0:35 Let's see. Hopefully I am live. Am I? Oh, jeez. Oh, okay. Looks like I got volume. All right. I'm going to move this over here. All right. [clears throat] So, in a nutshell, hope everybody's doing all right. I was up late last night. agonizing over whether the Seahawks could win and they won pretty easily. It was the one of the fir It doesn't happen very often. Okay, because my team suck, okay, that on the same night I had three teams going that are my favorite. I had Manchester United. They were playing Manchester City. Okay, it's usually a guaranteed loss. Wasn't that like that in the old days?

1:30 I had the Toronto Maple Leafs playing the Winnipeg Jets. Okay. And then in the divisional round of football, I had um the Seahawks against the 49ers who have just been gritty, tough, all those things that that you expect from from a very well coached and very good team. and something's got to give. Okay. I never have those nights where everybody wins out. Well, I start off in the morning and I said, "If I have to have a win, it's got the number one, it's got to be Seahawks. All right. Number two would be Toronto. And the last thing would be Manchester United because, you know, the season's kind of uh in turmoil.

2:26 Well, the day started off with a two nothing win over Manchester City. And boy did they look impressive. Okay, which you can never figure out this stupid team. And I went, uhoh. Okay, so what's going to give? Is it going to be the Maple Leafs? Well, I agonize all day. We go run some errands. I go take care of some things. A matter of fact, I'll show you what I I I went and took care of uh as a matter of fact. Um and I come home, my wife goes does some things with uh my mother-in-law and I uh what's that? Vivor's threat and protection. I was trying to sell me something. Um, I finally get ready. I don't even eat because I I I just didn't want to eat, you know, because my, you know, my nerves were shot. Yeah. Over sports, right? Um, and uh, the Maple Leafs start first and they look horrible. They look half asleep. And of course, it's a wrench in my gut because I can't stand when they they play poorly. You know, if they play really well and they get beat, you can almost live with it. Like like the other night, they got killed 6-1, okay, to the

4:00 Mammoth and uh but they just got through playing Colorado and the night before. And the Mammoth, it was a schedule loss more than anything else. And I was kind of, you know, I I was okay with it. I lived with it. I didn't watch the highlights or anything. Um, but you know, you could live with that. And then you lose to the Golden Knights in OT when you had the game one and they tied up with seven seconds left. That that hurt. Didn't bother me because they played pretty well. And um, one of the guys got hurt during the game, so it kind of threw everything off. and you've got to be really good to play the Western Conference this year.

4:47 So, I was okay with it. So, they're playing badly and that just drives me insane. Then the Seahawks come on and the first play of the game, the guy runs it back for a touchdown and uh I went, "Okay, this is good." But then they go up seven 17 nothing and I go, "Uhoh." I go, when we go up this this much, you know, the way the bookies control everything and, you know, everything is, you know, scripted, I think, in some ways, um, they'll come back and they start and San France starts marching down the field. They get a field goal. Then they get another field goal and it's 17 to to six. And then on the other side, it's three to one, okay, going into the third period. And I'm like, oh boy, Niners are going to come back. And then here comes And then, you know, here come here comes the 49ers.

5:55 Well, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Maple Leafs tie it up and then the the Seahawks open a pretty good lead. Now I'm feeling a little bit better about everything. I go, "Okay, at least if we can get a point out of this, we get a point out of this." And then and you know, I'm getting tired because it's it's it's around 10:00 and I I just don't I can't stay up like I used to, especially when I was agonizing all day. It really tires you out. So, we tie it up. We go into overtime, Maple Leafs win. I go, "Oh, no. Oh, no. Not the Seahawks. Not Not after you got the number one seed. Do not be one and done." I go, "I I can understand losing in the Championship Conference, but not that day, right?" Nah, they opened up a huge lead and and the 49ers were just physically too beat up. And you got to commend them for just, you know, fighting as hard as they did. But, uh, they were definitely outclassed this night. So, um, 41-6, you know, that felt pretty good. So, I said, "Okay, I'm going to bed."

7:15 And, uh, slept pretty good. Um, but, uh, I I got up in the middle of the night. Usually I I have a hard time sleeping, but I got up in the middle of the night and I went, "All right, let me think what you know, you know, what do I want to do today?" Because I got tomorrow off. So, um, I knew I was going to come on and I was trying to figure out now, you know, that I got a few days. I really wanted to figure out what I was going to do with the channel. You know, how how we're going to go forward. Okay. So, the first thing is you're going to see a bunch of tests. I'm gonna start testing some stream stuff. Okay, we're going to try to figure this out and how we can stream. And then I think February 1, I'm going to start the first phase. And what I mean by that is February 1, instead of our usual, you know, sit down and talk. I'm gonna try to stream an entire game. Um, well, not the entirety, but, you know, we're going to start something and we're going to try to on February 1st, we're going to try start streaming at least twice a week to start. Okay.

8:40 Um, and I want to start simple. Matter of fact, this week at some point, um, I went I went up to the bearded brown coat, which, uh, we were up in Ocala and I needed a box for my Warhammer quest cards cuz I want to separate everything and get everything all squared away. So, I went and I got this box and they had the clearance thing and I [clears throat] went I go, I know I got this game, but I don't think I have the basis loaded version. Um, and this game normally was 60 bucks, but they had it for 20 bucks and it had everything in it. So, baseball highlights 20 45. So, I kind of want to start testing some things and I think I'm going to try something real simple like a nice little playthrough with this game and um because you could play it solo and you know each game takes about four to seven minutes to play. All right.

9:55 And you can play it you know as a series and stuff like that. on the never forget I played um I played in a tournament with Mike Fitzgerald and my friend Berky. Um and it was I I forgot which convention was at. I think it was

10:23 Oh god, I forgot what it was. I think it was Origins, but I I met Mike Fitzgerald and you know, he's the guy that created this game and and you know, I said, you know, pleasure to meet you, you know, blah. He goes, I know who you are. I watch you all the time. And you know, that kind of, you know, I I I felt real good about that. And um and the thing was he goes, "Why don't you join join us for a tournament? We need one more player." I go, "Yeah, sure. I'll play." You know, and I hadn't, you know, I played the game, but I never played in a tournament format. And I think I played it like twice at that point. This is going back some years. And um I made it all the way to the finals and we played a seven game series. It was tied 33 and it came down to the last card. Okay.

11:24 the last card. And I either had to take the card from my my reserves or use my final card. And I decided to use my final card. I should if I used the card from my reserve, I would have won the tournament. And I I I think you would have won I I would have won uh some extra uh expansions for the game or something or the game itself. I forgot what it was, but I came in second and I'd never really played the game. And the guy that won, you know, played it like a million times and I was like, "Hey, not bad. That was that was a pretty good showing." See, but but the loss still stays with me. You you know, that's the thing. You It's good.

12:12 There's no participation prizes. You got to get there. So, I was um I was I was pretty pretty thrilled and and uh so now I have two additions of this and the auction that we're going to do. I'm going to put one in with I believe it has some expansions in it, but I like the nicer box, so I'm going to keep this one. And for 20 bucks, I got got that in. So, I'm going to do a couple things with this. Um, I did get something from And then the next thing I want to try is a little more detailed. Um, and that is going to be including this. Yes. Which just came to my house. Uh, the Plum Island Horror, which um, this is the expansion for it. I had I have Plum Island Horror up there, but they sent me another copy, so I'm going to be putting that into the auction, which is pretty cool. Um, and I've got a bunch of other stuff that I've been sent and stuff like that, you know, and um I, you know, this one's going to be a little different, that's for dog on sure. Went to Ali's yesterday.

13:30 Got some cool stuff. Uh, let's see. Uh, Matthew says, "Good morning. Your Seahawks killed it last night. 41 to6." Yeah, I would like to see more 4 A and Hero Quest playthroughs. Yeah, I think once I get things set up and once I'm able to purchase some of the stuff I need, um, I we'll get into those more detailed playthroughs. Um, but uh, you know, I'm hoping that we can get kind of get to do that in February. Um, where we can maybe do the beginning of a game live and then tape the rest. I don't know. You know, I'll have to figure it out. Uh, I grew up a Seahawk fan from the start in 75.

14:17 Same here. Haven't watched the NFL an an NFL game since Russell Wilson threw an intership. Oh, that may I All I want is just one more championship to make up for that because they were robbed with the Steelers which was the what they which they call the most crooked game ever. Okay. Um because how many bad calls and how how much [ __ ] it was, you know, like like Bill Cow, some great coach. No, he isn't. That's why I can't watch CBS and listen to him

14:58 because he didn't win that game. The refs won that game. And you know, I understand losing and and and honestly, you know, we won we won the the next one and then the year after um you know, we lost that game, but it's our own fault. We shot ourselves in the foot or, you know, thrown the ball. Stupid. What was it? It was second down. It was second down. And we throw the ball and we have a timeout in our pocket. It was stupid. I think they were trying to maximize I I forgot the the excuse that they made, but it was the stupidest thing. And and with all those people right there, it was the stupidest route to run. It was so dumb. And then there was past interference on it on top of it.

15:55 But, you know, again, haunts my memories. I can't even watch that. I can't watch that play. But, um, these Hawks, they're in the championship game. If we could just get one more Super Bowl, I'll be happy. You know, I can die a peaceful life. But we'll see. you know, we'll see. Um, and then if the Maple Leafs can just get a Stanley Cup. Jesus, 1967, I was I was a small lad. That was the last time. Didn't even start playing attention to hockey until, you know, the 70s.

16:43 But, you know, we've always had weird things happen to us. Weird team. What can I tell you? But Maple Leafs forever. Yeah. So, you know, we got that going on. Uh I started a bunch of reviews. Um I'm trying to get all my Warhammer Quest cards in line. Uh getting things ready. Um we're going to be doing that. Hero Quest for Against Darkness, D 100, uh League of Dungeoners through, you know, we're going to start all these projects this year. Um, and I I said it I I'm determined. Um, but we got to take baby steps. And if we can just raise enough money to finish off this project and get everything where we need to do, I'm doing one last auction. If we do it, we do it. If we don't, we don't. Um, and uh, that's the way I feel about it. Um, but we got a lot of stuff. Um, I've got that giant game stick from X Arcade. Go take a look at it. They're usually like 500 bucks. I think I'm going to put one of those up because I got two of them. Um, I've got some other I got some emulators I might put up. Uh, really weird stuff I'm going to put up. Uh, I got another F. Let me tell you, the guy that won the comic

18:14 book lot for for 200 He won it for 250 bucks. All right. He got a f 150 count box full of stuff. Just two books in there were were worth 200 200. It was $225. I was looking at it. I go, "Wow, that's $225." Then I started looking at the rest of stuff. It was almost like there had to be about $800 to $900 worth of stuff in there. But that's okay. [ __ ] your Maple Leafs. It's all about the Dallas Stars. Well, Matthew, you know, if that's the way you feel, good for you. And and

19:06 what was I talking about? Oh yeah. Uh I I'm really kind of I'm thinking I have a painted version of Cthulhu Death May [clears throat] Die. Uh I just don't think I'm ever going to play it and I might put Black Plague with it as well as the expansion for it because the only zombite I really care about is Night of the Living Dead. I'm kind of over the whole uh Sean thing. Um, so I think I think uh I might I might I might put that as a lot. Um, I do have an actual photography camera which is worth a thousand bucks. Uh, but I just can't. It doesn't work for me as far as streaming.

20:02 Um, and it's one of those really good Sony a6400s that are almost like collector's items because people love them. Um, and I may I may put that up. It's going to be a real mishmash type of thing, you know? We're just trying to get over the top here. Um, so it's going to be all kinds of different stuff from video games to comic books to board games. Um, I think you should keep The Night of the Living Dead. You painted that in gray so well. Yeah, I I No, I'm not keep I'm not getting rid of that. That's the only one I'm keeping. I'm keeping that. You know, as far as zombie games, I think there's there's kind of only three I care about. Night of the Living Dead, um, My Giant Zombie Box, which I have over there. I got Have you guys ever seen that? Hold on. Hold on. Uh, and of course, Night of the Zeds, my boy Herman Lutman, who's doing a another edition. And I told him, I told him, you know, I never asked anything of you, Herman. I go, but you know something, I got to be one of the dudes in that game because I love that game so much. I was kidding with him, of course.

21:26 And he left. He goes, "No, I'll put you in there." He put me in plum island order, so you know, I can't say much. Let's see. Oh, yeah. Here we go. Here it is. [groaning] Oh, let me get in this thing. I'll be putting some roll and write stuff, rad zones, you know, in there. But I had gotten this a while ago. I really like this version of Twilight Creations presents Zombies, the ultimate collector box. And this thing I thought was just cool, you know, because it just came with everything. Hold on here.

22:12 Oh, yeah. I mean, you have enough bullets in here to last you a lifetime. Came with a CD for a soundtrack that you could play while you're playing. I might I might do this one time. Uh, what do we got in here? There's so much stuff in here. I don't want to just start ripping up. Zombie 4, Zombie 13, Zombie 11, uh, Dead Time Stories, Scenario Book. I should do this one time. This is so good. Hold on. I want to look through this a little bit. Ageimonia, I I was surprised didn't go. So now I I've made it a personal vendetta to Oh, heart.

23:05 You get all these things. Bullets. You get more bullets than you'll ever need in a lifetime. Let me take off this top here. Hold on. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. I don't think I've ever played the whole thing. And you get more zombies than you will ever need in your life. I couldn't imagine painting all these guys. No. And this game is so good that I think you only need to paint the the heroes, but it's all separated by you have like what you're going to play. You pull out the little tray and you play that. And it's all in order. Is this the original one? Okay. Yeah.

23:54 Zombies third edition starts here. Yep. With this one, it's kind of your end all be all in and your tiles. Then you would go to zombies 2. Zombies, of course. You got your rules here. And zombies three, mole walkers for the end.

24:29 Five, schools out forever. Six, six feet under. Seven, send in the clowns. Oh, this is the one with clowns. Uh, eight is Jailbreak, which is another good one. And then it has another layer underneath, of course. Just so good. This is And no, it's not the most high high high high quality game in the world, but as far as fun, I mean, isn't that what it's all about? Do we have to have milliondoll components? Uh, let's put this back on top. I will never get rid of this because this was hard to get. Now, you probably find on eBay for nothing.

25:24 I know it's out of print. That's what I'm not sure. I think it is. Let's see what else is there on here. Okay, so six feet under I said uh 6.66 fill in the blank. Then you have zombie 7 in the clowns. Jailbreak, which is eight. Ashes to Ashes is nine. Feed the Addiction, which is 10. Zombies Death Inc. is 11. Zombies 12. Zombie Zoo. Zombie 13, which is Defcon Z. Space Bites, which is 14. And then 15, another one bites the dust. I'm Dying of Thirst, and Zombies.

26:14 also includes Bagago Bullets, Bago Hearts, the official zombie board game soundtrack from Midnight Syndicate, plus hundreds of zombies, humans, dogs, clowns, kids, office workers, and more. Oh, the split on the side. Zombie Zombie Corpse, which is the army, which is one of my favorites. So, do you you know the the thing about this is is you look at this game, this is one of the ultimate zombie games as far as I'm concerned. And I don't know how we got into this, but we did. But I mean, cool mini or not, with Zombicide, Zombicide was good, but then when you beat it to death the way they did, you know, I mean, you could say the same thing here in a bit, but I don't know. There's just something there's something about this game that I just, you know, you have Kickstarters with with 9 million things. This is just a little box. Set it up. Play. Pray you Pray you survive. Good luck. All right, let me put this back over there.

27:41 Let me put this back over there. kind of like my final girl set, you know, and my Arkham Horror, you know, those are my my big horror games and then everything else is kind of whatever. Um, I'm getting down, you know, I'm going to have one more good one and then that's I think that's where we're going to we're going to hold it. So, I you know, I'll start late in the week and we'll let it run to early next week and um that's the way we're going to play that resistance.

28:38 I'm just looking at the stuff I have over here. Lower ring hostage hostage negotiation negotiator. I got the big huge box set for that. I might do that. Then, you know, when I get things finally settled and the internet right and everything like that, I like to do some more complex things and just kind of leave it on the table and then film it. Do live parts. film live parts. So half of it will be live, half of it, you know, especially things that may take, you know, multiple multiple hours. I don't want to sit here for multiple multiple hours. But I like to play things, play for a little bit, then come back, you know, go leave, do my my other things I got to do, come back to it, and do stuff like that.

29:31 Uh, let's see. Okay, we had Matthew being inappropriate and Robert said, "Geez, show a little respect, Matthew." Uh, you are who you are. I think you should keep the Night of the Living Dead. You painted it so well. Oh, yeah. Ah, yeah. I liked it. Um, actually I sent that copy of the gray I painted to Ricky Royal, uh, my dear friend. Uh, I don't think he liked the game very much, but I sent it to him and I painted it for him. And, um, I painted all the zombies and stuff like that and some of the main heroes of it.

30:21 And, uh, I said, "Here, you know, I wanted to do something cuz, you know, you're a good friend." Um, and I had two copies. So, I got to repaint that. Only this time, I think I'm going to do something a little bit more different. Uh, I think you uh zombies. That's so cool. And play the soundtrack. Creepy fun. Includes my co-workers. Rob, do you have any old Magic cards?

30:54 the old Magic cards I have. I have alpha and beta cards that I have kind of locked up and those I'm kind of waiting on to sell. But as far as Magic right now, I think I have the Final Fantasy stuff. Do I?

31:25 And you know something? I've been playing a lot more card games, but I've been playing them by myself. And the game I'm really There's a couple games that I really, really like. Um, and then I got tanks versus I got the tank game coming. Uh, trading card market is the in the middle of a move, so I'm not bothering them. Uh, so I'm letting Ste, poor Steve, he's a Bills fan. We were texting each other last night because I wanted to see his team win because uh, the rest of my family, well, most of my family are Bills fans. And um

32:12 you know I should do this. I mean it's a roll and right print and play game. I mean, Toby Toby Toby does great work and I always say well worth it.

32:43 Trying to think what else I had for you guys. Yeah, because I'm going to be putting together some really, really nice stuff, but it's going to kind of be mish mash all over the place. The one thing that I keep on arguing with myself is whether I should keep my Frost Grave collection, which is insane, and I'm looking at some of that in there now. But uh Dungeons of Dragon I god I'm going to put together some decent boxes and then I'm going to have everything condensed to what I want to do and how I want to do things and I'm going to concentrate on those games and if newer games come in that that can fit that mold then fantastic.

33:39 Uh, Maladom, I'm I'm looking to get the two expansions and maybe doing something with that a little bit. Uh, I'm on the fence as far as keeping core space and I have so much of it, but I'm really arguing with myself over that one. I think I might just keep it because I like the terrain. I don't know. We'll figure it out. We always do, right? But I mean, that's that's the game plan, you know? Um kind of changing kind of changing how things go.

34:29 Um, I kind of think, um, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. [sighs]

34:54 Wonder if I should do dungeon request again. Yeah, I got to clean up these shelves. I got to clean up this table again. Um I've been working out here a bit trying to get some stuff done. Yeah, just I'll get it all figured out. I always do. I always always do. And uh you know, like I said, we're going to we're going to take a run at it. But the fir Yeah, it is a nice game. That's why I keep it in there, I think. Um, you know, sticking with February 1st as the first phase, that's a Sunday. Um, you know, coming on in the morning, having everything set up the night before and trying to kind of do a little bit and see how that works out.

35:51 um and try to do things on Sundays and Thursdays. And if I do that, I think we'll we'll do all right. And we'll see how it goes. We'll we'll we'll just take it a little at a time. Uh we just need to get a little bit more of that equipment. And if we get that, I think we're in good shape and we can kind of progress to where we need to be. Um, I'm going to try to get this all figured out. Um, matter of fact, I'm going to Best Buy today. Um, just get everything all priced up again and uh, and try to figure, you know, cut some corners, but make sure that we get it really, really done well. So, there you go.

36:42 Go Hawks, monster. Go Hawks. Um, then I got the new Wingspan expansion. Uh, my grandson and I have been looking at all the birds. We really like that. I'll tell you, Stonemire Games. Dear God, that guy just he's special. He really is. Really is special. Special dude. Just knows what he's doing. All right, I think that covers everything. It's 8:47. Uh, I've got some things to do. I'm going to take it easy today after a long evening of just complete and utter torture um and agonization. And then now we'll see we'll see what happens next week.

37:37 And then uh we'll go from there. Then we got the winter break coming up. So, I got a few weeks where I'm going to kind of relax because there's going to be no hockey. Um, and just nice and easy, right? Nice and easy. What would you get? See, I can't even get rid of Star of Aaros because that piece of garbage is You got to have the 1.5. You know, they ruined they ruin any value of the the old game. If you ever want to get rid of the old game, it's it's completely useless because they had to come out with 1.5 version. I mean, it's just I can't stand when companies do that. If you can't get it right, I understand updating things and stuff like that, but don't make it where you got to pay for it.

38:37 And that's where it gets a bit much. What's this? Target your new weekly ad is here. 25% off all area rugs. Wow. Always. Uh, so I'm gonna go take a shower. go enjoy my day. I think we've covered it all, my dear friends. I think we've got it all figured out. So, the way it's going to go either next week or the end of this week, we're going to have a small auction. It's going to be mishmash. It's going to be board games.

39:23 It's going to be video games. It's going to be comic books. It's going to be equipment. It's going to be all kinds of things. Uh so, we can just get over the top and get the things that we need. Okay. Uh, at some point during this week, I'm going to come on and try to do a game that is, I'd say about takes about 30 minutes. Uh, I'm going to try to do a little baseball highlights, 20 45. So, we're going to try to come live and do that kind of test because I'm going to test the setup. It may not be good because we don't have the internet in place, but February 1st, we are going to try to start getting things where they need to be.

40:11 So, there's going to be a bunch of test things in between. Um, so just be aware, we are trying to push forward and uh we're going to start phase one on February 1st. Then when the new internet, that'll be phase two. That's where we're going to try to be a little bit more detailed in what we do. And then phase three, see what the response is, see how it goes, and decide what to do from there. And I think that kind of works. Um, and we'll figure everything from there. All right, my dear friends. I'm tired. I'm going to go spend time with my grandson playing Animal Crossing. We have a lot of work to do out out on our island. Uh, love you all.

41:00 Hope you all have a wonderful, wonderful Sunday. And uh, until next time, it's your old pal Rob. You never know. I might come on tomorrow since I'm off tomorrow. Or I might be working out here cleaning things up. I don't know. One of one of many things can happen. That's for dog. Until next time, it's your old pal Rob. We shall see you soon.
