Super Bowl Trailers, New Theme Song, and Leaving Gaming

You're tuned in to Steve Megatron on Altered

Geek. Altered geek. Altered geek. Get altered.

Geeky geek. Altered geek. From Star Wars to Star

Trek. Comics to tech. Altered geek. Get altered.

Geeky geek. Altered geek. Pull up a chair cause

you're an altered geek. Welcome to Altered Geek.

I'm your host, Steve Megatron Phillips, and joining

me is no one, because unfortunately, when the

night I was going to record this, TFT1 Mike was

ill. Birdman Dodd is still recovering in the

hospital. Michael Powers, I do plan to have back

in the future, and I just honestly didn't have

any time to get anybody else as a co -host. So

I'm going to be flying this one solo today. to

talk about quite a few other things that I think

are interesting, as well as some of the awesome

trailers that dropped during Super Bowl Sunday.

And, yeah. So I hope you guys enjoyed the new

theme song for the show. I recently got this

from Fiverr .com. And I put out a request for

a new theme, and I had this blanket idea of what

I wanted. And I'm no musician, so I have no idea

how to put this, or to write lyrics. I realize

that it's not probably as difficult as I think

it is. um, to write the lyrics, but I by no means

know how to even write a poem properly. I could

write a story, but I can't write any of that.

So it, it boggled my mind enough. So I just said,

you know, I want the show name in it. I want

the slogan. And then I want, you know, some of

the kind of base topics that, that sometimes

pop up, like, and I just kind of gave blanket,

like a TV video game, um, stuff like that. And,

uh, So I was approached by about eight people

for this theme. And as I cycled through, certain

ones didn't have samples on their page, which,

you know, sometimes they don't. I get that. I

mean, I don't have all that much on my Fiverr

page. I don't really have samples of much of

anything, even when somebody is asking for it.

I just send them to a link to like Geekcast Radio

or something like that. And I'm like. You know,

just check out the images I did here. This is

what I did. And so I sent out like a bunch of,

you know, direct messages to some of the people.

Some of them I was able to knock off the list

right away. I had about four that were not knocked

off the list. Two of them took about a day and

a half to get back to me, which... If anybody

knows me, I'm kind of an impulsive, impatient

person. When I get something stuck in my head

and I want it, I want it now. Which not necessarily

is the right idea, but that's just kind of my

nature. If it doesn't get now, it won't happen.

And then it'll eat at me until I get something.

It's kind of that way with me. So I put out this

call. Two of the people didn't get back to me.

One of them, I just didn't care for the vocals

on it whatsoever, unlike some of their sample

work or the style of music, and I just didn't

see that meshing real well. Because I made this

mistake before on Fiverr with a theme, and I

ended up going back to something I already had.

I really wanted to make it something I enjoyed,

and I'll get to the person I used in just a moment,

but I gave the Twig intro, which when Twig came

out with, and that's This Week in Geek for those

unfamiliar, most of you should be, but I really

enjoy their theme, which I'll play right after

I get done with this before I actually introduce

the person, but it's... been one of those themes

I've enjoyed hearing on their show and I've always

wanted to replicate it because it touches on

all the geek culture it's kind of got a rock

sound to it it sounds really awesome uh and that

was done by like Pierce Dirks on you know This

Week in Geek when he was a part of the group

so um and they're still using it all this time

later and I was like man I wish I had something

iconic for Altered Geek because Geekcast Radio

we got one from Fiverr um sometime last year

and I was very pleased with it because they meshed

some of the Justice League sounds into it. And

it's completely original and it's fully ours.

But this one I wanted some lyrics and I'm not,

like I said, very well versed in that department.

So I said, you know, this is what I want. This

is what I'd like to have. If it doesn't fit it,

great. If it doesn't, you know, whatever. But,

you know, just see what you can come up with.

and the very next day I had a sample, and then

I was provided with one with vocals, one without,

so I can use it for the closing of the show,

as well as a halftime one, which is for shorter

instances, so I could use it on my YouTube channel,

or I can use it on days where I don't want to

use the full intro for the show. Yeah, I got

that. But just before I get to the person and

all the information, I'm going to cut it to a

quick break to the Twig intro. And we'll be back

after this. So as you can hear, that was the

Twig intro. And yeah, so I commissioned audio

by Alyssa on Fiverr. So it's Fiverr .com slash

audio by Alyssa, A -L -Y -S -S -A. That's in

the episode post just below the episode description.

So if you want to contract her for some awesome

work, that's where you can get a hold of her.

So it was a very nice experience. Got all the

files. Got a nice geeky conversation out of it.

And yeah, so I may be going back eventually for

some other content, either for this show or another

show that I do. So we'll just see what happens.

But yeah, I was very pleased with the intro.

I actually spent an entire, I don't know, five,

six hours yesterday turning it into a music video

on YouTube and on Twitter, which you can find

by going at Altered Geek on Twitter. It should

be the most recent post on there. As well as

on the YouTube channel at Altered Geek Entertainment.

So, yeah, just check that stuff out. I had a

bit of fun trying to get the timing down for

the words, for the lyrics, for the vocals in

the actual clip. And trying to get things that

corresponded with it and also fit the narrative

of the show. So it came out very, very, very

well after all was said and done. It's actually

the first video project I've put together in

a little bit. the most complicated since some

assignments last semester, which speaking of

last semester, um, that stuff's all done. I put

together a new demo reel from all of that content

and everything I've made up to this point, uh,

over the last four years, um, and, uh, send it

off to a few places. So we'll see what happens.

Um, and, uh, you know, maybe some side work or

something, but, um, Then, of course, we have

this semester, which is radio and television

production. So far, we had to do an interview

on... You just had to do a radio field interview,

which had to be, I think, between a minute and

a minute and 30 seconds. And I was like... I

really don't want to go outside. Plus, I really

don't get any time to leave the house when it

would be at all possible for me to record anything.

So I'm having to delve into people I've already

interviewed or people I know. Which is kind of

a no -no in the assignments for the class. Because

the whole goal is to get you to talk to people

you don't know. So the first one was a radio

field interview. I interviewed TF2 and Mike.

Which was entertaining. And I just kind of, I

asked him three questions. I edited it down.

I had to cut down part of his conversation so

I could fit it in that minute and 30 second time

slot. And then I turned it in and got full credit,

which thank you again, TF2 and Mike. And then

for the second one, it's a little wrong, but

it's not. I took episode 56 of Altered Geek.

We had to do a radio news package. So we had

to write out everything that was in the interview.

And it had to be condensed down to between 35

and 50 seconds. Which is almost impossible to

do when you're trying to cut down conversation

and have something meaningful. And so we had

to cover an event. And I was like, I've done

Grand Con. So I took the Grand Con clip. I basically

wrote an intro for it in radio news style. I

cut to a clip of Mike Powers because, as everybody

knows, I went for the Saturday editions of Grand

Con, but I skipped out on the Sunday editions.

This last year I didn't go at all. Next year

I won't be going because I won't be in Michigan.

But I took part of his conversation about what

they were talking about, garnering attention

to the table on Sunday. And I cut it down from,

I found it two minutes. segment inside and I

cut it down to 35 seconds. So I had literally

15 seconds to get everything I needed out in

my stuff, um, which is a little impossible. And

I had to like speed up the sound of my voice

at the very end. And then, uh, and on the, uh,

the, the, you know, whatever I was talking about

and, uh, it fit within the 50 seconds. Um, and

I got full credit on that too. So That was kind

of a bonus thing. So the next one I have to do

is a radio. It's a sports radio package. And

then I have to do a NPR news package. So the

sports one has to be up to 50 seconds. The radio,

the NPR has to be two minutes and 30 seconds

to three minutes, which I have no idea what I'm

doing for that yet because I have some ideas

for both, but I'm not really sure if I want to

do either one of them or not. And I'm thinking

of where I can pull some of this information

from. Because again, I have no time to leave

the house between my job and my family. There's

just no possible way for me to leave besides

that in school. So I did that, or I will be doing

that. And then after that, we're moving into

video. So we're going to do like a TV news package

practice, which I believe has to be like a minute.

or minute 30 something like that um and that

one's just in mind none of these assignments

can be the same so it's going to be a little

difficult for me to take that one um so i got

to think of what i'm going to do for that as

well and then the the final one i'm going to

use my church for because it's a radio or it's

a television news package uh like a finale one

like that's supposed to be a final production

one And it's got to be two to three minutes.

So I'm like, well, I'll just talk to my pastor

and have something that the church is doing talked

about on the video. And then after that, what

they're going to do in the class is they're going

to have us actually put together a mock newscast

because they have tables that look kind of like

that. And they're going to put us in front of

the green screen. They're going to have people

doing like news anchor and then off to the side

and then having like the little, you know, the...

a picture, and then they move into the screen

and kind of cut back and forth, so it'll be kind

of like a television thing. I have an idea what

it's all about. I've not physically done this

class before, but I've done classes that are

above this class, so it's going to be kind of

a piece of cake for me to walk through this,

being that it's my last semester. But I'm kind

of stoked for it, only because it'll be some

interesting new stuff, plus... What I'm doing

right now, I'm working for a television radio

network, even though it's remotely. So it's all

relative. So moving on. Do you want to interact

with the show? Well, you can get a hold of us

in the following ways. You can email us. feedback

at alteredgeek .com. Or you can fill out the

form on the website on alteredgeek .com. You

can also get on the episode post on alteredgeek

.com and make your comments there. You can, of

course, get a hold of us on the social media,

Facebook at Altered Geek or on Twitter at Altered

Geek. And, of course, you can find the show on

the following locations. You can get it on iTunes,

on Google Play, on Stitcher, and on TuneIn, Blog

Talk Radio, as well as alteredgeek .com. And

now, back to the show. I have, of course, various

pieces of news. Battlefield 1 soundtrack is now

available on Vinyl Edition. For those that don't

know, I'm kind of a huge fan of Battlefield 1,

and the music is stellar because it's all orchestra.

And it's... I really like it. I found the soundtrack

stuff on YouTube for a while. But it's not fully

the soundtrack because it was from during the

alpha time. I found somebody that had ripped

it from the alpha. So this is actually kind of

nice. So it's going to have the end of round

glory play, the multiplayer victory, the single

player war stories, the soundtracks of everything.

So it's going to have 17... Battlefield 1 tracks,

a 12 -inch collectible poster, clear PVC Battlefield

jacket, and a download card with eight bonus

digital tracks. So it's on this vinyl one. So,

yeah, I would do this, except I'm not going to

have any use for a vinyl. You can download it,

though, for digital download on iTunes, Apple

Music, and Spotify. So there is that as well.

I might pick this up because I really enjoyed

the soundtrack. It's kind of fun to listen to

in the car. Then, of course, we get to the Guardians

of the Galaxy 2 trailer, which is pretty funny.

Some of the additions of the new characters,

Baby Groot, which is quite humorous in this.

He kind of makes Rocket look like the grown -up

in this situation. He's telling Groot, Rocket

is, you know, don't punch this. hit this detonator

and he's like this one and then like you know

pointing at it and he's like no not that one

and then he like runs through a tunnel with the

detonator like in his hand so it's kind of humorous

and then he like thrashes some guy but um so

it's it's pretty good it i think the movie's

gonna be pretty uh pretty fun um then we get

pirates of the caribbean 5 uh which most people

have forgotten all about the entire franchise

at this point but um they show orlando bloom

returning as his character from the original

trilogy. Coming back with the Flying Dutchman.

And you've got Jack Sparrow, of course. He's

searching for the Trident of Poseidon, is what

the plot is. And the movie's called Dead Man

Tell No Tales, because basically they're all

dead men. You've got Geoffrey Rush playing the

same character again. You've got Geoffrey Barnum,

or Javier Barnum playing in this. Captain Salazar,

Jeffrey Rush as Barbossa, Orlando Bloom, Will

Turner, you know, so on. But it looks like it'll

be interesting, better than the previous film,

which was total and utter garbage, but Jeffrey

Rush still is playing kind of like an honorable

guard of the Royal Navy when he's boarded by...

So that'll be interesting. And then the only

shot you get of Jack Sparrow is when he's completely

covered in mud, which I don't know what the situation

is surrounding that, but it's going to be interesting.

So I will be seeing that as well. Moving into

some other movie. You get another teaser for

Wonder Woman. We pretty much know what that's

going to be. Another Logan one, which gives away

too much. It's... Yeah. And then get one of Lego

Movie, you know, Wayne Manor Cribs. Enough said

on all those. Super Bowl V of Transformers 5.

Not Super Bowl V. Transformers 5 Super Bowl trailer.

You get to see various things. You get to see

Evil Prime, where his eyes do this kind of flash

-y thing. So, yeah. I'm not quite sure what to

think about this yet, but I'll reserve judgment

until I actually see it. Of course, we get some

Samurai Jack Season 5 trailer, which kind of

shows the hero returning, and it's supposed to

take place some 50 years after the finale of

Season 4. It's supposed to be darker, more theatrical,

kind of like a giant episode split up into individual

segments. And it's going to be on Toonami, Adult

Swim, starting Saturday, March 11th at 11 p .m.

Eastern Time. So, yeah, the new trailer that

it shows off for this, it's been 50 years since

we saw Samurai Jack, and time has not been kind

to him. A coup has destroyed every time portal,

and Jack has stopped aging, a side effect of

time travel. It seems he is cursed to just roam

the land for all eternity. Samurai Jack premieres,

you know, again on that same time. And they took

away, like, his samurai look. Like, he's very

grizzled. He's got long hair. He's got a beard,

a mustache. He's got a sword. He's just kind

of, you know, looks... like he's been broken

as a man. Like he just doesn't, doesn't know

what to do. So he's still, it's, it's kind of

a tale of redemption in a sense. So I'll, I'll

definitely give it a shot, but it's, it's cause

I watched most of the original. I just didn't

watch all of it. But it was a pretty cool show.

So the tone of it's going to be a little darker.

So it'll be kind of interesting, but it's going

to be 10 episodes. So stay tuned for that. Some

interesting non -trailer stuff that's dropped

is 2019 Disneyland and Walt Disney World will

be opening Star Wars themed lands. So, yeah.

I cannot wait to see what they do with it. Although

I don't... I don't really know what it's going

to entail. It's supposed to be, as far as it

says, this will be the largest single themed

land expansions ever at both Disneyland and Walt

Disney World Resorts. Spanning 14 acres, these

two lands broke ground in April 2016 and will

bring Star Wars characters and their stories

to life like never before. This brand new planet.

One of the last stops before Wild Space is sure

to be out of this galaxy. We can't wait to take

control of the Millennium Falcon. And it shows

the Millennium Falcon and some aspects of what

they plan on doing with it. So it's going to

be a sight to behold when it does open. I just

wonder what characters are going to be there.

That'll be the telling point for me on that.

And since we're already talking Star Wars, there

was a video that dropped earlier this week called

One Epic Battle. And I've never heard of this.

I've seen Bat in the Sun's stuff. But this is

along the same kind of route of it's like a battle

to the death. And they're the ones that did...

It's YouTuber NukaZuka who did the Super Mario

Underworld where Mario... It shows the game and

he jumps through a hole and lands in this land

where there's like hundreds and hundreds of dead

Mario. And, you know, every Mario thing is like

a perverted version of its former self. And it's

all trying to kill him. And then there's this

Luigi that's down there that's, like, basically

the undead. And he's eating the corpses of all

the Marios. But, you know, he eventually gets

out. But it's just an interesting video. Anyway,

so they did a video along the same lines with

Darth Vader versus Buzz Lightyear. It's pretty

brutal. you'll kind of guess who wins just because

of the instances of what the characters are.

And then there is a guy that plays Woody in the

end, so it's a little bit interesting. So, yeah,

those are the fun little videos that I found.

There's also this channel called Viva La Dirt

League, which is based out of Australia, I think.

And I just saw this the other day. And there

was this video called Chicken, Epic NPC Man Vidley.

And it shows this guy kicking a chicken. And

it dawned on me what the game is supposed to

be. It's basically Skyrim. They're all in the

land of Skyrim. People hitting the house can

start it on fire. And then there's... This guy

kicks a chicken, and then the whole town comes

after to kill him. So it's fun to watch because

you get this guy that's just standing there,

and he really doesn't say much, but he's kind

of the NPC guy that just has the exclamation

and tells you stuff or gives you quests and whatnot.

But it's interesting to watch. So be sure to

check that out as well. Dragon Ball Super. is

going to be dropping in english for the americas

uh very very soon and i'm very excited about

this because i enjoy dragon ball z quite a bit

uh dragon ball gt i enjoyed the super saiyan

4 um but i just don't like the show So Dragon

Ball Super is supposed to take place after a

certain point, but again, they've got the Super

Saiyan God Super Saiyan, which is a ridiculous

name. There's going to be 78 episodes or more,

but they're going to have the Tournament of Might,

which is like the Universal Saga, Survival Saga,

which they go head -to -head against other fighters

of the multiverse. If they lose, their multiverse

or their universe is destroyed. But it's because

Goku wants to fight somebody stronger. And so

you get the Omni Kings instead of the King Kai's

and whatnot. So we'll see how that goes. I'm

looking forward to it. I just got to wait until

I can see it in English. I'm not going to read

dubs of it. Yeah, it's definitely interesting.

And I'm seeing various things floating around

about it to where Goku could become a villain

in the show. Because he's kind of bored to death

while training. And he kind of just does whatever

he feels like. Basically like any Dragon Ball

show. But yeah, we'll see what happens. I'm wondering

if they're taking cues from Dragon Ball Absalon

for this. Because I guess they've already set

up parallels between Goku and his brother Raditz.

So I don't really know. They may turn Goku evil,

which would just be kind of crap because he's

supposed to be the most optimistic character

in the world. But yeah, I'm definitely excited

to see the show and I can catch it. Looks like

it's on Crunchyroll, whatever that is. I don't

know if it's Canadian or if that's like an online

site or something. I'm not familiar with a lot

of modern terminology or websites or stuff like

that. But yeah, that's pretty much all the news

I had. So one of the latest things floating about

is a rumor and speculation on Gotham City Sirens,

which I'd be okay with. I just, I don't know.

So they're saying people are trying to push for

this anyway. I don't know how well it would be.

I don't know whether I would watch it. It just

kind of depends. So Gotham City Sirens, people

are pwning. For, or pining for, Haley Bennett

to be Catwoman. Which, I'm not all that familiar

with her. She looks familiar, but I'm not sure

why. It looks like she's been in, I'm trying

to find something I've seen where she would be

in it. Oh, she was in Equalizer with Denzel Washington.

I've seen that. She was in Marley and Me. Those

are the only two I've seen that she's actually

been in. So anyways, they got her as a possibility

that people would like to see play Catwoman,

should they make the movie. As well as, of course,

Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. And then people

are pining for Megan Fox to be Poison Ivy. Which,

if they dyed her hair red and stuff, I could

see it. And then there's also been people that

have been putting Evan Rachel Wood as Poison

Ivy as well. But if you look at... BossLogic

on Twitter. He makes a lot of these crazy images.

I just can't even fathom how good these things

are. He's got a close -up of Deadpool inside

of a box for the movie Buried, where Ryan Reynolds

is in the box buried alive. This is just one

that was posted nine hours ago. He's got one

of him in this box with a bunch of iconic stuff.

Then he's got the Green Lantern DVD buried in

the dirt a foot above him. It's kind of humorous

to me how they have this set up. He's got ones

where he does stuff with new costume for the

Flash. Um, you know, different versions of the,

the, the kid flash floating about. Um, he's got

one with, uh, Tom Brady wearing the infinity

gauntlet. Um, the, the lady Gaga thing. And it

says Spider -Man homecoming where she's hanging

above the crowd. Um, I don't know. And then he's

got Pierce Brosnan as Cable on an image. There's

just all kinds of crazy imagery on here. So the

guy is infinitely talented. But yeah, a lot of

these things come from aspects of this. But anyways,

going back to the subject at hand. Yeah, they...

uh these images of these these three actresses

to play the gotham city sirens i would be down

with but like i didn't in david ayer is going

to be doing the gotham city sirens but it didn't

like suicide squad so i don't really know how

well that's going to match up for me like i just

i didn't like suicide squad at all um So I guess

time will tell. But yeah. So yeah, I mean, I

think that's about all the geeky goodness I have

this week. I mean, I guess there's one bit of

thing that I could still touch on. And that is,

of course, that I've sold my gaming consoles.

And I don't know how many of you guys have done

this too, but... I've gotten to this point in

my life that I'm offloading things for multiple

reasons. One's because my change of beliefs.

I'm getting rid of clutter and stuff that's sitting

here taking up space. Stuff depending on what

it is. Some of it, the severity of it. I'm slowly

working down my levels of things. So we got rid

of the Nintendo Wii. I actually got rid of my

2DS first. And then... got rid of my Wii, and

then I got rid of my Xbox 360. The 360 probably

killed me the most because I really liked the

controller and I played all those games. And

I did back everything up to the cloud, up to

my Microsoft account. But I actually got more

for the Wii stuff than I did the Xbox, which

was ridiculous on trade. And my wife was like,

do you want the Xbox back? For that cost. And

I'm like no. There's nothing more for me to play

on it. It's not even worth me keeping. So. I

just. I just was like. Just get rid of it. Plus

my save games are gone. So there's no reason

for me to want it back. I don't play games a

second time. If there's no save game. To go back

to some of my old stuff. If I want it. I don't

mind replaying the game from scratch. I just

like the option to go between the two. Um, so

yeah, I, I got rid of them. I'm officially only

a PC gamer again, which has not been the case

since I was about 12 when I got, well, actually

before that I was 10, I got my first Game Boy.

Um, and then I got a Sega Genesis like two years

later. Yeah, I know. Like behind the curve. Um,

I had a Game Boy pocket and then the Game Boy

advanced. Uh, and then I got the, the Sega Genesis.

And then I bought a Nintendo GameCube later on.

Brand new in the store. And then I later had

to give that up to my brother. And then I bought

another one years later. Sold. And then I bought

a used PlayStation 2. And again, I've sold all

things for different reasons. Some because I

didn't play them. Some because they took up space.

Like the PS2 I got rid of solely because my memory

card died. And I lost all of my save games for

like 12, 13 games that I'd played. And I'm like,

I'm done. And I took it to GameStop and I pawned

it all. I was like, I'm done. And my wife's like,

you don't want to just buy another memory card?

I'm like, no, I'm done. I'm like, I don't, it

frustrates me. So I'm strictly a PC gamer, more

so this generation because the current level

consoles are the same as... PCs at this point

and I can upgrade my PC and keep playing whereas

the consoles they're nickel and diamond you like

three four hundred dollars every time to get

something that's not as vastly superior to the

previous model so I'm I'm just I'm done with

it plus I can use my Xbox controller on the computer

now so there's really no reason like I have a

a spare Xbox controller, which is corded and

it blows because it's corded, but I don't want

to spend the money to get a wireless one. Uh,

I did design an altered geek one for like an

Xbox one that works with like windows 10. Um,

and it's wireless and everything, but that's

like almost a hundred dollars, like just to order

it from him or from Microsoft. And I don't have

that kind of money to spend on a controller.

Um, although I would love to buy that controller,

uh, it's not in the cards for me. So I'm just

going to stick with my like cheapo $30 uh controller

that i have um so yeah i mean i don't know if

this this applies to anybody else with like the

console thing like if if like you lose your save

games does it like make or break the system for

you like or does it just uh you know do you keep

them anyway do you replay them like i know some

people it matters some people it doesn't um like

just like i stated for me it's kind of uh um

one of those things i just i i can't get past

it so And then with the lack of new games, I

just don't really want to do it. And you have

to pay to play online, which is another thing.

I did it for a little bit on my 360, but I'm

at the point now I don't really want to spend

the money. And being that nothing I played, like

last time I played Battlefield 4 on the 360,

barely anybody was on it, and I had to wait forever

to connect to a server. And there's barely any

of them left on the PC version. So I mostly play

just Battlefield 1 when I play online. I don't

even know if there's Unreal Tournament 3 servers

anymore. I used to play that a long time ago

too. I guess I could try reinstalling it and

see, but I really don't care at this point. And

then Diablo 3, like I used to play. I know that's

still on there, but I have no ambition to go

back to the game. I probably wouldn't get another

Diablo. haven't played a blizzard game since

that but or really before that i played diablo

2 and that was about it um and then in the late

90s early 2000s i played starcraft which was

awesome um so yeah that's that's about all i

got on this episode uh so i hope you guys enjoyed

this episode of altered gig um i guess i could

mention the uh the one bit of of feedback we

got last episode which was from Tim Silvers saying

that he understands why I would want to start

fresh on social media I've been considering evaluating

my friends list just because I have a lot of

acquaintances and I have posted some political

things after the election I remained silent beforehand

when I saw outlandish posts on my feed but I

let it go now I feel I should I need to post

some honest views on topics but I try to pick

and choose and I look for unbiased news That's

the most difficult thing in this era is finding

unbiased news or something that's like 100 %

legit because it's all biased for the most part.

And yeah, the starting fresh, I trimmed my Twitter

followers or people I follow by like, I knocked

it down a third. I still have about another third

I'd like to go. Facebook, I cut my people like

two thirds. So it's vastly shorter. So if anybody's

listening to this and I cut you, it's nothing

personal. I just, I was going through massively.

You can always try and re -request and I'll see.

But sometimes I just kind of want people to just

go to the fan page and then I'll just post there

or just follow me on Twitter because the other

one's like for my family for the most part. So

I just, I don't really want to do that anymore

because I never use it to post. I barely post.

I usually like something or I leave stuff alone

for the most part. And then Tim mentions about

my conversation on the big business mergers and

how they concern him. They always tell us it's

better to serve the customers, but prices go

up and service goes down. In some towns, you

only have one choice or two choices, as it is.

So large companies merging means some of those

areas will have but one choice for service. He

says, I'm Comcast right now. I've been with them

since moving almost two years ago. We had a good

price on bundle, but the deal is up this year.

I was in a two -year contract. We have one other

option, but it's DSL at three megabytes, whereas

we can get much faster speeds with Comcast. He

goes on to talk about U -verse and X1. And I've

tried DSL and I could get 24 megabytes, but it's

the same cost as getting like 50 at Comcast or

like 25 at Comcast. And I hate the bundles because

I don't watch television. And I don't have a

phone. So it's a bit ridiculous for me to have

to bundle just to get a cheap price. I don't

mind spending like, like right now I spend like

$59 just for 25 megabyte internet and it sucks.

Um, I just, I can't, I can't, I don't know. I

was at 95 megabyte download speeds on my last

special and I was paying less. because I was

getting 75 megabytes and then most of the time

I was getting like 90. So I could stream very

easily. Now I can't even do it. So like, I don't

even, I don't even mess with that aspect of YouTube

anymore. And half my video takes forever to buffer.

It just irritates me. So, but yeah. So before

I go on another tirade or another rant or whatnot,

I'm going to cut it off here. So was there anything

on the Super Bowl trailers that you guys enjoyed?
