you on the prediction about the tech news i'll give you one
it's going to be cold it's going to be gray it's going to last you the rest of your
life have you not seen groundhog day bill
murray oh all right forget it okay last night jeff keeley hosted the
fifth annual game awards with our very own alliance contributing his shill
powers to the evening's ads for samsung qled tvs but microsoft took the
opportunity for lighthouseflowplane.com
but microsoft took the opportunity to begin shilling their next gen console
early with the reveal of the xbox one x wait no sorry that's not right is it no
that's the current gen xbox the next one is called the xbox x square no that's
not right either no no okay it's just xbox but the first and last x is
capitalized xbox saxa boxer okay no the real name is the
xbox series x and that wasn't a joke
actually you can't even tell yes the production name for project scarlet is
xbox series x which seems to imply that the rumored low power next-gen xbox will
be called the series s and microsoft seems to want people to believe them
when they say they care about pcs because the new xbox looks just like one
with a square monolithic design meant to stand upright although apparently you
can use it horizontally as well although it looks like it definitely won't fit
into your media cabinet regardless we saw a trailer for the first xbox series
x game a sequel to what the [ __ ]
xbox series x game a sequel okay how do you say this said it was
sacrificed okay a sequel descended with sacrifice
hellblade called send with saga hellblade 2 electric boogaloo apparel
apparently rendered in real time on the console microsoft says the series x will
support gameplay at 4k and 60fps ray
tracing variable refresh rate and full backwards compatibility with xbox one
games and accessories well not a bad spec sheet playstation didn't make any
similar proclamations of the show but we did find out sony's next console is
simply called playstation 5. so they might have won simply for having a name
that makes sense thank you playstation 4 pro station the pro
station okay but on to the game awards themselves
sakiro's shadows die twice wow that sounds like a james bond movie one game
of the year beating out heavyweights like control death stranding and super
smash brothers ultimate but disco elysium wow that's a great name disco
elysium arguably had a better night winning the award for the narrative rpg
indie game and fresh indie game categories did i pronounce all those
names properly by the way okay great as is tradition we got a metric butt ton of
game trailers how much is a metric butt coming in imperial units
all right but sadly a plan to show off gameplay from half-life alex was
scuttled last minute but there were a ton of other trailers that looked a
little better including a new one for ghost of tsushima and amazon's fantasy
mmo new world tabletop games magic the gathering and d are getting new video
game entries with magic legends and dark alliance humankind is basically a
civilization game with customizable characters nine to five is a three by
three tactical shooter prologue is a vague new entry from pubg corporation
sons of the force is a sequel to survival horror game the forest gears
tactics is what x-com is gearstack what does that
mean it is x-cop was that's basically what it is
and the wolf among us ii is a sequel to telltale's original hit telltale's a
company is no more but the game is reportedly being produced by the same
directors writer and composer as the original which is available free on the
epic game store there were even more games and trailer was showing off last night but what do you think this show is
a listicle 23 most important moments in tech linked history you won't believe

quick bits they're what does you good i i i guess i thought i thought that was
milk okay anyway amd launched the rx 5500 xt graphics card yesterday there's
a four gig option for 160 bucks and an eight gig option for 200. unfortunately
reviews aren't too positive as the 1650 super looks like a slightly better
option at a similar price point and that's okay amd is killing it in the cpu
game even michael jordan was still just okay at baseball why did you put a thing
about he went to unc i can't stand them i'm a duke rad don't do that again go duke
it was a bit scary when facebook bought oculus but the company assured users
that their data wouldn't be used to serve them ads well to everyone's
surprise i guess that deal's off because facebook has started requiring oculus
users to log into their facebook account to use existing social features like
joining parties adding friends and sending messages but i'm sure there's no
need to worry it's not like facebook just had thousands of their employees financial information stolen because
someone had it sitting in hard drives in their car wait that did happen uh
ring cameras are starting to look like a bad investment boy i'm surprised a
website called nulled was recently exposed for hosting cheap and easy tools
for hacking ring devices it even had a podcast called the null cast where
people bragged about trolling owners of smart home cameras by taking them over
and yelling at their owners through the devices built-in speakers wow you did it
you're officially an ass can i say that on google assistant can now act as a
real-time interpreter all you have to do is ask it to be my german translator or
help me speak spanish well if you said help me speak espanol with that
which will unfortunately probably make american tourists both less and more
obnoxious at the same time wow are you a tourist
kind of not here you're not your family i i it
was like the olive garden hey get another meatball
and researchers in switzerland have developed switzerland cheese knives
offshore bank accounts and researchers in switzerland have developed a method
for embedding the assembly instructions for an object within the object itself
by encoding them in dna encapsulating that dna
in tiny glass beads then adding those beads to plastic as the object is 3d
printed so in the case of an apocalypse where all the engineers die we'll be
able to rebuild well that's good because because i'm a lawyer sort of and i'll be
the first to die i'll be less than useless
yeah neither will i
all right speaking of relief we're finally done with this episode but seriously it felt good
good but seriously it felt good to give you all the tech news again directly trying
to talk to you through raleigh every monday is so frustrating what
i do fine all right enough come back on monday for more tech news until next
time see you later john
