster and you use WordPress

and you use all those things, you need to have

this. It's very helpful for your RSS feed. It's

very helpful for just having your stuff on your

website, the player, anything. Even if you don't

use Blueberry as your podcast host. I've used

Spreaker previously. Before that it was Blog

Talk Radio and before that it was directly on

the server. Again, it's still some things we're

working on on the new website as far as some

of that's concerned. It's definitely a must have

in my opinion if you're going to have the website

in general. Moving on we're gonna have the review

of the week So the review of this week that I

thought I would cover in brief would be The Flash,

episode 501, or season five, episode one, which

was about Barry and Iris' daughter, Nora, or

XS, that showed up during last season around

the time of the wedding and kind of played a

prominent role throughout the show. Also of note

for this episode, I'm not gonna spoil everything

I'm just gonna kind of blitz through some of

the stuff that I found interesting and some of

the things that I liked and didn't like But they

kind of played with this this estranged daughter

from the future concept in this and Barry was

extremely concerned about damaging the timeline

as per usual you get to see her in her costume

you get to see her running Barry has no suit

because it was destroyed at the end of the last

episode and so he essentially has to, they find

one of his old uniforms from season one and he

complains about it not fitting very well and

the The police officers, when he goes to this

particular scene, are like, going old -school

flash and he says, yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

blah. And then he's attempting to fight off the

villain and Axess gets in the way and screws

it up. So then that uniform's toast. And then

they happen to find another one of his current

uniform, which was when he was fighting King

Shark. So it smelled very fishy to him, he said,

and then... We know he gets the new uniform,

which this is where he gets the ring from His

daughter from the flash museum which they reference

So it's it's it's really interesting in that

they finally go back to the Gideon thing where

they referenced the crisis on infinite earths

where Barry disappears or dies supposedly and

You know that he's still missing 25 years later

and they cover the article where Iris West Allen

is still covering stuff about him. They kind

of mentioned, they didn't really mention Ruby

Rose, the Batwoman, in this at all, although

some people are trying to pull nods to it. And

then, you know, they name drop a person named

Ryan Choi who I wasn't even sure who that was.

But it's basically the third Adam and I had to

look that up because I had no idea who that was.

But they had some different guest spots on the

episode and they revealed their big bad at the

end of the next episode. They kind of talk about

that Gorilla Grodd's gonna be back and the Flash

Museum. They started using words like schway,

which took me back to Batman Beyond. I kind of

wish that they would stop with the new 52 references,

which were also in the episode, and then the

whole dodging Batman himself or Batman Beyond.

A couple of the gripes were they mentioned the

whole thing with Killer Frost and never actually

do anything with it. In the episode and Ralph

seemed kind of be wasted and Barry seemed to

be kind of playing the ear barred Wells mentor

to to Nora And you get to see Wally in the episode

as well, so I mean it was overall it was a good

episode But I am waiting to see how this whole

thing starts to play out with having the speedsters

and they essentially kicked Wally back to legends

again, so We'll see where it goes from there.

But anyways, I think it's overall a good episode

and a nice bring back to the series and there's

a couple of little twists and turns in the episode

and a lot of fun moments with Cisco, but it's

good overall. I'd give it like a four out of

five as a whole. There were a couple little grapes,

but overall not real bad. The villains were pretty

much throwaway filler because they have to have

a villain to fight every episode in a conflict,

but it... Showed Barry kind of have to be this

this father figure even though he doesn't really

know And just pulling from the experience that

he learned from Wells as far as being a speedster

so Gonna jump over to the next segment of the

show hot topics of the net So The games begin.

It's funny, we went from cable packages to a

la carte design with streaming. Now everyone

has a streaming service coming or is working

on one to some degree, whether it's, you know,

Disney or I didn't even know Voodoo VUDU was

owned by Walmart, which was totally beyond me.

But I guess AT &T is looking to jump into the

streaming bloodbath by launching a Netflix competitor

next year. which I'm a little iffy on. I really

don't know what they're gonna do as far as that.

Like I said, they announced having a new one

after purchasing Time Warner. So the only thing

I can think is that they're going to kind of

pool things together. Now AT &T owns HBO, Warner

Brothers and Cartoon Network as a part of their

merger. And it's, you know, obviously HBO is

going to be more expensive next year, probably

because it's going to be a part of the cable

package now. But anyways, they're wanting to

launch their own streaming service in late 2019

to compete with like Netflix, Hulu and Disney.

Uh, which Disney is going to be, you know, just

as much of a juggernaut as Netflix and Hulu.

And so will AT &T at this point, uh, owning all

of Warner Brothers. Now it remains to be seen

what they're going to do with Warner Media's,

uh, content or Time Warner's content. Um, being

DC is going to have their own streaming service.

Now, the other thing is, is you may see a double

dip. You may see some of the DC stuff end up

on AT &T's, uh, streaming service as well, because

they'll also own DC, but, um, I think we're gonna

start seeing more HBO content, more things in

that nature, just like how Netflix is kind of

building their own massive library of movies

and television shows. I think that we're gonna

start seeing the same thing with HBO and with

Time Warner's part of being in AT &T. And honestly

like I don't know how many and we kind of talked

about this in the last episode But I don't know

how many of these it's gonna take before the

market crashes on all of these these streaming

services because 18 t I mean yeah, they have

they're gonna have some of those these different

things that are kind of pulling for them Netflix

and Hulu kind of have a majority of like original

original content as does Amazon and I mean they

have a lot of other stuff too, but they realized

long ago that that wasn't going to hold out.

So they got ahead of it before everybody else.

And so like CBS is trying to play catch up, which

they're not even really a major competitor. The

only thing they got going for them is their back

library and Star Trek. And then Disney is going

to have properties like Star Wars and Marvel

and so on and so forth and all of the Fox library.

So it's going to be real sticky situation to

kind of see how it goes. on their service when

they launch it. One thing I would like to see

is like a better interface than what all of these

have because I've used Netflix, I've used Hulu,

I've used Pureflix. Netflix and Hulu seem to

have the best setup. I've used Amazon at one

point just to try it and it was atrocious. I

couldn't even like differentiate between free

and. paid materials when I was on the devices,

and so I just was like, screw it, so I canceled

it. It really wasn't worth it for me. And so,

I post this question on Twitter, but will this

service make a difference to you? Would you sign

up for more than one? Or would it have to, or

would you have to select a few to keep costs

low? And... Tyrannicus on Twitter said that they

would need compelling original content that I

can't get elsewhere. I never considered signing

up for CBS before Star Trek Discovery. And it

didn't pay for HBO until Game of Thrones. Netflix,

Hulu, and Amazon always have things I want to

watch, and I would have Amazon anyway for the

Prime shipping. Because he's a Star Trek fan,

so he's gonna sign up for it because Star Trek

Which I'm not a fan of really a lot of these

services To me really the only ones I would consider

is Netflix and Hulu and even then it's like I

mean we have pure flex too, but that's neither

here nor there. That's that's what we pay in

a year, and it's it's done every year and Netflix

and Hulu I like a lot of the content on there,

and some of the stuff double dips. Now, if you

get Star Trek, the series, they're on three services

right now. So you can watch all the television

shows on CBS All Access, Netflix, and Hulu, which

to me seems a bit much. But I do see it eventually

leaving those other services and going exclusively

on CBS All Access. Why they haven't done so already,

I'm not quite sure, but I'm glad it's still there

because I get to watch it on Hulu. Scanner51

said my AT &T Direct TV bill is $20 a month.

I got WWE, DCU, Funimation, and Google Play.

I pay for those just under $40. We also have

SiriusXM and Amazon Prime, but that goes under

a different pay plan. He says, I won't be getting

any other services unless AT &T discounts me

theirs. I will say this, my old Bill U -verse

was $100 so I can get one more service and still

be under what I used to pay. Which, if you're

fine paying that, I mean, that's not a bad deal.

I mean, having that big a variety of content

and being able to specialize and have the a la

carte that... I mean, I used to be one of the

biggest whiners about having a la carte back

in the day. But it was more so on television

and those days have since passed and so... I'm

not sure where we're gonna go from here on that,

but again, I thought it was rather interesting

that this whole thing's kind of transpired. But

the funny thing is, is digital trends actually

put together their best streaming site services.

So like they have Netflix listed and kind of,

they break down the pricing. They have, which

I'll have this in the show notes, so anybody

who wants to check it out can find it. So it

tells like supported devices, who's it's for.

Then they have Amazon Prime Video. They have

Hulu. Then they have YouTube, which I don't even

consider that a contender. I'm not gonna pay

for YouTube. It's free for user -uploaded content,

but it costs $1 to $3 for studio rentals, $10

to $20 for purchases. Why would I buy something

on YouTube if I'm gonna spend $15 to buy it?

on a digital streaming service, and it costs

the same amount as a DVD or a Blu -ray, why wouldn't

I buy the Blu -ray? It makes zero sense. But

you get YouTube premium for like 12 bucks a month

and ad free viewing, and YouTube TV you can get

for 40 bucks a month for live TV streaming as

cable alternative. But if you're gonna pay that,

you might as well just get cable. I don't know.

Because a lot of it you can stream through their

services anyway, like Comcast lets you do that.

Google Play has movies that you can do the same

thing with. You can buy them, you can purchase

them, you can do it with TV shows. On various

devices, iTunes, you can buy stuff which that's

been a thing forever. Voodoo, which is the Walmart

thing that I mentioned. It says that Amazon may

be the Walmart of the internet, but that's not

stopping Walmart from getting into the online

streaming. Fandango now which again like a lot

of these like movies anywhere You know really

Netflix and Hulu were kind of where it's at like

to be honest like if you're gonna have if you're

gonna narrow it down to two Those are the two

that I would get like just because like until

some other streaming services come out that are

more worthwhile I just don't see the the need

to go in that direction. So I guess, you know,

whatever floats your boat there, but for me,

that's kind of the range that I'm sitting at.

The other topics that I have, because I have

a few more, because these are like the hot topics

at the internet, like the kind of things that

I've noticed that are just all over the place

right now, which I thought were kind of pertinent

to kind of put in one collective place. I wonder

if we're gonna see GDPR, the global data protection

regulation part two here in the U .S. because

Mashable posted that Google was exposed for their

personal data of nearly 500 ,000 users and didn't

disclose it until now. And it happened in March.

which is a little shady that these huge companies,

I mean, we give all of our personal information

to Google and Facebook and it gets stolen. And

they're supposed to be like, oh, we're supposed

to be very social. So Google's response to this

is we're shutting down Google +, which let's

be honest, did anybody really use it? I mean,

really, I mean. It had a previously undisclosed

security flaw that exposed profile data that

was fixed in March, but why did this take so

long for them to do? And it was just an API change

for Gmail and Android. So it just, I don't know.

I was talking to a marketer at MLive, which is

Michigan's basically newspaper service online.

And I said that, you know, I saw that he posted

it anyway, and he says, you know, GDPR part two,

the empire gets struck, which I replied only

a matter of time until we get our own version

of GDPR here in the US, which honestly, as much

as I dislike government regulation of things,

I think that that's probably a wise thing, because

if I cancel my account somewhere, I would like

the information deleted. not held onto, not sold

to the highest bidder, not lost in some kind

of a data trail and sold to advertisers, I would

like it deleted. And honestly, I think Europe

has the right idea on that, which I don't normally

say in a lot of their things, but I think that

that's kind of the boat that we want to be on

for our data protection, especially with all

these hacks and leaks going on. You know like

credit cards Sears, you know a bunch of these

companies just constantly are getting hacked

and and I think that Having our control over

our data is gonna be kind of the wave of the

future If you're gonna have your data out there

anyway, you might as well, you know control your

own data Which is why I have social media platforms

and everything else so that I control What people

see it's it's me like it's it's impacting me.

So it's I should have control of it, and that's

kind of my mentality on it. So speaking of things

that are unethical, is Apple Podcasts empire

beginning to crumble? Because their podcast chart

cheaters may be the cause. Again, another reason

to add to my long tally of dislikes for iTunes.

but it's also the housing many solicitors claim

to boost your show from LinkedIn to Fiverr to

Twitter. If you brand yourself as a podcaster,

you're going to get unsolicited people trying

to friend you or at you or whatever and send

you direct messages. I've gotten quite a few

on LinkedIn or on Twitter. trying to upsell me

to essentially game the system of their front

top 20 page of podcasts, which is supposed to

be for a better discovery system, but what's

kind of screwed up and kind of scammy is their

charts in general. And I think it's kind of crap

and bogus that they even have this problem. because

they've been in the game for so long, their top

podcast thing, people can just game the system

now. It's not even a realistic way of getting

in there. Like you can pay money and just get

your show to show up in there and not even, you

can have no downloads. Like just for like S and

Gs, I did it once just to see what would happen.

And sure enough, I got in there, but it doesn't.

It doesn't reflect a proper standing. And it

does work, but why wouldn't you want to put out

a quality show? That's kind of my thought on

it. There's a lot of shows that get in there

naturally, and that's where you want to be. Why

would you want to game the system? Because now

it's starting to create this atmosphere where

advertisers or sponsors don't totally trust it.

And that's kind of the boat we're on now. You

can see what the charts look like, but it's not

reflective of what is actually popular. The charts

are definitely broken. That's more so what I'm

trying to get at. And the fact that a lot of

these services, a lot of the podcasting services

or ones that pull from the RSS feed, they mostly

pull from the iTunes link. They don't pull from

your actual RSS feed. They pull from iTunes and

get your information. And so iTunes is essentially

the grand architect of 90 % of the apps out there

that are pulling your podcast information. That's

why it's such a big deal that Google podcasts

is getting into the game because they're gonna

change things up and then you've got Spotify

and then Deezer which I wasn't even aware of

until honestly about 12 hours before recording

this podcast. I had no idea it even existed.

I think I may have seen it at some point, but

now all the major places are telling you, hey,

you need to sign up for this. You need to get

your podcasts on here. Some networks kind of

see that as like, oh, you're spreading yourself

too thin. It's actually not spreading yourself

that thin. It's just getting yourself in front

of the most audience as quickly as possible.

And essentially with all of these different services

coming and going or at least coming and everybody

joining on them, you want to be first on the

bandwagon anyway before people tend to flood

the market. And iTunes is so flooded now at this

point that it's difficult to be seen. And then

something that's kind of interested me is this

whole thing with a news drop that Samsung recently

plugged a phone, it's the Galaxy A9 instead of

the S, it's the A for whatever reason. They announced

the world's first four cameras on the back of

the phone for the... mid -range device at photography

enthusiasts which honestly I kind of I mean they

have a few days ago they released the a7 with

three rear cameras and now they're like oh we're

gonna do a quad camera so the four cameras on

the rear use 24 megapixel main sensor f -stop

of 1 .7 and then they've got the 10 megapixel

telephoto sensor of the F 2 .4, 2X optical zoom.

And then another camera is eight megapixel wide

angle sensor, 120 degree F 2 .4, and then five

megapixel depth sensor of F 2 .2. So on the software

side, the app has AI scene recognition to enhance

the photos, which I will say this, my Galaxy

S5 leaves a lot to be desired in the photo department,

especially when there's some budget phones that

take way better pictures than what our Galaxy

phones take. My wife and I have a horrible time

trying to use it. I mean, we don't use a regular

camera anymore unless we're like going to a water

park and we have a waterproof water camera for

that. I have another one that's sitting on the

bottom of a lake in a family member's yard. But

that's another story for another day. But the

phone's covered in glass. You know, this particular

Samsung phone, I am in desperate need of a new

phone. I just, I can't afford it right now. So

anyways, they've got an Exynos 78085 processor,

6 .3 inch FHD screen, RAM is 6 to 8 gigabytes,

front camera 24 megapixel, F -stop 2 .0, battery

3 ,800mAh, USB -C fast charging, internal memory

128 gigs, and software's Android 8 .0 with Samsung

UX experience. So yeah, I mean I Don't I don't

really know if it's like a wise idea just for

the more cameras thing. I just I just wish I

could find More affordable phone I Don't know.

I mean, I know Hawaii p20 Pro came out like last

month or something With information about their

their three camera phone and their flagship and

it's a 40 megapixel with 1 .8 f -stop 20 megapixel

monochrome sensor and then an 8 megapixel 3x

zoom. I'm a little interested in trying it but

I don't know I mean a lot of these are getting

very good picture quality for modern What do

you guys think about any of this stuff? Does

it impact you? Put it! At this point, he probably

is. And we're back. So, yeah. So they made this

announcement that there is going to be a Black

Widow movie. Scarlett Johansson is going to get

paid a $15 million payday for it. Much like her

male co -stars who were in Captain America and

Thor. respectively, in the Infinity War. Basically

what they made in that film. So she'll make that.

Yeah. It's... It's still a heck of a lot more

than what Downey Jr. got for the first Iron Man,

which is 500k. But yeah, now Downey's like, 50

million dollars, whoomp. So, yeah. I'll be looking

forward to a Black Widow movie. I would be down

for that. Because honestly, like... I like the

character, I like her as an actress. So I would

be down for that. I'm just glad that they're

getting well paid. And Brie Larson, speaking

of which, Captain Marvel, is signed on for seven

Marvel Studios movies. So mind you, she's already

filmed two. She's done the Avengers 4 and Captain

Marvel. So that's two down out of seven. So that

leaves five left. So It remains to be seen what

What those entail But it says that she's getting

in the ballpark of like five million for a role

in the solo Captain Marvel movie and then In

exchange for the hefty payday Larson reportedly

agreed to the seven picture deal which locks

her into multiple franchises So I'm wondering

what that means with multiple franchises, whether

it be Captain Marvel or be other maybe like superhero

films showing up, kind of like how Black Widow

showed up in like Captain America and Iron Man

and things like that. So it will be interesting

to see what they do with her character when they

introduce her for the first time. There's speculation

that The Avengers could always continue under

the leadership of Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange,

and Black Panther going forward, and then teaming

up with other people, but we'll see what happens.

I'm kind of interested. The other thing I'm kind

of interested about is James Gunn directing the

Suicide Squad sequel, because I was not a fan

at all of the first one. And since Disney and

Marvel... fired Joss Whedon for his distasteful

tweet which honestly was it was just a distasteful

tweet and a stupidity mark of 10 years ago but

yeah so Warner Brothers has lured another Marvel

alumni to rework the Suicide Squad sequel writing

and potentially directing the second film to

feature the criminal super team and there's rumor

he may change the entire cast And the characters

that are focused on in in the thing and I know

Dave Bautista has mentioned interest in wanting

to to work with gun on this side of the fence

and It would be it would be kind of cool to see

I mean, I mean they'll probably I mean they're

gonna have Harley Quinn anyway in Birds of Prey

so it's not a big deal if they take her out of

it, but We could end up seeing like a proper

Bane we could end up seeing a lot of characters

that you know never really get Any kind of a

mention and so I would be down to see what he

does with it. I don't know if I would watch it

per se But it's still an interesting development,

you know one one guy's throwaway is another person's

you know Director so I mean it's they're just

trading back and forth at this point now So Star

Wars new episode 9 set reports hints at return

to original trilogy planets So they're gonna

have, you know, all the returning casts. Mark

Hamill will be returning as a force ghost, obviously.

Carrie Fisher will appear with unreleased footage

from episode seven. And then probably that'll

be it. But they're gonna be filming in Ireland,

Italy and California. which Ireland is hinting

at appearance from Act 2, while Phantom Menace

shot in Italy as a stand -in for Naboo. Multiple

sequences in the original trilogy for film to

California ranging from Death Valley standing

in for Tatooine in the redwoods of Northern California

for Forest Moon of Endor. I mean, it doesn't

mean that those are going to be the things that

they do, but I can't say I wouldn't be excited

to see them go back to some of these planets.

and just see what they do with it in modern day

and see, you know, some of these things show

up anyway. So, I mean, those are some of the

things that are going on. The other thing is

we got our first look at Ruby Rose as Batwoman,

which it's interesting. It doesn't look bad at

all, though. It looks like what I would expect

for like a CW Batman costume. and it doesn't

look terrible like I mean it could look worse

it looks very much like what I expect for the

character and you know it comes right out of

the comic book so I mean it's again she looks

cool in it again if if it gets spinoff to another

series I'm not gonna watch it has more so to

do with I don't want to pick up another show

Just like Black Lightning, I really enjoyed the

first season, but I really don't want to continue

picking up another show, so I've dropped that.

Supergirl, not gonna be watching that this season.

I will be watching Legends, Arrow, and Flash

out of the CW. I've dropped Supernatural as well.

So again, it's just, I just don't really want

to watch any more TV shows. I'm more so waiting

for some stuff that I'm actually wanting to see,

which is... Like the new Picard series and Discovery

and Norville and things of that nature so but

Yeah, it's It's it's it's coming anyway for the

for the crossover of having her character show

up so but they they dropped the The the image

of her walking with a bat signal in the background

and and honestly like If they could have Batman

Beyond show up and have like this level of aesthetic

for Legends of Tomorrow, I would be ecstatic.

But they're saying if the show gets picked up

for Batwoman, it would appear during the 2019

-2020 season, with Greg Berlanti being executive

producer alongside Geoff Johns, as they're attached

to all the DC series. And then the trailer for

M. Night Shyamalan, or however you say his name,

Shyamalan. The trailer for Glass, Mr. Glass,

teaming up with The Beast and going against Bruce

Willis' David Dunn character in this trailer.

I did not see Split. I did like The the original

film which for the life of me, I cannot remember

It was like wasn't it like unbroken or something

like that. I can't remember the name of it, but

I did enjoy the original film with with Sam Jackson

and Bruce Willis and I think glass will be mighty

interesting to See what they do with it And kind

of round out the trilogy and who knows where

they go from it here. I really don't but it has

me intrigued and it's more so because there's

a mythos there and I watched the original film

so I'm invested already and so there that's why

I more so care about that and then of course

DC dropped a you know five -minute trailer for

DC's Aquaman which I have yet to watch but I'm

looking forward to exploring so and Disney blew

its load with a teaser trailer for Aladdin Where

they show Aladdin and then it sounds like you

hear? Frank Walker doing You know the Yeah, so

the cave of wonders it sounds like Frank Walker

just with like a like a deeper vocoder But it

could be very well somebody else, but yeah, it

looked very interesting So yeah, that's what

came about on that. So we're going to switch

over to the topic of the episode, which is we

asked for feedback and add topics, you know,

and obviously we weren't disappointed. In just

a few moments, I'll be cutting to a clip of myself

and Birdman Dodd discussing Nintendo land coming

to Universal as Marvel leaves to rejoin the great

mouse in the sky, Disney. So Scanner51 asked

us, would you consider going to Nintendo Land?

And in this clip, we take it a bit further. Also,

we kind of briefly discuss Netflix doing the

choose your own endings, like Black Mirror and

things like that, where it kind of nosedived

after that. But yeah, so that's where I'm going

to leave it, and I'll be back after that. And

now our feature presentation. Hello and welcome

to Altered Geek 301 with your host, Steve Megatron

Phillips, joined by Mike the Birdman Dodd. I

just wanted to make a dinosaur noise. That's

what a dinosaur sounds like evidently. That's

what dinosaurs sound like, children. We're starting

this show off strong, aren't we, folks? Oh, yes.

So yes, welcome out to Altered Geek, where we

talk about all things altered, geeky, strange,

beyond, cool, weird, sometimes some tech news.

My wife is doing a rather bizarre dance in the

living room, and that's the kind of day it's

been. But anyway, so yes, we are here on Altered

Geek to talk to you about, well, kind of what's

happened in the world over the last week or so,

sometimes the topics of interest to us, be them

good, bad, or ugly. And we try to keep things

positive on this show, because... The world is

does not need any any more hate. You mean the

world sucks. Exactly. We don't want to podcasts

because everybody does that negativity thing.

And you know what? I'm done with it. Yep. It's

done with it. Done with it. So since we we've

progressed past episode 300, Scanner 51 sent

a nice topic in of. Saying, finally, one of the

most well -known secrets in the theme park industry

has been confirmed, Nintendo Land is coming.

In 2020, Marvel characters will be sent up the

road back to Disney, and Universal will begin

expanding and constructing new parks at their

three locations. The Mushroom Kingdom, Pokemon

Land. A Mario Kart racetrack will be constructed,

but most importantly Hyrule is getting a land.

Hyrule takes over Islands of Adventure in Florida.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for Star Wars

Landover here in Disneyland, but Universal just

found a better way to get me into their park's

Zelda Link Hyrule. I want to ride Eponia. I want

to, or I hope I get to pull a Master Sword from

a pedestal. Would you consider going to Nintendo

Land? You see to me Zelda to me. Yeah, Hyrule

is cool and everything but I can't think of anything

super iconic outside of say the Master Sword

opponent, maybe the Temple of Time from the Ocarina

of Time but Try and name me five enemies from

Zelda Is Ganon one of them okay Ganon's one of

them. That's all I know. Yeah, you got Octoroks,

Moblins, Zora, though I think that's a race of

people, honestly. I don't know. I mean, it's

going to look cool. Basically, to me, Zelda is

Nintendo's fantasy. And I know the hatred, the

salt, the tears are coming. I like Zelda. I think

it's cool. But the last one I played was A Link

Between Worlds. And before that, I played A Link

to the Past. I hated Breath of the Wild. I knew!

Blast Fever! I don't know. I'm also not a Switch

gamer. Frankly, blow me. I'm not excited for

that. You know what would be cooler, in my opinion,

if they wanted something really, really to hype

people up? You want to give a scary element to

Nintendo Land? You make the planet Zebes, you

make Metroid land, and you turn it into an age

-appropriate scare fest where you have Metroids

pop out or space pirates. Samus, if you could

turn Metroid into one of those 4D theater experiences

where the guy comes out, maybe the ride rocks

you back and forth. Maybe you could go through

planet Zebes with Samus. Or Ron going to defeat

Mother Brain and maybe crap gets sprayed in your

face. The rocket ship rocks you around. You turn

into the morph ball. You go through like caverns

and everything. That would be cool because you

could have a horror sci -fi element. With Zelda,

you're getting generic fantasy in my opinion.

And like I said, I like the idea behind Zelda,

but I'm also the same guy that hates Ocarina

of Time. By the way, at BirdmanDot on Twitter,

I'm sure I'm going to get replies on this saying,

you bastard. I don't know. Zelda to me, I don't

like 3D Zelda, but I also I don't see a lot of

the lore in Zelda. If I'm wrong, tell me where

to find all this wonderful lore. See, I'm not

really a huge fan of Zelda anyway. I'm more of

a fan of like Mario, Donkey Kong, the original

151 Pokemon. Once they got beyond that, I was

kind of like, yeah, I'm done. Yeah, like once

they got past Pokemon Yellow, I'm like, okay,

I can't keep track anymore. Well, once they went

gold and silver, I tried playing it and I was

like, I want my Charmander. I don't care about

your little, your fire dog. Yeah, exactly. I

don't know what a Cyndaquil is or a Totodile.

Yeah wasn't for Pokemon go I wouldn't know what

half these creatures are Yeah, so I've never

played Pokemon go. I work with somebody that

does though But yeah, I don't know I would be

more apt to see some of those things like maybe

if they can get the level of Super Smash Brothers

like level of characters like if you could get

You know like a Sonic a Mega Man some of those

things in there. Like, I would probably care

more just because you'd have more range. See,

I can see Pokémon World being really cool for

this. Yeah, I can see it. Especially if they

theme it after the original 151. Stick with Kanto

and Ash, Brock, and Misty. Incorporate the anime

as well as the games and have that cross appeal.

I know that's Viz Media, I think, does Pokemon,

but, you know, Disney, Pokemon Land, make it

awesome. If you're gonna go all out, go everything.

Go right to the wall with it. I mean, have people

dressed up as Pokemon trainers, which they probably

will. I know one of the things that happens to

conventions, if you have your 3D Astrothea or

whatever, and you battle a gym leader at a convention,

They'll hand you a physical badge to say that

you beat them. That's funny. Yeah. And if they

did that on a Disney scale, you know how cool

that would be? Hey, I just beat the rock trainer

at Disneyland or Disney World or whatever. Here's

an exclusive badge. That's awesome. That's wicked.

Because I guarantee you, they're not going to

be selling Master Sword replicas at the freaking

gift shop. If they do, they'll be toys. they're

not going to be cool united cutlery or whatever

but still mario land makes sense mushroom kingdom

everybody can name five mario enemies goombas

shy guys koopa chupas paratroopas piranha plants

chain chomps need i go on and you can name a

crap ton of mario characters Hell, there are

people who still think Zelda is the lead character

of the games when it's Link. And I know that

meme is old as crap, but I'm not wrong. No, it

is true. So like, I don't know. I think it's

going to be super popular, especially with the

whole Mario Kart thing, though I can see the

liability train a mile away because I know they're

supposed to be. I don't know how true this is

because I haven't been able to see it for myself.

I think supposedly in Niagara Falls. There's

a Mario Kart track So I don't know your guess

is just as good as mine I'd like to see other

things. I mean, I'm more excited for the Marvel

and Star Wars stuff at Disneyland and Disney

World than I am anything else especially Star

Wars because Practically, hey 501st won a job

And they've got that big Disney money, so you

know they're gonna be basically 3D printing Stormtrooper

armor, or vacuum forming it for the next ever.

And plus with the Star Wars live action TV show,

The Mandalorian, that's gonna be bringing people

in in large droves. Oh yeah, I'm looking forward

to seeing what they do with that. Just because,

well one, it's an unexplored territory. Yeah,

exactly. It's I mean people they've touched upon

the Mandalorians and rebels. I imagine in Star

Wars resistance They'll probably talk about it

a chunk But it's always been a set of the lore

that hasn't been explored a whole chunk outside

of the expanded universe It's never been really

seen on screen before So I'm pretty hyped for

it I mean it's gonna be awesome, but going back

to Disneyland Disneyworld and all that thing

Nintendo has a lot of untapped potential Because

one of the things I think they could do, especially

if they touch some of their older properties,

we live in the age of VR. Going back to this

4D ride experience, give everyone a 3D headset

or like the HTC Vive or the Oculus or whatever,

or something even better. Put them in Star Fox.

Alright kids you and your group of our wings

are gonna fly a mission against Andros Go and

the ride lasts 10 minutes and you and it's completely

Interactive the whole way you can't die But it's

you'll have people talking in your ear You'll

have Falco slippy Fox Pepper all talking to you

That could be really fun and hell just the the

idea of people coming out in costumes Could be

really awesome, too Like there's so much potential

with Nintendo land. I mean Once again, I hate

the harp on the whole Zelda thing I see a Zelda

themed restaurant being a better idea than being

Hyrule itself. But once again, I may very well

be wrong There's probably somebody some huge

Zelda net out there screaming at the screen right

now saying but Mike Don't you know about the

Wind Waker? It was cell shaded and that's where

Toon Link came from and that's about all I know

So, if I'm wrong, tell me. But Mario Land has

so many possibilities. So many games to mine

from. Like, hell, just going to the restaurants

would be cool. Thinking about all the Super Mario

themed food and drink you could have. You could

even have Koopa Troopa Bowled if you wanted to

go the extra mile. Like I imagine the gift shops

will make Nintendo world in New York look like

a burned out Toys R Us At this point cuz my god,

it'll be Disneyland Disney World prices, but

you be able to find some amazing exclusive merch.

Oh, yeah, definitely Um, like there's just so

many possibilities that I'm stupid excited for

this But I just I want Nintendo to look at other

classic properties that they could take Like

I said, Star Fox, sure, the game for the Wii

U sucked, but they thought it was cool enough

to do a partnership with Ubisoft and do something.

My God, they need to have the World Smash Brothers

finals, not at Evo, but at Nintendo Land. Can

you just imagine that? That would be really cool.

The other thing that they could do down there

I was thinking about is VR Pokemon. Oh my God,

yes. Actually, one thing I've been very curious

about is how many Pokestops are down there. Because

I play a lot of Pokemon Go now that I have my

power wheelchair and I can actually get outside.

I'd be very curious just to see how many things

spin and how many unique Pokemon you can find

down there. Like VR Pokemon especially now with

Pokemon Let's Go Eevee and Let's Go Pikachu with

the Pokeball accessory you can just wear on your

belt and Auto Cactus Pokemon So many possibilities

plus special event Pokemon if you told if you

told the Pokemon Go community That their next

Pokemon Go event was going to be held at Pokemon

land in Florida or California It would sell out

within minutes If you told them you can get Mew,

Mewtwo here, every legendary Pokemon spawns often.

That place, you'd see an uptick in traffic. Sure,

it wouldn't be a huge bump from the everyday

people, but you'd get hardcore people going there.

I honestly think you could sell Pokemon vacation

packages and it would sell. Probably. That would

be awesome. Disney, hire my ass. I have ideas

and you can do it. They'll just listen to the

podcast and steal them from you. Oh, bastards.

Yeah, like there's so many neat ideas that Nintendo

Earth, not Nintendo Disney could do. I mean,

they're marvelous. Yeah, like, like, actually.

I saw this post on Facebook and it made me sad

because we're seeing the revival of Double Dare.

I know they filmed a bunch of episodes during

the summer and the spring this year and they're

airing them on Nickelodeon. I miss the old Nickelodeon

building with the slime fountain down at Universal

Studios in Florida. See, I never got to see it.

My wife had told me about it from when she was

a kid and then they eventually got rid of it

and she was like... Yeah, that would have been

cool to go see a live show or live taping, but

they quit doing it years ago. Yeah, like that's

something I think in the realm of YouTube and

with the revival of Double Dare, I don't know

what its numbers were like, but Mark Summers

came back. So if you told me they could bring

back in Canada, we used to have a show called

Video and Arcade Top 10 with Nicholas Pickless.

God, that was his real name. I can't remember

the guy for the Nick show. What was it called?

Nick Arcade, I think. Can you imagine that show

now? Like, you could honestly pay a couple of

stupid programmers to make a really crappy VR

game instead of having it in front of a green

screen. And they could do so much. Bring back

that Phil Laredo guy. He's not doing anything.

I think I've seen him on Facebook. You can do

so much, my God, Nickelodeon, you can do so much

more instead of these crappy shows you're making.

And don't get me started on that Ninja Turtle

show. But theme parks, theme parks are awesome.

Hell, now that Power Rangers is owned wholly

by Hasbro, do they have any stake in any theme

park right now? I don't know. Because can you

imagine I mean when the next power in your show

comes out? Which is Beast Morphers if you told

me at Universal Studios if they did it for a

summer Here's the Beast Morphers live -action

show kind of like how they do the big Like it

was waterworld for years where you told me there's

a live -action stage show. They come out fight

a monster Maybe bring out like guys in suits

as Zords and it was like an interactive 20 minute

show I bet you that would generate some pretty

big interest in the brand considering like they

bought it from Saban for like some ridiculous

amount of money. And the Power Rangers brand

under Hasbro will be treated very, very well.

I'm actually surprised there's not a Transformers

world or something. I know they've got a show

at Universal. Yeah. And it's like one of those

4D rides or something. But yeah, I mean there's

so many properties that could go well into a

theme park I mean, I mean you couldn't do a Power

Rangers theme park. I'm sorry. I'm a huge fan

of the franchise I think it'd be better as a

stage show it would work maybe an exhibit at

a theme park Marvel lent itself to it. Like here's

spider -man's neighborhood. Here's Dell daredevils

Hell's Kitchen and Here is like the shield helicarrier.

Yes Shield headquarters and here's agent so -and

-so to lead you around from the day Stuff like

that. You could do so much with the Marvel stuff

and that's gonna be cool Star Wars as we said

previously I Don't even need to talk about it

because we know the idea is gonna be awesome.

Oh Yeah, totally and I'm definitely looking forward

to seeing what they do with with the new show

of the Mandalorian and just seeing some Boba

Fett style armor In the show plus it's John Favreau.

So like he's gonna he's gonna do it justice and

it said after the fall of the Empire so it will

be after The return of the Jedi. Yeah, it'll

be after after return of the Jedi but before

the force awakens So in that period before the

first order when there was the Imperial remnant

Stuff like that. If you remember the old expanded

universe novels Which they're gonna throw it

all all out all out all that continuity, but

I'm sure they'll come up with something just

as good. The criminal underside of Star Wars

has been explored in novels and books before,

and it's been really well fleshed out. It wouldn't

surprise me. There was a canceled Star Wars game

years ago called Star Wars 1313. It wouldn't

surprise me if elements of that game ended up

in the Mandalorian TV show, because I think that

could be cool. That's a prediction I'm making

now. It would be a crime if Daniel Logan, young

Boba Fett, didn't get a cameo appearance or something,

as Boba Fett, although technically Timur Morrison

is Boba Fett, but whatever. I wonder if they'll

touch upon that, the old clones. Oh my God, if

you gave me live action Commander Rex, And it's

Tamura Morrison. I know he's a movie star, but

really, he's not doing that much, and it's Disney

Star Wars money. He's not going to turn it down.

We'll see, I guess. I mean, realistically, you

could even have Anthony Daniels show up as 3PO.

Because he just does the voice. It's not him

in the suit anymore. At least, I don't think

it is. No, it's been him. OK. I hear he's a real

dick. Yeah, because I I have heard stories which

is unfortunate Although Jeremy bolts a nice guy.

He's Boba Fett I see him post a lot And I met

David Prowse years ago. He he was an okay guy

Although when I met him, he couldn't sign anything

because he was really sore and he was just having

a really bad day I'm like, okay, that's cool.

I'll catch you next time. So I didn't feel too

bad about it Just got to say I met dark Darth

Vader so party on with them No, I didn't because

he couldn't stand up because his knees are basically

made out of broken glass. Oh, you should have

just been like, hey, I'll just Be next to you

though. I just didn't want to bother the guy.

I'm like, alright, that's cool, man I totally

get it load tomorrow Morris and was like here.

I'll give you a promo Let's talk for a few minutes

and then Daniel Logan is like I've got a story

for you He's a really nice kid that That kid

deserves a lot more recognition than what he

gets. What else can I talk about theme parks

about? I think Universal used to have a Ghostbuster

experience at one point. I know they had X -Men.

Yeah. There was like an X -Men show. I was there

in like the early 2000s. That'd be really cool

to see. I had pictures of it somewhere I'd have

to look but they all get out of like the like

a van and it's all the X -Men characters and

you know fighting Magneto and um it was crazy.

One that could work surprisingly well because

it relies a lot on simple costumes you could

do Doctor Who real easy but that's more of a

United Kingdom thing and I imagine there's probably

a Doctor Who experience over there. Some capacity

now that you got like the female doctor and that

took off really really well Although I still

miss David Tennant and I always will Although

Eccleston was a badass, but Jodie Whitaker. I

think her name is Is a really good doctor and

I think she's gonna be a wicked first female

doctor So hopefully it sets a really awesome

precedent. I heard I heard the ratings were really

good Yeah, and they're they showed it in theaters

and and everything But if you told me I could

go to Universal Studios, wherever, and I got

a chance to fight Daleks and Cybermen, and hell,

Doctor Who is made of nothing but weird aliens.

You told me I could do that? Sign me up. Because

I know when they do the stuff over in Britain,

it's super, super hardcore. Think it would be

just as popular over here in North in North America

Thinking of other things that would be fun to

do Actually, this is kind of neat. This is not

a theme park thing, but it's something that's

actually happening Close to me rather soon. I

think it's this weekend Actually, let me pull

up the information because I'm sure we have some

listeners in Toronto. So let me talk about if

you go to Between Thursday October the 11th and

October 14th if you go to 502 Adelaide Street

West in Toronto from 11 a .m. To 330 p .m. And

then 1 p .m. The 7 p .m. The 1 p .m. The 7 1

p .m. The 7 You can do a Call of Duty black ops

for themed escape room I Never thought I'd see

a Call of Duty experience. I know for I think

it was infinite warfare. They had like paintball

out in california for like a bunch of journalists

and everything but this is meant for everybody

i think um so many video games would make really

cool theme theme park ideas like honestly if

if i had money to which i don't i would do mass

effect world that would be cool and it would

be like go on the citadel and you could have

lunch at the asari cafe on thesia or go to the

Omega markets and buy some illicit goods, and

then you can maybe end the day, I don't know,

going to Vermeyer or some shit like that. I'm

just, I was trying to think of what the planet

was, not the Krogan home world. I forget what

it's called off the top of my head, but I don't

think you want to go to a radioactive waste site.

Hell my God, Fallout! Fallout would make an amazing

theme park! Basically, you already have it from

Nuka, from Nuka World, from Fallout 4. But Fallout

would be an amazing experience. The problem is

the IP, it's big, but it's not Mass Appeal big.

But if you told me some company would come up,

buy a bunch of video game IPs, not Nintendo.

If you told me there was a Sonic World, a Fallout

World, Mass Effect Skyrim, which is basically

just generic fantasy, but Follow me here. If

you told me you could do all these video game

worlds and they rotate every couple years, it

would be one of the stupid most popular attractions

for nerds I can think of. You could charge exorbitant

amounts of money and people would pay it. Hell,

I'm pretty sure if you brought back the Star

Trek experience in Las Vegas, it would print

money still. I would love that. Yeah, I mean,

think about that. I mean, if you told me if they

converted part of whatever hotel it was, again,

the Star Trek, and they did a one year test run,

it would be so popular. I think the hotel would

say, OK, sure. I really do. If I could sit on

the bridge of the enterprise. I would just be

ecstatic. I would love to be able to visit main

engineering and see that warp core. I would love

to sit on the bridge in my wheelchair and just

be able to look out on a view screen, which is

be it overlooking the city or maybe it's a real

time view of earth from a satellite or something

like that. You can do something really cool with

that. Or if it just rotates through high res

images from the Hubble space telescope or something

neat like that. There is so many possibilities

that Las Vegas could do. There's so many experiences

Vegas could do. Like, hell, I was surprised when

I went to Vegas years ago, they still had the

CSI experience was still going on. Who the hell

cares about CSI? Fuck that show. I'm sorry. I

hate procedurals, except for law and order. SVU.

I don't care about any of them. They just bore

me to tears. The only reason I like it is because

of Ice -T. And I hope this doesn't sound racist,

but me and Blair call it Detective Black Guy

because I couldn't remember Ice -T's name one

day and it just stuck with me. I'm like, that

guy who was in the rap group and I can't think

of his name. He's really popular. He reads D

&D. And he's like, she's like, oh, I see it,

but that's right, that guy. And it just became

a meme around our house. So God, I hope that

wasn't racist. I'm native, if it helps. I doubt

it. Please don't send me letters. Please don't

send me letters. But yeah, like there's so many

properties that are richer. Can you imagine?

Now, this would have to have happened a couple

of years ago when the franchise was super, super

hot. If you told me they opened a My Little Pony

theme park or attraction, if you told me you

could go to Equestria, first off, you are making

little boys and little girls happy. That's awesome.

The brony crowd would come out in droves for

good or bad. depending on what side of the fence

you fall in with that fandom. Again, really popular

kids franchise. Why are you not doing this? And

I could see it being a matter of logistics, because

that shows that it's seventh or eighth season

right now. So I doubt the iron is as hot as it

once was say around season two or three. And

planning a theme park cannot be easy. Another

video game theme park idea, throwing this out

there. Still the most popular MMO to date. Wow.

You told me there was a World of Warcraft thing?

Well, my upstairs neighbors, who are really good

friends of mine, Lacey and Tristan, would pretty

much fill the cup, so to speak. I'm kind of like,

meh. I mean, WoW was a while back, so I really

don't have any... I don't see the mass relevance

that it had. Tristan sat me down during the summertime

and explained some of the lore to me, and I thought

it sounded really cool. The problem is, for a

WoW theme park, the time has come and gone. Um,

cause it was done at like five, 10 years ago.

Exactly. That would have been great. It would

have been a new theme park by now, but yeah,

the time to do that would have been about 10

years ago. I'm trying to think of anything else

I could think of off the top of my head. That's

what I got. Well, I know just switching gears

for the, for the final part of the episode. Um,

what would you think, you know, since we're kind

of spitballing everything anyway, um, as far

as possibilities with a theme park, possibilities

with television shows, and case in point, Netflix

allowing users to choose the endings for movies

or episodes of popular TV shows. I think for

certain shows, that would really work for, say,

Black Mirror when the Key and Peel Twilight Zone

launches. Stuff like that if you did it with

the right movie because I know there was a rumor

a million years ago When Freddy versus Jason

came out there was rumors that certain screenings

got a Freddy ending other screeners got a Jason

ending Yeah, if you did that with the right franchise

You can have a lot of fun especially with streaming

services because that's what maybe an extra two

three days on set and I realize that's a lot

of money, but Still, if it'll get people watching,

why the hell not? I think it'd be funny to do

those points throughout movies. They tried to

do something like this, and it was a video game,

kind of. There's a video game called Quantum

Break, and your decisions in the game affected

the TV show you could watch, which would stream

to your Xbox or your computer or whatever. certain

if you let certain people live or die, the episode

would play it a little bit differently. Or if

you found certain things are played a little

bit differently. So it has been tried ish on

a more interactive level. But I like the idea

of point and click. Although if you told me they

made a television show that would play out in

two separate ways, basically a paragon run and

a renegade run, that could be a lot of fun. That

would be stupid expensive. But just imagine the

possibilities So I think Netflix is definitely

on with something if they can pull this off and

pull it off well, that'll be stupid cool I'm

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

do with it. I know that they said that They kind

of released animated program like Puss in Boots

or in book where viewers could choose whether

the cat fights a god or a tree or where kids

can go back and watch the other one and then

saying how Black Mirror has a main narrative

and then being able to go off in another direction.

So I mean, I kind of see the interest in trying

the Choose Your Own Adventure. However, I don't

know If that's going to be feasible money -wise,

I mean, granted, Netflix doesn't really care.

They just kind of print money. But it'll be interesting

to see whether this is something that more different

streaming devices take on or if this is just

like a Netflix thing that they kind of specialize

in because I really don't see anybody else wasting

the money to do it. So, yeah, that's my thoughts

on it. So, anything else you want to bring up

before we go? Trying to think of what else. Finally,

one of the other projects I work on, as I mentioned

on Future Imperfect, is Terrible Warriors. I'm

finally starting the season two of the Cambridge

Chronicles. We're going to be playing Shadowrun's

second edition. As of this recording's release,

I should have had their characters created. So

that'll be exciting to see what Tristan and Alex

do to my plans this year. I'm sure it'll end

up with someone chained up in a bathtub being

hit with a rubber chicken. I'm entirely sure

that my epic grand sweeping political storyline

of intrigue and betrayal will end in a clown

car of disaster and stupidity. Because it always

does that's that's Dungeons and Dragons folks

the best laid plans go So be stay tuned for that.

That'll be on terrible warriors comm coming up

in the next little bit We should be airing Marvel's

Avengers right now, which I've called Avengers

aftermath Which what happens seconds after Thanos's

infamous finger snap? So we will see what happens

to my street level heroes as they battle the

kingpin in what's left of New York City. So we'll

find out what happens there. Other than that,

keep it locked to my social media. I'm always

posting cat pictures and other random meandering

thoughts. So you can find me on Instagram, Twitter,

and Facebook at Birdman Dot. I respond to anybody

and everybody. I like interaction. I like conversation.

It's fun. And a suggestion for the show, Steve,

so people can be... Little more interactive with

us. I have an idea Okay, we need an official

altered geek or geek cast radio Discord and maybe

people can chat at us throughout the day. We

can hang out with them. I'm Active on it on terrible

warriors. I play with it on some of my favorite

streamers like foo. Yeah, and other people like

JV 2017 so Look into that. I think you'll find

discord a lot of fun, especially it's a great

and what it's great tool to interact with people

I have one for altered geek. I just have no idea

how to use it Well that consider that your homework

before the end of the month figure it out Alrighty,

so that clip is over. And so what did you guys

think about this episode? Did you like the way

that the show was segmented? Did you like how

it was broken up? Was there something that just

didn't jive well? Was there something that you

think could have been done better? We'll still

have some like old segments that like... cast

your own show type thing that Birdman and I did.

I'm planning on having this topic section be

a rotating panel of hosts so I don't have the

same people week after week after week. So there

may be different people on. I do have Movie Revolt

Dan planned for next week and I have DJ Valentine

planned for an episode in the near future. And

then Booth Ninja will be back probably monthly

at this point just until his schedule gets figured

out a little bit more, and we may have three

people on, or I may backlog some episodes of

the guest host. Some of those may not be timely.

Some of them may be. If they're timely, they'll

be released immediately. If not, then it'll probably

be backlogged just so that I have a rotating

panel. But let me know what you guys think. Please

leave a show, a review on iTunes, that would

help me out. Rate it, review it. Be sure to subscribe

to the podcast. We're pretty much all over the

place. We're on Spreaker, we're on iTunes, we're

on Google Podcasts, Spotify, our heart radio,

Stitcher, you name it, we're probably there.

Share the podcast, tell a friend about it. And

again. trying to build it up. If you really enjoy

the show, please do that. You can interact with

the show as well, letting me know what you're

geeking out to weekly by using the hashtag what's

geeky to you, which is always on the Altergeek

page, or there's usually a tweet from myself

that goes out weekly. So let me know what you

guys think. You guys want to see on the next

episode whether it's it's breaking news a tip

of the day a review interviews I'm planning on

going back through some catalogs of people that

We've podcasted with or people that we've talked

to on this very podcast and maybe doing an update

So there's there's a lot of things planned in

the ether. So if you guys enjoyed the episode,

let me know and until next time Thank you for

listening and get altered get geeky with the

altered geeks
