Episode 39: US Feds, Fallout 76 Bug, Avatar & Slow death of a Galaxy
Welcome once again to our insanity, this week the professor brings us good news about how the Uncle Sam is allowing the opportunity for online games to be operated by fans when the game is abandoned like a box full of puppies. Can you help give a game a good home?
The DJ says Buck is famous with lawyers, what do you think, is he or is he just a legend in his own lunch box? Perhaps he is famous like Kim Kardashian (we apologise to those who aren’t intellectually challenged here) who was attacked by Jon Bon Jovi (who is believe it or not OLDER then Buck) for only having made a porno.
Also, the Fallout76 BETA has a bug that deletes the almost 50 gig game forcing a reinstall. Now that could really suck, particularly if your internet is as bad as the DJ’s. We also discuss the classic Runescape appearing in mobile platform for fans to play once more, and it is a hit.
Speaking of the DJ, he brings us news about the Avatar sequels that are currently in production. It is looking like a new Rocky Balboa franchise folks. But honestly, will this be a series of beautiful movies that are as pointless as an umbrella in a hurricane like the first movie?
Buck brings us a story of a galactic scale drama in the slow tortured death of a galaxy. But we must ask, is this in fact the first recognised example of an interstellar cupcake with the Milky Way being the victim? But let’s take a moment of silence to witness the death of the Small Magellanic Cloud.
In games the Professor plays statues, the video game not the kids one, which apparently might be more fun. The DJ is playing Red Dead Redemption 2, and no, has not been drawing disgusting images in the snow. Buck plays Metro 2033 and is shooting Nazis and Commies.
We hope you enjoy our insanity as much as we do, it is always better to be crazy in a group then on your own. Until next week stay safe and watch out for the penguins, they are out there.
