They all want.
To get free. Experience.
I am Frank, and I'm with Jonathan.
Hey, hey. And Daniel.
Hola. Hola, man.
We are a bilingual podcast.
We are no fly by night.
So you all right?
So we're going to dig into some news real quick.
And we are looking at a new trailer for Happy Death Day to you.
We had John saw that or watch for glass of new trailer for that.
And I'm sitting next to him like oh, I'm so proud of this guy
because it's coming up. February 14th there.
How, Valentine's Day, that is my Valentine's Day plan.
How much am I certain I didn't do.
But I'm never going to go see the movie. Samantha.
I'm like, no, I'm a special guy. I deserve,
but you haven't seen didn't.
This one.
But the first one. To me, it didn't look interesting enough.
I mean, of course, my wife's a really scary movie,
so I don't see a afraid of serious commercial.
Yeah, or suspense or, you know.
That's what you. That's driving twice.
I don't really know.
He's really scared.
So I don't see a lot of scary movies anymore.
So I gotta be selective when I want to go see him, for sure.
I mean, I'm always available, so if you ever want to see
if you ever watch every Thursday, no version. No.
It was.
So basically, it's like a great, Groundhog's Day, right?
Kind of a final destination, too.
Yeah, but it's basically Groundhog Day even referenced Groundhog Day at the end,
which is a nice little joke, like, yeah, when I repeat them off there.
But it's I thought it was a good movie.
It didn't take its toll self too seriously,
but it was still very fun for me.
The trailer for two does look better than number one.
Even I I'm seeing number one.
To me, it looks like they're just gonna, like, really ratchet everything up. So,
tree going to go from the first one.
She basically returns to the loop. Yeah.
And but it's changed now to where instead of just her being killed,
all her friends are being killed.
And she's got to figure out how to save them.
And if she does it, she can leave the loop at any time unless you choose herself.
So she has to purposely kill herself this time
so that she can reset the loop and try to save them.
So it's kind of really interesting too, is
I think they're actually leaning more to the final destination aspect of it,
because it's like it's skipped a day and they talked about that,
which is straight up final Destination term.
It's us.
So you know, so I'm going to say that, then we got a John Wick three trailer.
You guys, how much do you guys love John Wick?
I like first one. I've never seen the second one.
Okay. What the hell do I know?
I don't go out watching, I do.
You binged Punisher one single day.
I don't think it was John Wick to do any of the dynamics.
In any of them.
I know you've you've done me before.
Do anything good. Oh, the first one is good.
I think parts of like to like.
First one. Is excellent.
The second one is excellent in a different way
because it's more of the world building.
I love any movie, any franchise, anything that does a little bit of world building.
Yeah.
The a lot more of the hotel and stuff like that in there, which is really quick.
Why don't you think it has a, that's almost but but yeah.
So number three.
Spoiler I'm just gonna give real quick at the end of hotel.
I know John Wick two.
He basically turned on the hotel.
And so now like, you know, unfortunately Ian
McShane is telling, like, we got to hunt you down now.
And so his name, he's now next to me.
Ricardo got a look at the way they say stuff in that movie.
He's no it's communicative.
And so, every assassin in the world after him, it's like a $50 million
bounty on his head.
And so they're all trying to get him.
And one thing I like is, like,
in the trailer for the new one, Ian McShane even, like, well,
every assassination, every assassinate,
every assassin and $50 million in his verses.
John Wick thinks about even so.
Like, that's that's pretty cool.
The one thing I don't like is how he buries now in there,
and she's on his side.
And she hugs the like.
I'm so tired about it.
I, you know, I wish it would always replace her from here on out.
Jada Pinkett Smith oh yeah.
I could see that.
She was great in Gotham.
Yeah, like, if you guys don't know how good she could be, watch Gotham.
She could be nuts.
Go back in the X-Men and imagine her playing storm.
And it would be a perfect storm.
Yeah, that's.
I mean, like, I mean, honestly, in in this,
I'm just like, I know if they're going to pay money
for Holly Barry, she's going to be too big in the story.
Yeah, Morpheus is back and stuff like this. That's cool.
I love Morpheus, I don't remember his real name, but it was just.
Yeah, I know people are screaming into their headphones right now in their cars.
That's me.
Yeah.
God, I can't remember ten minutes. It was it. But.
Yeah. So Holly Barry's going to be in this one.
And it's like, man, okay, but I'm still very excited for it.
Is it supposed to, like, end the trilogy or is this just another scene?
I think it will be ending the trilogy because it'll be the end.
It'll be the either the end of John Wick or the end of all the assassins.
So it's going to be one of the two.
The next thing I wanted to talk about is we have the new Game of Thrones
trailer, a teaser.
It's been out for about a week and a half, but did you guys catch it?
It's the cribs trailer, a teaser.
Oh, thank you. So. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Okay. So. Yeah.
So just a quick rundown of what happened in it, and I can,
I can do a full podcast analyzing just this one teaser.
I'm so excited for Game of Thrones.
They're in the cribs.
It is Jon, Sansa and Arya.
We see the feather fall out of, Leona's hand.
The one that Robert put up there
and then stands up a back up into her hand during the later seasons.
And so it's kind of a little reminder that,
you know, Jon's parentage is about to be discovered.
They're in the crib so that they see that there is a statue of their dad
and stuff like that, and it's dark.
Then they see statues for themselves, and so kind of like, hey,
any of you guys can die.
There's all kinds of theory gravity going on.
And there's already planned like it's going to happen.
Yeah, we just don't allow it.
And then what I love is, you see the winds of winter roll in.
It's like it freezes a feather.
It starts freezing everything up, and they turn around and draw their swords.
It is just like, oh, hype train activated.
Yeah.
I'm super excited.
It's funny because.
So the Arts department has never done a really good job making those statues.
The next one does not look like shopping at all, like they're just not great at it.
But I wonder if there's a reflection of the time to it.
Maybe back then statues were just a representation of the person,
but they could. That could be actually, they maybe they're very I might.
Be realistic, but. Accurate. Exactly.
But what's funny is the statues for the three of them don't look very great.
And the ones for Sansa and Aria look like young Sands and Aria,
but the one they did for Jon Snow looks like an older man.
But then my I think it's just because they did a bad job, but.
And it blew up like, oh my God, Santana, are you going to die this season?
And George will be old.
I know that's not that's not future telling is just really bad art.
Also.
Also in the past, the only way the sculptor knew
what to sculpt was by somebody explaining it to him.
Oh, yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah. They didn't have photos of people.
I remember talking to somebody about that.
Oh yeah.
So it was
it was literally I mean, they would never be a very accurate likeness.
They would say messed up the nose.
But because you have to talk to people who.
Yeah, I've seen his face.
Oh, really? High cheekbones, really dark eyes above us.
How would you describe John is like.
Is like a dude with a beard?
Yeah. He's like that one guy.
Yeah.
He had, like, brown hair. Can you make brown hair in.
A coffee shop?
You kind of like him.
Get it from the coffee shop guy.
Just make it look like that. He goes now.
So I'm super excited about this.
I'm currently participating in the, watches and the law challenge
of watching five episodes a week.
And so I'm almost done with the first season then.
God, it's just it gets me every time.
Oh, I saw a figure three.
I'm gonna talk about real fast because I don't want to get to the Game of Thrones.
Literally can do a seven podcast. Oh, that.
But, somebody was talking about how the braids in Daenerys hair
get more extravagant through the seasons and like,
nobody can figure out why, but then somebody does.
It's easy when you watch the first episode over again,
the Dark 30, they cut off their braids
when they lose a battle, and then they're braids it longer.
When they get, they win a battle.
So as seasons go on, she goes elaborate braids going on.
It's because she's still following the birth.
Reiki roots. Yeah.
She's winning all these battles.
That's cool.
So embrace your husband's.
Heritage,
which I love because she's still she gives props to their authority people.
They still fall under the war.
That's what gave her her power.
Yeah, I just was.
Yeah, in multiple ways.
Not only in literally.
She has an army behind her, but it also empower her to be Khaleesi, you know?
Yeah. Yeah. So she still have dragons?
She has one. She has two.
Okay. I thought they die.
One turned to to, zombie dragon now.
Oh, yeah.
She, you know, you need to watch their own eyes, man.
I can't get, I can't go past the sex scene of the brother and sister.
And I was like, wow. It's like the second episode.
I saw the first episode. Oh, my God, that's horrible.
Go watch the second episode.
So I promise there's a lot less.
They're both actors and they're not really related.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, one's one's American ones are all straight or something like that.
So they're not even in the same country.
Back in the medieval days, it was common because a lot of people around
so say, you know, my sister, she's all right.
Said all the Targaryens did it.
So they're just following the targeting lifestyle.
Yeah, but it was off of sexual excess.
That's a good dark turn.
But it was.
April 14th is the new, Game of Thrones guys, keep up on the,
you guys are ten episodes behind if you're in the challenge with.
Yeah, walkers on the wall.
Some other news I want to talk about.
There's rumors of a Batman new Batman game coming up
all about the court of the owls, which I think is a really good storyline.
If people don't talk about it, it's a lot more of like,
the Wayne family history and how, like, there's that I like I've always loved
how, like, owls are the opposite to bats, you know, because Algérie bats.
So just kind of,
you know, it's one of those things where I just I'm a sucker for it.
Like, hey, that makes sense.
Yeah. So I'm excited for it.
But yeah. So it's a new video game.
You guys play the Arkham Asylum. Arkham games I played.
I think I played one of yours
for, like, maybe a couple hours, but I didn't get too far into it.
So pretty much.
Always a good game.
And I really think, I mean, it's one of those things
where it's like, why are you guys struggling so much?
I'll make a Batman movies.
Just make Arkham Asylum.
Yeah.
Then make Arkham, you know, just follow the Arkham storyline.
It's great story.
You get a whole rogues gallery if you want to
just Joker's voice over the intercom, get Mark Hamill, do it, please.
And then just do.
Joker's voice to the intercom would be fantastic.
I don't, man, does that.
You know, they cut in.
Oh, that was such a good thing in a movie, you know? Yeah.
And Mark Hamill is totally down for it.
You guys have to follow Mark Hamill on Twitter.
He's he's the first person I follow on Twitter.
Yeah. He's hilarious.
Next thing is, this is kind of a, well, I'll talk about this
when Elder Scrolls Online is getting some big content updates.
Have you played. It is on a long time.
So I mean, I know you started out with it, but we're still there for this.
I know you guys have you. There's no. Have you seen this. No.
It was quite a squeeze.
Squeezes at home just like oh my god I love that.
You know Batman I played all the Batman I deserve.
Bloody squeezes have taken the wrong day off.
No, but, you know, it's Elder Scrolls Online.
If you guys haven't played it since the launch, then you're like the rest of us.
Really good game now. Apparently.
Really?
Yeah, when we played it.
Before you get to end game, that is.
Or even if you could get to end game, I remember I got to like level 48 at a 50
and had to go out and kill things. It was a little 50.
There was no a fish.
I gave up. Yeah, got tired of it.
And everybody else of our friends, you know, I paid like 10,000 gold.
I think it is to become a werewolf just because I thought I could sell
the werewolf bite, which I could, but I didn't make my money back.
That was.
See, if you didn't play the game, you have no clue what's going on.
That's.
That's crazy.
So anyway, so it's been getting really good, I guess.
And, one of the things they're adding, necromancer is a new class, coming out.
They're doing a long story over this next year, it's going to be
four big patches for each quarter, and it's going to be continuing the story.
And at the end, a long time waited.
Rival is the Skyrim sized dragons are coming out.
So you'll be walking around, Dragons will be flying overhead
the land, and it'll become an event where as many people
in the area as possible come in and try to kill the dragon and collect goods of it.
So if you guys, you know, talking about where Skyrim,
one of the Dragons role did, it was kind of like a stoppage of doing fight.
This dragon will continue your story. It'll be that.
So if you guys haven't played your soul in a while, there's a lot of changes.
There's like a druid like character now or class.
The shapeshifter will shape into a bear.
Yeah, it's pretty cool. Okay, check it out.
Check it out. Yeah. So I think I'm going to download.
I think I'm gonna give it another shot
because I love Elder Scrolls in show six is still a long ways out.
We might finally see some footage at the next E3.
You guys killing me, taking forever.
Last bit of news.
Some data miners have revealed that Nintendo
has just put two new emulators in their, Nintendo Online service.
Nintendo Online.
You pay $20 a year
and you're able to benefit from like three new games you're putting out.
Well, they just snuck in two emulators in that one emulator.
We don't know what it does. The other one is called canoe.
A canoe is the emulator they use to make or to play Super Nintendo games.
So we should be getting Super Nintendo games through the series.
So they're broadening their ban of what they cover,
releasing more of the original.
Yeah.
And and some of the games that have been there might actual game titles,
Super Mario Kart, Kirby Dreamland three, Super Mario All-Stars,
which is really good on Star Fox
as the original Star Fox distributed Tendo and, contra 3DS classic
Legend of Zelda A link from the past, and there's like 7 or 8 more.
So these are some big heavy hitters.
It's becoming the best deal in video games.
If you like the retro games.
20 bucks for a full year, that's pretty crazy.
Downside is you stop paying the 20 bucks,
the games are gone when like an Xbox games, your goal.
Those games are in your library forever. Yeah.
So it's kind of like the opposite. Yeah.
So that's pretty cool.
But that's the.
Last bit of news that we'll be talking about our topics for the day,
unless is any other news. What are you guys like?
What are you watching or not? Daniel, what are you into right now?
I'm watching.
Well, I was watching Punisher two.
Now I'm watching Black Butler. The anime.
Yeah. How's it going so far?
It's okay.
It's slow. Yeah, interesting.
I don't know,
I'm just trying to watch it, honestly.
Just trying to get to more anime.
You're an anime guy, so you got to keep us up another hound?
Yeah.
Right now, there's nothing really good.
There's really nothing good. Yeah, but.
Yeah.
That's all right.
Yeah. All right.
And then what are you. Are you playing anything good?
I know I've been seeing. You in this league.
Just on the league, I if I I'll play league or Madden 19 I really.
Clinton Batman.
Yeah I'm bored.
Yeah. That's that's a sign of boredom or. Dad what are you guys I.
Got another I just watching old episodes of like supernatural.
Yeah. Or something like that. Getting ready for that 300th episode
about our last episode.
Guys, check it out.
All right, what do you plan on watching?
I've been. I've been rewatching Voyager all over again.
Now, again, good choice. Just had a 24th anniversary.
Yeah, but I'm just, like, at a point
where I'm trying to find a new series to watch.
I've been watching, or Orville again to see.
But it's a good show.
But I want to find something good. The real thing.
But, next time a movie has to go on about Skyrim so I could start.
Yeah, I know it's.
There's a thing I need to get into that new game.
There's tons of games.
I have several games
I barely played, and you have a ton of games
that I can borrow and play the deep storyline stuff.
So I have a PC and I have it on switch.
What would you say please?
PC and the team. And.
Frankly, we're at Best
Buy that Oblivion on Xbox One for like ten bucks more.
Oh, I. Know what a good purchase too.
No, I have it on 360. I don't know if it's backwards the battle.
But I think it might be okay.
That's a good game. I want to someday review Skyrim.
So yeah, you play Skyrim and then we'll talk about it.
Yeah, because I want to review and I want to talk about the difference in Skyrim.
And I can never finish those games.
Oh my favorites.
It's so. Good. It's just like fallout.
I get a headache.
Yeah, it's too open.
So I love open games like that though.
This is Skyrim is like the most open game.
Yeah. And it's set the bar now.
Everybody's always like it's now baby.
The Skyrim like that's always like ascendancy was here
and Skyrim came out like 212 or something like that.
Or it's another game.
Yeah, the Roy Remastered animated VR version,
but it's still always kind of the bar that I was talking about.
The game, it's funny you mention it because the game I'm playing right now
is Skyrim on the switch.
I've been really busy with that at the house of,
like, getting our studio ready,
so I haven't really had a chance to buy too much Civ six.
I've got some people
that are waiting for me to get on, and I talked to them in discord about it.
I'm playing that.
I'm playing Smash Brothers a little bit.
I'm playing a little bit of that, basically,
but mostly those two and playing around with other games, trying to race myself
in, in the old Super Mario Brothers, like the 85 version.
Try to see if I can get to the end of the the eighth world.
But yeah, that's pretty much it.
I'm not really watching much of anything because I'm lazy.
I've been rewatching,
well, I've been doing the Game of Thrones challenge. Yeah.
And I'm doing the,
I'm watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine
because I had trying to save up the new episodes like a Bingham.
Yeah.
And I'm trying to catch up on
not catch up, but just refresh myself on all the old ones.
I can't get all that old on the show.
Did you see you watch the new season of the series in 14 minutes?
No, I know okay.
I'm waiting to get everything set up in the new house.
I can just sit on my couch and relax and catch up on all my Netflix.
I was a little bit disappointed with the end of it, but is this it's.
Is it a series finale or a season finale series, you know?
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. End of it off.
That's terrible.
Yeah, I was just like, really?
You just said me, like,
circling around a drain for so long for it to end like this.
Like, I don't know, I. Don't want it to end.
Yeah, exactly. I just love that intro so much.
Okay, guys.
So let's going into our topics.
The first topic I want to talk about is Activision's attack on Blizzard.
This is going to be a big one.
Laura be talking from me today.
Yeah, we have 17 minutes.
I'm gonna try to keep this under an hour.
Yeah.
So a few years back in Activision Blizzard.
So they merged together, actually merged with the parent company, within Vivendi.
That was in 2008.
They merged.
And since then everybody was worried at the time because Blizzard has been kind
of like that company that cared for you is a smaller company.
They love their fans first.
And Activision is not known for that.
You know, pitfall was their big hit.
And after that they kind of just took over the world,
you know, this merger before and then you guys see how quality
the games are, right?
I mean, it's like every year and you call it a game,
but nobody cares about changes. You know?
So when that company buys your favorite company, your little worry
and and over Christmas break, there was a real big hoopla
we've already seen,
like Michael Moore and Himes leaving their the great, developer over at, Blizzard.
He's the co-founder.
So people have been worried and over Christmas break, something happened
that really got people up in arms.
What it is, is they have the cash up on me,
the amounts you buy, amounts of whatever.
And now what they did for the first time, that amounts wise is they said,
hey guys, here's a sale on amounts.
And then they're going away for a while.
And so is that kind of like that false scarcity.
Yeah.
You know, and and what it was is like, hey, you guys buy these,
you don't have a chance. You know, it's kind of a real money grab.
And a cash up already was something that was kind of scratching people the
wrong way.
And stuff like that.
So then when they did this whole scarcity thing,
it just really kind of raised the whole Activision's effect on Blizzard.
Did they take the mouse away after they're gone?
Not. All mouse, but a selection of them.
There was at least selling ones.
Any reason to do that?
No. Yeah, that's the problem.
There was no storage space to put that stuff on there.
It's just yeah, it's all cloud storage is there?
It's not like those guys are gone.
It's just the doors are closed on them.
There's no reason to do that.
And then, so yeah. So that kind of rules.
Everybody rubbed everybody the wrong way.
It Activision being greedy.
And then some other big news happened in Bungie
into leaving their ten year deal early with,
Activision.
What's going on here is Bungie was an independent developer.
They're made Halo and now they're making Destiny.
And Activision was their publisher.
Neither company was happy with how things were going.
Activision needed them for their fall bump.
So you have a year, a year finances every month.
Every quarter needs to be profitable.
The bump was always it.
Hey guys, you need to come out with something from
from for Destiny expansion or new game
funds.
You felt pressure because they were like, look,
we left Microsoft and all this other stuff because we didn't want to worry about.
That's the reason we left Halo behind.
Yeah,
we just wanted to make a game that we enjoyed and now we're stuck
because we're going with you guys to the publisher.
And so neither company was happy in the fans a bunch.
But of Destiny were happy. Right.
And then you play Destiny in the beginning was kind of a dud, right.
Because garbage is
there.
There wasn't enough content.
Yeah. Exactly. Because the game was rushed.
It came out a little bit too soon.
But they had hit that fall timeline.
That was major for investors, not for gamers.
Exactly. Yeah.
So when they left the it was a really good sigh of relief
for all the Budgie fans or the Disney fans,
because now they even said, like, we're going to hold off on Destiny three.
We're going to focus on this game.
It's a lot more attention to what the fans want,
which keeps the loyalty up, which is how you make your money.
The profit margins aren't excellent, but you don't necessarily need them to be
just to be able to stay alive.
Then this gave hope to everybody that was a Blizzard fan,
because it was like there's all kinds of memes.
It came out afterwards, you know?
But the one thing that's important to understand
is that Blizzard isn't owned or a publisher of Activision.
They're merged and there's the company name now
after 2008 is Activision Blizzard.
And then there's two subsidiaries of that.
One is Activision Games and one is Blizzard Entertainment.
Okay.
And so, a couple other controversies over Activision is,
the $50 million pay off for the new CEO.
When they had a layoff, they had a layoff of 100 people
over at Activision, and then they paid for a new CEO.
They gave him $15 million bonus. Signing bonus.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
They've been doing the mark of shame for, Call of Duty,
which was only for a few hours, but it really upset everybody.
So Call of Duty is always been a thing where like,
you have the new DLC and I don't.
And so when we go play together in Call of Duty, I,
we just can't use the maps that you own. We all have to use these maps.
Yeah.
Well, what they did was they kind of put like this
yellow triangle next to the person's name who didn't own the DLC.
Yeah, everybody can see it. So it's kind of like a marker shame.
Like, oh, you couldn't afford the DLC so everybody sees you could afford it, but.
Right.
It only lasted for a few hours.
Activision was like, oh no, that was an accident.
We promise.
After everybody was out crying over it
like, dude, what the hell, I don't want to buy this game.
You know?
And then there and then the one little thing
that was super funny was it just got everybody mad, was they sold
a red dot for like, like just a red dot on somebody.
Wasn't even, like a new scope. It was kind of like a new scope.
But a red dot to show up on somebody was a dollar.
It was just a dollar.
You got this little red dot. You can see how people,
if people were like, I bought this game for 60 bucks.
Yeah. Give me the red dots.
Yeah, yeah. Why do I have to pay an extra dollar for a red dot?
So there's outcry over that.
If people felt like, oh, you know, this is just more Activision greediness.
One thing to keep in mind, too, for the whole
why this will never happen, or one thing you need to remember
is, people and people wanted Blizzard to leave.
Another reason bungee was able to leave is they got $100 million invested
from a Chinese firm called NetEase, and everybody who's real big on
gaming knows what NetEase is because they make mobile games.
So bungee just got
a huge share.
But a buyout from a company that makes mobile games, which means
if you're a bungee fan, yeah, you lost Activision.
But you also the things that the most mobile games
just about everybody your company.
Good chance you're going to see a mobile
Destiny tie and you know say something you don't want.
And and so and then one of the things I wanted to bring up to is,
so beforehand I was a guy who was like Activision actually, and Activision.
So I did some research on this.
And then I found out that personally, I found out that, like,
there is some good ambassadors and I think it's going to be okay.
So I kind of wanted to run down the before and after interview like that.
So, before the buyout, we had Warcraft in 94.
The two came out in 95.
We had Diablo. Was 96, StarCraft one.
I love StarCraft money River blind de Diablo two
was in 2000, work three 2002 and wow in 2004.
So that was all pre merger.
Right after the merger we had StarCraft two and 2010, Diablo three.
First Stone in 2014, 2012, 2014
heroes of the storm 2015 Overwatch 2016.
Then expansions were always two years for all the work.
I was always two years apart.
So what I wanted to show there was we ended up getting an important notice
before the merger.
Nine games were canceled that were in development a blizzard
after the merger, only one game was canceled Project Titan,
which was eventually turned into Overwatch.
So with Activision in charge,
we're getting more Blizzard content, so it's more the games.
You love it. We had droughts beforehand.
Now we're getting games every year and different IP.
The the bad part is that yes,
the scheduling of game releases became really important,
but the good part is that we didn't have to wait too long for stuff.
Even patch releases became more regular because they were a bump in subscriptions.
But with, like you were saying before, are these things being rushed out to where
there were remedial updates or patches that you don't you shouldn't have to,
or changes you should have to pay for?
Yeah. See, that's the thing is.
And sometimes they work, right.
Well, Warcraft me and Daniel both know that sometimes patches come out.
They're just too early. Right? Yeah.
They crash the game.
Yeah. I mean, BFA was a disaster.
If you're on my server, you literally couldn't play
for the first five hours of the expansion when everybody's racing to finish.
People enjoy my game. When it came out.
So yeah.
Daniel's under our old server and it was pretty chill over there
when I'm secondaries and like area 52 and stuff like that, they couldn't get in.
But one thing that's important to note is
Blizzard
can affect Activision just like Activision can affect Blizzard.
So yeah, we're seeing an increase in production and increase in things
coming out.
But we're also seeing that splash back a little bit
to where so for example, as in Overwatch, every game has loot boxes, right?
Nowadays every game coming out has a version of the Xbox,
even shadow mode or Shadow or Shadow of War had that.
It's real weird system.
Why did you guys have to put in? It's because it's for cash.
The less cash on the back end.
But what was different about Overwatch is you can literally earn the cash reward.
You can. Yeah.
So if you play, you get these gold tokens
or you would randomly unlock the things that would be in boxes.
You'd randomly get boxes every time you level up
so you could actually earn them.
It just took a lot of playing, but it was still learnable.
Oh, you earn stuff that you normally buy a catch.
Yeah.
So you get these when you access,
you would earn like a deposit into your bank account.
You don't get cash.
Steam does that. But no no not Blizzard not.
Yeah they did something with it.
But remember when Diablo had an auction
as it could do that has a big deal back in the day. Yeah.
But yeah. So there's loot boxes that'll have skins or whatever.
And then you can buy some for cash or you just play enough and earn that.
Yeah, I think that's awesome. That's how Blizzard does things.
That's how.
So it's Activision with the fact there's a loot box at all.
But it's Blizzard saying hold on, we need to make sure we can earn.
Yeah, here's a storm, which is basically their League of Legends copy
unlike League of Legends. Well League legend does it now.
But you can actually earn the skin too by playing it up and stuff like that.
So it's kind of like a,
you know, a tit for tat and you get a little bit of Activision Blizzard.
Yeah, I think we're starting to see the future in microtransactions.
We're not going to get around them. They're just coming. Yeah.
But we need to be happy
that at least Blizzard's involved in the microtransactions.
So we're kind of getting a little bit of both.
Yeah, but what about the big Diablo thing?
Oh, do you think it was Activision that force them to go with the mobile.
Yeah I think ours is.
That was a mistake. Yeah.
So as Daniel alluded, there was it's called Diablo Immortal.
And when we went to BlizzCon, me and Daniel for the
we were talking on the podcast,
and we were excited for Diablo four.
I mean, all the hype for Diablo four is super exciting.
Diablo three is great, but it's time for a new one.
And when you got there, it was,
It was just a port, a mobile game, Double Immortal.
And they literally got booed at this time.
That's insane.
People paid 200 bucks a ticket to be there because of Blizzard fans for their,
what, seven IPS at most?
And they got booed for one of them. That's nuts.
And then the response that's the worst part is Blizzard response.
I don't know if everybody's on Blizzard responses like, what?
You guys are on phones?
Oh yeah.
Oh my God, that meme has been used over and over again.
Now. And what you guys on on phones.
So that was very Activision.
Yeah.
The other game that got booed and it was actually before the cameras came on.
I think for most people,
if you were at Blizzard, you saw or if you had less than you saw it,
but Disney came out to announce that Destiny two
was going to be free for a couple weeks.
They got booed because it was more Activision just
Activision is not love the most classic because it feels like the rumors.
Yeah.
But I
want to kind of just say overall that like, it'll be okay.
I have so much to write down that I'm gonna get lost in it, but
basically is if we need to keep Blizzard
and Activision honest, I don't expect them to split.
Don't expect that to happen.
Then merged company.
If it does leave, it'll be
because it was sold to another company, so it won't be good for us.
Yeah, if I do leave.
But what we need to do is just keep them honest, keep up on the forums,
keep on Twitter.
When we see that Activision has too much influence, then me too greedy.
We got to push back and push back. Yeah.
Make it heard that the the consumer doesn't like this kind of product.
Yeah remember Blizzard is out there for you guys.
There's a lot of the same company I know Michael Mike morning left
which was like always in our corner.
But if we keep them honest, we'll be good.
You guys gotta make sure to hit them on Twitter, hit them on the forums.
They definitely listen to their own forums.
And keep them keep them legit.
And this could be an example of how Ubisoft does things.
Seems really good about this kind of stuff, which is, you know, valve.
Yeah.
And we just have to really be on top of them.
If you guys want more information on this kind of stuff.
Billionaire gaming. Everybody. Most.
While players know who your gaming is, he has built our news.
A lot of my information came from him.
Tell you that?
Never tell me the BlizzCon.
They also have a lot of information on this.
Just kind of keep up on this guy.
So let's keep our companies legit, because if not, they'll then run away with it.
Yeah, but I think Blizzard is the perfect example of how we can let them make money
and, stay happy.
And I'm sure a lot of times Blizzard knows what we want.
But when they're working with Activision and Activision fighting to get the,
you know, dollars and cents out of it, Blizzard needs that material that,
that proof that we want what we want.
So yeah, we're shouting on the forums, making it loud and clear
that they can bring it up to say, hey, this is what they're asking for.
They don't want it the way you're doing it.
We need to do it like this to keep our customers. Yeah.
The best example of Blizzard listening to us would be for a lot of Draenor.
Got to be the worst expansion ever right there.
Kara.
Yeah,
that's.
The best response here, right?
Cataclysm was rough. Yeah.
And what's funny is everybody's
like, oh, everything's been bad as a kind of cousin was in development
before Activision came in. So, but yeah.
But yeah.
So Draenor when it cataclysm.
I don't mind it though. I like Vayner.
I think Draenor for you and me was a little different than most,
because that was when we relaunched our guild.
So guys have a lot of our friends back.
We got back into raiding hardcore.
So that was kind of nice expansion for us,
but for most people they didn't care for it.
It was meant to.
That was when they would change the business plan
to be a new expansion every year.
Could you imagine if they did it?
Yeah, that was Activision 100%.
That, was a, expansion that our guild died.
Yeah. That's funny. Yeah I didn't
we gave up on that.
I remember that night when I was just like, you know what, guys?
I don't want to go to work anymore.
Let's just stop playing video games, you know?
But. Yeah.
So when Blizzard heard all the outcry and after it was under Draenor,
they retooled a lot of their stuff.
They took the information they had from Journal, and they created Legion.
And that was arguably the best expansion ever.
Yeah, I have to say even better than wrath.
And I know for people who haven't played well since wrath,
I think I'm nuts right now.
That was a better expansion than then.
Rats glitching.
So, you know, it's just one of those things where they, they listen to us.
Yeah, with their own eyes.
It's just like they
they listen to us and then us and everybody's, like, complaining again.
Like, now there's two vehicles.
What's up with the artifact?
And then I. Oh, okay. Let's tweak this red.
Thank you.
Let's say offense is good, but then sometimes it's not.
They do overdo things sometimes.
And sometimes they'll give us
the whole like, well, trust me, guys, but, you know, it takes a couple patches
sometimes to shut up and just do what we say.
The artifacts a good example.
So right now they have the artifact. Nicolas.
For a long time, people like this is garbage.
It's a waste of my space.
Well, they're actually adding stuff to it.
Next patch.
I would add. Yeah, exactly.
So there is some stuff the artifact system was.
I don't like the new tiers that the adds right there.
Yeah. As right. Yeah.
That's what I mean. Yeah. That's right. Yeah.
Just a dumpster fire.
And what's hard is it's such a vital part of BFA
battle for Azure at the current expansion that they can't shake it.
They they've changed a lot of it up
now to where now it's almost a new piece of gear.
It's you do unlock everything right away and they have extra rings on.
They're trying to make it better, but it's really kind of just garbage.
I mean, they could still do something like that
and could just say, all right, where we going to take our way?
All the abilities, the talent trees out of the does change it to a talent tree.
Your own talent tree. Yeah.
And then go back to your set.
New. Would you rather have tier sets or. Okay.
So a town tree would be like you remember the talent tree that came in, in
Legion of the Legion you used once?
That one thing was like dark and light talent trees.
Would you like that system put into the gear,
or would you just want to split up tiers?
Oh, go.
Back to, what, the wrath down tree?
Maybe you could do.
A full on injuries.
Yeah, that's what they should do.
While classic babies come this summer.
Yeah. Oh, man.
I want to.
But that was just horrible.
I forgot there's no quest helper.
Yeah. You can't.
We got to demo right now. You just.
You're just suffering.
You had to read the quest. Remember how slow the quest came out?
Because it actually came out like reading speed.
Like somebody was talking to. Yeah. Oh, man.
And you had to read the question, say like, oh, go east to kill some zebras
and stuff like that.
And then we found it like, no, the quest was wrong.
We had to go west.
We don't have.
So it was like it's unreliable too.
Like, oh my God, I forgot how bad this game was back in the day.
I can't wait to play it again.
It's funny.
Did you watch you watch Asmongold Variance?
Oh yeah. Yeah yeah yeah.
They did the, wild classic and they did like a horde
running around that whole band and.
Yeah.
And it was like killing monsters, just like a whole,
like just group of people was.
Literally a horde. Yeah, it was hilarious.
This is running around, and circle is killing beings.
I'm excited, I think.
Are you gonna be playing classic when it comes out?
I'll try it.
Yeah, we gotta do, we gotta do, like, we gotta do a thing about it.
Maybe, like, on that or some like that.
Like we used to. Know uncle. Or so much older.
Now, though, it feels like our last all nighter did not last for love.
I was.
Like, bingeing coffee.
Like, back of the day.
Yeah, back in the day.
We used to do, like, you miss it, like, two days straight.
And we were loopy at the end of.
We used to overdo and now we're just like, yeah, I don't need I like slow tonight.
Yeah I like sleepy.
Good.
So all there.
All right.
So, anything else you guys wanna talk about?
Activision and the effect of big companies buy a lot of companies.
I don't even know why they even try to buy it.
Like, Blizzard was doing fine without them.
But yeah, it was
it was just a merger of two companies, and they both got a piece of it.
And, and it wasn't even Blizzard.
It was the parent company of Blizzard that did it.
But I kind of really was ashamed too, I think.
I think Bowser would have done fine with that.
There was a lot of bad things Bowser did beforehand, but they responded faster.
Yeah, but you go a huge company that don't really love.
How do you think you're doing all that? Activision,
do you think they need Activision, that structure to keep them afloat?
Now if they have a really bad, bad, expansion come out, would they be
successful or was well, aiming to eventually wouldn't have single them?
Yeah, I think the loyalty the fans would have kept it alive.
But I think I think the benefit of Activision
has been in the launcher I think was more Activision.
I think the ability to like the social aspect of Blizzard
was all Activision, the old library and like the cash of the tokens.
So a lot of people, you know, if you're one of the poorer members of, well,
you hate the tokens, but if you're a richer member of wow,
I mean, the tokens have been a God bless
because we've been able to pay for our subscription with gold.
I mean, it was a I bought Call of Duty with gold.
I bought, like, I'm able to buy the Blizzard
library and Activision library at this point, all with gold.
So that's kind of nice, you know?
Yeah, they just keep you keep you as a devout player because that that aspect.
Right.
But but and that's the thing with add ons and stuff like that.
Like I could anybody who ever hit me up on Twitter
or some like that who need help making gold, I can.
I've said a lot of my gillies up with enough tools to passively make gold.
Just keeping up actions is, you know, it's like maybe half an hour a day
making enough gold to pay for you and your friends.
I mean, really, it's it's pretty easy, with trade skill mastery. So.
All right, so let's get into our next topic real quick.
And again,
it's going to be a lot of talking for me because I have both of our topics today.
But I want to talk about MoviePass.
All right. We're getting into the season for movies.
All you need just watch glasses is like a bunch of movies I want to watch.
Yeah, it I think it's I think us is going to be the next one
I'm super looking forward to.
And I'm super scared of how might be watching it, like from the Doors
and kind of peek in and out a little bit in the back of the theater.
But yeah, so MoviePass is great.
I mean, I binge the heck out of movies last season, last year, using MoviePass,
I think I probably went how many times do you think you went to the movies.
With MoviePass, with MoviePass even, like, like three times. Really?
Yeah.
I mean, I'm going to talk I'm not going to let it 2530 wow.
Oh, wow. I'm not.
Gonna lie. I used it a whole lot.
Because I'm the kind of guy I know people can be, like I said,
but honestly, I'm the kind of guy I love go to the movies by myself, I love it.
I randomly, I just watch like them in like a couple months,
a couple weeks the same way.
I just love going like middle of the day.
If I got the day free, let's go watch a movie. You know.
As I have a wife now.
So if I
go to the movies without asking, like, why did you go to the movies without me?
But if I bring her this movie.
Okay, we're going to watch chick flick or something
because she doesn't like scary movies.
They are all just hit me up.
I'm always available to get in the habit for me.
I just got to make sure the dogs ride so good, you know?
And you never really movie pass right now.
Are you anxious to buy a movie pass replacement?
That's all we're talking about.
You guys always try to find me to watch a movie, and I'm like, there, now.
I'm watching anime and sleeping.
Most of the times.
So I don't want to spend money because I know it doesn't cost that much.
But it's like the gas.
Now, I know I'm literally lying to them when I do this.
I'm just like, I'll just stay home to save money.
All right? Daniel's been a responsible adult.
We're talking about movie pass replacements.
So I'm going to go over a couple of them that I've been researching, and,
I'm going to go with one of these, and we're going to decide
which one I'm going to stick with after this. All right.
So my first one that I'm thinking about is Cinemark Movie Club.
So this is one that's only at Cinemark Theaters.
Price would be like century 16.
You know there's probably the best cinema theater in us.
It's only going to the Cinemark.
It gives a discount on concessions, 20% off the concessions.
They have a rollover ticket for one single ticket.
So if you don't go in March, you now have two tickets for April.
So that's kind of nice. And every other month.
Yeah.
If you don't go.
In and you can also buy an additional ticket for the same price
that you're buying your monthly ticket, it costs $9 a month.
So that extra tickets $9.
But we just went the movie was like 13 bucks.
Yeah, about $13 a ticket.
So you're saving a little bit of money there?
Yeah, but you're not going to movies every month.
Oh. You're not go to the movies. Yeah.
And that's what they make. That's what they make profit.
Honestly, a lot of people, it's like a gym membership.
We might go, you know, regularly and we might go every month,
you know, on the first of the month, but you might go every third month.
So they actually forgot me.
So that's actually what
what MoviePass MoviePass is business plan was, was to do that.
And that's a nice thing too.
This provides the online ticketing.
So you can actually sit at home on the app, book your actual seat.
Then get that kind of cool.
On your way or nearby.
Yeah. So that's pretty neat.
Do. You still use a,
card like MoviePass did where you get a Mastercard or something like that?
You know, I don't. Know, I think you make it to the app.
It's probably on the.
Barcode, QR.
Codes, because they're all about just QR codes over there.
So yeah, that's $9 a month.
You get the one ticket.
It's only for 2D.
No 3D, no Imax, and you can pay extra for that.
I but I really feel the need to see a 3D Imax movie anyway.
It's like, well, one time I watch Mission Impossible Fallout and Imax is like,
I haven't seen Imax since I was a kid. I'm going to go watch one fall.
That was good.
I love baseball, I went to go watch it.
The problem was I watched that Delta Force problem was not recliners.
And I'm such so spoiled now.
But I'm like problems. If I don't.
Have recliners in my theaters and are going high heels, gets blown out.
Where's my foot massage?
Yeah.
This is where peasants sit.
You know, there's mud. Every guy here.
This must be what coach feels like.
So it's like, So I was like, okay, I never watch an Imax again.
So that's my first choice.
$9, one movie, 20% off food and drinks.
But it's one movie per month. That's one promo, one movie promote.
That's not bad. And it said Cinemark.
It is like the theater. I probably go to the movies. Yeah.
Next one is cinema.
A cinema?
Been around for a long time, actually since 2014.
To me that's nice because it's a little bit stability.
Yeah, I've been tested.
Yeah.
MoviePass is such you know, you don't know if I got a change of price or what we.
Continue to change it on site.
But let. Yeah.
So from there you have different prices.
You can get either one ticket or three tickets a month.
And if you can either be billed annually or build a $20
initial membership and then pay month a month.
The key with this guys is if you can afford it,
go with the annual plan because they always have deals.
And so there's a summer deal there.
Right now
there's like the New Year's deal, there's a Christmas deal, stuff like that.
When there's a deal, they're substantially cheaper.
So if you block in a year's value for that price, you're making a lot of money.
So the normal plan is $20 a month.
No, the normal plan is $20 initially for the monthly plan I'm going to go over
each of them.
So so for example,
they're classics, which,
so for example, one movie a month
with no Imax, no 3D is $4 for one movie month.
That's what the deal.
Now, if there is not a deal, it's $13 a month.
Oh, big difference. Big difference. Yeah.
So if you were to buy the four year plan, you buy it for the $4 a month.
If you got a month, a month, then you'll get $4 here and there.
But when it's not, it's $13 a month.
You know, there are three movies a month is only $8 a month or $33 a month.
They really get you with that.
And then they have all movies.
You can watch a movie every day like MoviePass used to be, for $30
a month or $90 a month.
See how big of a difference is?
And then they have the that's the classic plan.
The elite plan, which includes 3D and Imax,
is either two movies or three movies, and that's $10 a month or $15 a month.
I'm just going to assume people are going to go for a better deal.
Yeah, if you can afford it.
You know, even like if you were to go to the,
I think a three movie a month, one $8 a month, you know, times 12,
I don't have a math magician here, but
it would be $96.
So say a 96 bucks, 96 bucks, one time payment.
But you're watching three movies a month for, you know, the whole year.
And, I mean, if watches 3D, Imax anymore again.
Yeah. No recliners. Come on now.
I think really it
because that's one thing that was kind of exciting
originally about MoviePass is that you can see it unlimited
or they narrowed it down to I think it was three movies a month,
something like that.
But really, I think honestly, I would watch one
movie a month, maybe two, but that's what I roll over a month.
Thing would come in good from that. And that one doesn't have a roll of them.
But yeah, the cinema Cinemark does. Right? Yeah.
So I think that would be the best buy.
See that's the thing is. Yeah.
So if you're looking at January, February, December.
Yeah maybe there's a there's not a lot of movies to watch.
But in the summertime I'm watching movies often.
Right. With Marvel coming out with something.
DC's always dropping anything.
June, July, August.
Those are hot. Meh. Those are how much you know. Yeah.
So I kind of want to find something that accommodates those two rollovers.
Nice. Yeah. But then again.
Yeah, but then only rollover one month. Right.
And then.
Yeah. So they only roll over one month.
So the elements you can see one movie. That one.
Yeah.
Next up is the AMC stubs alias.
Now AMC for us there is no theaters.
There's I think that there's ones like up in Sacramento. Yeah.
But AMC is the biggest movie movie chain, and, and they're doing really well.
So by that, they have a pretty good movie plan.
They have it where you can reserve seats in advance.
It costs $20 a month and you get three movies a month.
3D and Imax are included and has 10% off concessions.
Wow. That's pretty good.
Pretty good plan. Yeah.
So if you have an AMC next to you, if it's your main theater, go for it.
Yeah, yeah.
But I wish that there is one cost for us, but personally it's not for us.
So but with MoviePass they have the three different packages
ten, 15 or 20 I believe the $20 package is that same thing.
It's, three movies a month.
Yeah.
And I don't think they have a 10% discount concession, but has the 20
plus Imax 3D and I.
Yeah.
So so yeah.
Next up would be going back to MoviePass. Yeah.
All right. That's always an option guys still out there.
It is an unstable company.
That is my biggest concern right.
That means that they can change prices on you or they can just go away.
I was reading the terms
because I was looking at looking at possibly signing up again,
and I was like, have the terms and conditions.
And that was one of the things that they make loud and clear is that we can change.
We reserve the right to make changes to this at any time
with only our, authority and then no permission for me.
Yeah, that's pretty shady.
I have a Mastercard with my name on it from you guys, and I, you know,
pay you monthly.
But at any point, you could change this agreement that we made together.
Yeah, that's been messed up.
And stocks have been shaky with them for a long time now.
Their parent company
just spun them off into their own company, which is kind of like
the that's dangerous.
So they had a parent company, those two last names that I don't remember Kennedy
and something or some of that.
And now there's a new company
being formed called the MoviePass Movie Club, or something like that company
that'll be privately traded and stuff like that.
What that probably means is they don't want that sinking ship
to bring down the rest of the company.
So it's kind of leery.
I wonder if they would have partner with somebody, you know, how how that would go.
Like if one of the main like AMC.
Well, okay, what would be amazing to to partner with the co-founder for MoviePass
or I think it's actually the founder, MoviePass co-founder, Netflix.
Yeah.
If they were to come up with Netflix, then they could just roll over some people.
Yeah, you know, it would be a very shaky company.
Still, Netflix is not necessarily a juggernaut when it comes to funding.
Yeah. But that would be huge.
I don't know how they would relate with, Fandango, but like another probably.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Because I mean Fandango, you can book your ticket through them
but it's not, not the same.
You don't have a subscription plan or something. Right.
And they have a no name and reputation.
So I probably care about that.
So their plans, they have the select, which is $13.
It has three movies, but they're a selection of movies.
And I checked the selection. It's like six movies at a time.
One decent one.
Yeah, yeah.
And then, the All Access, it's $18 a month, three movies, any movie,
which I think is the one I would probably go with the Vertigo.
Imagine MoviePass, it didn't have the red carpet, which sounds fancy
$20 a month, three movies, and one of them could be in
3D or Imax.
And so yeah, but the problem is you're a MoviePass guy again.
You know what I'm saying? That's the problem.
Lastly, I want to talk about is doing nothing.
Yeah.
I like that.
Yeah, I could.
Go, oh God, he gets a recording of this for year.
Oh, great.
Next up is nothing.
It's any theater.
You got all the rollover you want because you never pay one month.
You can pay double next month.
Yeah, 3D and Imax for an extra fee.
You could do this for nothing.
Way they'll let us pay extra for that.
Yeah, it's pretty cool. They have a song called
matinee, which I'm a big fan of, where it's cheaper midday.
It's $11, right?
It is nine.
Last time I went, I'll come I did, man, this $9, eight something.
Average is $13 per ticket, so if you think about it,
if you only go one time a month and you're thinking $13 per one ticket,
this is a Daniel plan,
I think, and you don't care about this free concessions
because maybe you're going to do the Walmart pocket job. Yeah.
Don't do that guy ways link.
Yeah, great lines is great.
Last night in. The.
You should have tried and they, they're like really good.
And then it was so
that's natural plan two is doing nothing.
It's just going with just paying out of pocket. Yeah.
Because when you think about, like you're saying
during the summer, there's a lot of horror movies out,
so you're going to want to do them and you'll probably have using your
movie pass or whatever and a little extra.
You could probably go to a couple more movies than that.
If it's all in one a month,
you probably end up paying extra to that adds cost on top of your package.
Already paying for it, right?
But then again, if you don't use it January, February or March,
then you're wasting that one opportunity to watch a movie every time.
So in the end, if you do the math on how much you go
and how how much you spread out your viewing over over the year,
you're right, it might be cheaper just to do the.
Okay if you can handle going midday, if you can go there many hours.
Yeah, you. Can really see some. Cash.
They're going to plan some, different, movie.
Don't. I'm totally down. One thing
podcast I was just everybody check out is hardly hear us.
Yeah, you probably already did.
They had they had rented out a theater
for Avengers Infinity War, and it was there's a cool fan event.
I had to do something, I think, with Brody or something
like that, to go, like to an event room so I can check it out.
But this year, I'm sure they're going to do it in game.
I got to make sure to check that out.
This is pretty cool, so be cool someday we can do that.
Yeah.
All right, guys, so those are the plans is the four plans AMC one
I know we don't have one in the area, but I could technically drop the second one.
So what plan am I going with guys pick for me I'm going to get this plan
and I'm going to report back on how well I'm enjoying it.
And halfway through the year.
I don't.
I think you convinced me at the end with just not not getting a subscription.
Oh, you are a downer.
And you know, for movies like for me that would work because I.
Go to the movies at least once a week. Once a month for sure.
I don't.
In that case, I would go to the Cinemark one for you then, because your closest
and best theater near you is a Cinemark theater.
You can go cinema.
I don't remember.
It was a different cinema.
Is the one I had for three movies, $8 a month.
If you bought the year plan, if you bought it a whole year in advance.
Oh, yeah, it might be a good deal.
And then you go back to MoviePass.
MoviePass isn't bad to me.
The only thing I'd have to do is make sure to get the middle package.
So the cheapest package. Yeah.
Because then you have unlimited movies. That was really.
$18 a month.
It was an 18 off.
It was 15. It probably raise the prices into checked.
Yeah. I got an email, advertisement for it, but.
Maybe they give you a discount.
Yeah, yeah. For a previous member.
Yeah, because that's what made this book turned me off for MoviePass
was that they limited what movies you can watch,
and then it's like, okay, well, I can only see these three chick flicks
nobody really wants to see.
And the only reason they're offering
an offering I'm doing is because the theater is empty.
So why am I paying a monthly subscription for that?
Because it's the movies nobody wants to see.
So if you pay the extra, you know, you just assume that $10, 1
or 13 hour doesn't exist anymore and that be the baseline.
But but that is the, the Cinemark,
just because I like the theater, but the cinema,
when you said you use anywhere.
You could do that one anywhere. Yeah.
That is kind of nice because we do have the now that the.
Delta Shaw's the one I really like, and I go to a lot.
I want a. Lot. You know,
what are you thinking?
Yeah, maybe
you're taking too long.
Which one I wrote.
Cinema.
Daniel saying cinema.
Three movie package, $8 a. Month.
That's not bad. That's really not bad. It's going to pay for the year to date.
So, you know, how old is that?
Yeah, but it's, you said it's $8.
$2 a month.
It was 96 bucks. 96.
Yeah, yeah. For a full year of movies.
Or something, you do a gift exchange with all of us for Christmas next year.
There you go. Oh, yeah. Each other. Yeah.
That's great.
Prices are, subscriptions a good idea? Yeah
I see.
Oh. Series clarinet.
Hey, Siri, remind me in December to buy MoviePass.
I'm just calling MoviePass for everybody.
For Christmas.
So hopefully you
some I'm listening to this in your car or your phone is going to have a reminder.
Yeah. For it.
All right.
And then Because that's our last gift for that for.
For that.
Anyway, so I'm going to pick up cinema
and I'm going to report like mid summer when it's really hot.
How I'm enjoying it and it's working out.
Let's see how it goes.
Maybe I'll have to get myself on that too.
After you tried it for a couple months.
I'll let you guys know when I finally decide a movie theater.
Has a problem.
You just don't see much movies.
You like TV more than movies, right?
No, not really. I just YouTube.
I just mostly YouTube or watch, which does exist here.
I work a lot of hours and I go on.
Twitch for about seven weekdays off.
Sometimes you have like a Tuesday or Thursday off.
Do I need to go to a matinee?
Well, actually, I'm going to start, only having like
two days off and like, I'll do this only on Saturday.
Sunday because I'm gonna start working on Friday.
I need more money.
An hour more. Do you want more money as the.
You're pretty good. You just greedy. That's all. Good.
I don't I don't like it, but, Yeah, if you guys do go matinee.
Just a little morning.
Don't go Mondays.
Especially in Oak Grove because it's senior center, senior discount.
And that can get crowded.
And it's really hard when you're like Aquaman or something like that.
And then you hear, like, elderly people behind you, like,
so he can breathe underwater and you're like,
yeah, lady, this is DC's reinventing of don't don't worry about it.
You're better than when Little Kid is like,
yeah, no matter what I think it's always about is you.
Just find a way to watching movies at home,
Bob. Movies and,
Yeah, Alfred Murphy's this clown man on the movie.
