12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:53,520
got a fantastic show planned for you today as we always do every show is

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:56,920
great uh the part that I lied about was the planning I don't even have the

14
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:03,680
document up on my computer yet you tell them about the show we have um just

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,640
general disent for Ubisoft disent I said

16
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,640
the wrong word we're just going to invent words because there are no words

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:15,360
for how disatisfied we are there we go with how Ubisoft is treating PC Gamers

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:19,280
disent I'm full of disent um they're full of

19
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:25,680
disent their dis intentions are discombobulating my dentry

20
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,200
and taking real words we just got dissed

21
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:32,240
surrounding them with fake ones um and EA might not suck as much anymore but

22
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,799
they haven't made that an actionable item yet so haven't made an what are you

23
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,240
even talking about they haven't done anything with it they're just like yeah

24
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:42,920
they're like they're doing they're pulling the Microsoft thing they're pulling the Microsoft thing we're going

25
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:48,320
to support PC gaming sometime but EA's never actually

26
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:52,799
gone that far before so this is still a step in the right direction that's true

27
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:56,640
usually they're just like screw you guys at least they're paying lip service to

28
00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:00,399
the PC gaming Community this is true this is true T-Mobile test drive ripped

29
00:01:58,759 --> 00:02:04,159
off a line of te tips ideas and we'll be allowing people to something something

30
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:09,160
tell you later um almost went a little bit too far and

31
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:13,720
we now have a new beta for the front page of lines.com which you can check

32
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:18,440
out it's sort of badass it's like sort of the best thing ever it was designed

33
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:24,920
by me coded by me and all the Articles were written by me the lies just got

34
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:30,000
bigger and bigger didn't if catman's

35
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:31,920

36
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,080
are you kidding me you mean that guy that was just constantly like I don't

37
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:41,680

38
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:46,440
my friend is how Corporate America Works kind of

39
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:52,840
yeah okay any no but seriously huge big UPS to Catman for being a cat and a man

40
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:58,040
it's like anyway we'll talk more about that later but for now intro time

41
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:18,560

65
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:05,800
oh my God one I didn't know this was

66
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:09,960
happening until like five minutes ago when you were like oh my God where's the

67
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:13,880
image and I was like apparently we need an image for this thing which may or may

68
00:05:12,039 --> 00:05:18,639
not be a thing and then now we're giving away processors on it that's right

69
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:23,000

70
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:27,800
make snap decisions speaking of making SN you

71
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,919
giving away mine your what the the ones that I've been testing with okay cool

72
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,560
yeah don't worry it's all good I like those ones we got new we got new ones

73
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:43,080
okay so I have the wrong document up still so you're on point oh no here we

74
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:45,680
go all right so the headline this week

75
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:51,840
all the fail Ubisoft could you have shot yourselves

76
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,960
in the foot any better if you tried do

77
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:56,759
you want to do you want to go through this while I I I'll manage what they're

78
00:05:55,039 --> 00:06:01,560
looking at on my screen here okay sure sure I I don't I don't understand how

79
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:07,720
people haven't figured it out yet that one like don't lie to PC Gamers gamers

80
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:12,599
in general but don't lie to PC Gamers they're gonna like Gabe has a quote like

81
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:16,319
really really good quote about like yeah don't lie to the internet because

82
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:21,000
they'll figure it out they'll plaster it everywhere and they'll never ever forget

83
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:27,840
about it and it's just like what are you doing so so basically it all started on

84
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:31,639
a misty day fog covered day with great

85
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:35,319
headlight effects back in 201

86
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:37,599
2012 all all the Fanboys were excited

87
00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:41,479
about Watch Dogs with its amazing graphical Fidelity being showcased on

88
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:47,120
the PC they they they dreamt of nights in

89
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:51,919
future days when they could spend time night and Future Days you can listen to

90
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:54,680
yourself when they spend time reacting

91
00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:59,840
to the light effects of lens flare of AFF mentioned Watchdogs and the depth of

92
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:05,639
field and then Watchdogs launched here in 2014 total poo well total poo is

93
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:11,280
unfair it looked like but what we can say is that it didn't look as good as

94
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:14,800
Far Cry 3 which which is a Ubisoft title

95
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,639
and old and not new so talk about this

96
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:21,080
neoaf article that I've had sitting on my screen for a bit here what is this

97
00:07:18,599 --> 00:07:26,560
okay so two different modders CAD zate 24 and the worse um I'm more familiar

98
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:31,879
with the the worse have released mods which unlock original Graphics effects

99
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,960
to do this they they had to it's a lot harder than I'm going to explain right

100
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,599
now but effectively they just turned things on they had to find them which

101
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,280
was extremely difficult they had to gain access to them which was extremely

102
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:47,720
difficult and all that kind of stuff but essentially it's already there they just

103
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,159
had to turn it on which is fantastically

104
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:58,000
amazing and horrible at the same time uh it it turns on tons and tons of

105
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:59,840
different effects like uh St St I I love

106
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:04,120
how Ubisoft I'm going to go into UB response Ubisoft response is classic so

107
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,479
this is really long but it goes the dev team is completely dedicated to getting

108
00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:10,159
the most out of each platform so the notion that we you haven't you haven't

109
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:14,400
talked about the stuff yet hold but I want to I want to talk show this and

110
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,560
then show the improvements because they contradict themselves a little bit

111
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:20,919
stressing me out okay so we want to get the most out of each platform whatever

112
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:26,080
the notion that we would actively downgrade quality is contrary to everything we've set out to achieve we

113
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,560
test and optimize our games for each platform on which they released

114
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,640
strivings for the best quality POS possible I'm mixing this up a little bit

115
00:08:31,479 --> 00:08:37,839
the PC version does indeed contain some old unused render settings that were

116
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:42,080
deactivated for V variety of reasons including possible impacts on visual

117
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:45,560
Fidelity stability performance and overall gameplay then it goes on to some

118
00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:50,040
long stuff after that but I just wanted to show the like we deactivated it

119
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:54,720
because of stability and stuff in the patch notes for the mods and in a lot of

120
00:08:53,480 --> 00:09:02,560
the reports that I've been reading from people that have tried these mods also known as pretty much all of them it's it

121
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:05,279
runs smoother it's faster it's just as

122
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:10,000
or more stable and looks way better because they've done things like uh

123
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:15,720
allowing E3 2012 Bloom which is a setting ridiculous um performance

124
00:09:13,079 --> 00:09:19,519
improvements enabled headlight Shadows LED changes reflection changes added

125
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:23,880
three new camera changes like closer normal further to give credit where

126
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:28,440
credit is due this is total biscuits 25 minute rant on how ridiculous this is

127
00:09:26,959 --> 00:09:33,240
where he figures the only two conclusions uh for why Ubisoft might

128
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:37,519
have turned off all of these settings cuz he's sitting here playing the game

129
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:42,560
with everything turned on getting about the same performance that he was without

130
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:46,040
all this stuff turned on when the theory you know in your mind is that more

131
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:50,959
graphical Fidelity is supposed to make the game Run worse unless they're intentionally handicapping it so he

132
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:56,560
comes up with two conclusions number one is gross incompetence and number two is

133
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:59,760
that they're liars and those are basically the only ones that I can come

134
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:05,279
up with too so anyway keep I'm just going to let them watch Total biscuit play this game cuz he's a good guy and

135
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,640
this is a this is a pretty good video about how stupid this whole situation is

136
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:14,200
yeah so they added all that stuff they also added stuff like lens flare lighting changes civilian

137
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:17,440
density tons of stuff and there's even more stuff coming on the way that

138
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:21,200
they're planning to improve and because they've broken into it this far I expect

139
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:24,440
actual full mods to come out at some point which aren't just turning things

140
00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:27,800
on which like this is still Absolut I'm not I'm not trying to downgrade what Cad

141
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:33,519
zate and the worse are doing I'm just saying uh it could be different from

142
00:10:29,959 --> 00:10:35,200
there um then people started freaking

143
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:39,839
out because there was a softpedia article with a quote from Ubisoft

144
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:45,519
talking about Far Cry 4 saying that Far Cry 4 on PC at maximum settings will

145
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:52,839
look the same as it does on consoles so and their claim here so

146
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:55,120
their their BS claim is oh yeah yeah

147
00:10:52,839 --> 00:10:59,600
well we we deved it on the PC and then we just we just like plugged that code

148
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:04,079
into the the the current gen new consoles and it like ran so amazing that

149
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:09,959
everyone's going to have the best experience regardless of what is that as

150
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:14,440
stunning as next gen console games are starting to look no wait no that's

151
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:16,279
Forbes right so even out of the box even

152
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,920
day one we just stuck the code on the new consoles and we were able to dial it

153
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:25,000
all the way up so as a console player you're already getting by far the best

154
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,000
version we can

155
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:31,320
ship can ship also known as they went through and scrubbed their Co this time

156
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,120
took out everything that mentioned anything about PC turned like instead of

157
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:40,120
just turning settings off completely removed them and then went yeah that's

158
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:43,800
what you're getting so to make matters worse I don't know if this is actually

159
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,720
in your notes but the word on the street is that the Watchdog performance patch

160
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:51,760
that was supposed to come at the beginning of this month uh is going to

161
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:59,279
disable the hack no I had never heard of that yeah

162
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,760
really so basically Ubisoft just keeps

163
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:04,839
on digging is that is that actually like a

164
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:08,959
really good source that that's for I'm going to have to double check I'll tell

165
00:12:06,279 --> 00:12:14,279
you what I will double check right now um but okay I can go into the rest of

166
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:17,240
what ubisoft's response was um

167
00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:20,440
so modders are usually creative and passionate players and while we

168
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:24,600
appreciate their enthusiasm the mod in question which uses those old settings

169
00:12:22,839 --> 00:12:28,880
subjectively enhances the game's visual Fidelity in certain situations but also

170
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,560
can have various negative impacts never seen any of those there's a little bit

171
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:37,839
of headlight flicker that total biscuit noticed oh no he he's even said it

172
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,959
wasn't a big deal and yeah yeah if there's someone who's going to criticize

173
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:45,959
like graphical Fidelity it's going to be total biscuit it'll be total biscuit so

174
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:51,839
there's that um those could range from uh performance

175
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:55,760
issues nope uh to difficulty in reading

176
00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:57,720
the environment nope uh to potentially

177
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:03,600
making the game less enjoyable or even unstable nope and no no so nothing that

178
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:07,639
they've claimed has actually been like perceived by anyone so what they're

179
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,040
trying to save people from doesn't exist and that's

180
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:16,720
frustrating then jumping over to the Far Cry 4 thing apparently the softpedia

181
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:21,240
article um is is not a very good article because

182
00:13:19,639 --> 00:13:25,000
of misquoting and other kind of stuff like that so if you ignore that the

183
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:28,000
Ubisoft Montreal Creator that's that's when they start saying like oh we just

184
00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:32,079
dialed everything up and it looked amazing um

185
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:35,720
um that makes me not necessarily think that the softpedia article was even

186
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:40,360
necessarily A misquote I think it was just in the way that they used that I

187
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:45,839
guess that's technically misquoting but it's like it's it's still the truth just

188
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:49,440
because they quoted it kind of in a weird way doesn't necessarily mean it's

189
00:13:47,079 --> 00:13:53,160
wrong because they are there's no way you're just like oh yeah we deved

190
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,959
everything on PC didn't taste anything on consoles ever and then plugged it in

191
00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:02,279
and it just everything went to Max that's not that's not how that works I

192
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:04,120
got to wonder how the devs feel you know

193
00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:07,759
the ones that actually care about delivering the best product that they

194
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,920
possibly can that like group of Hardcore guys which are actually super badass and

195
00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:16,720
made all the settings and stuff for Watch Dogs and then just had them all turned off yeah that's got to suck and

196
00:14:14,839 --> 00:14:19,839
you got to you got to wonder and they're probably under some sort of agreement so

197
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:26,079
they can't say you got to wonder how intentionally gimped the performance

198
00:14:23,199 --> 00:14:30,160
is then if they were able to enable all that stuff and have it run basically the

199
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:35,279
same um I just I just yeah I don't know I've

200
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:40,120
had people message me telling me that we shouldn't do benchmarking videos early

201
00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:43,160
well that's the only way to get views it's one of those things where should

202
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,839
you review a game early or should you wait till the first patch well if you

203
00:14:45,199 --> 00:14:49,639
review the game right out of the gate then people will watch your video and if

204
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:56,279
you review after the first patch you might have a better gaming experience but but at the same time ship your game

205
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:59,519
properly yeah like release your game so that it's

206
00:14:57,399 --> 00:15:03,120
playable if if we if if we review performance of your game right out of

207
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:07,360
the gate that'll give people the benefit when your game performs really well at

208
00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:11,800
out right out of the gate how it should of having a very good performance review

209
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:16,880
from us okay here we go so the mod still works you just have to unpack the files

210
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:22,480
and then repack them with the new patch. datat okay so the worst mod still works

211
00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:27,720
but the patch does disable it and also apparently doesn't fix the stuttering

212
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:29,720
issue while driving

213
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:34,000
so thanks guys you just made it slightly more

214
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:37,720
annoying for no reason yay luckily that's still way

215
00:15:36,199 --> 00:15:41,759
easier than modding things like it used to be so I don't know that's yeah yeah I

216
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:46,399
guess this makes the moding community's job in general easier like imagine how

217
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:49,959
quickly they could do those GTA mods if the developer just did all the work and

218
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:54,199
someone just had to dig around in the turn it

219
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:57,920
on it's kind of like how overclocking has gotten so much easier over the last

220
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:01,639
few years you just press the OC button it's going to be like just press the

221
00:15:59,199 --> 00:16:07,000
like mod button oh yeah these are the PC settings

222
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,880
we didn't turn on there you go they

223
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:12,880
should just be on the launcher there should be like a this is made for PC but

224
00:16:11,199 --> 00:16:15,880
if you actually want to play it as if you own a PC make sure you click this

225
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:22,160
button before you load the game it's just like Okay click thanks fantastic so

226
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:25,079
yeah everyone hates Ubie and then there's a bunch of stuff that's been

227
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:28,920
going around that didn't get coted up here for some reason but I still have it

228
00:16:26,319 --> 00:16:35,800
down in the bottom uh where's that TW Twitter thing ubby Tessa oh this is epic

229
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:42,560
okay hold on let me let me bring this up because I mean their their PR department

230
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,319
in their defense I can't imagine that

231
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:49,839
they know what to do or what to say at this point but this wasn't

232
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,360
it yeah so I I was worried that it was edited and then I noticed the picture

233
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:57,839
was different so I freaked out a little bit but it looks like it's the same okay

234
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,240
so here's a tweet from Below in a tweet

235
00:16:57,839 --> 00:17:03,720
a couple months ago you said watch Do's Graphics were not downgraded do you

236
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:09,559
still hold this to be true I recall replying saying that the game was not

237
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:11,360
downgraded I still stick to that yes

238
00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:16,640
wow yikes it's like yeah Tessa this is from

239
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:19,640
Ryan Tessa you might want to put your uh foot in your mouth here I don't think

240
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:24,319
that that's actually what putting your foot in your mouth means Ryan you did very well though um but basically you

241
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:29,360
guys are all over the front page of Reddit I don't envy your PR team right

242
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:34,520
now I'm surprised they didn't get them to turn it off to be H I'm surprised

243
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,840
that they issued a statement at all I'm surprised that they didn't just wait

244
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:42,080
quietly for this to be swept under the rug where the hardcores were going to

245
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:46,880
remember it and mostly people would forget unfortunately they've added so

246
00:17:44,679 --> 00:17:51,760
much to the fuel to the fire that again I'm going to bring up total biscuit uh

247
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:57,679
but check this out WTF is Watchdogs so the Watchdogs review 850,000 views from

248
00:17:54,559 --> 00:17:59,840
3 weeks ago the was watchdogs on PC

249
00:17:57,679 --> 00:18:02,880
handicapped on purpose video from 3 days ago

250
00:18:01,159 --> 00:18:08,600
520,000 views they are letting this spin out of

251
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:15,520
control and they are adding fuel to the fire by denying it publicly instead of

252
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:17,640
just addressing it and promising to the

253
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:23,159
community to issue an official patch that turns everything back on there

254
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:27,679
is no way to fix this at this point other than shut up and that doesn't

255
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:34,919
really fix it because lots of people will still be mad or go just go fullon

256
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:36,400
look our bad we're sorry which you know

257
00:18:34,919 --> 00:18:39,720
what that probably would have worked that would have definitely honestly The

258
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:43,320
Gaming Community like if you if you shake their hand and Pat them on the

259
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:47,600
back a little bit they're usually cool yeah they'll get super pissed and they

260
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:52,640
will literally try to murder you but if you're like be

261
00:18:49,919 --> 00:18:56,600
friendsit there's been attempts well okay um there's there's this quote by

262
00:18:54,840 --> 00:19:02,520
Sebastian viard I hope I'm saying that correctly Watch Dogs can use three plus

263
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:05,039
G of RAM on N NG consoles for graphics

264
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:10,400
your PC GPU needs enough vram for Ultra options due to the lack of unified

265
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:13,559
memory who is this Sebastian vard oh

266
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,400
excellent it's like okay then where's

267
00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:22,840
the I don't know exactly where it is but I just wanted to bring up uh the there

268
00:19:19,679 --> 00:19:24,280
it is G in okay can you show me where

269
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:28,080
that is cuz it's not actually helpful for you to bring things up on your

270
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:32,159
screen no it's here that's when I'm highlighting it

271
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:35,440
okay there we go so here's the here's the quote from gay Ben here's a little

272
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:40,720
quote that everyone in the gaming industry needs to

273
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,280
remember yeah don't ever ever try to lie

274
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:46,679
to the internet because they will catch you they will deconstruct your spin they

275
00:19:44,919 --> 00:19:54,360
will remember everything you say for eternity it's like yeah yeah they will

276
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:57,000
so changing gears um EA has actually

277
00:19:54,360 --> 00:20:01,960
done a couple of things this week that are looking pretty positive so the

278
00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:11,200
original poster online tech tips.com is RI or Rafi or Rafi or anyway um and EA

279
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:15,039
says they have plans for how they intend to change the way they make games so the

280
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:20,880
original article here is from pcgamer.com and this is right from the

281
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,960
CEO although based on some of Ubisoft

282
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:28,080
CEO's statements about the whole Watch Dogs Far Cry 4 nonsense um I don't know

283
00:20:26,159 --> 00:20:34,400
does does a CEO have more credibility than a

284
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:36,640
PR I don't know is he just glorified PR

285
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:40,039
hard to say so last year EA was voted worst company in America I think that

286
00:20:38,159 --> 00:20:45,000
was wasn't that two years ago anyway the point is yeah it's happened a couple of

287
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:50,240
times so CEO Andrew Wilson says the new mandate at EA is to ensure its games are

288
00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:53,840
functional and fun at a much earlier stage in the process than it has in the

289
00:20:51,919 --> 00:20:58,600
past they want to be more rigorous about ensuring quality control throughout the

290
00:20:55,799 --> 00:21:03,760
process and they want to be willing to delay A Game's launch when it's

291
00:21:00,679 --> 00:21:05,440
necessary we have now said that there is

292
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:09,320
no alternative if the build is not playable you have to push the schedule

293
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:16,760
until it's playable again that's great um another an example

294
00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:20,640
of this sort of new approach is the beta for the battlefield hard for Battlefield

295
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:25,520
Hardline that went live earlier this month and they're saying that they want

296
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:29,360
to do earlier betas to get real play testing done at an earlier point in the

297
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:34,799
process so that when they game does actually ship they are able to deliver a

298
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:38,880
much more polished experience the whole he he says the Hollywood Blockbuster

299
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:42,799
mentality of keep all the information to yourself is not something that makes

300
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:46,520
sense in today's world we can't keep a secret anyway so we may as well just

301
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:50,320
start talking about it there are disadvantages to this approach you look

302
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:55,720
at some of the challenges that Chris Roberts's team has had with Star Citizen

303
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:59,919
where the kimono is open they're like yeah baby here's all the bugs that we're

304
00:21:57,799 --> 00:22:04,480
working on in pre Alpha you want to see this crap you want to see this terrible

305
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:10,120
code you want to see this unoptimized garbage and you know that turns into

306
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:14,440
uncomfortable stories where they'll they'll give us these internal

307
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:19,200
Milestones like yeah we really want to have it working for this date and that

308
00:22:16,159 --> 00:22:21,159
date comes and goes and it's gone it's

309
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:25,640
not there yet but then because of that the flak is not as bad that's right just

310
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:31,320
be honest with people I had this conversation with another YouTuber a

311
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,679
little while ago where they made some

312
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:37,720
comment about you know whether or not you know sponsorships were okay from a

313
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:43,679
particular company and I basically said look I wear my sponsorships on my sleeve

314
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:48,760
because the way that I see it if I am upfront with my community about who's

315
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:54,520
giving me money and for what and what we're saying then there's nothing to

316
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:58,000
hide if everything I tell you guys is the truth and what we're doing and

317
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:02,320
everything we're doing is completely above it's up to the viewer to decide

318
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:07,279
how they feel about that whereas if I were to try to conceal in some way the

319
00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:11,960
sponsorships that we have on this show that makes me a lot more uncomfortable

320
00:23:09,679 --> 00:23:16,480
where if I didn't feel like I was doing something wrong I shouldn't have to hide

321
00:23:13,679 --> 00:23:22,400
it and anyway so that's sort of that's my my take for my personal business on

322
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:29,480
the whole honesty is the best policy thing because if I lied to you guys if I

323
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:31,159
said um ASUS doesn't have a relationship

324
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:35,120
with us where they sponsor things that we do and that involves an exchange of

325
00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:39,919
money you guys are going to dig it up at some point yeah pointing at our powered

326
00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:43,080
by Theus g750 JZ which they're not even you guys are going to dig it up at some

327
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:48,480
point and you're going to throw it back in my face and you're right to do

328
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:49,840
that period you're right to do that and

329
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,520
I think the timing for this is kind of awesome because ubisoft's trying to kind

330
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,400
of like shove some things under the rug and ignoring other things and all the

331
00:23:54,760 --> 00:24:04,679
kind of stuff and he's like we're going to talk to you guys now good it's do

332
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,640
it I don't know yeah I mean there's no

333
00:24:04,679 --> 00:24:10,600
guarantees I mean this is cool um they've added origin game time so this

334
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:14,120
is another kind of new thing that they're doing I think they're what are

335
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:19,760
they offering two full days of Titanfall for free on PC I mean I I suspect this

336
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:25,360
as much of a desperation tactic to resurrect Titanfall as anything else but

337
00:24:23,679 --> 00:24:29,840
at least it's the right kind of desperation tactic at least they're not

338
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:35,600
you know trying to like that whole Fiasco with Microsoft paying game

339
00:24:32,559 --> 00:24:38,039
streamers to use the Xbox one but then

340
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:43,240
not allowing them to talk about it again it all comes down to the same thing be

341
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:47,399
honest about your marketing attempts be upfront hey we need people we need

342
00:24:45,679 --> 00:24:52,520
people to play Titanfall we want to sell this game here try it you know you know

343
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:57,200
here's the first this honestly it's a good way to do it and some people have made parallels to the free weekend thing

344
00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:01,960
on Steam and like that's fine I like that program EA should have taken that I

345
00:24:59,559 --> 00:25:05,799
hope Ubisoft does as well copying valve is not a bad business Tech no it's not

346
00:25:04,159 --> 00:25:11,480
they're doing a lot of things correctly and actually you play please God start

347
00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:14,799
working on copying valve you're bad anyways um this is this is actually a

348
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,840
really good thing if I didn't own Titanfall I would have actually probably

349
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:22,360
downloaded it and tried to play it that's one thing too is being a big AAA

350
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:26,200
we sell games for very expensive prices developer having it so that you can try

351
00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:28,880
these things for free a lot of times is helpful one thing I see with free

352
00:25:27,559 --> 00:25:36,399
weekends on Steam a lot of the time is that it's an old game Y and it's like 80% off plus a free

353
00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:41,240
weekend so you can try it and go oh okay I might as well finish this campaign for

354
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:43,320
$2 and then you buy it this is kind of

355
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:48,039
different because it's Titanfall it's a big fairly new game it's a relatively

356
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:51,240
recent game it's not a $9.99 special in you know the summer sale and like it it

357
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:56,120
happens you you get these big games and free weekends and stuff too I'm just I'm

358
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,799
just saying not not all that often so I

359
00:25:56,120 --> 00:26:01,880
I I don't know I think it's I think it's great I mean I think it's I I I don't

360
00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:07,080
know that we should applaud it too much because it's not so much a step forward

361
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:10,240
as it is retracing the old steps of remember when we used to have demos for

362
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:17,840
games yeah yeah yeah do you know how many times I played the Warcraft 2 demo

363
00:26:15,919 --> 00:26:24,279
campaign and like didn't that come in like PC Gamer or something it was so

364
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:27,679
exciting because the the demo had you

365
00:26:24,279 --> 00:26:30,360
not be able to build Knights or ogres

366
00:26:27,679 --> 00:26:34,279
but you had to fight one in the final battle partway through one of the levels

367
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:39,760
and you were like oh those are cool I want to make those go buy the

368
00:26:36,919 --> 00:26:44,600
game back when they understood demos it's cool I remember I I used to try and

369
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:47,399
get the X original Xbox I almost just

370
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:51,559
said Xbox One original Xbox magazines when I had one of those and like you'd

371
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:55,640
get the the demo disc for like Mortal Kombat or the demo disc for whatever and

372
00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:59,600
it was like oh this is so cool I have one level of Mortal Kombat with like

373
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:05,399
four characters yeah let's fight for days this is all we have some demos were

374
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:08,000
too good the uh the Halo 1 demo allowed

375
00:27:05,399 --> 00:27:11,720
you to play Blood G multiplayer oh my God which is basically the only map

376
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:18,559
anyone ever needed the whole game okay that's

377
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:20,600
cool when to hold something back that

378
00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:24,440
map probably shouldn't have done that although you know whatever if it turns

379
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:29,679
into full sales yeah I guess there's that yeah my my dad surprised us with

380
00:27:27,679 --> 00:27:34,240
our box and Halo so I never needed the demo disc luckily that was cool your

381
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:37,760
dad's kind of a badass sometimes he is okay so should we talk about the

382
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:46,399
T-Mobile yeah let's move right into T-Mobile test drive so this byon ryuk

383
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:48,480
run rukun yeah oh thank you that's

384
00:27:46,399 --> 00:27:52,159
probably it okay so the original article is from rutters.com so we're going to go

385
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:58,240
ahead and pop that open on the page here but basically the big headline here is

386
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:02,360
the one week Network test drive where they're letting anyone and their dog

387
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:06,840
actually not their dog it has to be one per household ha see how I unless the

388
00:28:04,919 --> 00:28:12,640
one goes to their dog unless the one goes to the dog a pretty pretty useless

389
00:28:09,919 --> 00:28:18,279
demo trial but that would be kind of awesome like I like Bol style like dog

390
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,960
with like Google Glass and like what if you what if you got like a headset thing

391
00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:27,240
for your dog that had mobile connectivity then you could send it commands through there so you could be

392
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:32,200
like come to the living room and if you teach it like what different rooms names

393
00:28:28,679 --> 00:28:34,200
are if you create that game and then you

394
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:41,840
have a demo of it I will play the demo and promptly not buy the

395
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:44,080
game dog Commander dog Commander 2014

396
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:49,159
edition you know you just know the goat simulator guys are working on this

397
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:52,480
already dog Commander dog Commander real

398
00:28:49,159 --> 00:28:54,320
life 2014 edition upstairs DLC 1499 so

399
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:59,519
you can try it for a week and unless you damage the phone this is with an iPhone

400
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:01,080
5S unless you damage the phone or you

401
00:28:59,519 --> 00:29:07,440
what's the other one right fail to return it within the week you will not be charged anything that's pretty

402
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:13,360
freaking cool but the big one to me I just signed up for Google Play music so

403
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:17,360
the the $10 a month all you can eat service which is just it's amazing cuz

404
00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:23,559
combined with the Sono system that I just set up um I can just be like I get

405
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:26,240
home and I'm like kids music play in the

406
00:29:23,559 --> 00:29:30,360
living room and my son dances and like it's it's the cutest thing ever that's

407
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:35,559
pretty cool it's awesome anyway so T-Mobile is now allowing on popular

408
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:39,760
streaming services like Spotify and Pandora you to stream music to your

409
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:44,880
phone without that counting towards your data plan how much do I wish that

410
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:50,120
T-Mobile was in Canada we say this so much but like seriously please please

411
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:54,919
I'm I'm I'm not even on contract right now I just can't pick another vendor

412
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,360
because they're all horrible so like you

413
00:29:54,919 --> 00:30:00,120
know there's a there's another new sponsor we have Ting but there they're

414
00:29:58,159 --> 00:30:04,880
not in Canada either know I know but they're they're pretty cool too because

415
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,840
I know they are everything's alart and

416
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:10,760
anyway you guys are going to hear about it in our upcoming Devil's Canyon video Nick asked me before I knew that they

417
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,360
were coming on a sponsor he's like what do you think about Ting so I went on

418
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:19,440
this like little mini rant about how they're like they're I think they're even a Canadian company they're hosted

419
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:24,039
over like Toronto or something our rep is based in Toronto yeah and then but

420
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:29,399
they're not in Canada and I like I I went through all this stuff and then he's like oh well that's good cuz

421
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:34,000
they're sporing us now and I was like oh well okay cool I'm done with that I

422
00:30:32,279 --> 00:30:37,000
guess put them on the W show they're not even sponsoring the W show we're just

423
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:41,200
giving them a spot because why not anyway T-Mobile's whole thing is if you

424
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,679
try it we think you're going to love it um they've also got that thing where

425
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:47,840
they're incentivizing people to break their contracts by helping pay for that

426
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:53,600
um and they're proud of the fact apparently that t- mobile customers use

427
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:55,440
69% more data than Verizon customers and

428
00:30:53,600 --> 00:31:02,159
100% more than AT&T customers it's already cut you off do you remember devil zzz yeah yeah of course he posts

429
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:05,120
all the time even on like ncx forums and

430
00:31:02,159 --> 00:31:11,600
stuff about physics yeah the physics guy know it's his son's Payton's birthday

431
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:15,200
okay I just wanted to I had to happy

432
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,200
physx to your son

433
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:21,200
pton okay that's it keep moving speaking

434
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:25,919
of physx originally posted by speed rookie on the Forum the original article

435
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:34,120
is from Tom's Hardware the word on the street is NVIDIA's gtx8 80 and 880 Ti

436
00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:37,000
are to be cheaper than the 780 Ti with

437
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:41,279
toms's uh by line or whatever the sub headline whatever the Bold thing not all

438
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:45,840
rumors should be believed and this is probably a prime example and yeah this

439
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:50,480
stems from like some random Forum post somewhere and it's just like and it's

440
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:56,120
been making the rounds and I'm going to back up Tom's here because whenever the

441
00:31:53,480 --> 00:32:00,519
rumors start flying about how much will NVIDIA or AMD's new Gra card cost will

442
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:04,559
it be cheaper oh my God it's going to be cheaper will it be more will Intel's new

443
00:32:02,679 --> 00:32:08,799
CPU be cheaper will it be more the answer is

444
00:32:05,679 --> 00:32:11,039
no the answer is just no because it's

445
00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:17,519
going to be the same it's always the same every

446
00:32:13,159 --> 00:32:19,639
time the one exception was GTX 68 GTX

447
00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:23,600
680 they blindsided us a little bit in a couple of ways number one was that we

448
00:32:21,679 --> 00:32:29,240
got a 256bit chip and they called it a high-end GPU number two was that it was

449
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:32,720
$100 cheaper than an 80 class GPU tends

450
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:37,200
to be so we

451
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:39,519
want is um the the rumors are that the

452
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:45,480
880 and 880 Ti will be cheaper to manufacture than their predecessor PR

453
00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:50,000
predecessors um this much could be true especially if the rumor that they'll

454
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:53,000
have a 256-bit memory interface are true Al at the same time it might be a

455
00:32:51,679 --> 00:33:00,519
cheaper to manufacturer but that doesn't necessarily mean that the price is going to come down as they say here okay yeah

456
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:04,760
what I'm expecting is that these cards

457
00:33:00,519 --> 00:33:07,000
might be um you know an improvement in

458
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:10,880
performance and design so the of course they're expected to be based on the

459
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:16,799
Maxwell architecture so what I would expect based on what we saw with our

460
00:33:13,159 --> 00:33:18,639
first Maxwell gpus so the 750 Ti is that

461
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:22,919
we're going to see dramatic improvements in power consumption we're going to see

462
00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:28,240
potentially great overclockability we're going to see um better IPC so we might

463
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:34,279
get similar performance to the last generation flagships but at a lower cost

464
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:37,760
with a narrower memory interface and better costs and if miners were still

465
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,720
having a crazy Heyday they might be really interested because the 750 Ti was

466
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:46,440
a very interesting mining card yeah it was but that's kind of mining's kind of

467
00:33:44,639 --> 00:33:51,399
yeah you can pick up 290s for like what 250 bucks on eBay now 200 250 bucks like

468
00:33:49,399 --> 00:33:56,799
sometimes with water block they just like yeah take it oh okay yeah don't

469
00:33:55,039 --> 00:34:01,039
worry about it bro anyway these are expected to start arriving sort of end

470
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:06,760
of 2014 beginning of 2015 but this is all rumors if we knew anything concrete

471

513
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:23,000

514
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:27,720
my own with no communication to Squarespace that it's actually me really

515
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:31,480
yeah it's going great so far okay that's all I really have for you I haven't done

517
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,560
tried to get down to like bare code yet but I'm hoping I can at some point

518
00:37:37,599 --> 00:37:43,480
because there's a few things I want to edit that are a little bit more specific so we get a lot of feedback from our

00:39:27,079 --> 00:39:33,760

544
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:37,400
work better here this is going to be pretty cool we did this a little while

545
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:42,200
ago with one of their uh one of their technical engineer guys on the SSD side

546
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:46,000
when they launched the 730 and I don't know if you guys tuned into that live

547
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:49,880
stream but it was really really good we got a ton of insight into things like

548
00:39:48,119 --> 00:39:54,119
like this guy worked with the team that launched the original extreme Edition

549
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:58,560
and he was talking about that and just the all these behind the scenes like

550
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:02,599
crazy cool things go on so this time we have a product marketing engineer on the

551
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:06,800
CPU side of things so you're going to want to go ahead and there we go uh

552
00:40:05,359 --> 00:40:10,880
check out this thread it's called talk to the product marketing engineer I

553
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:15,119
think I had asked Nick to call it um ask the expert but whatever um live chat and

554
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:18,599
giveaway you're going to want to tune in we're going to be talking about behind

555
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:22,400
the scenes how Intel's Devil's Canyon CPUs came to be and we are going to be

556
00:40:21,079 --> 00:40:28,800
giving away Two Devil's Canyon CPUs so that's going

557
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:32,880
to be pretty freaking sweet so head over to linch tips.com you know what I'll go

558
00:40:30,599 --> 00:40:36,800
ahead actually if some no I'll do it I'll post this in the twitch chat I can

559
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:39,680
never trust other people's links in the twitch chat because people do bad things

560
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:44,560
in the twitch chat I love you people but you do bad

561
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:51,319
things and there is no point denying it no no there really isn't all right

562
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:53,599
hey look at this we have uh the twitch chat is like that friend you have in

563
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:59,240
high school that you don't want to tell your parents about cuz they'd be like stop hanging out with bad people but

564
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:03,079
love them cuz they're awesome but they they do do those bad look at that we

565
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:07,160
have at least one Squarespace site to show you guys so this kind of shows you

566
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:11,400
how you can use their templates to create something that's attractive

567
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:14,960
looking without spending a whole ton of time on it so here they're using it as a

568
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:19,240
showcase for their videos but you can do a Blog you can make a store you can what

00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:07,280
yes by the way let's move on to the big

580
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:08,960
lonus Tech tips related news so we're

581
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:17,079
not even going to share the screen with this news because it is way too badass

582
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:19,079
welcome to the new Linus Tech

583
00:42:17,079 --> 00:42:23,800
tips.com do you want to do you want to walk can't I I need a browser that works

584
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:27,720
for a second are you in Firefox look at I don't know what happened to this

585
00:42:25,079 --> 00:42:32,520
computer that was like pretty broken oh okay is oh is it a zoom thing no

586
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:36,040
there's an ad takeover oh it's it was on Twitter and stuff I was wondering if

587
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:39,359
Twitter started pushing ads to people brilliant um apparently okay well

588
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:42,960
whatever look look on my screen just walk okay so there's not all

589
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,880
functionality is already in here yet yeah it says beta yeah throwing that out

590
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:52,119
there so I'm going to go through how things are kind of supposed to work so this main big slider where you guys see

591
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:56,119
GPU miners crash of 2014 and other things constantly rotates you can pause

592
00:42:54,480 --> 00:43:01,160
it though and you can manually select next or whatever if you click in the

593
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:03,079
black space um that also goes next but

594
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:06,920
if you click read more or click on the image that will bring you to the article

595
00:43:05,319 --> 00:43:10,400
there's some like teaser text that will go under the title so you can see a

596
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:13,520
little bit about what the article is about that I've just filled in a couple

597
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:18,760
of them right now because I just wanted to get the site live um so basically if

598
00:43:16,599 --> 00:43:24,839
you click on things oops there's a bit of a bug where it kind

599
00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:28,559
of apparently does that let's click read

600
00:43:24,839 --> 00:43:30,200
more oh God oh God okay well this was

601
00:43:28,559 --> 00:43:33,400
working not that long ago this was working like literally before the show

602
00:43:32,119 --> 00:43:36,559
started well whatever it's supposed to go to the article why don't we uh why

603
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:41,559
don't we click on one of these to get to an article I think it's because so many

604
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:46,200
people are hitting it oh so it's going next because that's loading on your your

605
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:50,240
computer it's not going to be article because it's lagging so hard that

606
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:55,680
actually makes sense see there we go okay so the

607
00:43:52,880 --> 00:44:01,680
article page has also been revamped the cool thing about this guys is check this

608
00:43:57,720 --> 00:44:04,040
out so here is where the person who

609
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:08,440
posted it in this case it was rafy Rafi whatever um here's where their post goes

610
00:44:06,359 --> 00:44:14,760
here's where the original Source goes and here is where quotes go it's just a

611
00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:16,760
stylistic change to what is actually a

612
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:21,000
forum thread so the discussion that goes under it can be commented on on the

613
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:24,599
front page or the Forum and it all comes together in one thing this is

614
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:29,040
essentially just a more stylistic version of browsing the Forum where we

615
00:44:26,839 --> 00:44:33,359
can feature different topics so like right now it's mostly all stuff from

616
00:44:31,240 --> 00:44:37,200
Tech news and reviews but there's also stuff from hot deals because we were

617
00:44:35,559 --> 00:44:41,720
showing the Steam summer sale thing that was posted in hot deals so anything

618
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:46,800
that's like a really big deal very topical thing could potentially be

619
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:50,680
pushed to the front page and you can see over here there's more places to see

620
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:55,280
other headlines we've left some space below the fold where we can put some ad

621
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:59,920
placements potentially but in general I mean we're going to be sticking to the

622
00:44:57,839 --> 00:45:04,599
the Linus tips.com strategy of not inundating people who visit with ads no

623
00:45:02,119 --> 00:45:07,960
matter who they are so it's great if people choose to become contributors so

624
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:12,839
they don't see any ads at all but in general we don't want to a lot of

625
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:16,839
websites actually design their website around optimal ad placements we designed

626
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:23,640
our website and then we're like wait where can we put

627
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:26,040
these uh fig out this slider down here

628
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:32,240
works by clicking side to side yeah and the idea is that big main slider will

629
00:45:28,079 --> 00:45:33,880
eventually be the the newest four topics

630
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:37,400
and then the lower slider will be the eight topics after that and there won't

631
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:40,720
be any overlap right now it's all overlapping and there's eight total and

632
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:44,160
then of course we've got featured videos so we're going to have the latest Linus

633
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:47,720
Tech tips video as well as the latest fastest possible video so people can

634
00:45:45,839 --> 00:45:51,880
check those out we'd be kind of stupid if we didn't try to feature our videos

635
00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:56,520
on our website and then this feature is one that Luke told me was impossible but

636
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,640
then it turned out that if I hit him hard enough

637
00:45:57,720 --> 00:46:04,319
um it's actually can work really well it's like this this cascading layer of

638
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:09,000
hitting it's like you hit me and then I flop forward and just go and hit Catman

639
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:14,800
and then things happen so basically trending topics is a

640
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:20,119
great place to check out whatever's a hot discussion on the Forum right now so

641
00:46:17,599 --> 00:46:24,000
we've got AMD teasing something we've got uh a troubleshooting thing we've got

642
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:28,720
Ubisoft talking about the whole hidden Graphics thing we have the summer sale

643
00:46:26,119 --> 00:46:33,000
and we've got um just a discussion about what would you guys like to become

644
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:36,359
standard in PC Hardware so the algorithm

645
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:38,800
behind this is surprisingly simple but

646
00:46:36,359 --> 00:46:42,400
um it's surprisingly simple but I think it does a great job of bringing some

647
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:46,880
really cool feature topics up to the front you just okay we're good um then

648
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:50,319
there's featured builds at the bottom I know we've been somewhat semi ignoring

649
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:53,920
build logs of the thing for a little while so we're putting it on the front

650
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:58,839
page of Linus detective.com yeah and then we we are doing the monthly thing

651
00:46:56,559 --> 00:47:03,559
um yeah yeah it's be next week I know it's

652
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:07,040
like super crazy late but we're still gonna make it this month and then we'll

653
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:13,640
be good to go in the future it's gone right now because it doesn't work okay I'll explain it okay so basically guys

654
00:47:10,599 --> 00:47:15,599
over here you just go to the latest news

655
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:20,240
our shows is a drop down that has these broken Graphics we're going to add

656
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:24,960
Channel Super Fun we're going to fix those icons all that kind of stuff uh

657
00:47:23,119 --> 00:47:28,880
this is the main the page will this is the main articles page where you can

658
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:32,960
just view whatever were the most recent articles um there's also another view

659
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:38,160
here for trending topics we're going to add another thing that's maybe a further

660
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:42,079
decay of the most recent topics but that is text so that it can be a little bit

661
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:45,960
more dense and then we are going this community link takes you to The Forum

662
00:47:44,079 --> 00:47:52,599
and we are going to add a little Cog right here that will change your

663
00:47:49,319 --> 00:47:56,079
default to whichever you prefer lusch

664
00:47:52,599 --> 00:47:58,760
tips.com homepage or the Forum main page

665
00:47:56,079 --> 00:48:02,480
so if you are are one of the Forum guys and don't want to see this ever and

666
00:48:00,359 --> 00:48:07,440
don't care about it you don't have to yeah we're all about choice we think

667
00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:12,800
it's great we think it's a really cool way to interact with what's going on on

668
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:15,440
the Forum but if you totally disagree

669
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:18,960
that's cool man don't worry about it or so that that Cog wheel will be

670
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:22,640
changeable somewhere else on the Forum as well so if you do it once it's not

671
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:25,720
like you can never go back we're going to work on a few things like we've had

672
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:29,319
some comments about navigating between the two can be a little bit confusing so

673
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:32,119
we're going to work on a few things like that like it's it's definitely beta

674
00:48:31,119 --> 00:48:36,559
there's definitely still a bunch of things to do but I'm going to try and

675
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:40,640
keep the Articles at least pretty recent for now while we're still working on

676
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:43,680
things so it's usable um and then once we go Fully live the Articles should be

677
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:47,079
rolling because that's going to be the main thing and at some point we're going

678
00:48:45,319 --> 00:48:51,319
to be uh we're going to be working with the community to have the Articles

679
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:55,160
actually be whatever the community pick so we're going to take some whether

680
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:58,640
they're appointed or whether they're however it works we're going to take

681
00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:03,720
some our top contributors and have them start being able to basically push their

682
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:08,880
articles to the front page yeah I have a few few people that I kind of think will

683
00:49:06,839 --> 00:49:12,040
already be on top of that but what we'll we'll see once that actually starts

684
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:16,559
becoming so very much by the community for the community uh we think it's

685
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:22,119
really cool we hope that you guys do too and uh there you go that's what we've

686
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:25,480
been this has been in the works for like

687
00:49:22,119 --> 00:49:27,359
8 months really long time long time seen

688
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:33,160
a lot of iteration yeah the original design got

689
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:39,000
completely like completely redone and I think this is a

690
00:49:36,319 --> 00:49:44,359
good opportunity to give a huge shout out to Catman on the forum for the hours

691
00:49:41,720 --> 00:49:51,880
of work that he did to help us build this front page um just all the thumbs

692
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:54,079
up like if I had more thumbs

693
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:59,640
yay these are my hiking boots that I'm breaking in for our uh our hike

694
00:49:57,319 --> 00:50:05,040
anyway so uh what's our next topic I don't even know do we have more topics

695
00:50:01,799 --> 00:50:07,319
uh we even cover on this show I I don't

696
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:11,240
know we have more topics so we have tons of stuff in Rapid Fire uh Steam Sale and

697
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:17,960
we can also talk about all of these things yeah let's talk about the Steam Sale so have have you bought anything no

698
00:50:16,359 --> 00:50:21,559
I think they're running into a real challenge here you and I were talking

699
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:25,880
about this before so why don't you try to work your way through the topic in a

700
00:50:23,119 --> 00:50:29,520
coherent manner so so steam sales have been going on for a really long long

701
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:35,440
time and they I don't think they were coming as fast as they used to yeah

702
00:50:32,119 --> 00:50:38,000
summer sale was like the big thing and

703
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:42,680
now there's like summer sale and winter sale and Friday sale and like every sale

704
00:50:41,119 --> 00:50:46,200
you could ever possibly imagine so now we get to this summer sale and

705
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:51,640
everybody's freaking out and posting gifts that are very old about the summer

706
00:50:49,119 --> 00:50:56,839
sale which I found kind of applicable to my point that it's it's a lot of the

707
00:50:54,920 --> 00:51:00,680
same stuff is on sale and actually for a lot of the same sales so a lot of things

708
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:05,000
that I'm seeing go up like there might be one or two that are fairly

709
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:08,119
interesting but then a lot of them are just like yeah this is this has already

710
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:13,359
happened I already have this game because I bought it at this price a year

711
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:18,559
ago so I'll take a little bit of my product management experience and sort

712
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:24,799
of talk about this one of the biggest challenges is retaining um customer

713
00:51:22,319 --> 00:51:28,160
excitement so I I worked at NCI for 5 years I was a product manager or

714
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:35,119
category manager for about three and a half four of it and um NC's sale

715
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:42,680
promotional cycle is every Wednesday night a new weekly sale launches and the

716
00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:47,119
weekly sale can have CPUs or video cards

717
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:49,079
or fans or whatever else and the idea is

718
00:51:47,119 --> 00:51:54,839
that at least some of those items need to be crazy and enticing because

719
00:51:52,920 --> 00:52:00,160
otherwise you don't generate that excitement and that buzz and that hype

720
00:51:57,359 --> 00:52:04,319
that truthfully even online even compared to because in retail you talk

721
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:08,440
about a loss leader where the idea is to get the person into the door and sell

722
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:13,319
them something else even online getting someone onto the website is a huge part

723
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:16,960
of the battle and then if they buy that that CPU that you're discounting below

724
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:21,480
cost they they might also buy a motherboard and they might also buy a video card and I mean in the IT industry

725
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:26,119
the margins are so slim that that doesn't necessarily help that much but

726
00:52:23,559 --> 00:52:29,760
the point is that lost leading works and creating excitement helps to build the

727
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:35,720
relationship with the customer because they get excited about what you're doing you look at how well valve does that

728
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:41,559
they create this this excitement in this basically worship oh god of their

729
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:43,079
sale and what happens is that eventually

730
00:52:41,559 --> 00:52:48,040
you run into a couple of roadblocks number one is that you can only drop

731
00:52:44,839 --> 00:52:50,520
prices so low before it starts to erode

732
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:54,280
the margin and devalue the product to the point where customers aren't willing

733
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:57,359
to pay more for it anymore and then you can't support your business that's

734
00:52:55,599 --> 00:53:03,160
starting to happen that is starting to happen um number two is you run out of

735
00:53:00,559 --> 00:53:09,119
new interesting things to erode the margin on and as long as there are you

736
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:13,559
know Indie devs spitting out games every week or two um that's going to be less

737
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:18,079
of an issue for PC gaming than it became for it in the later days of me managing

738
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:22,280
that product because what happened was all of a sudden NVIDIA and AMD slowed

739
00:53:20,319 --> 00:53:27,240
down from new graphics cards every 6 to 9 months to now we're looking at 12 to

740
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:29,319
15 to 18 and you can only discount the

741
00:53:27,240 --> 00:53:34,440
GTX 770 to $299.99 so many times before it stops

742
00:53:32,559 --> 00:53:37,920
becoming exciting you need before that be starts to become the price that

743
00:53:35,799 --> 00:53:42,760
people buy it at yes you need new products to Discount okay so that's

744
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:48,440
that's uh that's problem number two and then problem number three is that I I

745
00:53:46,559 --> 00:53:52,880
think I guess that's pretty much it so we we look at this and to reinforce your

746
00:53:50,079 --> 00:53:57,720
point Sorry problem number three is because of the weekly

747
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:59,960
sale Approach at NC we ran into this

748
00:53:57,720 --> 00:54:04,799
issue where from week to week the complaint was oh it's always the same

749
00:54:01,839 --> 00:54:09,520
things on sale and we'd kind of go well man what do you want us to do there

750
00:54:07,720 --> 00:54:12,200
there's no new graphics card it's kind of like when people complain about lonus

751
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:16,720
tech tips not having a bunch of motherboard videos and I go man a

752
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:20,200
motherboard hasn't been released in six months what do you want me to say I'm

753
00:54:18,359 --> 00:54:24,200
I'm going to go cover old motherboards yeah that'll work my biggest thing for

754
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:28,480
ncx would be like it would be some themed sale and then I'd be like there's

755
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:34,480
nothing following this theme but the problem with I get it so so valve is

756
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:39,240
running into that frequency increasing margin eroding and not enough new

757
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:43,319
products issue but the problem is that you can never

758
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:48,119
backpedal I couldn't count the number of times that the product management team

759
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:52,319
would get together and devise a new business strategy that wasn't a weekly

760
00:54:50,359 --> 00:54:55,880
sale and we'd kind of go okay let's do this let's do that we'll do because you

761
00:54:54,440 --> 00:55:00,920
know what's funny is customers ask for it all the time we want everyday low

762
00:54:58,079 --> 00:55:04,960
pricing and when you do that when you actually take an entire product line

763
00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:09,319
look we experimented with it I did it I would take an entire product line and I

764
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:15,200
would discount it to the Target margin of a weekly sale item and I would just

765
00:55:12,359 --> 00:55:22,400
put it up on the website sales go like this it's not exciting you have to

766
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:24,720
Discount and you can't stop discounting

767
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:29,799
once you've started doing it so you end up in this trap and that is what I I

768
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:33,680
guess we were trying to say we feel like is happening with the steam sales they

769
00:55:32,039 --> 00:55:39,559
they they still have those pull items though that you're talking about like Witcher 2 the enhanced Edition for four

770
00:55:37,319 --> 00:55:42,880
bucks 80% off that was a huge like I saw people talking about that everywhere but

771
00:55:41,359 --> 00:55:47,799
then there's also a lot of games on here that are just like yeah man i' it's not

772
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:53,319
I've seen at that price like a whole bunch of times so I guess what I'm trying to say is as a product manager

773
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:59,920
I'm telling you guys you got to be realistic in terms of your expectations

774
00:55:56,359 --> 00:56:02,119
valve won't be able to keep it up

775
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:05,200
forever I think I think I think they will but it's just it's not going to be

776
00:56:03,720 --> 00:56:09,480
like the summer sale from like three years ago it's not going to be like it

777
00:56:07,119 --> 00:56:12,559
was and people will yearn for the old days and what they have to understand is

778
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:17,799
that there's no going back to the old days there's no going back to the days

779
00:56:15,079 --> 00:56:22,200
of Intel and AMD leapfrogging each other every few months with newer higher

780
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:26,000
performing more exciting CPUs that's never coming again until maybe I don't

781
00:56:24,359 --> 00:56:29,640
know Quantum Computing or something like it's it's it's gone for now pum K is

782
00:56:28,319 --> 00:56:35,440
pretty freaking cool it's the same thing with cell phones you know we're on

783
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:38,240
yearlong scheduled release Cycles with

784
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:42,319
the big guys with iterative improvements that really aren't bringing a whole lot

785
00:56:39,799 --> 00:56:46,720
new to the table be prepared to be less excited I think a lot of journalists who

786
00:56:44,240 --> 00:56:51,119
were disappointed with the Galaxy S5 had unrealistic expectations honestly I

787
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:54,520
thought the Galaxy S5 was just fine it didn't blow me away but then neither did

788
00:56:52,720 --> 00:56:57,760
the S4 because I guess I just don't care that much but they did something that I

789
00:56:56,599 --> 00:57:02,400
thought were pretty great I thought the fact that they still have a plastic shell but the flex is much less was

790
00:57:00,359 --> 00:57:07,599
really good I just I had a different set of expectations for the

791
00:57:04,359 --> 00:57:10,280
S5 yeah speaking of of discounting and

792
00:57:07,599 --> 00:57:14,240
having room to bring prices down Apple now has a cheaper

793
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:17,839
iMac um I think this is interesting for a number of reasons I think it's I think

794
00:57:16,079 --> 00:57:23,640
it's amazing that Apple gets away with introducing new desktop computers that

795
00:57:20,559 --> 00:57:27,119
have 1.4 GHz mobile dual core chips in

796
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:29,680
them and 500 gig like mechanical hard

797
00:57:27,119 --> 00:57:35,839
drives for $1,100 I think that's amazing and

798
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:36,839
they're basically Geniuses um but this

799
00:57:35,839 --> 00:57:42,240
is this is the thing you were just talking about they can't go back now they can't they can no longer have a not

800
00:57:40,599 --> 00:57:46,720
super cheap iMac but at least they've left themselves room to upgrade it they

801
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:50,319
can add a quad core they can go SSD and they can put in discret graphics so that

802
00:57:48,559 --> 00:57:54,799
takes care of the next three generations of incremental improvements to the 212

803
00:57:52,559 --> 00:57:59,160
in lowend iMac one thing that is surprising to me

804
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:05,000
is it looks identical yeah so you can still get the like uh I have an iMac so

805
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:08,000
you can still have uh I mean I'm trendy

806
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:10,039
our our our viewer base and our Forum

807
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:16,559
Community tends to kind of hate on Apple a fair bit but let's be honest guys

808
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:18,640
industrial design costs money the same

809
00:58:16,559 --> 00:58:22,640
people who are drooling over how beautiful the 1 M8 is and talking about

810
00:58:20,599 --> 00:58:26,160
how great it is and it's you know fantastic that an Android phone has such

811
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:31,280
great design are the same people who who are going to call an iPhone

812
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:34,839
worthless when that stuff costs

813
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:38,520
money having good build quality and good

814
00:58:34,839 --> 00:58:40,280
industrial design costs money and apple

815
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:45,079
does some things right they put great screens on their machines am I going to

816
00:58:42,359 --> 00:58:48,839
buy one no because I know where to buy a good screen that doesn't come attached

817
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:51,920
to an Apple computer but for a mainstream User it's not a terrible

818
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:56,480
choice and it's nice to see them delivering something that I think fits

819
00:58:53,920 --> 00:59:01,520
really nicely into a niche I think someone like my dad would be just as

820
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:05,720
suit this would be just as suitable for him plus an SSD because I think everyone

821
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:10,240
needs an SSD someone like my dad could use this computer and it would be just

822
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:13,799
as adequate for his needs as a $3,000 gaming rig with the other argument being

823
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:17,480
that you could also build a $500 PC that would work for it as well so there's

824
00:59:16,119 --> 00:59:21,839
that Different Strokes for different folks speaking of Strokes uh hard drives

825
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:26,240
you can Short Stroke them and we didn't Short Stroke it but we did take a hard

826
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:31,119
drive and test it against an SSD oh that was I was like what is this segue the

827
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:34,240
worst Segway ever it worked though we got there we got there we did make it

828
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:40,160
it's all about getting there that's what she said anyway so unlike every other

829
00:59:37,599 --> 00:59:46,400
SSD versus hard drive test that I've ever seen where they take a completely

830
00:59:43,039 --> 00:59:49,400
sterile brand new OS put the latest

831
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,960
drivers update all the Windows updates

832
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:55,520
put on their benchmarking applications and then test an SSD versus a hard drive

833
00:59:53,400 --> 01:00:00,440
and you'll see metrics like oh the SSD took 11 seconds to boot and the hard

834
00:59:57,359 --> 01:00:03,400
drive took 16 seconds and the the people

835
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:10,160
who don't get it the people who don't understand the value of an SSD look at

836
01:00:06,359 --> 01:00:10,160
that and go yeah it's okay I can wait 5

837
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:15,920
seconds I like that I like I mean spread

838
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:20,680
out lean back I even saw some comments on our ad SSD upgrade zombie video where

839
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:25,359
people are like yeah um ssds are still stupid because um hard drives have 130

840
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:30,359
megabytes per second and ssds are only this much and it doesn't work that way

841
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:38,079
okay so but the problem seems to be in the way that we benchmarked them so we

842
01:00:33,839 --> 01:00:40,119
decided to take a realworld like broken

843
01:00:38,079 --> 01:00:43,160
OS hard drive like one that's had its operating system running on it for five

844
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:49,520
years got all kinds of crap running in the background is full it has like a

845
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:54,559
bunch of was full was full I guess not full anymore but basically has had

846
01:00:52,079 --> 01:01:00,760
different boot loaders on it like like a few of them has had virus

847
01:00:57,039 --> 01:01:03,520
REM the way that a computer get used and

848
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:08,599
then we ran we cloned that exact OS over to an SSD so we're showing the worst

849
01:01:05,799 --> 01:01:12,680
case most broken scenario for both and we tested them head-to-head and you guys

850
01:01:10,359 --> 01:01:16,200
are going to be wanting to check out the results that's going to come out uh

851
01:01:14,559 --> 01:01:19,400
sometime when is that video coming out it's fully ready is it ready okay so

852
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:22,599
it's probably going to come out sometime this weekend or early next week so stay

853
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:27,119
tuned for that guys uh I think it'll be early next week it's not edited yet it's

854
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:32,200
like it's the all the that'll be next week the graphs are done all the footage

855
01:01:29,359 --> 01:01:36,280
is shot I think it's going to be the video to show the people who don't

856
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:41,000
understand the value of an SSD someone in chat is SSD is just a

857
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:47,480
number no it is not actually it isn't this time it is actually

858
01:01:44,599 --> 01:01:52,119
not oh man uh where was that other thing the VR

859
01:01:49,039 --> 01:01:55,039
fan let's talk about the VR fan okay I

860
01:01:52,119 --> 01:01:59,480
have to confess I didn't read this okay so you're on point oh dang I was gonna

861
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:03,279
try and get you I because I I got this but I was gonna try and get you like

862
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:06,920
what are your immediate thoughts upon seeing it okay I I did look at it a

863
01:02:05,319 --> 01:02:10,240
little bit so the idea is that it's going to blow air at you in order to make things more immersive right I think

864
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:15,000
it's okay what do you think I think

865
01:02:12,839 --> 01:02:19,279
about it I think that you probably think it's amazing nope really I'm actually

866
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:24,920
totally on your side oh okay and I've I've surprised like almost everyone with

867
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:27,319
that so far but I like at at E3 everyone

868
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:31,160
saw me freak out over control VR and I once saw my point about how for VR to

869
01:02:29,559 --> 01:02:35,799
become amazing we need to immerse all senses yeah and that got quoted a few

870
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:41,480
times and I still stand by that but we don't need to be worrying about like

871
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:44,000
wind Force at this point in the game

872
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:48,240
with some like random little tiny fan which is probably not going to feel like

873
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:53,160
it actually is anyways for certain specialty like very specific that bird

874
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:57,760
thing like the bird thing where the fan was adaptively making you feel like you

875
01:02:55,279 --> 01:03:01,799
were rushing through the air okay but it's not the kind of thing that I'm

876
01:02:59,359 --> 01:03:05,880
going okay and if it's just a desk fan that sits on my desk and is just a desk

877
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:11,559
fan except when I'm like okay I'm firing up the Oculus it's still dumb cuz you need it

878
01:03:09,599 --> 01:03:16,680
you need it to be like like for the bird thing when he was flying the whole fan

879
01:03:14,119 --> 01:03:20,160
physically moved yes so this thing isn't going to work unless you like okay this

880
01:03:18,279 --> 01:03:25,839
is where the fan is so my head goes here because like it's going to

881
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:32,440
it's going to have to be positioned perfectly so unless you're like strapping it onto this huge rig that

882
01:03:29,039 --> 01:03:33,960
you're building anyways for the the one

883
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:38,119
game that it's applicable for I'm not really sure and I would I just like it's

884
01:03:36,559 --> 01:03:43,760
cool that this guy made this but I I don't necessarily think it's good enough

885
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:45,720
or ready yet for one um and it's it's

886
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:50,559
I'm more worried about stuff like full body motion capture yeah which is like a

887
01:03:48,039 --> 01:03:55,839
way bigger deal than the wind I don't know I mean I to me it

888
01:03:53,400 --> 01:04:01,200
feels like um I hope Devil's Z is watching to me it feels kind of like um

889
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:03,079
especially early implementations of FX

890
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:08,680
where it's it's a nice to have not a need to have like like especially like

891
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:12,119
remember games like gr right where the

892
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:14,119
fizx implementation was like crumpled

893
01:04:12,119 --> 01:04:18,799
paper and 10 cans on the ground oh wrecked right where it's just like okay

894
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:23,920
so that's there I totally don't care and this is totally stupid this fan is not

895
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:30,960
going to be an integral part of any game play in the next 10 years you can quote

896
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:34,559
me on that well the bird simulator thing

897
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:34,559
that's not gameplay that's a

898
01:04:35,079 --> 01:04:42,720
simulation slightly different actually but still within the same category I

899
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:43,880
suppose okay that fan will not be part

900
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:48,119
of the game play and that's that's another thing

901
01:04:46,039 --> 01:04:51,799
like it has these nice cool specifics in terms of speed and stuff like that but

902
01:04:50,279 --> 01:04:55,920
it's probably immersive enough just to shove a fan in and I said integral part

903
01:04:53,640 --> 01:05:03,000
of gameplay like you look at how long like physx where NVIDIA has throughout

904
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:06,160
the entirety of physx History had 60

905
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:09,039
plus% market share on the desktop PC

906
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:15,960
okay cards that support fizx are out there and yet we still don't have physx

907
01:05:12,599 --> 01:05:19,480
as an integral part of any game play

908
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:22,200
with the exception of like cell factor

909
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:25,440
which was never a thing it was a tech demo couldn't you like kick cans and

910
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:30,559
stuff wasn't that like a big part of the game so with the 16 people who own this

911
01:05:28,279 --> 01:05:36,520
fan are we expecting a real game developer to build in support the answer

912
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:39,200
is no uh apparently yeah to integral

913
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:45,480
part of gameplay yeah y y y so there you go I don't I just

914
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:47,160
yeah I uh it's it's it's a cool idea but

915
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:50,799
like he's he's not getting funded because of everything that you just said

916
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:55,880
um and maybe he does eventually get funded and I hope like someone picks him

917
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:59,039
up because that would be cool cuz they're doing interesting programming

918
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:03,200
stuff at the same time and if someone Picks Them Up and makes a way better

919
01:06:01,559 --> 01:06:07,000
version that would be really cool if someone picks them up and integrates it

920
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:11,799
with another piece of VR Hardware like maybe

921
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:13,000
Omni gets like a ring of them so that as

922
01:06:11,799 --> 01:06:17,359
you're walking around they could all work dynamically because you're able to

923
01:06:15,039 --> 01:06:20,599
plug them in together okay by the time we're building solutions that are

924
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:24,559
Advanced enough for that like like how you and I were talking about how the

925
01:06:21,839 --> 01:06:27,960
arcade no that's what I mean though have to be something something way more

926
01:06:26,079 --> 01:06:33,279
advanced than this yeah yeah yeah I wasn't really listening was that what you were saying basically good job yeah

927
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:36,279
okay I was I was making a straw pull cuz you can already string them together so

928
01:06:35,079 --> 01:06:41,400
you can plug them together and then they can work together to create the experience you can already do that so it

929
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:45,640
probably doesn't work that great though so if someone else what I'm saying is if someone else picks them up and then

930
01:06:44,079 --> 01:06:49,200
integrates their fan solution into a much bigger product and then is able to

931
01:06:48,039 --> 01:06:53,559
have them all strung together and make it so that like like an arcade or something that could be really really

932
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:56,880
cool all right I have a straw pole for you guys

933
01:06:56,920 --> 01:07:04,799
I'm evaluating options right now we we don't necessarily

934
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:07,119
know um what form this would take but

935
01:07:04,799 --> 01:07:12,720
I'd just like for you guys to tell me would you consider for your rig for your

936
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:16,920
for your gaming PC buying a lonus tech tips color schemed fan so it would just

937
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:20,839
be black and orange and it would be about 20 bucks potentially and I can't

938
01:07:19,119 --> 01:07:25,520
give any more details it's something that I've wanted to do for a long time

939
01:07:23,119 --> 01:07:28,079
uh we were looking for the partner sorry it's a high quality we can say it's a

940
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:31,920
high quality fan well we don't have the fan nailed down just yet so I've been

941
01:07:30,319 --> 01:07:36,240
trying to do this for a long time and basically what I want to know is do you

942
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:41,079
guys even think it's worth the effort um because to put it to put this in

943
01:07:38,079 --> 01:07:43,440
perspective to to buy fans like I would

944
01:07:41,079 --> 01:07:48,520
have to buy them I would have to buy thousands so unless there are like

945
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:53,559
hundreds of you who are like yes I'll buy one or I'll buy two or I'll buy five

946
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:58,039
this can't happen so I I need to get some idea if you guys think that this is

947
01:07:56,200 --> 01:08:01,599
uh this is something that's worth doing and you can feel free to uh to tweet

948
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:10,760
that at us as well we'll do a bit of a Twitter Blitz about this if you guys want to go ahead and uh

949
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:13,640
and tweet tweet us sounds dirty tweet

950
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:20,560
dirty to me and all the tweets were not related to the F oh wow

951
01:08:18,159 --> 01:08:27,440
that's interesting speaking of tweets that are not related to anything what

952
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:27,440
the heck is this I don't know

953
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:40,040
um I don't know wow um live live shopping us on the

954
01:08:36,679 --> 01:08:40,040
stream needs to not be a

955
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:47,080
thing someone says please invest in a

956
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:48,640
lapel mic that Explorer 3 review was

957
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:52,440
hard to watch with audio like that what's what exp what's the Explorer 3 I

958
01:08:50,799 --> 01:08:58,600
have no idea is Alex Hardy confusing us with

959
01:08:55,440 --> 01:09:01,560
with somebody else Explorer

960
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:07,239
3 I can't even think what that if that was a type of what that could be yeah

961
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:11,440
Explorer three anyway we have a lapel mic uh we did do a video recently where

962
01:09:09,480 --> 01:09:16,679
we didn't use our lav and it was because these guys took it to a trade show so oh

963
01:09:13,799 --> 01:09:20,359
basically deal with it um that's all I really have to say yeah I don't I don't

964
01:09:19,440 --> 01:09:25,480
think so no explor three yeah no anyway uh

965
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:31,440
let's move on so people are saying maybe he meant E3

966
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:35,560
sure but I don't know people are saying they have brand preferences people are

967
01:09:33,719 --> 01:09:38,920
saying they want LEDs I can tell you right now it probably won't be LEDs and

968
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:44,640
I can tell you right now they won't be cheaper than $20 um I'd buy a fan I'll buy Six I

969
01:09:43,440 --> 01:09:49,880
would buy them if they were high quality and get my PC cool my build is black and

970
01:09:46,679 --> 01:09:53,400
orange I'm down I'd make all my fans lus

971
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:56,880
Edition okay so people are uh people are

972
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:58,120
saying sort of yes um I'm getting advice

973
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:04,280
don't invest tens of thousands of dollars in fans lonus if I didn't invest

974
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:06,600
tens of thousands of dollars in my fans

975
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:13,000
where would you all be not fans of anything we do

976
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:15,560
potentially or maybe you would maybe I could have done all of this without

977
01:10:14,199 --> 01:10:19,640
hiring people and buying a bunch of equipment and stuff I'm going back to

978
01:10:17,719 --> 01:10:22,840
PewDiePie's approach actually that's something that I meant to talk about on

979
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:28,080
the show this week is news broke there was a Forbes article about how PewDiePie

980
01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:30,840
makes $4 million a year or at least did last year I can tell you right now if it

981
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:35,280
was 4 million last year it's a lot more than that this year um and there's a

982
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:40,280
there's a whole bunch of stuff going on I mean uh puds himself has come out and

983
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:47,360
said that that might be something of an exaggeration um although I so call BS on

984
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:54,159
that because I know how much money we make I know how many views we get I know

985
01:10:52,239 --> 01:10:58,560
what a typical CPM is I know all of these metrics and that sounds about

986
01:10:56,040 --> 01:11:02,520
right so and like don't even just look at subscribers look at how many views

987
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:05,400
and how many videos he pumps out and there's there are a lot of

988
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:08,880
misconceptions um and and you look at how many videos he pumps out and also

989
01:11:06,679 --> 01:11:13,640
the fact that it's basically pure profit because he doesn't really have a team of

990
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:17,960
people um or really any overhead it's it's streaming at a computer like he's

991
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:21,880
shown what his game streaming setup looks like it's nothing really special

992
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:25,960
there's lots of games but yeah aside from that um I mean I'm not I'm not

993
01:11:24,440 --> 01:11:31,600
going to be one of those guys that goes he doesn't deserve it because the

994
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:33,920
reality of it is the way the world works

995
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:38,040
is the people who figure something out and are clever enough to figure it out

996
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:42,360
really well and be the best at something be number one at anything are going to

997
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:46,800
be rewarded I'm not the number one YouTuber so I'm not going to get that

998
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:50,719
massive enormous reward and I'm okay with that I'm not going to be all you

999
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:56,120
know butt hurt oh he makes so much money I'm so unhappy um you know I I say I say

1000
01:11:53,639 --> 01:11:59,400
good for him and people people are the the other people on the other side are

1001
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:02,880
pointing out that he has done uh charitable donations and you know raised

1002
01:12:01,239 --> 01:12:07,239
money for worthy causes and all that stuff and you know I think that's great

1003
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:11,040
too I also don't think it necessarily you know validates if people make a ton

1004
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:15,440
of money and then they also raise money for charity I don't think that that I I

1005
01:12:14,159 --> 01:12:20,080
don't think that should make people less upset about the disparity between the

1006
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:26,000
extremely wealthy and the extremely not wealthy um I just think it is what it is

1007
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:30,760
and um that number looks pretty realistic to me

1008
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:34,960
I I also wanted to dispel some myths so there are people out there who think

1009
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:39,920
that um you know Google AdSense on YouTube videos is like massive massive

1010
01:12:37,719 --> 01:12:45,840
amounts of money um to put the to put things in perspective lineus Media Group

1011
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:49,159
if it relied strictly on Google AdSense

1012
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:51,040
I could pay each of the people here uh

1013
01:12:49,159 --> 01:12:58,199
about $20,000 a year after their taxes and uh

1014
01:12:55,960 --> 01:13:02,480
and after like Employment Insurance that's below minimum wage Pion pay yes

1015
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:06,440
yeah yeah that's well below minimum wage and we all work like massive overtime

1016
01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:10,639
and we all work really hard I prefer the term really hard we work really hard

1017
01:13:08,480 --> 01:13:14,560
gratuitous amounts of overtime I didn't stop working last night until like 2

1018
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:19,719
a.m. the point is that that's not the way it works however if you do get those

1019
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:23,800
kinds of viewership numbers where you look at it and I think his view his

1020
01:13:21,239 --> 01:13:28,880
numbers are like ridiculous like an order of magnitude and more higher than

1021
01:13:26,159 --> 01:13:32,440
ours then it starts to add up especially if you don't have a ton of overhead

1022
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:37,040
another of the misconceptions that I encountered was that YouTubers get paid

1023
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:40,719
for subscribers YouTubers get paid exactly zero dollars for having a lot of

1024
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:46,159
subscribers the fact that I have $850,000 subscribers on a channel means

1025
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:51,159
nothing to Google nothing in terms of money it might mean something in terms

1026
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:53,920
of the inherent value of having someone

1027
01:13:51,159 --> 01:13:57,960
who clicked and said yes I would like to hear from you when you some new content

1028
01:13:56,440 --> 01:14:03,400
there there's a value there but it doesn't translate into money at all uh

1029
01:14:00,719 --> 01:14:06,639
the money comes from the actual views so if you want to figure out how much a

1030
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:10,760
YouTuber is making relative to another YouTuber then you would look at views

1031
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:16,040
not at subscribers you could have a million subscribers and not be getting a

1032
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:18,800
ton of views like um someone like Peter

1033
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:23,800
chow and the revenue is probably not as strong there unless you know he's doing

1034
01:14:21,480 --> 01:14:28,600
um really lucrative brand Integrations or things like that so that's how

1035
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:35,000
YouTubers are making the big bucks is doing things like um Devon super tramps

1036
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:38,840
Watchdogs uh Parkour in Real Life or whatever thing there's no way that

1037
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:43,520
Ubisoft didn't pay enormous buckets of money for that for example YouTube the

1038
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:48,840
like couple million views on YouTube were not going to be worth the effort of making that video some people started

1039
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:54,000
freaking out that our our minimum wage is so high just don't forget cost of

1040
01:14:51,239 --> 01:14:57,679
living expense yeah Vancouver is an extremely expensive place place to live

1041
01:14:55,600 --> 01:15:04,000
where we live has the 10 most expensive places to buy gas in all of North

1042
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:06,639
America so yeah it's kind of

1043
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:10,719
expensive food's expensive hous expensive and Foods houses isn't

1044
01:15:08,719 --> 01:15:15,400
Vancouver also one of the most expensive I think it's like number two most

1045
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:20,480
expensive I think it's like after San Fran yeah something like that yeah it's

1046
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:25,600
ridiculous ludicrous it's expensive okay um well I I guess I'll show the results

1047
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:28,639
of the straw pole there so so looks like there are at least hundreds of you who

1048
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:33,360
would be interested in a black and orange Linus Tech tips themed fan for

1049
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:37,440
for 20 bucks um I'm still working on it I really hope that that's something that
