You are now tuned in to season 2 with your host, the slippery online streamer warlord, Fergie, and the cinema showstopper, old Pokemon master, Chaotic, and introduces the newest member, Dolphin. This is Tenacious Geeks! Alright. Hey, Craig! Well, I guess now I gotta adjust again. Oh, that's not what I wanted. Mine. Excuse me, why do I have an ad? Because you're not, because you're not one of my, because you're not subscribed? Is it just because it's a new month?
Do you have it on reoccurring? Oh yeah, it's because game, it's because James gifted it to you. Is it already done? Yes, probably. I was gonna say I think I'm on like my second or third for James's now. Oh, man. But how you been buddy? What'd you do this weekend? What was that, what was that, a nine ball tournament? Yes, sir. That's right. That's what it was. That's what it was. Oh, hey, I got to know if this coming through on Discord. Do I sound like TeeBee? Oh my God. What is going on?
I'm also listening to your Twitch stream and Discord at once, but I'm trying to also just get this freaking thing going. Oh my God, I hear such a bad echo. I can't hear myself think right now. You're like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, I'm good. I'm good. Twitch stream is muted. Oh man, that's great. Thank you, Dolph, for the new set on the stream. Appreciate it. Oh my God, that was rough, dude. Oh, holy shit. That means I have to probably go do that for freaking James again.
Oh man, that's fucking great. But welcome, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Tenacious Geeks. I am the Ferg. This is the dolphin. We are short of chaotic because he had other things that he needed to do, and it is what it is. So we are here and this is how we're doing it. So it's just going to be us two today on the pod and it is going to be a wham, bam, bammy of a show. So I even actually, like I said, I got some notes and shit. Oh, okay. I never have notes.
I know James is flicking your shit for last week, but damn, look at you. Yep, it started out. We'll start out with the first topic on that one. Started out. James has officially gotten his chaotic has got his registration and all that done for the PDX Portland or regional invitation or whatever the hell it was. You know, both of us two aren't the old Pokemon people, but yeah. He will officially be in Portland at the Pokemon tournament. Yep. He is a Pokemon master.
Whenever that is. I don't know when that is. I think earlier mid January or something like that. Okay. But yeah, so he's all he sent me the screenshot of everything. And so he's all excited about that shit. So like hell yeah, bro, let's do it. So I'm honestly definitely looking forward to like actually seeing him go compete and shit like that because I don't think I've ever actually seen James compete. I don't think I have either. So that'll be interesting.
That'll be that'll be a good one. A good one. Juan so but I'm Leo right. But so that's just just a little reminder on that. Let everybody know that in the pot since he's not here, give him a shout out for that. Let you know, let's keep the juices flowing with all of that again coming into the next topic. The bitch isn't here. And I'm upset. I don't like that he's not here. He's my original co-host with Dolphin. It's awkward. I'm just kidding. I love you, buddy. I am awkward, though. It's okay.
It's like I'm a dolphin, but just like finding Nemo with an awkward fin. It's the autistic dolphin. Yeah, exactly. There we go. Oh, so really mentally handicapped. My preferred term. Thank you. That's the accepted macular in this stream and this discord channel. When the hell have we ever put preferred vernaculars, bitch, we some of us don't even know what vernacular means. Wordage. Verbiage. Got it. But yeah, I had a pool tournament this weekend. Fucking one, then one, then lost.
So or one, then lost, then one, then lost. That's what that's what it was. So it started as double elimination. And then once we got past our third match of single elimination and we lost that match. Gotcha. Yeah, kind of sucks, but you know, it is what it is. It's still fun. How many players? How many players were there? Fuck. I mean, I know. I mean, because it had been going on at Chinook win since Wednesday. And so there was some singles tournaments on Wednesday and then Thursday.
Friday started the three man team tournament. And that went to Saturday. That ended Saturday pretty much when I got there. Three man team? Yes. So yeah, this just keeps things small. And then. So that was Friday and Saturday. And when I got there on Friday, we were just hanging out. And Saturday was the three man teams in Scotch doubles. And Scotch doubles is basically just nine ball. But every turn is taken by the other player. So if it's like I made a shot, it would then be my teammates turn.
And then if you make one, then it's my turn. And if we miss it goes to the other team. Okay. Yeah. But in total for like the Scotch doubles, there's 110 teams. So probably 220 people. But there was other tournaments going on at the same time. And, but I think there was 86 tables in total. Amateur tables. Yeah. A lot of tables, a lot of people, a lot of crowding.
A lot of move, bitch. I'm going to hit you with my Q. I mean, there's the tables are spaced out enough to where that doesn't really happen too often. But otherwise, yes, there is a lot of, hey, get the fuck out of my way. I'm trying to walk here. Right. But yeah, it is what it is. It was only a $50 entry. And then, you know, we lost that, but played some minis and made another 20 bucks little mini tournaments. So, you know, I almost got half of it back.
Not including the hotel or the drive there and back. Right. But yeah, whatever. It was for fun. Our other buddies who were playing in the three man tournament, they lost the three man, but they came in third place in the Scotch doubles tournament and they got 700 bucks. Oh, good for them. Good for them. That's pretty cool. So transitioning transitioning to my next question for you, Dolphin. Are you an anime fan?
No, not really. Unfortunately. Okay. Well, you're still going to have to participate in these questions. I'm sorry. You suck. That's fine. Let's do it. Okay. At first, because there's there's some other stuff I got in here that we'll be able to nerd out on pretty hardcore with that you you were explaining to at least me a little bit ago or a couple of days ago that we were talking about on Discord that may ring a bell and may not. But we'll find out here shortly.
So but at first, did you did you watch Attack on Titan or ever hear like of Attack on Titan? Yeah, definitely. Okay. So they just they just aired the anime ending. So the manga the manga has been ended for a while like they done ended it quite I think it's been like a year, maybe less. I mean, I could be I could be wrong with that. But the anime has been done for a little bit. But the anime the internet absolutely raised hell about the manga ending.
And just because it didn't it just it didn't make sense. It didn't loop like it's just people didn't like it. And then coming into the anime ending, which I think just aired this week or last week. People are like. Thank you. Thank you. Some shit still doesn't make sense or like could be fixed, but that's acceptable. It's like, all right. All right, cool. So I need I need to watch that so I can actually be like, boom, because I know how I know how the ending goes.
YouTube rabbit holes horrible that I actually reading shit or watching it sometimes gets so hooked into it that I want to be caught up. Know what's going on. Then YouTube rabbit holes YouTube videos. So it's yeah. Yeah. I've been looking forward to that. And then there's another anime that's actually getting a live adaptation that comes out on the 14th of December. That's from when like we were in high school, like adult swim type shit. OK. And they're sorry, like to Nami Tran.
You know, to more to Nami, not adult swim. But I remember you get older. Yeah. Tom, the robot and shit on the spaceship and fucking all that. Yeah. Yeah. So it's a you you hockey show. Oh, I remember you, you hockey. They're they're making a lot. Netflix is making a live action adaptation. It comes out on the 14th. Oh, just like the one piece live action. I did watch that. And that was what you think. I liked it. I enjoyed it. I can't wait for season two as a non anime guy.
Like I definitely I'd like watching that and then kind of made me want to like get into anime. I'm watching James give you a shout out in the stream chat. Hey, but then I watched. Was it my friend Toro? That was called. I believe that's what it's called. I don't know. I don't think I've ever heard of that one. Jamie, Jamie, can can you? Jamie. You know, my neighbor, Toro. Sorry, my neighbor. I got you. Thank you, Jamie. Thank you. My neighbor, Toro. And then I watched Spirited Away.
I was about as far as I got. Fuck that. You'd come that fucking mangaka comes out with a fucking movie here once every like four years, if not longer. So. Spirited Away. Like I've loved that one for a long time. That's that's a cult classic for sure. That's a great one. And then my neighbor, Toro, is a good one, too. So that's about as far as I got when I did my whole anime dive was just like, watch two movies that I already watched. Right. I mean, like, it was a habit, aren't we?
Yeah, I do kind of like like American westernized anime, like Avatar and Legend of Korra. I am massive fans of. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed Legends of Korra. That was a good one. I do. I've seen both of them through probably six times for Korra and maybe 10 times for Avatar. Like, I know pretty much every single episode by heart. Touche, you got me on that one. I fucking love those, dude. But, you know, that's that's kind of where I breach my stopping point on anime is about there.
I would like to get into it more. I just go. I don't know. It's just trying to find the right genres and the right shows that actually tickle that point. Actually want to watch it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, that's that's kind of how James was at first. He like when we first started recording this and stuff like that, like he was like, yeah, like some stuff you'd watch Bleach. You'd watch, you know, Pokemon and Naruto.
And, you know, the big, you know, the big ones that most people watch growing up from our generation and shit. It was like, here's some newer stuff. This is the kind of stuff that I know you like. So you probably like this. Like I'm the one who turned on turned him into my hero academia. I like him and I played that game and it looked kind of cool. So I might get it. It's a really good show. Like it is a phenomenal show and its own and it's almost done.
So like by the time you get in a bunch of it's dubbed a bunch of it's dubbed. So by the time you get caught up in current, like pretty much by the time like when it ends, like you'll you'll have everything in dubbed if you want to watch it that way, like or I can't sit like I always watched it with subtitles. I think that's because, you know, I've babysat so many kids.
It just got me used to it. But then I like it too, because if you miss something, you can just look down at the title or the text and be like, oh, that's that's the word. Yes, yes, yes. But watching an entire movie with subtitles or TV show, I just can't do.
I like some of the visuals aspects of it. So some of them I can because when I mean, I've also spent enough time like reading, you know, fucking watching, you know, watching sudden shit like that, that like you kind of just pick up on the tone of what they're saying, because it's not necessarily a lot of the shit is like it's more in tone of like paying attention to what's going on. So you can be like, oh, blah, blah, blah. I can fucking speed read this to pay attention to this.
I'm going to understand what's going on. Like, gotcha. You know, when it's like you see that there's a giant yelling scene or like it's just a couple of lines of dialogue. It's like, OK, that's probably ass ass dialogue anyway. So if I can barely pay attention to that to pay attention for the choreograph of the fight scenes. Yeah. But yes, I do. I do agree with you. It does. It is for people who aren't used to it or people who don't like it.
Like it is definitely a lot to try and pay attention to all in one. But yay for ADHD. I mean, I did like the last movie I watched that was completely dubbed was that Indian movie that made its way to Netflix called RRR. I don't even know if you saw that. Some some some independent independent actual independent. It's like it's an indie Indian movie. You and your versions of indie. And it was fucking weird, man. It was fucking weird. But it was hilarious.
Like it was the best like, you know, B rated movie that I'd ever seen for sure. With unknown actors, movies can be bangers dog like some Netflix has some hidden gems that really do. But this movie was like three and a half hours long. It was a long movie and it was some bizarre ass shit that they had going on. You just have to watch it. It's like maybe we'll have a movie night because that shit was fucking funny, dude. Like there's some really bizarre, hilarious shit.
That's a little funny. I'd be down with the community movie night. And that's actually kind of what that talk going into that was transition to another Fergie notes. Yeah. Community nights like I want to start figuring out like. I mean, and this is going to involve all of us like pushing to he said the live action, though. Yeah, I know. I noticed that. Are you talking about the live action for you, James?
I'll say, well, since, you know, he is the other one, we'll keep him included in here, though. But like, yeah. Yeah, for sure. But going into like I want to start doing more like movie nights or game nights because we have like party animals and stuff like that. That we can do custom games and shit like that, because party animals is a free game off Steam.
Like if we have enough people who play PC and stuff like that or like if they can get it on console to like then it would that would be a really fun game to get all to get the community into like do custom matches and shit like that, because it would be it is not free on Sir. What? How much is it? Twenty bucks. Oh, I thought it was free. My bad. Twenty bucks to. Twenty bucks to. I'm moving up in the world.
But like, fuck, I mean, we have for tonight we have all I mean we have different free games that like we could all participate and play in together. But it's, you know, trying to get the community to actually do you know, trying to get to me to actually do it because we only have what like a handful of us that actually like talk to each other on there. Yeah, the most part. I think a lot of it is also, you know, James's Pokemon peoples.
Yeah, who are like just directly on there for that. So it's like, I understand that. So we're trying to it's I mean, it's a multi use discord. That's what we designed it to be. That's what we wanted it to be. But, you know, it is what it is. But it would definitely be nice if we could get more people to participate. Fucking Geeks Community Nights, because if you are part of a. Oh, so you actually decided to join the podcaster. But he's muted. He's always muted. Surprise motherfucker.
Crude as motherfucker. You guys were talking about avatar. I'm talking about the. You're talking about avatar and you can't bring up the live action. Drops on Netflix in like a month. Well, you know, I'm not going to go there because the last live action that came out of Avatar was fucking was absolute shit. So, you know, I will mention it when I see it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Who? I'm sorry. You said you weren't going to be here for this. Yeah, excuse me, sir. I literally just sat down.
You know, you know, like, I don't I don't know what makes you think that you can just come in all willy nilly and be like, I'm not going to be here. And then in the middle, like, try and be John Cena or whatever. But it's like unacceptable, sir. And it's. Did you double click it or what? No, it's because. That's for. Oh, he knew what to do. Oh, you're unmuted now. Okay, I could do a lot of things. Okay, now that you're in here, welcome, James, to the Tenacious Geek Fox. Yes, you are.
Well, they're recruiting online. He's late. Yeah. Oh, welcome to be in 15 minutes. Fucking late. Then I'm only on it for a minute. You know, I can't even hear. I hear from you just fine. I was going to say. I was going to say I unmuted him. Oh, he muted me. Oh, there you are. I was going to say I unmuted you. You've been unmuted for a minute, at least 60 seconds. At least the very least, maybe a little bit more, maybe a little bit less, but someone. Minutes, seconds, minimum six seconds. But so.
So there's a live action avatar that nobody wanted to talk about that looks pretty fucking good. I honestly haven't seen. I haven't seen anything on it. I actually didn't on it. Nope. I heard whispers like a month ago and then I haven't seen shit for it. I know. And then I when I've been seeing the one that I've been seeing that's been getting pushed hard is you, you Haku show. Actually, no, let's not do that here. Let's not do that. So Jamie's looking it up. It's OK. Yeah, give me a sec. OK.
There you go. Put this on the stream. I guess I should click on watch that so we can see it, shall we? I guess you just won't be able to hear it. I don't think. Well, what's the fucking point then? You know, watching. But you can smell it. I always watch it. I mean, there's a lot of smells in the air. Fire Nation ship. OK, so this is this is the beginning. This is the beginning of the show, essentially, when the fire nation is getting off the ground. Oh, I have this. I have watched that.
OK, yeah, I've seen this. I think, say, yeah, the fire nation, everything is like legit. It's like a one piece type. I know you can hear. The person narrating, I believe, is uncle to. I was uncle uncle Ira. Yeah, I can't tell. The only thing I always remember who you are. And. Yeah, I remember seeing this. I won't lie, it is a little disappointing, but now it looks so much better. It's at least book one and and and you know, like the bending. And I remember watching this when it first came out.
The bending is what like killed me most about the fucking movie, a live action movie, was that it's like slow as fucking dog shit, dude. Like I could go take a piss in the time that a fucking fireball came to fucking hit me in the face and tense. Well, the shittiest part about the whole thing is that it wasn't it wasn't completely accurate for the pure fact that the firebenders had to for the one biggest point is that the firebenders had to use had to have this fire source,
had to have some kind of source to actually bend and control. Yeah. But there's your Jamie. But besides, but besides that, like it wasn't accurate. Like, yeah, yeah, that's how it worked with the waterbenders because they needed to do something unless they got to the point where they could bloodbend. And that was all that's a whole different fucking topic. I don't know, bro. But no, that was.
The only thing that looked good in the live action movie that came out was earthbending, but that's because earth is really easy to CGI. So I think we've established that Netflix is just doing really good with live actions now. The only good one so far, I trust, go ahead. The only one good live action that they have going for them is fucking one piece. All the rest of the live actions they've done have been shit. No bleach was all right. Bleach was OK, but it was still shit.
And I think I think Netflix did Rorona Kenshin to didn't they? Your own attention was. Roo Roo, six out of 10 macaroni. What is a did I hear something about death note or something coming out to live? That's no no death notes had a live action for a while. OK, yeah, OK. Yeah, it's yeah. So we've talked about it. They tried the bleach wasn't there's terrible. There's so it's probably it's probably one piece.
And then the next one after that for me would probably have to be would probably be bleach for the pure nostalgia. That's one of my favorite fucking animes. And then after that, I don't think any of them are really noteworthy like Cowboy Bebop was absolute trash. Yeah, I was a little one Cowboy Bebop came out and then fucking you know, it happened like a week later. The anime was up higher rankings in fucking Netflix's rankings than the fucking live action.
Yeah, I was so pissed that went back to watch the anime. I tried to watch that after watching one piece. And yeah, I got like told maybe 12 minutes into the episode and I immediately turned it off. But I also did the same thing with like Lord of the Rings and the Rings of Power this weekend. I started to watch it and I made myself forced myself to watch one full episode and I have vowed to never watch it again. It's a twenty twenty two show, but it's fucking it's so bad.
I am like and I've been told this now multiple times, especially when arguing about Lord of the Rings shit. I'm a purist apparently when it comes to the storyline. But for me, it's the least in regards to Lord of the Rings and the Rings of Power. Like, you know, they say it's based on it's not it's not so they didn't actually. So here's the here's the thing with that. So I watched a big I watched a podcast. I talked about it. I don't remember what fucking podcast it was, though.
But the reason why it's not it's not going to be it's loosely based off the Lord of the Rings. It's loosely based off the Lord of the Rings because of the pure fact of the Silmarillion. Whatever for the pure fact that they didn't get the rights to the Lord of the Rings. Like they know they got the rights to the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, but they didn't get the rights to the Silmarillion.
So it's not everything is going to be completely not everything is going to be completely accurate because they didn't get the rights to everything. But also the directors and and fucking writers for the show in an interview also said that they didn't want to like basically base everything off the book. They wanted to reflect the world like their quotes reflect the world we live in today. I'm like, what you want to reflect?
What? Fuck, trust me, this is a fantasy world, man. Why would it reflect anything? This is not the era that you want to be fucking reflecting on in real life right now. I know that. But but to me, I mean, they are they're like also fucking with the characters that are in the Lord of the Rings books after the Silmarillion. I mean, technically, some really is book point five because it's like the Lord of the Rings Bible.
It's got all the lore and shit in it. They just they kind of change the characters around to people that they really aren't necessarily are in the books. And it's kind of a nerd alert. No, what's the name of the podcast? I don't know. I couldn't help it. Do you need to get no apps? I have I have no input. All right, Mrs. Kensington, calm down. I did not watch Rings of Power and I yeah, not big on Lord of the Rings anymore. I mean, I'm just listening right now.
I'm just reading rereading or read listening to, I guess, the books because Andy Serkis came out with his versions of all the books like a year or two ago. So I'm going over all those right now because I love him as Smeagol. So I think his voice is fucking awesome. He doesn't have a great singing voice, but regardless, he's a great narrator. It is besides the point. Yeah, yeah, no, this is I'm like. I'm more on the fact of like, OK, you're going to take a story from a book.
You should probably try to retain most of that book's original value like the original Lord of the Rings trilogy did. Like most people who are huge fans of the books also are huge fans of the movies because they did really well. Whereas one of the Hobbit movies were pretty good. The Hobbit movies were fucking awful, dude. Fuck. Now, don't even get me started on those. I watched all three of them and wanted to puke at every single time.
Cinematically, they were really good movies, but they didn't fucking. Do not see. I was so bad. How is the CGI in the original Lord of the Rings from 2006 better than the ones from an entire CGI driven movie? And there was hardly C.G.I. That's why there was there wasn't there wasn't a lot of CGI in the original Lord of the Rings. There wasn't extremely popular back then. And not only that, but mainstream and shit.
Not only that, but so Robert or Guillermo del Toro was the original phenomenal person. Yeah, he was supposed to direct the original two Hobbit movies and then whatever studio was that owns them. Told him that they needed they wanted a third movie out of it, which is just a stretch beyond all stretching. Like the Hobbit is like the Hobbit is like half of the original fucking first book. You know what I got to say? I'm out. What?
Where the fuck's your camera? If you're going to be on stream, you got to have the camera. No, I'm ugly. We didn't say that, you know, then you know where the door is. Ouchies. We stream it. We want to have faces. There's a whole point of it. This is true. You have to wait. OK, back to it. I'm almost done. I'll wrap up here shortly. But then when he left the director seat, Peter Jackson picked it up, who directed the original three.
But instead of having four years of pre-production development, he had about two to three months. So he was like working like 20 hours a day, rewriting and creating script on the spot. So he was pretty fucking stressed out. And yeah, so that's another reason they didn't come out too well. But my biggest gripe about it is that the book itself is about Bilbo and his story. With the dwarves, with Gandalf, with the wood woodland elves, all that shit.
The movies changed that to where it's a story about the dwarves getting home now. The story is definitely about that 100 percent, but it's less focused on Bilbo and all his fucking awesome cool shit that he does in the book and doesn't do in the movie. Right. So not all live actions are created equal, James. Oh, trust me, we're fully fucking aware. Well, well aware of that. Fair enough. And granted, it's Amazon. It's not Netflix. But all I'm going to say, though, is there's only one return.
And it's of the genesis, not of the king. It's of the Jedi of the Jedi. I disagree entirely. Well, you can take your whole little hocus pocus arrow bullshit and I'm going to take my fucking space man, but Janby and my light and my light sword. So now it's it's it's from clerks, bro. I know I would I would like to do a D&D sci fi campaign at some point, but a whole lot of transition into our next topic. Let's talk about fucking D&D.
I'm going to compare that last trilogy of Star Wars was absolute ass. I'm just saying that on the record. What right now? Are you going to last trilogy seven, eight, nine? I will take the Hobbits any fucking day over those that fucking trilogy. I never watched it. So I never finished, you know, where the fuck the door is. But literally, literally, just remember this somewhere in the script and in the movie, they wrote the words somehow Palpatine returns. That's it. That's it.
There was no setup for two movies, two and a half movies. They just wrote somehow he returned and poof, there's the fucking emperor again. Get out of here and the first record and reboot that shit. No, right, can reboot. And that's why for some books are really good, too. Can I thank you? I appreciate it. Like they went back after six before seven and it's perfect.
I'm if you can't tell, I'm kind of annoyed with him because he just decided to come fucking jump in in the middle of the shit when he said he wasn't going to be. This is true. This is my time to shine and you just fucking barged in here. Yeah, you're like, wait, I don't like I don't like what they were saying, so I got to come in and prove. Ouch. Well, you made it. You made it completely fucking clear this quite earlier that you're like, nope, that's too late. Can't do it. Surprise motherfucker.
That's some guys motherfucker. Roll Todd motherfucker. French fries motherfucker. So but to transition now, since we were so rudely interrupted because one co-host thinks he's better than the other two of us now. Indeed. Talking about getting so we were talking about doing what the three of us are a group of us getting together to do like a geek's fucking short fucking whatever. Yeah. So like we've actually been talking about playing D&D for a while, but no one knows a DM nor wants to DM.
So I had had an idea in my head kind of since I started playing D&D back in like 2016 or 2017 for a one shot, which is basically just campaign. We know what one shots are. We know the viewers might not. But a one shot is basically just, you know, start and end in one day, six to eight hour session, something like that. And my idea was, you know, basically loosely based off of the movie Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny.
So it'll be very interesting. I didn't actually get to write much this weekend since my tenacious geeks looking for the tenacious boobies. Exactly. But yeah, so I've started writing. I mean, I wrote wrote out session zero, so we'll get together soon. Go over session zero and kind of go over the world and what your guys characters are, what the house and the table rules are going to be all that fucking fun shit.
And then, you know, you guys can be released into making your characters and sending me your character sheets. And yeah, I'll continue to write the campaign and I'll have nothing else. Hey, no, there's no min maxing. But you know, we'll go like I said, we'll go over all that. It's the only step. Zero. Or go over that in the session zero. I just want to do the whole time. That's all I want to do. They call me to hone in. Are you actually playing for.
I would like to. Yeah. So we got a folder and if Swabia wants to join, he can be our fifth. Or what you might like to do is play an NPC that I have in mind. That would be kind of fucking nifty, dude. That'd be sweet. Have him play a non playable character. Yeah, interesting. Interesting. I feel like that defeats the purpose. I mean, I mean, NPC is relative when it comes to DND. It's more of just like a saying of like, this is not an actual person playing. This is a character within the story.
Here's who you are now. Here's your sheets. Here's your stats. You have no choice in the matter. This is just all you do. You better be rolling 15 or higher, my boy. I don't know. I got like half my character done. I mean, I'm not. I wouldn't even like know where the fuck to start. And like I said in the discord a couple of days ago, you don't have to have a character for session zero. We'll go over a lot of character creation. Help you guys out with that.
That's totally fine. Don't need to have anything. This session zero will help you create your characters more. So. Yeah, don't worry about that. Oh, look, look, you have to keep adjusting my fucking camera. Oh, yes. Why are you not doing it in discord? Because I'm on Twitter. So I have my OBS picture frame lined up of where it's supposed to be in fucking discord. That's so weird that my cameras flipped on mine, but not on.
It's I was going to say it's been it did that to me last time we did it to it. Well, I looked flipped. Weird. I'm definitely flipped. I mean, you look the exact same. Well, Dolphin just sits pretty centers. I wonder if it looks like if you. I wonder if it auto flips us. That's weird. I don't know. Hi, buddy. Look who decided to look who decided to actually join us. Yeah, I'm here. Well, yeah, no. So it'll be interesting.
I've already started writing some of the actual campaign itself, kind of the introduction to, you know, y'all's fucking thing. But yeah, you guys are going to be a bunch of fucking bards. So musicians and telling you right now, you're right now, I'm multi-classing. I expect nothing less like that's why I said y'all can multi-class because even a one shot as four, four or five people with nothing but bards would get kind of old.
It's going to be it's going to be awesome. I wouldn't even have to play that. Did Robert tell you what he's got planned? No, but I don't need to know. We'll go over in session zero. Oh, buddy. Yeah, no, it'll be it'll be pretty fun. It'll be interesting, especially with a bunch of sarcastic assholes. It will definitely be a cool. Yeah, it'll be very naughty. Not another D&D podcast as gross is going to be pretty much all a satire. It's it's going to be so fun. It's going to be so much satire.
You playing D&D together is going to be. I feel like I got here on the TV. I got here to know. Oh, bro, there may be something actually thrown. Oh, it's going to be great. Well, it's going to be great. Dude, all side note, brief side note. Fucking who's the dude that plays Shaggy? Fuck, what's his name? Matthew Lillard. Thank you. Apparently, this motherfucker is coming out with D&D whiskey, bro.
Oh, dude, I did. I saw that and I was like, I might have to buy a bottle just for the party for you guys, even though I don't even drink like I might have to buy it. I would get shitty drunk playing D&D. Drink one of those bottles. That would be so much fun. Oh, my God. That'd be great. But yeah, no. So this will be my first time D&D. It'll be a new experience for pretty much most of us. Except for lots of us, everybody. Yeah, you and Robert for D&D entirely and then me for D&D.
So that'll be it'll be an ice breaking play anytime. I just don't DM. Yeah. And I've never DM before. So I'm going to do something that kind of makes me scared and nervous a little bit. But you know what? I started writing it and it kind of started coming out. So I got getting excited for it for sure. Ordered myself, I guess, all of us to play Matt. So it's basically like a board game board, maybe. It's got a three feet by two feet and it's got some grids on it and some magic erasers.
So you can kind of draw out dungeons and rooms or the dungeon and rooms and whatnot. And got some miniatures ordered. So that way you guys have some characters to move around on the board and kind of get some visualizations of some shit. Fucking Swabii sent me some soundbite tracks so that way I can play some soundbites if I really want to. Yeah, it's actually coming together pretty well. It's pretty cool. Excited. Oh, yeah.
Word. Yeah. Like I said, Fergie is really the only thing you need to do is just buy some dice. And like Amazon's fucking great for it. I mean, you can buy one set for like four or five bucks or if you wanted to, you could buy 35 sets of dice for 10 bucks. I mean, you only really need one. Really? Realistically, yeah. I mean, it's just. It just really comes into like. It's special. He'll probably eat them. I mean, they do come in fancy colors that make them look like candy. I like pretty colors.
As he pulls out his phone. For 17 bucks a day. I said 20. With six animal pattern bags. Yeah, there's there's one on Amazon that's like 10 bucks and you get 35 dollars. I just went to Batcave and got mine. Yeah, I already had two sets, but I found a set for like four bucks. Like a little like thing to throw it into to. That's neat. Yeah, dice tray is cool. Dice trays are nice. They're good to have. You can also just roll it on the table.
One sec. Hold on. I'm wired in, so I have to like take this off for a sec. I was going to say, you know, he didn't. I made myself a dice tower. I still need to paint it. I did notice that I just hadn't said anything. Hey, Dolph. I made myself a dice tower. Did you subbed yourself? Why? Oh, then you were then you then you were already subbed then. So if you gifted a sub, you already said because you can't give to seven unless you're subbed already. No, but his he doesn't have a founder logo.
Hmm. That's a good point. I'll figure it out later. Who did I even get my gift on? Oh, shit. I'm going to do it. Yeah, I know. Either way, I still need to get to the deprive. Yeah, to print mage. So shout out print mage for being a new friend. You're so welcome. Thanks, buddy. Blur. Yeah. Okay, there we go. So made it made a little dice hour. So that way you can like roll dice. You can buy these. They're kind of expensive sometimes, but they add a cool little aspect. I like those.
And we'll roll in there. It's pretty nifty. I like it. Yeah, you sit there and. Get some dice, very nice in there. We should know what a dice tower is. Hey, you know, he's new to this shit, man, just saying. And it rolled a one. And there's also viewers. It's not just about us. We got viewers. OK, do where the fuck. Well, we are the viewers. What do you mean? Right. Well, this might be viewed by tons by tons later. You never know. You never know.
Yeah, there was a problem with our other one, too, by the way. What do you mean? I went uploaded it to YouTube and went to watch it. And after about the halfway mark, the video and the audio don't match because discord didn't record it, but it recorded me just fine. Weird because obviously it was on my computer. Mm hmm. So strange things because OBS. Mm hmm. Gotcha. Well, yeah, regardless, Jolly my new intro or what? Nobody has said a word about it. I totally forgot. I didn't even hear it, bro.
I mean, you need to put in like a dolphin sound for me. If you're the cinema showstopper and pokey master and we got the Ferg fucking Call of Duty guy over here and he's lead a fucking dolphin squeak. I just appreciated that I'm actually in it, though. So honestly, I have no complaints. I hadn't. I was trying to come up with something here. And I couldn't. So. I mean, you could put maximum effort in there, since that's my one thing on the soundboard. I was just about to click it, too.
So the soundboard don't even they don't show up on the Craig recordings. And it's kind of sad. Oh, they don't. They show up on the stream. At least he's got a crack. I was going to say it cracks. We have to watch him had to like throw onto the screen and shit. I think it's kind of funny. So like if you watch the shadow, do you see like it popped up over one of the screens at the bottom left? Yeah, that takes you to. Yeah. OK, OK, OK. It pops up on my face when I do.
All right. Did that fucking work this time? Why did you do that? OK, I got the founders badge. We're good. He said I got it back. I don't see it. I know. Thank you. Thank you. Well, you know, I did resubscribe to James, but I guess I guess you get to. Oops. Me or him? What? Oh, he has three on your. So like if I have her over it, I can see like how long even online. So it's like founder, three month subscriber imposing dolphin just subscribed. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. I just like watching a little dinosaur pop up on the screen. But so if I have, I am I the only one in here that's played the new MW. I'm assuming. I played the beta. You played like since since release, you know, you know what? I spent my money on for not one and not that not that. A big ass jar of lube so Princess can show you who daddy really is. No problem. But Pokemon cards naturally. Oh, yeah, that's right. It's fucking Dolphinsburg. They remember that. I know. I bought more.
Oh, I bought a lot more. Oh, it's all right. I think I probably get a three party Edwills after this. I've been playing that for like all weekend. It's so funny. I'm dead serious because it's so funny. I'm out there playing it on the Xbox. I'm like, Oh, is it on Game Pass? Yeah. OK. I didn't realize that might be where I need to fucking just get Game Pass again. It's honestly it's worth it even on PC. It really is still five bucks a month or six bucks a month.
Game Pass Ultimate gives you gives you access to give you PC. It'll give you PC and Xbox for 15 ninety six dollars. 15 ninety nine a month. The Xbox. Yes. Or Game Pass. You get you get access. Will you get access to like be able to anyway? Well, you can if you do that, then you get access to like over 200 games that you can fucking download at any point while you're while your things acted. Yeah. So once it's not active, you don't get the game anymore. Pretty much.
That's that's kind of the trade off with it. Yeah, I'd rather just buy and own games. Well, then it's. Yeah, but it also lets you it also lets you test it to make sure you actually want to buy it. Like you see it. Party animals now after I was judging him and his twenty dollar purchase, I was like. Yeah, it's probably worth 20 bucks. Oh, dude, I got myself a birthday gift card here. So, you know, I'm going to bend the knee and fucking finally do it for you guys.
Oh, we are going to play party animals after this. It's not a very big deal, though. I don't have a very big deal going to fucking straight. Have it on the Xbox in there. I don't have it. Oh, you'll have to do it. You can get a discorded Xbox. I just bought Pokemon cards. I'd say you could get you could tell their discord on Xbox and get into this. I'm not doing that. Well, then you're supposed to be in there making dinner right now. Well, then why did go make what I'm in here?
I wanted to see you guys. Oh, you're right. I've been having problems activating this fucking thing and it's starting to piss me off. What do you do? No, I tried to activate it this weekend and it didn't work. Yeah, I have no idea. I type in the security code and it says, Please try again. It says, Please try again. And the number on the front is correct. What do you buy it on steam? Yeah. I was like, because I was trying to do that, too. Because I got a code for like Lego for like a dollar.
It was like Lego Avengers or something for a dollar. And I kept trying to do it and it kept telling me, Try again. I was like, OK, well, thank you. I just won't play it then. I got it on Xbox anyway. Like, fuck you. Oh, man. Oh, yeah. You talk about regionals beginning. I heard it. Yeah. Give you give you a little shout out to let everybody know that you got your registration and should done since we thought you weren't going to be here. Oh, you're a little nervous as fuck.
So. But, you know, I mean, since you got it done, might as well let the community know this is the perfect opportunity to let the community know. I appreciate it. So if anybody is in the Pacific Northwest area during in January during the regional tournament, you know, I know it comes. I carry you. There you go. There we go. Yeah, I'm having I think I'm having fucking Internet connection issues because I just watched my are kind of dip down a little bit every now and then.
But yeah, if anybody from the Pacific Northwest wants to come support for your local geekers up here are local regional tournament that's coming in like a month and a half, two months, then yeah, we'd appreciate you coming out to support your boy. Yeah, don't work like that. You don't you don't get to just show up and walk in. You actually got to buy a spectator badge. They have like legit spots. That's that's fine. Again, still come out and support your boy.
I mean, if you want to pay the money and come watch her, but I don't know how much I planned on coming for one day. I would say watch it on Twitch. It would probably be better. They do like because because they'll have the stream stage specifically for a certain match every round. Right. I understand. It'll be and then yeah, so but they do it with like fucking overlays and all kinds of shit and commentary and it's way better. It's probably be boring as fuck. No, I don't know.
I don't know a person I've ever heard be like, no, don't come physically come watch me in person like don't don't come support me. Just turn into the Twitch stream like what kind of shit is that? It'll look better. I mean, are you going to have your own stream going the entire time or is it just going to be one? I'm not I'm not allowed to see that. That's that. That's my fucking point.
So if people are there, there's already going to be a crowd to spectate it like that's that's how you get your name out. That's how people get discovered and like word of mouth and then grow through the Internet from there. Like that's so to sit there and hear hear you say specifically being one of my homies and my co-hosts like no, don't come support me. Support me in the chat broke.
If they try to support you in the fucking Pokemon chat, all they're going to do is support the Pokemon stream, not supporting you. So like this is true. I mean, you know what? Unless I mean, it's not really supporting me other than like cheering me on cheerleaders. I get it. That's kind of honestly support like. But if we keep supporting Pokemon and their stream specifically, even just to watch your favorite streamer helps keep it going along so we could do more. Yes, that is true.
But how are you going to grow your brand personally? That's true. I mean, what if what if we all showed up with tenacious geeks jerseys on, bro? I mean, I don't know what I'd say. I'm probably crying. I'm going to have my shirt and my hat on though, just in case. I mean, you'd probably cry, to be honest. And then you'd win and then I'm going to be crying and you would sit on stage. No, no, no. Yeah, then I'm sitting on stage. Absolutely. Dolphin remembers.
Well, if you're going to get on stage, I have to be on stage first. So. Well, I was able to do it. You're just going to be around. I mean, you can do that. I just want to I just want to clip that little fucking point for this. I remember I got on stage. Tune in. First week of January. Next. This next thing, you know, just on that fucking day, my stream goes live from my phone and all you see me is just squatted on stage from like top position, just.
Just face beat red, just trying to force this shit. Yes, pushing as hard as I can, like just, you know, absolutely. I get a hemorrhoid. Absolutely. If I sell a hammer, I do it. 100%. Yeah. But all right, Joe, I'm going to have to bounce out of here. You guys are going to finish it up. I got to go cook dinner real quick and eat. All right. Sounds good. But I'll talk to you later. Yeah. Go feed your children. Yeah. Finish your show. Feed your children. You guys do.
Everyone wish James the best of luck feeding his kids. Let's let's let's pray they fight bite his fingers off. Let's hope they can. That too. Yeah, that's a big for sure. I'll talk to you a little bit. Goodbye. Goodbye, Gypsy. So what else did you have on your list? I mean, that was pretty much it. I thought you were leaving. No, that's a no, that was pretty much it.
Like, I want to if anybody had actually played like current MWMW3, like had any input in it more than just like the beta, you know, seeing things shift a little bit after the beta, then no, not necessarily. That was really about it. Cool. We went to Great Wolf Lodge with the kids this weekend. That was the first time that I've been there and the first time they had been there. So that was that was an interesting experience. So it's nice that they have alcohol in a casino.
That's Great Wolf Lodge isn't a casino. Well, they have, you know, they have alcohol. Yeah. They have adult. As you are correct, they have. They do have adult stuff. But I think that's going to be I think that's going to be the end of the stream. I think that'd be the end of the pod. So I think that'd be a good point to close out on with James taking off and me having no more topics to talk about.
Dolphin, I really appreciate you showing up and trying to have our own fucking podcast for the first time. And, you know, we try to our own little to some. But, you know, somebody got jealous. Yeah, he wasn't in here and he was feeling he was feeling some FOMO, man. I was going to say he was feeling some kind of way. That's for damn sure. But thanks everybody for tuning in this episode of Tenacious Geeks. I am the Ferg. You are the Dolphinator, imposing dolphin. And we are we are the geeks.
This has been another episode. We appreciate you guys. We love you guys. Thank you for tuning in. Your life may be good. Your life may be great. It may be up, may be down, may be left or right. But you know what you do, you need to always keep your chin up. Keep moving forward. I know life's been shit for me lately because I haven't been home much during the week. Haven't got to spend too much time with you. But I'm here. I'm smiling.
I'm trying to keep content coming because we love you guys and life keeps on turning. So we got to we got to do. I love you guys. Like I said, I'm the Ferg. He is the dolphin. You got anything you want to say? I thought was some fucking primal shit, dude. I can't top that. I got nothing now. I was going to say something. I don't remember what it was. That was I think we're good. We we are the geeks. We are. We are.
