- Says they should do Bonk instead.
- They lecture the new GameStop CEO.
- As if he doesn't realize digital is a threat to his business.
- Ian mocks that they are "pro-GameStop" like they're "pro-Blizzard".
- No, it'd be more like them insulting customers pissed at GameStop.
- boomer pat wishes radio shack still sold bundles of wire and such
- They rant about Snyder again.
- "Batman shouldn't kill."

- Pat complains about Watchmen film. (And on Twitter.)
- "It's a comic book. It's fantasy." -Pat
- "People don't watch comic book movies to see reality." -Ian
- I thought that was all you idiots loved Black Panther. Or the references in X-Men to gay rights struggle. Other shit like Captain America Civil War.
- "politics in, reality out"
- That explains Wakanda.
- "politics in, reality out"
- I thought that was all you idiots loved Black Panther. Or the references in X-Men to gay rights struggle. Other shit like Captain America Civil War.
- "Keep your murder out of my comic books." -Pat & Ian (essentially).
- They then talk about comics being fictional having nothing to do with reality.

cu podcast 154:
- nerd crew: disney bought x-men!
- boomer pat watches law & order SVU
- Ian received a free Analogue Mega Sg for his half-review.
- Pat says he might buy one (unlikely since he seems to prefer free stuff).
- Pat actually played 40 hours of Breath of the Wild.
- Ian says Vonnie played 400 and may 100% it.
- Ian's father played Skyrim.
- His dad has over 1,000 hours in Skyrim.
- They now play No Man's Sky together.
- Ian might get VR for No Man's Sky.
- Atari VCS update:
- This is another example of them commenting outside their expertise.
- "if they're changing the chipset, they have nothing done." says Ian; "Custom software that relies on the chip." says Pat
- They seem to think that changing CPUs requires software rewrites. Despite the fact that good software is portable. User interfaces are high-level and should run on anything.
- From the IndieGoGo page, this is going to be off-the-shelf x86 hardware that can run Linux or Windows no problem.
- It also says it will have access to Steam, web browsers, and streaming video sties.
- So this is basically a mini-PC. Dell and other companies sold similar machines for around $200 (which was the original price of the base VCS model).
- They bring up the Coleco Chameleon, but that was a weird hybrid FPGA/ARM chip. The tech there was unusual (and probably just mentioned to build hype). x86 is generic and works.
- Is this thing a good buy? No.
- But it's not a complete disaster like Pat & Ian are pretending. (They're not alone, a bunch of other Retro Gaming YouTubers have stupid complaints.) At best it will be mediocre. Some people will get cheap mini-PCs for Steam games.
- It's just a cash grab. It's a Linux PC with a custom shell. That's it.
- The real scam is how little work they actually need to do to make this work.
- Are computers magic to these people?
- "Reminder, this is an audio podcast."
- Pat & Ian bought their Avengers tickets in advance.
- They complain about scalping even though retro game market is based on it.
- Andre and Pat have "podcast telephone" conversations that last an hour.
- Says he should record them. God help us.
- "postulate" is Pat's word of the month
- I postulate Pat's career is dead.
- Pat celebrates Disney becoming a megacorp that owns all movie properties.
- Wants Deadpool to show up in Endgame.
- Hopes they've secretly cast Fantastic Four.
- "i don't why weird things happen to me in bathrooms" -Ian
- Some guy at Wondercon deliberately went back into a bathroom stall to prevent Ian from using the toilet. (I assume that's what he was doing, anyway.)
- Pat didn't know Mario + Rabids game existed.
- Ian and Pat both call it "turn-based strategy".
- It's tactics, idiots.
- Ian and Pat both call it "turn-based strategy".
- Ian: "Kart racers aren't racers."
- Roo from Clan of the Grey Wolf carried around his $10k Earthbound prototype in a beat-up Jaws box.
cu 154 aftershow:
- They complain about a place called Redford's Diner in San Diego.
- I immediately believe they are wrong.
- Pat's sister's first husband had a couple kids from a previous marriage.
- This is the marriage that broke up due to him being a World of Warcraft addict.
- Pat's dad found his Cabbage Patch Doll.
- Pat's is buying a replacement outfit for it. He's going to ship it home.
- Pat's dad bought bought a Coke float for himself, but not Pat.
- Pat speculates his father denied him on purpose.
- He's right. Pat's dad must be a cheapskate. They had cable and sent their kids to a private school, but never went to Disney World. (Also, private school doesn't make people more successful. Look at Pat.)
- Pat speculates his father denied him on purpose.
- They then read a bunch of websites that rank "worst cereals".
I do wonder if Pat is internally crying about the collapse of the Mueller investigation. He thought the couple of arrests/convictions earlier on would be the beginning of the end for Trump.
I don't think Pat blamed him, it's just my speculation that without the AVGN, the fundraiser probably took a hit. Pat's been riding James' coattails for years.
