not you so thank you so much for being here this is a totally cool thanks for having me we're we're like just getting started today I just spoke up if anyone can tell you do not biggest right I was weird 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 you guys in the group we used that out before actually saw you on television yesterday partying with a robot oh right yeah well is that all the time did you do the robot really cheesy but Ava the robot rolled out at the spike party at tryst she was on the list 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 she 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 spilling our own doom right here yeah so you are CS 2012's Entertainment matters ambassador that's a pretty intimidating title for me if you know ambassador douche go to you guys know I came last year just as a just as a viewer and a fangirl walked around it's very it's very exciting but it's very big and it can 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 there they gave you the little maps but we wanted something the next time 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 host some 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 with soap out of 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 Huston Hollywood and adds 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 that I know it then hell I'm talking about you did a little short earlier this year with a Freddie Wong yes apparently a lot of do that infused me with him because the green glasses but do you see like one shot yeah you're 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 just amazing stunt sequence and it went viral and I think we have over you know five 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 of it I never want to work with them again but 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 mean 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 marry that was very basic but uh but it was blast right it just looked so good alright 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 anyway like a 4k projector is like literally like you could start you can see like four is inside the pores 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 through your screen I mean it's it's amazing and 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 about 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 and adapters and I mean all these wires you don't know what to do with them it's a big tangle box so Wireless to me is huge for sure what about 3d you know people I 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 and I don't I don't wear glasses naturally 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 imaginable 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 somebody ya know I'm just trying to enjoy this 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 done a lot of video game work before you were in that game wet by Bethesda 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 more these little one piece cat suits with little so - actually when I saw the game see myself we acted out the fees 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 to do though because you they move so fast and I mean look you got a particular game that you're playing right now or that you like last night we got a little sneak peek at the new Final Fantasy we were playing some of the guys my brothers are here with me and and my brother is up 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 Petros 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 gotta be on the pulse you got your cool and you gotta be able to play and I was always really competitive growing up with boys always had to play and had to had to be good and and you know gonna have your cred so I want I try to keep up so that I can I can be the cool aunt before we eat the break I you know we a lot of our listeners are super geeky 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 your your accredited what you've never heard of that right is can you tell us anything like that is it actually gonna be just live it won't tell anybody no it's just a rumor I mean I know Dan Aykroyd I've known him for four years no that 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 foot Sam sure just iconic so I will see you guys know first no 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 the liza deuce very low have a great show thank you so much for being here there's a lot more for for coming your way we'll be right back after this this is the 404 mr efforts the show where we all sing yes 2012 so nice people actually watching us live let's not pretend they're actually here we have some familiar faces the fans of the show thank you so much everyone for being here we did and it's getting even bigger than that right now apparently we've got a shot on Justin Bieber that's right Charlie the cameraman is down there where where Justin Bieber is there he's going to announce that he is a he's a robot exactly no no no no he's introducing a robot demoing a robot like company called tozi and if you can get in between these heads and the shot right now everyone wave to Justin oh he looks so good in between people like people are confusing that wave with a different kind of hand sign yeah what's crazy he's right underneath the stage Bieber can it's the future Richard we should just continue cutting back and forth between Bieber cam because that's what people really want to say I think I don't prefer Justin I think all right so we have some news to talk about CNN every year puts on best of CES all the best products from the show become finalist nominations and then of course we award a winner so maybe let's go through a few nominations that were psyched about this shit all right so so what's grabbing your attention Johnson well you know we haven't actually had a chance to talk a lot about apps at the show right but one of the best of CES nominees this year is by a company called or asthma or asthma all right I heard about this is a new augmented reality app okay we're actually looking at it earlier today it's kind of like a QR code reader but without the QR code itself and so our asthma will go around and tag different things this is Kevin what Kevin was talking about they've done it a lot in London if you actually hold your phone up to Buckingham Palace in London they've tagged so that it looks like a bunch of dinosaurs are coming out of Buckingham Palace on your phone that doesn't make any sense yeah they'll go around tagging a bunch of different think it's not only locations but things like a $20 bill will look like it's coming to life and the buildings will pop out and one right so yeah I was talking together yesterday about this no saying that's how you really know that we're in the future when augmented reality absurd this is it Skynet it's really cool that's the next step so I'm hoping that wins for best of CES is you know actually I'm looking at this listen it's nothing that we haven't already sort of already heard okay before I've got like the Sony Xperia S that's the PlayStation Certified right we've got the Motorola Droid 4 this is just like five six months after the third one or two cannot right and Nokia Lumia 900 as well as the HTC Titan or two so all right now we're looking I like big surprises here or is it just for a status quo it feels pretty status quo when it comes to smart phones this year sure you know and it's partly goes into the same reasoning why Microsoft isn't going to come back everybody wants to sort of like own the limelight right okay and it's kind of difficult to do that here at CES there's thousands of products ran out I was a little surprised to not see the Samsung Galaxy Note make its way into the best PC yeah that's right that's like the tenth my vision it's like a tablet phone hybrid kind of thing with a stylus and it's not bringing styli back they really should have had Justin Timberlake promoting that absolutely you know here at CES there are a lot of interesting products a lot of questionably legal products I always find that there's always these Nintendo emulators that somehow are being sold and I don't understand how that's cool playing like yeah that's just you know very skeptical phone on that but Justin you've uncovered some straight-up counterfeit stuff that you think we should be talking about maybe even alerting some sort of authority and being like hey you know you're getting ripped off here yeah we might need to be screening products more at CES because we found a couple things seeing that actually wrote an article lance whitney checking this check this hour here it's a beware of counterfeit tablets that are making their way to CES if you walk around on the floor right now a lot of the ecommerce dealers are selling things like a seven inch Kindle 3 they're just calling it the Kindle how can how are you allowed to do that very desert there's a have like two ends and the it's only $59 so I don't know the specs aren't probably that I just don't understand how it's okay for you to call a product the Kindle three yeah and not expect to you know get the legal whip snapping well they have a lot of sneaky ways of hiding these products like for example there's a nine point seven inch Xoom tablet got a microphone rollers it's not a lot of motorola xoom either just a zoom just you know they change the spelling a little bit also there's a samsung galaxy tablet Samsung two words you can find that on a website I don't understand you get suckered into going to see their booth vetted by something like that yeah well you know Lance board this article yesterday and he was calling out a website alibaba.com their e-commerce website since then they've actually taken down the product so I can't show you the Samsung right they've already been kicked out of this job yeah alright everyone knows who listens to our show we do something called calls from the public we have people call us up so what do you say we get to a few calls before we bring Wayne Brady uh what are you doing about that alright let's do it time to show the love eighty-six 404 CNET are you here the the Microsoft press conference with Steve Ballmer it was true he's like he's a pretty intense dude right he's sort of over the top we had a we had a call that someone basically called up and is trying to do their best Steve Ballmer impersonation so we'd like to share that with you guys if that's something you'd be into let's check it out and wait for videos rolling oh really funny so like the entire time all yours you know my head be abomination voice actor we have very talented Lester's on our program so so I didn't realize the art that color seems to think he sounded inebriated but you know he's just excited yeah yeah he always has that attitude in his press conference like that of course so I'm okay with that yeah then we have a caller who wanted to chime in about the wave of 3d printers that has hit CES Brian taug did a tongue did a demo of one of those let's listen to what our friend has to say about plastic shoes just calling to say I watch the show we talk about 3d printers at CES and it has a plastic that was made from Legos and you guys made shoes myself hey that is probably worst idea ever have a key made of Legos have you ever stepped on a Lego at night they think that's the first ball popped in my head yeah you would think you would not be manufacturing shoes that around everything that it's fine yeah that's not the only thing that those 3d printers can do and actually that's true of them that are nominated for best of CES at scene at this year the that's the MakerBot replicator right and 3d cube okay cube three speaking of new and innovative things here at CES like we said we had the brand new beaver cam we're ready to go back to the beaver cam Justin are you with us oh he's coming oh okay Justin has changed his appearance alright that's live justin beaver below us right now right here is gone he's left the building Bieber has left the building alarming how many adults are actually over there just yeah Justin Bieber another be a lot of grown old guy yeah not as demographic right yeah that's okay think I'm a little more excited to have Wayne Brady up in our eye are you guys excited for Wayne Brady to take the stage in a few minutes yeah all right that's gonna be a lot of fun all right very cool stuff do we have anything else you want to talk about before we hit the break mr. Justin you did you see this higher mind-controlled TV hires a Chinese company okay we're showing off this headset that you put on and it wires wirelessly transmits your thoughts to control a television or video game really do you guys get a demo of this on the CNN floor I did not see it explain it because conceptually I would imagine you would tune to hockey it would just be rocky 2470 on one channel and you have to pay for that yeah it's interesting it's a product called the brainwave and basically what it does is transmits these electronic signals through your brain okay into the television set they're already selling it for about three thousand dollars in China but they're make its making its way to States so now do you know anything about how it works because I just feel like I would have to plug something into my temple it doesn't sound like something you would wear while lying down and watch it's definitely sounds or something from Batman it sounds like something Neil put John before he got right something out of the matrix yeah exactly well you're the video game editor is that something you know you could leave your hands-free for good well I remember they one of the years ago yes they had this sort of apparatus where it was this air controlled ball and you use your you've gotta concentrate on how much air power was going to be shot out of this mechanism and right I mean some people were able to make it work but I put it on it it was registered I'm an old-fashioned guy call me crazy but I like playing games with my fingers yeah you're Elijah absolutely all right apparently Justin Bieber is back we're getting a word he's back in view Oh and there so this is I guess like the intro for the robot that they're introducing that justin is helping to you know break the ice with here at CES yeah that's really exciting robots this year we were talking to lies about it earlier but you know I Robot right those shoes I make the Roomba vacuum cleaner right they came out with their new Ava test bed that they were demonstrating here it's a little yellow robot that has an iPad on top and then it also detects motion sensing around it so that it won't get clotheslined by tabletop other people walking around right but it's kind of interesting they're saying that the best use case scenario is going to be in hospitals to help the elderly around well that's nice mr. Richard because we all know that the elderly loved the latest technology they're not freed up by robots yeah they love learning new things I mean that's the first thing I was thinking of let's give these elderly people experience with a robot walking to a bed and like lifting you out yeah we can we covered robots a lot on our show we always have like Oh check out this robot you know hula-hoop yeah whatever something like that I feel like what's the next step like what do you where do you think robots are really going cuz I as far as I'm concerned whenever they can get them to run that's like always a big deal you know look it's running back and forth right all right now what if we can get a robot to explain to my mother that the pictures folder on my computer isn't a website need a robot for that too much that's a little that's asking a lot we're talking about like 3d printers like one day like the robot plus the 3d printer right like that is the matrix that you know sky in it you know in real life yeah absolutely I real quick before we hit our break I wanted to bring this up apparently everyone knows Apple is never ever here at CES they don't like doing that they like doing their own thing that's fine but apparently they have 250 stealth ninjas or stealth spies if you like roaming the floors at CES I'm looking for them now any of you format they're not wearing their boots right unfortunately well if you're walking around the showroom floor you might be have a chance to spot Greg Joswiak the jaws of the iOS product market yes someone actually spotted him lurking around the CES showroom floor which is kind of ironic because they always claim to not care about what the copyright hears was funny he was quoted as saying that that he was scoping out some of the aesthetics of the show booths okay which sounds like completely has to be looking at products poor people ripping off the Apple products I mean like we've already earlier talking about copycats in hello apparently has a Ultrabook that looks exactly like the Apple book air without the Apple logo on the front it's just a circle right the only thing Wilson takes personal exception tonight now the Big Apple fanboy no one better touches Apple but I mean they're there they're here obviously I we think they're scouting out the competition and it's a smart thing because let's be honest a few manufacturers in terms of you know the the voice-activated televisions kind of beating Apple to the punch on a lot of the technology we're at least delivering it first to market well they've announced a lot sure we haven't actually seen like them being announced you know available in the Best Buy store just yet right but you know it's almost like strangely enough Kinect is more leading the way rygaards right like earlier this or later last year we saw the new dashboard update that gave voice control and motion control and it seems like every TV manufacturers just integrating it into the set sure right so you can just wave it with TV accidentally turn it on by speaking too loudly out on right you know speaking of Apple announcements they actually sent out an invite today to an event on January 19th in New York which will probably be at Cena will definitely be there that's gonna be at the Guggenheim Museum it's supposedly an education event and you know apples always really nebulous about what exactly they're gonna write but people are speculating that it might be adding text books to their iBook store that you guys hear about these rumors Jesse I don't know how I would do with a virtual like an e-book in college right one you can't sell them back at the end of the year which that was my source back and buy beer that was my source of income I don't know you guys in college whenever it was time to sell back it was like cool I'm gonna be able to eat for a week it's basically a glorified pawn shop at you're actually buy like a real textbook though is for like the notes written into like the side of the book or something right right but like I mean I think this is a great thing that all tablet manufacturers should really be jumping into because those books were heavy can you speck every semester about $500 anyway right might as well get an iPad and have them pre-loaded but I also spend my time doodling in there and yeah last time I checked doodling on an e-book textbook for cop it's not really nice ruins yeah you know they should really disable all the other features on the iPad if they're gonna enable text books in the iBook store right because there's just already too many distractions to work with in the classroom already without sending an iPad into the mix right yeah just be watching YouTube videos essentially exactly I don't know I when I think about college and how much has changed since we've been we haven't been we're not that old we haven't been out of college that long yeah and I don't know if we have any current college students here I'm not sure about that but yeah right here I'm always blown away at seeing photos and everyone has a laptop when I was in college no it was like oh man look at that he's so ahead of the curve with a laptop and got it's not something that we were used to but now everyone's you know got one in front of them during lectures it's crazy yeah I've heard about a lot of kids getting jumped for actually using memo pads in the classroom now it is get out of here oh that's right so this is uh this is something that came out on I lounge comm and supposedly I lounge editor-in-chief Jeremy Horowitz thinks he spotted an iPad 3 on the table top of some careless some careless vendor really like like that would ever happen again lilamon bars they've lived in every welcome everywhere leaving one at CES is dropping a bomb I can't believe that that would actually happen yeah well he had some pretty good credibility last year he actually spotted the iPad 2 at CES 2011 which ended up being the real prototype he thinks he did it again this year but the only discernible difference that he could tell because it doesn't power on robotically yeah is that it's one millimeter thicker than the iPad 2 that's not a joke that's a big millimeter can you spot one millimeter how was he able to do that the table yeah but one millimeter yet so I mean that that suggests to a lot of people that will have a higher resolution display right because I apparently have to use like bigger back lights that sort of shine through sure and because of that you'll also need a thicker battery right we'll see people are also speculating that they're gonna have a gorilla grass glass screen right gorilla glass screen on top of it which means you can probably throw it down a staircase and it'll survive that's a great feature everyone I mean is that something like what is it for you I know you have a touch pit so you're nowhere near on the same level I have no concern but if you were to you know get into the market for an iPad 3 something maybe you'd want to buy what sort of feature do you think people are clamoring for the most personally I'm clamoring for the ability to just plug it in use it as a USB drag-and-drop movie backup viewer right you know because that's what HP touch right completely illegal don't ask any questions we're going to take one last break when we come back Duane Brady here on the 404 we will be right back in just a second stick around there's a lot more for coming your way all right welcome back to the 404 streaming live from CES 2012 we're here at the C net stage eagerly awaiting Wayne Brady's arrival but first before we get to mr. Brady it's time to once again check in on Charlie the cameraman with the beaver cam okay Lord has a lot more heads here that's fine he is somewhere can we get him a telephone book perhaps there it is look at those just looking at why isn't anybody screaming why I've yet to hear one scream that's unacceptable that is what he feeds on that is how he sustains life girl do you like Tinker Bell all right Justin you're really you're like a naps guy I know you are your phone is riddled with pointless apps yeah there's some new cool apps that we're really excited about here at CES tell us about that right um well first of all I got into apps just recently over the holiday season right I showed my grandfather something called the cam Wow app that uses like photobooth features okay store your face sure like funhouse sort of exactly melted its face right off your blown away guys everyone have freaked out your grandparents show them something like that yeah but ever since then I had gotten really into apps on my iPhone right this is really cool one of our reporters Erik Mack reported on this from the CES floor it's called Escort Live okay now listen if I told you that I had downloaded an app called Escort Live what would you think at Vegas invaded it only works within the city I don't know it's actually no but actually Escort Live is social radar detection okay speed traps bike off so you know I do know a little bit about that so explain to our drivers well I just had something happen to me this is actually going back a little bit I had a robot give me a speeding ticket is that is that ever happening you guys where this camera takes a photo of your license plate no human was present but you're getting a ticket because I think that's not fair well I mean now you that you have this app you know you'll be able to slow down to the appropriate 35 miles in a school zone right but I mean that seems to me that it would take the attention away off the driving process something that I think is pretty important you know eyes on the road ten and two you know right and that people should really be into when they're going are they gonna change the name of the app because I don't know if that's gonna you know at least of the users that they want an attention-grabber but the idea I think is really cool so basically the first person that sees a cop on the side of the road trying to speed to get ready well that person reports it and that goes into the cloud and then they get pulled over but then the next person behind them is alerted you're taking one for the team that kind of thing and like you can see exactly how many people have warned others about speed traps right and then every 90 minutes it clears out the database because obviously there they move brakes and rope so yeah it's a good way for crowdsource take it's like this new sort of almost radar detector you know not one that's mounted that doesn't shut up on your windshield but one word a legal one yeah I guess but you know what if you don't have service there maybe you know you don't get you'll get caught in this trap that's that's sort of a bummer right right right yeah do you really want people using looking at wall are driving down the road it seems safe to me alright there's another the the one of the biggest reasons why car accidents happen is because someone gets distracted looking at I think it's I think it's makeup putting makeup makeup and shaving yeah there's another app you're excited about the dog litter no those are really cool app on this is actually built into Android and iPhones but last year you know how Google Maps integrated indoor mapping so that you could take tours of things like airports really malls and stuff like that someone found out that you can actually use google indoor mapping on your Android and iOS phone to map the CES showroom floor real and we all know you know you guys have walked around it gets really confusing China check out the South Hall the North Hall there's all these different arrows right Hathaway sure well if you go to Google Maps indoors on your phone enable that and it'll let you check out exactly where the bathrooms are you can route yourself with search directions and find your way around the showroom so how do now how does that work are you are you with with the photos sort of technology it basically gives you like a panorama version of yeah exactly it's like taking a walking tour in sort view mode you can set like I'm at the Panasonic booth how do I get to the bathroom right it's like oh wait behind this guy pulling how do I follow Justin Bieber around someone should take a panorama in that I would say that speaking of why don't we check into the yeah can we do we have that ability with us right now is going on and go back to the Justin Bieber can what he's doing once again not not tall enough radio they're up there oh we have an eyelash sure okay we have one eyelash I can only imagine how miserable Charlie is right now I mean he's a cool guy but not a huge Justin Bieber fan I don't think so I I hear oh so much about this robot where's the robot no I think you guys might be right Justin Bieber maybe the robot they're showing off I guess so we're still waiting on a Wayne Brady to get here apparently he's here but he's walking he's trying to park or something yeah I didn't know that he was bringing himself here but uh I guess maybe we can look to the audience right now all right what's standing out at CES with you guys what's been the biggest you know product that you've been psyched about anybody feel free raise your hand you'll win a shirt if you just speak how about that yeah yeah is it what do you work for them how much are they paying you sir all right so we have yowza anyone

Brady not to mess with him - he's make you normal cop like Seagal have a badge and realize yeah so how are you enjoying yourself fitzy yes well this is I just walked in to CES right now like I was just assured inside so I plan on spending the afternoon I'm I'm a big technophile and and this says I've got the gotten the opportunity past couple years to actually play here for a few different venues all right now and it's been an amazing experience to be to be able to see the latest things and to touch them and to get stuff ya know this is a this is like a big get free stuff for for geeks and nerds it's the best thing that we we could ever have this is for Christmas this is Christmas pool for people that love electronics girls smiles yeah just give me something that blitz and whistles and I'm content yes because this I can turn off oh look I'm playing with it this is awesome we're talking about games before I found out you're actually a big gamer you're so yeah true you're smirking like you're about to admit something yeah I just lost a few weeks of my life to to Skyrim I am right there with you sir now I'm glad that I'm in a room full of people yeah because in the wrong setting in Vegas you know a guy like you know my cousin had to go yeah that's a that's consumed a bunch of my life and the new the new modern warfare absolutely I've been online playing angry racist 13-year olds from Nebraska for months now what is it with that do they give more copies down there I don't understand how to give is up with that it's a and they're all so young yeah and the youngest ones talk the most crap so actually EA named you one of the 20 most influential gamers last year what did that was that like that was amazing they came on the set of let's make a deal and they had this box and and inside the box was a trophy okay big now not just oh I went down to Al's trophy shop right they went to Tiffany's it had a trophy mate they're all only 20 of these people 2020 would get given out and I got a trophy and they gave me a Letterman's jacket a really cool leather Letterman's jacket I don't even have a right like they make me feel like I just accomplished something but like I should've been walking in slow motion and big music behind me you did it Wayne Brady you wasted your hours gratulations here take it you've earned the end they gave me free games and and and just the title alone because a lot of folks don't know like now but folks don't know that I'm a gamer right and I've been a gamer for here is that it's actually in my contract when I play gigs like out here in Vegas or tour and even the TV show I have to have a ps3 and a 360 in my room you are my idol it's an every writer and see like some guys on TV or movies or not well I need to have the M&Ms and this and getting a crack at these treats as well as I've got my video games I'm good to go because the games keep me from hurting people in real life just killing people left and right because so many people walk up to me with a hay Wain do I have to choke a bitch if you have that every single game you want to go off on someone as well and get the poison out that yes I play I call up Greg Grunberg and and then we get online and we play and we hang out and then you don't have to hurt people I'm totally understandable well is there any other games you're looking forward to or tech you're looking forward to in 2012 in particular yeah like what's your most anticipated games wow you know what i think i've i've kept my head down so much i don't really know what's coming out now what's on the books well there probably be another Call of Duty game I would imagine well there's one all the time and so that yes I'm sort of redundant so movie Call of Duty wats Call of Duty Sacramento when you mentioned that you're into online multiplayer video games but are you also until like social networking games are you like doing the farmville Zynga thing or are you like me and can't stand folks like that okay there's no judgment here part of me wanting to do these shows and whatnot is to show my online love and become a part of the social media family but I have to say with a little bit of scoffing and a teeny bit of derision I judge the farmville because I love video games so I don't judge farmville because I know the social aspect that people get together and blue Oh Jimmy wants to sell me a chicken don't want a chicken in real life I'd go to Georgia yeah so I don't need Jimmy to sell me one online for sure so in videogames I look for a visceral experience that takes me someplace it see it it puts me into another world just like a movie or a book farmville does not put me into another world if I were eight and loved unicorns yes I mean yeah for an eight-year-old for sure yes but I'm not a big fan of home I think I'm gonna try to play that there is one though that I saw that looks interesting the Mafia Wars okay maybe I'll jump in that right if I can't really shoot someone in real time then I don't know if I want if I don't see blood yeah and then if in multiplayer there isn't a talk where where my guy goes so do you feel that you know iPad games are a huge business they're selling millions of these games they're 99 cents a pop super cheap I come from the school of thought that yeah that's nice if I'm in the waiting room and a doctor's office I need a real sort of you know handheld I need buttons to be honest get in there get shopping sushi and I'm cutting strings yeah that's great all the Bible throw birds at as many pigs all day but give me you know buttons gimme triggers have you had a chance to check out the the PlayStation Vita that's coming up have you heard about the Vita you just made me rekt I'm so sorry to share that with everyone but you said you said PlayStation Vita and I got stirred is that wrong that I came to Vegas and nothing else third me yeah did you say PlayStation Vita and now I'm Wow I'm sorry well you're welcome yeah there they have a portable gaming system that's already on Japan coming out here February 22nd I guess I'm gonna get you on why did they get the best stuff first over in Japan so you saw is it a dish so it's downloadable content so it's downloadable games or it's gonna come in like a little card that you pop in on the top they already have Uncharted of you are you familiar come on oh that's fantastic I'm sure a Playstation 3 really because you made me a little skeptical with the card thing because I think we've all seen remember those old-school that that I forget the system that there was a card video game system where it was the wave of the future where you take the cards and you swipe him instead of cartridges right and the cards never worked they banned and the images came out looking like someone smashed your LCD screen yes wasn't didn't take off no this is a different sort of thing I think cartridges are sort of lame but you know they look like little SD cards you pop them in and you know they have a chart adjust fitting on this little micro SD card oh hello I'm waiting for the day where you're gonna have to blow into the now I'm waiting because the great thing about shows like this in technologies this is a 12 2012 you know third 39 so I'm excited as a gamer because I think that my school of gamers my generation you know born in 71 71 72 as we've gotten older now by the time that we turn 60 you'll be able to have virtual reality that is better than anything that you played I hope and yeah that's what I'm hoping that yeah like there's so many diseases that that do that could be cured no get it no okay don't worry about that that'll fix it I want to be on a holodeck so I want my body to be withering away while I'm running away from the farm aliens in in a virtual space you know that's something we bring up all the time you know I'm about to turn 30 I'm Oh still a big gamer I think about when I'm you know at that grandfatherly age am I still going to have that reaction time yes yes as long as your thumbs work as long as this can happen that's it find that like Michael Jackson experience and a black-eyed peas experience but probably for the huge there's a blood type he's experienced oh yeah Wow yeah are you into the dancing games yes I just got Just Dance 3 all right and now we have Just Dance 3 parties and 4 and and I'm gonna start posting my videos online of us playing these men invite folks over because I've got to tell you and this is know I killed that game yes I'm a dancer yeah I killed that game I'm making up my own moves
