Pointless Podcast #10 my review of the show

Hosted by Kevin Pereira with Special Guest "Drama" from Rob&Big, and the Creative Director for Planet Side 2 Matt Higby.

The show started off great Kevin and Drama got into a conversation about Drama's rise from an assistant to a guy who pulled up to the Death Squad studio in a new Lamborghini. Drama got into it, he talked about initially feeling crushed when he went to Rob and asked for help, and Rob basically said "go do it" which meant on your own. Drama thanked Rob for doing that because it forced him to learn the things that he needed to learn to make the company happen and are the skills he uses time and time again in all of his business ventures.

Kevin towards the end of the interview brought out a pocket humidifier for smoking. It's the PAX vaporizer, and if you want to know more type that into Google. I am not a huge vape guy so can't speak too much about it. I only mentioned it because Kevin gave it such an high praise.

They took a break and then came back to talk to Matt Higby.

Before Kevin went into the interview with Matt. Kevin got into some NRA gun control stuff and the chat went ape shit. Kevin I think was trying to share the experience of being at a gun show at the same time that the Obama made his announcement about assault weapons. I can imagine it was an intense and frightening experience no matter what side of the issue your on. Some people are just nuts, and then a room full of weapons doesn't help that. It doesn't matter that most people in that room are sane, just the 20-30 "Gun Nuts" are a little intimidating. I have been to one years ago and it was for Military Academy purposes so I had my squad with me. A little different but the same crazy people where there.

Kevin tried to diffuse it with talk of porn star's with the Producer Brian. Brian also co-hosts Joe Rogan's show. Not sure how much that worked since the religion, left v.right comments flooded the chat. It dried up pretty quick with only comments hear and there as soon as Matt joined the show.

Then Kevin got into Plant Side 2 with Higby and I gotta say it sounds amazing. I am gonna link the episode at the bottom of the blog, if your just interested in that part skip to like the last hour and enjoy!

Planet Side 2 is a mmofps[Massive Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter] that takes you into battles on the larges HALO map you've ever imagined with 10x the PVP. Which is all it is PVP. Also you can use Mech, Tank, Helo's, there is bullet drop, and so on.

I have not as of yet been able to play PS2 but it's free to join and not a game that will be one of the typical on-line deals that if you want to level you have to pay. It's pretty even across the board, at least according to Kevin and Matt. Several people in the chat downloaded the game and started playing before the show was over.

The only downside to the game is the learning curve. The game is hard, it actually requires thought and player  immersion. Be willing to invest into learning the game and dying a lot, or find a friend who is into it and have them walk you around. Both Kevin and Matt recommended finding a friend as it makes it easier too get up to speed.

They have suggested getting a team Death Squad together and Matt will bring his team and having a mini-tourney. Both Matt and Kevin give there gamer tags so if you wanna play with them you gotta watch the show and write 'em down. Kevin mentioned to each of his guests trying to work something out with the podcast to hook up the people that joined in with free gear(Drama) and in game goodies/upgraded profile(Matt Higbe).

I had a lot of fun watching and participating in the pod-cast some minor trollish behavior but not bad. The time the show was on and where it actually was happening was hard to find and Kevin did not post it till the day of, kinda the last minute. Hopefully it will be better scheduled and posted on the Pointless Forum in the future. That it, hope you found this useful. Don't forget to add my blog and leave a comment.
