e
okay do we have
audio twitch chat do we have audio do we have audio
what flickers what flickers
I work we have light are we good does it
work okay it's all good
so I don't know what's going on with
this
camera but I'm like super not impressed
right now because we were doing um did you if you saw that uh that unboxing we
did of the Kraken x40 where we were doing a dual cam setup we we were using
xsplit to record the uh both both camera
angles and we were trying to capture audio to the
fs or through the fs and it wasn't working it was popping and doing a lot
of crazy sounds and stuff yeah but it wasn't I don't think it was as bad as
what uh yeah well I think it's the problems that there was already plus the
fact of like putting it through xsplit which is like barely working and then
streaming it online to these people like the combination of all those things
probably just made it so much worse but basically that that puts me in a
position where I'm kind of sitting here going well how does how's this supposed to work because I can record audio just
fine to SD on this guy but something
about outputting to HDMI suddenly doesn't work guys this is the exact
setup that we were using for live streams in the past and we didn't change
anything and uh yeah so I mean we're
sorry but I don't know what else to tell you because tonight we sat down to prep
for the live stream an hour ago and we should have
been just ready to go and everything should have just been fine but we got
about I don't know what half a dozen blue screens on the editing computer
that ended up irony of ironies being caused by our a media live gamer HD
which usually is totally solid compared to the black magic cards which usually
crash and cause all kinds of random horrible problem problems um but I think
it might be because we were using the bottom PCIe forx slot on the z77 board
which is routed through the chipset rather than being routed directly to the
CPU so
um yeah that sucked yeah um one other
thing as I've seen a couple times posted in the twitch chat as you may have heard
the Forum is kind of alive it's down now
because of physical server relocation meaning DNS servers that are everywhere
have to repopulate and refigure out where my server is so that you guys can
go to The Forum good news is um
everything will be exactly how it was the minute before I brought the server
down so you're not going to lose your posts you're not going to lose your accounts you're not going to lose
whatever you had it's just going to be down until something somewhere decides
that everyone can now see the form and we're really thrilled with how much
traction there's been on the Forum already I mean you guys have been
amazing and I don't think even that many of you know about it
yet um yeah I mean do do any of do any
of you guys know yet uh there there's a
few people one guy's saying what is the IP screw waiting for the DNS I can't do
that um because the HT access file uh in
my Apache folder is pointing certain things in certain places based off of
the URL name so if you go to the uh IP address it's just like an FTP
site basically so that's not really going to help you very much um nexam my
buddy and I have been spending incredible amounts of time huge thanks
to him he's done tons of things that I have no idea what he's doing it's all
voodoo magic he's a huge part of the reason pretty
much the reason why the Forum was up at all so thanks NEX um but we've been
slaving away making VB five V bulletin 5
work at all it's incredible we are the only site that I know of that's actually
a production website not like not like an example website hosted by vbulletin
that's actually running this software um and there's a lot of things that are
broken like editing posts as a lot of you have probably already noticed just
doesn't work like you can edit the post but when it goes to the edit screen your
post isn't there so it's it's kind of weird like
there's a lot of stuff that's broken like that that we can't fix because that's based on V buol
um there's a lot of stuff that's going around that we can fix that is kind of messed up the V buletin has like hold on
hold on hold on hold on got it okay go ahead uh was weird for a sec um like
different sizes for attachments and stuff the defaults for that are very
weird and not what they actually say when it tells you like oh it has to be
these Dimensions at this size it's not actually those dimensions of that size
so we are looking into problem problems that
we can fix um and hopefully V buletin
beta 24 is as nexum would say the Holy
Grail of beta releases and hopefully it fixes
everything but other than that uh the form's working pretty okay the main
problem we actually had was speed which is the reason why we did the relocation
we pulled it from here where it was running on a line that was 5 megabits
per second up um megabit megabit that's
is what I said I think he said megabytes per second I meant to say megabites per
second um to align at ncx head office
which I was hoping was going to be 40 megabits per second up but is actually
now that we got there 25 but that's still incredibly faster from what we
have right now and we'll hopefully get above the bottleneck that we're
currently sitting on to be clear guys this isn't an NC Forum this is a lonus
tech tips dedicated Forum they're just uh sponsoring us the bandwidth increase
that we need for now we're hoping to move either to an off-site host
somewhere or get some kind of like
baller internet connection here uh which
may may actually be an option I mean we can pick ourselves up a load balancing
router for about 150 bucks and then Shaw
has a new service they're rolling out here that's going to be 15 megabit up we
can pull two lines in so we might be able to do 25 to 30 megabit per second
up from here which would be that would be really cool sort of redonkulous I
would like to have the server on site we're Hardware guys so it's cool to be
able to like add actually manage the server here um but you had to do some
kaj jiggering to be able to manage it offsite with actually you should tell
them about the config you have going right now it's kind of ridiculous there so
there's two servers right now there's two servers right now one of them's
Windows one of them's Linux we're trying to move everything over to the Linux box
but then um we couldn't like properly SSH into the Linux box so oh NEX and I
spent ridiculous amounts of time today just trying to make it so that we can
actually connect to the boxes on nx's network because they have us behind like
layers of networking so it's kind of odd
trying to control things when I have no control over the routers or the switches
so I'm just like calling up the networking guy every once in a while
being like hey I need this kind of
changed so that was a very interesting situation hey it's me again hey can you
can you please do this please I need
access please and everything ended up being kind of rigged but is working and
yeah while we're at CES um I've got I've got one super
moderator set up and I've got a few moderators set up um everyone's kind of
on a trial basis right now um so watch
those moderators let me know what you think of them make sure they're all doing fair play um I think they're all
really they seem like really good guys I like the moderators so far but we need
to make sure that they're all actually really good guys um so pay attention to
them but the only admin that's going to be running online so the only guy that's going to be like controlling the back
end of the site while we're at CES is going to be nexio so good luck to
you thanks man we appreciate
it oh what if it goes down uh if it like
actually if the computer Powers down and doesn't like turn back on so like if it
doesn't restart or anything like that and we're at CES we're kind of screwed
um because it's sitting in a room that so basically don't dos us is what we're
trying to say greatly appreciated don't don't like don't go to the NC head
office and cut the power lines I mean you shouldn't do that
anyway these are things I shouldn't have to say so far everybody on the Forum and
everybody on Twitter and everything has been super helpful that's really nice uh
reporting problems is great reporting stuff like it's slow like that's good
that you told me but we know we know it's slow part of it is the 5 megabit
connection we've been on part of it is the fact that vbulletin 5 is just kind
of a dog yeah uh when we browse on it locally there's still that delay like
when you click on a thread the page populates and then there's like one two
three steam boats before you can actually click on
something we we can't stress enough the back end for the Forum VB both and 5 is
still in a pretty brutal stage of beta
um so there's a lot of stuff that we can't control one of the members of the
V bulletin Community was calling it was calling it some kind of a travesty that
they're even calling this a beta yeah and he's like a pretty esteemed member
of V bolon Community Max possible reputation points 30,000 posts like
really big guy and he's raging about it he's like this is an alpha this is not a
beta yeah and we're running it on production yeah so hang with us things
will be fixed some of it's out of our control and I'm going as fast as I can
with nexum to fix everything else that is within our control all right so why
don't we uh let's do some Twitter shall we or oh okay the angle's a little funny
we actually don't have the is this going to cause problems we don't have a mount
for the camera so it's sitting on a cardboard sheet on top of the actual
tripod yeah I don't have the tools handy
to remove the stupid mounting plate from the fs and we're trying to get this back
up as soon as we possibly could so uh
it's okay it's just not worth it you use a quarter I don't have a quarter on me
calm down all right so let's do some q& a what's a good mechanical keyboard
under 70 bucks well they're not under 70 bucks
you can find them sometimes $69.99 I
think I've seen a quickfire like the 10 keyless ones $69.99 okay there you go if
you can find it possibly somewhere ever yeah possibly somewhere ever I mean
asking for mechanical keyboard under 70 bucks is me being like hey where can I
get a good like uber gaming graphics card for under 150 bucks
it's like well sorry it just just doesn't work that way my jacket is
ugly Matt asks my CPU is an fx 4100 it
doesn't perform well in CPU heavy games will upgrading to an i5 3570k show me a
noticeable difference the answer is yes
um especially once you're overclocking at 3570k will destroy an fx 4100 FX 4100
is basically okay think think of it this way guys Phenom 1 didn't actually really
improve anything over previous um what I mean what branding
did they even use Athlon 64s I think was what they used before that Phenom 2
improved very little over Phenom 1 it was like an incremental like like like a
talk and then FX didn't really improve anything over
fenom 2 and then that's where you're at
so you're basically running an Athlon 64 whereas Intel has been marching along in
terms of CPU performance 3570k will just destroy a
4100 uh editing posts that comes in the
next beta V bulletin right supposedly but it was also in previous betas
so this is what I was talking about about brutal beta stage is like features
that used to be in it are not in it and features that weren't in it before are
in it like it's it's very much a beta
and then our version of it like what we've changed and stuff is still also a
beta so you're basically running the beta stage of a beta is what your forum
is so yay it's it's hobbling along we're
doing good but yeah yep uh thoughts on PC 360 I've heard it's a basier version
of the 350 I'm not a big 350 fan okay so
it's probably better than 350 I'd buy a 7h personally I I like them a lot more
than the 350s have you tried the 360 I never tried them uh Harrison's got some
oh okay yeah they're like actually I like them quite a bit okay for for a
headset I'm not usually weigh into headsets right I like headphones with a
mic but for a headset they're pretty awesome yeah they're really good I built
my first computer today how come you never told me the back of the
motherboard was Pokey um I didn't think of
it you know what guys when you're building your first
computer be careful of the metal on the outside of the power supply it can be
cold we're teasing you but it's all it's all good it's all good you did good good
work building your first computer feel free to post a picture of it on Facebook
post a picture and post the specs and when the forum's up go to the new build
section and post your build post your
build cuz that's awesome yeah have you ever built a Hackintosh um that project
is like kind of ready to go like I have the installer files on my USB drive that
I'm ready to install on the motherboard
that we brought back to the back to the lab today so hopefully soon but not
before we go to CES CES is going to be like
oh ridiculous all of our time before Zs
was kind of devoted to like finishing off projects and me starting and
hopefully finishing but that didn't happen the Forum um might still happen
it's not going to be finished well it's never
finished touche sir um yeah but it's
it's I hope the Forum Comes live soon I'm getting kind of worried um what was
I where was I going with this CES is bad and we won't finish anything before that
really no and then even when we get get back from CES for the first day or two
we're probably going to be just like managing stuff that we didn't get to
release while we're at Cs and we'll probably be sleeping cuz we'll probably
be sick I don't s sleep every year I get
like just super sick right CU there's like a million people there cuz you don't sleep there's a million people
there from all corners of the world where they've got all kinds of weird
diseases that I've never been exposed to
and uh I was going to say I've made it through Pax every year but Pax is a
weekend not an entire week so this will
be this will be a new challenge oh yeah CES is is a hall see Slick's never been
to CES this will be my fourth or fifth year now and it's it is it is people
think it looks fun but it's not fun lonus will eips make a huge difference
from a TN panel the answer is yes Forum
must be up because it's down it won't load for me too much traffic no no it's
definitely down it's down like not because of too much traffic or it being
broken we physically moved the server like that's what we were doing this
morning when he ran out of gas
um it just hasn't been a good day in
general actually no not really like the tech tips episodes the ncx tech tips
episodes we filmed at at NCI HQ today
one of them was like a build guide in an matx machine that's actually within
silverstone's classification of small form factor so this
matx tower system is actually not much
taller than an matx board it's about this yeah go get it go get it we'll show
it to them I I'll explain it in the meantime so it's not much taller than an
matx board we put dual GTX 680s in it we
put a th000 watt power supply we put um
I think we changed it is it do you have it already oh here we go all right so
it's in the Sugo carrying case and holy
crap this is one of the most difficult machines I've ever built in spite of the
fact that I did a full build guide on it
there we go in spite of the fact that I did a full build guide on it at the end
of the video I had no choice but to say say look guys I don't recommend this for
novice Builders so check this out it's not actually much bigger than a shuttle
it's about the same length as a shuttle and it's about this much taller than a
shuttle it's got a 120 mm intake in the front this is in the
sg9 okay it's got okay one of the video
cards is out now but it had dual 680s in it see like I said the matx board goes
from here to here so it's that that gives you some idea of the scale here
this is a 120 mil fan AO 140 and I'm
going to see if I can get this uh this top panel off so uh entertain them with
talk about uh what we're doing at CES what are we going to do there I'm going
to have lots of meetings we we've been so busy with other stuff stuff we
haven't even discussed what we're going to be doing at CES that much so I almost
don't even know um I know we're going to be
spending not as much time as I expected on the show floor because we have a lot
of different sweet to go to within the hotels which will be like uh a different
vendor uh will have like a suite where they'll show off specific Parts because
the show floor isn't big enough and not personal enough well that and the show
floor is extremely expensive and I don't think a lot of guys see the point yeah
if they can just hold a suite and then get in contact with the exact people they want to anyways it's not really
necessarily worth it for them um so yeah
the plan is we've got a pretty epic
internet connection hopefully so we'll be hopefully shoting out videos actively
while we're there yeah we've noticed one big problem with reviewers that go down
to the CES is that they don't release their stuff until like way after and
then it's usually pretty lackluster so our plan is to be uploading it as fast
as we can every single night okay check this out sorry stage two of showing you
guys this machine so this case holds two 3 and 1 half inch hard drives here and
here we have two ssds in raid zero down there that's two m4s right there you put
another two ssds here if you want slim line optical drive in the top okay see
that Tower cooler in there this thing is
full of stuff plugging in h see I didn't
look closely at the uh at the instruction Silverstone includes for
this case RTM guys RTM uh because and
okay they they also made a slight mistake because they show when you install the motherboard they show the
CPU heat sink installed on it that's wrong because sounds like a turbo to
install the motherboard install the four pin and then put the heat sink on but I
was thinking maybe I could put it on before it settled in or something like that so anyway I had a really hard time
plugging the four pin in I ended up having to take the heat sink off again
to plug it in and then and then I realized oh I forgot to plug in the CPU
fan header not cool not cool at all but uh
here I want to give you guys a closer look at this I think it's on autofocus
so you should be able to see so there's a Silverstone uh dual Tower he heat pipe
cooler there's some high-profile memory in there this is a really cool cooler
because it has one thick side and one Thin side so that you have enough room
for all your memory slots good idea hey there's the power supply right at the
front there with a pass through to uh
cord at the back see right there that's where that plugs in and then while you
keep talking about CEs plans I'm going to take off the bottom part of the panel
so they can see where the graphics cards go again we haven't really talked about CS PL much so I don't know okay if you
if you commit things to them now then there's nothing I can do about it and
we'll have to do your ideas so so we're going to be eating out very nicely the
entire time we're there this is coming out of my pocket all sponsored by the
company um no no no okay we'll probably
be eating McDonald's the entire time um you'll be lucky if you get McDonald's
now um yeah Samsung has an interesting
TV they releasing they released this press release go to the go to uh go to
the site uh number number number
four
203 e
cut out the audio is there audio still is there audio
now okay so we can't show them yeah we
can it's fixed now is it yeah don't worry I fixed
it all good all good no audio when you
switch it's going no there's audio now audio
fixed everyone's so back and forth okay here tell them tell them about it okay
so as you can see there Samsung released this picture and then some blurb about
how like true Innovation comes when you
like change the shape of things and all we got something along those lines
basically this huge thing about how they're changing the shape of the TV and
then they released this picture which makes me think like what why is it in
portrait mode and that's not really a different
shape either it's just a rotated shape no you turned it like this like they
can't see you right now but oh right okay well they turned it vertical into
Port mod press one okay now they can see us again so I don't understand how this
is different from taking an existing TV and just I like they they have a driver
control panel for that I think it's called you know the NVIDIA control panel
or ATI control panel and you just turn
your monitor I don't know um I'm kind of hoping it's more than just a portrait
mode TV because I don't see a portrait mode TV being very applicable maybe the
point they're trying to make is the extreme realism of the image and like
how thin it is or something it's an awful lot of hype to
generate over but then the second you try and watch a movie is it going to be
like half your screen is gone no there's no way it's a portrait mode TV but look
at the shape it's in I know but you could just take that shape and go like
this so what are you just going constantly swiv your TV no I mean it
might just be thinner I don't know but then this is
like I said this is a lot of hype to generate over thinner it's a shape and
brighter and more vibrant and more 3D which is what we probably what it is
like it since I started going to CES it's been nothing but 3D
TVs and here we are what three four
years later and it's still 3D TVs and
I'm just kind of like okay okay so last year the the big thing was um was 3D TVs
but not using them for 3D it was like
having um cisp alternating images so
that two people could watch TV at something else at the same time or not
split screen split screen game like uh Playstation TV yes something like that
has has okay here would love to hear this guys has anyone on Twitter or or in
the twitch chat actually encountered someone who is actually using that
solution are we local recording as well I don't
know yeah local recording yeah oh press
zero yay okay um what are my old
roommates where two people are playing the game at the same time seeing
different oh the that guy yeah oh okay
yeah so I don't know if it really counts so it was like Black Ops zombies that's
exactly what it was Black Ops Black Ops Fanboy but only the
zombie mod I only knew that he did it once I don't know if he did it other
than that and it was with like one of his buddies who also used to be a
roommate of ours quite a while ago um
yeah I'm ready to show them the rest of this system I don't have anything so
check this out guys so I had two GeForce
graphics cards in here two gtx680 so they were going all the way to here
there's the power supply there's the CPU heat sink you can put up to 32 gigs of
RAM in here just a monster monster machine check out that fan in the top
just like almost hilariously stupidly
full of stuff so anyway what I'm trying to say is not that it's not a really
cool case and not that it isn't a really cool machine but that it was really hard
to build in and because when you film a how to build a PC episode there's no
such thing as like running some benchmarks and doing some prep for the
episode you like you you can prep you can sort of you can read it up on it you
can sort of like you can bust around with things and see how it all works but
you have to actually build it you have to actually do every step and some of
them were just really hard yeah to do I was off in the corner with my crazy
setup of multiple servers messing around with nexam hearing like oh oh we got to
redo that I got to take motherboard out again oh I could hear the amount
frustrated that was on the other side of the room you know what it wasn't as bad as the F3 mini one though that one that
was just a weird case it's very cool very it's interesting because it's a
column yeah it's column case and again
like an impressive amount of Hardware in
a small space but but very
dense at least the power supply was a lot easier on this one than it was on
the F3 because of the short cables because of the short cable kit that you
can get with Strider series power supplies so uh here let's do some
Twitter okay you know what I'll just do
this okay so put that there get Twitter get that where's the twinkie box twinkie
box is slicks in the way right there all
right lus what tips do you have for upand cominging tech people read Lots
Reading Lots is the most important thing for upand cominging tech people go on
our Forum when it's up yeah hey hey that too going to be lots of up andc coming
typ people here uh this is for slick where can I get ducky keyboards uh
tiger Imports Google tiger Imports is a
CM Storm trigger with Blue switches worth my money what's a storm trigger CM Storm
trigger didn't you unbox one I was pretty sure you no that was a quickfire
what's the difference between a trigger and a quick pretty sure you unboxed a
trigger I guess basically they're good they're quite good keyboards okay yeah I
didn't know yay tuning in at 5:30 we're sorry we're late guys they have crazy
problems watch the uh archive if you're tuning in here move closer to the
camera look at his eyes I'm pretty tired I had no idea why
you're making me go close to the
camera uh Buy Canon last time I hate
Sony you set it back to stock say trust me that won't fix the
problem and we are using a Canon now which has this Canon camera has its own
set of issues as well oh yeah okay we're
back to like 24 minutes ago so uh I saw
a whole bunch of people posting that they had never seen anyone do the split
screen monitor thing yeah I jumped over there while you're doing the system and
like just everyone was like nope no definitely not nope definitely not
okay uh here's a good question from
Marcus um what do you expect from AMD on
at CES expect I'm going to go look for some of
my topics that I had uh that I had up so I'll get you what do you expect from AMD
at CES I don't expect much I hope for a
lot um honestly to be 100% honest they
haven't been moving that quickly lately over the last few years um but they need
to so hopefully if they come up with some crazy awesome stuff at CES that
would be great when was the last time you had an AMD rig uh alha
64 and then I built one for my parents set was Aon 64x to i l both those
processors they're amazing great great great processors and then yeah ever
since then what about on the graphics card side they've been starting to talk
about 8,000 series particularly they they do well on the graphics card side
though atti is very strong AMD ATI is very strong that you you can usually get
more frames for your dollar from what I've seen going with
AMD cards um whether that makes you buy
them or not that's totally up to you um
but yeah usually you can you can pump them really hard you can usually overc
them like crazy um yeah I don't know
but I'm worried about the processor side very worried about the processor side
but then again they could come up with something crazy so hopefully they do that'll be great at CES I mean I'd love
to see how the whole I mean okay we we talked a little bit about the NVIDIA
Intel potential merger the rumor just a
rumor guys right now but we talked a little bit about what that could mean
for the future Maybe particularly on mobile when you look at Intel's
expertise on manufacturing NVIDIA's expertise on GPU and their experience
with ARM and just like what kind of crazy processors we could see I would
love to see I mean they've talked about how they're going to focus more on it
and Oh shoot what was his
name I can't remember one of their CEOs got got outed uh not that long ago
because he said he didn't care about mobile and it seems like something they do want to do but I'd love to see what
AMD and ATI could deliver because the
only reason that Tegra has any huge advantage over anything is that GeForce
ecosystem and I'm not even talking just the graphics performance of it because
it's not that competitive compared to something like iPad
like not today or even or or even some of the
other Solutions um but the GeForce
ecosystem is the developer relationships
it is the the way that they're used to writing games that are powered by
GeForce compatibility developer relationships stuff always working the
fact that a Tigra 3 runs pretty much the
same damn way as a GTX 680 on some level
just the way that the software and the hardware are interfacing and the way that the game interacts with it so that
is why Tegra is so important right now
whereas AMD maybe not quite to the same
extent as NVIDIA in terms of developer relationships but so much stronger than
Qualcomm or Intel or I mean name anyone
else it's it's a two horse race ATI Invidia radon GeForce so I i' I'd love
for them to just kind of show up to that fight and start doing something
somewhere somewhere something um um
something interesting talking about graphics cards Far Cry 3 really
surprised me with how hard it was to run I don't think lius has played it yet but
you were a big fan of Far Cry 2 weren't you I no Far Cry 2 was terrible I
thought you liked it Far Cry 2 was a piece of crap I thought you said you played it a whole bunch of times Far Cry
1 oh loved Far Cry 1 Far Cry 1 was an
outstanding game did you ever play it you're a little young for that Far Cry 1
I play Far Cry 1 what were you like nine when it came out I don't think so I'm
pretty sure cuz I maybe like 11
I don't know yeah you were like a kid when Far Cry came out that's weird I
feel I know weird yeah I feel old anyway anyways yeah Far Cry 1 was
good no Far Cry 2 was crap the respawning guys oh that stuff was crap I
okay you know what though I I forgot about this this is a
good story Far Cry 2 I actually played it a fair bit because I hadn't really
played like I'd never played uh Grand Theft Auto or like any other sort of
open world sandboxy right okay yeah so I'd never really done the hold that
whole thing and the graphics were great and you know the Gunplay is good and all
of that um I couldn't finish
it I got a save game like all the way
deep into the game and did you play Far Cry 2 yeah but really really quickly in
once okay one of the things is that you're sick do you remember that yeah
okay you get sick so you have to get like malaria medications like sometimes
and uh what happened is it gives you like a notification that you need to get
malaria meds like soon and so one of my
save games and I I I think it was Auto is it Autos save for that game or
something like that oh no I going physically too far away to get anywhere
with meds I tried probably a dozen times in every direction in every possible way
so I would just die and I was like well I'm not starting
over cuz the whole game is just a grind my best story with that is more ruined
you start the game and they give you this package and you're supposed to go
give it to this guy but it's just like oh yeah give this package to this guy
and you can sell it so at the beginning of the game you're like oh I want money
you sell everything in your inventory you're done you can't start the main
quest but it doesn't exactly tell you what the main quest is because it's a
like uber definition of sandbox game right like amazing game but you could
just go screw off like I played this game for months and had no idea what the
main quest was had never started it had multiple characters always sold the book
or package thing eventually eventually my dad and I were
like this game is amazing but we know we're missing a lot let's go get the players guide so we can find all the
stuff that we're missing B the players guide I was like
whoa there's a main quest and it's interesting let's go actually start
playing the game that is so much worse than mine that it's not even
funny I love morwin Vlog so many hours in that game but without even actually
playing the game without playing the main quest but that's how good that game
was like it didn't matter I never got into it I think it doesn't help though
that I'd already logged like a bajillion hours on Oblivion and then I tried to go
back and play morrowwind you kind of have to go through it larly cuz I'd never played morrowwind before the
journal system in mowind is very difficult to just pick up you got to be
used to it and like once you get I think it's the tribunal expansion it makes it
so you can actually navigate to individual quests in your Journal but
before then it's just your guy writing logs about things it's happening and
it's just like a journal so if something happened couple days ago and you've done
a whole bunch of stuff to figure out where you're at at that Quest you have
to like flip through pages and like figure it out like it's not very Noob
friendly and I I I like I like I fired
it up once and I got my character and I was going to be like a cat dude and I
went like down a path and it was just
like I was like well come on what
there's no like there's no like Noob friendly like questing Zone at the
beginning a little bit but not that much the second you step like a little bit
past the line you're done and like it's got D andd rolling systems for attacks
so if you run up to something you can be like I'm not hitting you cuz you'll just
keep on rolling and if you're not good enough at that skill so like say dagger
I can just stab and stab and stab and stab and stab and never hit him like ha
ha my defense numbers are higher than your dagger rolling numbers I then win
because of the D andd system right so it's it's not very Noob friendly in that
aspect right okay well I had a topic for
discussion um why does Nero bother to still update
their disc burning software we talked about this a bit
ago uh the only thing I was able to come up with was compatibility with different
systems okay let me put it this way it still works on everything I have an
ancient version of Nero that I bought way back like early XP days back when
you bought burning software because now there's free okay so okay so aside from
the fact that it doesn't need any new functionality there's free options that
are just as good now is that is that maybe the thing then they roll out a new
version make you buy the new version make you buy the new version how they
don't make you buy it that same version runs on Windows 8 just fine no no I know
but like like no cares you have version four to get version five I'm just using
random want version five I'm just saying if you had version four to get version
five do you have to buy it or does it update I think you have to buy it yeah yeah okay so it's for people that aren't
super tech have and they're like oh I need the newest best one what could they
possibly think they need the newest best one for them I don't know because
everyone says keep your stuff updated okay why don't they just do this then
why don't they just lay off their entire development team and just just change
numbers just change the numbers and CH reskin it hire some designers to reskin
it yeah Hire One designer and fire your
entire development team like what new functionality is there in disc burning
over the last six years uh light scribe
light scribe M disk M disk doesn't require so special software is that all
done through the LG drive all done through the special laser that engraves
into the special medium nothing on the software side all right so that's just
the drive yeah so light scribe and light
scribe Blu-ray Blu-ray is it the same on the
software end okay it's possible we need a Blu-ray software Blu-ray burning who
would burn a Blu-ray I don't know I'm just saying why there might be
something okay for all of you out there who have burned a Blu-ray I'm going to
open your eyes to a fantastic world of
of amazingness that you are just going to be blown away by it is
called the archiving your stuff on a hard drive system so Blu-ray discs how
much do they cost now I don't I've never bought one last time I looked it was
around eight bucks but I'm sure it's cheaper now let's say they're let's say
they're $3 just for the sake of argument
let's say they're $3 how many gigs of data do they store on them it's 25 right
someone's going to correct us yeah but then you can get uh there's dual layer
yeah but those cost a lot I'm sure they do yeah those are actually like baller
expensive yeah so okay so 25 gigs on a
Blu-Ray so here this is this is a here we're going to do a quick price
comparison here so
nci.com we're going to look at how much
a 2 terb external drive costs
so around a 100 bucks okay so that is
2,000 divid 25 25 equals 80 Blu-ray
discs so Blu-ray it already loses time whoa hold
on okay these are okay hold on Blu-ray
disc there we go so single Blu-ray disc
oh that's a 50 gig for seven bucks okay okay so that's a and there's a
rewritable for 10 by the way hard drives are all
rewritable probably more than your rewritable disc okay I can't even see
like a there's a two pack for 30
bucks uh how much do these things cost
these can't be right
seriously okay this is worse than I
thought okay so
four okay so okay so you can get them for as little as around a buck but
that's like rose will so anything that's like a real a real brand um is probably
more like more like double that so about about two bucks each so $160 yeah so 160
bucks is what you're paying for your Blu-ray discs
oh man guys just don't do it I mean something like this is so perfect these
backup pluses are great because they come on a little like dock
thing here's a tech tip for you guys back everything up to hard drives so
they come on a little dock thing and then look at this it's basically like
the size of like a VHS cassette so you just have a shelf you like put these on
it you put a label on the handy dandy
label friendly spot with some masking tape boom you've archived your media on
something that is less likely to deade than uh than a plastic disc on something
that is much more much much more likely
to still be around in the future in terms of finding something that'll read
it easily although CD has been pretty resilient but then how useful is a CD at
this point you can repurpose it for other things you could take the whole thing apart repurpose it for an internal
drive throw it in a server you can easily swap them in and out just by
popping them onto a base station just like like that so and you can plug as
many or as few into your computer as you want you you can sync from one to
another one so you can back up from one to another they're they're faster to
write I mean do do I even need to do this the only disc solution that I would
ever see being better than that is like super super super important documents
that you write to an M disk yeah M disk I'm kind of sold on M disk is kind of
amazing but then the capacities aren't that high cuz it's only DVD yeah so use
like backup hard drives for just like pictures everything and then yeah like
hard drives for like movies and yeah everything else so M disk is like
Precious family photos or like your will baby pictures wedding pictures other
very important things super important documents like you said will stuff like
that um but other than that just go back
up hard drives don't burn to Blu-rays and like people think of it in terms of
the transactional price I think sometimes cuz I've had people make the
DVD archiving argument and they're like oh well DVD is only a couple cents and
I'm like okay it only holds four gigs so
you've got like and how much is your time
worth I don't want to sit there
burning like like you said 80 Blu-rays
and then it's not even it's not even easy to like figure out what you've now
written to that disc and which disc has cuz Okay think about it this way if
you're like wedding video part one two
three did did you burn them in chronological order did you burn them in
alphabetical order did you burn like the pictures of the hot bridesmaids on the
one over there so that your wife wouldn't see it like I don't
know is she watching this you
think it's probably okay I have no idea she used to watch them now I think
she got bored of them I mean it's Tech stuff what what does she care timately
right um what are topic oh yeah uh like
okay here's another one why do people why do you bother why do you bother
updating a phone like notepad app why do you bother writing a special notepad app
let's talk about Slick's phone because he loves his phone so Huggy much tell me
about S note I hate S note I have a perfect note app though tell tell me all
about S note I want to hear about S Note why did Samsung write a Notepad
application why did Samsung write any of the applications on that phone be
nice okay you tried to use S Note for what a couple weeks yeah I was okay so
oh did you know that the memo pad that comes on the iPhone works really
well shut up um not a lot of functionality just text input but well
that's what I wanted okay to be honest okay why did you start using S Note here
we go started using S Note for the live streams if you guys see me or lus when
we're on the streams we're ever looking at our phones it's because we have
certain people watching the audience we're not interested in talking to you
people so just no no there's certain people that are in the audience that
have our phone numbers that will text us if things are going wrong like audio
really yeah okay I do maybe your friends don't care as much but I don't have any
friends that's the issue that's unfortunate anyways text me if there's
audio problems uh that's why I jump up sometimes I'll hear my phone buzz and
then just like Dart over and see if one of my buddies is texting me saying there's an audio problem or something um
and because we keep our notes there I'm looking at pictures of the baby that got
sent to me throughout the day he's eating green beans it's pretty cute
sorry carry on um we keep our notes there for live stream so we try and
think of topics so I was trying to use S Note man that was frustrating ah if I
did like the slightest thing wrong so it would like go to a different tab with an
S note or anything like if I clicked on anything that wasn't proper it would
move away from the stuff that I was currently typing just delete
everything oh my God so like we'd be on a really long car ride somewhere and I'd
be like documenting all this stuff we're thinking of and like Googling up topics
that we can hopefully talk about so live stream isn't boring as all hell and then
I've got a whole bunch of stuff and I walk out of the car and like just sleep
my phone and put it in my pocket go open up later it's just like who nope all
your lines are removed the app is still open but all your lines are removed I'm
just like ah why so I ended up
downloading some random app I don't even
know what it's called it's called like simple note or something and it's Lally just a white screen and like a list of
the documents that you have and you just like click on them and then it brings up
just a white screen again and then you can just like type wherever you want
it's like that's exactly what I wanted all I wanted was a mirror of the notepad
app for PC that's that's all I wanted
but they had to add all this additional functionality which barely works and
then the whole app barely works because everything else barely works H we have
to do our Windows 8 giveaway so you had a question that you
wanted to use as our trivia so I'm going to brief them on who's sponsoring the
giveaway in the meantime while you go remember what it was okay one second
okay so guys the uh the Windows 88 giveaway is sponsored by Timmy tech TV
so we're going to go ahead and go to Timmy Tech TV's YouTube
channel and I'm going to try to freaking
get this going all right
youtubes.com slash I can't find the slash on this
keyboard I've had a lot of people ask me what keyboard This is and it's some AO
one I actually don't remember it's KB 178 RT KB 178 RT it's not perfect by any
stretch of the imagination but it works
and uh it kind of gets the job done and
we oh oh really no I don't want to stay on this page go away what is this oh man
British Columbia mom makes $7,000 a month and you won't believe how she does
it and it's not letting me leave there
we go leave not sponsored by that sorry for
that guys Timmy tech TV there we go
Timmy tech TV channel so he has
sponsored us four copies of oh look at
that he featured my channels on his channel that was nice of him uh he he
sponsored me four copies of Windows 8 to give away on the next four live streams
so oh another thing guys there won't be a live stream next week because next
week we will be in Vegas if we manage to
stream something on Friday oh no no by Friday night we'll be on a plane
slick yeah not going to happen we can't
do a we can't do a live stream while we're there yeah that's not feasible
he's giving me that look like he really want he really wants to live stream while we're there when will we be back
I'm sorry when will we be back oh we're not live streaming the night we get back
from
CES if I can get everything set up I'll drag him into a chair but there's no
promises I might be I might look like this in the
chair welcome to I will try but there's
no promises um so anyway have you have you
managed to figure this out yet um how do
how do you watch asy Star Wars in Windows well okay okay guys so the first
one to tweet the correct answer
100% letter for letter perfectly the
correct answer to Slick's question here
is the winner so I'm going to go ahead
and we're going to fire up Twitter and uh here we go slick come
back ask your question how do you watch asy Star Wars in
Windows and we're looking for like the legit way to do it not like going on
YouTube and searching for asky Star Wars yeah like how do you like how do you do
it like you can do this offline like how do you like the whole thing it's
it's seriously okay let's see so the first one the first one oh hold on we
have at least one correct answer uh never mind you can actually you have to
be online okay you have to be online fine but like that's not the point
that's not what I'm trying to prove like you don't have to open a browser there
we go okay here we go so wow bam Kevin
knew the answer I didn't not think that would be that easy Okay Kevin I am going
to follow you on Twitter so that you can
private message me private message me you are getting a free copy of Windows 8
congratulations Timmy tech TV is going to send that to you and uh you should be
super thrilled because does it work in Windows 8 as well apparently I didn't
know that it did but apparently so you can go watch your asky Star Wars in your
brand new copy of Windows 8 thanks guys for participating and I
hope you found it to be a little bit more organized this week compared to
last oh last week was a disaster did you watch it I ended up watching yeah it was
terrible I just I don't blame you though but like it was bad I well okay I that's
why I tried to pick something more structured you knew what a long day I'd had that day already plus I think you
have a better understanding now of how much I'm able to sleep at
night between my cat and my baby it is a
miracle that I get any rest at all it's
help for him but yeah yeah yeah it's
help the for him indeed okay here we go sound card and
headset for 7.1 gaming first of all get
a proper headphone or headset with two speakers in it agreed yep 100% 100%
agreed find some sound card that does some cheeseball surround effect if you
really want that it will be better it will honestly
sound better I have owned both and actual 7 .1 doesn't sound as good as
really good high quality headphones with
s surround soft software trickery is where it's at guys remember guys two
ears two speakers is all you need and I
know that question was googleable but pretty much any question that we're
going to be able to come up with is going to be googleable and the people
that answered were really quick yeah they were fast enough that they probably
knew they probably just knew it um and you'll always be at an advantage if you
actually know the answer which is which is great kind of the point guys actually
oh have you have you seen that virtual haircut thing no no okay uh mandatory
mandatory assignment here guys everyone
needs to after the live stream of course you
need to stay and watch us first um search for Virtual Barber Shop this is I
recognize this maybe I have this is all the evidence you need there it is use
headphones close your eyes and you basically oh yeah I have heard of this
yes definitely it sounds like you're getting a haircut if you needed evidence
that you only have two ears and you only need two
speakers that is it so there you go if
you're in a home theater setting 7.1 is
awesome when when the speakers are directly covering your entire ear it's
it's so cool though have okay did have you tried it oh yeah definitely I
thought you were talking about something no no no no iing I you were still on the
audio topic it's so freaking cool yeah know it's awesome definitely the best
thing ever you should definitely go watch it listen to it what do we got MS
DOS also well apparently it works in MS DOS as well cool yeah it works in like
tons of stuff I think it might work in uh Linux as
well got a bunch of answers
here uh
okay we have one guy who answered Star Wars well yes that would be a way to
watch Star Wars Windows carefully yeah
yeah oh
no offline mode and Safari apparently I don't know who how many people install
Safari on their Windows machines no it
yeah I Do download on iTunes and play through
quick Time Justin you're fired I like it though buy a CD
it wasn't the point guys she's Windows Media Player these guys are like trying
to legit answer like the question and it's like no no it's it's it's a trick
it's like a trick question I didn't want to say it was a command line input
because yeah cuz that's like yeah that's too obvious yeah because you could just
say like I wanted the Google search to be at least not 100% straightforward by
getting a job and buying it yes the extreme Computing you are the
winner of tonight's live stream you don't get a copy of Windows but you get
our respect you get all the internet cookies all the internet cookies OMG
slick is so hot and I think Julie isn't
the only girl who actually thinks
so no don't continue onwards keep going I will
hurt you just keep going just keep going
keep
going okay okay okay we're moving on we're moving on
uh oh big NVIDIA announcement at CES
okay I'm kind of curious about this Deacon usually tweets pretty good
stuff live from Las Vegas how to tune in
to NVIDIA's news oh we're missing this we're not going to be there in time so
whatever's yeah we're we're going down on um oh wait what
Sunday no it's during the day Sunday we
don't arrive till Sunday night oh so so
yeah we're we're missing we're missing it there's like a live show it's like a
big event I'll watch it then I have no
idea what they're uh what they're talking about but it should be should be
pretty cool maybe it's the their things can no it's probably a lot bigger than
that yeah the GeForce experience is cool but I don't think this is going to be
it's probably a lot bigger than that yeah they're making like a really big deal out of this uh what case 300 r or
692 Advanced did I say 600 R cuz I meant to
say 300 R yeah I saw that uh
um I don't know I'd go 300 R I probably
would just the more the more modern feature
set just is a good thing um I've built
in the 300 R more yeah which gives it kind of an unfair Advantage because I I
kind of know it I only did a 692 Advance
build a long time ago but it's a good case I haven't built in one I've just
seen it really no it's really good like it's easy to build in everything's
really intuitive Cooler Master does such a good job of that no I know I know uh
just I've built in the 300 R lot I haven't built in the other one so that's why I didn't actually ever give a
suggestion but I kind of would just lean towards that one cuz that's only one I
have personal experience with slick looks
familiar hey you could easily be like a a mesh
between these two guys and this
one I need a haircut well
yes I might need a touchup before we go as well
I'm like f i was you you can ask my
roommate I'm like I was planning to get a haircut literally like 3 months ago um
just never Happ Chris Barry wins all the internets we have to take the internets
away from whoever won it last time because that is the most creative
spelling of Wednesday I have ever seen there's even a
space it's not capitalized like let's try to find how many things are wrong
with this it's not capitalized capitalized there's a space there's a
space the the the D and the N the D and the N are reversed uh there's a missing
e there's a missing e
k it has like a 15 exclamation marks the
sentence isn't capitalized you don't need a like
there okay yay
Chris we love you man welcome to the
internet I have what's bit cass's infinite drive I'm not familiar with
that unfortunately maybe we should look into that after
sure um Blu-ray burners for giving others huge amounts of data without
giving them a whole hard drive and bdxl is 125 gigs okay but how much does a
bdxl cost so that still holds with sort
of what we're saying and if I ever give people huge amounts of data um it's
usually not like here archive this it's usually like here take this really
quickly and I would use I was going there
yeah I would use a flash drive man I would use a flash drive or I would like
FTP it to them or I would use a Dropbox system so for the cost of your Blu-ray
discs to match that 2 TB capacity you could buy your 2 TB hard drive and a big
fat USB drive and they're
rewritable again yeah but and you could get like a baller one like this that's
impossible to destroy Survivor Stealth for the win they're pretty epic but like
I I I understand he's trying to play devil advocate he's trying to like spur
the conversation but I just still don't think it's feasible what Summoner name
do you play and what region do you play on shout out to Henry
fam yeah I back up my Wii and PS2 games
on okay yes you can back up your games
on that's a legitimate reason to have well sort of legitimate reason to have a
burner he's actually doing it hey look at that look how the color changes when
I switch these it's better on this one see how yellow we look cuz you can have
different settings in the scenes I know but I think I must have messed up scene
one well we were in kind of a hurry in my defense yeah whatever at least it's
working want to replace my two see this is the problem that I have with the case
guys who don't use standard fan sizes and I mean I know 200 mil and 160 mil
and 180 mil and 230 they're all kind of standard fan sizes but I mean by
standard like someone actually makes replacement fans for it yeah um bit
Phoenix is doing a good job of supporting the fan sizes that they
generate and bit Phoenix fans look really cool they're one of the only
Brands they perform okay yeah no I know they Alchemy Pros are good fans I'm not
saying they don't just like a lot of people like I love KN to a fans but look
at them and then put one beside a bit Phoenix fan and just like get a
13-year-old kid to pick which one he thinks is cooler okay like the bit
Phoenix fans look awesome by that lot okay so what I should make all the
decisions in my life based on what 13-year-olds think are
cool do you have any of those in your system they're like your favorite fans
do you have any of them in your system
no but they're the best come on you know
they come on why am I fist bumping you you just
burned me I shouldn't be acknowledging this at
all they just look atrocious and like
okay if you have okay fine I will put nff 12s in the basement of my tj07 in
the basement key word actually I won't put them there I
knew you wouldn't cuz you're going to put silver Stones aren't you yeah I have air penet 21
there are okay okay okay fine here let me put it this way then if I was
building it oo I was going to say if I was building
a machine that had a closed side panel I'd use them but my wife's machine does
not use noas I have I have a test bench
with nas on it is the that's the point of the test
bench though isn't it to perform really
well no to portb sounds and stuff for fans you're using a Consolidated fan
format no no not that one no no the other test bench the one with the cougar
power supply oh we never used that one
we do sometimes we never used it has p12s on it we used we used it for months
we used that test bench almost exclusively for months because no not
almost exclusively because I needed another test bench and you said here's a
bunch of Hardware build one and I grabbed those
fans no I changed no no you don't
remember because because I changed them out when I was trying to do acoustic
testing on video cards I needed fans
that could run near silent on the actual
CPU Cooler itself so that I could take sound readings from the video card on an
overclocked CPU system without the CPU fans ramping up like crazy they are the
best fans but you didn't care about the look of it because it was on a
performance-based test bench but if it was a choice between
these and ones that didn't perform well at all I would go with these oh of
course yeah no I I love Noctua fans I just can't bring myself to install them
in my system because they're ugly but AP 121s are like they look great and they
perform they're 90% as good gentle typhoons
are you could argue as good but I
wouldn't run them at those kinds of RPMs so I would take a knock to over gentle
typhoons to be perfectly honest gentle typhoons don't look that great but I
think they look better than GED Wings aren't that great but they're pretty
good and they look really good they look really good UV UV in my system is like
awesome
yeah uh okay there was someone I promised to do a uh there was someone I
promised to do a shout out to this week and I I gotta go I gotta go
check uh I don't know what to discuss I don't have any topic Twitter QA Twitter
Q&A I forget how to do this right ah
noobs can play Shout Out shout out to noobs can playay peace bro
why did you get a no record found um uh
uh we're not going about we're not going to talk about problems with the search
function on nx's website uh have you heard about lus has
you have you heard about Vortex based video no no I've never heard of this
either I use my iPhone Notes pad Notes app all the time that's one thing I do
have a problem with is the notes app on
iOS products is kind of awesome and I have a lot of problems with the one on
my Android but then like I said I downloaded a new one which is an awesome
thing about Android and then it totally solved the problem okay we have another
Samsung topic to discuss the Evolution
Kit you mentioned this but didn't go into detail so this is this is some CES
News they first unveiled this last year so the Evolution Kit get
this this face should give you some idea how stupid I think this is I was already
kind of like uh the Evolution Kit allows
you to take your 2012 model Smart TV and
by adding a pack to the back of it to
meet the ongoing you know memory and
processing and power requirements of
smart TVs and the media and everything that's happening you can upgrade your
2012 Smart TV to the 2013 version by
putting this pack on the back
back I feel like if I was in the store I would buy it just so you would go
away just go away so you get the latest
Suite of applications you get um why do you need a pack for
applications well this is the first question that I was sort of thinking oh
okay continue sorry well I guess actually no my first question is why do
you need a smart TV at all why don't you buy a pivos AOS and hook it up to your
TV and then you'll get firmware updates for free 100% And I've heard a lot of
pro problems with the gestures tons of problems with the gestur do you remember
that Samsung all-in one that we had that we did an unboxing of yeah I tried to
demo the gesture thing I didn't get a single bit of usable footage it just
doesn't work and the gestures on the TV
at the keynote at the Samsung Canada thing the guy on stage was trying to
demo it and it didn't work at all gestures are going to be incredible when
they work really well but we're not there yet here's the thing to actually
build in the hardware that would be required to properly map the human body
in any kind of remotely reasonable real time and I'm not talking connect with
like you know a half second delayer okay it's not a half second but with it with
any kind of leg or any kind of ambiguity as to what you're doing for it to
actually work perfectly so that it can recognize you whether you're standing
like this or whether you're like you
know on the couch like this the I mean it would basically need
a computer in it and like there's a lot of little companies and some bigger
companies making some really interesting hand gester M uh programs for computer
and stuff but there's still tons of problems with them tons of problems I
mean the closest I think will be is like a glove have you seen yeah have you seen
that like weird crazy multicolored glove uh no I haven't seen that I can't
remember what they're called but it it looks like you like spilled a whole bunch of different colored paints on a
glove okay and they wear them and the gestures you can do with them are
insanely accurate okay see something like that could work and guys please for
the love of peanuts um stop asking us if
we have heard about the leap motion yes we have heard about the leap motion yes
it's cool it is not out yet I cannot
unbox it yet I have been in touch with them we're going to arrange to get
something going once they actually have units that they can ship but uh yeah I'm
super excited about it I think this could be Bridging the Gap between the
touchscreen interface and the totally not touchcreen you know for those folks
who don't want to touch their screen for folks who are too far away from their
monitor and this is uncomfortable they could still come up and go like this um
if it works then like awesome it should be really cool otherwise you know we'll
all forget about it at some point
uh apparently S node is really good on Note 2 because of S Pen support that's
kind of cool to hear but doesn't help all the incredible amount of S3 owners
of which by the way is more than any other smartphone
ever bam so like that's awesome and I'm
happy it works good for you and Spen is pretty cool but like there's a billion
of us maybe more than that I was trying to just pick a really big number that
that's a good idea do you think it's the transparent OLED display they were showing a while back no cuz if they
they've shown it before I kind of doubt it yeah because they're talking about
like whole new design and like shape of
the TV and stuff so unless they took that and shaped it
differently um I am building an x79 rig
now and Slick runs a z77 rig now so I
guess both of us will be waiting for the next chipet before we make any
upgrades I use Blue-ray for backing up my Blu-ray movies no you should use a
hard drive for backing up your Blu-ray
movies okay whoa that's a lot of sorry
if you tweet that many times I'm going to have to skip yes we are going to have
an x40 and x60 and a review comparison and conclusion we haven't had time we're
going to use the standardized test bench I'm actually going to have to do some
fancy dremeling to make the x60 fit in it but that's okay we're going to do it
um so yeah we will do that but it'll be once we get back from CES Yin Yik I am
very sorry if I'm pronouncing your name wrong um
J I get it you're GNA do it again when I start
talking at you okay so I don't know probably not
for an incredibly long time but if you're interested in that kind of stuff Google up Oculus Rift that's the closest
thinging be getting in the near future they're awesome look it
up you can pre-order them what are you
talking about which which one easily
dies sorry you those are totally totally
different things in every possible way no I wouldn't really recommend a GT 640
anything under a hundred bucks for a graphics card is not a good value and I
don't mean it's not cheap it is cheap but it's not a good value because value
is I I think of in terms of frames per second per dollar I actually had someone
giving me a really hard time on uh on Twitter because I wouldn't recommend a
GT uh or a GTX uh 650 to someone and I
was like GTX 650 is not a good value I
said and they're like oh lus not everyone you know blah blah blah can get
the best card and you guys are so focused on GTX 660 Ti and 670 like well
no actually it's you can get a 650 TI
but the difference in performance between a 650 and a 650 TI is like this
and the difference in price is like this value is FPS per dollars not just
dollars so a 640 is never a good value
because it costs like 80% of what something way better costs but it'll
perform like half as well so it's a terrible terrible value never buy entry
level video cards you got to look into the price for performance curves and
like if you're buying like a a card like that it's going to be obsolete so quick
yeah do you know where I can buy modded cases I don't know no I mod them
myself buy a Dremel and some like panels from Home
Depot or wherever you buy okay Home Depot stuff well I think that wraps it
up for now thank you guys for tuning in to our shortened live stream hopefully
two weeks from now when we do the next live stream you guys will be able to um
tune on time because we'll be like ready
and I'm sure we'll have tons more topics it's been kind of dead lately because
everyone's just kind of Calm before the storming because of CES so so we're
going to have way way too much stuff to talk about yeah instead of just like
might have to do like a deluxe like longer live stream or something maybe
we'll talk about it in the uh in the cool down from CES we'll plan like one
like a debriefing maybe we do like a three or five hour live stream or
something like that as long as we get a huge list of comments I mean uh topics
and people are willing to come around I'm cool with it yeah okay all right
good night guys thanks for tuning in
