2012-04-05
it is Wednesday April fourth 2012 thanks for tuning in to the 404 show the best damn show on the Internet I'm Jeff Bakalar and I'm Justin you and this is the show where are you gonna finish that done cuz i'm pretty pretty hungry bad i got some expensive tastes as kids in africa that can t times there are children in africa would love to be eating money right now we got to that conversation that's why we have that weird show that'll talk about like crazy stuff you maybe did well no realize this conversation because you were bragging about what you were getting back in but i wanted is right and then I dared you to tear up that dollar bill right to show how rich you are right because I'm not and in return I would swallow this here dime so have you did you the recollection rowing up growing up did you ever do anything really silly for money I have plenty of zai me personally I was not interested in stuff like that yeah it felt prostitute ish yeah exploited ish yeah sure sort of like the cast of jackass uh I didn't I was that kid that would always eat things for money okay you mean like people would like mixed together everything in their lunch plate in their cold pack forget from school you know like I just put these like beans and pepper and hot sauce together so you were like that for a quarter so you were like the master of concoctions you were like all right we're gonna put some you know battery acid and this uh you know like squeeze out the rain for my socks and then oh oh no yeah yeah so gross you know it's like being poor man times are tough it's rough out there you're full of it I mean maybe not the sock thing but battery acid for sure would you eat so you've eaten coins before Hoynes I've eaten what's the saying like if she swallows a quarter that's fine yeah she craps out two dimes and a nickel they it what what what's saying is that from that's from a movie I think it's a grumpy old medicine like that it's pretty funny uh making change in your stomach yeah well like I had a friend we'd always go on a ski trip and we'd always go to this diner outside the like right outside the base of the mountain okay and one year money wasn't good and he was desperate he could barely afford I mean it's like first world problems he couldn't afford to go skiing he couldn't afford like a second day lift ticket a rare so he was trying to scramble like 50 bucks together okay so he's like I have to earn it right now I'm where and you were sitting at a diner it's like eleven o'clock at night and we only had a few things in front of us so we're like okay gonna make you like snort a line of salt right which I don't know if you've seen anyone do that yeah that is not a pretty sight and then just like take shot after shot of Tabasco sauce oh my god right after doing the line of salt yeah we were like 16 yeah I'm sure the other pages of the restaurant love see you ignoring white was off the table it was funny because we were the last ones there mountain town ski towns close down early this is like way past that everyone's bedtime so he's like yeah I'll do it and he did it and he like he turned green yeah crazy we were like freaking out yet do not try that at home is what I is the moral of that story this was also around the time when like videos like CKY came out which I feel like was probably really bad thing can't kill yourself was like the worst thing to ever happen to kids because it was pre jackass right when and jack has had that disclaimer and like there was you know look whenever stuff like this hat there's always gonna be a few kids who accidentally kill themselves or hurt themselves like even planking took a few victims up heaps kids kids have killed sure so you know it's gonna happen but ck what that was like really early Jack a sort of stuff for kids were imitating that yeah and then that was also the time when uh videos like faces of death were out you know there's like a lot of that was airs a lot of messed-up stuff going through uh no preteens heads I just feel like don't you think like kids now are just so are desensitized so much earlier in life uh yeah it was the is it I mean I know it's easy cuz of the internet but I feel like there is no filter anymore yeah and I and it happen to me too but not until I was a little older I guess until I was maybe 14 yeah when it was like hey guess what I've pretty much seen everything there is to see had nothing to discuss you know did you ever play poo dollar hahahaha hell is that you've never heard of that before can you say without being disgusting yeah I mean two dollars when you take a dollar bill and then you know was that walk around looking for animal def occasionally but isn't that what they didn't mighty ducks but what do they do they did in the in the Mighty Ducks 2 or something and then you put it on top of the poo right right or known a little bit on the bottom what they did was they got like an old-looking purse okay and they found duty and they put me in the person then let like a dollar out of it someone season I all mayors and personal money the dog threw up and like all wait a minute just picked up a bag poo this was a little more nefarious that you would find uh poop on the ground and you take your dollar bill or five dollar bill if it was a good month and then you you know because on how much of the prank you could afford yeah you would spread a very thin layer on the other side of the dollar bill yeah that would kind of serve it as an adhesive that you would stick on the ground you know you hear that thing that's like oh that's disgusting it you hear that store like Oh ninety percent of our money has traces of cocaine on a shirt yeah how much has fecal matter I'm a lot of significant amount which is why I'm gonna go ahead eat this nickel right now grab at five pennies then we got something to worry about on with the stories of the day the news of the day puto okay Arizona such strange state they always seem to be in the headlines for making really weird ass backwards laws yeah well they're back at it trolling might get you a quarter century in jail right what the hell is this about uh this just goes to show that government officials that barely use the internet shouldn't make laws regarding the internet and this is so this is about a Arizona House bill 2549 it passed last week in both legislative houses and now it's uh I think it's waiting for approval from their governor in Arizona right now and the bill states and I'll just read this off it's unlawful for any person with intent to terrify intimidate threaten harass annoy or offend to use any electronic or digital device with regards to obscene lewd or profane language that may suggest it lewd or or lascivious act okay so this is a class three felony this is a class for federal felony if that electronic device was used to stalk a victim yeah or to victimize anybody but I mean the problem with this is that the language is so generous it's so generous and that to anything that you do on the internet from a maybe a harassing YouTube quote yeah to a mean facebook comment it is we go shockingly unfounded and and underexplored in terms of what that kind of sentence carries and how huge of a net this casts right it's so so why do all the people in power have no idea what they're what about internet law and the reality of the Internet you're basically saying every person who's ever been on the internet is going to jail for report chorea so the class 3 felony which carries a minimum sentence of two and a half years right for non dangerous offenders with no prior record what yeah class three felonies are really serious um those are not misdemeanor charges and you would go to jail for maximum of 25 years in jail if prosecute you that'll go over real well right that homicidal maniac in the cell next to you would you in 40 I was trolling someone on the internet Raoul guess what we're gonna do and you'll be in there with for the same reason that a second DWI convict right in there those i think is a tree felling which i think is equally as as as you know the poor miss mischievious oh yeah yeah definitely or skipping bail is another class 3 felony what the hell is going on why is this okay yeah um so how can this be fixed like what's the what's the takeaway don't live in Arizona I think so dude don't get an internet account don't go on the internet if you're in our zone just I'll just stop going on the internet I mean I don't know probably everybody like you're crazy when yours only that you feel like you're crazy yeah I don't understand it's the same thing with people who are uneducated and ignorant about uh you know a lot of things that go on in the world that that certain people just have no connection to yeah and I know we always bring up this example but it always comes back to it it's like putting the blame on something like video games for one kids you know murderous tirade right okay and they're just like all if he didn't play call of duty he woulda killed all those people no you're wrong there are things that you can do though I mean the the governor's supposed to represent the people so he has a facebook page and just go on right now just go to like red check it out so here facebook.com slash gov jan brewer yeah of arizona and people are already sharing links are they trolling her uh can I troll her out of over state lines across state lines yeah you can anyone can do this so uh yeah I mean this is like you can message her I want to get her on the show and ask her how long she spent in a reddit forum yeah you know uh hey governor what's going on well don't troll her because not trolling her only her it would basically be doing what so was Katie cure trolling sarah palin i did see that was that the case she being trolled don't you think that was a little reactionary that it wasn't that big of a deal when matt lauer cut her off was that the story you're referring to talk about that the infamous interview Oh Katie Couric was sort of giving her the benefit of the doubt right I'm saying look I'm just asking you a few questions if if you know a normal person papers do you read right what newspapers do you read some the questions that any normal vice presidential candidate would be able to answer right I mean come on yeah the oh you you're asking uh someone to post questions to this Arizona matter about the internet just be like you just haven't done any research be like hey what's your favorite subject right exactly you know how many book would Eve you bookmarked lately like what do you mean yeah I don't know I don't want to pass judgment but come on a governess does not sound like someone who's been on the internet for that long yeah well I hope that doesn't pass yeah me too moving right along this is something that you and I wanted to talk about for a while and it's basically a entry on the freakonomics website talking about how a you know copyright infringement identity theft all that kind of stuff is one category and then you come to the category of uh you know what a lot of copyright holders are all up in arms the content distributors the people who make the the music the movies and whatnot right talk about copying stuff online right like oh you download a file sharing you downloaded something illegally and this is maybe more of a philosophical argument than rather a you know straight fact sort of issue but the freakonomics website is talking about how copying is not theft the way that the word theft is defined in our language right arm without getting too technical and the article is shockingly not technical it's just basically saying you can't say that copying is theft because theft the traditional sense of theft means I had something and now I don't have it yes sir my problem with that is uh you know saying that people are losing money by P by other people downloading their content online is assuming that they would have bought it had the content not been available right i mean right like and there's no way that you could tell that maybe they're just downloading it because it's available so you're not necessarily picking things out of their pocket and taking it like you would if you would steal a car right exactly well and that's what everyone's problem is with remember those uh PSAs at the Motion Picture Association you know what steal a car yeah you wouldn't I don't know skill mobile phone or DVDs you wouldn't rob a bank right no robbing a bank is not the same thing as downloading 21 Jump Street right it's just not you can't equate the 2 i'm not saying they're both not crimes hmm but you cannot look the relay this them together in that same thievery category right it's just not the same i think it all sort of like boils down to in tangible objects and you know the door swings both ways the whole elimination of physical media when things become intangible right you sort of don't possess things like you used to I have a CD I flip through the book is not the same as I downloaded the latest lady gaga album and I have it on my computer it's just not the same and from the artists perspective to I remember I was watching a documentary about Henry Rollins and piracy and he had some pretty cool things to say about it let me hear sounding off he was talking about how artists shouldn't ding their fans at every chance they get you know like the way that you release an album is you don't charge a lot for CDs right put it for like a five dollar drm fee online um and he had this line that said I'd rather be heard than paid and I think that's a good model for when artists release content like that it's more about getting your music out there if you're if you know if you're really hundred percent agree i think why do you think it happens why do you think there's such a change in in like the the attitude of people of artists i mean i understand and i think maybe it really did start with the Metallica's of the world right when they you know when they came after individual fans demanding their 35 cents for downloading right exactly I mean that just gave the entire aggressive you know downloader debate this whole sort of negative connotation right we don't get me wrong it's not cool if you just download music all the time and you're not but that like your I what's a matta my eyes are your eyes are it's just raining in your eyes um you know I mean like Asia there's a difference um I I i we say this all the time we reiterate it all the time if you truly love a band see them live is that is the best way that your money winds up in their pocket go see him live and buy a t-shirt yeah even if it's fifty dollars uh so I found the quote here online this is funny he says uh this is from henry rollins he goes if you want to steal my stuff and do what record labels have been doing for me for years now you get to play the man good for you go ahead and do it but am I going to come after you for my 35 cents know if you can't afford to listen to my music and you got to get it off the internet hey at least you're rocking yeah I mean you know that is that's almost like no one downloads using for sell out yeah I love it I love him wrong but he makes a good point no one's downloading music of bands they don't care about her that they hate true I mean you only download what you love yeah I mean look at it like this you know I get but at the end of the day you're never gonna download something that you don't want to listen to write exam loading you know a katy perry city ever yeah yo desire to ever listen to you never downloaded a justin bieber CD exactly so he's really making all that money yeah I like that line I'd rather be heard than paid yeah it makes sense because it's the same sort of mentality of like any publicity is good but you know even bad publicity is good publicity Henry Rollins is a good moneymaker though he probably doesn't have to worry about eating I'm not worried about him at all he goes on tour on the country rise uh talk you know his talk sessions he spoken word spoken word stuff he's acting I'm not worried about him at all yeah but he's got the right message sure that's for sure don't download our podcast yeah free it's free last story before we hit the brake um I guess this sort of makes sense Daily Mail at a UK saying that iPads could possibly be ruining our eyesight at an earlier age because get this and it makes sense they make you forget to blink yeah a little dubious about this study this is from a dr. Christine pers lo she's saying that the mind focuses so much on the screen throughout its daily use that you sort of subconsciously forget to blink that's I'm sorry that's true and you keep your eyes open longer so you can read sentence I find that to be true I find myself not blinking when i'm using you do it consciously I'm just like all my guys feels like clockwork orange I just don't blink I know I don't blink because when I do it's like you know your contacts what's a real tough blink right you know there's a lot of crap that goes on your eyes my eyelids have a tough time making it all the way back and it's not just iPads its computers your smartphone's it's every electronic device you're looking at all day long and there she's saying that it develops drill eyes drawn yeah well here's the thing is as we normally blink 12 to 15 times a minute but using a computer screen can cut this down to seven or eight so it's basically have right I don't know is is is a health I'm sure a healthy I I'm sure the reason we naturally blink is to keep the I lubricated or keep it clean and free of dust and crap and stuff like that so maybe yeah it does cut in to what keeps our eyes hell hmm so you can't deny that no I mean I'd I'm short of counting the amount of blinks you do a minute not sure if this if this actually holds up but she is saying that there are ways you can get around this blink more blink more that's it more Blake more of the also says taking a screen brake helps of course and then changing the focus of the eye by looking into the distance regularly so look at things further away test your eyesight a little more maybe hold it at arm's distress tout that Retina display yeah it's ridiculous I don't know or maybe Apple will come out with their own brand of I lubrication oh I drops coming too I want to come out with the app that just sort of give pops a little message and she says don't forget the blink yeah hope you did it 15 times this minute maybe a little thing will come up and squirt you in the eye is it like a foot yeah but you blink down thank you that's what i wanted to i sent out this tweet at a CES and i was really hoping that someone would come out with a display like an actual computer monitor that would spritz you with water every 15 minutes or whatever intervals you want like a cat yeah yeah that would really help you know for the summertime when it's hot out or when you're falling asleep at your desk you guys be nice if like a steering wheel did that too yeah exactly car feels like it's veering off the sign a little bit yes Oh huh huh put those windshield spritzers inside the car give me a break we'll take a break and after this more 404 including emails and voicemails so stick around we will be right back this is the 404 mr f'ers the show where we all sing song alright welcome back to the 404 a lot of exciting things happening with our fine program yeah we let a little sneaky bit out the other day on our twitter feed if you people know what that is yeah they do not grow shots where you do not sure you could tell no I think they do yeah okay I mean it's no secret what the show is changing remove we're moving along with our schedule and gonna get a new logo and new music and a lot of new packaging and whatnot yeah well here it is new guess you already put it as a profile picture yeah it's just like a little tidbit like may or may not look like this is one of the initial rendering this is just like this is a pre-alpha yeah pre-alpha we're actually and we're also talking with Morgan Spurlock's people I'm trying to make that happen he's got a new movie out about comic-con oh really yeah so we're trying to get Morgan Spurlock on the show so that should be a lot of fun too he's a busy dude man yeah you made that uh the greatest movie ever sold I'm a daddy made the infamous supersize me yeah which he was nominated for an Oscar for you know they made another film like the like the rebuttal to that right super high me no that's that what all that was when smoke I'm smoking weed for I think two months no I think it was that he what I can he quits my family that poor guy um and then no someone made one where he wanted to try and lose weight by eating McDonald's every day okay and I think he was able to do it by eliminating all the other sugar in his diet mm-hmm why you're looking all I'm just trying to think about how that would even work I mean there are healthy options healthy up I'm sure you don't eat McDonald's every day not you know right I get fat but Morgan staying in the in super size because it he had to try everything on the menu right and it was more about state of the food industry in America and what we're feeding two children right I'll tell you man the next thing sugar that's the next one yeah first it was fat and calories now it's sugars next damn sugars gonna get its ass kicked its soda I think it's a lot of a lot of its soda I'm guilty that too you're terrible 25-cent soda machine I know it's like it's like free soda but you know what you're gonna pay for it in the end I would say caffeine too might be the next culprit in art I don't know man yeah I don't know because a caffeine I don't think has the negative effects that sugar does yeah you're not getting died there pointing the finger at sugar at like cancer now right yeah yeah who said that yeah Sanjay Gupta said I'm serious really there's actually a really scary report on this past weekend 60 minutes huh that sort of said you know there are certain things that sugar does to you that increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes and stuff like that and now they're starting to say well maybe it has a hand in cancer geez I mean think about it think about people in the 50s right and they were saying how I people thought they were eating cheese burgers and milkshakes all day and then we were having the same amount of heart attacks as they did then yeah but the cheeseburgers back then we're probably a lot smaller though I don't know I mean that's probably the various I wasn't alive I don't know yeah oh I'll start slapping the coax out of my hand when you see me walking out how many times if I said ah man you're gonna have you're gonna put coke in your coffee yeah well if they start serving milk out of the vending machines I'll drink that milks after sugar man dr. milk like dude that milks up here drink so bad for you human digestive system hasn't figured it out yet no tell any man all right it's uh let's get to a few calls its calls from the public time time to show the love 86 for Xena for McDonald's sugars bad bad I have a craving for McDonald's I have a problem with sugar I love candy yeah I love can't you do love candy give a sweet tooth I have only one of a 40 speaking hey it's sweet teeth oh yeah you're never eat candy what are you talking about i've never seen you you know i can binge out I never see you eat the worst is like Halloween oh my god so much candy at your fingertips it's terrible and you you know understand why is it you go to a pharmacy in America yeah and you're going to a pharmacy to get your prescription filled which will probably wind up in some way improving your health or saving your life yeah but before you leave that establishment you must pass by the infinite amount of cigarettes available yeah and the infinite amount of just junk food yes it's always like three four five and read it's like we're just giving these you know king size reese's pieces away right cuz it's thursday how are kids not supposed to look at that below how are you red hots for lunch you know well it's CBS and duane reade they sell me all this crap right but i also get my you know diabetes medication my insulin there this is totally hypocritical of us by the way because i went to Raintree like yesterday and filled up on my monthly candy coffer I'm not saying what's not that's not I'm not saying we're not part of the problem yeah or at least you're not but I'm just saying man it's just it's ridiculous yeah it's crazy you'll have a problem with fruit hate fruit you know ya do not like fruit that seems dangerous I'm gonna try to find an article online that talks about how have fruits terrible fruit yeah I like new study out apples actually do not keep the doctor away I understand the point you ever see a grown man just walking down the street eating fruit right yeah do you for it's a kids thing every day I have an apple and a banana what do you do with the right there's like there's a lot of complications there you got to peel the skin off what do you do it so what do you do with the banana peel after you eat it Weird are you freaking choking now they're not joking I don't know I don't understand the concert of fruit too much work you don't understand the kinds of you think eating an apple is to work intensive yeah too much work you gotta like look at it to make sure you're not eating papa it I don't even realize we're I didn't realize we're playing these games today does it make sense you're damn fool too much too much I processing she shut the freak up fruit no no adult eat fruit it's a kids thing that's why they serve it with subway sandwiches oh I hate you so much I'm half joking but half serious i really don't know you don't get it rude really how could it be healthy let's listen to this call he says we're okay hey guys jeff from Connecticut just want to say I thought and the show would go slow down when you lock guy last lock I created me Williams hang neck who's million and a half but when it's just keeps you guys I think it's absolutely the best ponies real girl in there big honest account is lightens it up now hold it all right so he's uh he's saying that just you and I yeah we're interrupting but in the middle of his compliments once oh no that was sort of the UH the meeting potatoes they're all right um that was the apples and oranges yeah bad part um yeah I mean he's the first one to say that they just like you and me oh I don't know if I agree with him I paid him to kind of hate you that's my friend especially after your fruit tirade like Kiwi who eats Kiwis Jesus we talked a lot about Game of Thrones yesterday a lot of positive feedback about that couple negatives let's just talk about the whole language in that era guys west palm beach from the Sean I was a feature yesterday about Game of Thrones haven't actually watched yet but he totally hates the nail on the head and you had to comment about the language because that reminded me of another show and if you guys ever watch Spartacus cells on stars its effects on netflix instant queue to but their language was just as modern as you guys don't we can obtain games ability justice system it's crazy it is weird they say F and s and everything and they're just it doesn't make sense yeah monkeys FS bitch is so weird and then but then someone wrote in was like hey they've been saying the effort since the 1400s yeah it's fine Game of Thrones doesn't take place in our past right it is a fictional universe yeah so we're just we're just saying that the words are out of place contextually speaking and also because everything they say is so formal and calculated that it sounds weird when you just throw a filler word yeah like effing right and it's not just f2 they use it as a verb like I and even when they save this they seated balls a lot too yeah that doesn't make any sense yeah haven't they be like just stick your fortitude know they say ball they say cock2 yeah they say cocky you can say yeah they say that yeah it doesn't make sense oh weird yeah the cannonballs it just doesn't make any sort of that I wanted I want to skim through the novel and just see if George Martin was like oh okay yeah he did say I get it all right last thing about Game of Thrones will be off it hey guys this is Atlantis and Colin I wasn't here yesterday show and I heard what the other saying about Ned sockets med things and agreeable that it is a terrible terrible name for a so-called Europe however art is important to note that it names actually load ederd short EBD ard bedard and i believe matt is just short all right so is that better his name is entered they still call I mean editors that makes more sense entered is more sense for that sin textually right but they still call him and his sword is Ned watch out I'm gonna slap you with Ned they couldn't he says this sword is net call him Ned okay oh really that's you're gonna name your sword not Excalibur you're gonna name it Ned yeah here's my sword Larry watch out for Larry yeah it sounds of guys a curve in it it's weird and then there's Rob's to let me talk about a lot of Roberts all right we're done with Game of Thrones go watch it and enjoy it we're talking a lot about like Jamie too we're talking a lot about people watching video games and hear someone saying that eSports as it goes is actually becoming quite popular in this country hey guys this is Minneapolis from Brandon and I just wanted to make sure you guys were aware of eSports I know you guys are talking about audience driven gaming and the death of arcade in the US but eSports me u.s. is actually starting to really take off it got really big in south korea with starcraft 2 but it's starting to really take off here the most notable league is MLG and they have things like Halo and Call of Duty and just started getting street fighter and mortal combat so yeah these live events are pulling in probably I would say five or six thousand people get it uh eSports is competitive video electronics portray what it's saying I don't know man what do you think you would you ever watch somebody play call of duty competitively yeah pay up ticket on own time stadium probably wouldn't pay but if I played that game I'd probably be interested in seeing the top what do you know what am i what am I asking you for what i would i would pay to see the top street fighter care of players in a competitive game and if you go on youtube you could see some of those tournaments it's pretty cool ok why do not it's my phone I don't know why I'm so against this I fen ething I should be for it I mean I can feel like it's in my best interest yeah for a career in what I do for a living why are you not interested in this but then we can still talk about movies like wizard where they had tournament's first Super Mario which is the least fun it's a movie about games yeah okay but unfriend yeah totally different yeah well what's your problem with it I just don't I just don't think people want to watch this I don't think it's as accessible as they want it to be well I don't think that these competitive games have uh just spectators going I think everyone watching it I've probably played you know I know I just struggle with the whole thing on a philosophical level plus just this is too easy to make fine I mean look at this magazine cover here it's a nice part yeah yeah look at this oh man a magazine about playing be I mean this is a this is old too this looks old just halo tues walsh that's like come on it's good that's like forever ago it's photoshopped but anyway it's ridiculous finally speaking of video games star wars kinect fell victim to awful reviews widespread awful reviews on the internet and here's our buddy who thinks he's got a couple good Kinect game suggestions this is brad from buffalo just like to make a comment on you talking about us star wars kinect my solve those of it and looks horrible i laughed out loud at the dancing videos but I anyways in terms of Connect um in terms of a good game you mentioned a fruit ninja kinect and you also have to mention shadow eden and both of those are good yeah another good kinect game is one called a gun a stranger and you basically control a puppet show set in gold west and its really creative and i liked it a lot yeah gun stringer was actually pretty good if if you have a connect and you're dying to get some use out of it aside from yelling at it in mass effect 3 or screaming out nine iron in tiger woods golf is that really you can do they scream at your caddy yeah like a pitching wedge yes you can do it's uh what what is that is that like a gun shooting game where you like have to hold your fingers up more or less it's sort of like that i don't get it i mean i even for an in this is the one thing that I feel like we were right about from the get-go yeah we knew I hated on it and you know it just it's not working out yeah I know it's the fastest selling electronic device of all time whatever the hell it you know but it's just there's a novelty and a honeymoon period and then it's over I can only see the dancing games being relevant you know that that because your mutes detecting your movement can sure somewhere you have to pretend like you're holding things or position your hand cannot be overstated enough does it make sense to dance central games are fantastic yeah yeah I planned it myself yes so I want to want to make that clear it's not all bad but do you need a by a how much is it connect again think they're selling for 150 yeah then look is right um alright let's get into some what you McCall its emails from the public emails nice um ok let's do she here ok talking about watch people watching video games already says it was just listening to Monday's episode we were discussing people who enjoyed watch other people play games I am that person and this is from a woman this is cory my husband plays often and i thoroughly enjoy watching him i also partaken few games myself but only but only when he's not home so he can get her hands on the xbox oh when he's playing something like Call of Duty it's fun to watch because he freaks out just about every time he gets killed that's odd Stacy hates when I play call of duty the reactions of the game is more entertaining than the game itself we also hook up the xbox live audio through connect so I can hear our friends freak out as well it usually winds up in hilarity sure yeah that's that's cool yeah I think that's I think that's a good sort of thing that people don't realize you know especially with the if you're playing with a lot of friends you can use Kinect another good use of connect four uh Mike like speaker phone chat right it's like watching your friends play game sports right oh yeah we got another one from Dave similar subject he's like I don't have all that much of a problem with video game access on the 42 inch screen my wife is a world of warcraft player and is using a desktop computer uh every evening after work and weekends as for watching video games i couldn't watch a full game but i do watch my wife when she is rating with about 50 other players in a large world of warcraft instance some of those instances are pretty intense huh so I don't know maybe not all the time but for the bigger more exciting events makes sense yeah I guess um let's pull this one up to on the screen here Justin this is from fafa and Eve we saw this after we saw the shaun of the dead lego vote on Conan someone wants to do a set for back to the future but the need more votes we think it's time for this to happen we know they know we're fans of the trilogy check it out back to the future Lego edition how freaking cool is that I love that it was we're looking at a DeLorean and I don't know why they chose the third movie to put the there cause I think i mighta done because that has the most decoration okay yes they're in their western wear I mean Jeff's let's be honest by the third Back to the Future move the DeLorean has been through the you know wat yeah and it has just had so many add-ons and augmentations and whatnot it looks pretty badass thank you fafa and eve for sending that in that's pretty awesome I'm trying to figure out what is this like their version of Kickstarter Legos original yeah I think so um so there's an idea stage that this is in right now and people pledge their support so where did the put the end they just like make that DeLorean out of like existing parts or something that's pretty freaking awesome yeah yeah it's pretty cool yeah it is pretty cool put that in the show notes yes um this is from Maxwell from Toronto I know how much you guys both dislike QR codes so I thought he would send this story over well dot CA is Canada's Amazon because our Amazon doesn't sell groceries or home goods I didn't know that you know that no I didn't know that either I actually went to the mall to see this thing in person and it's exactly what you expect you scan the code and it takes you to the product page on well dot CA I and everyone else looked incredibly stupid taking pictures on all our phones isn't that weird yeah so it's like a real-life store that you have to take QR code photos in person interesting so yeah I guess uh it's not all green Canada that doesn't make sense away I'm a little confused by what pull up the side here yeah pull up the site he's saying that you have to go in and there's apparently QR codes everywhere in the store so okay yeah you go into this physical store you scan the products with your phone and then they send it to you it's like a it's like a walk through amazon oh it's like hi visiting a website in real life but there are no actual products here no it's just like pictures of stuffs haha you believe that that seems crazy yeah that's an omar point boy Oh point of having a website said you don't have to pay to have a free-standing store right or the point of shopping on a web sites that you don't have to physically leave your house to go to it oh this is super convenient you mean I have to get my car drive to the store and then go home and wait for it to get my freakin thing yes ridiculous let us know if you have any experience with that store in Canada that's going to do it for us today 866 404 cnet give us a call let us
