Speaker 1: 0:12

tackle podcast. I am afro and I am here with my co-host lexi, uh damn we are in a totally new thing again.

Speaker 1: 0:22

Uh, as you can see, we are in a totally new format again. Um, so, you know, we've been moving around just trying to find the best thing that works for us. Um, kind of just wanted to get on and kind of tell you how we're going to do things today. We actually have a special guest coming in today that we met at the convention the Villains Con and Rock Hill the Adventures Table, which is a company business that is starting within the Rock Hill area, basically tabletop restaurant type of combination type of thing. So, yeah, I mean that's what we're going to be talking about today.

Speaker 1: 1:06

Also going to get into I actually, since I'm not working, I actually sat and watched the whole games awards from start to finish and, um, there was a couple what's the word? Um, it was good, orchestra that was there was great. You know, we'll get into that more. Um, but everything seemed to be, uh, really good. But there was, you know it, it's an award show, so it's a lot of corny jokes. A lot of corny jokes. Um, some games look good. Some of them, you know, whatever, whatever floats your boat. Uh, there were. There was a big controversy about the game of the year.

Speaker 1: 1:55

But um, we'll talk about that Cause that that surprised the hell out of me, and I'm not a gamer, gamer, gamer like that. So it uh, it's just kind of uh strange to see what did win compared to what else was on that list. It was, uh, very, very interesting. So, like I, we are going to be talking with a business here soon and I just wanted to get in and give you guys a intro and let me see something. But I guess we can start off with what have you been up to, Lexi, since we last talked?

Speaker 2: 2:53

Since we last talked. When did we last talk? Two weeks ago, okay, so we talked on the third, nothing really. I've been playing Path of Exile Because it just came out. I don't know what they did, but two is so much harder than one and I Like, I don't know what they did, but two is so much harder than one, and it's been weird. But I played it today and it feels like they nerfed a lot of different stuff because it was so much easier. So that's that. And I've also been just kind of gearing up for the holidays. I've been gearing up for, like, my travel next year, so like I have my birthday trip, that I'm going on going to dreamville next year, bought those tickets it's the last one, right it is the last one and I am sad about it, but at least I

Speaker 1: 3:55

mean yeah I get it. I mean, what else can you do? You can't keep doing the same same thing.

Speaker 2: 4:03

It's not even that. It's more like he said it before. He's getting old and so like he doesn't want to do it and then it takes so much to put on. Yeah, that that festival every year and so, like this year coming up in 2025, I'm taking my, my twin, aka my like best friend, so I bought his ticket. He's going with me.

Speaker 1: 4:23

He's like a big j cole fan, um, so this is gonna be amazing for him when you say like big j cole fan, you mean like one of them niggas that says that still calls them young simba yes, and that like will literally randomly start spinning out j cole lyrics at you yeah that that is my twin.

Speaker 2: 4:42

Yeah, that is what he will do. Um, and I've been reading. I wrote some books, so I've been reading more because that's something I want to do and I don't really have time to do, but now I do, so I've been doing that. Yeah, that's pretty much it so far between the last two weeks, I think.

Speaker 1: 5:06

I would say on my side getting ready for family to come down, gifts, buying stuff you know what I mean. Uh, what else? Um, gonna be doing like a free sample this weekend, so putting some stuff on the pit, cooking up some stuff and seeing how that goes, um, what else. And I've just been cleaning. You know what I mean, seeing how that goes, what else. And I've just been cleaning. You know what I mean, just cleaning the garage room, bathrooms, all that stuff, making sure all that's good. The last thing I need is my mother coming in, you know, saying shit. Man, I don't think we talked the last time, did we? Did I talk about taking something to the vet last time?

Speaker 1: 5:57

yes yes, I did.

Speaker 2: 5:59

Okay, we had that conversation, but I I know I've heard yeah, jesus christ.

Speaker 1: 6:04

Um, like I said before, you guys, if you want to get a pet, really think about it. I know it's christmas time and some of y'all might be getting some animals and stuff, like that man I walked in, so Sonny does this shit where I don't know if it's her being anxious or what, or it's just her just playing games or some shit, I don't know. But I can't leave, don't leave anything on the floor because she'll chew it the fuck up. Um, ie like, damn, uh, paper towel, a bracelet, like these bracelets, like. So there's a kid in the neighborhood who goes, you know, door to door and they make these type of bracelets, right, and I like huh.

Speaker 2: 7:00

That's cute.

Speaker 1: 7:01

Yeah, and I like I don't wear like a lot of gold and stuff like that. I don't wear a lot of jewelry like that anyway, mostly a watch and maybe, like you know, something on my wrist. I like leather jewelry and I like beaded stuff. So I, when they came out, I was like hey, can you make something that's like bigger, that can fit around my wrist? And she was like yeah, and I was like OK, cool, and I was like how much was it? And she was charging like Like three dollars for these. Yeah, and I'm like I was like like you really need to start charging more for your shit. I was like she was like, yeah, my dad said the same thing and I was like you need to listen to him because this is, I mean, I know people that can. You know, anybody can do this, but it's just with anything with. It's like, do you want to do it? You know what I mean. So that's one thing, so love that.

Speaker 1: 8:01

And then, oh shit, I put in a water filter into my house. So first time doing plumbing, I say let me give it a try, let me see what happens. Let me preface this saying I have waterproof, I have waterproof floors. Ok, let me just preface that by saying that I have waterproof floors, so with that I um. So I got this like three-stage filter, great filter, big as hell, right? Um, it came mounted like in a mounting bracket, which was kind of stupid. It's big, bulky, and when it's water filled up in it it gets heavy, so you need something to really mount it to the room where my shutoff valve was. It's not, it's a pretty tight fit. It's just the way that the house was built and I don't have upstairs or downstairs, so my crawl space is literally a crawl space. So I have to get on my hands and knees and go underneath of that thing and shut off the water. So I get.

Speaker 1: 9:01

I'm doing research, I'm drawing out diagrams and stuff like that. I wish I had some drawing out diagrams and stuff like that. Like, just like, really like making sure this shit is right. So I'm looking into, like, should I use pvc? Should I use pex? Pex is another uh water tubing should I go with pex a, pex b? So I ended up going with pex b. It was cheap. I bought um like a 10 foot, 10 feet of uh pex b white and I bought a pipe cutter three apes. I already knew it was three apes. I bought another shutoff valve, all that shit, right. So I put all this together. I'm like yeah, you know you, you, you sit there, you got your shit together, you just sit there. You'd be like yeah, I did this shit, this shit looked good well you know, so I um and I and the filter came with it.

Speaker 1: 9:55

I also bought another piece that is a pre-sediment filter that goes basically all the water goes through that first and then it goes to the main filter. So I had that attached to. Here's the thing I have everything set up, everything's tightened down, teflon tape on everything that needs Teflon tape, tighten, tighten, tighten, tighten. On the pre filter there's a little lever that turns it on and off and I must have just left that shit on and I had a bucket underneath of it. So I go downstairs, go into my crawl space, I flip that damn water on and I'm like, all right, cool Water's on. I go into the house, it's just bucket like mounds of water, just like going into this bucket and overflowing in my closet into my living room where my dog is sleeping. Her bed gets wet and it leads somewhat to the kitchen and I stop it and I turn it off beforehand, right, and I'm just like, oh my gosh, this is uh shit. The thing was. The thing is, if I just the. The big shit is, if I just turn that lever off, everything would have been fine. It had like a couple small leaks, kind of at the top of the filter on one side, but I I didn't take a step back and like think I just saw water just going and I just fucking panicked and just said, oh shit, damn it, this is like some american funniest videos type shit like this is, this is like some american funniest videos type shit. So I'm sitting there and then I'm sitting and I'm like shit, how can I make this work? So it, it works well.

Speaker 1: 11:48

And then I still had to come up with a way to mount this thing on the wall, because within the closet I have a stud finder. There's no stud within the closet, it's all drywall and the place where I can only put it. So I'm sitting there. I'm like okay. So I took it out of the mount and I just have it on the floor and all the piping and the tubing works. Great it's. It really does filter the water. It doesn't smell. My ice cubes look better. The water feels different, like it's a different feel in the water, but the biggest thing is it doesn't smell and it's just like it's great.

Speaker 1: 12:29

But it was just that fuck up that I did, trying to do shit myself. I called a plumber Plumbers don't. Didn't get back to myself. I called a plumber, plumbers didn't get back to me, let the voice know, and everything. They didn't get back to me. I said, you know what? Fuck it, I'm going to do it myself. What can go wrong? I'm so happy I have waterproof floors, that's the best shit. And after a while I just said, fuck it, I'll clean up the water after the fact, it ain't going no way. So I was just like that was that was also like a big thing that I did and I wanted to do it before my family came down, and that that was the. That was the big shit.

Speaker 1: 13:09

I mean, man, I I made so many trips lowes, it's not even funny like I made a lot of I made a lot of trips to lowes, right, and I was just going straight to the plumbing, just going straight back, and just you know, I knew what I needed, I knew what size I needed it was. Just I'm starting to realize that plumbing basically is just a big fucking puzzle and if you can get everything the way that it needs to be, you're fine, you're great and also well, I guess I'll go into this too. Speaking of that, the, the whole job search thing and everything like that, it's cool. I've been contemplating about going into a trade plumbing, elevator maintenance or something like that just because it's something that's never going to go away. There's always going to be a need for them.

Speaker 1: 14:13

They usually have unions, you know, in place that are a little bit more organized and stuff, and it's just. It's just a better job security. I'm not saying tech isn't, uh, isn't the best of job security, but it really ain't the best job security, um, depending on the type of tech. I know some people that work in cyber security that have been there for a minute and it's just they, they're just instilled in it yeah, so is that is the type?

Speaker 2: 14:46

uh, and then are you working like public or private sector? Because you know in the public sector it's hard as fuck to get fired from the government. So yeah, but it's not uncommon for people to get in tech and then just be like nah, I want to do something else and go and do something else yeah, it's um it.

Speaker 1: 15:12

I was just like, hey, I'm just sitting and thinking I'm just like I wonder. I'm just sitting there thinking, I'm just like I wonder how that would be what I like it. I know it's not going to go anywhere and, um, it's just something that you know, I don't know, it's just a thought just to back up, just in case something doesn't come through or it doesn't work out, or anything like that. Because you know, I'm applying to jobs every day. You get recruiters contacting jesus. You get recruiters contacting you and then the recruiter is like, hey, I got this, you know this job here and the company is looking to hire and all that stuff. They like your resume, resume, and then you just it's that whole stupid waiting game. The waiting game is where it gets stupid Right, and it's holiday season. A lot of people already check the fuck out. Some people were probably checked out beginning of the month. Like as soon as December hit, people were probably already checked out.

Speaker 2: 16:16

Yeah, yeah so and then you have people on pto yeah that last little bit of pto.

Speaker 1: 16:22

So they ain't there so they ain't there, they're not worried about, um, they ain't worried about none of that shit. It is in the. I guess where I'm at right now is that I had a recruiter contact me and they were like oh yeah, this position would work great. It's a great position, it's in raleigh, it's great. But then it's like it's a startup company, which I don't mind. That, I don't mind startups. Startups are actually pretty cool because you actually know, you get to know the ins and outs of the company, you get to know the people a little bit better, and it's still small before it actually goes to a bigger thing. You know what I mean and I can appreciate that. That's just me. Um, it it's great. It seemed like a great position, but now it's just like, oh, we have to wait for we have to wait to get uh, stuff approved and everything like that. I'm just like yeah, I'm just like yeah, so you guys won't be doing anything.

Speaker 2: 17:38

Until first of the year.

Speaker 1: 17:40

Yeah, if you guys are waiting to get self-approved and I'm just like, yeah, I highly doubt you guys are going to do anything before the holiday season, so but yeah, I mean that's kind of what I've been really up to and I and yeah, nothing too crazy. Oh, and I suddenly put on my christmas tree, I cleaned out my garage and I said I'm not even doing it this year.

Speaker 2: 18:06

This really isn't any good garage. Yes, I'm not doing it this year because it's too late. Now it's literally december 17th. Christmas isn't like next week. Why would I put the tree up now?

Speaker 1: 18:17

I mean for holiday cheer.

Speaker 2: 18:22

For who? There's nobody in the house, I don't really care. I'm ready to get my birthday on out the way. That's what I'm ready for.

Speaker 1: 18:32

It's for you.

Speaker 2: 18:39

It's not for me Because, yeah, christmas is nice, bang and dandy, great, whatever. But like I like, if I want something, I just buy. It's not like, oh, I'm way to christmas and buy it, like no, like stuff I want, I just I've already bought.

Speaker 1: 18:50

So what did you wait? Did I hate to read this? Uh, did you buy something else, ninja, recently?

Speaker 2: 19:00

why, why, why why? Are you telling me because, because why are you telling me my life okay? Um, yes, I did. I brought a ninja thirsty. Um, you don't know what that is they saw you coming and named it.

Speaker 2: 19:16

Anyways. So he has this whole thing about me having ninja appliances in my house because of the slushy. He saw that and then when he came he saw my other ninja appliances so I bought another one. I bought a ninja thirsty, which is a. It's basically a sparkling water mixer. It's kind of like the SodaStream, but not exactly because it doesn't do like Serbs, like the SodaStream there. Like SodaStream you can get like a Pepsi Mountain Dew. Whatever Thirsty doesn't do that. It's more like do you want it flat? You want a little bit of ting, or do you want all the way ting? So it makes like sparkling waters with different flavors.

Speaker 1: 19:55

So it's not soda.

Speaker 2: 19:58

Not in the traditional sense of soda. No, it's not good. So, yes, but you do have like a CO2 canister and then the water has to. It doesn't have to be cold, but they recommend that it's cold. It gives you like a container. Put the water in like the freezer or the fridge, and then pop it on and make whatever you're making.

Speaker 1: 20:22

Yeah, how often have you been using it?

Speaker 2: 20:27

I really don't use it that often, especially, I know, but it's there. Speaking of Ninja, I joined the Ninja Slushie group last week. Yeah, yeah, there's a group and these bitches be going wild over this. Ninja slushy, like you can't get it. You have to wait until, like, it's restarted.

Speaker 2: 20:52

That's how bad it is right now, like oh for real yeah, people have been like trying to buy it and people have been upcharging it to like six hundred, seven hundred dollars for like it's three hundred dollars, and so you have people that's been doing that and they have like covers for it. I'm like y'all really out here buying covers for this machine.

Speaker 2: 21:13

Yes, just while an owl. I'm just like OK, this is kind of like the stanley craze, when y'all be buying all these accessories for these stanley cups. Well, it's just a cup like I'm just y'all, y'all, I have really buying all these accessories for a slushy machine that it's crazy I'm not even really using like that but it's like I said it's it's nice.

Speaker 1: 21:39

I mean for what it is it's nice it's nice, I'm not lying like it's ass.

Speaker 2: 21:43

No, it's nice yeah spite, you know, spite slushies all day, every day, but like it's already 300, why are you buying more stuff for like you don't need a cover for it? The only thing I had to buy recently for it was the, the clear container that does get easily stained, yeah, and so I had to buy another one of those. Even those were out of stock. Couldn't get those either. I had to wait till they put those back in stock to get one.

Speaker 1: 22:11

I had to 3d print that thing. God, that's crazy Shit. I had something I was thinking about, but I'll say it yeah, that's crazy that people are. I never would have thought there was a group for it at all.

Speaker 2: 22:37

It is.

Speaker 1: 22:41

That's crazy. I will. I guess we can go into it. Like I said, I took some notes. Okay, let's cut it straight up. Game of the Year was won by. Was it Astro Bot?

Speaker 2: 23:04

Don't ask me because I don't know, I haven't watched, don't care.

Speaker 1: 23:07

What was it called I?

Speaker 2: 23:08

think it was Astro Bot, though, that won Game of the Year.

Speaker 1: 23:11

Yeah, yeah, astro Bot, astro Bot won Game of the Year and it's a PlayStation exclusive. Yeah, so that's just weird, because Astro Bot, astro Bot won Game of the Year and it's a PlayStation exclusive.

Speaker 2: 23:20

Yeah. So that's just weird, because Astro Bot I don't think it came out this year Astro Bot's been out. No, Did it come out this year.

Speaker 1: 23:29

It came out this year September 6th. That's such a short time.

Speaker 2: 23:37

Right for it to get Game of the Year like that.

Speaker 1: 23:39

So I can see the controversy that was the other shit too. Okay. So I literally just watched a video of uh somebody I don't know how true this is, I'm like no, but when the game of the game of the year was being like, when it happened, like people in the back, the people that made uh wukong they were crying. And I don't blame, like I didn't play wukong, but I definitely watched a lot of people play play it.

Speaker 2: 24:11

Yeah, and it like it's not my type of game, but it was a really good game, like I actually watched you play it and be entertained yeah, like astrobot reminds me of spyro, like it gives me that type of spyro type of um, like feel, and I never played it.

Speaker 1: 24:31

I don't I don't have a playstation, but I guess that's the other thing too like a exclusive game.

Speaker 2: 24:42

So if you have to have a ps5, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. What I'm about to say. Did wukong win anything? But yes, it did it won some stuff it won best action game and it was just fed, I guess yeah, but the most.

Speaker 1: 24:57

But we all know if you get that badge of the game, the game award of the year, like game of the year that's, that's the best shit that everything that you put into this game is solidified if you win that game, if you win that award excuse me, and so that was the one thing that there's a lot of controversy about. People like, oh, can I win? How can I win? I mean if, if it was a good game, it was a good game and a lot of people played it. I just find it interesting that it was a exclusive, that one. But I mean, yeah, I um, the notes that I took, okay, so some games that they talked about, home is a game dealing with cats.

Speaker 2: 25:48

It looked pretty interesting. Wait, don't we already have stray?

Speaker 1: 25:53

yeah, don't ask me, I don't know, don't ask me they're stray.

Speaker 2: 25:59

So what's the difference between that and stray?

Speaker 1: 26:03

I just saw the preview. I saw cats and I was like, okay, alright, I get it. Witcher 4 looked good. It looked great from the preview. It looked really good. New Outer Ring is coming out.

Speaker 2: 26:19

Wait, wait, wait, wait, how you just want to skip the whole entire witcher for controversy, that's going on right what hit me with it.

Speaker 1: 26:28

What are you talking?

Speaker 2: 26:29

about you. You haven't heard like people are pissed that siri's going to be the protagonist with this. Gerald's not going to be the protagonist, it's siri, and so I didn't know people were pissed off about yes, yes oh shit yes, but when that?

Speaker 1: 26:45

look, I don't know, we might. I'm gonna say this this might make a clip that people be like oh, what the fuck you talking, but does it make more sense? I mean when that like to like, grab, like, keep that going, like it's like okay, I could be wrong. For example, god of War. Right Now, let's say they make another one. His son gets older. Would you not want to be playing as his son?

Speaker 2: 27:12

But then again you gotta think about it. In Witcher 3, there's parts of it that you play as Ciri anyway, so it wasn't like it's that far from the narrative or whatever the case may be. Like she, you, you can play as her for a little bit. So them doing this I I think is a good move, but then again you have, like you know, your incels. I want to be like, oh my god, a woman, yeah. So that's, that's where we are now with this.

Speaker 1: 27:39

I don't know. I mean I would. I'm not. I'm not pissed off about the game. I would be. I think there's more controversy about fucking the Witcher series going to that bullshit and they getting um, they got a Helmsworth right. Um, it's one of the Helmsworth's, it's one of the brothers that's playing them now yeah, so talking about the series, yeah, yep, I think that shit's gonna be bullshit, but I mean, that's what I would get more pissed off about than um the game but I get it y'all gonna hate me, but I haven't finished the series.

Speaker 2: 28:15

Like I, I didn't finish the first season. Um, I know it's terrible, you need to watch. That I mean like I know, I know it's good, like don't get me wrong, because I love witcher. But like me and my attention span, I don't really like watching shows for far too long. Like if I do, I have to binge watch it like over the course of time Like it can't be something that I got to stop.

Speaker 1: 28:41

That shit is.

Speaker 2: 28:42

And come back to, because I won't.

Speaker 1: 28:45

And the other big thing is that Henry Henry Carver is like he's, he's, he's one of them, ones Like he's a real one. That's really into the shit. Yeah, I mean that motherfucker plays Warhammer Like real shit.

Speaker 2: 29:01

He plays Warhammer. He plays WoW. Yes, he played Witcher to get into the role. Yeah, like he's about that nerd life.

Speaker 1: 29:09

He knows all about it. He's in it, so I can appreciate that. For sure, for sure. Like I said, new Elden Ring I don't play on the ring, but the new one coming out, um, I guess I'll be watching people play it online and get pissed off, uh call of duty.

Speaker 2: 29:29

You never got it.

Speaker 1: 29:30

I'm just saying I will um indiana jones made by bethesda. They actually had. Um, they actually had. No, they advertised like it was oh yeah, okay, so it came out. But it came out, when did it come out?

Speaker 2: 29:48

it should have. I don't know. I've been hearing people talk about like an indiana jones game so I'm like I'm pretty sure that came out already because the way they advertise that shit, like it was coming out, like because the game awards was what last thursday yeah I wonder if it came out like that friday maybe wonder.

Speaker 1: 30:15

Oh, it came out the ninth. They were advertising the fuck out that thing, like, because they showed the previews and everything, but they had uh I've heard people talking about it but they had harrison ford out there giving an award and all that stuff.

Speaker 1: 30:28

It was pretty cool. Um, another game that won like a lot of shit was a card game called um Bolero. I forgot what it's called, I don't know, but it was a card game that won like what? That was winning a lot of shit too, which was crazy to me Not crazy, but I get it. Um, there was a game called uh I forgot the title, but it was Gen Design. They're coming out with another, the Outer Worlds. They're coming out with a game called Split Fiction.

Speaker 1: 31:11

The creator of that game also made what was that two-player game that came out where you had to work together. It takes two. Huh, it takes two. Yeah, so I will say I I love the confidence of the creator for this. I thought it was great that motherfucker came up on stage. He was like y'all check this shit out. So I know I'm being really confident right now. This is what he said. I know I'm being confident right now, but this game is going to be fucking amazing and you guys are gonna fucking like it. And when they showed the preview, it actually looked really good. That motherfucker wasn't lying, that shit looked. That shit looked really, really good and I was like, wow, okay, I like his confidence, so definitely mess with that. Another one Borderlands 4. A big one for me. I like fighting games, so a big one for me was Virtual Fighter. I like fighting games, so a big one for me was Virtual Fighter.

Speaker 2: 32:24

They're doing another one.

Speaker 1: 32:26

Yes, yes, they are. Remember we talked about I think this was like last year Remember we talked about how Sega said they're going to be coming back and like bringing shit in, like they're going to. Sega was like, oh yeah, so we got it and we're going to be coming back and like bringing shit in, like they're going to. Sega was like, oh yeah, so we got it and we're going to start putting games out and doing shit, because they're supposed to be coming out with like crazy taxi again and all that shit I mean, crazy taxi is already.

Speaker 2: 32:53

Oh, they are doing a redo of it, that is yeah, right.

Speaker 1: 32:57

So I'm like, oh, these motherfuckers gonna come in here and kill shit because they look great. And I watched the one hour. Um, the next day they had like kind of like one hour joint kind of talking about the game and how it's going to be. The creators of it. They got the original like creators of the game and all that stuff. That was pretty dope too. Then there was another one. I forgot who made it, but it's called Intergalactic. I saw that there was some controversy about it.

Speaker 1: 33:41

I forgot what it was, but we'll see how it is, huh it's by Naughty Dog yeah, that's what it was, naughty Dog. Yeah, so they made that and they advertised that and I was like, okay, we'll see how it is, but I saw there was some controversy about it. So, people, you know, I think people just get pissed off about every fucking thing and the one of the big things to me.

Speaker 1: 34:16

Like I said, the orchestra that they got on this award show was fucking great. It was really good, almost to the point where I was like, damn, I kind of want to hear more of them, right, and when they were going through the nominees for the game of the year, they were like literally every game that came up they were just playing the theme song in an orchestra way. And there was, there was this flute player, this flute player that nigga was jamming. That motherfucker was having a good old time up on that stage. He was. He was the only person that wasn't like just like stationary, sitting down and playing an instrument. That motherfucker was moving, grooving, he was feeling that shit. He was just switching out instruments going to something else, switching out instruments going to something. He was moving so that.

Speaker 2: 35:18

So that reminds me of what I did and I forgot about it to mention it, but I went to watch interstellar 555, uh, last week. It's daft punk movie okay and like I've never seen it before and like I love daft punk part, but that was very interesting to watch. It's very interesting how he got those visuals from just listening to this music because there's no voice acting whatsoever, it's just music and it tells a whole complete story. It's so wild to see you saw it in theaters but it's gone now, that's what's up.

Speaker 1: 36:02

Damn, that orchestra was sick. But, like I said, you get the corny jokes and all that shit. I think this year was the was the 10th year, not the 10th. Either the 10th, either 10th or 20 for the gamer, the gamer yeah, one of the two, the 10th or the 20th the 11th show 11, okay, um so yeah, they made that one.

Speaker 1: 36:32

You know, did a lot of celebrating for that and everything like that, um, so that was pretty cool too. I think next year is going to have a lot of games coming. There's going to be a lot of shit coming.

Speaker 2: 36:49

Okay, so I'm looking at like who won what? Why? The fuck did Sony win six awards and then Sega won three and Xbox Series won two? Yeah, and the only reason they won six is because the astro bot went in four. Yep oh okay, okay yeah but this, this, okay.

Speaker 2: 37:16

I'm glad I didn't watch, because I don't play any of these games. The only one I would have like been happy about would have been metaphor, but I haven't even started that yet and I have somebody now that's been bugging me when you're gonna start metaphor. I don't know, that's 100 hour plus. I do not have the time to play um, but yeah, okay, this, this would have been a waste of my time, so I'm glad I didn't watch. Thank you for giving us close notes yeah, it was.

Speaker 1: 37:39

I just got everything that was interesting to me. Um, it was pretty entertaining to watch. I just think that the um, the biggest thing was, uh, it was just I don't know like Astro, but I was like what is Astro? Like, when I saw it I was like what is Astro? So I did research and I was like okay, it's exclusive, that's cool. You got some people I was reading, some people like like, oh, I'm so happy this game won because now playstation knows that. You know, people like exclusive games and not third party type shit. You know what I mean okay hey look whatever I play pc.

Speaker 2: 38:29

That's all I play look, and I play them all yeah so it's just like I don't. I don't think that's where sony's been taking their swings and their misses, because they have hell of exclusives before they start putting them out like on steam and everywhere else they have hell of exclusives. That's not where they were, like you know, big money gripping it was.

Speaker 1: 38:52

It was not that um because god of war was exclusive right yeah, for the longest yeah, that's what I'm talking about and it it's intro it. I don't know, man, I like I said I didn't play Wukong, but I know, peep, that shit was getting praise and praise from the way that it looked yeah, so that shit not winning, that's, that's you know one thing that did win, that I am happy about what Fallout? Oh yeah, they, they did.

Speaker 2: 39:30

They did.

Speaker 1: 39:32

Didn't Baldur's Gate win something too?

Speaker 2: 39:34

Uh, no, shouldn't have, because that came out last year.

Speaker 1: 39:38

Hmm, um, yeah, fallout did win. And who was there? Todd Howard, the chick that plays Lucy? Was that her name? Yeah, that's Lucy. She was there, todd Howard, the chick that plays Lucy.

Speaker 2: 39:50

Was that her name? Yeah, that's Lucy.

Speaker 1: 39:52

She was there too, so it was pretty cool to see Fallout win something, and they're filming season 2.

Speaker 2: 40:02

Yes, cannot wait, but I will be patient because I want them to do it well and I want to see what they're going to do with Mr House, because you know the house always wins. I will show you guys my New Vegas poster, but I don't feel like moving my camera.

Speaker 1: 40:16

But yeah, the house always wins and speaking of, well, tv series and stuff. The isn't um is Beastars tv series and stuff. The isn't um, uh, uh is b-stars already out yep, it's out.

Speaker 2: 40:34

I already watched the first two episodes. I haven't watched it like recently, but yeah, it's out, so you need to watch that if you haven't. Um, apparently netflix is also doing a bioshock adaptation. I don't know how are you serious? Yeah, I don't know how I'm gonna to feel about that, because Bioshock is one of my favorite games.

Speaker 1: 40:50

I love Bioshock. Bioshock's a good one. Yeah, I mean I need to watch the Beastars.

Speaker 2: 41:02

Speaker 2: 41:37

We should do like a holiday gifts episode.

Speaker 1: 41:39

We did not do one yeah it, I think I don't know. I'm at the a, we're old, we're older, so gift, gift getting and giving. I'm to the point where I sit there and I'm like what the hell do I get my stepmother and my father to people that are retired? What do you get them? I had no idea. So I had to think about it. I got something, but I had to really think about that. Same with my moms. It's just like like man, these are three retired people. What do you give people that are retired? And they're just like shooting the shit and chilling.

Speaker 2: 42:18

So yeah, you really oh yeah, that's for sure.

Speaker 1: 42:22

Um have you ever, you never, have you ever returned a gift before?

Speaker 2: 42:28

I have not returned a gift. There. I have got some gifts. I'm just like what the fuck? And I just like, alright, this is something I'm really not going to use, but I'm going to keep it and use it or whatever. But I know I did get some of my Christmas gift. I got these bad boys right here. Ooh, if you know me, I have lights behind me and lights around my desk. I have these. These are cubes, the nanolive cubes. They have a little thing. You hang headphones, controllers, that kind of thing, I don't.

Speaker 2: 43:15

I either I'm gonna put them like here, where you guys can't see them, or I'm going to switch this whole entire back wall up and put them on that back wall. Um, so we'll see. Because, like, my triangles have been dead for like two months and I just finally got those fixed, um, so, yeah, and then I got a massage gun and then, um, over, there's my burberry bag. That's still in the back.

Speaker 1: 43:43

So, yeah, oh, okay, that's where you were. Okay, gotcha what no, when I, when I, when I, sit you, oh, when you were like no, no, I was not there getting my burberry back oh you were, I was not no oh okay, I was like oh, that's where you were all, right, I got you um. But yeah, man, it's um. You know, holiday season once you get older, it's pretty chill. You ain't got no damn kids. It's really fucking chill because you ain't you know buying shit for children, dealing with all that crap.

Speaker 2: 44:21

And then I also think this year I did have to buy stuff for kids, actually, really, yes, my twin has a baby. He turns one tomorrow. Happy birthday, um, and his birthday is tomorrow and then this christmas, and so, like I bought him a bunch of stuff for christmas. So, like, speaking of this is on topic actually. So one of the things I bought him was a little kid's gaming chair like he's. He's turning one, so it's like it's a little kid's gaming chair, he's turning one. It's a little baby gaming chair and it has a little fake headset.

Speaker 2: 44:54

I bought it on Amazon. It has a little fake headset and it has a little tablet that he can take with him and play with, because his dad will be playing COD or whatever, and he's always trying to take his dad's controller. You can always hear him like, no, seven, don't do that, stop trying to take his dad's controller. And you can always hear him like, no, 7, don't do that, stop trying to take my controller. And so I was like, alright, so let me find him some little gaming things, because I foresee him being a gamer. So I bought him the little set that's dope, that's sick.

Speaker 1: 45:21
