YouTube integration with twitch Yeah well

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:40.320
yeah I think they're uh I think they've

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:45.600
got you know other things to deal with you know I don't feel too bad about it

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.480
anyway guys welcome to the W show we've

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:53.520
got a fantastic show planned for you today as we always do every show is

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

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:03.680
document up on my computer yet you tell them about the show we have um just

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.640
general disent for Ubisoft disent I said

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:09.640
the wrong word we're just going to invent words because there are no words

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:15.360
for how disatisfied we are there we go with how Ubisoft is treating PC Gamers

00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:19.280
disent I'm full of disent um they're full of

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:25.680
disent their dis intentions are discombobulating my dentry

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:28.200
and taking real words we just got dissed

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:32.240
surrounding them with fake ones um and EA might not suck as much anymore but

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

00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:39.240
even talking about they haven't done anything with it they're just like yeah

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

00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:48.320
to support PC gaming sometime but EA's never actually

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

00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:56.640
usually they're just like screw you guys at least they're paying lip service to

00:01:54.399 --> 00:02:00.399
the PC gaming Community this is true this is true T-Mobile test drive ripped

00:01:58.759 --> 00:02:04.159
off a line of te tips ideas and we'll be allowing people to something something

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:09.160
tell you later um almost went a little bit too far and

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

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

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

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:30.000
bigger and bigger didn't if catman's

00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:31.920
watching he's just going to be like what

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:36.080
are you kidding me you mean that guy that was just constantly like I don't

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:41.680
like it make it go away he gets the credit for everything really no and that

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:46.440
my friend is how Corporate America Works kind of

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

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:58.040
it's like anyway we'll talk more about that later but for now intro time

00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:18.560
this thing works a little bit differently this week so if I bung it up

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:22.400
don't be surprised so they just sit there and

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:28.280
then check this out I I swear I'm going to like hit edel because look at see how

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:33.040
the background changes like way to go guy winner anyway the point is that our

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:53.600
stream are you genuinely like surprised

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:57.600
or are you doing like the good co-host this guy is crazy I actually I okay

00:04:55.960 --> 00:05:03.520
that's amazing you guys should be interested in what he's saying

00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:05.800
oh my God one I didn't know this was

00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:09.960
happening until like five minutes ago when you were like oh my God where's the

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

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

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:23.000
that's cool like I this is legitimate like I actually had literally no idea we

00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:27.800
make snap decisions speaking of making SN you

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:31.919
giving away mine your what the the ones that I've been testing with okay cool

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

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

00:05:39.080 --> 00:05:45.680
go all right so the headline this week

00:05:43.080 --> 00:05:51.840
all the fail Ubisoft could you have shot yourselves

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.960
in the foot any better if you tried do

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

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

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

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

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:16.319
really really good quote about like yeah don't lie to the internet because

00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:21.000
they'll figure it out they'll plaster it everywhere and they'll never ever forget

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

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:31.639
a misty day fog covered day with great

00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:35.319
headlight effects back in 201

00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:37.599
2012 all all the Fanboys were excited

00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:41.479
about Watch Dogs with its amazing graphical Fidelity being showcased on

00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:47.120
the PC they they they dreamt of nights in

00:06:44.440 --> 00:06:51.919
future days when they could spend time night and Future Days you can listen to

00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:54.680
yourself when they spend time reacting

00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:59.840
to the light effects of lens flare of AFF mentioned Watchdogs and the depth of

00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:05.639
field and then Watchdogs launched here in 2014 total poo well total poo is

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

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:14.800
Far Cry 3 which which is a Ubisoft title

00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:16.639
and old and not new so talk about this

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

00:07:18.599 --> 00:07:26.560
okay so two different modders CAD zate 24 and the worse um I'm more familiar

00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:31.879
with the the worse have released mods which unlock original Graphics effects

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

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:38.599
now but effectively they just turned things on they had to find them which

00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:42.280
was extremely difficult they had to gain access to them which was extremely

00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:47.720
difficult and all that kind of stuff but essentially it's already there they just

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:50.159
had to turn it on which is fantastically

00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:58.000
amazing and horrible at the same time uh it it turns on tons and tons of

00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:59.840
different effects like uh St St I I love

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:04.120
how Ubisoft I'm going to go into UB response Ubisoft response is classic so

00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:07.479
this is really long but it goes the dev team is completely dedicated to getting

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

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

00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:18.560
then show the improvements because they contradict themselves a little bit

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.919
stressing me out okay so we want to get the most out of each platform whatever

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

00:08:24.440 --> 00:08:29.560
test and optimize our games for each platform on which they released

00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:33.640
strivings for the best quality POS possible I'm mixing this up a little bit

00:08:31.479 --> 00:08:37.839
the PC version does indeed contain some old unused render settings that were

00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:42.080
deactivated for V variety of reasons including possible impacts on visual

00:08:39.640 --> 00:08:45.560
Fidelity stability performance and overall gameplay then it goes on to some

00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:50.040
long stuff after that but I just wanted to show the like we deactivated it

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

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

00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:05.279
runs smoother it's faster it's just as

00:09:02.560 --> 00:09:10.000
or more stable and looks way better because they've done things like uh

00:09:07.160 --> 00:09:15.720
allowing E3 2012 Bloom which is a setting ridiculous um performance

00:09:13.079 --> 00:09:19.519
improvements enabled headlight Shadows LED changes reflection changes added

00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:23.880
three new camera changes like closer normal further to give credit where

00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:28.440
credit is due this is total biscuits 25 minute rant on how ridiculous this is

00:09:26.959 --> 00:09:33.240
where he figures the only two conclusions uh for why Ubisoft might

00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:37.519
have turned off all of these settings cuz he's sitting here playing the game

00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:42.560
with everything turned on getting about the same performance that he was without

00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:46.040
all this stuff turned on when the theory you know in your mind is that more

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

00:09:48.640 --> 00:09:56.560
comes up with two conclusions number one is gross incompetence and number two is

00:09:54.040 --> 00:09:59.760
that they're liars and those are basically the only ones that I can come

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

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:08.640
this is a this is a pretty good video about how stupid this whole situation is

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

00:10:11.800 --> 00:10:17.440
density tons of stuff and there's even more stuff coming on the way that

00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:21.200
they're planning to improve and because they've broken into it this far I expect

00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:24.440
actual full mods to come out at some point which aren't just turning things

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

00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:33.519
zate and the worse are doing I'm just saying uh it could be different from

00:10:29.959 --> 00:10:35.200
there um then people started freaking

00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.839
out because there was a softpedia article with a quote from Ubisoft

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:45.519
talking about Far Cry 4 saying that Far Cry 4 on PC at maximum settings will

00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:52.839
look the same as it does on consoles so and their claim here so

00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:55.120
their their BS claim is oh yeah yeah

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

00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:04.079
into the the the current gen new consoles and it like ran so amazing that

00:11:02.560 --> 00:11:09.959
everyone's going to have the best experience regardless of what is that as

00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:14.440
stunning as next gen console games are starting to look no wait no that's

00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.279
Forbes right so even out of the box even

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

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

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.000
version we can

00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:31.320
ship can ship also known as they went through and scrubbed their Co this time

00:11:30.040 --> 00:11:35.120
took out everything that mentioned anything about PC turned like instead of

00:11:33.680 --> 00:11:40.120
just turning settings off completely removed them and then went yeah that's

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

00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.720
in your notes but the word on the street is that the Watchdog performance patch

00:11:45.680 --> 00:11:51.760
that was supposed to come at the beginning of this month uh is going to

00:11:49.560 --> 00:11:59.279
disable the hack no I had never heard of that yeah

00:11:55.360 --> 00:12:00.760
really so basically Ubisoft just keeps

00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:04.839
on digging is that is that actually like a

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

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

00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:17.240
what ubisoft's response was um

00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:20.440
so modders are usually creative and passionate players and while we

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:24.600
appreciate their enthusiasm the mod in question which uses those old settings

00:12:22.839 --> 00:12:28.880
subjectively enhances the game's visual Fidelity in certain situations but also

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:32.560
can have various negative impacts never seen any of those there's a little bit

00:12:30.680 --> 00:12:37.839
of headlight flicker that total biscuit noticed oh no he he's even said it

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

00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:45.959
like graphical Fidelity it's going to be total biscuit it'll be total biscuit so

00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:51.839
there's that um those could range from uh performance

00:12:48.680 --> 00:12:55.760
issues nope uh to difficulty in reading

00:12:51.839 --> 00:12:57.720
the environment nope uh to potentially

00:12:55.760 --> 00:13:03.600
making the game less enjoyable or even unstable nope and no no so nothing that

00:13:00.880 --> 00:13:07.639
they've claimed has actually been like perceived by anyone so what they're

00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:10.040
trying to save people from doesn't exist and that's

00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:16.720
frustrating then jumping over to the Far Cry 4 thing apparently the softpedia

00:13:14.880 --> 00:13:21.240
article um is is not a very good article because

00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:25.000
of misquoting and other kind of stuff like that so if you ignore that the

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:28.000
Ubisoft Montreal Creator that's that's when they start saying like oh we just

00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:32.079
dialed everything up and it looked amazing um

00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:35.720
um that makes me not necessarily think that the softpedia article was even

00:13:33.560 --> 00:13:40.360
necessarily A misquote I think it was just in the way that they used that I

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

00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:49.440
because they quoted it kind of in a weird way doesn't necessarily mean it's

00:13:47.079 --> 00:13:53.160
wrong because they are there's no way you're just like oh yeah we deved

00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:56.959
everything on PC didn't taste anything on consoles ever and then plugged it in

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

00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:04.120
got to wonder how the devs feel you know

00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:07.759
the ones that actually care about delivering the best product that they

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:10.920
possibly can that like group of Hardcore guys which are actually super badass and

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

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

00:14:18.040 --> 00:14:26.079
they can't say you got to wonder how intentionally gimped the performance

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

00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:35.279
same um I just I just yeah I don't know I've

00:14:33.800 --> 00:14:40.120
had people message me telling me that we shouldn't do benchmarking videos early

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

00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:46.839
you review a game early or should you wait till the first patch well if you

00:14:45.199 --> 00:14:49.639
review the game right out of the gate then people will watch your video and if

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

00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:59.519
properly yeah like release your game so that it's

00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:03.120
playable if if we if if we review performance of your game right out of

00:15:00.680 --> 00:15:07.360
the gate that'll give people the benefit when your game performs really well at

00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:11.800
out right out of the gate how it should of having a very good performance review

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

00:15:14.040 --> 00:15:22.480
and then repack them with the new patch. datat okay so the worst mod still works

00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:27.720
but the patch does disable it and also apparently doesn't fix the stuttering

00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:29.720
issue while driving

00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:34.000
so thanks guys you just made it slightly more

00:15:31.920 --> 00:15:37.720
annoying for no reason yay luckily that's still way

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

00:15:40.040 --> 00:15:46.399
guess this makes the moding community's job in general easier like imagine how

00:15:43.880 --> 00:15:49.959
quickly they could do those GTA mods if the developer just did all the work and

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:54.199
someone just had to dig around in the turn it

00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:57.920
on it's kind of like how overclocking has gotten so much easier over the last

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

00:15:59.199 --> 00:16:07.000
like mod button oh yeah these are the PC settings

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:08.880
we didn't turn on there you go they

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

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

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:22.160
button before you load the game it's just like Okay click thanks fantastic so

00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:25.079
yeah everyone hates Ubie and then there's a bunch of stuff that's been

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

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

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

00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:44.319
in their defense I can't imagine that

00:16:42.560 --> 00:16:49.839
they know what to do or what to say at this point but this wasn't

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

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

00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:59.240
so here's a tweet from Below in a tweet

00:16:57.839 --> 00:17:03.720
a couple months ago you said watch Do's Graphics were not downgraded do you

00:17:01.040 --> 00:17:09.559
still hold this to be true I recall replying saying that the game was not

00:17:05.280 --> 00:17:11.360
downgraded I still stick to that yes

00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:16.640
wow yikes it's like yeah Tessa this is from

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

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

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

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

00:17:32.320 --> 00:17:37.840
that they issued a statement at all I'm surprised that they didn't just wait

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:42.080
quietly for this to be swept under the rug where the hardcores were going to

00:17:40.080 --> 00:17:46.880
remember it and mostly people would forget unfortunately they've added so

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

00:17:48.840 --> 00:17:57.679
but check this out WTF is Watchdogs so the Watchdogs review 850,000 views from

00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:59.840
3 weeks ago the was watchdogs on PC

00:17:57.679 --> 00:18:02.880
handicapped on purpose video from 3 days ago

00:18:01.159 --> 00:18:08.600
520,000 views they are letting this spin out of

00:18:06.280 --> 00:18:15.520
control and they are adding fuel to the fire by denying it publicly instead of

00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:17.640
just addressing it and promising to the

00:18:15.520 --> 00:18:23.159
community to issue an official patch that turns everything back on there

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

00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:34.919
really fix it because lots of people will still be mad or go just go fullon

00:18:31.280 --> 00:18:36.400
look our bad we're sorry which you know

00:18:34.919 --> 00:18:39.720
what that probably would have worked that would have definitely honestly The

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:43.320
Gaming Community like if you if you shake their hand and Pat them on the

00:18:41.080 --> 00:18:47.600
back a little bit they're usually cool yeah they'll get super pissed and they

00:18:45.360 --> 00:18:52.640
will literally try to murder you but if you're like be

00:18:49.919 --> 00:18:56.600
friendsit there's been attempts well okay um there's there's this quote by

00:18:54.840 --> 00:19:02.520
Sebastian viard I hope I'm saying that correctly Watch Dogs can use three plus

00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:05.039
G of RAM on N NG consoles for graphics

00:19:02.520 --> 00:19:10.400
your PC GPU needs enough vram for Ultra options due to the lack of unified

00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:13.559
memory who is this Sebastian vard oh

00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:15.400
excellent it's like okay then where's

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

00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:24.280
it is G in okay can you show me where

00:19:22.840 --> 00:19:28.080
that is cuz it's not actually helpful for you to bring things up on your

00:19:25.840 --> 00:19:32.159
screen no it's here that's when I'm highlighting it

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

00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:40.720
quote that everyone in the gaming industry needs to

00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:42.280
remember yeah don't ever ever try to lie

00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:46.679
to the internet because they will catch you they will deconstruct your spin they

00:19:44.919 --> 00:19:54.360
will remember everything you say for eternity it's like yeah yeah they will

00:19:51.280 --> 00:19:57.000
so changing gears um EA has actually

00:19:54.360 --> 00:20:01.960
done a couple of things this week that are looking pretty positive so the

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

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

00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:20.880
original article here is from pcgamer.com and this is right from the

00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:22.960
CEO although based on some of Ubisoft

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

00:20:26.159 --> 00:20:34.400
does does a CEO have more credibility than a

00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:36.640
PR I don't know is he just glorified PR

00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:40.039
hard to say so last year EA was voted worst company in America I think that

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

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

00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:53.840
functional and fun at a much earlier stage in the process than it has in the

00:20:51.919 --> 00:20:58.600
past they want to be more rigorous about ensuring quality control throughout the

00:20:55.799 --> 00:21:03.760
process and they want to be willing to delay A Game's launch when it's

00:21:00.679 --> 00:21:05.440
necessary we have now said that there is

00:21:03.760 --> 00:21:09.320
no alternative if the build is not playable you have to push the schedule

00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:16.760
until it's playable again that's great um another an example

00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:20.640
of this sort of new approach is the beta for the battlefield hard for Battlefield

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:25.520
Hardline that went live earlier this month and they're saying that they want

00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:29.360
to do earlier betas to get real play testing done at an earlier point in the

00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:34.799
process so that when they game does actually ship they are able to deliver a

00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:38.880
much more polished experience the whole he he says the Hollywood Blockbuster

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:42.799
mentality of keep all the information to yourself is not something that makes

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

00:21:44.679 --> 00:21:50.320
start talking about it there are disadvantages to this approach you look

00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:55.720
at some of the challenges that Chris Roberts's team has had with Star Citizen

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

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

00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:10.120
code you want to see this unoptimized garbage and you know that turns into

00:22:07.760 --> 00:22:14.440
uncomfortable stories where they'll they'll give us these internal

00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:19.200
Milestones like yeah we really want to have it working for this date and that

00:22:16.159 --> 00:22:21.159
date comes and goes and it's gone it's

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

00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:31.320
be honest with people I had this conversation with another YouTuber a

00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:33.679
little while ago where they made some

00:22:31.320 --> 00:22:37.720
comment about you know whether or not you know sponsorships were okay from a

00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:43.679
particular company and I basically said look I wear my sponsorships on my sleeve

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

00:22:46.320 --> 00:22:54.520
giving me money and for what and what we're saying then there's nothing to

00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:58.000
hide if everything I tell you guys is the truth and what we're doing and

00:22:56.760 --> 00:23:02.320
everything we're doing is completely above it's up to the viewer to decide

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

00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:11.960
sponsorships that we have on this show that makes me a lot more uncomfortable

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

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

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

00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:31.159
said um ASUS doesn't have a relationship

00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:35.120
with us where they sponsor things that we do and that involves an exchange of

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

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

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

00:23:45.360 --> 00:23:49.840
that period you're right to do that and

00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:53.520
I think the timing for this is kind of awesome because ubisoft's trying to kind

00:23:51.600 --> 00:23:56.400
of like shove some things under the rug and ignoring other things and all the

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

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:06.640
it I don't know yeah I mean there's no

00:24:04.679 --> 00:24:10.600
guarantees I mean this is cool um they've added origin game time so this

00:24:08.520 --> 00:24:14.120
is another kind of new thing that they're doing I think they're what are

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

00:24:17.760 --> 00:24:25.360
as much of a desperation tactic to resurrect Titanfall as anything else but

00:24:23.679 --> 00:24:29.840
at least it's the right kind of desperation tactic at least they're not

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:35.600
you know trying to like that whole Fiasco with Microsoft paying game

00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:38.039
streamers to use the Xbox one but then

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

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:47.399
honest about your marketing attempts be upfront hey we need people we need

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

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

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

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

00:25:04.159 --> 00:25:11.480
they're doing a lot of things correctly and actually you play please God start

00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:14.799
working on copying valve you're bad anyways um this is this is actually a

00:25:13.520 --> 00:25:17.840
really good thing if I didn't own Titanfall I would have actually probably

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

00:25:20.320 --> 00:25:26.200
we sell games for very expensive prices developer having it so that you can try

00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:28.880
these things for free a lot of times is helpful one thing I see with free

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

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

00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:43.320
$2 and then you buy it this is kind of

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:48.039
different because it's Titanfall it's a big fairly new game it's a relatively

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

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

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:57.799
just saying not not all that often so I

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

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

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:10.240
as it is retracing the old steps of remember when we used to have demos for

00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:17.840
games yeah yeah yeah do you know how many times I played the Warcraft 2 demo

00:26:15.919 --> 00:26:24.279
campaign and like didn't that come in like PC Gamer or something it was so

00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:27.679
exciting because the the demo had you

00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:30.360
not be able to build Knights or ogres

00:26:27.679 --> 00:26:34.279
but you had to fight one in the final battle partway through one of the levels

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:39.760
and you were like oh those are cool I want to make those go buy the

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

00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:47.399
get the X original Xbox I almost just

00:26:44.600 --> 00:26:51.559
said Xbox One original Xbox magazines when I had one of those and like you'd

00:26:49.120 --> 00:26:55.640
get the the demo disc for like Mortal Kombat or the demo disc for whatever and

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

00:26:57.320 --> 00:27:05.399
four characters yeah let's fight for days this is all we have some demos were

00:27:02.080 --> 00:27:08.000
too good the uh the Halo 1 demo allowed

00:27:05.399 --> 00:27:11.720
you to play Blood G multiplayer oh my God which is basically the only map

00:27:09.600 --> 00:27:18.559
anyone ever needed the whole game okay that's

00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:20.600
cool when to hold something back that

00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:24.440
map probably shouldn't have done that although you know whatever if it turns

00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:29.679
into full sales yeah I guess there's that yeah my my dad surprised us with

00:27:27.679 --> 00:27:34.240
our box and Halo so I never needed the demo disc luckily that was cool your

00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:37.760
dad's kind of a badass sometimes he is okay so should we talk about the

00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:46.399
T-Mobile yeah let's move right into T-Mobile test drive so this byon ryuk

00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:48.480
run rukun yeah oh thank you that's

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

00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:58.240
ahead and pop that open on the page here but basically the big headline here is

00:27:55.600 --> 00:28:02.360
the one week Network test drive where they're letting anyone and their dog

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

00:28:04.919 --> 00:28:12.640
one goes to their dog unless the one goes to the dog a pretty pretty useless

00:28:09.919 --> 00:28:18.279
demo trial but that would be kind of awesome like I like Bol style like dog

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

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

00:28:25.360 --> 00:28:32.200
like come to the living room and if you teach it like what different rooms names

00:28:28.679 --> 00:28:34.200
are if you create that game and then you

00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:41.840
have a demo of it I will play the demo and promptly not buy the

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:44.080
game dog Commander dog Commander 2014

00:28:41.840 --> 00:28:49.159
edition you know you just know the goat simulator guys are working on this

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:52.480
already dog Commander dog Commander real

00:28:49.159 --> 00:28:54.320
life 2014 edition upstairs DLC 1499 so

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

00:28:55.960 --> 00:29:01.080
5S unless you damage the phone or you

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

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

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

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

00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:26.240
home and I'm like kids music play in the

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

00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:35.559
pretty cool it's awesome anyway so T-Mobile is now allowing on popular

00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:39.760
streaming services like Spotify and Pandora you to stream music to your

00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:44.880
phone without that counting towards your data plan how much do I wish that

00:29:42.360 --> 00:29:50.120
T-Mobile was in Canada we say this so much but like seriously please please

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

00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:56.360
because they're all horrible so like you

00:29:54.919 --> 00:30:00.120
know there's a there's another new sponsor we have Ting but there they're

00:29:58.159 --> 00:30:04.880
not in Canada either know I know but they're they're pretty cool too because

00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:05.840
I know they are everything's alart and

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

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

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

00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:24.039
over like Toronto or something our rep is based in Toronto yeah and then but

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

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

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

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:41.200
giving them a spot because why not anyway T-Mobile's whole thing is if you

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

00:30:42.360 --> 00:30:47.840
they're incentivizing people to break their contracts by helping pay for that

00:30:46.320 --> 00:30:53.600
um and they're proud of the fact apparently that t- mobile customers use

00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:55.440
69% more data than Verizon customers and

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

00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:05.120
all the time even on like ncx forums and

00:31:02.159 --> 00:31:11.600
stuff about physics yeah the physics guy know it's his son's Payton's birthday

00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:15.200
okay I just wanted to I had to happy

00:31:11.600 --> 00:31:15.200
physx to your son

00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:21.200
pton okay that's it keep moving speaking

00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:25.919
of physx originally posted by speed rookie on the Forum the original article

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

00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:37.000
are to be cheaper than the 780 Ti with

00:31:34.120 --> 00:31:41.279
toms's uh by line or whatever the sub headline whatever the Bold thing not all

00:31:39.760 --> 00:31:45.840
rumors should be believed and this is probably a prime example and yeah this

00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:50.480
stems from like some random Forum post somewhere and it's just like and it's

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

00:31:53.480 --> 00:32:00.519
rumors start flying about how much will NVIDIA or AMD's new Gra card cost will

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

00:32:02.679 --> 00:32:08.799
CPU be cheaper will it be more the answer is

00:32:05.679 --> 00:32:11.039
no the answer is just no because it's

00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:17.519
going to be the same it's always the same every

00:32:13.159 --> 00:32:19.639
time the one exception was GTX 68 GTX

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

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

00:32:25.760 --> 00:32:32.720
$100 cheaper than an 80 class GPU tends

00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:37.200
to be so we

00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:39.519
want is um the the rumors are that the

00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:45.480
880 and 880 Ti will be cheaper to manufacture than their predecessor PR

00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:50.000
predecessors um this much could be true especially if the rumor that they'll

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

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

00:32:57.120 --> 00:33:04.760
what I'm expecting is that these cards

00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:07.000
might be um you know an improvement in

00:33:04.760 --> 00:33:10.880
performance and design so the of course they're expected to be based on the

00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:16.799
Maxwell architecture so what I would expect based on what we saw with our

00:33:13.159 --> 00:33:18.639
first Maxwell gpus so the 750 Ti is that

00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:22.919
we're going to see dramatic improvements in power consumption we're going to see

00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:28.240
potentially great overclockability we're going to see um better IPC so we might

00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:34.279
get similar performance to the last generation flagships but at a lower cost

00:33:31.840 --> 00:33:37.760
with a narrower memory interface and better costs and if miners were still

00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:41.720
having a crazy Heyday they might be really interested because the 750 Ti was

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

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

00:33:49.399 --> 00:33:56.799
sometimes with water block they just like yeah take it oh okay yeah don't

00:33:55.039 --> 00:34:01.039
worry about it bro anyway these are expected to start arriving sort of end

00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:06.760
of 2014 beginning of 2015 but this is all rumors if we knew anything concrete

00:34:03.600 --> 00:34:11.040
we wouldn't be able to say it anyway yep

00:34:06.760 --> 00:34:14.599
speaking of things that we know that are

00:34:11.040 --> 00:34:17.079
concrete this is happening okay I

00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:24.119
thought you were doing this why does it look like that I swear I will murder

00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:31.560
someone that's a lower third yeah it's a lower third but it's like broken and and

00:34:28.200 --> 00:34:35.480
it's not transparent I don't think

00:34:31.560 --> 00:34:40.000
unless ah yes okay well I'm going to fix

00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:42.079
this and then the colors we look

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:47.240
horrible yeah I don't remember what the things are I think it's like hello

00:34:43.919 --> 00:34:49.720
everyone it's 1970 let's just do like oh

00:34:47.240 --> 00:34:57.079

going on actually all right so anyway Highlanders the first major

00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:32.560
collaboration between Linus Tech tips and Tech Syndicate we will be climbing

00:35:28.839 --> 00:35:34.560
Mount Elbert in Colorado sometime next

00:35:32.560 --> 00:35:38.119
week you guys will get content you're going to get Vlogs you're going to get

00:35:36.040 --> 00:35:42.320
an official video it's going to be fantastic I will be there Logan will be

there Albert of former Tiger Direct affiliation with Logan will be there

00:35:49.520 --> 00:35:56.440
their new guy Jimmy will be there Paul from New Egg will be there Kyle from New

00:35:53.880 --> 00:36:02.720
Egg will be there and Austin Evans hey hey guys we'll be there I'm on

00:36:00.040 --> 00:36:07.960
a mountain freaking everyone hey guys I'm on a mountain I love it oh he's such

couldn't do this event without auss Intel and Corsair they are going to be

00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:26.160
providing the sweet gaming machines that we are going to be using to have the

00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:31.160
world's highest elevation terrestrial land party they are providing the RGB

00:36:29.040 --> 00:36:35.200
keyboards that we are going to be using to play games on a forementioned

00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:40.960
notebooks and of course the whole thing has inel inside because that's how this

00:36:38.560 --> 00:36:47.160
whole thing works without the CPU not a whole lot happens all right moving on to

00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:51.680
our next sponsor this everyone to tweet Austin with hey guys I'm on a mountain

00:36:50.240 --> 00:36:57.760
hey guys I'm on a mountain I just want to see what he does oh I love it okay so

00:36:54.960 --> 00:37:02.800
this is kind of fun I want you guys to do something with me here and that is I

00:37:00.720 --> 00:37:06.079
I get a lot of feedback from people who like Squarespace okay so we'll do a

00:37:04.040 --> 00:37:10.920
quick run through Squarespace fast easy way to build a beautiful website it's

00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:15.000
inexpensive their service is 247 basically they're a great supporter of

00:37:12.520 --> 00:37:19.640
us and what we do and we love them lusm medag group.com runs on Squarespace and

00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:23.000
since we set it up we literally haven't touched it I'm I'm working on building

00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:27.720
my own with no communication to Squarespace that it's actually me really

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

00:37:29.160 --> 00:37:36.359
a ton on it um but everything that I've done is awesome I hope I can I haven't

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

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

00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:47.280
viewers that hey lonus thanks for the Squarespace thing it's absolutely

00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:52.839
fantastic but what I want you guys to do is I want you to use # Linus Squarespace

00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:57.960
and I want you to actually tweet your own Squarespace sites now there's more

00:37:55.400 --> 00:38:01.560
to this than just tweet your Squarespace sight at me and we're going to show it

00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:08.280
on the show here because we are going to do that the real trick is actually that

00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:12.200
someone who tweets that hashtag to us anytime in the next couple of weeks so

00:38:10.240 --> 00:38:17.280
we're going to run this again next week is going to win their Squarespace site

00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:21.079
for a year whoa yay that time you were pretending cuz I

created a free website with Squarespace so we've got uh oh no I don't think we

00:39:10.720 --> 00:39:18.680
have any new ones so in the meantime we're going to move on to our ask the

00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:21.440

00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:37.400
work better here this is going to be pretty cool we did this a little while

00:39:35.560 --> 00:39:42.200
ago with one of their uh one of their technical engineer guys on the SSD side

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

00:39:43.680 --> 00:39:49.880
stream but it was really really good we got a ton of insight into things like

00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:54.119
like this guy worked with the team that launched the original extreme Edition

00:39:52.040 --> 00:39:58.560
and he was talking about that and just the all these behind the scenes like

00:39:55.920 --> 00:40:02.599
crazy cool things go on so this time we have a product marketing engineer on the

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

00:40:05.359 --> 00:40:10.880
check out this thread it's called talk to the product marketing engineer I

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

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

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

00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:28.800
giving away Two Devil's Canyon CPUs so that's going

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

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

00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:39.680
never trust other people's links in the twitch chat because people do bad things

00:40:38.560 --> 00:40:44.560
in the twitch chat I love you people but you do bad

00:40:42.200 --> 00:40:51.319
things and there is no point denying it no no there really isn't all right

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

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

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

00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:07.160
have at least one Squarespace site to show you guys so this kind of shows you

00:41:05.680 --> 00:41:11.400
how you can use their templates to create something that's attractive

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

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

00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:24.480
are you even doing or is that too early to I honestly I just wanted to grab the

00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:28.160
URL lucy.com okay so I'm just going to put it somewhere so it doesn't look like

00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:32.800
I'm just camping it and so I'm just going to make my own random thing is it

00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:37.680

00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:42.319

00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:50.920
look why did you do this you're a

00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:54.200
jerk and that was

00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:55.960
ever not not a known quantity to you

00:41:54.200 --> 00:42:04.040
because this is cuz I teab bagged Yoshi wasn't it all right let's move on to and

00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:07.280
yes by the way let's move on to the big

00:42:04.040 --> 00:42:08.960
lonus Tech tips related news so we're

00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:17.079
not even going to share the screen with this news because it is way too badass

00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:19.079
welcome to the new Linus Tech

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

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

00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:32.520
computer that was like pretty broken oh okay is oh is it a zoom thing no

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

00:42:33.640 --> 00:42:39.359
Twitter started pushing ads to people brilliant um apparently okay well

00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:42.960
whatever look look on my screen just walk okay so there's not all

00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:45.880
functionality is already in here yet yeah it says beta yeah throwing that out

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

00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:56.119
GPU miners crash of 2014 and other things constantly rotates you can pause

00:42:54.480 --> 00:43:01.160
it though and you can manually select next or whatever if you click in the

00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:03.079
black space um that also goes next but

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

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

00:43:09.040 --> 00:43:13.520
little bit about what the article is about that I've just filled in a couple

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

00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:24.839
you click on things oops there's a bit of a bug where it kind

00:43:20.720 --> 00:43:28.559
of apparently does that let's click read

00:43:24.839 --> 00:43:30.200
more oh God oh God okay well this was

00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:33.400
working not that long ago this was working like literally before the show

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

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

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

00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:50.240
computer it's not going to be article because it's lagging so hard that

00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:55.680
actually makes sense see there we go okay so the

00:43:52.880 --> 00:44:01.680
article page has also been revamped the cool thing about this guys is check this

00:43:57.720 --> 00:44:04.040
out so here is where the person who

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

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

00:44:11.240 --> 00:44:16.760
stylistic change to what is actually a

00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:21.000
forum thread so the discussion that goes under it can be commented on on the

00:44:18.640 --> 00:44:24.599
front page or the Forum and it all comes together in one thing this is

00:44:22.680 --> 00:44:29.040
essentially just a more stylistic version of browsing the Forum where we

00:44:26.839 --> 00:44:33.359
can feature different topics so like right now it's mostly all stuff from

00:44:31.240 --> 00:44:37.200
Tech news and reviews but there's also stuff from hot deals because we were

00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:41.720
showing the Steam summer sale thing that was posted in hot deals so anything

00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:46.800
that's like a really big deal very topical thing could potentially be

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

00:44:48.440 --> 00:44:55.280
other headlines we've left some space below the fold where we can put some ad

00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:59.920
placements potentially but in general I mean we're going to be sticking to the

00:44:57.839 --> 00:45:04.599
the Linus tips.com strategy of not inundating people who visit with ads no

00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:07.960
matter who they are so it's great if people choose to become contributors so

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

00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:16.839
websites actually design their website around optimal ad placements we designed

00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:23.640
our website and then we're like wait where can we put

00:45:19.520 --> 00:45:26.040
these uh fig out this slider down here

00:45:23.640 --> 00:45:32.240
works by clicking side to side yeah and the idea is that big main slider will

00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:33.880
eventually be the the newest four topics

00:45:32.240 --> 00:45:37.400
and then the lower slider will be the eight topics after that and there won't

00:45:35.680 --> 00:45:40.720
be any overlap right now it's all overlapping and there's eight total and

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

00:45:42.160 --> 00:45:47.720
Tech tips video as well as the latest fastest possible video so people can

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

00:45:49.240 --> 00:45:56.520
on our website and then this feature is one that Luke told me was impossible but

00:45:54.680 --> 00:45:59.640
then it turned out that if I hit him hard enough

00:45:57.720 --> 00:46:04.319
um it's actually can work really well it's like this this cascading layer of

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

00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:14.800
and then things happen so basically trending topics is a

00:46:13.160 --> 00:46:20.119
great place to check out whatever's a hot discussion on the Forum right now so

00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:24.000
we've got AMD teasing something we've got uh a troubleshooting thing we've got

00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:28.720
Ubisoft talking about the whole hidden Graphics thing we have the summer sale

00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:33.000
and we've got um just a discussion about what would you guys like to become

00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:36.359
standard in PC Hardware so the algorithm

00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:38.800
behind this is surprisingly simple but

00:46:36.359 --> 00:46:42.400
um it's surprisingly simple but I think it does a great job of bringing some

00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:46.880
really cool feature topics up to the front you just okay we're good um then

00:46:45.720 --> 00:46:50.319
there's featured builds at the bottom I know we've been somewhat semi ignoring

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

00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:58.839
page of Linus detective.com yeah and then we we are doing the monthly thing

00:46:56.559 --> 00:47:03.559
um yeah yeah it's be next week I know it's

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

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

00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:15.599
over here you just go to the latest news

00:47:13.640 --> 00:47:20.240
our shows is a drop down that has these broken Graphics we're going to add

00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:24.960
Channel Super Fun we're going to fix those icons all that kind of stuff uh

00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:28.880
this is the main the page will this is the main articles page where you can

00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:32.960
just view whatever were the most recent articles um there's also another view

00:47:31.520 --> 00:47:38.160
here for trending topics we're going to add another thing that's maybe a further

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

00:47:39.720 --> 00:47:45.960
more dense and then we are going this community link takes you to The Forum

00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:52.599
and we are going to add a little Cog right here that will change your

00:47:49.319 --> 00:47:56.079
default to whichever you prefer lusch

00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:58.760
tips.com homepage or the Forum main page

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

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

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

00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:15.440
the Forum but if you totally disagree

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

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

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

00:48:24.040 --> 00:48:29.319
some comments about navigating between the two can be a little bit confusing so

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

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

00:48:34.160 --> 00:48:40.640
keep the Articles at least pretty recent for now while we're still working on

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

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

00:48:45.319 --> 00:48:51.319
to be uh we're going to be working with the community to have the Articles

00:48:49.200 --> 00:48:55.160
actually be whatever the community pick so we're going to take some whether

00:48:53.040 --> 00:48:58.640
they're appointed or whether they're however it works we're going to take

00:48:56.440 --> 00:49:03.720
some our top contributors and have them start being able to basically push their

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

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

00:49:10.240 --> 00:49:16.559
becoming so very much by the community for the community uh we think it's

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

00:49:19.040 --> 00:49:25.480
been this has been in the works for like

00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:27.359
8 months really long time long time seen

00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:33.160
a lot of iteration yeah the original design got

00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:39.000
completely like completely redone and I think this is a

00:49:36.319 --> 00:49:44.359
good opportunity to give a huge shout out to Catman on the forum for the hours

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

00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:54.079
up like if I had more thumbs

00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:59.640
yay these are my hiking boots that I'm breaking in for our uh our hike

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

00:50:01.799 --> 00:50:07.319
uh we even cover on this show I I don't

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

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

00:50:16.359 --> 00:50:21.559
I think they're running into a real challenge here you and I were talking

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

00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:29.520
coherent manner so so steam sales have been going on for a really long long

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

00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:38.000
summer sale was like the big thing and

00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:42.680
now there's like summer sale and winter sale and Friday sale and like every sale

00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:46.200
you could ever possibly imagine so now we get to this summer sale and

00:50:44.520 --> 00:50:51.640
everybody's freaking out and posting gifts that are very old about the summer

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

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

00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:05.000
that I'm seeing go up like there might be one or two that are fairly

00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:08.119
interesting but then a lot of them are just like yeah this is this has already

00:51:06.720 --> 00:51:13.359
happened I already have this game because I bought it at this price a year

00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:18.559
ago so I'll take a little bit of my product management experience and sort

00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:24.799
of talk about this one of the biggest challenges is retaining um customer

00:51:22.319 --> 00:51:28.160
excitement so I I worked at NCI for 5 years I was a product manager or

00:51:26.240 --> 00:51:35.119
category manager for about three and a half four of it and um NC's sale

00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:42.680
promotional cycle is every Wednesday night a new weekly sale launches and the

00:51:38.720 --> 00:51:47.119
weekly sale can have CPUs or video cards

00:51:42.680 --> 00:51:49.079
or fans or whatever else and the idea is

00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:54.839
that at least some of those items need to be crazy and enticing because

00:51:52.920 --> 00:52:00.160
otherwise you don't generate that excitement and that buzz and that hype

00:51:57.359 --> 00:52:04.319
that truthfully even online even compared to because in retail you talk

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

00:52:05.640 --> 00:52:13.319
them something else even online getting someone onto the website is a huge part

00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:16.960
of the battle and then if they buy that that CPU that you're discounting below

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

00:52:20.160 --> 00:52:26.119
the margins are so slim that that doesn't necessarily help that much but

00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:29.760
the point is that lost leading works and creating excitement helps to build the

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

00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:41.559
they create this this excitement in this basically worship oh god of their

00:52:38.440 --> 00:52:43.079
sale and what happens is that eventually

00:52:41.559 --> 00:52:48.040
you run into a couple of roadblocks number one is that you can only drop

00:52:44.839 --> 00:52:50.520
prices so low before it starts to erode

00:52:48.040 --> 00:52:54.280
the margin and devalue the product to the point where customers aren't willing

00:52:52.200 --> 00:52:57.359
to pay more for it anymore and then you can't support your business that's

00:52:55.599 --> 00:53:03.160
starting to happen that is starting to happen um number two is you run out of

00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:09.119
new interesting things to erode the margin on and as long as there are you

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

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

00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:22.280
that product because what happened was all of a sudden NVIDIA and AMD slowed

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

00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:29.319
15 to 18 and you can only discount the

00:53:27.240 --> 00:53:34.440
GTX 770 to $299.99 so many times before it stops

00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:37.920
becoming exciting you need before that be starts to become the price that

00:53:35.799 --> 00:53:42.760
people buy it at yes you need new products to Discount okay so that's

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

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

00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:57.720
point Sorry problem number three is because of the weekly

00:53:54.280 --> 00:53:59.960
sale Approach at NC we ran into this

00:53:57.720 --> 00:54:04.799
issue where from week to week the complaint was oh it's always the same

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

00:54:07.720 --> 00:54:12.200
there's no new graphics card it's kind of like when people complain about lonus

00:54:11.040 --> 00:54:16.720
tech tips not having a bunch of motherboard videos and I go man a

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

00:54:18.359 --> 00:54:24.200
I'm going to go cover old motherboards yeah that'll work my biggest thing for

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

00:54:26.160 --> 00:54:34.480
nothing following this theme but the problem with I get it so so valve is

00:54:31.920 --> 00:54:39.240
running into that frequency increasing margin eroding and not enough new

00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:43.319
products issue but the problem is that you can never

00:54:40.520 --> 00:54:48.119
backpedal I couldn't count the number of times that the product management team

00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:52.319
would get together and devise a new business strategy that wasn't a weekly

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

00:54:54.440 --> 00:55:00.920
know what's funny is customers ask for it all the time we want everyday low

00:54:58.079 --> 00:55:04.960
pricing and when you do that when you actually take an entire product line

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

00:55:07.040 --> 00:55:15.200
would discount it to the Target margin of a weekly sale item and I would just

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

00:55:18.480 --> 00:55:24.720
Discount and you can't stop discounting

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

00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:33.680
guess we were trying to say we feel like is happening with the steam sales they

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

00:55:37.319 --> 00:55:42.880
bucks 80% off that was a huge like I saw people talking about that everywhere but

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

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

00:55:51.760 --> 00:55:59.920
I'm telling you guys you got to be realistic in terms of your expectations

00:55:56.359 --> 00:56:02.119
valve won't be able to keep it up

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

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

00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:12.559
was and people will yearn for the old days and what they have to understand is

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

00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:22.200
of Intel and AMD leapfrogging each other every few months with newer higher

00:56:19.920 --> 00:56:26.000
performing more exciting CPUs that's never coming again until maybe I don't

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

00:56:28.319 --> 00:56:35.440
pretty freaking cool it's the same thing with cell phones you know we're on

00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:38.240
yearlong scheduled release Cycles with

00:56:35.440 --> 00:56:42.319
the big guys with iterative improvements that really aren't bringing a whole lot

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

00:56:44.240 --> 00:56:51.119
were disappointed with the Galaxy S5 had unrealistic expectations honestly I

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

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

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

00:57:00.359 --> 00:57:07.599
really good I just I had a different set of expectations for the

00:57:04.359 --> 00:57:10.280
S5 yeah speaking of of discounting and

00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:14.240
having room to bring prices down Apple now has a cheaper

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

00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:23.640
it's amazing that Apple gets away with introducing new desktop computers that

00:57:20.559 --> 00:57:27.119
have 1.4 GHz mobile dual core chips in

00:57:23.640 --> 00:57:29.680
them and 500 gig like mechanical hard

00:57:27.119 --> 00:57:35.839
drives for $1,100 I think that's amazing and

00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:36.839
they're basically Geniuses um but this

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

00:57:40.599 --> 00:57:46.720
super cheap iMac but at least they've left themselves room to upgrade it they

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

00:57:48.559 --> 00:57:54.799
takes care of the next three generations of incremental improvements to the 212

00:57:52.559 --> 00:57:59.160
in lowend iMac one thing that is surprising to me

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

00:58:01.480 --> 00:58:08.000
you can still have uh I mean I'm trendy

00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:10.039
our our our viewer base and our Forum

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

00:58:13.480 --> 00:58:18.640
industrial design costs money the same

00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:22.640
people who are drooling over how beautiful the 1 M8 is and talking about

00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:26.160
how great it is and it's you know fantastic that an Android phone has such

00:58:24.680 --> 00:58:31.280
great design are the same people who who are going to call an iPhone

00:58:27.720 --> 00:58:34.839
worthless when that stuff costs

00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:38.520
money having good build quality and good

00:58:34.839 --> 00:58:40.280
industrial design costs money and apple

00:58:38.520 --> 00:58:45.079
does some things right they put great screens on their machines am I going to

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

00:58:46.760 --> 00:58:51.920
to an Apple computer but for a mainstream User it's not a terrible

00:58:50.680 --> 00:58:56.480
choice and it's nice to see them delivering something that I think fits

00:58:53.920 --> 00:59:01.520
really nicely into a niche I think someone like my dad would be just as

00:58:59.680 --> 00:59:05.720
suit this would be just as suitable for him plus an SSD because I think everyone

00:59:03.440 --> 00:59:10.240
needs an SSD someone like my dad could use this computer and it would be just

00:59:07.880 --> 00:59:13.799
as adequate for his needs as a $3,000 gaming rig with the other argument being

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

00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:21.839
that Different Strokes for different folks speaking of Strokes uh hard drives

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

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

00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:34.240
worst Segway ever it worked though we got there we got there we did make it

00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:40.160
it's all about getting there that's what she said anyway so unlike every other

00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:46.400
SSD versus hard drive test that I've ever seen where they take a completely

00:59:43.039 --> 00:59:49.400
sterile brand new OS put the latest

00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:50.960
drivers update all the Windows updates

00:59:49.400 --> 00:59:55.520
put on their benchmarking applications and then test an SSD versus a hard drive

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

00:59:57.359 --> 01:00:03.400
drive took 16 seconds and the the people

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

01:00:06.359 --> 01:00:10.160
that and go yeah it's okay I can wait 5

01:00:10.280 --> 01:00:15.920
seconds I like that I like I mean spread

01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:20.680
out lean back I even saw some comments on our ad SSD upgrade zombie video where

01:00:18.760 --> 01:00:25.359
people are like yeah um ssds are still stupid because um hard drives have 130

01:00:23.680 --> 01:00:30.359
megabytes per second and ssds are only this much and it doesn't work that way

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

01:00:33.839 --> 01:00:40.119
decided to take a realworld like broken

01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:43.160
OS hard drive like one that's had its operating system running on it for five

01:00:41.640 --> 01:00:49.520
years got all kinds of crap running in the background is full it has like a

01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:54.559
bunch of was full was full I guess not full anymore but basically has had

01:00:52.079 --> 01:01:00.760
different boot loaders on it like like a few of them has had virus

01:00:57.039 --> 01:01:03.520
REM the way that a computer get used and

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

01:01:05.799 --> 01:01:12.680
case most broken scenario for both and we tested them head-to-head and you guys

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

01:01:14.559 --> 01:01:19.400
sometime when is that video coming out it's fully ready is it ready okay so

01:01:18.200 --> 01:01:22.599
it's probably going to come out sometime this weekend or early next week so stay

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

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

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

01:01:34.760 --> 01:01:41.000
understand the value of an SSD someone in chat is SSD is just a

01:01:38.680 --> 01:01:47.480
number no it is not actually it isn't this time it is actually

01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:52.119
not oh man uh where was that other thing the VR

01:01:49.039 --> 01:01:55.039
fan let's talk about the VR fan okay I

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

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

01:02:01.760 --> 01:02:06.920
what are your immediate thoughts upon seeing it okay I I did look at it a

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

01:02:09.520 --> 01:02:15.000
it's okay what do you think I think

01:02:12.839 --> 01:02:19.279
about it I think that you probably think it's amazing nope really I'm actually

01:02:17.240 --> 01:02:24.920
totally on your side oh okay and I've I've surprised like almost everyone with

01:02:21.160 --> 01:02:27.319
that so far but I like at at E3 everyone

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

01:02:29.559 --> 01:02:35.799
become amazing we need to immerse all senses yeah and that got quoted a few

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

01:02:38.480 --> 01:02:44.000
wind Force at this point in the game

01:02:41.480 --> 01:02:48.240
with some like random little tiny fan which is probably not going to feel like

01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:53.160
it actually is anyways for certain specialty like very specific that bird

01:02:51.400 --> 01:02:57.760
thing like the bird thing where the fan was adaptively making you feel like you

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

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

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

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

01:03:14.119 --> 01:03:20.160
physically moved yes so this thing isn't going to work unless you like okay this

01:03:18.279 --> 01:03:25.839
is where the fan is so my head goes here because like it's going to

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

01:03:29.039 --> 01:03:33.960
you're building anyways for the the one

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

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

01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:45.720
or ready yet for one um and it's it's

01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:50.559
I'm more worried about stuff like full body motion capture yeah which is like a

01:03:48.039 --> 01:03:55.839
way bigger deal than the wind I don't know I mean I to me it

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

01:03:58.200 --> 01:04:03.079
especially early implementations of FX

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

01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:12.119
remember games like gr right where the

01:04:08.680 --> 01:04:14.119
fizx implementation was like crumpled

01:04:12.119 --> 01:04:18.799
paper and 10 cans on the ground oh wrecked right where it's just like okay

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

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

01:04:27.640 --> 01:04:34.559
me on that well the bird simulator thing

01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:34.559
that's not gameplay that's a

01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:42.720
simulation slightly different actually but still within the same category I

01:04:39.200 --> 01:04:43.880
suppose okay that fan will not be part

01:04:42.720 --> 01:04:48.119
of the game play and that's that's another thing

01:04:46.039 --> 01:04:51.799
like it has these nice cool specifics in terms of speed and stuff like that but

01:04:50.279 --> 01:04:55.920
it's probably immersive enough just to shove a fan in and I said integral part

01:04:53.640 --> 01:05:03.000
of gameplay like you look at how long like physx where NVIDIA has throughout

01:04:59.640 --> 01:05:06.160
the entirety of physx History had 60

01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:09.039
plus% market share on the desktop PC

01:05:06.160 --> 01:05:15.960
okay cards that support fizx are out there and yet we still don't have physx

01:05:12.599 --> 01:05:19.480
as an integral part of any game play

01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:22.200
with the exception of like cell factor

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

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

01:05:28.279 --> 01:05:36.520
fan are we expecting a real game developer to build in support the answer

01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:39.200
is no uh apparently yeah to integral

01:05:36.520 --> 01:05:45.480
part of gameplay yeah y y y so there you go I don't I just

01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:47.160
yeah I uh it's it's it's a cool idea but

01:05:45.480 --> 01:05:50.799
like he's he's not getting funded because of everything that you just said

01:05:49.480 --> 01:05:55.880
um and maybe he does eventually get funded and I hope like someone picks him

01:05:53.520 --> 01:05:59.039
up because that would be cool cuz they're doing interesting programming

01:05:57.240 --> 01:06:03.200
stuff at the same time and if someone Picks Them Up and makes a way better

01:06:01.559 --> 01:06:07.000
version that would be really cool if someone picks them up and integrates it

01:06:04.720 --> 01:06:11.799
with another piece of VR Hardware like maybe

01:06:08.400 --> 01:06:13.000
Omni gets like a ring of them so that as

01:06:11.799 --> 01:06:17.359
you're walking around they could all work dynamically because you're able to

01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:20.599
plug them in together okay by the time we're building solutions that are

01:06:18.760 --> 01:06:24.559
Advanced enough for that like like how you and I were talking about how the

01:06:21.839 --> 01:06:27.960
arcade no that's what I mean though have to be something something way more

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

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

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

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

01:06:44.079 --> 01:06:49.200
integrates their fan solution into a much bigger product and then is able to

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

01:06:51.880 --> 01:06:56.880
cool all right I have a straw pole for you guys

01:06:56.920 --> 01:07:04.799
I'm evaluating options right now we we don't necessarily

01:07:01.520 --> 01:07:07.119
know um what form this would take but

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

01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:16.920
for your gaming PC buying a lonus tech tips color schemed fan so it would just

01:07:14.880 --> 01:07:20.839
be black and orange and it would be about 20 bucks potentially and I can't

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

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

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

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

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

01:07:38.079 --> 01:07:43.440
perspective to to buy fans like I would

01:07:41.079 --> 01:07:48.520
have to buy them I would have to buy thousands so unless there are like

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

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

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

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

01:08:06.640 --> 01:08:13.640
and tweet tweet us sounds dirty tweet

01:08:10.760 --> 01:08:20.560
dirty to me and all the tweets were not related to the F oh wow

01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:27.440
that's interesting speaking of tweets that are not related to anything what

01:08:23.120 --> 01:08:27.440
the heck is this I don't know

01:08:29.040 --> 01:08:40.040
um I don't know wow um live live shopping us on the

01:08:36.679 --> 01:08:40.040
stream needs to not be a

01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:47.080
thing someone says please invest in a

01:08:44.040 --> 01:08:48.640
lapel mic that Explorer 3 review was

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

01:08:50.799 --> 01:08:58.600
have no idea is Alex Hardy confusing us with

01:08:55.440 --> 01:09:01.560
with somebody else Explorer

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

01:09:04.520 --> 01:09:11.440
Explorer three anyway we have a lapel mic uh we did do a video recently where

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

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

01:09:19.440 --> 01:09:25.480
think so no explor three yeah no anyway uh

01:09:23.520 --> 01:09:31.440
let's move on so people are saying maybe he meant E3

01:09:28.560 --> 01:09:35.560
sure but I don't know people are saying they have brand preferences people are

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

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

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

01:09:46.679 --> 01:09:53.400
orange I'm down I'd make all my fans lus

01:09:49.880 --> 01:09:56.880
Edition okay so people are uh people are

01:09:53.400 --> 01:09:58.120
saying sort of yes um I'm getting advice

01:09:56.880 --> 01:10:04.280
don't invest tens of thousands of dollars in fans lonus if I didn't invest

01:10:01.280 --> 01:10:06.600
tens of thousands of dollars in my fans

01:10:04.280 --> 01:10:13.000
where would you all be not fans of anything we do

01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:15.560
potentially or maybe you would maybe I could have done all of this without

01:10:14.199 --> 01:10:19.640
hiring people and buying a bunch of equipment and stuff I'm going back to

01:10:17.719 --> 01:10:22.840
PewDiePie's approach actually that's something that I meant to talk about on

01:10:21.000 --> 01:10:28.080
the show this week is news broke there was a Forbes article about how PewDiePie

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

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

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

01:10:38.040 --> 01:10:47.360
said that that might be something of an exaggeration um although I so call BS on

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

01:10:52.239 --> 01:10:58.560
what a typical CPM is I know all of these metrics and that sounds about

01:10:56.040 --> 01:11:02.520
right so and like don't even just look at subscribers look at how many views

01:11:00.120 --> 01:11:05.400
and how many videos he pumps out and there's there are a lot of

01:11:03.600 --> 01:11:08.880
misconceptions um and and you look at how many videos he pumps out and also

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

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

01:11:16.560 --> 01:11:21.880
shown what his game streaming setup looks like it's nothing really special

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

01:11:24.440 --> 01:11:31.600
going to be one of those guys that goes he doesn't deserve it because the

01:11:27.920 --> 01:11:33.920
reality of it is the way the world works

01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:38.040
is the people who figure something out and are clever enough to figure it out

01:11:35.960 --> 01:11:42.360
really well and be the best at something be number one at anything are going to

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

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

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

01:11:53.639 --> 01:11:59.400
good for him and people people are the the other people on the other side are

01:11:57.360 --> 01:12:02.880
pointing out that he has done uh charitable donations and you know raised

01:12:01.239 --> 01:12:07.239
money for worthy causes and all that stuff and you know I think that's great

01:12:04.600 --> 01:12:11.040
too I also don't think it necessarily you know validates if people make a ton

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

01:12:14.159 --> 01:12:20.080
don't think that should make people less upset about the disparity between the

01:12:18.360 --> 01:12:26.000
extremely wealthy and the extremely not wealthy um I just think it is what it is

01:12:23.840 --> 01:12:30.760
and um that number looks pretty realistic to me

01:12:28.120 --> 01:12:34.960
I I also wanted to dispel some myths so there are people out there who think

01:12:32.560 --> 01:12:39.920
that um you know Google AdSense on YouTube videos is like massive massive

01:12:37.719 --> 01:12:45.840
amounts of money um to put the to put things in perspective lineus Media Group

01:12:42.280 --> 01:12:49.159
if it relied strictly on Google AdSense

01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:51.040
I could pay each of the people here uh

01:12:49.159 --> 01:12:58.199
about $20,000 a year after their taxes and uh

01:12:55.960 --> 01:13:02.480
and after like Employment Insurance that's below minimum wage Pion pay yes

01:13:00.360 --> 01:13:06.440
yeah yeah that's well below minimum wage and we all work like massive overtime

01:13:04.440 --> 01:13:10.639
and we all work really hard I prefer the term really hard we work really hard

01:13:08.480 --> 01:13:14.560
gratuitous amounts of overtime I didn't stop working last night until like 2

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

01:13:17.840 --> 01:13:23.800
kinds of viewership numbers where you look at it and I think his view his

01:13:21.239 --> 01:13:28.880
numbers are like ridiculous like an order of magnitude and more higher than

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

01:13:30.400 --> 01:13:37.040
another of the misconceptions that I encountered was that YouTubers get paid

01:13:34.920 --> 01:13:40.719
for subscribers YouTubers get paid exactly zero dollars for having a lot of

01:13:39.080 --> 01:13:46.159
subscribers the fact that I have $850,000 subscribers on a channel means

01:13:43.800 --> 01:13:51.159
nothing to Google nothing in terms of money it might mean something in terms

01:13:48.120 --> 01:13:53.920
of the inherent value of having someone

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

01:13:56.440 --> 01:14:03.400
there there's a value there but it doesn't translate into money at all uh

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

01:14:04.880 --> 01:14:10.760
YouTuber is making relative to another YouTuber then you would look at views

01:14:09.080 --> 01:14:16.040
not at subscribers you could have a million subscribers and not be getting a

01:14:12.840 --> 01:14:18.800
ton of views like um someone like Peter

01:14:16.040 --> 01:14:23.800
chow and the revenue is probably not as strong there unless you know he's doing

01:14:21.480 --> 01:14:28.600
um really lucrative brand Integrations or things like that so that's how

01:14:26.040 --> 01:14:35.000
YouTubers are making the big bucks is doing things like um Devon super tramps

01:14:32.560 --> 01:14:38.840
Watchdogs uh Parkour in Real Life or whatever thing there's no way that

01:14:36.840 --> 01:14:43.520
Ubisoft didn't pay enormous buckets of money for that for example YouTube the

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

01:14:46.760 --> 01:14:54.000
freaking out that our our minimum wage is so high just don't forget cost of

01:14:51.239 --> 01:14:57.679
living expense yeah Vancouver is an extremely expensive place place to live

01:14:55.600 --> 01:15:04.000
where we live has the 10 most expensive places to buy gas in all of North

01:14:59.840 --> 01:15:06.639
America so yeah it's kind of

01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:10.719
expensive food's expensive hous expensive and Foods houses isn't

01:15:08.719 --> 01:15:15.400
Vancouver also one of the most expensive I think it's like number two most

01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:20.480
expensive I think it's like after San Fran yeah something like that yeah it's

01:15:17.520 --> 01:15:25.600
ridiculous ludicrous it's expensive okay um well I I guess I'll show the results

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

01:15:27.360 --> 01:15:33.360
would be interested in a black and orange Linus Tech tips themed fan for

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

01:15:34.760 --> 01:15:41.639
