Star Trek Online, TV News, and Misophonia

You're tuned in to Steve Megatron on Altered

Geek. Welcome to Altered Geek. I'm your host,

Eve Megatron Phillips. And in this episode...

Well, it's been a little late. Multiple reasons

for that. I'm getting ready to take my trip to

Texas. And unfortunately, I just... I haven't

had time to really sit down and record. And when

I have had time, I haven't really felt like it.

I've been finished school. I've been inundated

with various work projects and some side, some

not. And so, yeah, I've just been pretty busy.

And granted, there's been a lot of awesome stuff

that's come out. I just haven't had the kind

of want to sit down and record or do really anything

for that matter. I don't know why. I don't know

if it's because it's getting to be summer. I

don't know if it's because I'm just trying to

fulfill this magical number of 200 by the end

of the year or by August. But regardless... I

just... It's been a little crazy. So anyways,

I've been playing the crap out of Star Trek Online.

I know I keep mentioning this. But I've got four

characters going. One on Romulan, one on Klingon,

one on 23rd Century Federation, which if you're

going to go and play Federation, it's really

the only way to play. And I say that because

if you start off... With being in the 23rd century,

you start off as kind of a light freighter. You

go to the Enterprise class. And then there's

an incident with future Pavel Chekhov and Daniels.

And it kind of interconnects between all of the

franchise. And I wasn't sure how it was going

to play out. But it butts right into the beginning

of the game if you play 24th century. So the

only benefit is you get the 23rd century costumes

for free as a part of your crew. Whoever happens

to make it back from your crew to the 25th century

gets to keep their uniforms and cycle back to

them later. You also get the 23rd century shuttle.

And I don't know if it was a glitch for all this

stuff, because some of the time I was having

issues with it. I still have issues with this

particular character with glitches, and I don't

know why. But suffice it to say, the game has

been entertaining. You end up in the 25th century,

they give you a new identity, they give you a

new ship, which is the refit. constitution class

um instead of starting out with the miranda class

uh starship uh you get to go right to a more

powerful vessel and so therefore you are already

ahead of the game when you actually get to play

and it's kind of nice however um My level was

high enough that I could realistically skip stuff

if I didn't feel like playing it, so I skipped

a lot. But there's a glitch in my game that it

won't let me skip any longer. And it won't let

me go to another level of the episodes. I'm level

60, and I still have two -thirds of the game

that I could play. And the other one, I completed

everything, just about, other than maybe three

episodes. missions in the episodes um i'm trying

to do the time travel one right now because you

get a nice perk set of perks from them um and

no matter what i do it seems like they're all

nerfed to the character that i'm playing is nerfed

to the point that um it's like a one hit kill

from these these guys if they load up their cannon

you're just pretty much dead and then they ambush

you and so no matter what you do you're just

you're screwed um So anyways, that being aside,

it's overall pretty good. I finally got the Odyssey

Class Starship, the Enterprise F, on the main

character, the secondary. I'm still playing with

the Enterprise E. I did get the Defiant on that

character because I wanted to try something different.

And it's pretty nice, but it's no match in this

particular level. I do like that they changed

something in the game when they patched it recently,

or at least maybe I didn't realize this. You

can switch your starship without having to go

to a starbase, and you can switch your character's

outfit without having to go to a starbase as

well. You have to be in space to change the ship,

and you have to be on land to change the outfit.

And it helps if you name them because otherwise

you can't differentiate what they are unless

you do that. And then anyway, so I created this

whole crew. The first ship, I wasn't really going

for anything because I didn't know what I was

doing. But the second time, for whatever reason,

I keep ending up with a massive amount of Andorians.

which is pretty neat um but and i ended up with

a tailor right too and i skipped the tailor right

i just i was like you know what i don't really

want to do this character and so i ditched him

um like a bad habit and uh so yeah so anyways

i'm playing this character um I don't like the

fact that I keep dying. It's driving me nuts.

But anyways, I don't even know where I'm at in

space right now. What did it do to me? Yes, I

have it open right now. So anyways, I created

this character. I have a runabout. I have the...

The Enterprise classic 23rd century and 24th

century shuttlecrafts. I have a character I made

look like Data. And I called him Data, but I

had to use an 8 for the first A because otherwise

it wouldn't let me name him that. And then I

have an Andorian. And then I have another Andorian

that came from the 23rd century. And then I created,

I got a... Klingon science officer so I called

him Worf but I had to use A instead of O and

then I had a character that was a Bajoran so

I called him Kira that was engineering and then

I got a tactical that it's a Trill but I decided

I wanted a Geordi too so I created that and then

I have a Betazoid which I could have done as

Troy but I ended up doing like Ro Ensign Ro from

TNG. And then the other characters, Tomet, which

is a female Vulcan science officer. So yeah,

it's been pretty interesting playing the game.

There's a lot you can do in it. A lot of missions,

a lot of side stuff. You can go to Ryza and literally

go swimming with the characters. It's hilarious.

I prefer the space stuff. I like driving the

ship and going through Transwarp. You can actually

fly your ship into Earth's space dock, which

is pretty sweet. So that aside, I'm going to

jump off of the bandwagon of Star Trek Online.

And I'm going to go into some other content that

I've been saving up throughout the week. So yeah,

I'll be right back after this. Do you want to

now, back to the show. And we're back. So, jumping

into some of the, uh... Interesting content on

the social medias in the past week, week and

a half. Warner Brothers is apparently making

a big move in digital content with one of its

flagship brands. Warner Brothers and DC Entertainment

are behind a new DC -branded service that will

debut in 2018 with two high -profile comic book

-themed original TV series, the live -action

Titans, from the King of the CWDC universe, Greg

Berlanti and Akiva Goldsmith, or Goldsman. Jeff

Johns, amongst other people. Wonder Brothers

TV and the anticipated revival of cult animated

series Young Justice from Wonder Brothers Animation

will be titled Young Justice Outsiders. So yeah,

they're going to be having their own service.

Should be interesting. I kind of look forward

to seeing what they're going to do with this.

Especially with all of their content. You may

eventually see a lot of it go away from the Netflix

and from the Hulu and all that stuff when they

get this thing fully launched because they could

end up doing their own kind of CBS Go or HBO

Go type of setup with it. I'm still not jumping

on any of those exclusive bandwagons. I'm Netflix,

Hulu, that's... I'm not signing up for CBS Now

or whatever they call it, HBO Go, or any of that

kind of content. So, yeah. But it says that Titans

will mark the first live -action series in the

digital space for DC Entertainment, which has

had seven different broadcast comic series, Supergirl,

Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, iZombie. And

Gotham and Lucifer. Yeah, that's going to be

a little interesting when they get around to

doing this. I guess I'll have to check back on

it as time progresses. Going back to the Jurassic

era, Jurassic World 2 will have a reprisal of

one of the original Jurassic Park alumni. being

Jeff Goldblum, returning as his iconic role as

Dr. Ian Malcolm. That's actually kind of nice

to hear. Because I know he was in the first two.

And then they had the other guy in the first

and third. And then, of course, the scientist

that hatched the eggs was in Jurassic World,

just like Jurassic Park. So it's getting interesting.

I like it just for the sure fact of what it is.

That aside, I have seen Guardians of the Galaxy.

I enjoyed it much more than the first one. A

lot more fun. Some things I didn't expect because

I'm not too hooked on the lore. But yeah, I thought

that it was pretty well put together. especially

how they introduced Star -Lord's dad, Chris Pratt's

dad character in the show. And then who they

revealed the villain to be. And I'm not spoiling

anything because I don't want to ruin it for

anybody. Guardians is just as much fun, if not

more, than the... the previous film. So I'm really

looking forward to Thor Ragnarok just to see

what they do with it because it's supposed to

have more of a Guardians vibe than what they've

had for the past Thor movies. So my wife and

I, this is kind of off tangent, different direction,

but are trying to detox from sugar to some degree.

Like, I'm not really all that particular into

it, but I know she is. And she can't help it

that after Easter, all the candy goes on sale.

So she stocked up on a bunch of it. Suffice it

to say, it's been sitting here in my office and

I've been eating a lot of it. Bags of like crunch

eggs and M &M's and stuff like that. So like,

yeah, she's not going to get to eat it, but I'm

still stuffing my face with it. So it's not a...

It's not good for my health either. But I've...

I should probably stop. I just haven't really

gotten the... I have no self -control when it

comes to food. Or playing video games. I get

hooked on a game that's just kind of... That's

how it is. I just can't unlatch until I beat

it. And even then... When I got Arkham City and

my Xbox 360, I played the game I think for about

a year before I actually got another game. And

then I finally hit boredom and stopped playing

it. And then I revisited and then I stopped playing

it again. I think that's what's going to happen

with Star Trek Online because I did that with

Battlefield. And I've been meaning to get back

to Battlefield 1. I just haven't. The Star Trek

game, when it comes to the point when it starts

frustrating me and I can't do what I want to

do, that's generally when I cut it loose. So,

Star Trek Discovery. I almost don't want to cover

Star Trek Discovery because I don't really care

to some extent because it's CBS All Access content

and I'm not going to watch it for the most part.

And that's kind of sacrilege for me to say because

I love Star Trek. And I'm going to give it a

shot. And they've cast people to play Klingons.

I'm wondering what they're going to look like.

I hope that they all look like TOS and they're

not trying to pull this Abrams look or the movie

-verse version. I don't know. I want to see something

other than what we're getting from this whole

series. We're just getting shots, and I really

don't care about these pictures. Show me some

footage. Show me visuals. Show me these people

in the costumes. Don't have these teasers, these

lame teasers. And I get the cast that they have.

I do like that they changed the Trek crest on

the logo from the original one. It looks a lot

better now, but yeah. So I was looking up something

kind of interesting, and I'm probably going to

circle back around to pop culture stuff in a

minute, but I was reading something interesting

about a kind of mental thing that kind of affects

people. I found an article on Time Health and

it was saying, does the sound of noisy eating

drive you mad? And here's why. Because it's called,

the people that have this issue where if a person's

breathing loudly next to you in a movie theater

or is slurping soup or you can hear them chewing

or... drinking or whatever it's one of the the

if you're one of the people that suffers from

a genuine like brain abnormality called misophonia

it means sufferers have a hatred of sounds such

as chewing eating loud breathing or even repeated

pen clicking the rip the repeated pen clicking

doesn't bother me if it's myself The rest of

it bothers me, even from myself. But they named

it a condition in 2001, and it was led by some

kind of a medical research team in Newcastle

University in the UK. It's something to do with

the frontal lobe. There's a difference in frontal

lobes of non -sufferers of this, apparently.

But I guess what it says is the scans, the sufferers

have a change in brain activity when a trigger

sound was heard. And it reveals that people with

this condition have an abnormality in their emotional

control mechanism, which causes their brains

to go into overdrive and hearing trigger sounds.

And it says the researchers also found that this

trigger sound could evoke a heightened psychological

response with increased heart rate and sweating.

In other words, it drives them nuts. And so it

says while they're listening to a range of sounds,

you know, the sounds are categorized into...

You know, neutral sounds like rain, busy cafe,

water boiling, unpleasant sounds, baby crying,

person screaming, trigger sounds, breathing or

eating. And it says that they presented all these

to these people with like different levels just

to test their results of the condition. But yeah,

they're now claiming it's a genuine brain disorder,

which it's driven me nuts. I used to, when I

lived with my brothers, I love my brothers, but

I used to have to eat separately because it would

drive me nuts that I would hear them mowing down

on food. It would just drive me absolutely bonkers.

Sometimes my own kid does this to me, and it

drives me nuts. So if you're suffering from this,

you're not alone. So, yeah. On The Flash last

week, they revealed who is Savitar. And to correct

my guesstimate last week, I was not correct.

I think I said it was either that speedster from

the other universe, Earth -19, or it was Ronnie

Raymond. And I was wrong on both accounts. Spoiler

alert for the next 10 seconds. It was Future

Barry Allen. So anyways, that was a little bit

of an eye -opener. Although there was plenty

of dialogue that supported it. But it's still...

A little bit interesting to hear. There was a

funny news article that somebody told me about

or that I heard somewhere. There was an incident

where police, and this was like a week ago, but

police were investigating unwanted shaving of

cats. And the more I think about it, the more

it's actually a valid crime. And just hang with

me here. This happened in Virginia, but they

were investigating reports of someone abducting

cats, shaving their underbellies and legs, and

then just setting them free. It says that at

least seven cats were taken and shaved, and all

were returned otherwise unharmed. It says that

all the cats were well -groomed, had collars,

and clearly had owners, but the police were not

sure why the crime was committed. But the owners

said that they just wanted to stop. Well, one,

anybody that's got a cat, let alone two, I have

two, I physically have to shave my cats. Not

with, like, shaving cream and a razor, but I

use an electric shaver to buzz the hair on my

cats. And there's two reasons for this. One is

because their hair, I'm actually allergic to

cats and my office is surrounded by cats. Their

litter box, their food, they eat in the office,

they go to the bathroom in the office, they sleep

in the office. I work in the office. So it says

that, you know, like I said, the cats were shaved.

So switching gears from that, the GCRN is working

on a new top 100 countdown. And during our last

meeting, we kind of decided that this meeting

of the minds, we wanted to have you, the listener,

choose the next top 100. So what we've done is

we put out a Twitter poll. And so it's going

to run for seven days. And you get to decide

the next one. There's four categories. Although

the fourth one, it won't let you do more than

four choices. So I had to kind of mix the bottom

one. So it'll be kind of either or if that's

the case. But the first one is top 100 professional

wrestlers, top 100 comic book films, top 100

film franchises, and top 100 heroes or villains.

It will be one or the other. If it comes down

to it... We'll probably choose one, but we may

put that up for another vote. It just depends.

But this will run for seven days. We were going

to do a poll on the website and on Facebook,

but this just seems like it was a better opportunity.

It's on the webpage as well, on the sidebar.

So just look for it there. So far, with only

five votes, Heroes and Villains is winning, and

with a close second of Comic Book Films and zero

for everything else. Be sure to check that out.

And then kind of jumping into the television

aspect of the show, since we've talked about

Guardians of the Galaxy and some other stuff.

Last Man Standing got canned. I cannot believe

that it got canned. I don't even think that there's

a reason why it got canned. ABC is just on this

killing spree of all their shows right now, amongst

other stations. And I'll get into a few other

ones in a minute. But for the life of me, I cannot

figure out why Last Man got canceled when it's

actually not that bad of a show. It actually

is pretty interesting. I like it. I like the

jokes. I like... But granted, it's... very conservatively

charged and most of the viewing audience anymore

is liberal or they're pushing that um i'm not

getting into any of the politics of it because

i just i'm not um but uh i i can only assume

that might be part of the reason uh but yeah

there's no definitive reason why it just says

that uh um ABC has canceled the sitcom after

six seasons. There will be no seventh season

with Tim Allen on there. So, yeah, I'm a little

sad. I rather enjoyed the show, but I guess I

wonder what Tim Allen will come up with next.

So that aside, getting into some other shows,

Arrow got renewed for season six. Big Bang Theory

got renewed through season 12. I can't remember

if I talked about any of this in a previous episode.

Something in me wants to say I have, but some

of it may not have. The Flash got another season.

Supergirl got another season. Legends of Tomorrow

got another season. iZombie got another season,

which I've kind of intermittently watched that.

I really don't care about it anymore. Kind of

like Once Upon a Time, I just don't care about

that either anymore. Or Blacklist, which I think

Blacklist got canceled. Lethal Weapon, thankfully,

got renewed for season two. I know I covered

that in a previous episode because that was like

two, three months old at this point. But I'm

glad about that. Gotham got its season renewal.

And they're saying that Harley Quinn will probably

launch the next chapter on the show. So that'll

be interesting to see who they cast and how they

play that out. Prison Break. has been said that

it has more story to tell, but there's no telling.

They basically wrap up Season 5 with Season 5.

So if it doesn't get picked up again, it's perfectly

fine. But if it doesn't stay at the Season 5

and keep going, then they could pick it back

up. I hope that it gets picked back up, but that's

just me personally. Yeah, I'm... Running into

that. Powerless got canceled. I'm not really

surprised. It was kind of a really terrible attempt

at the office. It really wasn't that funny. The

only reason I watched it was because they referenced

DC superheroes. But even that, I wasn't a religious

watcher of the show. I don't really care. But

NBC will still air the remaining episodes of

the show despite its cancellation. Probably just

so it can pick up the ratings on it. The Flash

next week will be interesting because they're

going to use King Shark and Captain Cold for

helping The Flash steal something. So that'll

be pretty fun too. There's a new X -Men show

called Gifted coming this fall to Fox and Bryan

Singers directing it, the first episode. Other

than that, I don't really know. Yeah. And Frequency,

the take on the movie series, or movie, not series,

but film, it got canceled as well after one season,

which I can't say I'm surprised. It was good,

but what they did in the film, you can't stretch

that out for an entire season. It should have

been like a mid -season arc and then they should

have changed gears and done something else with

it. But I didn't see that really have lasting

effects anyway. Although I will say something

that was really funny is this past week Chris

Pine hosted Saturday Night Live. And they did

a Star Trek scene and they had... They portray

it like it was the original series from the 60s.

And they used probably their SNL set that they

used back when the show was on and they used

to spoof it. And they have all the classic Star

Trek shirts and named everybody after their character

in the show. They had Chris Pine play the Shatner

Kirk and gave him even the wig. And it was pretty

interesting watching him actually try and do

the accent of Shatner. Uh, and then they had

various other people playing, uh, other characters

on it anyway. Uh, and then they had like Spock's

like half brother or brother on the thing. Uh,

and his catchphrase and the whole thing was,

and that's a Star Trek. Cause it was called,

uh, Spock's Secret. It's supposed to be like

the hidden 81st episode of the original series.

It was, it was funny regardless. I just wish

that when they did the Chris Pine thing, instead

of going with the original series, that they

would have used the Abrams verse. I just think

it would have made it more interesting. But,

yeah. So, jumping back into the film land, I

have actually something kind of funny. Robin

Williams' last film. absolutely anything is finally

coming out to theater he plays he's the voice

of a dog in the uh program and uh yeah i did

not even i mean i remember the rumor that he

had a another film coming but yeah it i i don't

i i didn't know it was this film but anyways

it's got uh simon pegg uh Kate Beckinsale and

Eddie Izzard. And Robin Williams is playing a

talking dog. And then they've got the entire

crew of the Monty Python in it. So it was premiered

in the UK in August 2015. It's coming to theaters

in America on May 12th. So it's been out for

a while. Kind of. Man, it's hard to believe that

Robin Williams has been dead. like passed away

like three years ago that's nuts doesn't seem

like it's been that long but anyways uh yeah

it's it's an interesting concept these aliens

give powers to simon pegg's character where he

basically says he wants this or he thinks about

it and it happens So it's called Great Power,

Total Irresponsibility, Absolutely Anything.

Could be interesting. The other movie bit, which

I'm not really that enthused with, is another

remake. And that remake is The Great Outdoors

is getting a remake. It's going to have Kevin

Hart playing in it. I'm not sure who, but yeah,

it's... It's interesting, to say the least. I'm

not a fan of remakes at all. Usually they still

pale by comparison. But it's neither here nor

there. And my brother actually showed me this

a week ago. There's a visual clip that he found,

and it's for virtual reality, but it puts you

in the Dragon Ball Z world. It shows the video.

of the person, um, kind of looking at his hands,

like, how did I get here? And then he talks to

Goku and then, uh, they decided to attack Frieza

and it shows, um, the guy winding up to do a

Kamehameha blast. It's pretty revolutionary,

like in that sense. Uh, and not to say I wouldn't

love to do a Kamehameha on, on my television,

but. To sit there and do the power move, it looks

so ridiculous having this person with their phone

on their face. And they've got these special

grips for the hand that makes them fly and do

the moves so that it detects everything. But

it looks like a phone that's attached to your

head. And it comes with a bunch of different

things, like a standing pad, and it comes with

things that go on your hand, and then the eyeglass.

It's really bizarre. I would play it at least

once. I don't know if I would want to buy it,

but that concept is still pretty interesting.

So there won't be an episode next week, and that's

more so because I won't physically be around.

I did originally plan to record two episodes

this week, and unfortunately I've been recording

this sporadically. And there just wasn't the

opportunity to do so. It's been kind of a hectic

week. Nothing's really been going as planned.

I've been working an extra side job this week

to pay for part of the trip. So it's just, it's

been all kinds of crazy. Plus, my head hasn't

really been in the game lately. Which is why

I made that kind of thing a few episodes back

of what the future of Altered Geek kind of actually

will be. Because I'm not quite sure myself. And

it's unfortunate that I don't know. But at this

point, I kind of feel like I need to find a new,

I don't know, something. To put the focus on.

And thankfully, when I get back, I do have two

guests lined up. And they're actually two returning

guest hosts. Or used to be hosts. We're going

to be doing a topic on... So we're going to do

like a focus on adult versus kid collecting,

which I think will be very interesting. It's

definitely something that I could have a lot

to talk about, being that my collecting habits

have changed rather drastically in the last year

or so. So it's... It's kind of one of those topics

that I'm not really sure what's going to happen

until we start posing questions back and forth.

So it'll be fun to jump into that one. And then

the other host, he hasn't been on in a while.

And really, I haven't had anybody on the show

in five months, which has been a little odd for

me. So the dynamic has been a little bit different

on the show. And I, like I said, I've been meaning

to get hosts back on. It's just time hasn't really

worked out for really any of us. And usually

I've been so burnt out between school and everything

else going on that. When it comes to the weekend

or comes to the evenings when I normally would

record, I just, I don't want to do it. And so

I, I'm planning this like little way to make

this fun again. And I need more than one guest

host. I'm also going to be on the hunt for some

other GCRN. staffers to be guest hosting from

time to time with me because I want to change

up the conversation and kind of talk about things

that are a little bit different like geeky parenting

and you know modern day and some other stuff

like that so I don't know what would really interest

you guys I don't really want to waste my time

on a clip that may not particularly resonate

with you guys but At the same time, there's some

stuff that I think would be kind of fun to talk

about just because it would be different. And

that's kind of the problem with podcasting now

is there's not a lot of stuff that's different.

Everybody's doing the same thing. Everybody's

covering the same content. Everybody's talking

about this movie and that movie and pop culture

and comics and television and just everything.

It gets really hard to sit down and figure out

something that nobody's doing. But I do have

some plans that I've had for a while that just

never actually got to get off the ground that

I'm going to try out and see what happens. So,

yeah. And then I do plan on doing a couple of

kind of... Video related content. I'm going to

probably do a vlog while I'm in Texas to kind

of tell my experience of doing that. Because

one, I'll have internet access, but I won't have

editing software and I won't have the ability

to do a podcast. But I can definitely still do

an Altered Geek from Texas. uh, on the YouTubes.

And so that's definitely something I'll probably

end up doing. I don't know how many days I'll

end up doing that. Uh, cause I'm only going to

be there for five days. And so it, it's, it's

definitely going to be something I've never experienced

before. I've gone as far down. Um, I've gone

like driven through Indiana. I've stayed in Illinois

before in Chicago. Um, I've stayed in various

places in Wisconsin. Uh, the Wisconsin Dells

has been the most frequent, uh, but I've been

there. Uh, I've been to, uh, passing through

Ohio, passing through Kentucky. I've stayed in

Tennessee before. Uh, once when I was a kid and

once went on vacation with my wife a few years

back and then, uh, driven through Georgia before

going to Florida. I've flown to Florida numerous

times. I've been to Jamaica and I've been to

Canada, like Ontario and Mississauga. So, yeah,

I haven't been to Texas before. And I've heard

that Texan hospitality or southern hospitality

is supposed to be a lot greater than northern

hospitality, which is basically they kick you

over and say, get out of my way. Or, why are

you being so nice to me? Because nobody's nice

here. You know, general conversation pieces like

that. So, I'm looking forward to checking it

out. Plus, I'm going to go down there and I'm

going to visit my job, which is actually based

out of Texas. And I'm really looking forward

to that because I want to, one, check out the

building. And two, see some of the people I'm

working with that actually work down there right

now. But kind of switching back to the podcast

itself, what kind of services do you guys actually

listen to this on? I'm trying to compile. I have

had over the years different ways of promoting

and publishing the content. However, I'm not

sure what ones I should be focusing on with you

guys. Like, I have all of our shows on TuneIn.

I have them on BlogTalk. I have them on Google

Play. I have them on iTunes. That's, of course,

the more frequent one. Stitcher. Yeah. So, I

mean, it's on all those. I've got the feed. I've

got, you know. So, I mean, it's pretty much everywhere.

It's just figuring out what ones there are. Because

I'm not really hip to any of the new. Yes, I

used that word. Um, any of the new setups that

people use nowadays. So it's, I, my, my view

is pretty limited on where to send it to. So,

yeah. So, I mean, if there's some that you guys

particularly like that I'm not using that you'd

like to see the, the show come on that, that

would make it easier for you to subscribe. Um,

be sure to let me know. And yeah, so be sure

to check out the, the vote ability on, on the

podcast for the top 100. I, I definitely recommend

that you get involved with that because it's

only going to be available for now for the next

like six, seven days. And being that I've recorded

this clip separately, from the actual previous

clip that i mentioned it in uh just due to time

issues this week and i'll get back to doing uh

regular fully edited recorded episodes without

any kind of breaks um in the near future i just

it's been hectic to even find any quiet to record

um the show so uh Yeah, so be sure to check it

out. It's going to be going on until, I think,

next Thursday or next, yeah, something like that.

But the voting on it is surprisingly neck and

neck, which I didn't think was going to happen

as much as it is, which tells me that all of

the topics we chose for the actual poll are very

well received. There's been 47 votes since I

mentioned this on that previous clip, and there's

six days left. It's been retweeted 22 times,

favorited eight, replied four. It's still between

the professional wrestlers, the comic book films,

film franchises, and heroes and villains. Right

now, comic book films is number one. Heroes or

villains is number two. Professional wrestlers

is number three. And film franchise is number

four. Now, the heroes or villains, to clarify,

will be top 100 heroes or it will be the top

100 villains. It's not going to be both. And

what will probably happen is if that does win,

we'll vote down on that or the staff will choose

between that and it will kind of be a surprise

grab bag of it. I have my own inkling of what

I would like it to be one way or the other. So

it should be interesting should it win. But it

would be a cross -media platform, meaning television,

animation, film, and to a lesser extent, comics.

but most of those have been adapted at some point.

Um, but it's not going to exclude anything is

what I'm more or less saying. It's going to be

a cross media platform, uh, heroes or villains,

uh, top 100. So you could end up with, you know,

Gandalf with, you know, or not Gandalf, wrong

one, Saruman or, uh, uh, you know, Megabyte,

uh, you know, Darth Vader, Megatron. J -axis

from Transformers. It could be anything. I'm

just using ones that I know off the top of my

head. I think it'll be pretty fun. I definitely

will be involved with this one, whereas I was

not in the last Top 100. Again, that came down

to a time issue thing. Now that I'm done with

school, it's time for me to refocus and double

down on the network and a lot of the content.

I know that I'm going to be doing some new M

wires with Blanchard in the near future and some

tune cast beyonds. And, we have some ways of

kind of, uh, uh, amplifying the podcast that

are already here. And there will be definitely

some GCR and wars coming. So be on the lookout

for that. I have a wars tournament planned out.

It just depends on whether I'm moving or not.

And I'm not quite sure yet. So, uh, Yeah, so

definitely check all that stuff out. I'm going

to be posting more, probably annoyingly so, of

the Star Trek Online content, which, funny enough,

has caused me to go back and start watching pieces

of other Star Trek shows, such as Enterprise.

I don't... I still don't care for some of the

characterizations or characters. It feels, I

don't know, too fakey and forced for me in Enterprise,

but some of the plot devices I think would have

worked well with a different cast. But each show

has a different tone, and that's kind of what

I've come to the conclusion is what I like and

don't like about Star Trek. The original series

is campy. Enterprise is trying too hard to fit

in the past, which I... surmise that Destiny

or Discovery will do the same uh to try and be

too grungy for a Star Trek show even though they

should have gone for post Star Trek 6 7 um and

been in the uh pre next generation universe but

that would have been the the war era kind of

thing with the Romulans and the Klingons and

the Federation so I think that would have been

the best time period. But again, neither here

nor there. And then TNG's got kind of the serious,

you know, daytime drama type of look. And then

DS9's a war, you know, kind of war -based show.

And then Voyager's like lost. So it's kind of

a grab bag. But... that's that's pretty much

what's been going on and i've as i mentioned

before just been messing with gaming and trying

to get all of my my various projects completed

before my mini vacation and trying to make sure

that just everything got out that was supposed

to and so yeah so until next time get altered

get geeky with the altered geeks Thank you.
