all right so I believe we are live nowo
hopefully wow the lower third is not above you uh now it is hooray anyways we
have a whole bunch of cool stuff including a uh one entire full unit of a
bucket worth of E3 conference announcements we have R9 300 series
release info stuff we also have the R9
Fury series release info stuff we have no performance benchmarks for you guys
yet the performance embargo for Fury is lifting not yet I think it's under
embargo when the Embargo is up or maybe it isn't I don't know I guess you'll
have to watch the show to find out or you could just Google it I guess that's fine too also there's going to be a
$150 Xbox controller what could justify
a controller that's worth half as much as the console itself I guess we'll find
out and that's assuming that you think an Xbox is worth what they charge for it
are you rolling the intro
yes man I got no idea what's going
on oh I'm in a pretty narrow sliver there I got to try not to lean out of my
window all right thank you to l.com fresh books and squares
spin woo square space I like how the
scene you're on says No guest because it's actually finally accurate for
because get it you're long distance but you're not a guest anyways that was
terrible right I am not a guest you're right you did very well um I'm waiting
until the intro ends so I can figure out which where I should be my head you're
fine you're good you're you're you're right in the right spot right now maybe
if you like Lean Back slightly Lean Back slightly and prob more
improperly I'm probably worse positioned than you are right now so no big deal
have you read into any of the E3 news um
any of the game announcements okay cool yeah yeah a little bit um one of the
ones that looks really cool to me and I want to preface this with that um E3
announcements are complete horseshit and we shouldn't really care at all about
anything that they said yeah but um South Park the fractured butthole I
really want to be excited about but but I think is probably going to be garbage
um because Dev by uh I I didn't say that
I didn't say that you know I got a lot of friends who work at ubis no I don't
um that that's why I mean I don't it
always it always kind of it's like how
do I how do I put this it's like if I
came up with the concept of us having like a great YouTube video and I have
you make it and it's really good and then I'm like wow that was so successful
let's make another YouTube video I'm going to have someone else do
it where does this logic come from like I get it game studios are busy or or
whatever or maybe maybe they are charging too much this time but like
come on Parker and stone you guys can afford it figure it out yeah cuz South
Park was received really well with stick of truth it was there were some
development pitfalls like it it was not a smooth development process but did you
play the game no but but it's always been there like I should probably play
this and I will play it eventually kind of okay it is wow okay aside from ones
that I buy for benchmarking which as you know I can't play because the save games
will overwrite because games are ridiculous now um that is wow in the I
don't know it's been years I paid $59.99
us for that game full price and I was I
waited and waited and they didn't the price and the reviews were great and Ed
told me it was great and I was like come
on drop the price and they didn't and I bought it I paid full price and it was
worth every penny I really enjoyed the so I want I I I'm doing it I'm doing
that like wow I played the last one and it was great I really want to play the next one I'm doing it but I'm not going
to pre-order it and I'm going to wait for the reviews I think that's fine if
you're like oh I'm excited I want to play the next one but I'm going to wait till it's out I think that's completely
fine cuz I'm super stoked to play Fallout 4 right but I haven't
pre-ordered it that's right because Bethesda has let you down they have they
were they were my golden ticket every time they released anything it was fine
and then it was like Elder scolls online no I hate you now we're done it was a
personal insult to you it was it was I I
also the Doom trailer looks like oh like
it looks it looks like cartoony level of
you know horrible Gore actual just like stupid fun like kind of pain killery um
so I'm I'm I'm really liking the Doom trailer but I mean when's the last time
ID did anything worthwhile so you know I don't want to I don't want to be a total
total jackass about it but again I'll be waiting for waiting for positive reviews
um and then rise of the Tomb Raider oh man I might even pre-order it because
okay hold on hold on can I can I can I sort of okay I'm not saying to pre-order
the Xbox version cuz it's not not coming to PC until some indeterminate amount so
you'll kind of know what the game is all about because you'll see the Xbox
version first but but Crystal Dynamics
did a really good job of the PC Port of
Tomb Raider 2013 I loved that game I
really enjoyed it that but more of it please would be great um and as long as
they don't completely mess it up then I'm I'm in for I'm in for a Tomb Raider
I heard there's more tomb raing this time
yeah that would be good because there were what like four four optional tombs
I maybe yeah I don't I don't remember exactly what it was but it was it was
not even a very big part of the game um
another interesting thing Elder Scrolls Legends look I I don't think that's
going to do much personally just I I
would love to think it was going to do great but just with with the crushing
force that is Hearthstone yeah I mean Hearthstone was
like that's what blizzard does is they just kind of do something completely
stupid that makes no sense like yeah
we're going to we're going to throw every we're going to throw all our weight behind an MMO at a time when MMOs
were like really nerdy yeah and they like took it mainstream yeah and now
it's like yeah we're going to take a card game which is already inherently
nerdy and we are going to nerd the crap out of it by making it a digital card
game and we are going to wreck everything and make it mainstream just
because blizzard does it doesn't mean that anyone else can do it I think is
words to live by yeah um and speaking of
Blizzard Starcraft 2 Legacy of the Void I am not particularly excited about
finally getting um so they're actually
doing a miniseries in between Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void so it's
called Whispers of Oblivion and I haven't actually played any of the
Starcraft 2 campaign yet embarrassingly enough I actually only even own wings of
Liberty so as much as I'm like way late on this um once they've released the
whole thing I'm going to just binge play it cuz I I really I I know I'm one of
those disgusting people who legitimately enjoys RTS storylines no I do too I I've
bought multiple RTS games with zero intention of playing the multiplayer um
and thinking back on like Red Alert 2 even Red Alert one like I enjoyed the
single player Supreme Commander was a
great example of a terrible single player campaign
implementation because basically you were just it was just like an AI in a
spot and a limited Tech Tree like there was there wasn't even a lot of scripted
elements and stuff so it was just like it was just kind of bad it was an
afterthought but I really enjoyed it so
whatever screw you guys I like RTS single player games I
really do um what else is on here that's
interesting Assassin's Creed syndicate I've lost all faith in that series have
you come on because they've done bad ones
before yeah but I'm like relatively far
behind now I guess so CU I haven't
played I I did not play I can't even
remember the name of it Unity I didn't play Unity I didn't play Rogue was it
called and then now syndicate's coming out and I know almost nothing about it I
should try to catch up I've been I was waiting for Unity for Pat to come out
for it to like fix itself I shouldn't say itself for for
developers at UB to fix it um maybe it is now I don't know I'll try
it again sometime soon I guess I don't really have a ton of time to play games
these days I finally bought csgo it was on sale it's always on sale well
whatever it was on sale and I saw it um
so I I want to play sometime wait like a month or two and then yasher and then
right after a big sale especially one that CSO is on but like any time CS go
goes on sale at all there's this like huge wave of hackers oh yeah so just
kind of like chill for a sec not un
sure well all righty then I wish I was kidding but I'm
not firewatch looks super cool and then
there's the no man SK Sky conundrum I'm
also super excited for XCOM 2 I really liked XCOM 1 I played the crap out of
that game mhm so I'm really happy that's coming out hopefully XCOM 2 doesn't have
a game-breaking glitch halfway through the very last mission of the game when
I'm like 32 hours into my campaign that would be really nice um firewatch looks
super cool I'm worried about it for multiple reasons basically it's uh it's
a Wilderness exploration game essentially and it's an indie game so
those two things together scare me a lot so like basically it's a a massive
expanse of emptiness because they can't afford to to Dev the assets and
environments no we're not talking about no man's sky right now oh wct oh ow
oh you're merciless today you even asked
me what my highlights are and then you've just been crapping on everything
yeah oh oh my gosh yeah this isn't in
the um this isn't in the dock the Final Fantasy 7 remake oh wow which I
totally pissed off about cuz you want s
because yeah because why does seven get
all of this attention why does everyone
just have this massive erection for Final Fantasy 7 it is not the best game
I would argue that six well no not I would argue six is object Superior I
would argue that five is superior and I could even make Arguments for nine
although I don't know if a lot of people would agree with me okay um but oh I've
got people asking where I am guys I'm at Google headquarters right now um I came
down for a YouTube Creator day and um I
was actually a panelist which was really exciting for me because it was only two
and a half years ago that I was attending a similar event in Vancouver
um as just someone in the crowd and and
watching the other panelists um talking
so it was it was actually like super like I had goosebumps and stuff really
exciting for me to to be a part of that um I it's really funny during the panel
um I'll get back to Final Fantasy 7 I'm not done with that but during the panel
vessel actually came up and
yeah I kind of had to look over at the YouTube guys I was like so um well gee
it's funny you ask about that actually it's been great it hasn't impacted our
YouTube views it's been purely incremental audience building and
engagement and interaction um yeah I I'm I'm liking
it and you know what the YouTube guys are really cool about it and respectful
of sort of you know what YouTubers are doing to to build their business and
they've really started taking my feedback directly um about how we can
work together for me to not need other video platforms they actually talk to us
at all yeah no it's um super super cool
oh oh oh oh oh okay okay no never mind
Nick is Wrecking me right now he's like
well actually Final Fantasy 7 uh is in
the dock it's in Rapid Fire it was broken out into its own topic because it
is more than just a visual update which
is something that they have done before so it is an actual remake as opposed to
just replacing graphical assets
so um that always worries me actually
yeah are they going to change how the game works yeah game play will be
receiving an update not just the visuals
um so they're also bringing the original bringing the uh an HD port version of
the original game to the PlayStation 4
anyway back to Final Fantasy 7 not being the best Final Fantasy I know I've
covered this on the show before but I will cover it as many times as it takes
until everyone goes and plays Final Fantasy 6 for it Superior storytelling
in characters because nothing happens in
Final Fantasy 7 you could you know that stupid have you guys ever seen the
Guitar Hero episode of South Park have
you seen it Luke no okay well basically uh Stan becomes a Guitar Hero Rockstar
by playing the game really well and he you know the stress of the fame of being
a Guitar Hero leads him to try another game called heroin hero where he just
runs around after a dragon in the forest shooting up heroin um to me that's Final
Fantasy 7 you just run around and you chase the dragon the whole time and then
finally you find the dragon it turns out he's not a dragon he's like an
otherworldly being or some crap and it's not like that's the first time they've
done that in fact spoiler alert because Final Fantasy 6 is a game that's worth
playing unlike the other one um spoiler alert that happens with one of the
antagonists in Final Fantasy 6 too and and it's kind of a common theme for
final fantasy but it just is yeah
dumb that's kind of funny the only Final Fantasy
people are going to stab me after I say this but the only Final Fantasy I've
ever played is I think uh 8 and like 13
or something and I played like half an hour of 13 was like I don't like this
and I loved eight and then everyone hates eight so it's like okay whatever I
should probably go back and play six and seven so I can join this conversation
yeah I I didn't uh I didn't like eight
much I'm trying to remember which one 13 is I don't know if I played that one
which one's the one with
Titus I don't I can't I can't remember I'm I'm I'm showing my old school right
now yeah it's not 13 maybe that's 10 I think that's 10 I played 10 really
enjoyed 10 um anyway people in chat are
saying that eight was good so that's cool yeah some people really enjoyed
eight I didn't I didn't like the combat system but you know what I only gave it
about 20 minutes so I was probably pry unfair I was pretty unfair to eight I
borrowed eight from a friend so it was
one of those things where I was either going to binge play the whole thing or I
was going to have to like give it back in the middle for him to finish it or
something like I only had it for a bit so I was like and do I like this and not
that much not enough yeah yeah yeah got cuz you needed the discs for that game
there was like six of them or something it was like oh new chapter swap the disc
out oh old school gaming the best you
I sat down to play a game the other day and my girlfriend was like do computer
games still like do you have to have the disc in and I I went and showed her like
my steam library and like how it how it works and I'm like I can play any one of
these like 400 games right now I don't even need to put the disc in it was
awesome did that impress her did you impress her with your gigantic steam
library with my extremely long and
girthy list of games yeah
oh wow the twitch chat's freaking out uh
they didn't know you had a girlfriend apparently this was the
reveal what I've said it on the W show before they freak out every
time oh all
right never mind then all right the
twitch chat just does things yeah the twitch chat is the twitch chat we love
you guys the twitch chat always collectively knows and doesn't know
everything so let's move on to our next topic that last one was posted by Mech
777 and I actually I I never did this I
I meant to do this I'm copying the link URL right now so that's PC Gamers
Roundup of a lot of the stuff that we were saying we were were not excited
about depending on whether it was me or Luke talking um
and and for our next one for our next trick we've got South Korea and this
original article here is from Korea herald.com
announcing gigal LTE the world's fastest
LTE connection and what's really cool
about this is a couple of things so number one it combines LTE with Wi-Fi
connections it offers a maximum download speed of 1.17 gabit per second 15 times
faster than existing LTE and four times faster than triand Advanced like this is
some bananas crap here so cool uh 10
times faster upload speed than uh triband broadcast LTE Advanced um but
the really really cool thing about this to me is the fact that the S4 and or
excuse me the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are
already compatible with Samsung launching I think they said five to six
more mid to high-end phones before the end of the year um along with some LG
Electronics handsets that will be compatible with this technology people
on the planet before the end of the year will be using gigabit connections on
their phones that's ridiculous that's
Canada yeah we're we're doing a little rough did I tell did I ever show you my
data usage from the compex trip uh no uh
it was an unlimited H+ Sim so by the end
of the trip I think I was at like 16 gigabytes used sick and how much did you
pay for that 25 bucks yeah oh man just
ridiculous and like we Brandon and I kind of realized partway through because
when you're in the states and you have your Verizon sim and it's unlimited data
but but only the first whatever is actually LTE yeah and we have an
interesting news topic about that later you guys by the way uh throttling
unlimited go ahead go ahead be cool um
but on that one you can't tether so
partway through I was like I wonder if it'll work and I just Tethered to my laptop and it works I was like oh yes
and then that day the data spike is just
massive like this is so great someone sent me a picture of his usage of like
500 and something gigabytes in one month on his data connection wow he has
unlimited plan I'm assuming he connects it to his computer and like does all the
things but still ridiculous yeah that's that's awesome I mean to be able to do
that is uh is something that we can only dream of here here's an interesting
thing I just sent you a link in uh in in our uh in our chat here if you want to
go ahead and fire that up uh zoom in on the Lower Mainland uh I can't can you
send it in hangs oh uh yes I can in fact
I already did you didn't see it in hang out so that was why I tried elsewhere
okay um bring that up because here's
what I want to know um it's a it's a map of Cellular Tower locations in Canada
and you can actually sort it by the major The Big Three carriers up here and
what I observed about the Lower Mainland in particular is that while uh Rogers
and tus have tons and tons of towers
like it's it's it's absolutely bananas how many Towers they have B has very few
and yet their reception here is really good like have you noticed that I
haven't noticed it being worse than Tellus so if they just have like a few
awesome Towers then why can't I have gigabit connections yeah really that's
what I want to know come on Belle it's only like 15 Towers make it happened
like look at for people watching look at the difference between say Rogers
or even tell us man tell Us's coverage of Alberta is just
nuts you can really tell where they're where they're focusing their business in
on by looking at this kind of a map like Bell in the East is supremely bananas
and then in Saskatchewan it's just a black
hole and then tell us I mean that makes a ton of sense because they used to be
BC then they when they expanded to Alberta they became tus so they're
almost entirely Western focused that makes sense and then Belle's like trying
to capture the the territories up
north which is actually rather interesting because it doesn't look like
roders or Tellis are up there very cool
stuff though hey I had actually just stumbled across this because I was trying to figure out while why uh and
this is kind of related why our Bell reception at the new office is not very
good um and it turns out there's a tower like right nearby so I'm I'm not sure
what the deal is it could just be the concrete building and the metal roof and
that's just life I think it's the building cuz there's pretty okay reception just outside the door and then
you walk in and you're screw it's okay though we have a plan it's not cheap
like everything about this freaking new office uh but we are getting a booster
that uh will'll make it so so we've got an antenna outside on the roof and then
we'll have uh we'll have a booster for the inside we'll actually have three antennas internally there you go so uh
so that's the plan anyway good on South Korea for caring about super fast mobile
internet and stuff um moving on to our next topic here this was posted by Mage
tank I'm going to go ahead and M tank
Mage tank that sounds awesome overpowered class that ever exist the
Mage tank I would love for like the lonus
tech tips game to have a mage tank class it should and you just kind of you just
kind of automatically win like only one person per team gets to be Mage tank so
there'll always be only like two on the board but that that could actually be
kind of cool having like a completely op but limited in terms of how many people
can play it class so you have to like like the rest of your team kind of has
to protect the Mage tank even though it's a tank yeah because you want to
survive because it's also a mage that'd be that'd be kind of cool yeah and like
the Mage tank should basically be able to kind of roll anyone other than the
other Mage tank I'm sure someone's done this anyway uh the Broadwell core i7
5775c has gaming performance on par with
Haswell and the original article here is from Maximum PC they've got a whole
bunch of uh really good information about it more importantly than almost
anything else is the information that
Broadwell desktop was super duper late
uh it's late it's a it's it's it's a
refresh at a smaller process node of an
existing Haswell architecture you know processor Series
so performance improvements are uh you
know we we got we got something small but the frequencies are actually lower
out of the box so the performance is pretty darn near the same except it's
got way better onboard Graphics so if you're into that sort of thing then
onboard graphics performance is great it's got a lower TDP if you're into that
sort of thing which I guess is cool it goes from 84 watts to 65 Watts the good
news is that c which is for Crystal well
the um Intel Iris Pro Graphics code name
uh um the C does not mean it's not unlocked so cclass processors are still
unlocked just like K's right I have no
idea why after all the marketing Intel has done about K why are they're
changing that um that's really silly maybe someone a lot smarter than me
could figure that out and tell me what c means maybe they're like well sometimes
they sound the same so it's cool right
maybe it's c for clock speed increasing
enhanced clock speed awesomeness one thing that's pretty cool is as you can
see on this chart that's on the screen right now it shows Eed uh EDR edram
there we go I could talk L4 cach so if
you're not using if you're using a discret GPU that that dam for your
graphics on your processor can be used as L4 cache yes so that is a really cool
architectural enhancement which um doesn't necessarily show up in like you
know Broadwell crushing Haswell performance right now but if developers
kind of figure it out and you know all
these these things always take time developers developers developers yeah if
developers get on boarded with this and kind of go oh hold on a second all of a
sudden there's some this like weird even
faster than system memory but not quite as fast as cash there's this like this
weird in between if I can start leveraging that
super cool lots of potential for it to for that to make a big difference in
terms of performance um I mean more cash is never a bad thing with that said I
actually did a really interesting article way back in the day for Hardware
Canucks because there was one period of
time um where Intel actually had I think it
was either three or four processors that
were exactly the same spec for spec
except for the cash level so they had a Core 2 Duo they had a uh like an e4000
series they had an e 8000 series and
then they had something else and for gaming at that time it made no
difference at all going all the way from
like a quarter as much cash to eight times as much cash I wish I could find
the article cuz it was really cool um oh
who but there you there go if someone if someone finds it and posts it in twitch
chat it might not even be there
anymore um Hardware connects cash like
there's going to be yeah I I don't think I'm I don't think I'm going to be able
to find it that's that's a real shame but uh um I really hope that I
don't know if this is a publicly announced thing but you know what now it is um I really hope that we are able to
Wrangle a whole bunch of the same card because of what you just said uh you
mentioned same spec and then wondering
if the cach would be different um oh go ahead go ahead but what we want to do is
check out because in a review that's coming out soon on a Gigabyte 980 TI
that we have a G1 gaming 980ti um it's
like oh rated speed uh boost clock blah
I don't remember exactly what it is and then what we actually got without touching it at all was way higher I
think like 70 MHz higher or something that's happening with cards all over the
place and that's in a hot room too so like I don't know how vide bloody thing
yeah yeah um so what we want to do lus
actually proposed this and I think it's brilliant is getting like a whole bunch
of the same card all brand new and just take it out of the box put it on the
bench figure out how fast it is okay next one and then just go and see figure
out kind of like a general range the sample size won't be amazing with five
or 10 but it'll still be really interesting to see yeah so we just
wanted see like if you guys are looking
at like a graphics card review for a Titan X or something and you kind of go
oh you beats the you know Fury by you
know 3% man it's better is that actually
yeah what if the variance from sample to sample is like 10% we don't even know so
uh we thought it would be a really interesting investigation and we want to we want to check it out yeah yes yes yes
because yeah there's a lot of interesting things in that review to look at like
um wattage from the wall difference between me overclocking it and GPU boost
overclocking it was only like seven Watts
underload it's fairly interesting fairly
interesting yes yeah so um right the big
elephant in the room and the article that I that I linked actually did a
really good job of talking about this is that Broadwell was delayed by so much
that Skylake is rumored to be showing up
in August so Broadwell's here but um
Skylake is the actual architectural change where it's going to be on the
same 14 nanometer process as Broadwell but with a new architecture not just
like amped up onboard Graphics that you can use the embedded you know vram for a
level four cash or something this is a this is a new new chip um so our advice
whether even not knowing what Skylake has in store is kind of wait for Skylake
right now it'll support ddr4 with that said um I believe Skylake also has
support for DDR3 so H yeah you know it's it's just
not looking like a good time to buy a new computer right now is it not really
dr4 prices are still too high and it's not like they're going to instantly drop
overnight just because Skylake shows up like Fury stuff looks interesting enough
and 9ti performs pretty damn well but then there's those like insane I don't
remember the code name for them graphics cards just kind of on the horizon
yep so let's all stay tuned basically
welcome to any industry being on the bleeding edge of it yeah exactly so this
is cool sort of uh King cry posted the original the original link here from The
Washington Post I'm going to drop that in the twitch chat for you guys um
there what oh I'm trying I'm trying I'm going to press the thing eventually atnt
was hit with a $100 million fine for
throttling unlimited data customers the
FCC assessed the fine on June 17th ATT
has been accused of improperly slowing down internet speeds for customers who
had signed up for unlimited data plans
um it was assessed due to the lack of transparency in this action
um a quote from the article here is AT&T should have been upfront about the
throttled speed since they implemented the practice back in
2011 um in October of 2014 the FCC suit
AT&T due to an estimated three and a half million users having their internet
service slowed to dial up speeds on an average of 12 days a month so we're not
talking like the last couple days of the month they like throttle you back you
know to half speed or whatever we're talking screw over the data access of
their customers because they had the audacity to use the unlimited plan that
they paid for it's like so what if I
negotiate with Luke that um you know I'm
going to you know help him move
something and in return He you know has
me help him move something and I like lift one thing and I'm like yeah I I did
it enough now so you can carry the Rest by yourself like it's not Luke's fault
that I offered to help and move something that's not how this works if ATD has a plan that you can buy and they
have a price tag on it then you should be able to buy
it yep it's pretty brutal and like the
throttle speed is insane too it's not like they turned it down like a little
bit like they put it to 52 kilobits per second like you can't do jack with that
yeah exactly ridiculous you could browse the Linus tech tips.com for them yeah
just kind of a little slowly as long as yeah as long as people are polite and
put their big images in Hiers just like don't go to the build
log section yeah don't go there don't go to the don't go to the memes thread yeah
yeah don't don't really do anything anyway that that's brutal like they yeah
they didn't even I I like how they show stops here so they're like 3 uh 3.5
megabits per second speed required to stream a standard definition video 700
kilobits per second speed required to use FaceTime and you're below that get
wrecked I know to not even be able to use FaceTime it's like yeah we're
slowing down our data like strategically slow enough that you can just use a
voice connection and you can eat into your plan there yeah enjoy insane you
like can't can't can't call your grandparents and like show them around
your house seems to be the only thing that I know anyone uses FaceTime for if
you guys follow me on social media um at
all you've probably already seen this but I'm because I'm at Google
headquarters and I actually I asked them
for a um here hold on a second I'm going to get Luke to share this video I'm
going to I'm going to link you to it Luke so you don't have to look for it here but because I'm in Google
headquarters um and I told them I was streaming so they were like oh yeah okay
so yeah we can get you a landline connection first thing I did of course
is fired up dat speed test and I'm I'm not gonna I'm not going to ruin the
suspense I'm going to get Luke to uh to play the video over there and screen
share with you guys but let me tell you I am uh I am pretty pretty L impressed I
I am loving it I really want
uh we have to listen to you sorry the sound's muted I can't oh
it's okay all I say is hey guys I'm down at Google headquarters so the first
thing I did was run a speed test so I've
kind of covered that already
gotcha Holy balls one millisecond paint
suckers that's so badass yeah
man wow yeah sorry I'm not at Google HQ I'm at a Google campus excuse
me we should just host a Google campus out of our new office yeah I know
right be so epic oh man like Get Wrecked
everything that is real world speed with presumably like people in the building
working like yeah yeah and doing things
and then the upload I actually I ran out of my 30 seconds worth of video
recording before I could do the upload but it was similar it was like 800 870
megabit per second or something ridiculous like that it's so sad just
the the the never wait for anything internet exactly and you can really feel
it too like downloading files is just um
you know how browsers will do their virus scan yeah so you just click
download and then it's like scanning for
viruses okay that's
cool thanks dog um Although our internet
at the new place should be pretty darn good too I'm excited about that did I
tell you oh this is a this is more of just like a Linus Media Group update I
don't think Luke knows this yet so our install date thanks to a
miscommunication between our our like
fiber reseller and the backbone provider
our install date has been pushed to after we'll be moving in oh so for the
first little while we are actually going to be on a 4G
Hotpot wow provided by them or what yeah yeah
provided by okay yeah CU I like that's going to get real expensive real fast
provided by them for screwing it up but uh yeah so I was not impressed when I
found out that uh the original and and actually like I don't even know the
speeds of the 4G hotspot are going to be but originally they were like yeah we
can get you a six down one up ADSL line
I'm like you have got to be Kidd I'm buying 200 megabit symmetric fiber from
you guys and you think that I can get by with six down one up how is we're an
online video company find a better solution well that
hot spot's going to be ridiculous too you know that right I know it's going to
be really dumb um but it is what it is
and it'll be really nice when we when we upgrade I'm even thinking we could just
do like w show for a week from cuz it's not for long but we could do like a w
show one week from my house again for Old Time sake or something like that yeah okay um there's a few more details
about hold on I'm just going to copy the link this was posted by Bozo on the
Forum about Sky Lake that we should probably share with you guys so um
Intel's so there going to be the 6700k and 6600k in core i7 and core i5
varieties so we're going back to the usual naming scheme and we're getting a
new socket so the thing about Broadwell is you can pop it in your existing d97
board not in this not for Skylake you're going to need a z170 chipset and that's
going to be on the LGA 1151 I believe it
is yeah I think it's the LGA
1151 um chipet or uh socket so yet
another subtle change Intel really likes that
1,150 something number they're going to run out because we've had 1150 1155 1156
1151 give it another sort of six years and they're going to have to do something different they can keep step
yeah six years there you go I was going to say they can keeps that weird
stepping that they have going 1157
1152 uh let me just find there's another um so hold on a couple more sky leg
things before we move on to our last bit of Intel news uh notebook versions of
skyl processors are planned for the fourth quarter of 2015 and Nel's
notebook reference design for the platform includes support for USB 3.1
with type-c ports so that stuff is not
going to be apple exclusive for long which is well it's not exclusive now I
mean there's a Chromebook but who cares uh no no oh can I say that here are they
listening oh dear someone comes to the door we're
taking your internet CL yeah you like that gigabit internet you're on right
now yeah you like that you like that [ __ ] give it up now umre so I've got
our last bit of Intel news and this is this is you know I don't know I don't
know what to say about this Intel plans job cuts across the company the is
posted by Joss on the Forum um says an internal memo and they plan to reduce
R&D spending so this is a confidential internal memo that indicates that Intel
wants to keep expenses flat to match its reduced Revenue Outlook for 2015 citing
plans it announced in April to cut its research and administration budget by
300 million this year doesn't say how many people will lose jobs but said the
cuts will begin June 15th so that was 4 days ago and conclude 1 month later
laid-off employees will receive a minimum of two months pay according to the memo plus extended health insurance
and additional payments based on their time with Intel and exchange for release
of any claims against the company um no
one has been notified uh or excuse me
not no one but um if you're losing your job there's a very good chance you
haven't been notified yet and I got to kind of look at this and
go was Intel really expecting 8%
performance improvements year-over-year to drive CPU sales yeah
what did they expect the mainstream is
getting bigger and and Broadwell desktop
is a great example of this the mainstream is getting better graphics
performance that they never asked for yeah and the guys that are because you
can talk about how small the Enthusiast segment is all day and it is the guys
that are out there buying you know 5960x extreme editions are few and far between
their grains of sand in an ocean
but they are influencers and Intel has made it hard
to get excited about their CPUs for a
long time now and influencers aren't going to be like running around telling
all their buddies that their new CPU is so great and it makes their gaming
experience so awesome and they need to upgrade they're not going to be doing
that if you don't keep them excited and I I I hope that as part of you know
cutting costs and strategic things that they're doing there I hope they're also
taking taking a look at what makes Intel sexy stuff like the 750 SSD doesn't
necessarily show up in a positive way on a balance sheet because there's like a
handful of motherboards that can even use the stupid thing not to mention that it's really expensive but what it does
is it gets people talking about Intel's Innovation and leadership in SSD I mean
Intel's lucky that AMD's been sitting on their ass for the Last 5 Years um with
that said I think that brings us really well into another topic here that oh I
don't actually okay this one I don't think is in the dock but AMD has
committed to a full meet like CPU not an APU with the
upcoming Zen so if it's wouldn't be the
first time that Intel fell asleep at the wheel a little bit and kind of went yeah
it's good enough uh let's focus on like making graphics better which is
important especially and AMD believes it's important too let's just be sorry
hang out this to me oh uh which one the article oh uh there's a post on the
Forum I actually don't have it up uh I'm just going worry about just to be clear
AMD and Intel are and Apple for that matter all on the same page about GPU
performance actually being a huge driving force for the future I mean
Apple was showing off their metal API um
at their worldwide developer conference talking about huge performance
improvements in like real work like not
just you know running YouTube videos on
the Internet or whatever like real work things like the Adobe suite um thanks to
metal so I'm not saying that what Intel's doing isn't really really
important and valuable with these great gpus built into their CPUs I'm just
saying it's not sexy um because it's it's not there's no
like what is the upgrade itch you know like as enthusiasts I feel like we all
kind of we all kind of know what we're talking about right like yeah this
Hardware is like great and it's cool but that's what Apple's so good at they make
it sexy they make it exciting even if the hardware isn't new and isn't
exciting and I feel like I feel like Intel's just kind of lost that a little
bit over the last while and uh it wouldn't be the first time that Intel
was like I said kind of as sleep at the wheel and AMD showed up out of nowhere
and took a chunk of their lunch let's face it AMD has never really been you
know head-to-head with Intel but they've at least been like a great number two at
times and even you know for the techsavvy the better choice at times um
and I I would love to see that happen again with Zen as much because I you
know would love to run a Zen processor as because I would love for Intel to
wake up and kick some ass and conro us again you know just and anything
exciting in the PC space right now would be super
great everything's extremely expected all across the board as far as I can
tell I felt that a little bit at computex uh speaking of things that are
expected the W show pretty much always has sponsors yay so we'll start with
linda.com and I guess Luke's on uh Luke's on changing frame Duty can't see
what you're doing so it's done we're good you're awesome and you know what
else is awesome linda.com it's used by millions of people around the world with
more than 3,000 courses available they've continued to develop in the time
that we've been working with them so they've continued to add more industry
experts uh more courses more features
you can create create playlists uh that you can actually go through and you can
sort of tailor your learning experience according to what it is exactly that you
want to do you can work on your own time and they've improved being able to learn
on your own time by allowing you to download courses and watch them on iOS
or Android devices sorry go ahead I love that the ability to download courses
that's super cool that's super awesome it's like it's like the good kind of DRM
it's like yes this is our content you have to pay to use it but like you can
use it in a way that's convenient for you yep because I I've actually had a
not insignificant amount of people come up to me at shows and be like hey I kind
of hope you don't mind but I don't watch any of your videos on any platform
because I download them because they're like I want to
watch them at work or whatever and I don't get sell there for whatever reason
because I have X and Y type of job but I'm like whatever man that's cool yeah
we want you guys watching that's the most important thing I mean we'd love
for you to watch us on you know a monetized plat if you can but if for
whatever reason you can't we'd sure as hell rather you watch than not watch yes
yeah exactly um so plan started only $25 a month for Linda head over to linda.com
wow to try it out for free for 10 days
and if anyone from Linda's watching this we want a longer free trial because I
know there's one other place where you can actually get a longer one so Linda
we want to offer our viewers a longer free trial because the service is really
awesome yeah um next up we've got Squarespace Squarespace is what it
freaking is actually we've got a proposal into Squarespace for something
really cool that would have us like building a site that would have some
really cool functionality anyway I don't want to it's it hasn't been accepted yet
or anything like that but we love working with those guys because they're
just all about the right things they're about making the web work better and be
faster and be a smoother experience to get more people online and whether it's
creating a blog or making a store to sell their little widgets that they
create in their garage or just like getting out there and connecting with
people they make creating a website easy and affordable at only $8 a month you
get a free domain if you sign up for a year and you get 10% off your first
purchase if you use offer code Linus over at squarespace.com so if you don't
have a website Luke's highlighting the Squarespace build it beautiful thing all
right I'll say it Squarespace build it beautiful
yes yes you're so funny um I because
like I can't see Luke but I can see his cursor in the dock
and last up today we've got fresh books it's the online tool to get your
accounting done quickly these guys love you guys and they keep sort of they keep
throwing these sponsor spots at us because they keep finding so many of you
guys who are using fresh books whether it's because you or someone you know is
running your own business and you don't feel like mucking about with all that
accounting crap and logging time sheets and logging receipts and then trying to
remember where everything is freshbooks is the online tool that allows you to
keep track of your hours in your business and your billing get your
customers to pay you by credit card see when they've received the bill and just
take care of those little details so that you don't have to do that and
instead you can focus on installing showers or um you know framing buildings
or whatever it is you're doing as a as a as a contractor or as a self-employed
person so head over to freshbooks.com when and enter when in the how did You
Hear About Us section when you sign up for your free trial there's a free trial
I forgot about that yes all right what's our next topic here
I am lost in the dark now okay it's okay I got this right radon R9 300 series
speaking of exciting things that AMD is doing um so AMD did everything from
completely pointless and horrible to actually looking pretty darn exciting
over the last week with the launch of the R9 300 series and the R9 Fury Series
so we'll start with r 9300 because um we
can go through this pretty quickly it's posted by Z
mule and um yeah so the R9 uh excuse me
the r7260 is now the r7360
the hd7850 is now the r7370 the R9 285 is
now the R9 380 so at least they've
acknowledged that um yeah it is sort of lower uh the R9
290x is now the R9 390x and uh the 390 and 390x now come
with 8 gigs of memory not that we haven't had 8 gig 290x cards for months
now that's true and memory bandwidth was increased from 5 to six gbit per second
likely just thanks to better yields on that stuff and AMD's MSRP and this is a
this is a big gigantic wheelbarrow full of fail are actually higher than the
street prices for certain cards um at
retailers right now so if you were thinking hey I'd sure love to have an R9
390x then you should probably go to Amazon using our code by the way uh buy
a 29x and then draw a three on it
because while there were some rumors that the 390 and 390x had actually
improved the GPU compared to the 290 and
290x um there's already rumor debunking
stuff showing up right now in fact um
the driver thing you're talking about yeah that's the one I'm going to I'm
going to pull up right now I'm going to post this link uh oh I don't actually
have the I don't have I don't have the link to uh to hard ocp but whatever I'll
just I'll post I'll post what I have here you guys um so it looks like it was
a driver tweak and uh an enterprising
individual out there found a way to make the 390 launch driver run on the 290x
and the tessellation performance improvements that came with the 300
series uh are mirrored exactly on the 29 200 series Once the the driver like why
do they even bother why do these companies even
bother we're gonna find out yeah like
the PC tech media and I'm not even like
I'm not even including myself here like some of those guys are really really
smart like really smart like you are not
and even if they don't grab it like a lot of the end users are really really
smart and will figure it out if if if we don't that's right you know guys like
between the professionals you know the guys like a Scott Watson or Ryan shroud
or Ryan Smith between those guys and between the really smart end users that
are out there how can you possibly expect to get to to pretend that
tessellation performance improved when it's a driver tweak
um yeah so
anyway uh let's talk R9 fury because this is where things actually get quite
a bit more interesting so big stuns posted the original article on lineus
Tech tips here and it's from legit reviews which I have gone ahead and
posted in the twitch chat so the performance of any card rending the new
Fiji GPU is still under NDA until it's
released uh the R9 until the R9 Fury X is released on Jun unee 24th so to be
clear uh Fury X2 which is just a
placeholder name for the Dual GPU fij card that's rumored to be coming out in
the fall and um has been pictured is one
of them and then we're also getting an R9 Fury X and an R9
Fury so what can we just make the naming
scheme even more confusing yeah what the hell why didn't they just make life I
mean the thing the thing that I think companies Miss sometimes is like why
something worked it's like yeah it's like if BMW released like a super
awesome car and a bunch of people bought it and let's say it was called like the
you know the X6 or something and
Nissan's like yeah let's call our next series The X6 e for like
Evolution and like it's like not as good of a car yeah copying someone else's
naming scheme and and and product tearing structure is not is not going to
work it's not doesn't work that way the Titan wasn't successful because it was
called a Titan they should have made it what in mythology killed the
Titans um wasn't there a thing I can't
remember I actually like the throwback branding now to be clear if they were
going to have something that was like a like a truly you know Head and Shoulder
above everything else product I actually don't mind them calling it like a rage
or a fury or like an R9 Max or like like
a throwback to the only new card it's just that it's the only new
card and the rumors have the performance
competitive with GTX 980ti so you can't Titan was Titan
because there was nothing it was competing against not because they just
called it Titan so for Fury to be a fury
and to truly be different then it would
have to compete against something that's really different now you can make the
argument that if Fury X is competitive
with gtx980 ti then it's pretty damn competitive with Titan X but I also
think Titan X is stupid and people who bought Titan X's should feel pretty bad
right now not because they're dumb but because NVIDIA didn't really give them a
value in the way that they did with the original Titan which had the better
double Precision performance in addition to the larger frame buffer and the fact
that you got you know big Kepler
performance a significant amount of time before anyone else got big Kepler
performance at least not at an affordable price um where am I going
with all this right right specs for R9 Fury X do you want to run through this I
feel like I've been talking forever I'm sorry when I can't see you it's hard to
see when I can't see you it's so easy to talk over you I'm sorry I know but it's
actually been okay because I never controled the screen so I'm just so lost
in like usually I have like all my notes on my screen I'm just like all right
this is how I work and I don't navigate websites so I spent a lot of this time
just being like am I supposed to be scrolling right now or like what do I
do I have no idea what's supposed to be happening I've been having the opposite
experience I've been like oh this is great I I have my webcam like right
above my notes I can just like look right at my notes I don't have to remember Jack yeah because usually what
I'm doing is I read the chat to make sure everything's is going fine and like
make sure the thing's stable and the audio is level and every we're not
screwing anything up and like so I haven't been monitoring the chat I'm
scrolling through it's weird um I don't even know where the specs are like in
the oh scroll down a little bit May they're right there I I can do it if you
want go for it and maybe I'll just jump in probably all right so we've got 496
stream processors running at 1050 MHz 64 compute units
2565 texture units 64 RS and blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah can talk about the game stuff yeah so this is
cool it's only it's less than 20 cm so
just over 7 and2 inches in length which to me is kind of merits a penis
extension of some sort I'm sure someone's going to mod something like that um no because um look at what we've
been doing lately a lot of really small computers
compact builds the the most fun thing we did in the last little while was that
little tiny ridiculous Silverstone case and you know they make those even
smaller if you're able to use some 700 W
sfx or even their really insane density 600 WT and then an ITX motherboard and
then a short ass graphics card you and then you throw you throw a Broadwell
desktop on there and all of a sudden you've got a 65 watt TDP on your CPU you
don't even need to liquid cool your CPU or even put a decent cooler on it your
GPU can have that one 120 mm fan cooling
slot that can actually take up the space
where the butt end of your graphics card would have normally been I might get my
PlayStation two size computer at some point here with a pretty significant uh
GPU kick because if this was two years
ago I would have been completely on board with what you just said like oh
it's a short car that's going to look super stupid because I was one of like the bigger haters of the whatever that
card was you run an 800d yes and you're
thinking of the 670 The the that one
yeah I hated that the performance grade inia like
like that that bugged me so much but
yeah I think it would be fine now but so many people are building smaller builds
yep like looking at my 800d now it's just like the only reason why I have
that is because I haven't upgraded anything in my computer in a long time
so AMD has way overdone the cooling they've got a scythe gentle typhoon type
fan on it it's 120 mm rad uh the thermal
limit of the GPU is apparently 75° so they want to keep it cool for some
reason very interesting um it has a 275
Watt PP with a 500 watt capable cooler
at the at the at the Target please don't go higher than this temperature yeah
very interesting um the R9 Fury non x uh
we don't have as much detail about so fewer course than the X and it does not
have a reference design we've seen NVIDIA do this kind of thing before oh
apparently they want Luke to turn mic volume up I know I don't know if I can
okay I can turn myself down a little I I just I can never the volume dial on
this thing is for my monitoring isn't it
there maybe that's a little bit bit better okay so um blah blah blah blah
blah right we've seen NVIDIA do this before where every card will be a
non-reference card and quite frankly it probably makes sense in this case since
um if they were doing a reference card I'm I'm assuming on a lower cost card
like this they would want to do a blower design and the aftermarket guys are
going to want to put open air coolers on them and they're not going to want to
sell blowers anyway and the blower is probably not going to be that effective
if the TDP is anywhere near the the 290 or the the fury X I mean even you know
we saw the same thing with Titan X like it's that cooler design is great on a
980 not as great on a titanx or not
great at all that's why oh I'm I'm I'm highly frustrated with Zotac right now I
love those guys but they really should have sent me the Arctic Storm Titan X
because I really want to see what you can do with like a good not that air
cooler on a Titan X you know what we uh
we have two Titan X's we could sacrifice one of them to the water block Gods
maybe just um you know what maybe we could do some maybe we could do like
some water cooling content over the next little bit here because you wanted to oh
I can't reveal that okay well whatever there could be some water cooling
content coming yes okay so let's talk
let's talk Fiji architecture for a little bit here run away AMD says it
took nearly 7 years to develop um they're thinking about releasing all the
data needed to 3D print your own side covers for the card shoud which is
pretty neat encouraging modding is always something that looks good for
these companies to do and cost them nothing um AMD put nine LEDs on the back
of a card that allow you to see GPU load level it's not the first time we've seen
something like this there's uh two dip switches on the back plate that allow
you to enable or disabled the GPU Tac and allows you to change the color of
the LEDs between red and blue to match your case theme better there's also a
light that goes on if their zero core power mode is enabled um one thing that
I really like s to jump in here is that they did the like nine little LEDs for
for load level because one thing that's been driving me insane is multicolored
RGB load level indicators on
cards it's like what the HCK I I don't
want my like all red and black badass card in my all red and black badass
system to randomly be like green right
no what are you doing this is not Christmas I am playing games or I am not
playing games stop it so I'm I'm very
happy with the the little like line of LEDs idea like how hard can you hit the
hammer make the thing go up style instead of multicolored LEDs right yes
um so onto more more Fiji architecture
stuff this is this is really a little disappointing actually um the GPU does
not support HDMI 2.0 it is running my
1.4a with that said I can't really think
of a no I can think of a reason it would be really nice for TVs with HDMI 2.0
like if you want to game on a TV uh it's going to be hard to find a DisplayPort
TV it would have been super sick if you could uh if you could handle 4K 60 HZ on
a TV so that's like sort of kind of
disappoint um but there's other really
cool stuff so for the I don't know first time in a while I guess AMD has really
leapfrogged NVIDIA in a way that I'm sure NVIDIA is going to be playing down
to the best of their ability because NVIDIA is still on GDDR and AMD has
spent a lot of time and a lot of effort on hbm so that's their High Bend width
memory technology um so what this is is
effectively the RAM is sitting like
physically it's actually physically smaller CU they're stacking it instead
of laying it out flat and it is physically closer to the GPU for much
much higher memory bandwidth than we've seen before with that said um memory
bandwidth overclocking has typically not done a whole lot not lately me and Luke
over the last couple of years but there are benefits that might not be
immediately apparent so the power consumption savings is a big one the
fact that you can now take more of your power tuning and throw it at the GPU
instead of the memory since you're limited by how much the PCI Express
specification allows you to pull through a slot and the and the power plugs that
go into it so that's a benefit and I
mean I guess well that's that's a big benefit and what we can do with more
memory bandwidth in the future is something that is yet to be unlocked by
developers and so more is better one
problem that AMD is downplaying Hardcore
right now and I'm really not sure if I agree with is that R9 Fury X and R9 Fury
are going to launch with 4 gigs memory Max so four 1 gig uh Stacks next to the
GPU um and with AMD sort of trumpeting
the benefits of 4 gig back when they launched Hawaii with the 290x uh for 4K
gaming and kind of going yep 4 gigs is
still enough when NVIDIA has traditionally been the one to let AMD
throw more memory at their cards and then um kind of put the right amount of
memory per GPU um to have AMD kind of
going yep yep 4 gigs is enough um but we're going to work on 8 gigs later is
is a bit of a difficult message for me to swallow but I understand why whether
it's yields or whether it's pure availability of chips they are should do
a uh we've been talking about doing this for a little while now and it's
complicated but we should do a deeper dive how much vram are we using in
different situations video um NCI Tech tips actually did one not that long ago
um and the truth of the matter is that even gaming at 4K you are very unlikely
to exceed four gigs of memory usage yeah but the problem with that is you can get
damn close today and there's a lot of
games like look look at how PE E3 was
yeah there's a lot of games and a lot of games like Grand Theft Auto 5 that are
going to have a lot of mods that are going to ask for a lot of video memory
and if you could have super fast and know people that have gotten over four
gigs with Skyrim mhm absolutely oh yeah
for sure like a lot of times yep so I
mean that was how AMD Justified the release of the R9 290x with 8 gigs and
then the funny part here is that 390 and 390x fly right in the face of that
message that four gigs is enough these are lower end cards that AMD is throwing
8 gigs of memory at yeah so that's
pretty brutal yeah I mean it's all going to
come down to Performance and at the end of the day if the fury X crushes the 980
TI even in spite of its you know 2 gigs less memory I think a lot of people are
going to run to it and the fact that the form factor is so different is a really
unique selling point for me um so I really like it I'm excited to check it
out uh it turns out ours is in the mail and is scheduled for delivery today oh
okay has show up yet no it hasn't they sent it to my house because there're a
bunch of people who don't ask where to ship things
and don't tell me that they shipped it well they don't usually ship us things
they're like I'm like yeah so I I saw the review embargo date so are you
planning to send one at all they're like oh yeah it's already in the mail I'm like well don't you think maybe you
should actually check with me before you mail things to me like what what if and
what if this was an alternate universe and I didn't have time like what if I
actually wasn't going to have a video up would you it would already be in the
mail like don't you think you should check these things with people like what
what if I what if I broke my leg yesterday and I actually can't benchmark
the fury X or some injury that would actually prevent me from benchmarking a
graphics card we both broke our legs yesterday and and hands yeah yeah yeah
anyway so I'm hoping that my wife I'm
hoping that they'll they'll drop it um and my wife can can get it in time
otherwise it'll show up Monday at my house which is super dumb because
that'll give us like one day basically to make a video about it just we've done
it before I know but it's not a good thing and it's involved like
copious amounts of overtime yeah um all
right so moving on yeah moving moving
happen uh this was a really cool article uh posted on the Forum by jbird and it's
the uh the features that Apple didn't tell you about iOS 9 and some of them
are like really cool and some of them are just like holy cow it took long
enough um so you can pinch to zoom in and out on a video now
um they give you detailed battery usage for the last 24 and last 72 hours um you
can do you can group notifications by app uh you can disable shake to
undo y yeah that's good um Touch ID
protected passwords in Safari uh some there's some new stock apps quick reply
for all apps um you can turn off all vibrations
upper case keyboard Keys you guys should check that out if you're an iPhone user
it's definitely worth checking out because there's always the stuff in the keynote and then there's the actually
like oh wow this is super useful I wish they'd mentioned it stuff after the fact
when I was using my iPhone I immediately installed swift key iPhone didn't have
uppercase and lowercase
keyboards what swift key for iOS the
last time I used it was still kind of terad though it's it's bad but I
switched anyways cuz it knew my typing profile and stuff
right so I was like sure man but it was yeah I did not like that that one of the
things I really didn't like about the iPhone as a key I mean last time around that was one of the big the big things
it's like thank you you finally support third party keyboards wish this had
happened a long time ago yeah all right
so let's talk input devices here this
this is a thing um third party third
party Fancy Pants controllers have been
available for some time time um whether
it's for the Xbox or Playstation or PC
or whatever but I have not yet seen a first
party controller of this magnitude so
the Xbox One Elite controller was announced at
E3 um it features four interchangeable
paddles around the back hair trigger locks for precise control and Shooters
remappable buttons completely swappable
components including like you can change out the d-pad um stain the stainless
steel paddles are removable but when they're attached they allow you to keep
your fingers on the thumb sticks at all times we've seen like janky modded ones
in the past that are just like they replicate the functionality of other
buttons but um full customization of
thumbstick sensitivity and minimum min max levels for the controller's top
triggers and these settings along with button mapping are handled through a
standalone app that will be released for Xbox One and Windows 10 so with all this
talk about valve's new controller and
with the third party Innovation that's happened and the fact that Microsoft
other than you know making the original Xbox controller actually holdable by
real people with normal siiz hands and then streamlining the Xbox 360
controller it seems like Microsoft has taken notice and is
actually maybe going to capture our attention with this Xbox One platform
after after all it's expensive as hell yeah it's $150 if all that sounded great
until the price I don't blame you yeah
um your controller preferences are stored in the cloud the game pad itself
can carry around two user profiles like it actually looks kind of badass but hey we got to
we got to straw pull this um chat badass I I'll create I'll create a straw pull
um sure interested in and remember guys
you don't have to be an Xbox gamer to to buy this it's going to be for the PC the
dong the dongle coming the dongle announced for the PC the wireless dongle
M uh controllers are super important
even for PC guys if you want to play racing games if you want to play a lot
of just action games I I personally think Assassin's Creed plays better with
a uh controller yeah I I played team Raider 2013 with a controller for sure
um and speaking of racing games Logitech
did announce the G29 at E3 I haven't
actually looked into it a ton but I'm I'm hoping to uh get our hands on a
review unit of that the problem is that they're releasing the oh crap I forget
what they're calling it but the the PlayStation exclusive one
first um so IID kind of sent in a
request for an engineering sample of the PC compatible and Xbox One and I haven't
heard back or anything yet so look at
these votes do you have this up no
interested in buying an Xbox Elite controller 38% interview at
$150 here I'll send you the link I'm not crazy
surprised um but I'm I'm a little
surprised I'm very happy that turnup has at least
24% yeah vote vote for turnup you guys
turnup is turnup is turnup is uh love and life and all that but 40% of you are
interested in the Xbox Elite controller this is a half and half mix that is a I
mean obviously this isn't you know a painstakingly crafted you know market
research survey but
wow after working controllers are a thing I don't know I like really nice
controllers Co I mean before benate one of uh unbox therapy's top uh top Feud
videos was some some Xbox controller yeah I forget which one it is uh Xbox
controller I'll search for it the Avenger oh no the Scuf Controller scuff
yeah that makes sense no no Avenger Elite was that's weird no end control
Avenger 5.7 million views was a play
aftermarket PlayStation 3 controller with like it looks like a Swiss army
knife yeah um what else we got
today oh right the other big thing that Microsoft announced backwards
compatibility for the Xbox one even
servers wow dropping
bombs at E3 I mean I think Luke you and
I both agreed Nintendo won E3 last year right yeah not this year last year
though this year I mean can you imagine
this did Microsoft just win E3 wasn't
there a ton of PlayStation game announcements I guess the PC yeah I I
guess it was just a okay but come on I mean Sony's got Sony's downplaying this
already because Sony has changed the architectural design of their consoles
so dramatically from generation to generation particular particularly with the Cell last gen yeah that emulation is
just impossible like early PlayStation 3s needed PS2 Hardware in them and the
PlayStation 4 never had any kind of backwards compatibility whatsoever yeah
so Sony is obviously going to downplay this but backwards compatibility is huge
I mean you look at any other art form
and we're thinking about we're like we're actively making efforts to
preserve it and gaming short of PC
emulation which is becoming less and less feasible over time as you know um
alternative controller schemes like like how how are you going to play a Wii game
unless you have a Wiimote if it's an actually weote optimized game can you
not hook a wi mode up to a PC I think there's janky ways that you can like Foo
do it but it's it's never going to be mainstream it's never going to be like
um you know like like the way that people buy a poster though like
eventually emulating Xbox one and PlayStation 4 shouldn't be that hard
PS3 um I mean I don't I don't want to use the nword but like that may never
happen um and so for Hardware
particularly Hardware someone will get it someone will figure out something but
I doubt it'll ever be perfect in much the same way that even Nintendo 64
emulation is still not perfect it's just a little sketchy there's some there's
some dips and ups and too much doesn't really run right yeah some games that
don't work right so particularly if the device that runs your art form I mean if
we treat games like art has an optical drive in it it will die so unless we're
you know unless all of these guys have like a warehouse of pristine condition
consoles or have plans to open source the hardware at some point so people can
continue to enjoy this content for like let's not even think years let's think
decades or let's think you know centuries from now it's not like we
don't appreciate art from you know the the Middle Ages how are we going to
preserve Playstation One gaming for our children's children's children I don't
know it's it's an interesting question because you look at what's happened to a
lot of the old consoles it just doesn't exist anymore or you're doing like what
I'm doing which is just hoard old
consoles and old games and even that's going to be limited to guys who have
like in the in the case of cart you're limited in some cases to guys who
have the skills to like solder new batteries yeah I mean they barely work
and that's that's a lot better than an optical drive yep I have a number of NES
games that you can't um the like internal batteries or
whatnot are dead and or even SNES games
and just exactly and the PC is much much
better at this uh thanks to the boat anchor that holds us back in a lot of
ways that is x86 but these completely closed Garden
consoles are just going to Fade Into
Obscurity I don't know I I worry about
that yeah well I I don't know I do we
have any more topics uh I think that was everything I
really wanted to get through uh oh yeah I've got this is just kind of a fun one
so I really hope I don't offend any of you uhoh but this is like the world's
saddest thing ever um real doll is a company making silicone sex dolls and
they are upgrading them in a significant Manner and I don't mean upgrading your
sexo can you like chat with them remotely so um they are making AI heads
for their existing silicone sex doll
object things that will kind of act like
they like what you're doing uh with
plans to release so they're planning to have those available by 2017 with plans
to release fullbody animated sex bots um
in the future that will cost up to $777,000 now what I can say is that's
nothing compared to a real woman
but come on
really uh the article here is from new.com Australia and the funny thing
about anything sex related is there's always going to be like a like a sexpert
you know that they contact for comment on an article like this and the thing
about sex perts is that with very few exceptions a lot of this is pseudo
scientific nonsense um so you could find a sexpert
to agree with you on anything doesn't matter so they probably
went out and contacted a half a dozen sexperts and just found one that thought
this was a good idea and one that thought it was a bad idea and the one that it was a good idea it was just like
oh well yeah you know you know for some people interacting with other people is
you know whether they're like busy at work is is not as good as having a
silicone doll and like that's I'm
like really like really I maybe maybe maybe
I'm going to be like one of those like weird people maybe you're the caveman
whoa don't think I can scroll down anymore maybe I'm the cave so I want to
hear from you guys straw pull straw pull it yeah sex doll uh yes uh to
augment uh RL relationship yes to
replace no and everyone's favorite
turnip and this is just general probably vote turnip as in like I don't care at
all do whatever you want bro well yeah
okay that's another thing I'm not saying they should be illegal or anything just
to be clear when I say yuck I mean me
personally yuck I don't mean that you can't do whatever you want but I also
think that if we were to if you were like my bro and we were to sit down and
have a heart tohe heart you know like let's just like let's talk about whether
this is a good idea you know for for your well-being I'd be like I don't
think this is a good idea I think that having real contact with real people is
important even if we do it digitally like I think something like uh Skype to
to you is is better than just talking to
an to an AI um and in much the same way
that having a relationship with a person is just even if it's just like practice
Skyping Skyping might even be Skyping to
a real person might not even be as constructive emotionally as talking to
an AI in person depending on how developed the AI is it's a good point
okay so let's post it uh oh oh did I not
post it I don't think so I thought I did people are voting yeah I'll s it to
you um and I mean here's the thing too
though is what we're talking about right now is year 2017 AI I don't think anyone
should spend $77,000 on that Ai Se in
particular yeah yeah I'm I'm sure it's going to be
trash but it's like the early adopter idea probably I would assume it must be
cuz it's going to be super bad bad like look at look at uh even like hugely
commercialized Solutions where it's not like a very
very narrow Market any form of AI or like voice voice control even voice
detection is just garbage so like what
do you expect from this it's not going to be great all right so uh 42% of you
are on the turnip bandwagon with 32% of you saying no um 177% of you saying yes
to augment a real life relationship and let's face it there's lots of people out
there that have sex dolls like it's it's
a thing it exists um and I mean it's
it's one of those things where I guess you know as long as you're sort of honest with each other and as long as
everyone's like cool then that's that's great and then we've got 10% of you
saying yes you know I'm I'm too busy or
I it's not my thing I'm not a people person yes that that is a that is an
acceptable substitute for me very interesting well there you go it's always nice to hear from you guys
because you you can open my eyes a lot of the time I mean the one hosting the
show and Luke's hosting the show but a lot of the times it's you guys sort of
telling us like what's actually going on out there cuz we're only we're only two
people I'm pretty excited that we're talking about sex dolls in front of 6533
people I'm pretty excited that
um those people might get to watch me in
aexx doll in the Afterparty actually no that's not happening um yeah no thank
you all very much tuned in after party ever yeah I'm actually proba probably
not doing an after party cuz I think like there's someone pacing outside this
conference room I think I told them I was going to be done at 6 and it is now
6:05 so I think that's pretty much it
for the show today guys thank you all so much for tuning in and we will see you
again next week same bat Time same bat Channel bye I will not be streaming the
internet at my place is just dumb and doesn't let me stream for whatever
reason so once we finally get the new office going and that super badass
apparently delayed internet connection I'll start my personal stream up then
again for people that wondering are you going to be streaming from the office
yeah oh okay I told you that before did you oh okay yeah you actually I had
already decided that I wanted to do it and then you suggested it this is why
this is why my life is so exciting I get to learn new things even when they're
not new okay let me roll the outro all
right no oh the outro
failed uh
um okay oh now the computer's freezing
