00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you get in touch with technology? With

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: tech Stuff from how stuff works dot com. Hello to everybody,

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: and welcome to tech stuff. My name is Chris Poulette

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: and I'm an editor here at how stuff works dot Com.

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: Sitting next to me, as usual, is senior writer Jonathan

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: Strickland insert coin excellent. So I suppose we're talking about

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: video games today. Yeah, we're actually talking about a video

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: game conference, the E three Conference in Los Angeles. They'll

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: be taking place in the first week of June. That's

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: over with. Nobody goes to E three. Oh no, no, no,

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: no no. You're thinking of previous years where they started

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: to tone it down and cut back and and everyone

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: started to question whether or not it was even worth

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: going to the conference. Well, they've decided to go back

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: to uh, big flashy booths and skinnily women and uh

17
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: lots of fog machines. Lots of fog machines. Yeah we're back,

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: baby awesome. So Los Angeles Convention Center, it's gonna be

19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: filled with gaming geeks, including yours truly. I'll be there

20
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: covering the event and updating our blogs live while I'm

21
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: there and hopefully not falling asleep on the floor from

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: lack of sleep. Yeah, hopefully it will not be a

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: repeat of my behavior at c E S. Well this uh,

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: this E three thing we're talking about is the Electronics

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: Entertainment Expo, Weight Electronic Entertainment Expo. Yes, sorry, and do

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: the same thing. Yeah, yeah, I added in s and.

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Um So every year is a gathering of the entertainment

28
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: elite basically video games. Well there there's some other stuff,

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: there's primarily video games, and and it's an opportunity for

30
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: companies to make big announcements about what they're working on,

31
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: what they're gonna unveil in the coming months, usually stuff

32
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: that you're you're going to see, possibly as early as

33
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: the holiday season. That's a big, big driver for a

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: lot of the companies. Um And you know, the summer

35
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: months tend to be kind of slow in the video

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: game industry, so it's one of those things that helps

37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: propel it through the summer months as well. We've got

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: to generate your hype, you know, otherwise you don't get

39
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: the sales come October, November and December. So you know,

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: you're these companies. These are marketing stuff essentially to store

41
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: owners things like that, and just trying to to get

42
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: some excitement behind the products that they've been working on.

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: This is usually also when in the United States you'll

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: hear announcements about new hardware coming out, new consoles, that

45
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: kind of thing, if there are any. If there are,

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: and it's been a while since we've heard anything, well,

47
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: we thought what we would do is make a few

48
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: little predictions about what we think we'll go down at

49
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: this year's E three. Yeah, and uh, I'd like to

50
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: point out while doing research for this article that as

51
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: soon as I wrote something down and went to a

52
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: different site, the next site said, oh, that's never gonna happen.

53
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: This is what's going to happen. And they all went

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: in a big circle. So you know, your mileage may

55
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: very some restrictions apply. Well, that's the thing. These are predictions.

56
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: They don't have to come true. It's just what you know.

57
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: We're what we're looking at the state of how things

58
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: are right now and making some best guesses at what

59
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: these companies are gonna do when E three rolls around.

60
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: So please no wagering, right, yeah, don't don't bet the

61
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: farm based upon what peltin I say, because you'll be

62
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: searching for Col's for the next few years. Excellent. So

63
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: where do you want to start? Nintendo? Alright, alright, so

64
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't think so, No, I do not think. I

65
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: do not think there will be an announcement of a

66
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: new console from Nintendo. They have not. I mean, first

67
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: of all, the WE still going strong. It's still really

68
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: hard to find, really much in demand, although it's much

69
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: better than it had been. Oh yeah, no, it's not

70
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: as bad as the first full year of the WE

71
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: being out now. Video game sales were slow the first

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: part of the year January through March, so maybe that's

73
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: helping out a little bit too with that availability. And uh,

74
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: I think what we're gonna see is we're gonna see

75
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: more games and devices take advantage of interoperability between the

76
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: WE and the d s I. Oh yeah, the d

77
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: S I speaking in new new consoles. It's a different

78
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: version of the DS that has a couple of cameras

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: in it. Yeah, and the d S I, of course

80
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: is one of the d S and d S I

81
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: they they account for, like the I think that's the

82
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: top selling console period. Yes, um, so we're talking about

83
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: a handheld device. So yes, this, this is this is

84
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: leaving every other console in the dust. And uh so

85
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: it makes sense to tie that into the Wii, which

86
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: is another very popular console. It's the the most popular

87
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: console console. And why did you hook up to your TV? Yeah?

88
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: So I'm expecting to see a lot more interoperability between

89
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: the two. Um, I I can give you. You want

90
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: to guess which title I think is gonna be announced,

91
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: It's one that Nintendo is famous for, not not Mario,

92
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: not Zelda. Although I do think a new Zelda game

93
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: is going to be announced. Um, but a differ on

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: one and you have to catch them all. Oh no,

95
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 1: not another Pokemon title? Are you kidding me? Of course

96
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: a Pokemon title. Those things sell like crazy. And the

97
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: interoperability between the WE and the D s I, I

98
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: guarantee it. I I am almost certain that we're gonna

99
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: see a Pokemon game, and that it's going to be

100
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: a D s I game. Um. Possibly also some other

101
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: ones that that capitalize on other popular properties like Mario

102
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: and Zelda. I do think we're gonna see an actual

103
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: Zelda WI game, a new a new Zelda one. Um

104
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: that got a lot of excitement when that when the

105
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: we first came out. If you recall, so, I think

106
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna see another one of those. Um motion plus

107
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: you remember, have you heard of motion Plus the dongle

108
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: that you plug into the bottom of the Wi mote

109
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: so that it makes it more accurate. Please don't say dongle.

110
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: I hate that word. The device you plug into the

111
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: bottom of the Wi moat so it makes it more accurate. Yeah,

112
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: there's a little plug in that goes in that the

113
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: if you will the back end, the end that you

114
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: hold in your hand, you stick the dongle in the

115
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: back end. Yeah, okay, So anyway, once you've done doangling

116
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: your we mote, um it makes the increases the functionality,

117
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: makes it more accurate, more precise. Um it's and so

118
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: you can do a lot more cool motion things with

119
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: your we mote than you could previously and lets you

120
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: create even more deep games. Well, I think, um, you

121
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: know we've seen seen as an action. I think they're

122
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: going to announce Nintendo will announce that the motion plus

123
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: technology will be built into we moats starting I'm gonna

124
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: say this holiday season. So yeah, I'm saying that's an

125
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: upgrade to hardware. It will be a hardware upgrade where

126
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: you can when you buy a we moat anytime after

127
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: the holiday season and moving forward, it's gonna have the

128
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: motion plus built in, or at least you can buy

129
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: a version that has motion plus built in. They may

130
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: offer both, because who knows, they might say that once

131
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: the lower priced version. I've got a got a question

132
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: will make you laugh, all right, You think they'll announce

133
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: a price drop. Yes, they don't need to know. I

134
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: don't think so. Anyway. It would surprise me that there's

135
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: no need to. The demand is still so high. I

136
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: can't see why they would. Um, I mean they could.

137
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: And but if you're already at the point where you

138
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: still have people going into stores and say call me

139
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: when you get one in, you don't need to drop

140
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: the price. Um. And I think we're gonna see some

141
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: more channels on the weed channels. You know, when you

142
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: turn your way on you can look at the different

143
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: channels on there. I think we're gonna see some D

144
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: s I stuff, maybe some stuff for kids. Um. I

145
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: think it's just gonna be. You know, they're gonna add

146
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: more functionality to that, because that's one of those things

147
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: that helps set it apart. From the other consoles. So

148
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: you don't think anything groundbreaking coming out of the Nintendo campus,

149
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think we're gonna see

150
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: any you know, I definitely don't think we're gonna see

151
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: another Um I tell you here's what I think we

152
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: might see that not really groundbreaking, but will excite Nintendo fans.

153
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: Kid Icarus. Really, I think we're gonna get a new

154
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: kid Icarus game, all right, And Kid Chris was one

155
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: of those titles from the old Nintendo systems that hardcore

156
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: gamers will still you know, triumph to their dying breath.

157
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: It's one of I mean, it was a great game,

158
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: and so I think, uh, I think we're going to

159
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: see that. Okay, then, so that's what I have for Nintendo.

160
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: You want to move on to Sony. Yes, I wanted

161
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: to talk about Sony because if anybody needs a really

162
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: good E three, it's Sony. No joke, you know. I

163
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: I am a we owner, but I do have a

164
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: PlayStation two, which also just went through a price drop

165
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: to uh do just under a hundred dollars um And

166
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people think that E three is when

167
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: Sony has finally got a cave and dropped the price

168
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: of the PlayStation three again. Um, I think that's probably

169
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: a reasonably safe bet. The uh the big news that

170
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: everybody else seems to be really hoping for is the

171
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: announce the new PlayStation portable. Yes, an update to PSP,

172
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: so either either an upgrade or a brand new handheld device,

173
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: maybe the PSP two or a PSP go. I've seen

174
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: it call um yeah there. Apparently there was another device

175
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: that they made called the Milo two. Maybe they're even

176
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: still making it, but it didn't do very well. It's

177
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: basically essentially like an iPod touch. It's got the functionality

178
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 1: you know where it can It can get online and

179
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: do things that way, but it can't go online via

180
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: a cell phone network or bluetooth. So it's really limited

181
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: in its capacity. But it's about the size of a

182
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: PlayStation portable and people are saying maybe some of that

183
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: technology might be baked in to UH to help out

184
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: its online capability. Um. But they say, if there is

185
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: a new PlayStation portable, there won't be a u m

186
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: D involved the Universal Media disc UH. So you wanted

187
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: to deal with that atybity sliver of the electronics store

188
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,359
Speaker 1: that's stocking titles for U, M D S anymore. Um

189
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: So let's see what else can I say about that. Oh,

190
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: they should have eight to sixteen gigabytes of memory if

191
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: it if it actually is announced. Um and there's a

192
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: possibility that Grand Turismo Mobile will finally be released for

193
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: five years, if I'm not mistaken. Almost as long as

194
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: as long as that less than half the r we'll

195
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: get to it. I know, I know. But this new

196
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: PlayStation portable should slide open so that you can get

197
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: to the controls, be very very cell phone like, and

198
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: that might be, uh, you know, a nice sort of

199
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: bridge between the gamer and you know, being able to

200
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: text your friends and do all that kind of stuff. Um.

201
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: And there are new titles coming out Rock Band and

202
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: Soul Caliber and Little Big Planet, Soul Caliber, all those

203
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: for the PlayStation portal. Love that you know. There there's

204
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: those things are while the PlayStation Portable, the new one

205
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: is sort of if he some people really think it's

206
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: gonna come out, and other people think it's gonna be

207
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, I had a few years. Um, you know,

208
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: the the new games, they're definitely gonna be some hot

209
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: new titles announced, and Sony says that they've got fifty

210
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: percent or more of their catalog for the year that

211
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: they still haven't announced what it is yet. Cool, so

212
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: they you know, they're hoping for the big, big news.

213
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that I'm going spending a lot

214
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: of time with Sony while I'm up there. Um, what

215
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: about Home? Do you think we're gonna see some new

216
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: Home stuff? Home? I haven't heard anything about Home and

217
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: so long it's in beta, the Nerd beta in December. Um.

218
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: But Home goes in and it doesn't come out. Maybe

219
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: it will be the Google of of the console world,

220
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: where everything Google puts out is in beta perpetually. I

221
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: think we'll probably hear something or about Home, maybe some

222
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: some new features that that they're going to incorporate into

223
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: it or or expand homes usefulness. Um, which you could

224
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: argue doesn't even exist yet since it's still in beta

225
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: and you hardly hear anything about it. And this was,

226
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: of course something that's been in development for years and

227
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: years and um, and so you know, some people question

228
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: whether or not it'll ever really hit the public. Yeah,

229
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: whether or not there will be a release candidate for Home,

230
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: but I think we'll see something about that. UM and

231
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: also Sony recently, I don't know if you know this

232
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: has been showcasing some three D compatible games. That's true.

233
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: I've heard that the there's a possibility that the first

234
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: three D games are going to be announced to E three.

235
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise that sort of seems like it's a

236
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: middling that, like people aren't wouldn't be surprised, but they

237
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: are really not counting on it either. I I actually,

238
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: you know what, considering what I saw at CES this year,

239
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: where I saw all that three D technology and the

240
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: huge this this on three D, including within the Sony booth,

241
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: I will go on record and say I will be

242
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: shocked if I do not see at least ah a

243
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: sizeable three D presence there. I mean, I'm I'm thinking

244
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: that now is the time when they're going to try

245
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: and jump on that, because uh, you know, the buzz

246
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: at c ES was so big about the three D stuff,

247
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: but you know it's it's like one of those cool

248
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: technologies you hear about, but you know, you you actually questioned, like,

249
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: are we ever going to see this? They need to

250
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: strike now before people forget about it entirely and just say, oh,

251
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: well that was a cool idea, but nothing ever came

252
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: of it. Well, the uh, the PlayStation is a very

253
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: advanced machine graphically speaking, and it really does work better

254
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: on high definition sets than it does on standard definition,

255
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: so it makes sense that they would try to grab

256
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: that market. Um, so well, let's see what you know,

257
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: We'll see what they do. Well. I also think we're

258
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: gonna see some more stuff of God of War, that's

259
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: one of the more popular titles, Ratchet and Clank. I

260
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see something about that Final Fantasy thirteen,

261
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: which I think we'll also see for Microsoft. But um,

262
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: uh and uh, and grant Theresono five, which we've been

263
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: waiting for for a while for PS three. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

264
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: I think we're going to see more about all of that. Um,

265
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: do you have anything else about Sony? I don't have

266
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: any more son You wanted to move on to the Xbox? Sure, Yeah,

267
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: they've I've heard that Microsoft is has some big stuff

268
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: planned and they really haven't said much more than that. Yeah.

269
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: I know that Rare is going to announce a new game.

270
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what it's going to be yet, but

271
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: I do know also that Rare was behind the design

272
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: for the avatars on the Xbox three. Sixty, but very

273
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: much like Sony Home right or the Knees on the Wii. UM,

274
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: So here's a guess. Since they're behind the avatar stuff,

275
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: and because you know, the whole social net working thing

276
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: is still huge, I'm guessing that the game they announced

277
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: is somehow going to relate back to the avatars. So

278
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: it'll probably be I'm guessing some sort of party game,

279
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe something that's family friendly, a lot of

280
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: people can play all at once, and you can maybe

281
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: even play against other people who are networked to you

282
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: on the internet, and then UM uses your avatars as

283
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: your character. I'm guessing that's just a wild guess. I mean,

284
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: they could come out and have something totally different, has

285
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: nothing to do with avatars whatsoever. But based upon their

286
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: involvement in the avatar project, I'm I'm going with that,

287
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: you know what, I would agree with you, and I

288
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: think that some of the information that I pulled up

289
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: UM sort of suggests that that might be a direction

290
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: that they might be actually thinking about Nintendo more than

291
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: they are about Sony, because in my home is still

292
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: not out well. But you know, the Xbox three sixty,

293
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is more of a hardcore gamer console

294
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: than it is a family friendly console. Not that there

295
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: aren't family friendly titles out there, but I mean there

296
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: are not lots of Eva Pinatas on their on their list.

297
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: But I hear that they might just be coming out

298
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: with a motion controller. Oh yeah, well, I mean there

299
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: have been talks about Xbox and the motion controller because uh,

300
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: they were already um accusations that they were essentially copying

301
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: Nintendo with the remote functionality. But yeah, I think, um yeah,

302
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: if they if they're going to unveil it, it's going

303
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: to be at this E three. Well the thing is

304
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: they've they've actually licensed some of the technology already, so

305
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be much of a stretch. And rumor has

306
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: it that, uh, you know, part of the reason that

307
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: Bungee was unhappy with Microsoft is that they want Microsoft

308
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: wanted Bungee to put in some um remote functionality for

309
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: Halo three, and they balked at that idea. Yeah, so

310
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: they you know, it sounds like they're gonna do it.

311
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of when and how. So you know,

312
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: that would add some serious functionality to the Xbox three

313
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: sixty because you'd think, well, you know, there are plenty

314
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: of them on store shelves. They haven't really changed in

315
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: technology for a long time. You know, what else can

316
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: they do with the machine? This would this would add

317
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: something to it, maybe give people reason to buy the

318
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: console again. So do you since you mentioned Halo, yes,

319
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: you think there's gonna be any word about the Halo four. Well,

320
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: I don't know about Halo four, but there is an

321
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: add on pack, understand um. And I'm not much of

322
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: a Halo nut, but I you know, I was actually

323
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: surprised to see that Bungee was working on it. Why

324
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: are you sided with the Covenant? Um? Well, I think

325
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: I think any mention of Halo four. First of all,

326
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: I think if there is mention of Halo four, it's

327
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: first of all, you gotta understand it's not necessarily Bungee

328
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: that would be doing it, because now they've parted ways

329
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: with Bungee, Bungee can do other things, right, And and

330
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: I think Microsoft bought the rights to the Halo stuff.

331
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: I know that there are other developers who are creating

332
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: Halo games. So there's still the chance that we'll see

333
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: something about a Halo four. Um. I haven't heard any

334
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: rumors about that one way or the other. I would

335
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: think that, um, if there is a project, we will

336
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: hear about a D three because Halo is one of

337
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: those big name titles that always gets lots and lots

338
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: of attention, and of course that's the whole reason to

339
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: attend E three in the first places. You want to

340
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: get lots and lots of attention, right, So if they

341
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: have anything, I guarantee you we'll see it at E three.

342
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: I think if anybody's gonna stand out this year, uh, sorry, Sony,

343
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Microsoft. Because I was reading a quote

344
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: from Don Mattrick, who's the Microsoft Senior VP for Interactive

345
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: Entertainment Business UM, and he said that they're gonna kick

346
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: kick off E three with in blockbuster style. They actually

347
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: had their their big announcements scheduled for June one instead

348
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: of June two, And I think I think they're gonna lead.

349
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna take the lead then and just never look back,

350
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: because I think they're gonna have some big announcements. And

351
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: they said that they're not even going to shy away

352
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: from making some future prognostication, if you will. They're not

353
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: just going to keep it the stuff that's coming out

354
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: this year, which means I think that you may hear

355
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: something about the next generation Xbox at this point. So

356
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: you're thinking seven twenty, yeah, or possibly well, No, I

357
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: don't think this is the year for that, you do.

358
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: I think that they'll even say that they're going to

359
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: have something. No, I don't think so. So we'll see,

360
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: well and uh, and I'll blog about it, and if

361
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: it happens, I'll lie, And if it doesn't happen, I'll

362
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: champion the fact that I got it right. No, No,

363
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: I will come clean if if I am wrong, I will,

364
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: I will definitely admit it. Um. I think we're gonna

365
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: see some interesting titles from them. I think we'll we'll

366
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: hear about a metal Gear Gear Solid title from Microsoft.

367
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: That's that's a biggie, you know. Any time you're going

368
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: to talk about game titles that traditionally belong to a

369
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: different system, Um, that's always gonna be a big thing.

370
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: Which is why I think the Final Fantasy thirteen, I mean,

371
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: Microsoft is gonna have to make a big deal of

372
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: that too. I've heard have you heard about the game

373
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: Alan Wake, I've heard a little bit about it to

374
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: show it off. Yeah, I can't wait to see that action.

375
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: I've seen the previews and it looks really interesting. It's

376
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: a psychological action thriller. And you play the part of

377
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: a writer who goes to this little town and then

378
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: things he's written a thriller novel that he has no

379
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: memory of, and then he sees, uh, events unfold that

380
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: happened in the novel. So it's as if he's somehow

381
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: predicted what's happening right then and there, and yet he

382
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: can't remember writing the book in the first place. And uh,

383
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: it looks pretty intense. I'm looking forward to that, and

384
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm thinking there might be another splinter Cell uh game

385
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: shown off there. I'm a big splinter Cell fan. I

386
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: haven't played the last one, but now I've always enjoyed

387
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: those games. Um, I'm not I'm not terribly skilled, but uh,

388
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: I do enjoy playing them. Um, let's see what else, Um,

389
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: Gears of War three, maybe, I mean it's a little soon.

390
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: Gears of War two has not been out that long.

391
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: But then so you've got you know, you gotta weigh it,

392
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: like does it steal any thunder to announce it early?

393
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: Or will it coast on the popularity of the Gears

394
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: War two? And then just help them propel that forward,

395
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: keep the momentum going. I don't know. Um, we'll probably

396
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,239
Speaker 1: see something, maybe a teaser. Uh. I think that's all

397
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: I have for Microsoft. Do you have anything else for Microsoft?

398
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: Not for Microsoft. There are some other companies, of course,

399
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: going to be there, like Developers who had been shying

400
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: away from E three for the last couple of years. Um.

401
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: Its Software is going to be there, even though they're

402
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: no longer part of the association. They're going to be

403
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: showing off Wolfenstein, which is kind of interesting one of

404
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: my favorite games back in the old the old Wolfenstein

405
00:21:55,320 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: three D game, the original one, not the remake they did. Yeah,

406
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: and uh, but there's still some big names who aren't

407
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: going to be there, like nc soft, the massively multiplayer

408
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: online game Giant and uh. Sadly Midway had to pull out,

409
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: also went bankrupt because they don't have the money to go,

410
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: I guess. And that's that's sad. You know, they've over

411
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: the years had some awesome stuff. Well, but they can't

412
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: show up. But I tell you who will show up.

413
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: And I think this is a segue into our next point.

414
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: Saga is going to be there. Oh man, I didn't

415
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: even think about that. That's a good point. Yeah, okay,

416
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: So we wanted to talk a little bit about things

417
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: that may not happen, but we hope happen, not just

418
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: these aren't really so much predictions as they are wishful thinking. Yep,

419
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: So go ahead drop one on me. I'm thinking that's

420
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 1: the saga. One. Yeah, one. And you know what, the

421
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: reason I hold out hope for this UM is in

422
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: that other people talk about it all the time. Sega

423
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: still has tons of fans who would like them to

424
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: get back into the console business, and they've had some

425
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: pretty successful games for the Wei UM, you know, in

426
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: their partnership with Nintendo, and I would like them to

427
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: come out with a brand new console and get back

428
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: into the competition. I mean, Sony's down, so you know

429
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 1: they could they could possibly take a shot at their

430
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: old rival. And uh, you know, I don't know if

431
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: they would still be able to do that and create

432
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: games with the other consoles UM, but you never know.

433
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: I don't know that you could completely count it out.

434
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: Of course, now may not be the best time with

435
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: the financial market being right, but I'd like to see it.

436
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: Let's say that, um, are we just gonna let ourselves

437
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: to one or do you have more? Um, I came

438
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: up with another one as we were talking to go ahead.

439
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Wii, you know what I'd like to see,

440
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: what's a wireless nunchuck. That's a good point, but I

441
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: like the you know, the two handed games, but you

442
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: have that tether in between them and it's kind of

443
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: easy to get hung up on. So it would be

444
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,239
Speaker 1: nice to see a wireless time chock. I don't think

445
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna say anything about, at least not anytime soon. Well,

446
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: it would be nice for me. The one thing I

447
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: would love to see that I know is not going

448
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: to happen, but I would love to see it. Monkey

449
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: Island five please, LucasArts please, or Grim Fandango to either

450
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: one of those. Actually, both of the Grim Fandango game

451
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: and the Monkey Island games were some of my favorite

452
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: adventure games. No adventure games in general have really kind

453
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: of tanked. They just don't really there aren't that many left.

454
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: You don't see its coming out with tomb Rat Actually

455
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: there are. There's a new tomb Rater game being Yes,

456
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: it's an adventure game, but it's an adventure it's not.
