All right, I have hit record. We're recording now?
That's the indication, yes.
What are you guys drinking today?
Oh, you will not like it.
Oh, really? No. I have specifically held off on one of the most popular, if not the most popular beer, at least in America, which is called the IPA.
I've heard that. Yeah, totally.
Now you know. You probably heard it whenever we go to a restaurant.
Probably. And I asked them what IPAs they have. I mean, I like all beer, but I can eventually find something to like all beer.
Let's say that. But when it comes to, like, I would do nothing but IPAs if it was up to me.
That's part of why I like the show.
What makes it, what's distinctive about an IPA?
It's generally the biggest thing that is going to make it difficult for the mic community is going to be how hoppy it is.
so this is where you get the real bitterness okay and tang is in this particular style judy hops what's that judy hops yeah but it's also this one is also a novel in that uh it's grains that we get the sugar from to ferment are uh there's a lot of rye in there which is kind of nerdy for lack of a better term okay doing using rye in your base gives it a you can give it a darker color and a darker flavor inside there.
A little more spicy.
So I should not even bother coming back today to...
Well, no, no. It would entertain me quite a bit if you came back and...
Made a face? And tried to put it in your craw.
Well, no, because the reality is, right, is the channel needs all this data.
Mm -hmm. They need all this information because it helps them sort of triangulate these sensations, right?
All right, let's see what's going on out here in these webs.
Yeah, there's Monster Hunter Friday.
It's exciting. Shit, it's already here?
yeah monster hunters on friday and the sea of thieves beta is tomorrow oh so how do you get the sea of thieves beta pre -order the game you have to pre -order okay okay did you see that anything made by microsoft yeah is now a part of their game pass is day and date i mean that's interesting so for 10 it's 10 a month something like that i have to be honest with you before i i saw this i was not looking into it i have no idea how much it is i just thought it was interesting because it's like when i think about the games that i play on my xbox you know or have played most it's not hard it's been gears
halo forza you know like those are the ones that i play yeah so those are the ones that they make so if you're part of that plan yeah depending on the release schedule for the year it's pretty reasonable but also if rare is going to make a a good game yeah i want to see that right well it's so funny it's because whenever i saw that before i was like okay well it's not going to look like that on mine because i have the regular xbox but i don't have the regular xbox i have the xbox one you're the shit hot xbox and i and i have the um and i was after the holidays like they're fucking giving tvs away
yeah they really want you to buy them seems like and i don't i don't know if this samsung is like it has good reviews use but there's probably something it's probably not a cool tv yeah you know it's probably as long as it does 4k and hdr yeah exactly exactly but what i was surprised that is how much fiddling there is yeah fiddling is back yeah i had to go in and like turn on hdr processing for the input that i wanted to i actually it tries to simulate it it's like those um those things where they try to make things into 60 frames per second motion plus or whatever i cannot not endure that no it's
horrible um who is it for i don't know god it's horrible and i like it this tv thank god lets me establish principles for all inputs oh that's a good one that's great news yeah mine i still have to go in input by input and determine yeah yeah yeah well this one this one is is doing what i want it to but it tries to simulate much as the other devices try try to simulate frame rate t i think that tvs with hdr will try to simulate hdr oh uh and maybe that works but if you if it's hdr simulation thing is going uh it doesn't allow it to communicate with a device that has its own real hdr settings right
so i turned it on thinking i was being a smart boy but no that's not true i had to turn it off and then because there's this whole list in there and i'm sure you've seen it yeah of features that are either available or not available to the box right and so it went all the way down and there was there was god probably 12 circle slash type things and it's just like no yeah no it's like for me like having to do something like that to a television it's like how you must feel when you're using a pc like a television is not a device i will tolerate that type of shit from what's funny is i don't mind
it on a television of course you don't because i hate it yeah that's why well i mean it's just a matter of going through some menus and i can usually figure those out but like my fucking problem was fortnite yeah okay that's it listen i'm not listen i'm going through and checking some boxes is one thing yeah but i had to open a web browser during the load screens of fortnite so as to avoid a crash like i had to the alt tab out that's yeah listen i would never say that that makes sense just that i find it more like when you when you when i figure something like that out i find it more satisfying
yeah it's even a problem with my toaster yeah and i would i would just be mad right you know i wouldn't be like oh what's going on with these coils you know i don't fuck it yeah i had to go over goddamn damn toast son saturday and fixed the internet at my dad's house this is a tradition yeah and uh it's a weird fix like their modem if i log into their modem it has something called like multimedia advantage or something where it like tries to prioritize audio and video oh and it just all it does is completely fuck up their wireless and so it had gotten reset somehow and i had to go go back over
and fix it my dad's like oh man well they can reset it from they can reset those what happened is they probably pushed an update or something yeah that's what i told him but he's like oh it's so great that you know you know how to fix this stuff and i was like dad i don't all i did is google i typed in the model number of this modem and bad wi -fi and then i read like all all i can do is google better than you i can't fix any of this shit i don't know how to to fix any of it i could just google yeah yeah yeah i mean but that's the first thing like if someone's like hey this isn't working did you
google it because that's all i'm gonna do you have to yeah you have to so i had gotten a replacement for one of brenna's earrings uh for her birthday and it took like months to like figure it out and find the right one and because you want them to sort of look like they're the same i think that's the idea generally yeah It finally happened And then she put them On her bedside table And then Bennett ate one of them The one you bought?
Yeah The new one? Probably I mean there's two of them there He ate one of them I mean I don't know At this point it doesn't matter They're as close as they can get So we've been watching that We've been watching the product Yeah you gotta check that poop We've been watching the contents Of that poop hole Yeah It's like you lift that tail up Is there an eye stuck in there?
Yeah just close one eye get a real good look at that tunnel he hasn't pooped it out yet no he did he did he just found it I guess when you put that back on your head real close you put that in real close to your whole zone I bet that was a rough ride in there the toad's wild ride all right listen so it's time it's time for us as it has been so many times before.
We have to make a comic strip?
To create a comical strip to entertain.
And maybe, you know what?
Maybe even teach a thing or two.
I am proud to say that my son does not know who Duke Nukem or John Cena is.
How does he not know who John Cena is?
I mean, he doesn't watch television.
He watches YouTube.
Yeah, but you don't have to watch. How would you ever know who he is?
Because he's a may -may.
A what? He's a meme.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I've never seen... The only reason I know who he is is because he was on that show that, like, the...
You know, where people had to go and, like, live, and then they got kicked out.
That Allison was on.
Oh, was he a host? He was the host of that show.
I don't know what he is other than that.
He's a wrestler. Oh, he's a wrestler.
Yeah, but there's memes for days.
Like, Elliot will just sometimes say, John Cena!
Like, unbidden. What?
I've never seen a meme of him.
Oh, it's... Yeah, I don't...
I guess I've avoided it.
I don't know anything about him.
It's similar to Chuck Norris.
Oh, really? Insofar as he's manifested a kind of...
Raw masculinity. ...meta -media performance art.
It does seem stupid that Duke Nukem would be...
But, I mean, it must just be Hollywood, right?
Like, somebody knows somebody and is like, hey.
Right, or they've been pushing it for a while, or...
Yeah, I mean, 20 years ago we were playing Duke Nukem.
Yeah, it's not – look, I mean, here's the situation.
Obviously his parents – Your parents have gone away on a week's vacation.
You know what happened.
You know what's going on with the keys and the Porsche and all the stuff.
Right. The hand, the thigh.
Like it's the whole thing.
Parents just don't understand.
Yeah. Thank you for bringing it back around.
So, no, the issue here is that – I mean, it's like I was listening to that video and it was like, oh, a bunch of Duke Nukem quotes.
And I was like, well, these are literally just quotes from other movies that I knew.
Yeah. Like, I don't...
Where's the character?
Like, I actually don't...
I don't know, yeah, what Duke Nukem necessarily is.
No, it's just like a reference.
And it's like, back then, you'd make a game like that and no one was even looking.
Yeah, no one gave a shit.
Yeah, nobody was looking to see.
Yeah. Right? Yeah, I'm not sure that's...
Hmm, yeah. I suspect that's not gonna get the whole way.
He's just like, oh yeah, I want to get into one of these game movies that the gamers, and it's like, nope, you want to look a little closer.
Not that one. You want to dig just a little deeper.
A little bit. All right.
God, so we had talked about that.
They got ten new skins.
So you're back into the Overwatch in a big way.
Now, did you get back into the Overwatch because you saw the goddamn Overwatch League?
Yeah, I got on the hype train for the Overwatch League And also, you know, I came back into play a little bit and I tried out Moira.
And really liked her a lot.
And then that sort of led me to trying some other characters that I hadn't played.
And so, coming back into it but trying some different people has been fun.
Yeah. Open relationship.
Yeah. Yeah, but we agree.
And, you know, we rarely agree on things like this, like matters of aesthetics.
I just sort of assumed that I just didn't understand what was going on with Moira.
Oh, no, I think she's a horrible design.
I think she's the first one that they've fucked up on.
Yeah, she doesn't fit in there.
No, I don't understand how the same mechanism that created those other heroes created Moira.
And I don't understand how it gets named Moira.
I don't even like saying it.
It's a horrible name.
Moira. The name is awesome.
No, the name is really stupid.
No, the name is the only good part.
Moira. No, the name is good, and the kit is incredible.
The kit is great. The kit is incredible, but I don't know what's going on with the rest of it.
why do you like the name moira i've always loved the name moira the old irish name the old dumb name dude listen well i'm sure that there are people out there named moira yes real people yeah and they're probably horrible too what and they're terrible i can tell just by the name yeah no but i don't want to be like what are you playing i'm playing moira it's dumb it's an opportunity in a dreary day you know to say a great word I mean that's how I think of it that's bizarre like you can think that that's a great word to say and I think it's just disgusting to say like it tastes bad for me to say
it I like it's creamy mouth feel but she likes to touch people from afar yeah with her mega beam and her orbs.
So the mega beam, I'm trying to think.
What does what does that hook up?
It recharges something?
No. That heals and hurts just based on whoever it hits.
Oh the ult? Yeah, her ult.
Her tether, her like damage tether heals her, it's lifesteal for her, and it recharges her healing power.
Do you have to hold it down?
Yeah. Okay. It's like it's like Symmetra's beam.
So you don't just like instantiate it and then it's done?
No, you You click it like Symmetra and hold on to them, point at them.
And then you're gaining health and building that health power.
Oh, is it like the yellow spray?
Yeah, except it's longer.
So the yellow spray is like a shotgun blast almost. Yeah, it's a cone, it looks like.
Yeah, and it's very close range.
And the damage dealing beam is much longer range and focused.
Oh, that's cool. It only attaches to one person.
Well, yeah, I never saw any over all that owl stuff.
Maybe I didn't see all the games.
I didn't see any Moira.
no i mean there's a lot of characters that don't get played at that level which is frustrating like too new i guess well and symmetra doesn't get played she's like my favorite character hardly ever see farah no farah not often never see symmetra like i don't think i've ever seen symmetra in one of those games yet yeah you know i always come in late is there pic ban you know no not that i've seen yeah i mean i i wonder if i wonder if the game would even work Can you work with pick ban?
Probably not. You can't ban—you need to be able to switch to counters.
Yeah. I think that's part of its mix.
Yeah. Right? Is that you're grabbing the whole roster.
Right. But also at that high level, there's characters that are just sort of auto -include.
Yeah. I mean, I would—but I would love to see what happened if people had to play that game with the full roster.
Mm -hmm. That would be exciting to me.
Yeah. But, yeah. It's been fun to be back into that.
Let's see. So we're—so if it's coming out Friday, like, we're trying— trying to get lined up for some monster hunter we're trying to put this team together yeah we we need to monster hunt you're here i'm here i upgraded my shit keek wants to try a monster hunter this is a good one to try yeah i mean i think i think that is the purpose of monster hunter world yeah is to sell other copies of monster hunter people are talking about like you know why isn't monster hunter world coming to the switch and it's like well it because it could never run it yeah i saw it i saw it on the playstation on the demo
and uh what are you talking about like i love the switch the switch is my favorite console maybe of all time but i don't think that's why that yeah they could come up with they could do a version of it that wasn't a good match for it sure you know but i don't want that no no no and in japan i think there's already but there's already a monster hunter there's already a monster hunter product in the traditional line line oh yeah we should just get kiko copy oh yeah yeah well now you can gift you didn't used to be able to gift on xbox oh yeah we can just because that's always the thing with him right
it's like we're always trying to haul him in on these fucking capers right and it's just like but you know to his credit he knows how long we tend to stay with games yes yeah yeah and he's not going to invest in something that we're going to play for you know a week or whatever no no no Shit, man, we're still way into Division.
Yeah. Like, I was in there last night.
Like, this, it keeps being great.
Yeah. I thought for sure PAX South was gonna break that habit.
And that's what PAX South, that's what PAX shows do.
Yeah, it breaks, it broke it for me.
We were also talking about Gabe's laptop.
Oh, yeah, he installed Subnautica on it last night.
Did he? Yeah. Yeah, there's probably a version you can crank a bunch of stuff down.
Yeah. Because it looks pretty good on mine.
Yeah, I bet. But it's the geometry.
Like, a lot of it's not super crazy pants.
It's like an underwater survival game.
It is so good. It's an underwater survival game that has, like, it has just enough story.
Right? Yeah. Like, because I like a little bit of guidance.
Like, for me, like, just taming the world is not...
Rust or whatever where you're just dropped into a...
That doesn't work for me.
Yeah. But, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it could be something about, because Subnautica's coming out, Monster Hunter World's coming out.
like it's a pretty rich scenario yeah if it's like I got this code for Subnautica I'd love to give it to your son no no no it's like this whatever weird uncle yeah right what kind of gaming what kind of PC does he have oh he doesn't have a gaming computer he's got a laptop he uses for homework he has a laptop he doesn't have a gaming PC then you do the beat you know what I feel like maybe I should adopt him I think he'd be better off living with me yeah Better living in the woods.
Yeah, it's incumbent upon me to expose him.
Yeah. And then the third panel is Taika, and he's talking to Gabe, and he's the younger.
Yeah. Pack a suitcase.
We're leaving tonight.
I'm getting you out of here.
Yeah, it can get dark so fast. It could.
It's incumbent upon me to expose him to weird shit.
Yeah, I have a code for Subnautica.
I'd like to give him?
What kind of video card does he have?
What kind of video card does he have?
What kind of laptop is it?
Dell? It's a Dell, yeah.
What kind of video card does he have?
A Dell? A Dell, I think?
I remember you asked me we just got in our first it was an Apple computer or something in the house and you were like, what kind of...
It's Grape. you're like what kind of monitor does it have i said it's color yeah that was the best part about it get ready i was like holy shit this is a color because they weren't always no like like max were pretty sweet yeah they were generally speaking uh black and white yeah dude they had the best they had the best fucking error sound yeah do you remember that fucking monkey i probably would know it if i heard it oh my god i remember playing the incredible machine oh yeah oh man i gotta listen to it hang on i remember that yep yes that's the sound it would make in max ski yep wait eep no where's
the monkey anyway it's it's fucking it's so great and it's like it's you know because whenever you fail at something whenever you fail at a task like this is serotonin dip and it's like you feel you know you feel ill -used by By the universe, but it's like a little monkey sound.
He lets you know everything's going to be okay.
Yeah, it's like, hey, you failed, but you got to hear this funny monkey.
Dell, I think, and it's just like...
Dell? The B panel maybe isn't necessary.
Yeah, it's a Dell. Son, I want you to blink twice if you are not allowed access to steam.
Dell. I had it as a question, but I think it's actually just Dell, like the word. Dell.
Yeah, I think it's a Dell.
I think it's a Dell.
Yeah, I think it's a Dell.
You know what I mean?
We were talking about it before.
It's like, what's this, what's that?
I think it should be a Dell.
It's like, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a Dell.
I'm pretty sure it's a Dell.
He doesn't understand that there's a problem.
He doesn't know at all.
You could also have the younger Gabe be like - Panel 3 is going to be a shift of some kind.
Yeah, it could also be the younger Gabe being like, it's a 960M, I've got some new drivers for it, some experimental drivers though that are i overclocked it and 960 m god god god no it's it's gonna happen it's like right now i'm just it is what it is and i am who i am and you know there's limitations but there's gonna be there's gonna be a time in this time maybe soon soon where you know imagine that all these words have hyphens between them the uncle that spoils yeah yeah i mean and i have to come over and give it to him directly if i give it to you you'll parent i can't abide that we should get
noah and ronnie together though we absolutely should for some art you're saying saturdays is a normal art time for you saturdays are good yeah okay but yeah yeah there's a couple ways we can do it yeah i'm pretty sure it's a dough yeah i i I actually like that.
It's a good game line.
Well, as a conversational arc, I actually like how insistent he is on that.
Because he feels good.
Yeah. You don't have any goddamn idea what you're talking about.
You don't, and it's like there's no way to punish you.
There's no effective way to punish you, because you won't remember.
Yeah, I mean, it's the issue that that's really the punchline, and so then you keep trying to frost it.
Yeah, I mean, I wonder if it's like, you know, he doesn't have a gaming PC.
oh no is he being punished for something did he do something wrong I don't understand is he being punished for something no we just don't you know we don't have a gaming PC in the house he doesn't need a gaming computer he plays games on the Playstation it's like well you know they learn these things at home yeah he plays games on the Playstation and homeless people shit in the alley doesn't mean they want to do it it's not a fucking choice so it's not a choice he plays games on the playstation it has to be like because that's where you make him yeah because you make yeah I like that yeah We'll
see you next time. choice
