This episode of Geekscape was filmed in front of a live studio audience in Las Vegas. Here's Johnny. Thanks guys. This is Geekscape. It's a podcast that you can find a geekscape.net. And Stage 6 and it covers movies, video games and comics for the next 45 minutes. We're gonna be talking about the latest news and reviews. How many of you guys go to see movies? One. One person. Two, wait. How many of you guys read Hollywood's in trouble? Hollywood's in trouble. Hollywood is in trouble. How many of you people download movies? Yeah, we get a couple of more hands. That's the difference between going to like a movie convention and like a tech convention. The movie convention, everybody's excited to go see it in the theater at a tech convention. Everybody's like, I'm stealing it. That's right. And I'm going to use divics to do it. I'm kidding. No, yes. No, no, never. They want to watch it where they want to watch it. Yes. So, um, he's on brand message. Go ahead and introduce you guys. These are my guests for the week. All right. Guests for the week. We are from Divix. I am Ben Cote. And I am Matzog. And you guys last name. No last name. We went to see a movie. Last night. Children of Man. It's the new film from Alfonso Coron. He directed like the third Harry Potter and Corona's. Didn't you know that? You're thinking, no, not beneath you. Yes. The other del Toro. I'm sorry. Yeah, that's right. No, you're right. And real quickly, we're just going to say what we thought of the film. This is a movie where Clive Owen takes place in 20, 20, 20, 37, and everybody stopped having kids. And the last the youngest person on the earth is 18. They've just died and it's sort of a dystopian future and Clive Owen gets stuck with having to his charges to deliver so pregnant woman, you know, to freedom. Yes, right. And takes place in England. It's got who else is in this movie? Michael Kane. Julian Moore. Michael Zade. And what do you guys think? I dug it. I really liked it. It was. It was for sci-fi. I love when the movies are real and believable and this was totally that way like it is in the future, but they didn't explain enough of the future to where you're sucked in because you had to figure it out and you never departed from that. So it's like you're trying to figure out stuff with that. It's going on because they kind of hinted at, you know, there's no kids anymore. No one's having kids, but you don't know exactly why. And it's not all futuristic and weird sci-fi. It's like totally real. Right. It's not Blade Runner. It's believable. It's totally drama. Yeah. Like you can you can you can see how the world would end up this way. We lost hope. Totally. You know, ironically, it's being compared to it's being called like a Blade Runner for this decade. Right. Which I can see because it's got that dystopian aspect to a future that is on the believable side while not being immediately recognizable, but I liked it a lot as well. Why did you guys come on? Let's get into specifics. What are the some of the reasons to go see this movie beyond just the style? It was thoroughly brutal, like not in a violent way, but rather the storytelling was it didn't hold back. It ramped up slowly and then went hard and fast. Yeah, because this is on a lot of best of lists at the end of the year, you know, and I've seen the movie twice. And one of the things that a lot of people love about this movie is the documentary style that he uses, but what's impressive technically is that he does these shots where there's a million stunts in them explosions and they're 10 minute shots. I fully like was blown away in the middle or like towards the end when they're running up the stairs. You know, it's not ruined anything for anybody, but it's like a 10 minute shot. Right. It's insane and it's a shot with tanks. It's a shot with people getting shot. So you have to have like this like the special effects, you know, a ton of stunts and the camera is moving for 10 minutes. It's not like a static. You don't want to be the guy who messes up that shot. No, you know, you don't want to be the guy on set who like walks out the middle of the shot with like a donut. You know, like right in the middle of it or you don't pull focus and everything is blurry. You know, you don't want to be that guy. You forget your line. Can we go back to the beginning? You know, 10 minutes ago, let's just do that again. Let's just bring the tanks back and do it all over again. That that is one of the things that I liked about the movie and they do it in a way that isn't distracted. I see someone directors and they do long shots and it kind of turns into a gimmick and you stop thinking about the characters you start thinking about the director. You know, the director becomes really present. Oh, yeah. Well, I an agreement with what you're saying. I didn't notice the length of the shots. They didn't seem forced. They didn't seem unnatural. I noticed it because I'm a film geek. So yeah, I do into film school. I we always films for ourselves. No, totally. I mean, but it when I noticed it, it's like sucked me in that more because I noticed it like five minutes or seven minutes into that 10 minute shot. I'm like, there hasn't been a cut in like the law. I'm thinking back to like all the stuff that just happened that I'm like, oh my gosh. And I was like so much like it was such an intense scene. I mean, you could not get out of it. Right. I mean, it's an incredible. It's a technically incredible movie. What go for it? Visually, I would I would compare it a lot to end up storytelling wise. It reminded me very much of the Battlestar Galactica series that's on right now. Oh, dude, you guys are going to. I haven't seen it. Oh, really? Oh, we've exceeded your geek quota in a realm. We shamed him on his own program. That's terrible. We're going to have to ask you to leave the stage. You guys should strip me of all my geek points. That's one of the biggest embarrassments to me doing this show is that I haven't seen the new Battlestar Galactica series because I'm one of those dudes who needs to collect the one DVD. I can't wait to week to week. I'm doing it for heroes because I got like I'm on the ground floor, but by the time I find out find out something's cool. It's already like three episodes in and I'm just like away for DVD. Yeah, I'm the same way. I the whole first season of The Lost, even though it's kind of that show I have to watch because it makes me angry. It's like the news, but I got the DVDs. I rented them and Netflix and I had to watch them beginning to end, but from week to week with many gaps to the season. Can't do it. It's infuriating. Right. But watching them one to like when you have the DVDs you lose weekends of time because you can't stop watching it because you get to the end and you're like, oh my God. You know, like, okay, one more. It's only four in the morning. I can't. It's like having a book though. I mean, it's having that DVD in front of you on your shelf. You pull it down, you open it up. It's like I've read books the same way or I've consumed a whole book in a weekend. I like how that's the excuse for coming down in America. It's like books. Who needs books now? We got DVDs and lots of DVDs in them, right? I started thinking about watching the film for like the second time. There are a lot of movies that it reminded me of, but they're older films. There's a lot of stuff that happens in the woods and children that remind me of the end of the conformist when they stab the professor. Have you guys seen this film? It's a Italian movie, the conformist? No, you had to have seen it in film school. I probably did, but you know, you've seen a lot of it. It reminded me of like the Italian, a lot of Italian movies, a lot of Italian aerialism, like rum open city, the way that they were just shooting films among rubble, you know, but but the brutality of the storytelling where you think you have the beginnings of a love story and then like one bullet changes everything, you know, or a million movies, you know, it reminds me of the French New Wave type stuff, like breathless, you know, where you're just watching people talk and they're not talking about plot, they're talking about each other, you know, and I think that's like, that's what gives it the good sci-fi as opposed to the bad sci-fi. Well, the sci-fi moniker through your general audience, I think it turns off a lot of people. This is, it doesn't come across as sci-fi. There's no large spaceships. There's no, it's like a speculation on the near future. You can climb Owen's dreamy. Yeah, oh, well, Clive Owen helps. I could eat him up with a spoon, where he a food object. Or if you like-- It's a marketing idea. You can, you can make Clive Owen pudding. Would you buy that? I think he has to make that himself. Wait, what just happened? I like these. These are new. We don't have these on my set. These are fun. I like these. Oh, Donna. I can't whisper with it. I want a direct traffic. Can't whisper with a microphone. Stupid cast. Movie news. We're talking about TV. You're going to like this. ABC, "Greenlit," "The Bionic Woman." A brand new series based on "The Bionic Woman." A series, like mini series or series series? "The Greenlit," "The Bionic Woman." And another series based on "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." Did you see I see that movie? I did. I wasn't-- I didn't see it, you know? Because I'm also sick of them by the time the movie came out. It's them being pretty with guns. Yeah, that's the tagline. Pretty with guns. Pretty with guns. And now you make a series out of it. Yeah, you get pretty-- I mean, Alias, you get pretty people and you give them guns. "The Bionic Woman." "Guns and Wigs." Yeah, "Wigs." "Wigs." Well, Alias. I've only seen like four episodes. And there's always a scene with Jennifer Garner walking into a party very slowly. It's a whole spy genre. Yeah, you get to dress up hot chicks in different outfits. And it works to the plot of-- What do you guys watch? Like, you guys watch TV religiously or no? Not a lot. Heroes lost. Veronica Mars. Veronica Mars, people say that's like the best show on TV. Is it true? I know you're not watching it. What's your name? Kevin, can you grab that microphone? Here, come up here. Can we hear you sit next to me? Yeah, there you go. Come here, Kevin. Well, I'll go sit next to me. I'll go on. Can you tell us about Veronica Mars? Because I thought it was just like Nancy Drew or something. Let's see. Are we on? Book it mad. Book it mad with us. Sound guy, come on. We're good? Are we good with Kevin? This is Kevin. He was walking around, and he opened his mouth. Flip the switch again. It says it's on. There we go. This camera, I'm in the middle of the second season on DVD. I haven't finished it. Veronica dies at the end of that one. Oh, shut up. Sorry to ruin it for you. I thought you should bring her back in the third one. It is, by far, the best show on television. It's got a lot of aspects of Spunky and those kinds of things, kind of the whole aspect they don't know how to describe it, but it has a big arc just like they always did. And then it has multiple episodes in that arc, but then it's got, you know, one off. Have you seen the episode of The Johnson Way in it yet? I have seen the episode of The Johnson Way. I was rolling on the floor and laughing. It was so funny. I think that's called R-O-T-F-L. Yes. Is that right? Sure. I just see a raffle. Oh, that's the raffle. I don't like the hamburger. It's great. The jokes and the hidden things in the show are just like filled with them. You can watch this. You can watch this too. Yeah. I got hooked on it. The CEO of Divix is friends, or no, it was former student, former student of the creator of the show. Rob Thomas. Yes. Rob Thomas. So they know each other and they talk all the time. So he got me hooked on it. He's like, "You gotta watch this. You gotta watch this." And then we interviewed Rob Thomas at Comic Con this last year. So we got to go to the set because they filmed down. They filmed down San Diego. They actually filmed at our building at Divix, like in our parking lot. So we see them like all the -- and they filmed at my wife's school. They filmed at SESU and they used to film at the high school by my house. I see them just all the time down there doing stuff. So I never watched it. And then he's like, "You have to watch it." He's like, "But you have to watch the whole thing in an entire weekend." He's like, "That's the only way to watch it." So I got the series and I seriously burned through the whole first series and a Saturday and a Sunday. And you can't put it down. And then I got my wife hooked on it. She's like, "You're going to watch that crap like the first episode then." She said that. Sorry Rob. Sorry. She's hooked. Yeah. Do you guys have kids? She was assuming things that were not true. That's the thing. I mean, once you watch it, you're just like, you're hooked instantly. I have yet to meet a person I have not been able to hook on the show. And I'm not even through the show. We kind of scared about it. It's like heroin. Well it is. Or a request. Yes. The first one's free. You know? Yeah. So they're all free. They're televised. What? They're all free. They're televised. Right. They're almost free. It's almost free. So what else do you listen to? Now that you're our homie now. What else? This is your show now. Okay. That's fine. No, it's fine. What? He's done a better job. Sit down, Matt. So what else is like a real geek and I see that it's brother way ahead. No, it's like, you know. It's our work. We're taking it back. Like what's some of the stuff you're into? I haven't gotten around to Heroes yet. I've heard nothing but good things about Heroes. I've been wanting to see that. And I haven't gotten around to Bowsar Galactica. Take that. You know, I turned out to watch things on TV. I turned out to watch it on DVD. Buffy Angel, Firefly, Firefly. I have the shirt on. Did you know that? Oh, your brown coat. Brown coat. Do you got the real shirt? We're all brown coats here. He's an early adopter. Yes. You know, they're doing more comics. Right. Really. Outside of it. If you guys don't know, it's Serenity, Firefly, the Joss Whedon stuff, whether in space. They canceled it. They made a movie. They made some comics. They're making more comics. I'm excited. Is it going to be Cannical, though? Oh, yeah, Cannen, buddy. It takes place. By the way, those are not necessarily nerds. In Cannen means actually occurring within the universe and can be taken as true events within the realm, that universe. You're good. Cannen. Yeah. I like it. I think it's the Bible. Something like that? He's the dictionary over here. Do you cram it? Yeah, I'll say just makes up words, so. I'm going to work on Mars. I'm going to work on Mars. I've got to watch that. Yes. Battlestar, I know. I've heard it before. Yes. What else would you put on, like, my... Battle on five. Battle on five. That's old. I mean, it's not apparently. I know it's early. I'm with you on the Babylon Five. Well, I just got to remember watching it recently, because I have to see things from the beginning in order. No skips, no reading. They're making some new Babylon Five DVDs apparently. It's in editing right now. Yeah. I will be first in line to buy this. Wait, what are they doing? Some new Babylon Five movies on DVD. There. Two new movies. Direct to DVD July is the release date, supposedly. You guys sell me on Babylon Five, because I was like, "Oh, it's the Star Trek." Are you a huge effects nerd? You have to have good effects? No, I'm one of those people who didn't mind. Like, when the big complaint about the movie is the effects, it doesn't bother me. Like, if the story stinks, the effects don't matter. The effects, while they were great for their time, and they got better over the length of the series, it's a little tough to watch. It's dated now. Especially, yeah. They did it on Amiga computers, if you can imagine it. Really? I played a little game called Elf where you throw berries at people. It's really good. I would still play it if I could. You ever had the game where the babies fall out of the window, and you're too firemen holding a net? You have to? Yes. I don't think that was a game for you. That was real life. I was just trying to save your little sister. Come on. Thanks, Kevin. That was an awesome recommendation. You Babylon Five, I had no idea. I think our audience would love to hear about that. Big stories, if you like stories that take place over a long period of time. Parscape. Parscape. I'm the middle of that too right now. Dude, have you started this yet? I watched Parscape when it was on for the first two seasons, and then I didn't have cable for a while because I was poor, and, you know, heat, cable, because Muppets are awesome. Why do people not use Muppets anymore? They get a lot of crap about it from the hardcore sci-fi people. It's like, oh, if I wanted to use Muppets, I'd watch That's Me Street. But it was a decent show. It had quality. And that goes right in there with effects. Muppets, Muppets, Muppets, Muppets, CGI, like it doesn't matter if the script's good, if the story's good. Right. You know what I mean? It doesn't matter. This is a good one. Dude, the New Dark Crystal is coming. What? The New Dark Crystal. I'm so ready for it. I saw a movie of the old Dark Crystal, and at 30 I was reduced to a quivering heap when I saw Strixies because I had this. Not just this Dixies, but when they take the podlings and they suck them full of their energy to power it. Oh, dude. That brings me out. I don't ever want that to happen with me. I don't ever want evil bird creatures to suck my energy out, to make themselves younger. If that happens, that's a bad day. I'll pry folk. It would be. It would be. You know what that experience has going forward though? Novelty. Why? Yeah. How often does that happen? That's a story you can sit around talking about that for days. Get somebody to shoot a video of it. It's on your V-blog. That's an episode of your show at DIVX. Exactly. Put it on DIVX. It's on stage six. Dude, that's a nice shirt. Where'd you get that? I ordered it online. Yeah, there was a website and if you're hooked up, like we were, you could order your shirt early on. I don't think you can get that. Is that limited? I think it is worth it. I hate you in everything you represent. Gee, thanks. I appreciate that. No. So speaking of like the kind of sci-fi movie type stuff, this movie called Stardust is coming out this summer. Have you guys heard about it? Stardust. You guys know Neil Gaiman, right? Yeah. Charles Vest. They did this book. Have you guys familiar with it? It's kind of painted. Charles Vest does this really amazing painted artwork and Matthew Vaughn, the dude who was supposed to do X3, who did Layer Cake, is directing a movie called Stardust and the news is that Ian McKellen just signed up to do the narrator voice. That was a fun book. I really enjoyed it. What was it? Like I never read it. Now, see, my problem is I read both Neverware and Stardust in a very short period. What's in their mind? It's a previous Neil Gaiman book. That also was very good. I read them back to back, so I kind of mixed up the stories, but there's a certain modern day fairy land sort of touch to Stardust, which is actually quite satisfying. What's now with Stardust? Stardust. I mean, can you explain the story to us? No, I forgot. I liked it a lot though. It was excellent. No, it's like a through-the-looking glass kind of gets... There are people and they do things. It's like, are there elves in it? There may be. I'll see it if there are elves. I'll tell you. What? Put an elf on a poster and you're in there. This guy's hooked on Keeler commercials, like a son of a... I don't want to talk about it. You know? I don't want to talk about it. My parents looked for me forever, and I was always hiding in trees when I was a kid. Why? You're a fairy elf. You're a fairy elf. But a fail file. Remember Gummy Bears? Of course. Dude. Okay. Okay. Here's the question for all you geeks out there. What was a better '80s cartoon theme song? Gummy Bears or DuckTales? DuckTales. DuckTales. How? I'm going to go with Gummy Bears. I'm going to go with Gummy Bears. Now who can sing it? I can sing. Okay. Go ahead. Oh, thank you. Which one? DuckTales. DuckTales. Go for it. Gummy Bears. Go for it. Gummy Bears. Bouncing here and there and everywhere. High Adventure. That's beyond compare. They are the Gummy Bears. They are the Gummy Bears. This is the future of America. Yup. You know that, right? Yeah. We are going to take over. This is how children and men happens. People don't want to have sex with us. Oh, I'm sterile. Wait. What? Oh. We went to a support group together. I thought he was on the sterile boat with me. I was just holding your hand, buddy. That's like a MOS. I'm not necessarily pregnant, but I'm there for you. You know? Poor old support. Pregnant with support. Pregnant with love. That brings us back to the children of men. And so the circle completes itself. Hey, what's up, guys? We're here at CES in Vegas, and we're going to bring you some of the stuff that maybe isn't covered in other shows because I don't really care about brand new monitors or computers or cell phones. I like to look at stuff like this. We are here with Norm. Norm, what do you got for us and who are you representing here at CES? Well, this is Nico Home Electronics. Nico is part of Nico Company Japan. Would you probably, have you ever owned any RC toys? Yeah, when I was a kid, like the remote control cars and things like that? It's our parent company. Nico made 12 million RC remote control toys last year. A rector is also part of our family. Nico Home Electronics, part of Nico Japan, we're launching a new division for consumer electronics. And, you know, we were sitting around thinking about all this and saying, you know, consumer electronics industry does not need another iPod accessory company. So, true to Nico's heritage, we're 50 years old this year. We decided to come into the business and create some interesting unique products. Let me introduce you to your best friend. Soon to be R2D2. Yes, this is a droid, but what's different about our little droid is our little droid full functioned droid, but it's also a video projector. As you can see what he's doing now, he will lay down so kids can project their video games, their DVDs, their CDs, their MP4, let's say they just recorded some cool TV show or cartoon show on an SD card. So, okay, oh, notice it's lit up, so when the room's too dark, it's okay, no problem. You can stick your SD card, your USB card, your compact flash or MS, all of the solid state cards you can stick in there and watch it. Because this is a full projector. It's infrared remote, so you've got to point the remote at it. It has component video in, component video out, it has S video in, so what can you plug into it? Cable TV, video game, you can plug anything that has an audio output into R2 and he will project it for you on a ceiling or on a wall, up to 80 inches diagonal. The full function remote allows you to access all of the CD player, the DVD player. Did I mention iPod? Oh, yeah, this is a full video pod projector. Any of your iPods will fit in that, any of your video iPods, and you'll be able to project your video, your MP4 video, your TV show, whatever you've recorded. And you have complete control of your video iPod from the remote, so you can scan, you can change menus, you can change accessories. This is a 10 appliances in one, it's a DVD projector, a CD player, it's a video projector for games, it's a video projector for cable TV, it's a video projector for digital audio, it's a video projector for digital pictures from your camera. In the back you have a computer connection, you can port right off your computer, right into the back of R2, and whatever you've got that you've created on your computer, you can look at it on the wall or on the ceiling. It's good in any room in the house, including the bathroom. You can take R2 Jr. we call it, put it on a shelf, let him sit there, and while you're at college, if you want to see your roommates drinking your beer, this one's cool man, because you can put him on top of the refrigerator, he'll wait there, and you can videotape your friends coming in and taking your beer, so now you know who the heck's taking your beer or your high seat. So, I'll leave any other creative ideas up to you guys what you can do with a fully remote control. You can control this from a remote location, this is a full function lightsaber, it's a skype phone, you have 2x zoom on R2, you have full function, fast speed slow speed, and 12 sound effects and voices, so that you can also, the base station that's lit up here, this is the transmitter, this is your base station for R2, so they talk to each other. Spike is the first robot to build up, it's controlled by your computer, so a Wi-Fi connection, and through the MMI the machine may interface. Spike is equipped with a webcam, with a microphone, with a load speaker, with 2 motors, so Spike is a spy, you can see, you can listen, you can talk, you can communicate. Francois is a Frenchman and he's talking to us about spybots, how cool is this? You can control your Spike from the MMI, I take control on it, you can take pictures, you can make films, you can make video surveillance, for example, if somebody is at home, when Spike sees somebody, he sends you an alarm or he sends you an email, he sends you a picture of the guys at home, thanks to an email. You can use it as a VIP phone, through MSN for example, look at this, look at this VJ, that's crazy. Can you put little lasers on them, you control your Spike in local mode, but from anywhere in the world, for example if your Spike is in Hong Kong, you go to the SpikeWorld.com and you can control your Spike from anywhere in the world. On the last point is when the battery is weak, the Spike goes alone to the dog station to be recharged. Are these available now when they come out? June 2007, you guys know what's on my Christmas list next year because this thing is awesome. I may just have an army of these things and just control them all and watch all of you guys. [Music] Hey, what's up guys, I'm here with Frank at Technosonic and he's going to show us something that may be really useful to all your college kids out there. Oh, this is the portable mini washing machines that you can wash, of course wash all your clothes. One day's clothing, you can wash it in 15 minutes. Apart from washing clothes, you can also wash your sneakers, running shoes, vegetables, fruits, everything in it. And it's portable and I could show you how this is the base and this is the bucket. And then after washing, you can put the base inside the bucket for storage. It's totally portable. It had a water fuel pipe and also the discharge as well. So this is right now currently setting at Sears for $79.95. You can get that at Sears. Now, is it safe? You can put your hand in it, it's safe. You can drown somebody in it if they break into your apartment. No, no, no, no. So how would you drain something like this, just pouring out the window or something on somebody walking about? Or you can use this drain here. Just leave it up and then you can drain this out, but not here. Now, how many college kids do you think are going to buy this? And for maybe the first month or two, they're going to be doing their laundry in it. But then after a while, they're going to start mixing their drinks for the party in it. How is it as a drink mixer? Well, it could be a cocktail mixer. Just keep it turning, keep it turning and as long as it's non-alcohol. As long as it's non-alcoholic, Frank says, but you can drink it out of this drain right here. Just be worried, it may start tasting like detergent or your clothes may start smelling like your favorite mixed drink, right? What is your favorite mixed drink, Frank? Mixed drink? Wow, martini? It's a classy man, guys. We're all classy here on GeekScape. Thank you so much for showing us this portable washer. You guys in college, I think it's pretty invaluable. I wish I had it in college. What a save me a lot of quarters. This is a, what we call a, a fripper speakers. So you can, you can stand on your desk like this, or you can flip over an exterior sound. You know, how is that as a frisbee? Well, this is not a frisbee, but this is just a fripper. We call this a fripper, but this will, will have a exterior sound and you can stand here on this way. Frank, what if you guys put staplers on the these sides and you could do this? Staple your papers while you're listening to stuff. What do you think? I mean, if you guys are hiring, think about it. A stapler and a speaker in one. Think about it. Absolutely gorgeous. What are you representing here at CS? Okay, I'm here with my view. This is a personal media viewer. And what this is, is you put this on and you can, it connects to your apple iPod. And what you do is watch a video. What you're going to do today is watch a music video. So people could probably watch this show on their, okay, cool. So you can, you can shut your family out entirely. And once you have these on, you put the ear pieces in and you're watching, what you're doing is watching, whatever it is you're watching today, we have a music video from six feet away. It appears six feet away on a large screen television. And try it on for me. I'm going to try this. Okay, you can see up above and below and on the sides for safety. So this is great if you're like walking in the park or on an airplane and you want to see what else is going on around you. I feel like the guy from Star Trek, you know what I mean? Can you guys make these where they shoot lasers? Like, let's say your mom is bothering you and you're watching a music video and you're just like, shut up and you just maybe like take a leg off or something like that. Um, that could possibly happen. Doubt it though. I want you to get right here. I want you to get down here. You can put the wall anywhere. It is very neat. Are these things in storage right now? They are. You can purchase them online at MyView.com and it's $2.99. And like I said, you can only purchase it online at MyView.com. Hey guys, what I found? It's a virtual horse called the Giddyup. I'm going to try it out. And basically it's supposed to be a workout machine, but we all know why huge ladies are going to buy one of these. Okay, I'm going to start it off here. I'm going to make it a little faster, make it like a horse. I need a hat. That's what I need. Anybody who has a cowboy hat, help me out, or maybe a lasso. This thing is actually really cranking. I can feel it working my legs. So pretty soon I'll be just like John Claude Van Dam, my hero. Be able to kick people. Some really strong core moves. Straight from the waist. This thing will buck me off if I'm not careful. How old could that girl possibly be? ♪ The one I love ♪ ♪ Little girls, they make me feel so good ♪ ♪ I love them ♪ ♪ Little girls, they make me feel so bad ♪ ♪ When they're around they make me feel like ♪ What are some of the ladies that you love that just came out? I don't go see movies very often. Really? Are you the 911 dude? No, I want to be a TV producer. So I mainly focus on TV. But I don't go to theaters. I buy on DVD. And I haven't gone around in many movies. I've been wanting to see children, man. I was going to go see it a couple of days ago. And my uncle didn't want to go. He has a car, so. Oh, really? Did you live with your uncle? No, no, no. I flew in from Memphis. Wow. I come in every year for the show. Is it weird staying with your uncle? Yes. Why? Because he talks to himself. He could be watching this right now on Harvard. He doesn't have internet access. There's no way. He's on this. He's watching me. He lives in a cave. His name is Last Words. He's 56. He talks to himself or does he talk to the vehicle? I'm sorry. It's the desert heat. I'll be like waking up. Is it cooling when you talk about this? Yeah. Like, wait. You're from Memphis. Your parents are like, I don't want to deal with you for a couple of days. Go out and stay with your uncle. And he talks to himself. Yeah. Because the thing is, he'll have a conversation. The show's not just about movies, video games and comics. It's about life. It's about the fact that we walk together. Is that okay? We have some pamphlets on Scientology later. I'm kidding. Oh, no. They're not the Scientologists. They have a booth down there. Do they? There's a place down town now. They're never going to go. Is the way he talks to him? I hear him in the morning when I'm waking up and he's like, having a conversation with me. I hear the pauses where I'm speaking fairly. Did he lose a wife or something? No, he's never married. Okay. Yeah. That explains it too. There's the other half. Does he get mad at you? When you don't talk back? No. No, he just, I think he's like... He would talk back to you. He would get mad if you did talk back. Yeah. See, he only does it when I'm not, like, he doesn't think I'm around. You know, I'm not in the bathroom or something. I can hear him. He has bad hearings. He speaks pretty loud. So... But then I hear him. When I'm driving the car, he's just like speaking. I hear him giving a Leshkis professor at UNLV. Oh, that's fun. That's fun. They're being taught by Billy Madison. Stop looking at me, Schwann. So I hear him giving lectures on English literature and... He's just preparing. He's having some notes. But he didn't fire. But no, but when he started... Somewhere there's a UNLV student who's like, "Dude, I got this great professor." And he doesn't know any of this is happening. See, all you have to do with him is when you ask a question, you raise your hand and you say nothing. He hears the right answer. Perfect. Exactly. Exactly. Hey, for you, young man. My grandma... I love you. My grandma always called me Mark. My name's Jonathan. I would always tell her... Sorry, grandma. Like, my name's Jonathan. That's nice, Mark. That was always a response. Did you have any other siblings or... I don't know if you're... I don't know. My grandma usually goes through the list. I don't think so. I forget. Like, Stephen, Michael, Ben. Like, she'll get to me eventually. But she'll go through the other ones sometimes first. I'm an only child, my grandma, you know. She gets my name. So that's good. Because your name's Matt Zog. It sounds like a barbarian name. Which is cool. If you're a barbarian. You need to have an axe on your back. Don't make me mess you up with a berserker razor. There you go. You need to be walking around like a morning star. I only have my pocket knife. Close enough. Dude, he busted this pocket knife out in the middle of the restaurant last night. I needed to cut something. I'm like, do they have knives here? He was talking about solving a guy. Your first blood. What are you doing? Hey, hey. You can talk to talk, but I got the knife to do the stabbing with. It probably wasn't a sharp enough knife knife. He was looking at me funny. Oh, I've got two, actually. I wonder why. Well, yeah. Two knives. What is this? What if the first knife breaks? She's leaving. She's terrified. Half the crowd is gone, yeah. They don't want to die. We're talking about comic books last night. Yes. You gave me a list. Yes. Which to me is, how many of you guys read comic books? You read comics? What do you read? Come on up. Come on up. Okay. What do you read if you want to yell it out? What? What would you call it? The old school. I've been telling people in our forums to check out that movie show gun assassin. Did you know about this movie show gun assassin? They made Lone Wolf and Cub movies in Japan. A long time ago, though. Yeah. And some dude was like, oh, those would be perfect for America. Just not that long. So he took the first two movies and cut them all into one movie called Shogun Assassin and basically just the fights. And that's what's so cool about it. I mean, remember in Kill Bill 2 when David Carradine sends a little girl to bed and she goes, "Can I watch Shogun Assassin?" Like it's in the movie. There you go. I went nuts. Cause that and flying guillotine are like my two favorite Kung Fu movies. If you guys know Kung Fu movies, you guys know those two movies. Have you ever seen crippled masters? Don't look. I can't watch crippled masters. It's a little chicken wing. That's great. I don't understand how they made this movie. It's literally two guys who are Kung Fu experts, one without arms and one without legs. He has legs. They're just withered. They're both nubs. And they had this storyline where it's like the emperor didn't trust them. So he had them disfigured. And now they combine for revenge. And literally, we rented it one night because they're doing combo moves. They're like hopping on each other's shoulders because the dude with no legs will hop on the dude with legs and shoulders and he'll be his arms. And it's like one of those big ass transformers, it's like Voltron for Kung Fu. And I'm watching this and it's just making me hurt inside. Does that make sense? No. I won't pull it away. I'll pull you away in here. I'm not used to these mics. I feel like one of those dudes on the airport, we need to get you to these flashlights with orange cones. That's the one guy I wanted to be in the Star Wars movie. You know what I mean? When I heard about the prequels, I was like, I want to be the guy in one of the spaceships who's just on the side of the screen or play like a Tuscan Raider or something. I don't know. I don't know. I'm feeling uncomfortable. Yes, yes, crippled master, if you guys want us, dude, that's random that you brought that up. That's haunting. It's eerie. It's hard to watch. And technically the guy is not complete without arms because he has his little chicken wing. He holds a post-app with the wings. He does and he flips it. Yeah, it's amazing. How do you do that? I would hit myself in the face with it and I have hands. That's true. You know, that takes a, no for real, you've got to rent this movie. And if you're a fan of "Low Wolf of Cub," you would like "Show Gun Assassin" or the "Low Wolf and Cub" movies. It's hard to go hear it's story in "Show Gun Assassin." Yeah, he's got to kill people. It's like Kung Fu, like, you know, you walk the earth and people come after you. I live like that. My camera guy, V.J. lives like that. We were on the way to Vegas and these cops were just coming at him and he's like, they're not real cops. Just grab the wheel and I was like, what? Just start shooting at him. That's my camera guy, V.J., right there. He goes, hey, he goes, hey, when you get the hell, tell the devil to keep my seat warm. And I was like, what? When you hired him, you should have been concerned that he had a turret mounted on his seat. I didn't hire him. I purchased him. Oh, okay. Oh. I made a lot of good friends in Vegas. I like the guys who, I like, yeah, I've only been in Vegas a handful of times, you know, and I like the guys who hand out the nudie picture at cars. The little slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap. I like those guys. These are my homies. Homies. We're out here trying to make some business. Let's get rid of these cars, man. What's that like? What's that like? What's that? I'm going to get a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit. We're in Vegas, so we're getting real decent, right? I know, but we were talking about comics. You were saying, check out Walking Dead. I like how we bring it back to 20 minutes ago. Walking Dead. Walking Dead. Why the last man pre-church? Oh, I mean. Because you got out of comics, and these are bringing you back. Well, I'm not out of comics, but my reading list has diminished over time. But I do watch for the quality stuff. If that's the way to do it, like if you have a girlfriend or you have a friend who's not in the comics, you've got to find something that's close to what they watch film-wise. You know what I mean? That's how you hook them. Because if they walk into a comic store, my girlfriend's like, "Hey, should I just go get a comic, no, no, no, no, no, you won't like that one, you know what I mean?" And you'll read it, and you'll never come back. She was in the Westerns, and she loves horror movies, so I got her in a preacher, which is becoming an HBO series. It is, dude. Do you have any idea who's playing Jesse? I have no idea what Mark Stephen Johnson's writing it, and, dude, Ghost Rider, it's going to kick ass. Well, I've got... I've got... It might. I mean, it might. I'm going to see Ghost Rider opening night. Oh, he has a guest. You have the hatcher's casting agent, all right? You may be familiar with Nathan Filion, the captain of Rennel. Of course. No, I hadn't thought about him. Now, Rennel, to... Dias Hair Black. Michelle, this is for you. Dias Hair Black, and he's Jesse, you give him like a perm or some sort of thing. Who would play Cassidy? I always thought Robert Carlisle would be like a really kick-ass cast. I just think they need to get... See, the thing is he's... Spike for Buffy. Oh, James Marchers. James Marchers. Well, but he's... I don't know. I don't know. Maybe he's type-casting. But the thing about Nathan Filion, he's on Drive, at least till Fox cancels it. What is that? What is Drive? I didn't know he was doing anything. Yeah, no. Drives from Tim Meineer, who was the executive producer. Oh, he was... On Angel. Yeah. And... Firefly as well. Yeah. It's essentially the amazing race with Lost, basically. It's Nathan Filion's character, his wife's been abducted, and he has to go on this cross-country race to save her life. But there's a lot more to it. Oh, that sounds good. Had it started? It's coming up. It comes in March. That sounds good. Yeah. In March? That's like Death Race 2000. Have you ever seen that movie? I know you have. That movie kicks ass. Carodines and that as well. Yeah. Maybe Curity and Plains Dr. Frankenstein and that. Excellent. So Professor Stallone plays Machine Gun Joe Baterbo. I don't know why I remember this stuff. You cannot forget a name like that. Yeah. Roger Corbin, man. You can't beat... That'll be on the stars. Left kind of an odd taste in my mouth. But I shouldn't have tried to eat the DVD, granted. But it's a good little bro. So let's take it to the microwave first. But drive. Yes, drive. The buzz on this thing has been unbelievable. Because I've heard it. Yeah. No. It's... Well, okay, I should say the buzz in the Joss Whedon community. My uncle talks about it non-stop to himself. Nice tie-in. That was good. We're gonna all back together. But no. He feeds the squirrels. He doesn't feed the squirrels. He's a pigeon. The squirrel? He's like, "They're my children." It's an empire. He's never had his own. I think he ever sees us. I'm sorry. Anyway. He's not sorry. We love you. You're still family. He does love you. To the point of stabbing you in your sleep. No, keep going. We don't know much more than that, really. There hasn't... I haven't heard anything. There was a small screen. I think at Comic-Con. There was a... Oh, no, no, no. It was at Flamevention. It was a small screen of like a five minute clip of it. But it's just supposedly it's gonna be unbelievable. So... And they're the fillian. I mean, what more do you need? I love the guy. Hey, I went back and watched two guys' girl on the pizza place. Who's that guy? That's gotta hurt. Taking one for the change. Was it pre or post pizza place? 'Cause they dropped the pizza place part of it. Oh, really? Halfway through the series. Yo, you are a TV junkie. TV is your crown. Hi. This is what I wanna go into is a career. He studies hard. I study hard. He studies his craft. In Memphis. Yeah. I need to get out. You play World of Warcraft. You play World of Warcraft, did I any chance? Because I have some friends in Memphis. Well, guild mates from Memphis. My brother. So maybe... Really? You know. Has he played a girl called Darketta? 'Cause I know her. Him, him, her. We have an online romance and I found out he was a dude. You guys are hardcore in World Warcraft, you are, that's all? Yes. A little bit. Yeah, hardcore. That means you are. I'll get sucked in. Yeah, I play it every now and then. You are. That means you are like hardcore. You know. It's like an hour to six and I, you know. Dude, I beat Zelda in last week. I was hanging out with a friend of mine. Yeah, I beat Twilight Princess. I was hanging out with a friend of mine. And I go, dude, I kind of miss it. I kind of wish I hadn't beat it so quickly. You are calling him a junkie. I miss like the game. I can't wait for the next one to come out. Oh, you're GameCube. Yeah. Go and leave. Yeah. You gotta go with that one. No. I hit my girlfriend really hard. I can do this without it being inappropriate. Right. We were playing tennis and I almost knocked her arm off. I mean, she was playing it too close to me, you know. You got to teach her a lesson. Dude, I have this friend Graham who is on the show every now and then. When we are playing tennis, you know how it switches you from the beginning. From the net to the server. Right. He has to literally move in front of the TV to be on that side of the screen. Like, I'll be serving and he'll be on that side of the screen and everything is cool. And as soon as we switch places, he's like, hold on. Get over there. Get over there. And I'm like, what? Will that affect your game? Apparently so. What if his perception is obviously warped. Yeah. What is going on? I just thought it's interactive. But you guys are playing, I was going to suggest Powers to you. Have you read Powers? No, I haven't. Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon. I mean, he's a, Brian Michael Bendis, the guy who's writing like a ton of stuff for Marvel. They really got a lot of indie credit on Powers. And it's like, if you guys like stuff like, we talked to that guy at Comic Con, actually. If you enjoy stuff that's like a police procedural, but set in a world that has superheroes. That's what it is. It's Powers investigations. And tons of mainstream comic publishers have taken that idea and run with it. You know what I mean? But this was the original one and I think it still does it best. And you can easily find it in trade. So I was like, dude, Mad song would love this book. You're going to have to write out a full list for me. I could. I could. That's one that you like procedural shows. Did you read Rising Stars by Joe Stryzenski? I did. Did it ever end? It did end. Three or four and I missed the rest somehow. It did end. And it ended with like a total sputter. And if you liked it, you should be reading Squadron Supreme for Marvel. All right. Because he took the exact same ideas and they just seemed more polished. But that seems to. We're kicking out here, guys. If you guys have anything to say, this mic is green for you. You know, but you have to fight him. With two of my knives. Yeah. We're going to give each of you guys a knife. Whoever can get to the knife first can have the mic. All right. Watch the dude in the back who's like this. Don't look at their hands. Look at their eyes. You should have learned that from your uncle. We're talking Ben earlier about, because we're, I mean, this show, I have a 360. I'm really excited that these two new Gears of War maps came out. I'm really excited about that because I just started getting in the game. I love the Wii, but PC gaming is something that I don't do. That's all I do. That's all I do. You guys are all about PC games. Nintendo games on it. You were saying that you guys play some stuff at work. What's the stuff you guys play at work? Battlefield. Battlefield 2. What is that? Battlefield 2, 142, occasionally. Treat me like I'm somebody who doesn't know who it is. It's a very realistic first person shooter. And the reason I don't like it? Too realistic because I'm apparently a horrible combatant. I'm very bad at shooting my own teammates. Do you think your uncle would be experienced if he was mad or your great war would freak out if he was playing one of these first persons? Was he in one of these situations he wasn't in it? He just reads about them. Okay. Because I was always thinking like, like these games are getting really realistic. What if a vet picks one up? Spaz is out. You know what I mean? Might go on a virtual shooting spree. He just like runs out in the street and just goes just killing him. Clicking his mouse furiously. You know. See, I would understand that more than some pull of your old kids doing Grand Theft Auto and freaking out. You know what I mean? You know how when they make a new Grand Theft Auto game there's always like some story line about some 12 year old. It's the pharmaceuticals though. They're messing the kids up. You know the pharmaceutical? They slurp them down and they go jerk. Right. And there are times when I play that game and I'm stuck in traffic and I'm like, I can hop the curb. You know what I mean? The worst was when I was driving in the Northeast and there was a military convoy and one of them had a tank on it. And I was like, I could get in that. They're expecting some urban arrest. I could get in that. You know. Because I was playing my city at the time. I know how to unlock the lid. Right. I was like, I don't know how to get in that. I could get in that tank. We had that happen around. We had that happen around. That's right. That's the video. Yeah. I remember watching that video. Seriously. When I lived in the Northeast and I moved to San Diego, I'm like, Hey, I know this place. Why do I? Hey. You look outside your window. There's a tank rope. Yeah. It was, you know, it's daily occurring. There's Jonathan. I'm not. Yeah. Like, what's up guys? Need a lift? What? Battlefield 2. Too realistic. Yeah, too realistic. What is it? Is it just Army or a future? They have different series. So it was Battlefield 1942. Battlefield Vietnam. Battlefield 2142. There's different times in it. Which is in the future. So somebody who's using devics or is on stage six.com and it totally messes up with them. It's because you guys are spending too much time on the game. Screwing off Friday afternoon. Probably. Yeah. What are some of the other games? You know, some people, the thing with PC, people like to play a lot of, like, older games. Oh, I'm a classic game. Starcraft. Yeah. We started taking up the Starcraft lately. Can you guys explain to me Starcraft? It's a digging. I don't know. What is it? It's like, it's a resource management mining game. So you get your resources. You build stuff. You get your army. You attack stuff. You defend stuff. And you kill everyone to win. Essentially. Okay. It's a resource management. Do you want a company or an army? There's three different races. There's a Zerg. Which is like this alien race. There's like the terrain. Which is like the Marines. And then there's the protagonist. Which is another super alien race. Okay. So you have, like, little characters that mine for gold and your resources for stuff. And then you can build bunkers that build army guys that build bigger things. You have to take over the introduced mines. Yeah. You take over these other bases. Get more resources and things like that. And you just think we've never played Starcraft? No, dude. Strategy for me. I was one of those kids who just liked the action games. You know? Like Ikari Warriors. I was thinking about that game the other day. Because I was playing like years of war. And I was like, dude, they should do Ikari Warriors like this. Remember that game? My favorite game on the 360 is Geometry Warriors. That thing makes me crazy. I love it. It's like Smash TV. Remember Smash TV, dude? Nice. Smash TV where you have the two controllers. And one's your gun and one's your direction. Which you can't take over. I think you're going to Robotron. Jomotron is a mix of Robotron 20-84 and Asteroids. I watched that game, I almost went to an upload through Seacher. Which one? Oh, Geometry Wars. It made me crazy. Really? I started late. It's too much. It's like a century overload. Do you need to load up on barbitulas and just sit like this? Late at night. A lot of Mountain Dew. Yeah. You've got to get yourself ramped to that level of speed. I fully believe it puts you in a zen state. I played, there's one night. I stayed up all night playing Sega, Dreamcast. This is the Jules. I like how you used to own the great cast. No, it's at a friends house. Columns. Columns. I was on a Mountain Dew zone. It was on the highest level and the numbers were flipping around because I just never missed. I just never missed. I was like zone. What are your all-nighters? Video games. X-com. Okay. I didn't remember X-com. Wow. Those were the ones that you pulled in all night on. Something that's been made in the 21st century. I like this game. I'm a classic gamer. Yeah. Did you replay X-com? No. The one that I was like, I must defeat this game. I must like see it through Quackshot on the Genesis with a Donald Duck. He shoots plungers at walls so you can jump up him and he's like Indiana Jones. I remember freshman year at college coming back from a Green Day concert. Nice. My roommate had this dude who would always want to wrestle or not my roommate. My best friend Kevin had been on the old show. He had a roommate who always wanted to wrestle so he didn't even know what time it would be. The dude would be asleep. Let's wrestle. Kevin, for the most part, spent time sleeping in my dorm room and I would be on the computer or playing Genesis. Probably emulator or playing Genesis, Quackshot, baby. Coming back from that concert with Kevin, play a little Quackshot all night. What are some other all-nighters that you guys have been doing? It has to be game-led, yeah. It just takes a long time and like the old school is Zelda, like the original, like the city you have to play through and start to finish. Link to the past was awesome. I'm like Pac-Man. I will play Ms. Pac-Man anywhere and everywhere I can. Really? Yeah, the reason I like Ms. Pac-Man better than Pac-Man is it was faster. She went so much faster. Here, I'll tell you this. There are multiple versions because there's a variable in the original arcade machine where you could flip it. As I understand it, I'm but no, if I don't think-- How do you find this crap out? In the 20th anniversary when they did, you can like hit a secret code and get the original Pac-Man in there. Nice. Yes. That's the only reason you can go faster. No. No, they just designed Ms. Pac-Man to have a booster, but I just played on the Genesis and you'd have little settings and it would say Pac-Booster and she would go a lot faster. I'm downloading Genesis games to my Wii and my girlfriend is really addicted to Toe Jam and Earl. Yes. I was working the air night and I hear behind me this-- because it has that fake rap in it. And I turn around and she's like, I got to find the spaceship parts. Like what? It's very 90s. I mean, I'm socially retarding her, you know? Great idea. Here's a professional woman. You should probably retard someone. You better do it socially. And I'm doing it like this. You know what I mean? I'm getting her comics. I'm getting her video. Literally. Her boss goes, so what did your boyfriend get you for Christmas? I got a stuffed animal based on a comic book character, a comic book, a video game and some DVDs. I'm like, oh, that sounds perfect for my Christmas, but not for a 30-year-old. That shows that you know her. Yeah. All right. She must lie because she's staying with you, so I mean-- Right. Right. With the Genesis, what's the top Genesis games ever? Sonic. I mentioned Clark. Sonic. Sonic. Sonic. Sonic. Sonic. I love the old Spider-Man game. Yes. Because-- Joe, with the version I got, one of the end bosses was Batman. What? Unlicensed, however. And so in later versions of the cartridge, it was this flying bat creature. That was not Batman. However, in the first one, the original one that I still have somewhere in an attic on the East Coast. And I'm sure it's still Batman. Batman. Are you serious? No. That's the one where, like, the kingpins in charge, and, like, you fight Venom and the lizard and you work your way through all those. I remember that. You started out in the factory? Yeah. And Batman was the end-- He wasn't-- he was one of the end bosses, unlike the second level. That's crazy. But in later versions, a friend of mine went out and got the game. What do you think of this crap, Bob? Probably. It's hard to believe you now that you were like, yeah, just load up on barbituates and play. And I'm like, dude, what if all of your video gaming is just a drug-induced haze? I just play in front of a blank screen with a controller in nowhere. You were the kid who was playing Dungeons and Dragons, and people were like, it will lead you to kill your parents for money. Remember when everybody was against Dungeons and Dragons because it's like the gateway drug to cults? I wasn't allowed to play it as a child. Really? Yeah. Really? That magic, and, you know-- Because they're afraid to turn out like your uncle. [LAUGHTER] Oh, exactly. You see what happened to your uncle? Yeah. He's eating pogs. It's Uncle Gary Gaggs. No? Guy who created D&D? Anybody? Sorry. Good. Good. All right. Anything else you guys want to add? I think we've had a pretty geek-filled show. I think we've covered a lot of geek subjects. Kevin? Can't catch up on Veronica Mars. Anyone, everyone. I like how you were just sitting in the audience. Come on. I know. That's cool. Why not? This is the essence of Web 2.0, everybody. Yes. Thanks. Anything else, guys? Like, talk a little bit about-- David's rocks. There you go. There you go. Dude, David's looks better than YouTube. That's all I does. Dude, I'm not a tech guy. Don't make Google angry. No? I was like-- Come over here with a mob, a nerd! Here's the thing. Here's the thing about CES. I was like, wow, a portable washing machine. I'm not so into the tech stuff because I don't have the capacity for it mentally. You guys were explaining divvix to me in the technology last night at dinner. I could feel like blood coming out of my ear. Which is awkward, really. The best way to explain it to somebody like me is just to put me in front of it. And I was like, oh, looks better than YouTube. Cool. I'll use this, though. You don't have to know. You have our product for it. Yeah, I mean, we appreciate it. That's our marketing. Just look in. Do you know what you can get a 1920 by 1080 movie compressed down to? I don't even know what that means, you know? 1080 by 720p, what do you know? They talk about it a lot on Battlestar Galactica. That's right. Yeah. Tune in. Another show. I will watch it. I will watch it. I will watch it. And how about you so, Ben? Anything you want to shout out? Yeah. That's great. Yeah. I'm going to speak to the level. Dude, we take it to the next level here. Yeah. Watch this episode on repeat. Just go for it. Everything again. We should do it. You know what we should do? We should do a commentary on this episode or have an audio. You know what you can do on DIVX? I won't do this on geekscape.net, but on the DIVX site to keep your stuff exclusive, what if the audience downloads the show? You can do that on DIVX.com. Make a commentary for it and re-upload it. Can you guys do that? Absolutely. Of course. I think that would be a pretty cool thing. We have to engage the audience. Do a commentary. The guy on the left, oh, sh-- up, up. Here he is again. He beeped himself. Quagshot is for-- I bet I know what he really did with the plunger. And I did. Matt, throw it down. Let's see. Oh, geek. Oh, here's a geek thing. Harry Potter fans. Check out Wizard People Dear Reader by Brad Neill. No, no, no. Wait, wait. Who don't take it to that next level? Hey, hey, you said next level? Why not? Why not? No, OK. He does a-- It's not so funny. You just said this is the fact you almost hopped off your chair when you said it. It's exciting. It's very cool. I'm not even kidding. Because what you do is you get Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Toad and you start these two CDs. You have two CDs. You start the first one at the same time that like Dumbledore first appears. And there's a hilarious e-book with this-- it's done as though it were an audiobook. And the guy's drinking beer and getting progressively more profane while talking about Harry Potter. It's his own commentary. It's excellent. Wizard People Dear Reader. I think Deviantart has it, but it's great. Cool. I should get my uncle to do a commentary on this. Dude, your uncle should totally do it. You can see this. I got a tape recorder out in the morning. Yeah, now there are 68 voices in his head. Exactly. Instead of just 64, right. Well, thanks to you guys for sitting through this. You guys can check out Geekscape.net. Thanks to Divix and Stage 6 for coming out here at CES. This has been awesome. Absolutely. I got to write the Giddy-Up. It's just like a saddle for women. They're like, yeah, it works your legs. I'm like, right. I got on it. I saw you. Sure. Yes. It worked my heart. Yes. I want a Giddy-Up. I do. Yeah. So thanks guys. It's Geekscape, Geekscape.net. I see you guys. We will see you guys next week back in Los Angeles. Thanks a lot, guys, for joining us. Rock on. Thank you. Kevin, for getting up out of the night. Thank you for coming up here. Thanks, guys. We'll see you guys next week. Toodaloo-leeking. [APPLAUSE]
