Don't Look Under The Internet
PO BOX 6437
Aurora IL 60598
don't look under the internet after dark All right.
Speaker 2:I'm recording again. Wow, welcome Dad, dad, dad, dad Jason's leaving. I am Say goodbye to Jason. He's going to buy cigarettes.
Speaker 3:He'll be right back, it's okay. Right back, I promise.
Speaker 2:Cigarettes and milk.
Speaker 3:Cigarettes and milk.
Speaker 2:I'll be back in 10 minutes.
Speaker 3:I promise, yep, I'll walk back in 10 minutes. I promise I'll walk you out real quick. I'll be right back. You boys convalate.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, what a nice man you are. As he's stuffing his fucking gullet.
Speaker 1:Talk about how buggy Oblivion is.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, do you ever watch a guy called the Spiffing Brit?
Speaker 1:I saw one of his videos recommended me just earlier today and it was about Oblivion.
Speaker 2:Dude, it's funny Watch it. It's probably the one I watched. He fucking breaks that game so hard.
Speaker 1:Immediately. That's kind of what it's known for.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, no, I know, I played Oblivion a very small amount way back in the day and I didn't play any um uh skyrim like at all. I just I didn't care for skyrim for whatever reason, but uh, it was just, it was very funny. He maxed his um sneak to 100 before he left the tutorial area. Um, and oh my god, my fat cat just came right up on here. Um, so, yeah he, he maxes a sneak like out before he even gets out of the tutorial place. Um, he basically used that like duplicate, uh, like hack where you like put stuff in the barrels like next to each other and you can just um duplicate a bunch of shit. And basically his whole goal was to get a bunch of money, buy a house and then um get a hundred percent like, uh, fuck, I forget what it's called uh like the invisibility, I forget what the perk is called. Yes, chameleon. So he had 110 chameleon.
Speaker 2:So basically he would just go in and just sneak, attack everyone, uh and kill bosses. It would take fucking forever, but he would just go in and just sneak, attack everyone, uh and kill bosses. It would take fucking forever, but he would just be able to kill them because they didn't know where you were when you hit them, so he killed uh there's, I forget what the blade is. Oh my god, you fat fuck get off the computer. Um forget what. Who has this blade? But it's like the best blade in the game and he just went in there and took a fucking hour and a half just arrowing this lady to death.
Speaker 2:But, you couldn't see him because she didn't know where he was getting attacked from. But yeah, I just thought it was funny. I just forgot how broken that fucking game is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there are absolutely no guardrails whatsoever to keep you from doing crazy shit like that. That was the first time I played through it on Xbox 360 back in the day. There's a DLC that adds a mage's tower, and on the 360 version, if you installed the DLC and then went inside the tower and then closed the game like saved the game and then closed it and then uninstalled the and then closed the game like saved the game and then closed it and then uninstalled the DLC and loaded that save back you would fall through the earth into like a testing area that you were never supposed to actually get into. That had like a bunch of like test items and stuff and it was mostly just items that would give you just insanely overpowered enchants. So I did that. I made myself completely invisible and then just like did the rest of the game like that.
Speaker 2:That's so funny. I'm glad that they left all that shit in, like they were like you know what we're going to make it look good, but fuck it, let's just leave all the shit. I think they patched maybe a couple things I think is what he was saying but like, yeah, it's uh the only things they changed were like they added sprint and then they, they improved the archery, because the original archery was kind of meh.
Speaker 3:So they made it a lot more like Skyrims. They actually changed something else that is very controversial and I'm not a fan of it. They made the boobie armor on the lady less boobie.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they did that they also took away the male and female pronouns in the character creation screen, yeah, so how am I supposed to know?
Speaker 2:That's the fun of it.
Speaker 1:There's a mod that you can put it back now Instead of body type 1 and body type 2, it's male and female again like god intended it's it's fat cocks and big milkers are you guys just talking about oblivion this whole time?
Speaker 3:is that what's happening?
Speaker 1:sure, sure yeah, I was just talking to about the brokenness that I saw uh, it did add some extra brokenness, though, like some of it I'm not a fan of. For one thing, the game runs. It runs okay, but I get, like these issues and a lot of other people have this where, like, it just stutters real bad, where, like, especially if you're outdoors, it just like freezes up for a couple seconds when.
Speaker 2:Dude was playing it. His game crashed a lot.
Speaker 1:I've only had it crash once. Crashing is not the easy thing for me.
Speaker 2:I wonder if it's because I think it was crashing on him because he was duplicating items while willy nilly.
Speaker 1:I don't know though stuttering is pretty bad, and then there's a couple other things that are broken. Like there's a staff that will kill somebody and then resurrect them as undead and then they like fight for you. But the issue is, when you kill, when you use the staff on them, it kills them and then it reanimates them, but the corpse stays corpse. So like it's just like this floating corpse that's just like like just like moving around the room and attacking stuff, but it's not actually doing anything.
Speaker 2:Matt, you are lagging so bad in your video that, like anytime you do anything, you're just like that's exactly what both of you guys have looked back to me all night.
Speaker 1:I don't know what the deal is oh, hell yeah interesting, I wonder what the fuck's going on. My connection to discord is green and my latency is only 10 milliseconds. How? Do you check that?
Speaker 3:it's down at the bottom, mine's green and my latency is 5 milliseconds. Mine is 54.
Speaker 1:So you're the culprit? I don't think I affect you guys at all, why it would affect you guys 50 MS is actually fairly normal too, yeah that's not bad.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I'm at 4.
Speaker 3:It must be a Discord thing, I'm not sure. Probably Discord's bad Ever since Discord went private. I don't know I'm at four, it must be. It's that metronet thing, I'm not sure, probably discord. Ever since discord went, private, private equity. You know what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1:huge mistake. I don't think you can go. I don't think that's how that works for sure. What do you?
Speaker 3:want to talk about oh three, three ms my three monkey scrotums. Oh my god, what do I want? To talk about.
Speaker 2:I was going to ask what are you guys playing besides that? Well, what's on the list of games, right?
Speaker 1:now where I started playing Oblivion, I was playing a bunch of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, which is pretty good, pretty, pretty fun. It's not like an open-ended RPG, it's more of a linear thing, but it has potential for a lot of the same kind of wackiness that Oblivion does, where you can steal from people. Every quest has multiple ways that you can solve it. It'll be a quest like get this item, and you can either do something to get the person to give you the item, or you can just kill the person. The thing about it, though, is it's very punishing, and if you get caught doing something you're not supposed to, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2:It's a medieval RPG, I think I've heard of it. I haven't really watched anything on it, but I've definitely heard the name.
Speaker 3:It looks really good okay, I have been replaying through halo 3 odst because it was always one of my favorites. Uh, looking back at it and I gotta say it holds up pretty fucking great. There is one thing about it that I don't really care about, a couple things, but my major grife with it. Have you guys played it before?
Speaker 2:I'm not a halo person. I've literally never played. I say I've never played, but I never played through the stories of any of the Halos. I just played multiplayer on a couple of them.
Speaker 3:I've never played through the story of Halo 1, but I played through Halo 2 and 3 with my buddy, ben, who you guys know he was on with his dad.
Speaker 2:I've never met him.
Speaker 3:Doug, you've never even talked to him before.
Speaker 2:I don't think he doesn't text me at 7 in the morning about my yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Doug, you've never even talked to him before.
Speaker 3:I don't think he doesn't text me at 7 in the morning about Magic. Ever he does, dude same. I'm going to message you like 5.30. He's like what do you think of this, commander?
Speaker 2:I'm like you fucking woke me up for this, bro. Yeah, he sent me one the other day and it was like so much text and I'm like bro up.
Speaker 3:I have no idea if this is good or not Either way, but we used to play all those and we went through ODST together as well. Very fun game because it's a little different from regular Halo, where it's like you know, halo is this big, like you're on alien planets and you're fighting all these aliens, and you're still kind of doing that to an extent. In this game You're still fighting the aliens On the Dyson Sphere.
Speaker 3:There is no Dyson Sphere in this one, but you're back on Earth, which in Halo you don't really visit Earth that often. It was teased in Reach where they're like oh, you're going to go to the fucking, was it New Mumbawa or something like that? Mombasaasa, thank you, and you never really go there, but in odst you are there it's an halo 2 on that.
Speaker 1:Is it because you go back to cairo, right oh?
Speaker 3:shit. Maybe I don't remember halo 2 all that much, so you might be right. Either way, it was a breath of fresh air to be in in back on earth and like it's very condensed, like you're in a city and the city's fucked up. But my biggest gripe with it is it takes place at night, which I like because it adds this like tension to everything. And they give you this like night vision like toggle where you just flip it on and off. But that night vision toggle is basically required to be on at all times, otherwise you can't see shit. So if it's supposed to be, if you have to have it on all the time, then just make that the standard. Look, don't give me the option to turn it on and off if I can't play without it off. And that's my biggest gripe. I like the concept, but I feel I did a little poorly, um, but all in all, very fun game.
Speaker 3:Probably going to play through the rest of the campaigns. Probably going to skip one. I got through. I just find one very boring. I got through. I was playing it on the Xbox one. I got about halfway through and it's just. It's not for me. I might just start a Halo 2 and go from there, but I'm having a really good time with it so far. Yes, halo 2 mostly takes place on there.
Speaker 1:Well, fuck'm having a really good time with it so far. Yes, halo 2 mostly takes place on Earth well, fuck, I was a liar interesting.
Speaker 2:I uh also, mike, if you're logged in to the Epic now, nope, well, nevermind. They do free games every like, literally every day, or every day, every or every day, every other day, every two days, something like that. And they had Dead Island 2 a couple days ago, so I downloaded that and it's pretty good.
Speaker 3:It's pretty good. Actually, they're free games. Is there a time limit? For how long you can play it? Until it expires and they go on to another one? No, you just get it.
Speaker 2:As long as you download it in the time that it's available, like right now. Their free games are called Deliver it All Costs, gigapocalypse and Sifu, which Get Sifu.
Speaker 1:I want to play Sifu. Yeah, Sifu's pretty cool.
Speaker 2:Well, you have to download it on yours because I'm not logged into the deludy one.
Speaker 3:But um, I mean you can do it you know what they say when I see foo, I eat it, you know see if it was the one where you like get old right and like yeah, every time you lose, I'm really fast I know, I think nate was playing that one.
Speaker 2:He's like it's pretty cool, um, but yeah I'm just I don't.
Speaker 3:I just I don't play video games like that to where, like I can't say I have like a genre or something that I like. I I tried picking up doom the 2016 doom and it's, it's fun, but I'm playing it in a way that the game doesn't want you to play, so it's how can you even play doom wrong?
Speaker 3:you just run around and shoot I'm, I'm like my natural ability is like or not natural ability, but like my natural like response is every time I go into an area, I just bust out the pistol and bust out the scope and I just shoot off demons from a distance. So like I'm doing like a stealth version of Doom, which doesn't work in Doom because it's not that kind of game.
Speaker 1:You just run in and just blast stuff man.
Speaker 3:Exactly. I don't think I like that. I don't think.
Speaker 2:Doom is for me. Were you not a Quake.
Speaker 3:No, I'm not a running gun guy. I don't think Doom is for me. I knew it was that going into it, but it was cheap as shit so I bought it. I think I bought it for five bucks, so I was like fuck it, why not?
Speaker 2:Okay, Unreal Tournament style.
Speaker 1:I really enjoyed Doom 2016, but I haven't played either of the sequels.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a really good game. I'll give them that I'm enjoying what I'm playing. But again, I'm just playing it the wrong way.
Speaker 2:I don't do running guns I guess you know what I think I'm gonna bust out pretty soon here. I think I'm gonna bust out sonic 2 battle arena on my fucking gamecube, because I'll fucking, I want to get some chows going hell yeah, dude get a chow garden.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I love that shit, I kind of want to get um back and like replay the sly cooper games, because I fucking love those games. Those are my favorites.
Speaker 2:Um if if you like that. Did you like the like jack and dexter and like the ratchet and clank games?
Speaker 3:oh yeah, I loved ratchet and clank. I found a a glitch in ratchet and cl 1, I think it was for infinite money and beat the game pretty immediately because of that. There's a level where, matt, are you familiar with Ratchet and Clank at all? Yeah, have you played them have?
Speaker 1:you heard about this? Have you seen this? Yeah, I think I've played the first one. I'm not a big fan of those early PlayStation platformer type games.
Speaker 3:Oh, I love them, but maybe it's I'm biased because I grew up on them, but I fucking love them. Jak and Daxter 3. Love that game because it's very easy to get very overpowered very quickly in that game. I don't think they meant for that to happen, but that's that one where they introduce Light Jack and Dark Jack.
Speaker 2:I don't think I played past, past the second Jack and Dexter.
Speaker 3:Oh, that one was my favorite, just because it introduced like this, like angelic version of Jack, and then like this demonic version.
Speaker 2:I think I know what you're talking about. I think I've seen the image of that. Yeah.
Speaker 3:But you collect these like egg things and you can use them to purchase like like you can. You can use them to purchase like like you can. You can only stay in the angel meter for so long for the meter runs out, or the dark meter for so long for that runs out. But if you get enough of these egg things, it gives you unlimited time in both. And it's way too easy to get that. Like I, you get it almost within the first like hour of the game. Like it's very easy. So where you're just overpowered throughout the entire fucking game. Um, but back to Ratchet and Clank. Real quick little hack. I found Glitch, glitchy, glitch. There's that guy. What's his name? Uh, skid, it's like skid mcflaps or whatever. The the skateboard guy. You remember them?
Speaker 2:Um, honestly, it's been too long.
Speaker 3:I don't know His name's like skid mcmarks or skid mFlash or something like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and he's like a skateboarder guy.
Speaker 3:He gives you McMarx.
Speaker 2:Is it McMarx? Yeah, he's like a hippie, green hippie guy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and he gives you a skateboard, essentially, and you go into this race and say, oh, I gotta win this race to do XYZ thing. And while you're in the race, there are these boxes that contain nuts and bolts, which is the currency in the game. And there is this one gun in the game that you can purchase called the Screecher, I think it is and it just shoots off this alarm sound that breaks all the boxes around you. If you walk up to boxes and then you walk just on this level, because on this level you can't move backwards, it's just straight up forward progression it won't let you go back. If you hop off the skateboard during the race, you'll lose the race, but you keep whatever nuts and bolts that you gain from the race.
Speaker 3:If you hop off it, when you see a bunch of boxes and you just go like an inch or two in front of them to where they're off screen, you could turn around, blast the um, that like screecher gun, and it'll break the boxes and they're off screen. So just keep reloading back in over and over and you just get unlimited money. They have, uh, the, the, the gun in that game called the rhino, which is rip you a new one. Yeah, which is like the best, the best gun in the game. I bought it immediately and god that game got so easy after getting that thing man, what a good game I like playing.
Speaker 1:I fucking love them. And they got what'd you say. I like playing games on easy mode I do too. I enjoy the story to games, even if it's not just like feel like I'm just ripping through a game, Games that are just like intentionally extremely difficult. I don't find a lot of enjoyment in that's why I don't play the Souls games.
Speaker 2:I don't really care for those games at all.
Speaker 1:There's nothing fun about that to me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not my jam. Like killing bosses is cool, but like why do I want to die 30 million times over and over again, like I don't know?
Speaker 1:I'm already struggling through life. Why would I want to?
Speaker 2:relax in my free time by struggling through some artificial like I will say I I usually play games on like their, like normal mode. I don't typically start them on like easier if I have the option to, but, um, it's more so I just like. I like to have a little bit of a challenge, yeah.
Speaker 3:I'm with you on that. Yeah, I, I'm, I'm, I'm with both. You know I like going like that heavy medium depends on the game. To like doom, I'm trying to play through it but I put on easy mode because, like I'm not trying to die a fuckload and I see, like the other games have this advancing very out-of-this-world plot that I kind of want to get to. Bless you, doug. So I play on easy, so I don't just get my ass thrashed in.
Speaker 1:See, Doom is something I would play on normal because it basically has no story, and so if it's just too easy, then there's like there's no point. Well, they expanded it.
Speaker 3:Doom Eternal and Dark Ages is like a pretty heavy story, isn't it?
Speaker 2:My cat, just took a shit and it's so smelly. Oh, my fucking god RIP. You know what game I'm not just talking about, like old games that I really want to play. I want to play fucking Turok.
Speaker 3:Turok yeah, the N64 or one of the 360. Yeah, the N64. Oh, I love the 360 one. It's so bad but so good I just want to.
Speaker 2:So I, in my living room I have like, uh, the Calac bulbs, you know, like the big, just the squares, um, and I have all of my systems hooked up and I bought like a switcher, um, and I bought a RGB like cable that I can plug into it and just plug into whichever console I want to, you know, plug it into. And then I have an HDMI port for like it's like six different ports that I can plug everything into, so I can just click a button and it goes to each one. And, uh, I haven't utilized it nearly enough. But, man, I just want to bust out a bunch of my old n64 games.
Speaker 3:Like I want to play conqueror's bad fur day, fucking donkey conk 64, like yeah, I'm trying to get back into like my playstation 1 stuff, but a lot of my um, my playstation 1 don't play discs all that well, the, the audio is fucked up and my PlayStation 2 doesn't run, so I'm running out of shit. I don't have anything to play this on and I don't want to play a ROM. I get ROMs will run just as well, but I want the physical thing, I want the disc, I want the case, I want all that shit.
Speaker 1:You should just buy a new Playstation. They're really not that expensive.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 3:I'll probably end up getting another PS2 because I mean, at that point it's backwards compatible, so why the fuck not just get that? The thing you can do with your PS2 is.
Speaker 1:I know you said you don't want to download ROMs, but they're very easy to soft mod where you can just plug a hard drive into them and just run the images. Like, I have a hard drive plugged into my PS2 that has basically every PS2 game in it and they just boot right off. Some of them don't work right. That's how my Wii U is it's modded.
Speaker 2:I never bust out my Wii U, but it's got every Wii U game on it. I don't know why.
Speaker 3:My Wii had that. Yeah, not every game downloaded on it, but Nintendo put something on there where it wouldn't read burned CDs and I had it modded to where it could. So my neighbor used to just burn fucking games. For me I have, I shit you not a stack of probably like 200 games just lying around around here ready to go.
Speaker 1:Your ps2 disk drive doesn't work, but it still starts, so you could do that. What? Like plug something into it, yeah, yeah that's fine, you get a big memory card. I actually have a.
Speaker 2:Japanese ps2. Yeah, I do too, purely for Japanese games. Yeah, so wait, how would that?
Speaker 3:work. What yeah I? Do too Purely for Japanese games. So wait, how would that work? What would I do with it?
Speaker 2:You stick it up your butt.
Speaker 1:What do you mean? You plug a hard drive into it that has all the images on it, and then you just select the game you want to boot and it boots it oh, it's that easy.
Speaker 2:Huh pretty much all the old consoles are really easy to hack, like that's fair.
Speaker 3:I guess there's not much going on with them either. They're very basic once.
Speaker 2:Uh, so once a console, I forget, am I? I used to have a buddy who was like really into this stuff, but basically, once a console doesn't have a lot of support anymore, the mod community is pretty much the first ones to be able to see like exactly how they need to do it, and they'll get like all the the ins and outs of the console and then they just immediately hack the console like pretty quickly.
Speaker 1:Um, people do it before it goes out of style too, but that's kind of dying though because there was a period of time where, when the PS2 went out of support, or the PS3 or whatever, a lot of hacks became public that were previously kind of kept under wraps because the company stopped supporting it and they kind of turned a blind eye to it because they don't sell games for that console anymore.
Speaker 1:Because they don't sell games for that console anymore. But now, since so many Like Nintendo is selling N64 games and stuff on their emulator on the Switch, they've gotten way more aggressive about shutting that sort of stuff down and a lot of the companies are very aggressive about it when the console is like still in generation, like there's a um, there's a podcast called darknet diaries. That's like a, it's like a cyber security podcast, but it also just talks. It's mostly this guy who just does interviews with, like people who are in underground scenes on the internet or that have done like significant cyber crime type stuff. But there's an episode about a guy who was part of a huge part of, like the early xbox hacking scene and microsoft ruined this kid's life. I mean completely ruined his life. He, he, he owes like 10 million dollars or something like that and he'll never be able to pay back and he spent time.
Speaker 2:I think I saw something about that dude. That's fucking crazy.
Speaker 3:God damn.
Speaker 2:Corporations suck ass man. Yeah, there's millions and millions of dollars Like worth companies. They're like what if we like, destroy this?
Speaker 1:little. What if a hundred billion dollars wasn't enough and we needed to ruin people's lives, infinite growth, baby, gotta have it.
Speaker 3:Let us set this example. I don't know, I just I miss gaming back in the day. There's, there's, and it's probably just my old man, like back in my day, but I feel like there's a certain like, there's a certain feeling and vibe to like playstation one and playstation 2 games or like that just generation, those generations in general that hasn't been recaptured oh, I love it, dude, I'm.
Speaker 2:I'm such a sucker for nostalgic, like anything 90s and early 2000s. I'm a sucker for like. I love the nostalgia factor to like the stuff we did when we were kids. You know what I'm saying? Like I do enjoy games or tv or whatever it is like. I literally will sit and watch and this is I don't know if this is what this says about me as a person, but I will literally watch those like compilations on youtube where it's like 30 minutes of 90s halloween commercials oh, yeah, I get those.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'll fucking watch that. I'll watch these corporate ads, hell yeah.
Speaker 1:Hell yeah.
Speaker 3:Man, they already watched this good, didn't they?
Speaker 1:They did.
Speaker 2:I'm going back to it. Fucking yep Wish there was a fucking you know Circuit City near me. Still Gosh Circuit.
Speaker 1:City always sucked ass. It was totally a front for something. You ever actually go into a circuit city most of the time they were, just there was like nothing in there it was all bullshit.
Speaker 2:It was like phones before phones were really phones. It was like radios and like control, like rc cars and like really random shit, if I remember exactly it was like it was.
Speaker 1:It was like uncanny valley almost, and there was almost never anybody actually shopping in there. But you just go in there and it was just like metal shelves just full of, like you said, just like random electronic shit. It was like if somebody was like, yeah, this is what an electronic store would sell I remember the shells of circuit cities better than I do the inside of Circuit Cities.
Speaker 2:There was one in my town for so long I remember it being empty more than I remember it ever being an actual store.
Speaker 3:There's a Radio Shack in Yorkville. I think at one point Radio Shack was fucking lit dude.
Speaker 1:You know what's funny.
Speaker 2:I think I might have been thinking of Radio Shack while I was talking about Circuit City. No, no.
Speaker 1:Circuit City was like these very large retail stores that were Right, they were big but they sold office supplies, and then it was the type of equipment that you were talking about, but it was like the store is way too big for this and there's like there's, they do not have the foot traffic to sustain this. It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2:I never understood those tech like stores though, like that, Like did you ever have like a Tiger Direct, like actual store near you? I was about to say bring back tiger direct and fries electronics yeah, dude, like tiger direct was like just filled with computer shit and everything was expensive and it's like who's coming in here and like buying any of this stuff off your shelf, like, yeah, maybe a computer, but like you've got three aisles worth of cables that I don't think are even relevant anymore, like what what is going on?
Speaker 3:There's a firewire in here. What I don't want to see? Some firewire.
Speaker 1:The only one of those stores that made any sense to me was is well, and he's still doing really well is uh, fuck. No, I can't even think of the name. They just built a new one in. Oh, uh.
Speaker 2:Micro Center.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Micro.
Speaker 2:Center. Yep, I'm kind of hoping a Micro Center comes up near us.
Speaker 1:but yeah, either way, micro Center's sick and they have like fantastic deals on shit too.
Speaker 2:Yeah that's probably why they're still around, because they always like killed it. They were killing it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they'll run sales on like CPUs and graphics cards and stuff that you can only get in-store. But they're like elegant, hell yeah, but no, never been to one. I'm sure there's one close to you.
Speaker 3:I'll just go to a Best Buy dawg. It's the same thing, really, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, really get fucking put on some lipstick and go get fucked.
Speaker 3:Hey, we bought a laptop from there, I think. I actually don't remember when we got our laptop from.
Speaker 2:We bought it from Newegg, did we? I think so.
Speaker 1:I think I ship from TigerDirect online all the time Because they usually had good prices on stuff but then they went out of business.
Speaker 3:Did they go out of? Yeah, did they damn. Somebody bought the rights.
Speaker 1:Somebody bought the rights to the name not that long ago and there is a TigerDirect website now, but it's ass.
Speaker 3:Oh, it's fucking South32 all over again.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, what's going on with that website?
Speaker 1:Go check it out. It just redirects at the construction company now.
Speaker 2:Oh shit, that's unfortunate, it's just.
Speaker 3:I don't know.
Speaker 1:TigerDirect. I've been retired.
Speaker 3:Oh, retired? I don't know. I've never went to those Stores. I do miss like Um. I was talking with Robbie, our buddy, about this and like he was like yeah, I miss like physical, like events and shit, like midnight releases, like you don't have those anymore. There's no, there's no lines or anything. There's no hype about like a new release anymore. It's just it's expected to come out and it comes out. There's no like, there's no like party for it or anything you know. There's no launch. It's just here it is buy it.
Speaker 2:I blame a lot of that on covid too, because like nothing's open open 24 hours anymore, and as soon as they haven't done, it in a long time.
Speaker 2:They haven't done that well to be fair, I've, I've had. I went to a midnight release of, uh, the last pokemon game at my game stop that used to be by my house. I mean, granted, the midnight release was like 10pm, but like you know, yeah. But uh, after COVID I noticed that they no longer did it. They were just like, yeah, the day of we'll call you, you can come in. It's like oh sick, cool, I guess, and now everybody just digitally downloads it.
Speaker 1:They barely even sell physical copies of shit anymore. That's the big thing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I miss owning a thing.
Speaker 2:I'm a sucker for owning a thing. That's why I collect DVDs. Still, I fucking love DVDs. I love the shitty quality of a DVD. Give me the shit quality I want that I'm starting a DVD collection but like just putting the shit quality I want that.
Speaker 1:I'm starting a DVD collection. Just putting your ownership of media in corporations' hands is a horrible, horrible idea. They pull stuff off of Netflix all the time. There's lots of games you straight up can't download anymore.
Speaker 2:They shut the Xbox 360 store down, so if you had digital copies of any Xbox 360 games, you can't get them anymore yeah, I, I lost a bunch of movies and tv on xbox 360 because I had bought them and now I can't view any of it. I can't like. I had uh full seasons of stuff like eureka and like, uh, warehouse 13 that I had bought and fucking the jackass gumball rally, which is insanely hard to find on dvd, um, that I couldn't access because I just can't log into that anymore and just see your stuff.
Speaker 1:I was very upset my piracy is a good thing. The other thing is like they they change stuff too, like uh grand theft auto vice city and for the music licenses for a bunch of the music in the game expired so they updated the Steam version and just took the music out, so like the versions of those games on Steam have like half the music from the original on them, I'm so glad I still own an original copy of Midnight Club Los Angeles, cause the music in that is fucking slapping.
Speaker 2:I guarantee they lost the rights to the music on that, because that was like fucking 20 plus years ago at this point.
Speaker 1:That's a big reason why they can't redo a lot of those kind of games. Like people have been asking for Need for Speed Underground remasters forever but like I mean they got like Lil Jon on the soundtrack and stuff. They can't, and it's not only the license for the music but the licenses for the cars too, because they had to pay for licenses for Ford and Honda and Toyota and stuff and they don't have that anymore.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there's even like you can't even find. Disney, for example, owns the Simpsons. They removed the first episode of season three, star Craving Dad, whichever one of that. They removed the first episode of season three Star Craving Dad, whichever one that is I forget which season it is or whatever but they removed that which is like a very popular Simpsons episode. It's seen as one of the better episodes and it's just not even on Disney+.
Speaker 2:They removed the Michael Jackson one too, I think.
Speaker 3:That's the one that's Star Craving Dad.
Speaker 2:Is that what it is?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, it's just gone. You cannot find that unless you have it on fucking DVD.
Speaker 2:I do it's ridiculous. I think, up to season 17 on DVD for the Simpsons, because I collected that in South Park, which I'm super glad about and I know, matt, you're a South Park fan. They're moving it from Hulu or Paramount.
Speaker 1:Yeah, paramount.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're. They moved it from Paramount to HBO and they are they're banning so many of the episode the legal battle between that shit was insane.
Speaker 3:I've I looked into that because, um, Paramount I forget which one it is, but it's either Paramount has a license for a series of South Park movies and HBO has a license for the show, or it's vice versa Paramount- put out a bunch of movies recently and now they're in like this legal battle for who owns what because the South Park creators they both they accept recently, yeah, and now they're in like this legal battle for who owns what because, uh, the south park creators like they both, they accepted like a 900 million dollar deal from like hbo and like a fucking 1 billion dollar deal from paramount, and now they're both like colliding and they don't know what to fucking do.
Speaker 3:And it's this giant legal battle for South Park. So, like they're trying to figure out, um, if like cause, like they can't make movies, cause, then Paramount gets them. If they make the show, then it doesn't go to Paramount, it just goes strictly to HBO and HBO, I think. I think Paramount owns uh Comedy Central and the show is being aired on Comedy Central, which they're losing, they don't have the ability to do anymore because HBO owns the and the show is being aired on Comedy Central, which they don't have the ability to do anymore because HBO owns the rights to the show. So it's this whole fucking legal battle.
Speaker 2:You've seen it just airing too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm wondering if that's why it's this insane-ass legal battle, because these guys signed two different deals with two different giant conglomerate companies. It's nuts.
Speaker 2:Corporations Well yeah, I, giant conglomerate companies, it's nuts Corporations. I think I was just talking about this episode, season 7, episode 1, it's called Cancelled where they expose Earth as a giant reality TV show for aliens. That's one of the banned episodes and I have no idea why. I literally don't. I think it's because they make fun of Jewish people in it, because this race of aliens is like clearly jewish, um, but uh, it's so stupid movie executives yeah, pretty much like they have these like big ass noses, like huge noses, um, but uh, yeah, it's, it's stupid A race in our history.
Speaker 2:Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3:A race in our history our Simpsons and our South Park.
Speaker 2:Can't wait for the Golden.
Speaker 3:Dome, golden Dome. Yeah, it's just support piracy, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, seriously.
Speaker 3:Go to your local Pirate Bay, see what they have in stock and download it, cause it's probably something cool.
Speaker 1:That's fine. Well, I gotta call it a night, cause I gotta fucking get up and drive.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I do too. I have a fucking, I have to lead a meeting tomorrow in the morning and I don't.
Speaker 3:Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1:I feel like I haven't been home Like barely for like the last. Feel like I haven't been home Like barely For like the last month.
