The HotSpot - Episode 395

What's on your desk?

Holy veal, this is the first time I heard anybody talk about Vette! ever. Wasn't my favourite open world driving game of the era (that title belongs to Test Drive 3) but it was something special.

Vinny, buddy, what are you doing with some mitutoyos on your desk?

Are you okay?

dang vinny got those mitutoyos

Brad has literally asked that same cocktail machine question and got the exact same answer before. I forget which exact podcast but I'm sure it was when Vinny went down to California Extreme to buy arcade machines.

@andrew2696: Brad harbors deep guilt from his younger days for eating on that Ms. Pac Man machine. We’re here for you Brad - it’s ok you did nothing wrong!

I think one could make an argument that the game saves for the PS2 are art. They make those blue blocky towers and all. Art!

Keep those jeans high and tight!

@alex I have an e-kit I'd like to be able to record with someday, curious what you plan to use for that?

Anyone have a link on the stream on the guy who's doing that stuff

@humanity: I can absolutely imagine Brad being the type of kid to be anxious about doing that. No one said he could but no one stopped him.

And then it traumatized him.

Sabian Metal-X will last you for the rest of your life, and I have played in punk and metal band, also I hit FUCKING HARD. still rocking those and a wuhan china. Alex on point as usual. I have been using the metal x from a cymbal pack for 10 years, and i use ahead sticks with the weird carbon core and also wooden sticks, in the hard negative F degrees to the sweaty 90 F degree weather. theyre solid as hell

what is great about the Moby Dick computer voice is that it is like anyone who isn't seriously into English lit having to read Herman Melville. the long sigh. yes!
