 Yes, new studio. New studio. A lot of work went into this by Derek Service and Jeff Shaw. You get everything ready in time for the new year. You've got new lighting, new backgrounds. All kinds of stuff that we're going to play. Yes. So how was your vacation, Bryce? It was good. It was pretty busy though. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see if we can play a lot of games. I've played a bit. Yeah. Anything new? Yeah. I got Bioshock. Yeah. So what was Bioshock like? Oh, it was very fun. Yeah. I played Bioshock on the PS3. Did you play it on the PC? Yeah. Have you played any of the other ones? Well, there's one other one, right? Yeah. I think that's it. Imagery is a good one. Yeah. Yeah, Bioshock is pretty cool. So why don't you tell us about Bioshock? Well, it's a first-person shooter developed by Irrational Games, if I'm correct? Yeah. I think Irrational Games and published by 2K or something or other. Yeah. So the game takes place underwater, right? Yes. Except that you're in a city underwater. You can sit here. Yeah. And the whole idea is that you... It starts out like there's not really a whole lot of explanation. You're in a plane crash. Yeah. And then you find a lighthouse. Yeah. And a submarine that goes down. And you discover this underwater city that's been down there abandoned. And it was built supposedly in the 50s, right? Yeah. So I think you're not much after the 50s in the game. Oh, is it like the 60s or something? Yeah. So it hasn't been too long, but already there's been trouble down there. Yeah. So what did you think of the game? I thought it was very fun. Yeah. The graphics were pretty good, right? Yeah. And you played on a PC, so you got like the full... Well, I've played on my laptop, so... Yeah, I finished all of these. Okay. All right. So tomorrow? I have a court tomorrow. Okay. All right. Next week? Yeah. All right. Yeah. So next week then we'll shift the whole operation to downstairs. Okay. All right. Thank you once again. You're welcome. Yeah. You have any thoughts on video games or to share with the audience? I don't know. Actually, I don't... I don't know if there's any. I haven't played in the video games recently. It's been a while. Yeah. I think the last thing I played was like Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas. Sweet thing. We'll be talking about that on the new one concept this year. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's five. So it's the, you know, the high HD version of that. Yeah. Like they've redone everything. But they said it's bigger than almost all the other games combined. Oh, okay. Combined. Wow. Like the size of the world. Just like that. Yeah. But it's the same area that it's showing us. So it should be pretty cool. And now you can go... They said you can go under water. There's like submarines that they can actually put. Sea water fin and everything. Yeah. Cool. All right. I'll see you next week. So your impression was good. Yeah. It was a pretty fun game. And what did you think about the whole five minutes? The game, you discovered these like genetic implants, I guess you call them. Yeah. They call them five minutes. But they're sort of like a genetic living thing. Yeah. And they give you different powers, which you'll see in a clip. We have a clip actually. Yeah. And you thought that was pretty cool. Yeah. That was pretty cool. Yeah. I thought it was really good. I think there was a lot of talk about how amazing the back story was. I thought it was really cool. Yeah. But maybe not quite as earth-shattering as everyone was saying. At the time it came in. Yeah. Have you played the sequel to it? No. I have not played the sequel yet. Are you going to now that you've played the first one? Probably. Yeah. I was thinking of picking it up. The reason I got it is because it was like five dollars in the bargain game. All right. And I got exactly one year ago Christmas with my brother and I still didn't have it. The Rapture is the name of the city underground. Under the... Under the... Under the... Right? Pretty sure it's specific. Even though maybe they never really specified it. Yeah. I don't remember. I'm not sure where it was. It makes sense that you build it no longer. I don't consider it cool. Yeah. Might be the Atlantic. Of course. You've got to have a wrench every game. First person shooter you can't have. First person shooter. You've got to wrench unless it's called beauty. Or crowbar. Or crowbar. Or some other metal object. I've got to paint it red too. But that was one of the things. The art direction in this game was really... Yeah. It's this wonderful sort of art deco combined with a little 50s futuristic style which sort of trickles to everything. Like the little advertisements you find. Posters. You know, like the worn posters on the walls. The audio in here. So can we trigger the clip from here? Yeah, we can. I think we have to have the... Let's try it. So now, if we can, we'll cut away the clip. All right. Yeah, we're going to cut away the clip now. All right. It was amazing. I still can't get mine to click in, so I'm not able to... So there was a big article in Wired about Bioshock Infinite, which is the next version of this game that's coming out. So when we get closer to the release of that game, we'll probably talk about it again. Yeah. The article was just a pretty positive profile. But as I said, there was a lot of hype around the original game when it came out. For some people, it was very satisfying. For others, it was like, you guys are overhyping a little. So we'll see what happens with this new one. Yeah. So that was Bioshock. The next thing we're going to cover is... If you recall, in one of the earlier episodes, which for us was a long time ago, but for you, it won't be pretty recent, I brought it in my collector set for Black Ops. And as you'll recall, I was very upset that the drone didn't work. Well, we returned with the drone and the controller that was broken, and I repaired it. So what we're going to do is just to show you a little idea of what the future's going to be like in the entire United States when there's drones flying around everywhere, watching your every move... Oh, I'm going to turn this button off. As you can see, it's going to fly off camera, and it puts over pretty easily. So I wouldn't say that this Black Ops drone is the best drone in the world. It's a little ridiculous. But this technology is advancing rapidly. As you can see already, it's cheap enough to turn into toys that they can pack in with video games. And of course, the police are interested in them. The military is interested in it. And I guess it needs some development. These things are manufactured in China? Not that the Chinese make bad stuff, but they're trying to keep the cost as low as possible. And in the game, you can get one of these and you can shoot people because there's a machine gun on it. This one doesn't have a machine gun. Hopefully you can hear me over there. You can't worry. I don't know where it's going, but now I can see it. It's flying up into the light. And that is it. Probably just broken. I wanted to show you that in fact, the drone does work if you fix it. If it was broken. And it was kind of a neat little toy that packs in. It's safe not to use it outside, but actually it's probably easier to use outside. And the indoor environment. And flying it around in the office is a little challenging. It doesn't control side to side very well. However, you can buy a little toy helicopter that flies really well. They're a little more sensitive on verticals. Because you lower the throttle and it can get dropped a lot. But anyway, I just wanted to show you that this is this kind of cool MQ, whatever the heck it is, it can impact and does in fact work. It's not just a prop. I thought it was a prop. So the game that I played over the break was this game called The Unfinished One. It's out on a PlayStation. It's a PlayStation network exclusive. I was like once again, I'm always on the PlayStation. Yeah. But if you've heard of the game called The Journey or Flower or any of these sort of artsy games, this game is a lot like that. It's very artistic. It's a storybook essentially. There are definitely game puzzles in it and things like that. But it's really about the story and the atmosphere. And you play Monroe who's this orphan whose mom dies and you become an orphan. And she leaves you a silver paintbrush. Interesting. And one night at the orphanage, he's sleeping and all of a sudden he wakes up in the middle of the night and there's this door in the wall that he's never seen before. And he wanders through the door and he enters this mystical white realm. And when I say white, I mean like literally it's just a white blank space. But he takes that paintbrush he's got, the silver paintbrush, and he starts flattering black paint. And so you throw these globs of black paint around. And I've got a video that we'll take a look at and I'll describe it more. And the world emerges. And then it's a story that you follow along. And I'll show some of this in this video clip that you've got. Peculus! No. We insert these out the window. Anyway, so as you can see in the video it's a pretty cool game. It is a PlayStation exclusive. It's only like 15 bucks. It's a pretty short game. It took me a couple hours and I was kind of exploring everything and trying to get all the, there's like balloons that you can find and stuff. But it's nice because when you finish it, they give you little bonuses that make it much easier to go back and get all the other experts. So it's not like you're gonna, oh, spend 10 hours trying to get that one last balloon, a tin or something like that. There are other games where just trying to get a complete, you know, 100% super chore. But this game is not like that. It's a really enjoyable game. I think one of the coolest things in the game though, I was playing it and there were a couple moments where stuff came on the screen and I just went, wow! And a second later the kid in the game goes, wow! So it's like somehow they knew that these were, this was the reaction you were gonna have and they put it in the kid, but I just thought it was really weird. It was the first time it happened I was like, oh, that was really cool. And then the second time it happened I was like, oh, that's, you know, it was like you're reading your mind and you know what's really cool and what isn't really cool. So it's a good game, the unfinished one. I recommend it if you've got a PlayStation or if you're in the game's house, you get a chance to play it, check it out. Would you like to take a look? Oh wait, we already looked at the clip, didn't we? We already looked at the clip. It's hard to tell when you're doing everything virtually. So let's see, we've got a couple fan films. Oh yeah, oh, here. And the headset, right. Yeah, we'll do that. So we said we were gonna review. So do you have a, do you play with headsets at home? I have a pair of headphones, yeah. I just have no microphone though. So you just plug it in? Yeah. Which is okay because you're sitting in a computer. Yeah. So you know, I play at home and I sit in a chair a couple feet back on the TV and my brother, who I must congratulate for his, along with my sister-in-law, I just had a baby, they got me these for Christmas and this is a PlayStation pulse wireless headset. And it comes with a little, there you can see, on the right is this model that I'm holding and on the left is the new Elite model which is of course, more money. It's, I think you can get it for about $130 on Amazon. I'm not too concerned. Prices, you can look them up, there's a lot of sales and stuff. The new ones have some extra super bass features that actually are powerful enough to vibrate the headset. So like when you get hit by bullets and stuff, you can actually feel things, like in the football games they say like you can feel the tackles. What they might have done is built the vibrational motors from like cell phones. You're gonna vibrate them into the headset, so like it's like touch feedback or something in a way. These, which are the ones on the right, have a little boom, if you're asking. You can see it there and the photo pulls out but I'll hold it up in front of the way, the background. We tend to run our show a little dark because it makes it easier to do some of the other work that needs to be later. And then here's the little wireless key to plug in to your USB port. You can use these with Macs, PCs, and the PlayStation. There's separate volume control that adjusts between the chat and the music so you can actually emphasize somebody's chat. That only works on the PlayStation, but the other functions all work on PC and Mac and all that. They have virtual surround and the sound quality, if you're an audio file that listens to classical music or jazz and is really picky, these are not going to be the top experience. But they are good headphones and the music sounds, your MP3s, your iPod, the in-game audio sounds amazing. You'll hear all kinds of details that you probably wouldn't hear otherwise because they get lost in the shuffle of the environment. There's some noise cancelling that's in the headphones so they're really quiet when you put them on. You can do everything. I would say the range is pretty good. I was able to walk around quite a distance with them but lose line of sight to the receiver and then you start losing the signal. So some Bluetooth headsets are a little bit better. These are not Bluetooth, by the way. These are the only ones that work universally with a lot of things. I think that probably helps to keep the cost down with future headphones. So you don't have a mic on yours? Do you ever engage in any kind of voice chat? Sometimes I use Skype if I'm playing with my friends. So you can thought behind the scenes? Yeah. My brother and I use the prop cell phone as well. When you're on the same... what do you call it, network? Yeah. We used to do that when I was... Star Wars Battlefront. You know, where you could turn into a Jedi. So, I recommend these. If you're looking for a wireless headset for your PlayStation, if you're doing PC or Mac, I don't know how many other wireless headsets are out there. These are... At this time, they're pretty inexpensive. They've been out on the market for about a year or two. Probably two years at least. Like I said, there's a newer model that has some different newer features, including any sort of sound profile so that you can... The elite version allows you to load up a profile for sports, for movies that enhances various aspects of the sound. Being able to get up and go get a drink without having to unplug the cable, you know, get a snack, answer the door, anything. You don't even realize you have them on, and you can still hear what's going on. It's really nice. And then you don't have to disturb your neighbors late at night or anything if you really want to blast it. I think these are not even a quarter of the volume, and it's plenty loud. I don't even know if I'd want to go up full volume in some sort of damaged area or something. So, they're pretty good. Battery life. I think I got about five hours continuous gaming before I had to plug him in and charge him. There is a micro-USB port on it, so you can actually take a cable like you used to charge your phone, depending on the kind of phone you have, or your other wireless controllers, and still be connected and listen and charge at the same time. All right. I think we're nearly out of time. Yeah, out of time. If you'd like to say anything else, friends, I know I talk a lot. No, I don't think I have anything left to say. I haven't even seen the band films yet. Well, next time we're going to be bringing you... which game are you going to be reviewing next time? Frozen Synapse. Frozen Synapse. And I'll be talking about Max Payne 3, which I got my hands on. And probably some other stuff, and I think we're going to go back and probably find a new one for me. And you'll see just that it's going to change dramatically because we're going to be experimenting. Yeah. Although we're probably seeing a new one. Yeah. All right. So, let's queue up those end credits. And revise. Yeah, revise the end credits. And we're going to be having some...
