ladies and gentlemen round of applause Eliza Dushku chuckles guy we'll just last to make it seem like funny yeah what's up I'm not sure so thank you so much for being here this is a totally cool thanks for having me where we're like just getting started today I just woke up if anyone cared we were hosting I had a lot of hosting CES duties last night but now were after this we're gonna hit the floor and I'm really excited and I'm getting my my group me have used that before actually saw you on television yesterday partying with a robot yeah attempted to do the robot really cheesy but Ava the robot rolled out at the spike party at tryst she was on the list and it was really I don't I didn't quite get a sense of all of her abilities but it's it creeps me out a little bit she was kind of all over the place I felt like she was measuring me up yeah I got that Terminator 3 like rise of the machines fear these things are gonna they're gonna wipe us out they really are the end we're just spelling our own doom right here yeah so you are CES 2012 Entertainment matters ambassador that's a pretty intimidating title for me if ambassador Dushku to you I know I came last year just as a just as a viewer and a fan girl walked around it's very it's very exciting but it's very big and it could be a little bit overwhelming we were here for two days but we didn't quite feel like we we got everywhere that we wanted to go and and they're there they gave you the little maps but we wanted something that I'm around that sort of helped us navigate our way and so we started talking to the folks that entertainment matters and they said why don't you come and be the official ambassador and we'll have a site where people can go and they can type in what they want to find and you can you know hosted parties and and tweet about what you like and and just it bridge the entertainment world of Hollywood and in this tech world because it it is so important it is so exciting we've got to keep up with what's going on and so yeah I'm representing yeah I feel like we're learning slowly but surely a lot of celebrities they have like a geek side they're like closet geeks yeah they come out the closet I'm a tech now I mean I grew up with three brothers we I was always playing video games a Atari was our first Nintendo and then I just have been I have about a million a million point one followers on Twitter and that kind of happened so fast and I feel a commitment now I feel a responsibility to to be on top of it and also with the content that's being produced Justin Hollywood and as a producer myself now you look at kids now and they're watching TV on this for sure everything is so is so digital so it's important thing that I know it the hell I'm talking about you did a little short earlier this year with a Freddie Wong yes apparently a lot of confused me with him because the green glasses do you see like gunshot yeah the next generation of your kind of here to help facilitate that yeah I mean it was astounding the production value that this I mean you could say he's just some kid that decided he wanted to make action movies with his friends for a couple of bucks versus the tens of millions that are spent in action movies and he does it really well and so I had seen some of his work and I was excited to to go and play with them and literally we shot it on Easter Sunday and we were there for a few hours and they pulled together this amazing stunt sequence and it went viral and I think we have over you know 5 million hits but people are seeing it people saw this thing that was not attached to a studio that was not not that I want to tell the studios all of it I never want to work with them again but it's amazing because it really is coming people are taking control and and they're making the kind of content that they want to see they're making things with friends they're having fun and they're able to because of all the technology I think people were like involved in that it was a small crew I mean I think the whole crew was fed by one Domino's Pizza very basic but uh but it was glass right it just looks so good all right let's talk a little bit about CES because that's why we're all here so have you had a chance to walk around the showroom floor yet I haven't but I know where I'm going I the TVs are always incredible to me I was with Felicia Day last night she was telling me I had to go see the new 4k super super high-res TV so that when I go home I cussed the TV that's on my wall like a 4k projector is like literally like you could start you can see like cores inside of cores and you know it's just like we not want to be but to watch it and see I mean you feel like you're looking you're looking through a window if you're watching real life happening for your screen I mean it's it's amazing and we were reading about less than 6 million light pixels are coming through I mean just everything can be condensed and made smaller and more powerful I like that because I'm small and powerful but also we a lot of Wi-Fi the Wi-Fi cameras where you can immediately upload your shots to your to your devices and there are wireless speakers Wireless is always helpful because I don't know what you guys but I'm the girl that still has a pin at home with every old Nokia and I mean I have probably 50 Nokia chargers adapters and I mean all these wires and you don't know to do with them it's a big tangle box so Wireless to me is huge for sure what about 3d people III really just like it just cuz I get sick I get seasick do you really be a little seasick with the 3d but it and also wearing wearing glasses when I'm watching TV I mean I don't I don't wear glasses naturally I wear sunglasses but but I I think it's I think it's extraordinary that we're creating these you know something that's been always been two-dimensionally anything that's sort of evolving is kind of magical I always think it's like you're like too cool when you see someone like walk into the living room they got their sunglasses on speaking of 3d I think I don't know how you feel about this but I think 3d I think the platform it can really excel on is games I think video games in 3d is a lot more immersive you've got a lot of video game work before you were in that game wet by Bethesda which is Ruby Malone and Nike are you involved in anything coming up because I know a lot of our listeners are big gamers we love covering the industry I love to know if anything's going on in that my my last video game was Fight Night and that was new for me because that was motion capture and so instead of just going in and doing the voiceover in the studio we actually went in and wore these little one-piece cat suits with little so - actually when I saw the game see myself we acted out the fuse in these motion capture outfits I wish that they'd let me put the boxing gloves on and be one of the fighters not just the promoters likeable characters we're working with them for fight night - on that but again the three the the more three-dimensional these characters or these you know we are it's just more immersive and it is more exciting for the gamer and even even as I'm playing some of the games now already I do I get a little bit discombobulated too though because you they move so fast and I mean like you got a particular game that you're playing right now that you like last night we got a little sneak peek at the new Final Fantasy we're fighting some of the guys my brothers are here with me and and my brother is is pretty convinced that Final Fantasy 3 was the best fit that there ever was but we played last night it he was impressed with with the new game I've played it a little bit in the world of warcraft in the Wow I do I have been busy and it definitely it takes commitment I mean you need to be ready to like hunker down for a couple of weekends and close the doors in order features and we've been on the move a lot but I try to keep up also I have nephews and my boyfriend has kids teenage boys they you got to be on the pulse you guys are cool and you got to be able to play and I was always really competitive growing up with boys always had to play and had to be good and and you know you have your cred so I want I try to keep up so that I can I can be the cool aunt absolutely before we eat the break I you know we a lot of our listeners are super geeky they they're really into film TV and stuff like that yeah I'm sure you get that all done right we will be doing the geek world a disservice if we didn't ask you about this on IMDB right now you're you're you're credited when you've never heard of that right your creative Buster's three is can you tell us anything like that is it actually gonna be just live you won't tell anybody right now it's just a rumor I mean I I know Dan Aykroyd I've known him for four years yes I was 14 years old and we've talked about it and I mean I would love it I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan I I I love I mean Sigourney Weaver to follow in that woman's footsteps sure just iconic so I will see you guys no first motion-captured Slimer is that what you know I would I'd want you in real life that would be much more satisfying unfortunately we have to say goodbye for now but thank you so much for being here round of applause Eliza Dushku everybody have a great show thank you so much
