Pay no attention to the people behind the red curtain. Yes, that's us. Oh, wrong scene. Oh, there we go. Now we're right, I think. Are we right? No. Are we? No, we're not. We're definitely not right. All right. So what we're actuallygoing to be doing that at the end of the stream. So if you or anybody else comes in, Tori, since you are here, that'll be your job to remind newcomers that they have to follow all three channels to be entered to win, and they have to follow all three before we get to the section of the stream that we do it. So there's that. And today we're actually going to be kind of talking about in some realm what we were talking about, but not just only on Spiderman or a multiverse, but more or less the Metaverse and what it may actually look like. This is true. Welcome to the Madhouse Presents Group Therapy, where we talk about games. Are you about our different viewpoints, dive into the strange or whatever we decide in the moment? I am Alex and this is Joker. Hi. How are you doing today? We are talking about the Metaverse.


So dramatic music. What is the Metaverse? We're going to actually talk about it because there's been quite a few different depictions of what a Metaverse would really look like, especially with the coming ups and advancements in VR that have been made in the last decade alone, let alone the last 20 years that VR has potentially been around. So we're going to talk about that tonight. Sure are. What is the Metaverse, Joker? Well, according to Facebook CEO, the Metaverse is going to be a platform in which everybody can interact socially, play games, do business, not only just conduct business meetings like we've probably seen in the last few years. Well, last two years, thanks to COVID, but actually conduct business, sell products. There's currently a market spike in cryptocurrencies and using different types of cryptocurrencies to buy virtual land. Virtual land? Yes. Virtual land is being transferred for millions of dollars. And this is pixels of land at that. That's interesting. Pixels of land. I mean, what would be the square foot? How would you figure out square footage? So it's really not even square footage. Yeah. I mean, just for like layman's terms for myself or somebody out there who doesn't quite understand. So if you look at it, say right now, you got us on a monitor at full screen. And if we were what's the word I'm looking for? Full resolution. So HD, which is 1080p, right? Yes. And what 1080p represents is a Pixel rating on the screen and it's 1900 by 1080. So 1900 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high. So that is what 1080 represents is Pixel rating. And a Pixel is a very, very small electrical or some type of Cube of light that represents a surface area. Well, what they're doing is they are selling virtual pixels in a virtual world. And however many pixels or blocks that you buy, I think it's considered one square block, like real life block. What is it like 250ft by 250ft in real life, I think is considered a block of like a neighborhood or a business district on a street. Well, that block is then sold for a value of cryptocurrency, and it can't be sold again. It's like NFCs or. Hold on. I'm trying to remember what NFT stands for here. Hold on. N ft. It's like final sale, no returns. Yeah.


Wow. Nft didn't come back with the actual definition of it. Nfts are unique cryptographic tokens that exist on a blockchain. So similar to how cryptocurrency is transferred from one to another, making the understanding of transfer. And what is a blockchain that multiple people that are on the Internet have to verify that an exchange has happened and that's how they keep track of it. So NFTs, which are called non fungible token, is what NFT stands for, and they exist on a blockchain and cannot be replicated. So once it's created, there's only one of it. And if you want it, you have to buy it. It's like somebody buying a physical piece of art. Somebody can only paint it once. They can create additional prints, but they can only actually paint the physical original once. Correct. Exactly. And one individual back in. Hold on, let me see. I'm trying to remember what the web pages is. The million dollar page. He's thinking really hard right now. You can't see his face in audio land, but he had a really scrunched up face when he was searching. Okay, so if you want to follow us at home or as long as you're not driving or operating machinery at this point, there is a thing that was called and it's www. Dot million dollar homepage.com. And what it was is a College kid, I think I want to say back in either the early 2000s or late 90s, created a web page and offered up a single Pixel on this page for $1. And you bought pixels to put whatever imagery you wanted on it for $1. And there was a million pixels. Once they were done, they were done. So you could do a million penises. You could have if you really wanted to. Or you can do one giant penis worth a million dollars. And he's filled it up. And it still exists to this day because it could be across the whole thing for those watching on Twitch. So again, if you're listening on the podcast audio site only, we do stream a live recording of this every Wednesday night at 09:00 P.m. On Twitch. Tv themadhousepodcast. And right now, for everybody on Twitch, I am showing what the actual one or the million dollar home page looks like. And it's just a giant ad board, basically. Is that what people bought to do that? Yes, this is it. This is exactly what it is like nuts. It looks like I'm looking for like Where's Waldo? In a sea of just words and pictures and colors. It's like at my face and I'm looking for Waldo. So here's the thing. Every Pixel or every ad on here goes to another website. Does it really? Yes. Everything that's on here is an ad. It goes to another website. And the only way that any more that you can get on this is you buy the pixels from someone else because if you notice, everything sold out. So this kid like a stock exchange kind of situation. Exactly. This kid who was 21 years old when he came up with this idea is virtually now a millionaire because he received a dollar for every Pixel that was sold on this page. And then people just kept kept buying. Yeah. So like right here, you can see for those of you that can see there's a thing right here that says web hosting. I scroll my mouse over that and it says the best website hosting ever. Only one point, $99. And it's easycgi. Boom. That's them. Then you've got let's see, I saw it up here somewhere. Japan's most beautiful girls and guys.


Ferrari. Ferrari's here. Or someone said they got a Ferrari symbol and their little hyperlink shows. If you love cars, you will love this. Let's see what else? Date night or date tonight? A free dating service and dating site reviews. Still searching. Click here. Free and boobies. Thomas the train even made it on here. Yeah, boobies. But Thomas the train even made it on here. Guys, order your free Thomas and friends catalog today. He is in there. I found him. Waldo? Yes. Where? Right next to coupons. Which coupons? Okay, middle on the right. Coupons tab marks coupons to the left. Ok. He is right there. Look at that. You found Waldo. I did it. I'm good at this. I solved the Riddle. Look at that. If you want to check it out again, it is www. Dot million dollarhomepage.com. You can go and check it out. See what all's in there. I mean, literally even ThunderCats made it in here. Ghostbusters Xbox. There is a lot of shit on this page. Alaskan Mint like gold and silver and jewelry. All these people had to buy more than one, though. Correct. Because there's no way they could make it this big by only buying one Pixel of this. Okay. So to give you reference what they represent as one Pixel on here. Okay. If you go over to the yellow pages symbol on the left side, lower left Quadrant. Okay. You see the yellow pages, little fingers. All right. Go two rows down below that. And then you see a little e like a backwards green e and an a above each other or one above the other. That a is one Pixel on this page. Okay. Got you. That's how big. And that's one dollars for that one. Pixel. That tiny little Pixel. Yes. What a sad little Pixel. And the biggest one, I think the biggest add on her
