00:00:01.160 --> 00:00:08.639
welcome to one of the angriest Wan shows that you're ever likely to encounter

00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:13.440
between the blue screen of our streaming PC about 9 minutes ago when we were

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:20.439
suppos in a while which has not happened in a while and the fact that xplit

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:23.279
managed to completely forget everything

00:00:20.439 --> 00:00:29.439
and the fact that Chrome continues to be a giant steaming pile of garbage and the

00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:33.600
recently closed tab feature which used to just work work completely

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:38.680
automatically and be effortless now just seems to randomly totally not work and I

00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:42.440
would switch to Firefox but that's been a giant piece of garbage for the last

00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:46.719
six months or so as well I don't know what to do am I supposed to go back to

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:52.559
Internet Explorer like honestly it's still worse it's still worse and that's

00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:56.920
the sad thing that's the saddest part of all of this is that somehow they still

00:00:54.559 --> 00:01:04.320
manage to be worse when they're compet and our domun fell down

00:01:01.519 --> 00:01:09.320
and the whole background is ruined it's all ruined I

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:11.680

probably going to make that joke for you guys in spite of the fact that it's not

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:24.040
funny at all just to prevent people from

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:28.800

stormtrooper thank you Leia very helpful

and I'm even shorter than Mark Hill so it's like even worse so this is from

00:02:33.239 --> 00:02:42.720
original storm trooper.com it is a full set of stormtrooper

00:02:38.959 --> 00:02:46.200
armor okay so there's a oh holy cow wow

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:48.400
and it's signed by Andrew answorth who

00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:52.360
designed the original A New Hope Stormtrooper helmets and armor and all

00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:56.000
that cool stuff or at least the helmets okay I might be I might be a little bit

00:02:54.159 --> 00:03:00.720
I might be a little bit not quite up on my history so they include a catalog uh

00:02:58.760 --> 00:03:04.120
that includes the hero trooper helmet the standard we got we've got some

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:08.680
Fallen going okay hold on hold on don't worry it's it's armor so we couldn't

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:11.799
break it that hardcore um scratched yeah I don't want it to get scratched either

00:03:09.959 --> 00:03:15.560
okay okay hold on so anyway they've got like um Imperial pilot helmets they've

00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:22.280
got Stormtrooper helmets they have Darth Vader helmets and busts and they have

00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:24.799
full sets of completely wearable

00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:28.920
authentic armor so I don't know if it's all in this box or if it's not but at

00:03:27.239 --> 00:03:36.120
any rate we're going to do a bit of a live unboxing here and holy crap okay

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:37.879
there's another box this size and I have

00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:43.239
no idea how any of this is going to work so this looks like is this the helmet th

00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:47.920
armor that's probably the helmet this looks like th armor so we got oh no hold

00:03:45.959 --> 00:03:52.480
on this will be Shin that'll be that'll be Shin so there's one of the

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:59.040
legs just like that oh I'm so stop

00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:00.959
what uh I think that's the bust so that

00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:08.239
we can uh so we can display him in the back of the land show set okay they also

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:14.840
include this is like the best day ever all the anger is completely gone so they

00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:17.479
also include a black uh like bodysuit

00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:20.959
thing so that in the gaps in the armor you don't just see like your jeans or

00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:27.600
whatever so that zips up okay styling they include whatever

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:33.280
this is the best okay they don't have

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:37.960
official shoes so they just have like some recommended models and they're not

00:04:35.320 --> 00:04:42.800
available in every size so this is just like this is just like you know boots

00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:47.160
and they're like two and a half sizes too big for me but at least I'll have no

00:04:45.039 --> 00:04:56.320
way guess what this model of shoe is called what guess the Stormtrooper pimp

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:59.120
50 wow right inside not even

00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:03.880
kidding so that's not it's not from original Stormtrooper do oh wow okay

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:12.160
okay so this holy crap E1 Blaster individually

00:05:08.919 --> 00:05:14.240
numbered signed by Andrew answorth

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:19.120
certificate of authenticity all that good stuff it comes with holy crap it

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:24.160
comes with everything look at that individually

00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.160
numbered here as

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:32.000
well wow and it comes with a little display stand yeah holy crap I wish we

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:38.160
got two sorry

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.600
dude epic um so to be clear guys they

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:46.960
sent this to us they're extremely expensive and while I had been eyeing

00:05:43.080 --> 00:05:49.440
their stuff literally for years I had

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:55.440
never really gotten together the funds to actually to to order it um but they

00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:59.120
reached out to us about sending us a unit and in exchange we all we have to

00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:03.600
do is show you guys like how to put it on and stuff so here's a neck thing so

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:09.440
that you don't see your neck through the gap between the helmet and the armor

00:06:06.440 --> 00:06:12.039
this is presumably a holster for the

00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:18.080
Blaster okay let's keep going here if you guys are bored you can let me know

00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:21.960
on uh on Twitch apparently no one no one

00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:24.160
cares no one's bored I mean okay so this

00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:29.039
looks like shoulders okay so there's like velcro

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:32.520
pieces here I don't want anything to get scratched so I'm going to leave it all

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.759
on the baggies for now you should put the helmet on let's get the helmet going

00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:41.120
on here I'm not going to make you guys sit through all the different pieces of

00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:47.560
armor but maybe the chest plate uh Brandon was that everything

00:06:43.440 --> 00:06:50.080
that was in this box no this other stuff

00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.080
holy

00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:59.879
crap okay so that's the stand

00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:04.879
and yeah that's the bus that the that

00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:07.599
he's going to live on yes okay so there

00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:14.000
you have it guys

00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.000
here there's a chest

00:07:14.919 --> 00:07:21.919
plate fantas oh oh oh look at that okay

00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:30.120
so that's the uh the tinted lenses which I guess I'll leave off for now so I

00:07:24.280 --> 00:07:30.120
don't know oh it's signed inside a

00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:39.400
Luke I am your father wait I think I got that wrong what yeah yeah no I'm just

00:07:37.039 --> 00:07:42.319
I'm kidding so there we have it guys obviously I'll have to do some playing

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:46.599
around with it in terms of size cuz they're a little bit bigger than a

00:07:43.919 --> 00:07:50.960
normal person's head can I put it on I'm sorry can I put it on yeah absolutely

00:07:48.159 --> 00:07:56.080

don't worry you got this uh should fit

00:07:59.080 --> 00:08:05.919
yeah there you go I didn't want to break it no one wants you to break it there we

00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:07.919
go that's epic it is kind of massive

00:08:05.919 --> 00:08:12.000
yeah it's like huge inside so you got to picture that with like the proper lenses

00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:16.879
inside of course they go on the inside yeah I am like stoked so hard hard if

00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:23.199
you turn your head sideways it's super easy okay I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to put these in something safe oh

00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:28.520
you got okay okay okay that's

00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:34.000
awesome that's cool that it signed I know

00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:36.039
holy crap this will be like the best

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:39.120
headquarters statue ever the only thing better would be a life-size statue of

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:44.399
gay Ben that would be better but bronze yeah

00:08:43.560 --> 00:08:50.040
in bronze all right so there's the the

00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:54.839
front and back plate pieces I'm just going to put those over there now

00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:58.000
everything's all like scattered around

00:08:54.839 --> 00:09:02.320
oh yeah that crotch

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:02.320
protection right there belts right in

00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:07.279
here okay there's the butt

00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:14.360
protection not quite as robust as the crotch protection but that's fine the

00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:21.079
butt is less fragile than the crotch there's a tech tip for you and then

00:09:16.959 --> 00:09:21.079
we've got the uh y the utility

00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.800
belt whatever these are oh this is a

00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:35.560
little canister that goes at the back of whatever it is I never actually saw a

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:39.519
stormtrooper use one and there you have it guys okay

00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:45.800
let's just we can drop this back there oh no we can't no

00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:47.920
Brandon is there anything in this oh

00:09:45.800 --> 00:09:52.880
yeah oh are those gloves yeah yes than you yes yes they

00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:57.600
are sweet your knife is open oh thank

00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:05.160
you someone says they're bailing it's too boring don't worry the show is

00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:06.399
starting in like a couple seconds all

00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:10.839
right so the gloves aren't really anything that special they're rubber

00:10:08.160 --> 00:10:15.120
gloves with uh with armor on the back but as long as people don't look too

00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:18.320
closely at them they'll probably never notice I'll probably try to find

00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:22.160
something else these are just stuck on with velcro anyway so I can probably I

00:10:20.839 --> 00:10:27.920
mean yeah you're going to have to customize a little bit anyway but okay

00:10:24.760 --> 00:10:29.320
there we go we'll compromise I do the

00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:34.920
whole show with those in your hands they're pretty warm actually they're rubber gloves so all right guys we got a

00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:38.760
great show for you today I'm sorry for the oh there goes my water bottle I'm

00:10:37.040 --> 00:10:46.160
sorry for the interruption there at the beginning Oculus is being sued over

00:10:40.680 --> 00:10:49.440
their name by oculo the 290x the R9 29x

00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:52.920
a graphics card that by All rights

00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:55.760
really isn't that competitive price to

00:10:52.920 --> 00:11:00.480
performance at its original introduced price which was

00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:03.639
$549.99 has now reached a

00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:05.480
$900 price on new EG the most baffling

00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:10.880
thing about all of this is that this pricing is not even reflected in other

00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:19.639
markets outside of North America so more on that later um Google and foxcon have

00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:22.200
started to work closely more closer on

00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:27.480
robotic manufacturing techniques that will allow them to I don't know it looks

00:11:25.800 --> 00:11:34.560
like the objective is to get rid of inexpensive labor in their Chinese

00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:36.639
factories and as a as as another sort of

00:11:34.560 --> 00:11:41.079
benefit to this potentially move manufacturing back overseas to North

00:11:38.880 --> 00:11:44.920
America but then depending on where you place benefit depending on okay you know

00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:47.959
what we'll talk about that more in depth because I've okay I have a lot to say

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:53.079
about that one and finally what do you got uh well you you spilled a little bit

00:11:50.680 --> 00:11:58.040
into my section I did did three things I always spill your section there's also

00:11:55.639 --> 00:12:02.000
the Flappy Bird Insanity which is like the whole internet has something to say

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:06.519
about it and it's it's ridiculous and we'll talk about that later and that's

00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:16.559
about it it is so baffling to me that Flappy Bird matters at all like at all

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:41.399
our sponsor today is Squarespace guys squarespace.com

00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:47.040
Linus head on over there to check out the easy way to make yourself a

00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.880
beautiful functional website visit

00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:52.519
squarespace.com I think I just said that so yeah squarespace.com they're our

00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:57.480
sponsor for today thank you so much for making the W show possible on this

00:12:55.240 --> 00:13:01.279
Friday the 14th which is either lucky or unlucky

00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:03.600
depending on how lucky you're planning to be

00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:13.920
today all right so let's get going on our first topic here steam adds a

00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:19.199
recently updated feature to the storefront this is actually either going

00:13:16.760 --> 00:13:24.320
to be awesome this was posted by Esq on the Forum this is either going to be

00:13:20.839 --> 00:13:27.560
awesome or it's going to open things up

00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.680
to abuse what is your take on this I

00:13:27.560 --> 00:13:32.240
think uh it it's buried far enough down

00:13:30.680 --> 00:13:36.440
on the front page that I don't think it's going to be that bad and then if

00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:41.360
you decide to you can just completely ignore all parts of it except for the

00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:48.160
your games and software part in which I do actually think it

00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:50.600
could be good okay so here's here are a

00:13:48.160 --> 00:13:55.160
couple of problems I have let me let me go back to the earlier days of YouTube

00:13:53.160 --> 00:14:01.920
back when the homepage of youtube.com was not necessarily just

00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.759
video about Justin Bieber and it was it

00:14:01.920 --> 00:14:07.360
was kind of a mix like there was an actual section at the bottom for

00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:13.399
technology for example anyway I got homaged once

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:16.600
randomly on a video that honestly I didn't really think was anything special

00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:21.720
it was actually this is this is kind of funny okay so I'm bit of a tangent here

00:14:18.959 --> 00:14:27.839
it was actually uh like a Showcase Video for an ncpc special edition system that

00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:33.759
was based around a brand new AMD processor launch with an AMD graphics

00:14:30.560 --> 00:14:37.160
card at the time the system didn't sell

00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:40.399
a single unit it was the only system we

00:14:37.160 --> 00:14:42.079
ever released at NC that didn't sell a

00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:46.199
single unit and we actually had to disassemble the Prototype and then

00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:50.920
repurpose the parts okay so anyway that got featured

00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:56.759
on the front page of youtube.com as like one of the

00:14:53.560 --> 00:14:59.880
technology videos that video went from

00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:03.000
zero to a couple hundred thousand views

00:14:59.880 --> 00:15:06.199
overnight that is how powerful even the

00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:09.880
crappiest featured spot on the front of

00:15:06.199 --> 00:15:12.920
a hight trffic page like youtube.com or

00:15:09.880 --> 00:15:16.959
the front of the steam store can be and

00:15:12.920 --> 00:15:19.240
I think that people will try to game the

00:15:16.959 --> 00:15:23.680
system developers will try to game the system in order to get featured in that

00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:27.079
spot I'm sure that they will I'm sure that certain Ones Will especially and I

00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:31.480
worry about some things where it's like game updates and things are still in

00:15:29.160 --> 00:15:34.560
Early Access Y where it's going to be like update update update update update

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:39.240
update update update because Early Access is such a big thing now yes and

00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:43.279
when when you're in Early Access you're not too worried about if things are

00:15:40.920 --> 00:15:48.040
unstable and like catering to your current audience more what you're doing

00:15:45.199 --> 00:15:52.279
is oh my god let's produce the game so release tons of updates um and in other

00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:55.959
situations and especially if you're in Early Access you're probably trying to

00:15:53.880 --> 00:15:59.279
get funding and crowdfunding and early purchases is such a big thing now that

00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:07.319
people are going to jump on that like crazy um I do still like the your games and

00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:11.600
software side though yes but if you were a small Dev would you release daily

00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:17.399
updates to your game like and tweak a texture here or there to get featured in

00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:21.000
that recently updated list um I me I'd

00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:22.519
like to say no but probably yes because

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:27.600
there's so many things that people are bundling into really big updates to not

00:16:24.839 --> 00:16:30.279
annoy people with tons of little updates because they're working on things very

00:16:29.040 --> 00:16:35.639
actively and some things don't take that long some things take a really long time some things don't take that long so if

00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:41.199
you can instead plug people with updates all the time yeah but have like that

00:16:39.079 --> 00:16:44.399
naturalized um advertisement of being on the front page all the time that could

00:16:42.319 --> 00:16:48.759
help a lot I mean what Tom buo valve says is the more options developers have

00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:52.319
for communicating about their products the better it is for everyone with this

00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:55.040
new product section and corresponding developer tools customers can more

00:16:53.680 --> 00:17:01.440
easily discover products that provide ongoing value and involvement from the developers and I agree more two-way

00:16:58.920 --> 00:17:08.199
communication between developers and customers is definitely good as long as

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:10.919
that communication is somehow positive I

00:17:08.199 --> 00:17:14.720
oh wow I feel really terrible for this but I forget whose video it was uh

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:18.160
Batman someone sent someone tweeted to me I'm going to try and find this in a

00:17:16.360 --> 00:17:23.480
moment here but someone tweeted to me a video about Batman Arkham Origins where

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:29.039
basically they just came out and said yeah there are game-breaking bugs that

00:17:25.679 --> 00:17:30.840
cause like save games to be lost but

00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:35.320
we're not fixing them but we're hard at work on the

00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:39.480
DLC and I was like really I'm gonna try I'm gonna try and find that while you

00:17:36.600 --> 00:17:43.039
move on to the next topic but um oh the other thing steam added that actually

00:17:40.919 --> 00:17:47.280
isn't in the dock that I'm more excited about than this is the new tagging

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:52.360
system uh did you see that have you heard about this uh yeah I think it was

00:17:49.080 --> 00:17:55.240
just somewhere else is it in the dock no

00:17:52.360 --> 00:17:59.200
I guess it's not fled anyway so steam's added a new tagging system that will

00:17:57.159 --> 00:18:03.880
allow people to add tags to G games in much the same way that they would add

00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:07.440
them to things like Forum threads or any

00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:10.760
other tagging based service obviously if

00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:13.120
you and your you know brother are like

00:18:10.760 --> 00:18:16.480
let's put penis on that one that's not going to work it's not going to show up

00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:20.320
it has to be something that it gets tagged with over and over and over again

00:18:18.840 --> 00:18:24.799
in order to become an official tag for the product but I personally think that's fantastic because this is

00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:29.159
something we were complaining about only a few weeks ago because I was sitting

00:18:27.120 --> 00:18:34.039
there in bed trying out valve in home streaming and I was like I want to play

00:18:31.360 --> 00:18:39.840
a game with my wife I got a couple controllers I got a computer what do you

00:18:37.520 --> 00:18:43.320
got Steam and the answer was who the heck knows oh and even I I would even

00:18:42.120 --> 00:18:47.600
like it if you could do it in your own Library so like I don't know if this

00:18:45.679 --> 00:18:52.159
works but if the search for that applies to your own Library so you could be like

00:18:49.600 --> 00:18:55.919
okay Co-op and then it does a search through your own library for those tags

00:18:53.840 --> 00:18:59.159
that are on the store I hope it's in both sections cuz that would be awesome

00:18:57.520 --> 00:19:03.240
so basically you're so ball that you have so many games that you need to

00:19:00.679 --> 00:19:07.039
catalog them I'm just no like bundles I know it's mostly like Bund you spend

00:19:05.159 --> 00:19:11.760
like four bucks and you get 18 billion games like everyone's steam library has

00:19:09.280 --> 00:19:16.120
just exploded over the last year or two I'm just trolling You Insanity bundles

00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:21.320
just like every day what oh no I thought that shirt was

00:19:19.280 --> 00:19:26.679
like an everyday I'm shuffling shirt and I was like what I thought I was the only

00:19:24.360 --> 00:19:30.679
one tasteless enough to wear that all right do you want to move on to

00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:36.480
the next topic while I find the Batman so so valve wins and there will be no

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.760
selling of digitally used games so this

00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:41.679
wasn't Germany but it's probably going to spill over everywhere the Federation

00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:44.640
of German consumer organizations also known as

00:19:45.320 --> 00:19:53.240
verin band don't worry about it um and VZ bz

00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:57.400
for short was versus vve and they were saying that there was a uh where is it

00:19:55.400 --> 00:20:02.120
European Union decision from 2012 that the states uh

00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:07.000
that states that companies cannot stop consumers from selling their digital

00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:08.960
products um but valve has been able to

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:14.120
kind of get around that they are not in that cupation and we expect things like

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:17.799
origin and up playay to have the same

00:20:14.120 --> 00:20:19.039
exemption status um some people freaked

00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:25.440
out about this but I was actually surprised I expected The Gaming Community to explode like The Gaming

00:20:22.679 --> 00:20:28.799
Community always does um but as far as I can tell no one really cares I think

00:20:27.280 --> 00:20:32.640
that's probably tied into the fact that steam cells are so ridiculous that

00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:37.039
there's almost no point in ever selling a game because you'll get 50 cents for

00:20:34.600 --> 00:20:40.840
it um and it's just really not a big deal uh but yeah I expected more of a

00:20:39.360 --> 00:20:44.799
backlash from this one thing that I worry about is when you go buy a game in

00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:49.440
the store now if you buy a physical copy of a game half the time it's a disc but

00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:53.640
then the disc just has a steam key or a up playay key or An Origin key actually

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:58.640
pretty much always it's one of those situations and even if you install the

00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:03.280
game it's just like okay it's installed now attach it to one of those accounts

00:21:00.320 --> 00:21:07.480
so that you can actually play which does that mean that that applies to physical

00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:10.640
games as well you can't sell them yes because that's attached to that service

00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:16.320
and that service you can't sell things on so it's interesting I also wonder

00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:20.720
about double standard issues where they freak out if with DRM issues there's

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:24.240
always on DRM all over the place and they'll shut down servers and they don't

00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:28.000
care if your game has zero value anymore after buying it even at full price a

00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:31.600
year or two later that doesn't matter you're just a consumer shut up go away

00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:36.120
this isn't a normal product but then if you want to resell it it's it's it's

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:41.679
it's it depends on what side of the battle you're on and right now it's always on their side which is I'm not

00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:45.799
too stoked about that one thing I'm happy about and I wasn't really listening to what you were saying

00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:49.679
because I was looking this up sorry um so I apologize if I'm repeating myself

00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:55.760
but one thing that I'm happy about is that valve at the very least has already

00:21:52.159 --> 00:21:59.080
announced Family Sharing yes so now it's

00:21:55.760 --> 00:22:00.360
kind of too late the the cat out of the

00:21:59.080 --> 00:22:04.840
which means that if valve's going to offer Family Sharing which would allow

00:22:02.159 --> 00:22:09.960
at least people within the same house to share a game

00:22:07.120 --> 00:22:13.679
then someone's going to have to sort of figure out that okay steam's really

00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:18.120
competitive okay maybe we'll do that on Origin okay maybe we'll do it on up play

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:24.799
and I suspect we'll move towards that as an industry standard however you know

00:22:20.919 --> 00:22:26.480
the inability to resell games is a huge

00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:31.880
concern for me because and and I think for a lot of people because for frequ

00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:37.320
upgraders for hobbyists think about yourself as a hobbyist or Enthusiast I

00:22:34.760 --> 00:22:42.600
think that it's wrong to say that anyone who's an Enthusiast spends a ton of

00:22:39.679 --> 00:22:46.600
money maybe you spend a ton of money but you find smarter ways to spend your

00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:49.760
money so for example when I was in high school and I didn't have a lot of money

00:22:48.360 --> 00:22:53.840
I didn't have a full-time job I was going to school I was like lifeguarding

00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:59.360
one or two shifts on the weekends and that was all the spending money I had I

00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:02.559
still had a Ballin computer and the way

00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:05.039
that I did that was by spending smart so

00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:11.279
I would go on the used forums and I would buy like the next one down and

00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:16.720
then I would acquire that so I'd put my like my $200 down and that was tied up

00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:20.600
it was in my computer and then what I would do is I would make sure I was

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:24.159
keeping up on the news and as soon as I started to see rumors of something

00:23:22.760 --> 00:23:29.240
coming that would make that product irrelevant I'd flip it quickly so I'd go

00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:34.640
okay uh I'm going to even though it's still kind of worth 200 I'm going to

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:37.279
flip it for you know 175 or 180 make

00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:42.760
sure that I move it quickly then I would take that cash and I would put my 180

00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:48.400
that I recovered from that original card I'd pitch in maybe another $100 so I'm

00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:50.679
spending $120 over what I spent six

00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:54.039
months ago and I would get myself a higher tier of card this time and I was

00:23:52.840 --> 00:23:58.279
able to gradually build up my PC to be really

00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:02.600
awesome and then I was able to keep it up up to date by churning through

00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:07.520
Hardware by flipping it for sometimes more than what I paid if you're a really

00:24:04.600 --> 00:24:12.440
really Savvy Shopper this eliminates that it turns enthusiasts into a

00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:17.200
perceived wallet rather than people who can be enthusiastic about something

00:24:15.120 --> 00:24:21.600
rather instead of just spending money on it there the difference between spending

00:24:19.120 --> 00:24:26.880
a bunch of money and being an Enthusiast and this takes the Enthusiast option The

00:24:24.080 --> 00:24:31.159
Savvy Enthusiast option away and turns us all into people who just have to

00:24:28.600 --> 00:24:34.240
spend a lot of money not everyone has a ton of money and you can make the

00:24:32.760 --> 00:24:39.919
argument and we've talked about this before well just don't buy games at

00:24:37.120 --> 00:24:46.240
release you can just not buy games at release you can just say look EA Ubisoft

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:49.960
valve for that matter I'm not going to spend $60 on your game I can wait two

00:24:48.679 --> 00:24:56.120
weeks because you're going to drop the price to $40 anyway or with ESO when it

00:24:52.760 --> 00:24:58.799
goes free to play and that is an option

00:24:56.120 --> 00:25:03.840
but unfortunately when you think about enthusiasts that's not how they are you

00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:08.799
want to be there in the thick of things you want to be experiencing all the

00:25:07.159 --> 00:25:13.240
different areas and talking about it with your friends cuz they're all doing

00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:17.600
that at the same time and this locks those people in and extracts more cash

00:25:16.120 --> 00:25:22.600
from them and it makes me extremely unhappy I also find it weird where like

00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:27.080
uh you'd think if you lose all these freedoms by having a digital copy of

00:25:24.679 --> 00:25:32.640
something you would gain something and the most obvious thing to gain from this

00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:35.960
situation would be cost savings a digital copy of something should be

00:25:34.159 --> 00:25:40.679
drastically cheaper than a physical copy you would think that they don't have to

00:25:37.399 --> 00:25:42.320
ship it they don't have to print it and

00:25:40.679 --> 00:25:46.320
and something a lot of people don't think about is that there's a lot more

00:25:44.320 --> 00:25:51.080
to it than shipping there's the person to actually put it on the Shelf I mean

00:25:48.679 --> 00:25:56.320
there's the space do you have any idea how much retail space costs to lease so

00:25:54.120 --> 00:26:01.760
there's that then there's storage because space adds up over time when you

00:25:59.080 --> 00:26:06.120
have a pallet of something sitting in the back of a Best Buy do you have any

00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:10.840
idea how much that costs to keep there for a month if it's not selling Well

00:26:08.159 --> 00:26:14.440
Physical media has so much more risk involved in it and so much more cost

00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:19.360
involved the fact that we're paying the same for digital media is Criminal I was

00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:22.760
actually I noticed this uh i' never had a Kindle before I just uploaded my

00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:28.399
Kindle review last night my first one ever and I noticed that Amazon's

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:31.399
generous lend to a friend program allows

00:26:28.399 --> 00:26:35.520
you to lend every ebook you buy once for

00:26:31.399 --> 00:26:37.840
a period of 14 days are you kidding me I

00:26:35.520 --> 00:26:42.480
bought story of Ice and Fire or whatever it is the Game of Thrones books as a

00:26:40.159 --> 00:26:47.320
single ebook 14

00:26:44.760 --> 00:26:52.559
days there's no way it's going to happen impossible I think it would actually

00:26:49.520 --> 00:26:54.720
take longer than 14 days of back to back

00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:59.919
reading to okay probably not no but if you have a full-time job it's not

00:26:56.520 --> 00:27:02.320
feasible and that is really

00:26:59.919 --> 00:27:06.399
frustrating apparently I'm way too into this I'm sorry twitch chat but it does

00:27:04.320 --> 00:27:12.279
it does kind of amped up right now it do kind of get me going he's just amped up

00:27:08.080 --> 00:27:13.799
he's excited for later uh you just said

00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:18.799
yeah sorry you said get me going I had to it's Valentine's Day I can be excited

00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:21.960
for later all I want I I know um yeah it

00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:23.840
it's it's ridiculous I yeah so here's

00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:29.080
where we're heading guys here's a little bit of insight this won't last forever

00:27:26.520 --> 00:27:35.279
because people will be upset and competition is still on our side there

00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:37.559
are still competing entities nobody has

00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:42.480
a monopoly on all of this and thank goodness for that it's damn close though

00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:48.480
I know but what will happen eventually is this model will go away and it will

00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:51.360
be replaced by a model that we didn't

00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:58.480
really like and everyone was pissed about but we've started to accept and

00:27:55.159 --> 00:28:01.200
that is the subscription model

00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:05.039
is getting away with it how long is it Go Amazon has their lending program for

00:28:04.080 --> 00:28:11.000
Prime members okay how long is it going to be

00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:16.080
before gamers are just forced to suck it up when the news about services like on

00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:21.600
live so that's on demand streaming based gaming Services first started to surface

00:28:18.360 --> 00:28:23.799
we all got so mad because compared to

00:28:21.600 --> 00:28:28.760
what we had at the time which was physical copies that we basically owned

00:28:26.760 --> 00:28:34.080
especially before per always on DRM came about we basically

00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:39.240
owned them compared to that we were looking at this going are you freaking

00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:41.000
kidding me but over time subscription

00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:45.399
based individual games with the justification of server upkeep like

00:28:42.760 --> 00:28:50.559
World of Warcraft have been successful uh other subscription Based Services

00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:52.880
have been successful they've eroded our

00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:57.360
rights with respect to the software that we lease from them really that we

00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:03.480
thought we owned but actually we're leasing from them to the point where

00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:06.600
that will become the more attractive

00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.720
alternative compared to there's there's

00:29:06.600 --> 00:29:12.919
buying digital games that you don't have any rights for there's some uh back and

00:29:10.600 --> 00:29:17.519
forth with that I don't mind individual games when they have subscription if

00:29:15.320 --> 00:29:22.360
there's enough justif justification for it E online exists for a reason yes E

00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:27.080
online has existed for a very long time at a subscription fee because they dump

00:29:24.159 --> 00:29:30.440
out so much stuff all the time that it kind of makes sense you get all the

00:29:28.159 --> 00:29:34.200
expansions for free because you're paying for them you're pay you're paying

00:29:32.080 --> 00:29:38.000
$15 a month you're paying for them the wow model is difficult because you buy

00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:43.799
the game up front and then you pay for all the expansions and then you pay for the subscription and then you pay for

00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:49.720
in-game gold and you pay for I mean you don't do that no you can do that Eve

00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:53.159
kind of you buy you buy these like you buy these time codes and you can sell

00:29:51.080 --> 00:29:57.440
them in game like officially it's a real thing uh it's done through the eve

00:29:55.159 --> 00:30:00.760
website I love this fony fony scheme says I'm switching to board games

00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:04.559
exclusively they're going to turn those digital too so yeah don't imagine you're

00:30:03.320 --> 00:30:10.399
don't imagine that you're going to be free from uh actually at uh at CES Intel

00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:15.200
was showing off a large TBL siiz tablet perfect for playing Monopoly yeah so

00:30:12.679 --> 00:30:20.000
you're screwed either way sorry go ahead uh but I think it's it's probably coming

00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:25.760
but I I wouldn't be surprised if if it does show up at some point if they do

00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:29.399
themed stuff because there's so many

00:30:25.760 --> 00:30:31.880
games yeah so it I I could easily see it

00:30:29.399 --> 00:30:34.760
being like I'm an RPG subscriber that's an interesting thought and that's

00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:38.360
probably the direction it's going you wouldn't just be a steam subscriber cuz

00:30:36.840 --> 00:30:44.399
that's way too big or you could but that would be insanely expensive right they'll probably have like the $200 or

00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:49.120
$300 a month ultimate bundle and you can play anything on all of steam and

00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:53.480
that'll probably exist but otherwise it's probably like or you can be like

00:30:50.760 --> 00:30:58.039
the week late one or or or it's a subscriber thing but your your

00:30:56.120 --> 00:31:00.880
subscriber thing you get the games late there's going to be or if you pay

00:30:59.159 --> 00:31:04.120
individually you get them on day of there's going to be so many ways for

00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:08.240
them to squeeze an extra three or four dollars out of us

00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:11.799
yeah like it's it's going to be brutal because Netflix is a completely

00:31:09.919 --> 00:31:15.880
different realm when when you get like games and the library that is steam

00:31:13.840 --> 00:31:20.519
which with green light and everything is just all the time so you'll be looking

00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:26.519
at 50 bucks a month for a basic subscription 60 to FPS let's say for

00:31:23.360 --> 00:31:30.679
example $60 a month includes all the DLC

00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:33.639
for those FPS and $70 a month gives you

00:31:30.679 --> 00:31:39.159
a premium download service and access to better servers and includes a membership

00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:42.600
in like a TeamSpeak server and $80 a month and there's and it's going to go

00:31:40.399 --> 00:31:46.679
on and on and on and on it almost makes more sense because you don't own any of

00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:50.679
that anyways considering you're leasing all of it anyways yep so now you're just

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:55.679
on a monthly lease instead of a Perma lease it's like yeah someone says we can

00:31:53.600 --> 00:32:02.279
stop that from happening just don't pay it and I wish that was true there are so

00:31:58.840 --> 00:32:05.480
many things that I wish were true why

00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:08.840
didn't we stop Xbox Live

00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:10.639
Gold why did we pay for that I certainly

00:32:08.840 --> 00:32:16.120
didn't I never gave them a penny for an Xbox Live gold membership but enough

00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:18.600
people did that that is now something

00:32:16.120 --> 00:32:22.760
that we accept and Sony's doing it as well and it has become industry standard

00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:26.760
when did it become industry standard to pay for Game servers and why do we

00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:33.039
accept this it was never industry standard before when did we give them

00:32:29.639 --> 00:32:35.480
the option to take away the ability for

00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:41.159
us to host our own game servers why is it that you can still play Team Fortress

00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:43.679
1 and original Counterstrike because

00:32:41.159 --> 00:32:47.159
valve cared or maybe they just don't care anymore at this point whatever

00:32:45.080 --> 00:32:50.360
whatever the case may be they gave us the option whereas you look at what was

00:32:48.760 --> 00:32:53.360
that stupid game that got pulled off of Steam not that long ago I don't even

00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:57.279
remember the name yeah I don't remember the name but any was some flying game

00:32:55.240 --> 00:33:01.000
and the point is that it got shut down and the server don't exist anymore the

00:32:58.919 --> 00:33:06.000
game doesn't exist for paying customers because we allowed our I mean at the

00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:10.039
time we considered them right so I guess we allowed our rights to be eroded and

00:33:08.399 --> 00:33:13.840
we just accepted it and we kept giving them our money and I always get ragged

00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:18.120
on for my love of physical copies of things but I honestly think that's part

00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:21.519
of it I've always liked a physical copy of something because even though a lot

00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:26.559
of them now are literally just ports for steam keys I feel like I actually own

00:33:24.080 --> 00:33:31.679
something we've let ownership completely disappear

00:33:28.080 --> 00:33:33.279
which I don't like at all I mean unless

00:33:31.679 --> 00:33:36.559
it's like slavery you shouldn't own people well I'm not trying to own people

00:33:35.360 --> 00:33:45.480
though I'm trying to own that you're not trying to own people what kind of gamer are you yes man you had that set up a

00:33:41.919 --> 00:33:48.159
really long time before that okay yeah

00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:52.120
um I'm sorry uh yeah seriously though like do

00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:56.720
you want to hear me rant for another 10 minutes or should we move on to something else uh let's skip that one

00:33:55.240 --> 00:34:03.519
for now we into this weird and one of my

00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:07.000
videos going up this weekend oh man you

00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:10.440
guys prepare yourselves this product

00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:14.599
this manufacturer this product anyway he

00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:16.919
just anyway okay um posted by beibs sco

00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:23.879
on the Forum Google Voice search just got a lot smarter hit it me oh come on

00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:27.520
me well I'm thirsty so you're going to have to do it while I go get a drink

00:34:25.560 --> 00:34:31.599
okay I talked too much apparently now they have a field where you can put in

00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:35.399
your relationship with that contact so you can be like this is my uncle or this

00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:39.639
is my mom or this is my dad or whatever you want to do okay I have to rant for a

00:34:37.200 --> 00:34:42.960
second and yet they still haven't figured out that you might want to put

00:34:41.200 --> 00:34:47.800
multiple contacts and tie them all to the same number if anyone from Google's

00:34:44.839 --> 00:34:51.359
watching why can't I put my grandpa Archie and my Grandma Donna both in my

00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:56.079
address book and just have the same number for both of them so that I don't have to think about it so I don't have

00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:59.480
to remember did I put them under Grandma and Grandpa did I put them under AR and

00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:05.040
Don and I put them under Donna and Archie why do I have to remember that

00:35:01.839 --> 00:35:06.440
crap I'm getting a drink okay so you

00:35:05.040 --> 00:35:10.800
yeah you can attach these labels essentially to different people which is

00:35:08.040 --> 00:35:16.560
their their relationship status with you um so cool you can say call Dad or you

00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:19.480
can say Call mom um the not to mention

00:35:16.560 --> 00:35:28.079
not to mention that Android's voice calling is ridiculous on iOS I can just

00:35:23.520 --> 00:35:32.119
say call wife mobile and it says calling

00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:35.320
wife mobile and it rings on Android it's

00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:38.040
like call wife mobile it's like calling

00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:43.240
wife do you want to dial and she's got like four numbers and then it's like

00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:48.839
okay that one and it takes forever to get through this option it's like do you

00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:50.680
want yes yes I do why does it take so

00:35:48.839 --> 00:35:55.920
long okay it's like they want me to use my phone when I'm driving it's like

00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:58.280
Google wants to kill us speaking of uh

00:35:55.920 --> 00:36:01.640
Apple products actually because I don't normally do that CU I don't normally

00:35:59.720 --> 00:36:06.520
like them in this case they actually definitely had the oneup so with with

00:36:04.560 --> 00:36:10.319
apple there's a tapped add custom label and you can add whatever the heck you

00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:14.280
want so you could be mom or whatever and then if you say Call mom and it doesn't

00:36:12.560 --> 00:36:18.240
know your mom's number say you haven't added that custom label if you say Call

00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:21.240
mom It'll ask you what is your mom's name and then if you tell it your mom's

00:36:19.640 --> 00:36:26.240
name it'll find that person in your contact list add that custom field for

00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:31.960
you and then call them G G I don't even know why this is a

00:36:29.720 --> 00:36:35.640
news article lonus put it in here so I filled it out with everything that's on

00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:38.720
there um I guess he put it in here so he could rant about the things that he

00:36:36.640 --> 00:36:43.920
doesn't like that already exist that don't necessarily pertain to

00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:48.400
this I don't know this was linked like he said by be

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:56.800
kadoo on the Forum let's see where the source is from just none of my cares about is

00:36:52.839 --> 00:36:58.560
linked uh it's from The Verge I just and

00:36:56.800 --> 00:37:04.960
like honestly I know not everyone does this but my dad in my phone is just Dad

00:37:03.079 --> 00:37:09.560
and then his full name after that his first name is his middle name and then

00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:12.560
his last name is our last name why do we have to use workarounds that's what I

00:37:11.240 --> 00:37:16.160
want to know well I was just talking about how

00:37:14.560 --> 00:37:20.839
like sweating series thing Does It Better anyways oh yeah yeah do you know

00:37:19.240 --> 00:37:25.280
about the if you say Call mom It'll ask you who your mom is then you just tell it who your mom is and then it adds a

00:37:23.720 --> 00:37:29.319
custom field that they're your mom and then they just calls them some days I'm

00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:35.280
tempted to go back to Apple I'm still not but I'm just not impressed by

00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:36.880
that like cool okay it's there but at

00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:40.920
least they're improving I just don't see how it's a news item so I think it's

00:37:39.319 --> 00:37:46.760
come down to which thing you want to fight about next really oh you know what no I'm not

00:37:45.200 --> 00:37:52.800
that angry about the Oculus thing I'll let you be angry about that I'm actually

00:37:48.319 --> 00:37:56.160
not super there's there's reason okay so

00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:58.040
what oh the page you're looking for

00:37:56.160 --> 00:38:03.920
cannot be found well let's try it again Linus Tech tips Oculus if it worked on

00:38:01.040 --> 00:38:10.079
mine that's weird that's weird one of the problems

00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:14.280

blah blah blah they're they're video video embedding and video streaming

00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:55.800
Solutions so essentially instead of just embedding YouTube videos on your website

00:38:52.920 --> 00:39:01.720
you could embed your own videos fairly easily on your website with metrics and

00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:04.040
proper SEO and all that kind of stuff um

00:39:01.720 --> 00:39:09.640
and their name is oculu spelled exactly the same as Oculus without the final s

00:39:06.680 --> 00:39:13.760
and they are mad because it's spelled exactly the same as Oculus without the

00:39:11.240 --> 00:39:18.480
final s and they exist they existed before Oculus um a quote from Palmer

00:39:16.200 --> 00:39:24.040
lucky luky I can't remember exactly how you say his last name um said

00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:26.160
unfortunately he

00:39:26.160 --> 00:39:32.119
decided the they didn't just decide to put an S on the end of oculu is

00:39:30.319 --> 00:39:37.480
essentially what he's trying to say that was never their plan what they're trying

00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:38.960
to say is Oculus the Latin word for an i

00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:42.560
they had they weren't they weren't adding an S to some other company's

00:39:40.560 --> 00:39:46.760
final name the problem is that it doesn't really matter you're still one

00:39:44.240 --> 00:39:49.160
letter off of another company's name and it's the company's not even in a

00:39:48.160 --> 00:39:54.480
competing industry their fight for that is that

00:39:51.839 --> 00:39:59.240
they could be they could be because but they aren't I know but they're defining

00:39:56.720 --> 00:40:05.680
what they do it's it's definition is I'm not on their side I'm just playing from

00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:08.079
their angry so yes so am I um their

00:40:05.680 --> 00:40:11.599
whole thing is they're video streaming they're not trying to be like we do

00:40:09.359 --> 00:40:15.160
exactly these things because what what if they spread out from what they're

00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:19.400
doing so they are video streaming and what they're saying is Oculus could very

00:40:17.240 --> 00:40:22.800
easily on their road map have video streaming because what if you start

00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:28.359
watching videos or certain experiences that come from Oculus servers Oculus is

00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:30.400
getting into game development and media

00:40:28.359 --> 00:40:36.520
so they're say eventually their roads could cross so take of it now because

00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:39.599
it's a one off name for companies that

00:40:36.520 --> 00:40:41.880
could cross each other

00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:46.440
I I still think it's completely ridiculous because if I hear ULU yeah

00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:50.040
they don't sound alike it doesn't sound different if it was

00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:54.400
Ula like that's actually a pretty big difference it's really weird word Ula

00:40:52.880 --> 00:41:01.920
but if if if that was actually what it sounded like uh maybe I don't know

00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:05.359
um I just uh the one thing that was kind

00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:07.880
of funny is if you Google ULU the first

00:41:05.359 --> 00:41:12.760
result is Oculus that's probably not helping it's not

00:41:10.560 --> 00:41:16.119
helping it's not helping at all but I find it hilarious it's just cuz Google

00:41:14.520 --> 00:41:18.720
is auto correcting the last letter it doesn't know what it sounds like but

00:41:17.520 --> 00:41:22.560
right because no one's actually searching for Oculus sorry you're just

00:41:20.560 --> 00:41:26.640
not as popular as Oculus cuz you're not you know what the reality of it is

00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:29.560
they're not a small company I know a lot of fine

00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:32.319
I have to put I know but I have to put that out there because a lot of people

00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:38.440
have been saying that they're a small company they're not a small company they're just not a consumer facing

00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:40.480
company y um this is kind of like when

00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:44.800
people were baffled that tashiba bought ocz ocz's SSD business and they were

00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:49.800
like well tashiba doesn't have any presence in the SS oh yes they do have

00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:53.800
presents in the SSD space they're huge they just don't necessarily sell the

00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:57.839
consumers but many of your laptops very likely contain tashiba ssds with their

00:41:56.000 --> 00:42:04.480
toggle n they're an actual manufacturer anyway all that aside I don't think it's

00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:06.280
going to matter either Oculus is going

00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:13.400
to have to change their name or they're not and if they change their name does

00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:15.040
it matter are you not going to buy one

00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:19.000
because they changed their name it could hurt their

00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:24.960
trending maybe part of the problem is a lot of people think it's called an

00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:29.800
Oculus yeah that's true the Oculus name has been passed around more than the

00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:32.280
rift name that's true I even catch says

00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:36.920
buying a rift no because what's a rift I even catch myself very consistently

00:42:34.160 --> 00:42:40.520
saying I'm I'm I'm looking into an Oculus or whatever because they only

00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:44.599
have one product so a lot of people do that um which is going to be part of the

00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:48.680
problem if they have to change their name now knowing them they'll probably

00:42:46.640 --> 00:42:52.520
change it to something similar but not similar enough that someone can sue them

00:42:53.040 --> 00:43:00.640
baculus um I wonder if there's a Latin name for two fake of like the Che

00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.640
Chinese clone could be called a

00:43:03.079 --> 00:43:09.520
crocus and the one for investment bankers could be called the

00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:15.839
stulis and if you're making fun of the whole thing you could wear a

00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:18.880
mulus I'm sorry I'll stop yeah um I

00:43:15.839 --> 00:43:21.800
wonder if there's a different Latin word

00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:26.160
for eyes instead of I I don't think so because Oculus is an eye so hopefully

00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:31.000
they can I don't know hopefully they can find something that makes sense uh if

00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:34.680
they have to change their name but uh I fully expect them to fight it at this

00:43:32.520 --> 00:43:37.680
point um although it is unfortunate because you would hope that all that

00:43:36.200 --> 00:43:42.040
money that they just got that $75 million of investment that they very

00:43:39.319 --> 00:43:46.880
recently got would go towards making the consumer release instead of fighting

00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:52.920
someone for a freaking name I'm getting really tired of all the trademark stuff

00:43:49.319 --> 00:43:56.280
in the last little while candy and Saga

00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:58.599
it's like man and like Latin words and

00:43:56.280 --> 00:44:04.160
Latin words like that's that's that's one thing that sucks too is it's a word

00:44:00.839 --> 00:44:06.640
yeah whereas oculu isn't is not so it's

00:44:04.160 --> 00:44:13.200
like really really no you can't just make something that's like you can't say

00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:15.240
your your your word is bck be okay and

00:44:13.200 --> 00:44:20.000
they're like oh well your name can't be book right they don't sound the same

00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:24.559
they're one letter off right that doesn't make a lot of sense you should

00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:26.319
be Oculus as lawyer I should yeah that

00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:31.319
would be cool if I if they would let me see the release version yeah you should

00:44:29.200 --> 00:44:39.520
be like you should be like if someone else's name was luk which isn't a real

00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:39.520
name can I not be named

00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:47.000
Luke I mean objection consider Chewbacca

00:44:44.720 --> 00:44:53.760
he is a wook he lives on the planet kashik does this make

00:44:49.839 --> 00:44:55.319
sense okay so let's move on to the ISP

00:44:53.760 --> 00:45:01.359
disaster in the US wait uh

00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:09.200
Comcast to buy and this was posted by pit 5000 and pit 5000 is probably the

00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:12.200
place where all of the subscribers of

00:45:09.200 --> 00:45:14.559
Comcast or Time Warner Cable Services

00:45:12.200 --> 00:45:21.640
are thinking about throwing themselves because this is terrible a

00:45:17.520 --> 00:45:25.960
Comcast takeover of Time Warner Cable to

00:45:21.640 --> 00:45:28.520
would be I mean they're both evil enough

00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:36.200
as it is and it's already enough of a of of a of

00:45:32.319 --> 00:45:39.240
a you know backdoor colluding

00:45:36.200 --> 00:45:41.680
relationship going on between isps here

00:45:39.240 --> 00:45:47.319
in North America anyway in general without them actually

00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:54.160
merging there's and there's some things that just totally don't seem right so in

00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:56.079
a quote they say um it will not it will

00:45:54.160 --> 00:45:59.680
not reduce competition in any relevant Market because our compan IES do not

00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:04.119
overlap completely with each other in fact we do not operate in any of the

00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:09.200
same zip code when I read that even without doing any further research I was

00:46:06.680 --> 00:46:13.720
like wow that sounds impossible then reading on the thread on

00:46:11.319 --> 00:46:20.160
R Forum someone said the only services offered in my area are these two

00:46:17.520 --> 00:46:25.520
companies so like I haven't actually gone and looked at a coverage map but I

00:46:23.640 --> 00:46:29.200
I'm assuming that guy on the Forum isn't just lying for fun

00:46:27.720 --> 00:46:33.079
and it makes complete sense that they would both be offered in at least some

00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:37.680
type of overlap somewhere and saying that they do not operate in any of the

00:46:35.640 --> 00:46:41.880
same zip code sounds a little bit insane maybe someone in twitch chat can tell me

00:46:39.720 --> 00:46:45.400
that I'm wrong because I I haven't done deep research of this so I could

00:46:43.319 --> 00:46:49.040
definitely be wrong but like really I don't know that seems a little bit

00:46:46.520 --> 00:46:55.040
sketchy to me I mean was this kind of consolidation bound to happen I forget

00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:59.800
the ISP side of things let's talk about cable TV we're all the cable TV

00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:03.079
providers going to survive because I don't know about you but I sure as heck

00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:06.839
don't have a cable TV subscription I'm not planning to get one I will never

00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:11.599
ever need one ever again in my life I have never had one I think my parents

00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:15.559
had one for a not super large period of time when my grandpa was kind of staying

00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:20.160
with us for a while because he wanted to watch it other than that don't think we

00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:24.440
really had one um and then since I have moved out which was actually a fair

00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:29.400
amount of years ago I have never had one and I have never cared so we had someone

00:47:27.400 --> 00:47:34.119
say they don't directly compete and that's I mean that's another thing too

00:47:31.160 --> 00:47:41.319
is what do you mean don't directly compete I mean if you're in neighboring

00:47:38.359 --> 00:47:44.200
territories wouldn't it be beneficial to control them

00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:50.599
both I don't know they have so I thought they have

00:47:49.240 --> 00:47:55.800
yeah okay so someone says blah blah blah they have localized monopolies in all areas because of the

00:47:53.839 --> 00:48:01.400
infrastructure um someone says Time Warner Cable is is better than Comcast

00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:06.680
someone says uh my parents just cancel TV and use internet now someone says

00:48:04.160 --> 00:48:09.640
slick let me get that shirt I don't I'm not sure what that has to do with

00:48:07.720 --> 00:48:16.280
anything someone ask what racket I have I use an armortech 900 technique for you

00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:18.520
version with the um okay so local law

00:48:16.280 --> 00:48:24.559
this is stupid local laws do not allow more than one ISP in an area in most

00:48:21.240 --> 00:48:26.480
places in the states that's just plain

00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:33.680
stupid actually I didn't even know that cuz I'm Canadian we have crappy isps but at

00:48:31.040 --> 00:48:39.240
least we can choose which pile of poo we like or both we're

00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:40.240
both apparently we chose both yeah we

00:48:39.240 --> 00:48:45.319
chose both we want to give all of our money to

00:48:43.040 --> 00:48:49.160
all of them because I want we need to like cue dramatic music we have like a

00:48:47.160 --> 00:48:54.839
mixer now we just need like we need to get some tracks like they have on the

00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:59.119
radio you know like I want to live in a world where we can give our money to

00:48:56.440 --> 00:49:03.720
every free service provider monthly on the 1st and 15th of the month never

00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:10.040
missing a payment because missing a payment is not North American and I

00:49:07.160 --> 00:49:15.960
can't we want to pay for Netflix and games and cable TV because Netflix

00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:22.359
should never have sporting events on it instead I should have one service for

00:49:19.359 --> 00:49:24.680
live and one service for video on demand

00:49:22.359 --> 00:49:28.960
and another service for movies and YouTube I want to pay for that too

00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:33.480
eventually you'll just get this like combined check from like the the

00:49:31.319 --> 00:49:36.960
combined conglomerate that is all of the companies it'll be like this is your

00:49:35.200 --> 00:49:44.319
monthly check for content and entertainment bye-bye to half of your

00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:45.960
paycheck owned well it's like uh oh

00:49:44.319 --> 00:49:51.960
right the buy and large yeah the buy and large from Wall-E it all comes back to

00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:54.920
that at some point Costco Amazon and

00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:58.040
like Google are all just going to merge and then that'll be that well that was

00:49:56.480 --> 00:50:02.040
oh nope not going to go into that yet because we haven't argued and been pissed off about that yet so I'll talk

00:50:00.799 --> 00:50:06.920
about that later yeah we'll talk about that later all right what else we got

00:50:04.240 --> 00:50:10.599
here oh I uh Happy topic I'm sorry happy topic happy topic yeah uh is that yeah

00:50:09.480 --> 00:50:17.680
yeah that's the one I was going to so Timmy from Timmy tech TV one of our

00:50:13.799 --> 00:50:20.960
fellow YouTuber buddies here is doing a

00:50:17.680 --> 00:50:22.920
donation per subscriber to Cocoon House

00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:28.160
so up to $2500 Tim is going to donate 10 cents

00:50:26.079 --> 00:50:31.160
per sub subscriber so I already tweeted about this so you can find that in my

00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:37.880
Twitter feed if you want to know more about it but it's Timmy tech TV on L

00:50:35.200 --> 00:50:42.599
Twitter and uh there you go you guys can definitely check that out he makes Tech

00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:47.680
videos as well and let's move into our Squarespace

00:50:45.680 --> 00:50:52.440
thing so guys if you haven't already heard of Squarespace Squarespace and if

00:50:50.040 --> 00:50:55.559
you go to squarespace.com Linus then you can definitely give us credit when you

00:50:54.040 --> 00:50:59.920
go and check it out and try out a free subscription or free trial rather they

00:50:57.680 --> 00:51:03.960
give you two weeks to build up a little website for yourself and pretty it up

00:51:02.520 --> 00:51:07.440
and then decide if you like it it's a subscription based service speaking of

00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:10.839
subscription Based Services but at least this is one that makes sense because

00:51:08.839 --> 00:51:14.960
they do a lot of stuff for you in addition to giving you the tools to

00:51:12.720 --> 00:51:19.440
create a website that looks great and is functional whether it's on the desktop

00:51:16.799 --> 00:51:24.040
or on a mobile platform they will also cover the actual hosting fees for you

00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:28.319
and it's all dynamically adjustable so if you for whatever reason we're doing a

00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:32.839
live stream to almost 4,000 people and you were like guys why don't you all hit

00:51:30.359 --> 00:51:32.839
linusmediagroup

00:51:35.160 --> 00:51:41.880
docomo yeah we're good and it can dynamically adjust itself in a way that

00:51:39.920 --> 00:51:46.960
like a small web hosting server somewhere on a limited connection might

00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:51.280
not be able to handle uh Squarespace also has a new tool called logo which I

00:51:49.799 --> 00:51:55.079
think is pretty self-explanatory it's a very easy logo generator that allows you

00:51:53.200 --> 00:51:58.559
to make a little logo it has little Graphics that you can choose that are

00:51:56.599 --> 00:52:02.359
contributed by artists and you can make yourself a nice little business card

00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:06.839
it's not meant to replace professional artists but at least it's something for

00:52:04.319 --> 00:52:10.960
very small businesses or Charities or blogs or if you want to make a portfolio

00:52:09.079 --> 00:52:14.440
website it gives you something that you can put on there so that it looks more

00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:18.359
professional the last thing that I wanted to bring up that about

00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:23.200
Squarespace is they're doing a huge recruitment campaign so they're calling

00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:29.160
this be a part of it you go ahead and apply and uh so you can register to sort

00:52:26.400 --> 00:52:32.359
of of indicate your interest in a job and there's actually a bunch of really

00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:38.880
cool stuff about this program so number one is that they are giving a bounty to

00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:43.720
anyone who refers someone who eventually does get hired so I actually didn't copy

00:52:42.200 --> 00:52:50.839
all of my notes for this so this is going to be embarrassing when my Squarespace contact reads this oh that's

00:52:48.160 --> 00:52:54.839
funny oh I went to the wrong URL no I did go to one thing to know is by by the

00:52:53.359 --> 00:52:58.599
time the twitch stream caught up with you after you said that you could Point

00:52:56.880 --> 00:53:03.200
everyone to the website we did significantly increase the Ping but not

00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:07.440
Beyond reasonable levels and then it did fracture itself back down yeah I know

00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:10.799
you see it works anyway so when you interview at Squarespace so if you get

00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:14.960
called for an interview you and your spouse or partner get to CODA New York

00:53:13.359 --> 00:53:19.200
for the weekend which is kind of cool they're looking to hire 30 engineers and

00:53:16.680 --> 00:53:25.160
designers by March 15th so it's about a month uh you get to experience New York

00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:28.760
by working there and obviously during your weekend that they pay for you to

00:53:26.520 --> 00:53:32.240
become an interview uh they have grown from a single person startup to a

00:53:30.240 --> 00:53:35.799
Visionary technology company of over 250 this is part of their whole sort of

00:53:33.880 --> 00:53:38.839
pitch as to why you would want to work there they talk about their jobs how

00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:44.359
they're one of the best places to work and they've won awards for being the best place to work in 2012 and 2013

00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:49.280
that's kind of cool maybe I should apply and check this out refer a friend and

00:53:47.240 --> 00:53:53.160
fly to New York I guess that's that's what the Bounty is so there you go guys

00:53:51.200 --> 00:53:58.040
you should check that out it's be a part ofit. squarespace.com

00:53:56.520 --> 00:54:01.960
and then of course if you do decide that you just want to use the service and

00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:07.359
have a website then go ahead and head over to squarespace.com Linus you get

00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:11.880
10% off your membership if you use our offer code which is Linus 2 I should

00:54:09.720 --> 00:54:16.359
probably have that up there see just like that Linus 2 right over there if

00:54:13.640 --> 00:54:20.839
you use Linus 2 and I'm missing something right they pay

00:54:19.160 --> 00:54:24.440
for your domain if you sign up for a year right from the get-go so they'll

00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:28.359
give you a free domain in addition to the hosting that you're already paying

00:54:25.720 --> 00:54:31.960
them for how does that domain thingy work if if

00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:37.359
they pay for your domain and then you leave can you take the domain not sure

00:54:35.040 --> 00:54:41.200
but you got 14 days of free trial to ask them questions they have 247 support see

00:54:39.720 --> 00:54:44.079
there's they have so many talking points I can't cover them all in a single read

00:54:42.880 --> 00:54:49.599
leading you into those oh you were leading me into more talking point that's okay I'm I I think I covered it

00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:52.760
pretty well I think you guys mostly know what Squarespace is it's just the kind

00:54:51.200 --> 00:54:56.880
of thing that you have to kind of try it to believe it we switched from a

00:54:54.319 --> 00:55:01.200
WordPress site to Squarespace for l Med group.com and yeah that's that's what my

00:54:59.520 --> 00:55:05.400
web guy looked like when we did it because instead of him picking at every

00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:09.319
little thing bit by bit which you can play around with on Squarespace but you

00:55:06.799 --> 00:55:14.119
don't have to it was able to be done by edzel in like less than a day and I'm

00:55:11.640 --> 00:55:16.920
not a designer yeah so it's the kind of thing that designers or even

00:55:15.520 --> 00:55:20.839
non-designers can do if you have a little bit of knoow all right so let's

00:55:18.599 --> 00:55:25.079
move into our next topic oh it's going to be an angry topic

00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:29.440
which one do you want to fight a I'm I'm going to let you pick uh

00:55:28.319 --> 00:55:36.280
should we do flappy birds so we can start getting people talking about it now yeah let's do Flappy Birds okay so

00:55:33.480 --> 00:55:41.640
freaking Flappy Bird yeah freaking Flappy Bird so there's a massive amount

00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:45.960
of people disagreeing with each other and as far as I can tell just massive

00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:50.720
mountains of misinformation as the actual guy himself has really not said

00:55:48.359 --> 00:55:55.720
that much yeah dong neon is taken the game down but it's done so fairly

00:55:53.520 --> 00:55:59.319
quietly fairly quietly he hasn't said a ton there is people that have like

00:55:57.160 --> 00:56:05.720
screen captured some of his tweets but usually it's like he said four to five

00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:07.720
words and then people have essays on

00:56:05.720 --> 00:56:11.880
what he's actually saying but like we're not interpreting a poem part of the

00:56:09.640 --> 00:56:15.319
problem is for one he's ESL so he's he has interpreted a lot of people

00:56:13.200 --> 00:56:20.119
incorrectly I think that's actually sort of an impolite term these days is it

00:56:18.039 --> 00:56:23.960
yeah I think so but speaking sorry we're not like we're not trying to be rude to

00:56:22.520 --> 00:56:27.559
anything it just means English Second Language that's all we intended and the

00:56:25.520 --> 00:56:32.359
only reason why I'm saying that is uh I know some of it at least some portion of

00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:37.359
it this part is fairly straightforward is because he was getting a lot of uh

00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:42.280
what he felt were attacks someone would say like I've been playing for the last

00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:45.160
eight hours and my eyes are bleeding I

00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:48.839
hate you but like that's not actually necessarily a negative thing they I

00:56:47.599 --> 00:56:54.319
don't think they really mean the I hate you part and they've been playing for last8 hours probably because they enjoy

00:56:51.839 --> 00:56:57.319
it um but he received that very negatively and was like oh my God I'm

00:56:55.960 --> 00:57:02.240
sorry sorry you shouldn't have played this much I'm sorry um and I think he's

00:57:01.160 --> 00:57:05.880
having a lot of trouble with all the pressure that's for sure but it's a lot

00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:12.280
of other things that people have been speculating about that we don't really know um people have said that he makes

00:57:09.599 --> 00:57:18.640
50k like a day on it or something like that um but then like where does that

00:57:16.280 --> 00:57:22.200
necessarily come from uh I've heard that the original source for that might not

00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:26.359
have actually been 100% accurate or it might have been an estimation or it was

00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:31.400
accurate or it's totally not accurate who knows uh if you go to our social

00:57:28.760 --> 00:57:37.240
media page for our social blade page sorry um for lonus Tech tips that's

00:57:33.920 --> 00:57:39.359
totally not accurate um yeah we can't

00:57:37.240 --> 00:57:43.359
tell you how much our earnings actually are because it's against the terms of

00:57:40.839 --> 00:57:47.799
our agreement with Google but I can tell you that a that's an extremely wide

00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:53.799
range it's actually a full order of magnitude from the minimum to the

00:57:49.319 --> 00:57:55.839
maximum and B like it's not even

00:57:53.799 --> 00:57:59.960
necessarily closer to one or the other it's

00:57:57.440 --> 00:58:04.240
just yeah it's totally flippity it's a number yeah and enjoy it there there's

00:58:02.680 --> 00:58:08.200
people saying he took it down for legal reasons even when he said he didn't but

00:58:06.280 --> 00:58:12.000
then it kind of might make sense that he did and then who the heck knows uh

00:58:10.599 --> 00:58:16.480
there's people wondering if he's having problems with Nintendo because of the

00:58:13.880 --> 00:58:20.839
pipes and then who the heck knows the game's not even

00:58:18.319 --> 00:58:23.640
good like how did this become an internet

00:58:21.799 --> 00:58:27.640
sensation there there's been people saying that he got Bots to download it

00:58:26.359 --> 00:58:32.119
and rate it so that it would go up to the top of the list so that people would actually start playing it and then

00:58:30.240 --> 00:58:34.720
that's why it played but then who knows but then why would he take it down at

00:58:33.480 --> 00:58:40.599
that point then why would he take it down cuz he's making so much money did he copy the game is it just a a new

00:58:39.039 --> 00:58:45.400
version of helicopter but then who cares but then did he copy of helicopter yeah

00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:50.599
but then but then did he copy a newer game uh someone else that also made a

00:58:47.520 --> 00:58:52.319
new version of helicopter um total

00:58:50.599 --> 00:58:55.440
biscuit has good comments on it where he actually doesn't say a ton about it but

00:58:53.720 --> 00:58:59.079
he's talking he's talking to his own subreddit about why he's abandoning the

00:58:57.119 --> 00:59:03.160
subreddit it's because he can't take all the all the hate essentially all the

00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:07.119
people attacking him over so many things and he brings up the Flappy Bird context

00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:13.119
which that makes sense because there's so much it it was so sudden it was so

00:59:09.760 --> 00:59:14.640
quick it was uh zero to not hero all of

00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:19.240
a sudden because he was getting attacked by a lot of people um there's there's so

00:59:17.559 --> 00:59:23.799
much crap going around that I didn't have enough time to properly say this is

00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:30.400
how it is before we did the show so what do you guys think yeah let us know uh

00:59:26.599 --> 00:59:32.480
Twitter Blitz guys at linch on Twitter

00:59:30.400 --> 00:59:37.000
what's your theory and we'll try to go through quite a few tweets on this I

00:59:34.240 --> 00:59:44.359
mean one comment that I have for both John total biscuit Bane and for Don

00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:47.119
Newan here or dong new here is like

00:59:44.359 --> 00:59:53.240
people say stuff on the internet there's you can't get I mean

00:59:50.760 --> 00:59:57.200
did you ever read early comments on my videos yeah and I've read early comments

00:59:55.480 --> 01:00:02.599
about myself and I've read current comments about myself I mean you can't

01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:07.520
take that stuff seriously and like one thing one thing that you have to do um

01:00:05.079 --> 01:00:11.520
is like just try to focus on the positive ones absolutely or the neutral

01:00:09.839 --> 01:00:15.160
ones neutral ones honestly you can often get a lot of information from you know

01:00:13.319 --> 01:00:21.400
how okay I don't know if you've noticed this but how many negative comments are

01:00:17.839 --> 01:00:23.559
there on my videos right now yeah not be

01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:29.720
honest almost nothing you want to know why not because I F with them not

01:00:27.240 --> 01:00:36.000
because I made public statements about how much they're bothering me because I

01:00:32.799 --> 01:00:38.960
just ignored them because I don't

01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:44.440
care that's all there is to it how to make negative comments about your work

01:00:41.319 --> 01:00:47.280
go away is find the people who are

01:00:44.440 --> 01:00:52.280
saying something positive and thank them for saying something

01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:55.559
positive positive reinforcement will

01:00:52.280 --> 01:00:58.280
always always work better on people than

01:00:55.559 --> 01:01:03.119
negative reinforcement and arguing with people why would you argue with someone

01:01:00.960 --> 01:01:09.200
who doesn't like what you're doing and doesn't like you are you going to hope

01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:11.440
to impress them with with your anger

01:01:09.200 --> 01:01:15.359
with your arguing with your with your I mean in the case of someone like like

01:01:13.160 --> 01:01:22.119
John like total biscuit with your formidable and articulate excellent

01:01:18.359 --> 01:01:24.920
arguing and probably correct

01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:31.039
arguing but I mean it's arguing on the internet no one wins you just everyone's

01:01:28.559 --> 01:01:35.000
just angry it can get to like it it can get to people and that's that's part of

01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:41.640
John's thing is he's saying it's it's like the volume is it's just so much

01:01:38.799 --> 01:01:45.079
there's so much of it and like he didn't mind when the subreddit was fairly small

01:01:43.640 --> 01:01:48.599
because there was some negativity but it wasn't just like overwhelming waves of

01:01:46.920 --> 01:01:53.000
it and he just can't deal with it because of the the volume I find Reddit

01:01:50.839 --> 01:01:56.520
a pretty negative community in general I mean don't take this the wrong way guys

01:01:54.680 --> 01:02:03.880
but the the whole I mean the internet culture of glomming

01:01:58.839 --> 01:02:07.200
on to things that are funny or stupid or

01:02:03.880 --> 01:02:09.599
um that you don't like and and and M

01:02:07.200 --> 01:02:14.839
making that as public as possible definitely exists and Reddit with its up

01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:20.319
and down voting is one of the communities that really

01:02:17.720 --> 01:02:24.640
um really does it very effectively finding things that they

01:02:23.039 --> 01:02:27.920
really like and bringing it to everyone's attention and finding things

01:02:26.200 --> 01:02:30.760
that they really hate and bringing that to everyone's attention I mean it's part

01:02:29.240 --> 01:02:37.799
of the structure of the website and I'm not criticizing that I'm not saying it's

01:02:33.079 --> 01:02:39.920
wrong I'm just saying that it would be

01:02:37.799 --> 01:02:45.920
it I think it Fosters a culture that might either cause people to be um you

01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:50.200
know lifted up I mean in ways that Gab Ben gets I mean I'm pretty tongue and-

01:02:48.319 --> 01:02:54.960
cheek about the whole Lord and Savior gay Ben thing but you know when

01:02:52.640 --> 01:02:58.200
something gets joked about long enough I think people do start to take it a

01:02:56.520 --> 01:03:01.400
little bit seriously and then at the other end of the spectrum you take

01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:05.640
something like Flappy Birds or you take something like a controversial thing

01:03:03.720 --> 01:03:10.279
that total biscuit said which happens every once in a blue moon he'll say

01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:14.680
something controversial and I think that it can create that sort of overwhelming

01:03:13.079 --> 01:03:17.400
wave of negativity in the same way that it can create an overwhelming wave of

01:03:16.079 --> 01:03:20.920
positivity and there's really no middle ground on Reddit because anything on

01:03:19.119 --> 01:03:24.760
Reddit that's at the top that's going to be seen is either really positive or

01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:28.000
really negative and that that I think is is the reason that I don't really hang

01:03:26.279 --> 01:03:32.079
out there I have a subreddit I think someone created it or something but I

01:03:29.799 --> 01:03:38.119
don't go there because it's not something that I don't personally prefer

01:03:35.680 --> 01:03:42.200
that approach tic.com we have our own website so you know if people want to

01:03:40.160 --> 01:03:46.480
talk to us like I've had people ask me if I'll do an AMA on Reddit I'm like no

01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:51.039
come on our Forum ask me a freaking question I read our Forum every day I no

01:03:49.240 --> 01:03:54.559
I did it as an advertisement for the live stream the first time I did one and

01:03:53.119 --> 01:04:00.319
then I answered the questions on the live stream which I didn't realize at the time is not how you're supposed to

01:03:57.440 --> 01:04:02.760
do an AMA yeah so I I posted one and people asked me questions and I did

01:04:01.559 --> 01:04:07.039
answer them but I didn't really do it right oh so anyway the lineus TCH tips

01:04:05.400 --> 01:04:11.559
forum is the place to post stuff if you have questions that actually reminded me about another thing which is people were

01:04:10.359 --> 01:04:14.880
saying that floppy birds might have blown up because of Reddit there's

01:04:13.359 --> 01:04:19.760
there's even things that I found that I don't remember because there's way too

01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:21.920
many so yeah theories away and Reddit

01:04:19.760 --> 01:04:26.680
has that power they can make things blow up they're sort of like terrorists that

01:04:24.359 --> 01:04:32.200
way and everyone hated lonus and there was

01:04:29.559 --> 01:04:38.160
like lonus in his video says Reddit is terrorist up up up this guy's

01:04:35.520 --> 01:04:41.720
terrible don't take on Reddit it's a mistake all right Rob says I thought he

01:04:40.319 --> 01:04:47.359
was concerned that people were playing it too much see but then like and that

01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:55.839
that's yeah I saw that I think at least once dong giveth dong take

01:04:51.520 --> 01:04:59.400
away ah why you be so stupid Chrome I'll

01:04:55.839 --> 01:05:00.680
go on this side okay steam sales okay I

01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:05.200
think this guy with the Flappy birs knows what he was doing he will make even more money from the publicity it's

01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:10.079
hard to make money off of it when you're not selling it anymore he has other games in the store that have risen in

01:05:08.200 --> 01:05:13.279
popularity due to the fappy Birds thing all right I don't think he wanted to

01:05:11.680 --> 01:05:17.680
deal with the comments not everyone can take that in stride like total biscuit

01:05:15.160 --> 01:05:22.119
are you okay that's fair enough that's fair enough I mean no one wants to hear

01:05:20.039 --> 01:05:27.880
this but I would make the argument the internet is always going to bring out

01:05:25.359 --> 01:05:32.760
and imity I think brings out the worst in people and sometimes the best in

01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:37.319
people but often the way that we see it manifested on the Internet is bringing

01:05:34.520 --> 01:05:41.160
out the worst in people and people will say things to you on the internet that

01:05:39.160 --> 01:05:46.000
they would never say to you in person I've actually met I had the I don't know

01:05:43.279 --> 01:05:54.200
if I told you this I had the privilege of meeting one of my internet haters in

01:05:49.319 --> 01:05:58.079
person super Charming guy we had

01:05:54.200 --> 01:06:00.359
lunch I think I remember this and it was

01:05:58.079 --> 01:06:05.520
it was it really drove home the point to me that what people say and what they do

01:06:03.119 --> 01:06:10.240
on the internet is not necessarily even the real person and I that was that was

01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:15.160
actually a bit of a turning point for me because I decided to stop judging and

01:06:13.319 --> 01:06:19.720
stop fighting with the things that people said on the internet because I

01:06:16.599 --> 01:06:22.720
started to see them not as the real

01:06:19.720 --> 01:06:25.359
people but as their personas in much the

01:06:22.720 --> 01:06:31.319
same way that my video personality is not not is not 100% of exactly who I am

01:06:28.720 --> 01:06:34.440
I mean I think I'm fairly genuine and and you know it's not necessarily even

01:06:32.640 --> 01:06:39.359
intentional but when you when you're talking to a camera that's not the same

01:06:36.400 --> 01:06:42.279
way that you like you know sit back and hang out with your friends it's you have

01:06:40.720 --> 01:06:46.520
to project energy and then that changes you at least to a certain degree exactly

01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:54.000
and on the internet people are interacting with people in different

01:06:48.720 --> 01:06:55.880
ways all right um so okay someone says

01:06:54.000 --> 01:07:00.319
Fabio says when he was he was also in a country where $600 a month is a lot so

01:06:58.119 --> 01:07:02.760
when he got 50,000 a day it got suspicious I don't think that's a big

01:07:01.720 --> 01:07:08.760
deal though cuz it's not like he's going to have a hard time proving that the money is legitimate yeah uh Matthew says

01:07:06.880 --> 01:07:12.680
I actually believe him when getting thrusted into the spotlight even the

01:07:10.520 --> 01:07:17.359
most popular okay I think that was a typo but some people can collapse under

01:07:14.839 --> 01:07:24.039
the pressure and that's true going from Zero to Hero overnight can be um in this

01:07:21.760 --> 01:07:28.400
case I'm with I'm with dong even though I don't necessarily think that people

01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:33.039
who have gotten internet famous more gradually can complain but I'm with dong

01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:39.039
on this one cuz for me it was very jarring the first time I got recognized

01:07:35.799 --> 01:07:41.640
at the mall like it was it completely

01:07:39.039 --> 01:07:46.520
threw me off and that happened very gradually like people kind of knew who I

01:07:43.400 --> 01:07:48.400
was online and then they you know

01:07:46.520 --> 01:07:52.079
recognized me in person from time to time or they so or they'd email me and

01:07:50.760 --> 01:07:57.039
then I got recognized in person from time to time then I'd go places like

01:07:54.279 --> 01:08:01.920
Tech trade shows like CES or like NC Store grand openings and you know one in

01:07:59.760 --> 01:08:07.359
every five or 10 people knows who I am and I got to adjust to that over time

01:08:04.599 --> 01:08:12.880
whereas from zero to holy crap you're internet famous okay I'll buy that um

01:08:10.520 --> 01:08:17.319
Zachy says I think he just T took it too serious or take it so serious I'm

01:08:15.440 --> 01:08:24.799
enjoying the game it's fun and yeah sometimes it's stressful overall it's a fun game okay I hope for the next W show

01:08:21.080 --> 01:08:26.040
you show off a flappy space program so

01:08:24.799 --> 01:08:31.359
oh you've got to be kidding me okay I'm afraid to click on that everyone's making Flappy everything right now okay

01:08:29.759 --> 01:08:35.839
Flappy Birds after being had the ads change uh days later okay think he just

01:08:34.759 --> 01:08:39.359
pulled it down because he wanted to stop hearing about all the negativity I like

01:08:38.120 --> 01:08:44.040
that he took it down but people found a loophole to getting it of course they did that's parted like crazy already yep

01:08:43.120 --> 01:08:48.960
someone says I think he just misinterpreted some of the comments and

01:08:46.400 --> 01:08:52.799
that it was stupid anyway says Nick girl started calling him the Flappy Bird guy

01:08:51.159 --> 01:08:58.400
I would take it down too if that happened to me would you for 50 Grand a

01:08:55.759 --> 01:09:04.080
day for 50 Grand a day you're making like and girls call you the Flappy Bird

01:09:00.440 --> 01:09:06.719
guy and know you're making 50 Grand a

01:09:04.080 --> 01:09:10.759
day and you can drive up to them in your car I'd be like I'd have sunglasses with

01:09:09.120 --> 01:09:14.359
Flappy Bird on either side of them and I'd be like sup sup ladies I'm the

01:09:12.920 --> 01:09:18.640
Flappy Bird guy not everyone's like that can you

01:09:16.920 --> 01:09:22.920
beat my high score I got 44

01:09:25.880 --> 01:09:31.080
okay I think we need to not go down that path couldn't handle the pressure of

01:09:29.319 --> 01:09:34.719
knowing how many Flappy Birds had died can you handle the pressure may be part

01:09:32.560 --> 01:09:39.640
of a government conspiracy just didn't like money I kind of doubt that one I

01:09:37.799 --> 01:09:43.719
would ignore every single comment and keep filling my pockets with fat stacks

01:09:41.880 --> 01:09:48.359
yo says Ally I actually think there's a lot of people that would have just been

01:09:45.159 --> 01:09:50.199
like all right done sure it's like

01:09:48.359 --> 01:09:55.600
disconnected from the internet and then just let their game rot that's not a bad

01:09:52.159 --> 01:09:57.480
strategy just like unplug for a couple

01:09:55.600 --> 01:10:01.040
months because the internet has a short the the attention span of the internet

01:09:59.120 --> 01:10:06.320
let's go back to Reddit for a minute is about equal to the Decay algorithm on

01:10:05.000 --> 01:10:11.960
reddit's front page yeah so like if you disconnect for

01:10:09.159 --> 01:10:16.960
long enough just it won't matter you're fine don't worry about

01:10:14.199 --> 01:10:19.600
it all right uh okay I think that's about it for now let's move on to our

01:10:18.360 --> 01:10:27.880
next topic let's make sure we're not missing any of our headline topics before we uh yeah 29 oh yeah 290 XS have

01:10:25.080 --> 01:10:34.640
gone as high as $900

01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:36.920
$350 clear of the original price of the

01:10:34.640 --> 01:10:41.840
290x so this was actually an article posted on a nonch I like mac and PC

01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:47.040
posted it on our Forum so here's a link to the article on a nonch by Ryan Smith

01:10:44.520 --> 01:10:52.280
and this is like it's like hilarious so there's a couple things here number one

01:10:49.239 --> 01:10:55.920
is the prices have hit $900 which is

01:10:52.280 --> 01:10:59.320
ridiculous number two oh they've changed

01:10:55.920 --> 01:11:02.800
oh oh I'm at new oh oh they changed

01:10:59.320 --> 01:11:03.960
them what just happened interesting I

01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:11.679
wonder if there's an update to the article already what's this

01:11:07.960 --> 01:11:14.360
P it's not on what there's also not as

01:11:11.679 --> 01:11:19.640
many cards as there were interesting $6.99 7.99 for the liquid

01:11:18.120 --> 01:11:25.440
cooled one okay well maybe this isn't news anymore I want to know what this p

01:11:22.199 --> 01:11:28.520
means when I did this article like two

01:11:25.440 --> 01:11:31.000
hours ago they were there huh all right

01:11:28.520 --> 01:11:34.520
well apparently uh because okay so to be clear guys okay so there were a couple

01:11:32.360 --> 01:11:39.520
of observations from Ryan number one was that every single card was $899.99

01:11:36.600 --> 01:11:43.280
whether it had an air cooler a reference cooler a water block that is not how it

01:11:41.920 --> 01:11:47.199
was when I looked and that's not how it was when you looked so when he looked

01:11:44.960 --> 01:11:52.560
that's what it looked like and then uh the other interesting observation was

01:11:49.480 --> 01:11:56.000
that this wasn't happening in other

01:11:52.560 --> 01:11:58.040
territories so uh Ian cut

01:11:56.000 --> 01:12:01.880
who also works for an anx checked out some of you know his favorite UK

01:11:59.880 --> 01:12:06.080
retailers and pricing was only marginally above the North American MSRP

01:12:04.040 --> 01:12:10.560
which it usually is because graphics card tend cards tend to be more

01:12:07.639 --> 01:12:16.840
expensive in Europe so that I just did an inspect element on that P and it's a

01:12:12.719 --> 01:12:18.920
membership icon membership icon yeah

01:12:16.840 --> 01:12:23.320
that's interesting and if you and if you're clicking on these SKS they're

01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:28.520
just not linked to anything what is going on on their website

01:12:26.239 --> 01:12:33.880
what are they doing you should call up Paul and be like dude yo dog oh this one

01:12:31.639 --> 01:12:37.360
works what are you doing Premier member Premier member does that mean you have

01:12:35.480 --> 01:12:41.560
to be a premier member to buy it oh no it's eligible for free shipping on

01:12:39.360 --> 01:12:46.639
returns free three-day shipping okay so it looks like it's kind of like Prime

01:12:43.239 --> 01:12:49.199
but Premiere which has the same letters

01:12:46.639 --> 01:12:54.040
as Prime but has more letters and it's therefore

01:12:50.760 --> 01:12:55.560
better more letters is more better all

01:12:54.040 --> 01:13:02.360
right so of course all of this is due to uh

01:12:59.120 --> 01:13:03.800
Litecoin and Dogecoin Mining and all

01:13:02.360 --> 01:13:07.120
that kind of stuff and actually not a whole lot to do with how price

01:13:05.639 --> 01:13:13.080
performance competitive something like the R9 290x happens to be I really don't

01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:18.159
know where the end of this is but it's pretty clear that for gamers right now

01:13:15.400 --> 01:13:22.480
even at $700 that's not a competitive card for gamers right now the better

01:13:20.639 --> 01:13:27.159
option is to go for something like a GTX 780 and then you know get like a pretty

01:13:25.480 --> 01:13:30.679
decent chunk chunk of cash towards a nice CPU to go along with it or a couple

01:13:29.120 --> 01:13:35.000
cool games there was a comparison made by an anch saying that if you paid that

01:13:32.880 --> 01:13:41.120
price plus 10 bucks you could get a 780 Ti and an i5 4670k I compared it wasn't

01:13:38.280 --> 01:13:46.400
exactly $10 as far as I could find um but that was maybe due to Canadian

01:13:42.960 --> 01:13:48.719
pricing um but for not very much more

01:13:46.400 --> 01:13:52.440
you could still get a 780 Ti and a 467k talking about like 50 60 bucks so and

01:13:51.000 --> 01:13:57.880
mean we consider that you don't need a 780 Ti to perform better than a 290x

01:13:55.760 --> 01:14:01.239
there's a cheaper card that does that it starts to become pretty hard to justify

01:13:59.560 --> 01:14:05.120
for gamers and does NVIDIA still have that game bundle

01:14:02.960 --> 01:14:09.199
running that I don't I'm not sure sorry guys don't quote me on the game

01:14:06.600 --> 01:14:12.679
bundle AMD also has their game bundle running as well I think they just added

01:14:11.239 --> 01:14:15.800
was it Thief to it or something they added something to it yeah yeah I know

01:14:14.360 --> 01:14:21.360
AMD was doing something with Thief so that would make sense all right I'm

01:14:19.400 --> 01:14:25.960
going to I'm not going to get too ranty about this I I just don't have the

01:14:23.360 --> 01:14:29.199
strength for it um no trouble post on the Forum the original source is the

01:14:28.040 --> 01:14:36.120
verge.com Google and foxcon are going to be

01:14:32.280 --> 01:14:39.280
working together on a new vision of

01:14:36.120 --> 01:14:43.639
roboticized factories so what this will

01:14:39.280 --> 01:14:46.800
amount to is heavy investment upfront in

01:14:43.639 --> 01:14:51.239
automated robotic systems

01:14:46.800 --> 01:14:53.520
replacing um low wage uh menial jobs

01:14:51.239 --> 01:14:57.480
like uh plugging in Connect actually I mean some of this is being done already

01:14:54.679 --> 01:15:03.080
so things like plugging in connectors on motherboards or even assembling things

01:15:00.280 --> 01:15:08.840
like phones and tablets potentially completely replacing those low-end jobs

01:15:05.639 --> 01:15:11.639
with machines this will allow them to do

01:15:08.840 --> 01:15:16.560
a couple of things uh number one is reduce their labor force so there was a

01:15:13.760 --> 01:15:20.960
quote this was in The Verge article uh from someone who worked in a department

01:15:18.159 --> 01:15:24.520
that used to have 30 people connecting wires to motherboards remember foxcon

01:15:23.080 --> 01:15:29.400
assembles a lot of different stuff everything from you know little tiny

01:15:27.440 --> 01:15:34.600
like phones and stuff all the way up to things like OEM PCS for other tier one

01:15:32.199 --> 01:15:38.840
PC manufacturers and they were able to take that team and reduce it from 30

01:15:36.639 --> 01:15:42.800
people doing all the stuff to five people pretty much pressing buttons and

01:15:41.040 --> 01:15:47.239
controlling the machines

01:15:44.719 --> 01:15:52.199
um okay so there okay so that's effect number one and then effect number two

01:15:49.159 --> 01:15:55.440
the other impact is that this approach

01:15:52.199 --> 01:15:57.679
could help move new tech jobs

01:15:55.440 --> 01:16:03.060
in the manufacturing sector back overseas to North

01:16:01.480 --> 01:16:05.280
America

01:16:05.280 --> 01:16:11.199
so it's not very surprising because of certain Acquisitions from Google

01:16:09.159 --> 01:16:16.239
recently they bought Boston Dynamics which makes those crazy robotic running

01:16:13.560 --> 01:16:21.560
things like big dog and things called Wildcat or something along those yeah

01:16:18.679 --> 01:16:25.480
Wildcat um so they they recently acquired a robotics company they've been

01:16:23.000 --> 01:16:30.120
looking at AI forever this just all kind of makes sense um now big dog isn't

01:16:28.480 --> 01:16:33.880
exactly manufacturing but when you acquire something like Boston Dynamics

01:16:31.800 --> 01:16:37.960
I'm sure you acquire a lot of extremely skilled engineers and I'm sure they

01:16:35.880 --> 01:16:42.159
could take something like that and adapt certain systems like the articulating

01:16:39.480 --> 01:16:47.199
arms and stuff uh into some type of manufacturing system because I mean

01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:50.960
really that's the advantage that humans

01:16:47.199 --> 01:16:52.920
have over machines is the ability to um

01:16:50.960 --> 01:16:58.280
well to to think and to reason as they do things as well as to have everything

01:16:55.920 --> 01:17:02.080
from good course motor control to very fine motor control the ability to

01:17:00.520 --> 01:17:06.719
diagnose something and look closely at it and carefully while they're

01:17:03.840 --> 01:17:12.679
assembling something and between better robotic Vision which is advancing very

01:17:09.080 --> 01:17:14.120
very quickly these days and um more wow

01:17:12.679 --> 01:17:19.360
look at that I hadn't actually watched this video before that's fantastic it's really old video too yeah this is from

01:17:17.000 --> 01:17:24.639
2008 yeah um and being able to build devices like

01:17:22.280 --> 01:17:29.239
this that have the grace and reactivity of human we don't necessarily need

01:17:27.040 --> 01:17:34.199
people to put stuff together anymore and one of the things that they're saying um

01:17:32.760 --> 01:17:39.480
and this is uh this is a quote from the verges article again let me just find

01:17:36.360 --> 01:17:42.760
the the right quote is that one of the

01:17:39.480 --> 01:17:45.320
benefits is that they want to compete

01:17:42.760 --> 01:17:50.400
better with hold on let me see if I can uh are you playing oh apparently the

01:17:48.440 --> 01:17:56.280
sound from that video was terrible oh sorry guys sorry guys so this is from

01:17:53.320 --> 01:18:01.040
another article that um is also on the verge foxcon begins

01:17:58.480 --> 01:18:07.120
replacing workers with robots ahead of us expansion and this is a quote we have

01:18:04.480 --> 01:18:13.760
to begin to add more value in the process otherwise it will be difficult

01:18:09.440 --> 01:18:16.159
to attract a young generation of workers

01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:22.400
and that is similar to one of the things that President Obama said was that he

01:18:19.280 --> 01:18:25.080
replied that certain low skill jobs are

01:18:22.400 --> 01:18:30.400
simply not going to come back and the country should therefore focus on

01:18:26.760 --> 01:18:30.400
developing more advanced

01:18:30.600 --> 01:18:38.440
manufacturing I call BS how does removing menial

01:18:36.880 --> 01:18:44.040
jobs make it easier to employ younger people

01:18:42.320 --> 01:18:49.159
who are unwilling to do those menial jobs you haven't replaced those jobs

01:18:47.280 --> 01:18:54.040
with something I actually didn't see that

01:18:51.320 --> 01:18:57.360
quote um I yeah I don't think they're helping the job Market I think this is

01:18:55.760 --> 01:19:02.320
inevitable and has been happening throughout the entire history of human

01:18:59.320 --> 01:19:04.760
existence to happen bound to happen but

01:19:02.320 --> 01:19:08.360
like I mean the I I personally just throwing this out there I think the

01:19:06.159 --> 01:19:11.800
robotic Revolution is going to be on potentially on the scale of the

01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:15.800
Industrial Revolution and mass mass production wondering if it's going to be

01:19:13.080 --> 01:19:20.840
bigger in terms of uh what a difference it'll make to how the labor force gets

01:19:18.360 --> 01:19:26.600
distributed and how tasks are performed by people because we we are not talking

01:19:24.080 --> 01:19:32.480
I mean well the goals here okay so the goals of making it more appealing to the

01:19:29.920 --> 01:19:37.560
younger generation of people or moving manufacturing back to the US neither of

01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:45.040
those goals are actually going to be creating any additional jobs and if the

01:19:41.880 --> 01:19:48.679
cost of the goods goes down

01:19:45.040 --> 01:19:51.600
proportionally then fine but if instead

01:19:48.679 --> 01:19:56.600
the end objective is to give the executives that came up with the idea is

01:19:54.280 --> 01:20:01.840
of replacing the people with machines with a large upfront investment but then

01:19:58.880 --> 01:20:06.600
a very small long-term cost is if the idea is just to put more money in their

01:20:03.600 --> 01:20:10.159
pockets then who is going to buy an

01:20:06.600 --> 01:20:13.000
iPhone that's what I worry about what

01:20:10.159 --> 01:20:18.679
impact will this have and how far away are we from the byy and large I mean

01:20:16.600 --> 01:20:24.440
maybe Wall-E is more prophetic than even I thought it was yeah it's actually kind

01:20:21.000 --> 01:20:25.280
of a really big deal um uh cuz the thing

01:20:24.440 --> 01:20:32.560
about low lowend menial jobs is that not

01:20:29.560 --> 01:20:35.239
everyone can be an

01:20:32.560 --> 01:20:40.320
executive that's that's just life there's only there's only so much

01:20:37.639 --> 01:20:45.320
decision making to be done before someone has to actually do the work and

01:20:42.600 --> 01:20:52.159
at the end of the day someone has to actually make the sandwich at

01:20:48.080 --> 01:20:54.120
Subway or what else will they do it it

01:20:52.159 --> 01:20:57.800
it's becoming interesting because like in the wall Universe where everyone just

01:20:55.760 --> 01:21:01.760
kind of carts around um and doesn't have to pay for anything or do anything but

01:20:59.920 --> 01:21:07.040
why is that going to happen why would the super rich allow

01:21:04.239 --> 01:21:11.360
that to happen they obviously don't care they will obviously let you just

01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:17.360
raw and die so I think it's going to be Wall-E

01:21:14.440 --> 01:21:23.239
but with a lot less of the everyone gets everything so maybe Wally is a best case

01:21:19.679 --> 01:21:26.040
scenario unfortunately I'm thinking

01:21:23.239 --> 01:21:32.320
maybe ah I don't know I mean I was I went to the drive-thru at Burger King

01:21:27.880 --> 01:21:33.960
today or U not Wendy's today and I was

01:21:32.320 --> 01:21:39.239
like I was kind of sitting there and you know how a lot of the drive-throughs

01:21:35.679 --> 01:21:42.280
have added that voice that says hi

01:21:39.239 --> 01:21:44.480
welcome to wherever um can I take your

01:21:42.280 --> 01:21:47.320
order and then you say whatever it is and then a completely different voice of

01:21:45.920 --> 01:21:52.360
the actual person taking your order comes back and I was thinking about it

01:21:49.800 --> 01:21:57.040
as I went through the drive-thru at some point 50 years from now 100 years from

01:21:54.719 --> 01:22:02.480
now will there even be a restaurant you can walk into or will it be you know

01:22:00.440 --> 01:22:06.520
future style everyone has to go through the drive-thru and will that person be

01:22:04.639 --> 01:22:10.040
completely gone replaced by smarter Google voice recognition and smart

01:22:08.320 --> 01:22:16.679
Google robots will be like super expensive restaurants will you care if a

01:22:14.000 --> 01:22:16.679
robot makes your

01:22:17.760 --> 01:22:23.920
food depends what if it does a better job cuz

01:22:22.000 --> 01:22:30.239
quite frankly it probably will then I probably wouldn't care care what if it's

01:22:26.360 --> 01:22:33.199
faster and does a better job and

01:22:30.239 --> 01:22:37.199
yet see cuz like uh and people are going to be like oh but you're taking jobs

01:22:34.440 --> 01:22:40.760
away from people yeah but that's you I'm I'm ignoring that part completely

01:22:39.320 --> 01:22:45.920
because it's it's what I would care about I would care that that person doesn't have a job I wouldn't

01:22:43.800 --> 01:22:50.800
necessarily care that my food was made by a robot unless it was worse in some

01:22:49.520 --> 01:22:56.199
possible way I just wonder what people will do if

01:22:54.000 --> 01:23:01.080
no one has to make a sandwich or assemble a phone speaking of assembling

01:22:58.159 --> 01:23:06.239
phones like I I actually took apart a phone for the first time not my one but

01:23:02.800 --> 01:23:07.560
my wife dryed DNA and like I I felt like

01:23:06.239 --> 01:23:13.239
this kind of gave me a better understanding of the electronics assembly process because I took the

01:23:10.639 --> 01:23:16.880
whole thing all completely apart down to the screen and then replaced the screen

01:23:15.320 --> 01:23:21.199
on it and then put the whole thing back together and I was kind of sitting there

01:23:19.679 --> 01:23:26.400
thinking about it today as I was in the Drive-Thru and I was like thinking about

01:23:22.920 --> 01:23:27.760
this article and I was like if a robot

01:23:26.400 --> 01:23:33.840
could do that what couldn't it do it's it's going

01:23:31.440 --> 01:23:38.639
to be interesting there's there's um a forum on the internet uh that I frequent

01:23:36.880 --> 01:23:44.719
that talks about like futurology and stuff like what what is actually going

01:23:40.080 --> 01:23:46.480
to happen and the future of the 60s was

01:23:44.719 --> 01:23:49.840
all this awesome stuff all this automation that we're starting to see

01:23:47.920 --> 01:23:55.120
and stuff but then no one thought about the ramifications fact that no one will have

01:23:52.760 --> 01:24:00.000
a job at some point and then it's like who who Who's going

01:23:57.040 --> 01:24:03.800
to make the the Uber Rich the 1% whatever pay the people that aren't

01:24:01.880 --> 01:24:08.679
doing anything because there's nothing for them to do and like not everyone can

01:24:06.560 --> 01:24:13.639
be a lawyer and I don't mean this in the sense of like you know the the gods and

01:24:11.159 --> 01:24:18.960
Claws talk that Kyle's Dad gives him on South Park I mean not everyone is cut

01:24:16.600 --> 01:24:26.120
out to be a lawyer I personally couldn't handle it there you go upfront I am not

01:24:22.480 --> 01:24:29.560
one of those you know ilite upper tier

01:24:26.120 --> 01:24:32.719
like memory and you know Elite upper

01:24:29.560 --> 01:24:34.880
tier of you know arguing with people and

01:24:32.719 --> 01:24:38.719
like I'm just not cut out for that not everyone can do every job and if you

01:24:36.840 --> 01:24:43.280
take away an entire segment of what people do I just don't know what they'll

01:24:40.920 --> 01:24:47.480
do and I mean you look at some of the the new jobs that are emerging things

01:24:45.840 --> 01:24:52.960
like being gam streamers you guys are on Twitch TV you're aware of this game

01:24:49.600 --> 01:24:55.080
streaming is that something that anyone

01:24:52.960 --> 01:25:00.560
is going to be willing to pay for for an entire generation of people whose jobs

01:24:57.840 --> 01:25:05.119
it is to entertain each other if there's yeah that's that's

01:25:03.159 --> 01:25:09.600
actually I've could we sustain ourselves that way well if you look into the past

01:25:07.280 --> 01:25:11.520
entertainment has explode exploded completely it's getting bigger and

01:25:10.679 --> 01:25:15.600
bigger and bigger and there's more and more and more jobs because there isn't other stuff to do so it does kind of

01:25:14.280 --> 01:25:19.760
make sense but then that's the same thing as the lawyer not everyone can be

01:25:17.840 --> 01:25:24.440
an Entertainer not everyone can be a lawyer not everyone can be a lumberjack

01:25:22.320 --> 01:25:28.440
CU that's incredibly hard not not everyone can do all these different

01:25:25.639 --> 01:25:34.560
things I know my Wood's hard um yeah I don't know it's

01:25:31.760 --> 01:25:38.679
interesting I I I hope that it's taken care of

01:25:36.400 --> 01:25:42.480
but who knows I don't think we're in a position to influence it one way or the

01:25:40.760 --> 01:25:47.320
other we just have our little show we'll be entertainers we'll try thank you guys

01:25:44.960 --> 01:25:51.159
for letting us be entertainers please please let us keep being entertainers

01:25:49.600 --> 01:25:58.080
speaking of which you can support us on the Forum we have paid memberships now

01:25:54.840 --> 01:25:59.920
please take your sandwich money and well

01:25:58.080 --> 01:26:03.600
no not your sandwich money I I don't want the people who might not be making

01:26:02.280 --> 01:26:08.520
sandwiches anymore to give us their money see I don't know how to feel about

01:26:05.520 --> 01:26:10.840
this like I feel terrible about like

01:26:08.520 --> 01:26:17.080
like I actually feel guilty that my job is somewhat safe at least for now maybe

01:26:14.119 --> 01:26:20.000
you know maybe it isn't what if they've talked about the holographic actors

01:26:18.639 --> 01:26:25.400
thing exactly they might not need actors for movies anymore so that'll be really

01:26:22.440 --> 01:26:30.960
expensive for a while and even if you don't need actors you will still need

01:26:28.199 --> 01:26:37.400
people for extremely times sensitive stuff for probably quite some time but

01:26:33.800 --> 01:26:40.520
when realtime rendering engines and you

01:26:37.400 --> 01:26:44.080
know mouth and facial uh synchronization

01:26:40.520 --> 01:26:46.719
with with a voiceover comes to be will

01:26:44.080 --> 01:26:51.560
we need me anymore can we just have really nice b-roll of a product which

01:26:48.560 --> 01:26:53.639
can be produced by a robot and it could

01:26:51.560 --> 01:26:57.440
do better shots than poor Brandon could ever do because it's a robot because

01:26:55.440 --> 01:27:01.040
it's a robot will'll we just have really nice b-roll and then we'll we have a

01:26:58.960 --> 01:27:04.960
digitally rendered guy that sits and tells you all the key points about it

01:27:02.800 --> 01:27:09.920
and will we need me anymore and how far away are we from that probably not that

01:27:07.199 --> 01:27:15.080
far is that terrifying so okay maybe we do want the sandwich

01:27:12.119 --> 01:27:19.480
money anyway guys uh if you go to the blindest tech tips Forum uh and you

leads us to our last topic which is the

01:28:00.040 --> 01:28:08.400
TitanFall beta I didn't get a code did you get one I did you bastard um

01:28:05.719 --> 01:28:12.639
apparently and this was posted by Chris LX cross on the Forum if you contact EA

01:28:11.360 --> 01:28:19.920
support and tell them the Code you received didn't work they will add access to your account uh he posted a

01:28:16.280 --> 01:28:22.639
chat log of it working and there it is

01:28:19.920 --> 01:28:26.880
Titanfall right there I'm hearing mixed reports with some people saying it is

01:28:24.840 --> 01:28:31.320
Balls to the walls amazing and some people saying it sucks and then some

01:28:29.360 --> 01:28:35.600
people saying it's overrated which it probably would have to be given how

01:28:32.760 --> 01:28:39.679
hyped it was yeah it's a it's a big change though that's the whole kind of

01:28:37.880 --> 01:28:44.960
idea is that we're moving away from Modern Warfare 4 for the first time in a

01:28:41.760 --> 01:28:47.199
while holy crap it's it's something is

01:28:44.960 --> 01:28:51.440
different they have jetpacks they have these giant robot things there's there's

01:28:49.880 --> 01:28:54.440
there's different areas where the pilots can run around that the robots can't get

01:28:52.880 --> 01:28:57.920
them there's all these there's there's very the the levels are much more

01:28:56.080 --> 01:29:00.239
vertical because if you go really high with the jetpack and land on top one of

01:28:59.159 --> 01:29:06.000
the robots you can start ripping them apart there's there's much C with me

01:29:04.360 --> 01:29:11.360
yeah essentially but it didn't have mechs before so now it does and it has

01:29:09.040 --> 01:29:15.400
jetpacks and it has all this other crap so we'll see if it's worth anything at

01:29:13.679 --> 01:29:19.920
all soon I guess I'll stream I'll try to stream it

01:29:17.639 --> 01:29:24.199
at some point time this weekend I will not be streaming tonight unless it is

01:29:21.560 --> 01:29:31.080
extremely extremely late yeah it's Val 's day guys so uh tell me nope you got a

01:29:32.239 --> 01:29:37.880
date and I don't think it's under NDA because I have seen a lot of people

01:29:36.320 --> 01:29:43.800
streaming it on it's not under NDA you can't have a non-disclosure agreement for a date um unlike other schools

01:29:42.080 --> 01:29:50.080
online is this anything to do with that hcky you had on the show a couple months

01:29:45.480 --> 01:29:50.080
ago no actually oh that's

01:29:50.159 --> 01:29:54.159
awkward thanks

gaming posted by badooo on the Forum calls it quits after only six months ex

01:30:13.000 --> 01:30:20.239
valve employ employee Jason Holtman was recruited to spearhead their PC gaming

01:30:17.320 --> 01:30:23.679
and entertainment division now he is gone there was a bunch of talk at the

01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:27.560
time about how Microsoft was serious about PC gaming again and we haven't

01:30:25.880 --> 01:30:32.040
given up on you guys and since then the xbone has been released we have no

01:30:30.360 --> 01:30:36.480
compatibility on the PC for this controller they're throwing Co they're

01:30:34.000 --> 01:30:42.239

watching this show anyway right at least on a secondary monitor at least on a

01:31:10.440 --> 01:31:17.199
second monitor or like on a phone or something or or in the background or on a tablet you would have had it on on

01:31:14.679 --> 01:31:20.600
your TV that's behind you that you can't see and you would have been wearing open

01:31:19.280 --> 01:31:26.760
headphones so you can hear us in addition to the game sounds there you go

01:31:24.239 --> 01:31:26.760
