1
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:09,719
welcome to the W show guys we are in

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:11,480
HD woo 2013 I know right it's like we've

3
00:00:09,719 --> 00:00:16,240
caught up to the entire rest of the internet and uh actually here I should

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:21,359
be monitoring here I don't oh what only one of them is plugged in because we

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:23,039
have relocated the entire setup of all

6
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:26,199
the gear and everything and we're sorry we're a little bit late but we did end

7
00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:30,199
up sort of having some technical difficulties we only forgot one small

8
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:34,440
adapter which for anyone who's ever relocated a bunch of tech crap one small

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:38,719
adapter is not too bad it's not bad and unfortunately I have no tech gear at my

10
00:00:36,879 --> 00:00:42,719
house anymore it's all at lus Media Group headquarters so we don't have

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,280
anything but what we do have is a fantastic show for you guys today so if

12
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:50,680
you've been sitting on the twitch Channel then you'll have probably seen

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:54,879
this already in the video introduction that we upload to Youtube that I

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:01:01,879
normally record locally locally and then upload but at any rate Windows Live

15
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:04,600
sorry do it live do it live ah Windows 8

16
00:01:01,879 --> 00:01:07,960
is no longer permitted on hardware bot you can't Benchmark competitively on

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,759
Windows 8 so we're going to tell you more about that later uh space glasses

18
00:01:10,759 --> 00:01:16,119
space glasses they're crazy you they can simulate things that you touch in midair

19
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:21,680
are you the only one calling them space glasses no the link is to space glasses

20
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:25,560
look space glasses website I didn't even notice like I was looking at the company

21
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:29,159
name I was watching the videos about it I was like where did he get Space

22
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:34,040
glasses from space glasses although what's funny about their company logo

23
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:37,000
and it okay okay this is okay okay no let's get to our topics first and then

24
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:42,600
we'll talk about that later but remind me Maxwell is is rumored to release in

25
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,920
quarter 1 of 2014 which might make NVIDIA look a little bit scared at the

26
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:50,000
whole volcanic islands thing coming out because remember guys the way that AMD

27
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:54,439
and NVIDIA control information if there's a leak they wanted there to be a

28
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:59,479
leak pretty much they're so tight about that stuff so if they're leaking hey we

29
00:01:57,039 --> 00:02:02,439
got stuff coming it might be because they

30
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,079
want to talk about how you should probably not quite run out and buy an

31
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:10,039
AMD graphics card just yet please uh so that's that could be very interesting

32
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
the graphics war is heating up again it's exciting um speaking of exciting

33
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:20,879
things if you are Microsoft you are either excited or not excited Steve

34
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:24,280
Balmer is retiring he's giving an awful

35
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:26,959
long lead time so he's saying sometime

36
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:30,400
in the next 12 months he will be retiring um but I mean that's

37
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:35,239
appropriate given that they haven't picked a successor yet and you know it's

38
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:39,879
uh you got to respect the guy for being willing to stick it out as much as an

39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,760
entire year more y uh before just sort of leaving them defend for themselves so

40
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:48,800
we're going to have more on that soon but before we do that let's kick things

41
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:53,030
up a notch with the intro which I will have to lean over

42
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,210
here to do

43
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:26,959
so guys uh last week was a bit of a fiasco with our whole Squarespace thing

44
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:29,120
but this week is not Squarespace is the

45
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:35,519
easy way to create a beautiful website just visit squ space.com Linus and use

46
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:37,120
the offer code Linus 8 for 10% off new

47
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:40,720
accounts you're going to want to check this out and we actually have something

48
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:45,080
really cool to show you guys later on that I have had diesel the intern

49
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,799
working on throughout this week using Squarespace so we have a bit of an

50
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:54,799
updated Linus Media Group website which I think looks pretty good and uh took a

51
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,239
lot less time than the older WordPress based ones so uh guys you're going to

52
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:02,760
want to check that out so without further Ado let's get into it hardware

53
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:08,360
bot banss Windows 8 benchmarks due to RTC issue so basically if you decrease

54
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,040
the base clock and increase your multiplier we should start with some

55
00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:16,600
background because not everyone's going to know what a hardware bot is okay okay

56
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:21,079
so hardware bot guys is sort of the governing Authority on competitive

57
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:29,000
computer benchmarking if you haven't heard of it before go check it out hardware.com and what they do is they

58
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:34,479
catalog and give Awards to the people who are really at the top of their game

59
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,600
it's kind of like the um the uh the feal

60
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:39,840
standards and measurements whatever those guys are in that South Park

61
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:45,440
episode with the giant turd so they oversee all this stuff uh even if only

62
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:49,759
the kinds of people who you know are really into computers just like kinds of

63
00:04:47,479 --> 00:04:54,280
people who are really into turd size might actually care about it they

64
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:57,199
dedicate a an unbelievable amount of effort into making sure that

65
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:02,160
everything's fair and everything's on the up and up which ain't easy with

66
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,440
anything digital because all these

67
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:10,479
overclocker guys so easy to spoof things they're tuners and Tweakers and Geeks

68
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:12,759
and hackers and you got to be sort of

69
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:16,800
fighting that while helping them to anyway okay so that's hardware bot so

70
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,880
what's an RTC the RTC is the clock in Windows so

71
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:26,479
it's it's keeping track of time and if that isn't properly running things can

72
00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:31,360
get really really messed up so there's a lot of things that rely on RTC backups

73
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:36,440
rely on RTC benchmarks some benchmarks not all benchmarks rely on RTC um

74
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:41,720
anything scheduled applications can rely on RTC so if you play um like if you

75
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:45,600
ever played older Windows 3.1 games like I had this one game called Goose where

76
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:51,240
you were like a little like tank and you were like andway it was good I liked it

77
00:05:49,479 --> 00:05:55,080
um what happened was my family upgraded our computer and all of a sudden the

78
00:05:52,520 --> 00:06:00,600
tank went so fast I couldn't do anything because that application was not taking

79
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:06,280
time from the systems r TC it was actually just running as fast as the

80
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:09,160
processor could possibly run it and okay

81
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:14,800
thing so RTC is good yeah we like it okay so the problem has to do with

82
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:16,840
certain Intel platforms and Windows 8 so

83
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:22,840
the base clock is how the clock speed of your CPU which should not be confused

84
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:24,000
with the system clock that's running

85
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:29,039
because that's what was happening in that old Goose thing whereas the time for the application was derived from the

86
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,800
clock speed of the CPU which is totally wrong now crazy it's insane it should

87
00:06:30,919 --> 00:06:36,840
have never worked that way but a lot of them did so the clock speed of your CPU

88
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:41,520
is derived from the multiplier times the base clock so when you're increasing or

89
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:45,319
decreasing the base clock what are we seeing here so what's happening is

90
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:49,280
they're they're allowing for a bigger time window by decreasing their base

91
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:55,599
clock but then not making their CPU Faster by increasing their multiplier M

92
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,639
so the CPU has instead of say 5 minutes

93
00:06:55,599 --> 00:07:00,879
It'll have 5 minutes and 18 seconds to complete the Benchmark and in that

94
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:05,599
amount of time a lot of benchmarks are like okay how much can you do in this amount of time yes so they give

95
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:08,639
themselves 18 more seconds but they're at the same speed they were before right

96
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:14,199
so they decrease their base clock increase their multiplier give themselves a bigger window and then

97
00:07:11,919 --> 00:07:19,680
achieve a better score now to be clear Hardware bought doesn't necessarily um

98
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:23,319
think that this was being intentionally exploited at least that's the official

99
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:28,879
word who knows what they know or don't know but they have found the error and

100
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:34,280
the here's I mean here's the funny thing is you talk to even super knowledgeable

101
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,240
people like uh you know I was talking to

102
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:40,240
um Andre Yang and JJ from ASUS where my whole thing to them was well changing

103
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:45,080
Bas clock doesn't really change performance and they were like well it

104
00:07:42,039 --> 00:07:46,639
can in certain cases so for all we know

105
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,400
Bas clock can change performance in certain cases this is true but for all

106
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:54,080
we know some of the perceived improvements in performance we were

107
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:58,879
getting from base clock tuning might have been because we didn't have a

108
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:02,199
second stopwatch running next to this

109
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:05,599
other system and it's as much as a 7%

110
00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:08,479
difference 7% difference if you uh like

111
00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:12,199
you can get it higher 6% but yeah 6% you you can depending on how you adjust it

112
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:15,759
and stuff you can you can adjust that difference a little bit so depending how

113
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:20,319
much you're underclocking the base clock and compensating with multiplier you can move around how much of a difference it

114
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:26,800
makes so what you could do is if you were intentionally exploiting it you could actually tune it so that you beat

115
00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:29,840
someone else by like half a percent so

116
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:34,039
that it's believable looks reasonable

117
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:35,320
but yeah very very fascinating and you

118
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:40,919
know you look at an issue like this and you get to kind of Wonder well who's I mean whose problem is it to fix this

119
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:46,120
exactly yeah yeah like apparently the changes were made so that Windows 8

120
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:52,720
could be put on much lower power devices um it's it's it's a lot easier

121
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,959
to run the new RTC than it used to be so

122
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:59,240
different processors and all that kind of stuff can do it much better and the thing there is that how easy is it going

123
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:05,800
to be for Microsoft to patch this when they still have to

124
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:07,760
enable you know whatever other devices

125
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:11,800
whether it's you know um super low power Intel has Wheel based chips or they're

126
00:09:09,959 --> 00:09:17,920
probably using the same technology in RT so they're going to have to probably adapt it for ARM or they're going to

127
00:09:15,079 --> 00:09:23,120
have to run two separate clocks it just gets really awkward right I mean the

128
00:09:20,079 --> 00:09:25,279
idea of RT and Windows 8 is that aside

129
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:29,920
from x86 compatibility they're supposed to be and then how much do you expect

130
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:34,519
Microsoft to really invest estim this too that's that's one thing that came up to my mind right away was like okay it's

131
00:09:33,079 --> 00:09:38,760
a whole bunch of Niche overclockers which I love but does Microsoft care

132
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,399
that much like they've obviously been moving away from game but we don't know

133
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:48,160
what else this affects I mean for all we know this could affect um simulations of

134
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,800
oil pipeline drilling y or something like that so if something like that

135
00:09:50,079 --> 00:09:57,320
comes in they'll get I think more pressure than they will from the overclocking Community yeah definitely

136
00:09:54,519 --> 00:10:02,480
the overclocking Community is uh you know awesome but not that big we we love

137
00:10:00,079 --> 00:10:07,519
them yeah what can but what can we say so um our scheduled guest for today is

138
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,040
Locker gnome or Chris pillo as uh depending on at what point in history

139
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:18,160
youve followed him or how closely you'll have probably heard of him though he's

140
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:20,240
one of the pioneers of tech videos to to

141
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,079
put it to put it mildly so I'm I'm just tweeting him right now and finding out

142
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:27,240
where we're at on that because I don't think we managed to get a uh a test call

143
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:31,000
going today so hopefully we're going to get that going pretty quick just wanted

144
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:36,920
to bring that up and our next topic should we jump right into EA might as

145
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:41,839
well I yeah might as well EA moment we need like an intro

146
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:46,440
thing for this so that we can like really do it

147
00:10:44,079 --> 00:10:50,120
properly I mean they didn't do anything bad this week they didn't do anything

148
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:55,320
bad so our source for this one is Escapist magazine and like you know they

149
00:10:53,279 --> 00:11:00,639
don't they don't know what to make of it we don't know what to make of it EA

150
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:03,760
offers full re funds for unsatisfied

151
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:07,160
origin customers now my first reaction

152
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,839
to this was I was like okay it's

153
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:15,160
Escapist so they're probably trolling EA because EA is offering refunds on Origin

154
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:20,120
which is free or something like I mean that's the level of stupidity we've come

155
00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:22,959
to expect from these guys but

156
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:26,600
no that is not what they did so it's supposed to be a benefit over like

157
00:11:24,839 --> 00:11:30,720
physical retail so with physical retail you buy a game you try and return it no

158
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:35,200
no not not a PC game because it has a license attached to it but I mean a big

159
00:11:32,279 --> 00:11:39,360
part of that is because that digital license is is cuz I mean you used to be

160
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:42,920
able to return games back when it didn't have a serial number attached to it that

161
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:47,160
was like you know a one-time use battl net account that now all of a sudden the

162
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:51,399
serial number means nothing yeah back before that you could return them so

163
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:56,360
it's actually the the digital rights that are making it so

164
00:11:54,160 --> 00:12:01,600
that retailers can't take games back and from my perspective I'm looking at a

165
00:11:58,279 --> 00:12:04,079
digital piece of merchandise going well

166
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:07,240
hold on a minute why can't steam give you a

167
00:12:04,959 --> 00:12:12,040
refund I totally could because they can remove it from your account and that's

168
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,399
the only way you have to use this thing

169
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:19,279
so if they remove it from your account they can take the key back and resell that key and I understand the you know

170
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:24,399
you don't want someone buying a game to do a speedrun of it and returning it but

171
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,079
I think EA has found a very nice balance

172
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:31,160
here so they're calling it the great game guarantee it's only running on EA

173
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:36,600
titles irony just weird no I understand it

174
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:41,160
because how would you get a third party developer to to take a game back well

175
00:12:38,959 --> 00:12:44,399
what I was thinking is is you could you could you buy batches of keys I think

176
00:12:43,199 --> 00:12:49,440
this is how it works I'm not entirely sure but you buy batch because steam will run out of keys for certain games

177
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:53,079
sometimes so I think they buy batches I don't know don't quote me on that but

178
00:12:51,199 --> 00:12:57,600
you have this batch of keys if you get returned you just put that back into

179
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:59,399
inventory and resell it unless the

180
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,279
license terms you have with the developer don't allow you to do that

181
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:10,760
that's true yeah which could very well be the case so they're doing EA games

182
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:14,399
only um they are allowing either 24

183
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:17,040
hours after you first launch the game or

184
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:21,199
7 days after you buy the title so they're giving you whichever comes first

185
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:25,399
um and they're giving you that long to just say no I actually don't like this

186
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:29,720
game at all you know because this I mean it's not the kind of thing where it's

187
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:33,079
like oh you know I'm 12 hour into the campaign and maybe it's not the greatest

188
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,600
thing ever if you're 12 hours into the campaign the idea is you buy it this is

189
00:13:34,959 --> 00:13:42,040
to protect you from oh it's not compatible with my graphics card or like

190
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:48,440
you know Crossfire stutters all over the balls and you know crisis 2 or you or

191
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:53,199
it's a Bad sequel or something you don't like it and you know right away you know

192
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:56,800
instantly the idea is you're not stuck with it you can get a full refund I mean

193
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,720
if it was like a launch day bug you could even return it and go you know

194
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:04,240
what I still want to play this game but buy it later maybe I'll buy it when they

195
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:09,120
fix the bug and I think this puts the right kind of pressure on the game

196
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:11,519
developers too to stop releasing you

197
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:16,800
know day one or day two or day three patches because now the pressure is

198
00:14:14,079 --> 00:14:20,399
going to be on the EA teams to deliver a working title at launch because

199
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:27,519
otherwise they're going to take returns this is going to I mean this is going to

200
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:29,720
indirectly make EA potentially a better

201
00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:33,240
game company because they're not going to be able to just be like oh well we'll

202
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:37,440
just release it and then they're stuck with it hopefully it does that hopefully

203
00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:42,199
it does that it has potential to do that one thing that I will see it doing is Al

204
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:46,440
the you know like I'm not a huge fan of origin origin in itself is I guess okay

205
00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:52,800
the main reason why I don't like it is cuz it's another freaking application that I have to run yeah origin plus

206
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:55,199
Battle Log Battle Log oh Battle Log okay

207
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:59,240
sorry I hate battle don't give me yeah um but like this makes it look pretty

208
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:03,440
enticing because steam you have no ability to do this steam has summer

209
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:10,800
sales you can buy things for $2 but steam doesn't have any ability and officially origin has one selling point

210
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:15,360
that steam doesn't know one but it still has one but that's one that's one and

211
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:21,600
are we getting I mean are we getting closer to digital I mean this is crazy

212
00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:24,160
where digital retail is behind physical

213
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:30,240
retail for customer satisfaction policies isn't that insane where Amazon

214
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:35,480
has a better return policy than steam yeah come on yeah I mean Amazon has to a

215
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,360
lot of the times you know a lot for particularly items where there's some

216
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,920
actual margin built into them they'll even ship a return label for you to ship

217
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,720
it back to not only are they not getting your money for the transaction they're

218
00:15:43,319 --> 00:15:48,600
going to eat shipping back on it they're losing money on it whereas steam there

219
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:53,759
is no shipping no they could even make it an automated system apply for refund

220
00:15:50,959 --> 00:15:56,680
within even if they gave you 6 hours you know if they gave me honestly I'd be

221
00:15:55,160 --> 00:16:01,800
happy with that I can usually figure out if I'm going to like a game in six hours yeah 6 hours after launch I think would

222
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:04,600
even be fair but EA's gone above and beyond that they've said 24 hours if

223
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:07,560
you're not going to get more than a full day's enjoyment out of our game then

224
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:12,920
we're going to give it back if you wait till the weekend play it on Saturday and just go for gold you can beat a lot of

225
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:17,800
games in 24 hours well I I mean I don't want to encourage people to do that not

226
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:22,199
saying it's it's ballsy on EA's half on behalf to allow a 24-hour window because

227
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:26,560
of that I agree it's not fair and if I like a game I'm going to pay for it but

228
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,360
it's it's pretty ballsy and they're going to get a lot of people doing that not that I think it's right but they're

229
00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:38,040
going to get a lot of people doing that and that's frustrating I wish it I wish it didn't have to be like that I mean I

230
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:40,680
I am I I'm like I'm like gushing about

231
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:43,680
how greedy a is right now but like okay at the same time like steam's great I

232
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,480
love steam compare them to valve and Blizzard at this point though yeah I

233
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:52,480
mean look at blizzard who could be more Draconian than blizzard about no you pay

234
00:16:50,319 --> 00:16:56,880
you own I mean look at how broken some of

235
00:16:55,519 --> 00:17:03,199
the stuff they've done over the last while is and no you pay you own that's

236
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,720
it so I uh I I I love this Diablo 3

237
00:17:03,199 --> 00:17:08,760
launch imagine how many returns they would have gotten for Diablo 3 launch I

238
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:14,199
know it's crazy so like the pressure is going to be on EA to like no no that

239
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:20,559
sports game is like you know going to have the right stats for you know

240
00:17:16,959 --> 00:17:25,480
whoever anyway moving into Diablo I

241
00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:29,480
Diablo II Reaper of Souls expansion is

242
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:31,760
coming we don't know when no but it's

243
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:35,720
but it's coming so this was an article uh on joystick so I'm just going to go

244
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:40,960
ahead and flip over there right now I'm going to zoom in on that there for you

245
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,440
guys so it was revealed at Gamescom and

246
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,440
there's actually quite a lot of information given about it the let's

247
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:52,559
start with the less important stuff I guess so there's a new

248
00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:54,120
class um that is going to be called the

249
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:59,480
Crusader so it's going to be kind of like a paladin which it's like who

250
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,880
didn't see that one coming

251
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,720
I I yeah I was kind of surprised it wasn't like in already I I thought they

252
00:18:02,919 --> 00:18:10,400
were going to have more CL anyways well they were saving it for yeah expansions

253
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,039
I guess I mean but like really yeah I

254
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:20,880
don't know it had very few classes at launch what was it four uh Warrior Demon

255
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:23,240
Hunter Wizard and Rogue basically or

256
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:27,039
whatever they call it now I don't remember anyway okay so they had a few

257
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:31,640
so now it's like Yay one more class and so there's new endgame content there's a

258
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:36,880
higher level cap uh there's new monsters there's a new story act but this is what

259
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:41,320
I want to talk about the new loot system loot

260
00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:42,320
2.0 they've actually taken I mean look

261
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:47,640
at this I'm going to say something positive about blizzard today too

262
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:52,760
positivity day I know it's like the good news

263
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:56,679
show uh so the new loot system is going

264
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:58,280
to adapt the drops to be fewer so your

265
00:18:56,679 --> 00:19:03,039
inventory isn't just going to be full of stupid like you know leg of WS all the

266
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:06,600
time I don't even know if that's a thing anymore but see I'm showing my old

267
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:12,720
school Miss oh I forgot to change back to us so uh yeah not so full of you know

268
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:19,520
stupid stuff anymore but it's going to be a fewer better drops more tailored

269
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,960
more and in addition to that something

270
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:26,240
to do with that you might actually want to use them because right up till now it

271
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:32,600
looked like okay you were just kind of farming gold so you could buy things in

272
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:34,520
the auction house which is just like oh

273
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:38,840
which is like okay yes blizzard we know you get a cut out of the auction house

274
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:42,520
sales and that's great for you but it shouldn't you shouldn't just be buying

275
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:45,679
all the gear that takes the satisfaction out of a Dungeon Crawler what's fun

276
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:50,880
about grinding unless there's like the thrill

277
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:54,720
of getting the drop which is much lower when you fully expect to just be farming

278
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:59,159
gold to bite out of an auction and how disappointing is it to get a drop that's

279
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:04,159
like so legit and not anything to do with anything you

280
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:08,840
can use so now you get to go and like sell it it's like it's like uh it's like

281
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:13,919
you know Diablo I accounting Edition yeah instead of the actual excitement of

282
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:18,159
crawling around and finding that thing that's that's that's that's so cool I

283
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:24,000
mean if I just wanted to grind and buy something I could go do odd jobs for

284
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:29,159
people in their yards I could get a tan I could work on my muscles and then I

285
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:33,640
could go buy whatever sword I want CU that's basically what it was so I

286
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:37,679
think it's really exciting that uh there's that oh oh and the new mystic so

287
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:42,080
there's a new Artisan that allows you to reroll Stats on regular

288
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:45,200
items which is interesting that's cool it's very interesting it's it's like you

289
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:48,919
buy something or you you you get something and it's like oh this is like

290
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:53,080
really good but it's like if I if only it would sort of slightly be different

291
00:20:51,760 --> 00:21:01,080
slightly be more different then that would be uh then that would be even better so so that's uh you know blizzard

292
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:06,280
doing something right just a really weird combination

293
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:10,880
um how's that coming uh talking talking to Chris on

294
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:15,080
Twitter he's like uh yep yeah we got oh I don't have Windows readily available

295
00:21:12,919 --> 00:21:21,120
so he's uh throwing he's throwing coms on his Surface Pro and is definitely

296
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:23,520
working on it now so uh uh add lonus

297
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:27,880
Tech to uh

298
00:21:25,279 --> 00:21:31,159
uh so don't worry don't worry Locker Nome will be joining us it's just a

299
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:34,360
matter of getting the uh the technical the technical things sort of worked out

300
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:37,360
here so let's move into our next topic you want to pick our next topic we got

301
00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:44,159
Ben Affleck is Batman come on although as long as he

302
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:49,799
doesn't do the like I'm Ben Affleck and I have throat

303
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:55,559
cancer also I'm a superhero like thing I do that annoyed

304
00:21:52,880 --> 00:22:01,120
me so much yeah it actually made the movies like aside from that they were

305
00:21:57,559 --> 00:22:03,799
amazing and he Ledger is basically

306
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:10,880
like the best thing to ever happen to Batman or basically my childhood ever uh

307
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:14,360
oh I can I can be a Manchild I was like

308
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,400
wait what I mean uh that movie par I

309
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:19,080
loved Dark Knight because okay so dark knight one thing you just mentioned we

310
00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:24,960
should just talk about how great eath Ledger is for the next 10 minutes and just completely gloss over Ben Affleck I

311
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:27,960
actually I saw this on Reddit this is like one of the only times I've actually

312
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:33,640
been able to get a newsworthy item from Reddit uh cuz our forum is just too good

313
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:35,840
at the moment but uh Heath fleder when

314
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:39,000
he was casted as the Joker got a whole bunch of

315
00:22:36,679 --> 00:22:43,120
flak because of previous movies that he had done 10 Things I Hate About You was

316
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:46,320
an awesome movie so whatever he he didn't look like he would

317
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:51,080
be able to fit the role very well because of a lot of the previous roles that he had done so he got a ton of flak

318
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:56,039
now that being said I don't think he's gotten as much flak as Ben Affleck but

319
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:59,480
so there's B Affleck I mean I understand that Bruce Wayne is supposed to be a

320
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:05,279
pretty boy and got the he's got the chin dimple yeah he's he's got the chin

321
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:08,240
diple so we give him full marks for a

322
00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:12,440
chin I just that matters a lot on Batman I know but I don't see him as an

323
00:23:09,919 --> 00:23:17,200
Unstoppable badass and that and you're going to put him next to

324
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:22,600
Superman so like Batman's already the redheaded stepchild of of that

325
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,360
particular superhero team up and uh

326
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:29,720
speaking of speaking of superhero team ups and redheaded stepchilds and Batman

327
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:31,840
versus Superman um this out so this was

328
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:36,480
a Vsauce video that I don't know if you guys have had a chance to check out but

329
00:23:33,919 --> 00:23:42,360
I I quite enjoyed it so there's an ad running here right now but uh oh wait

330
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:45,880
I'm not monitoring at all am I think it's

331
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:50,159
working I have no idea what the audio level is like but anyway the point is

332
00:23:47,679 --> 00:23:55,360
check it out it's on Vsauce 3 and it's what if Superman punched you and this

333
00:23:52,919 --> 00:23:59,559
came up um in no small part because of the upcoming Batman Superman crossover

334
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:05,039
is like how helpless is is Batman let's go Batman versus Superman

335
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:10,360
he loses cuz the stupid arguments have been like oh well Batman can afford

336
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:14,480
Kryptonite if he has like Kryptonite that star things that he can throw at

337
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:19,159
him how do you hit Superman with a star yeah it's not going to

338
00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:23,120
happen like he's super I mean honestly that's one of the things that's bothered

339
00:24:20,279 --> 00:24:28,440
me about Superman a lot how does he how well no it's that

340
00:24:25,919 --> 00:24:33,000
well he's too imba and then he he's like defeated by his own just it's not even

341
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:38,039
like defeated by his hubris or his tragic flaw or anything like that it's

342
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:42,039
like defeated by sheer utter stupidity but yeah that's the argument as to why

343
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:47,080
Batman could possibly win is Batman's the opposite he always wins by his

344
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:52,480
intelligence and planning and cunning you can be as cunning as you want but if

345
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:54,159
someone like punches so hard that they

346
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:58,440
could like hit the Earth on the opposite side of the world as you and the shock

347
00:24:56,120 --> 00:25:03,840
wave that hit you would like you know bust you up then I mean he's got laser

348
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:07,399
eyes but what if he what if he never gets a chance why does Superman never

349
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:12,120
get why does he ever get close to anything he should just laser eye

350
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:16,200
everything I mean he's Superman so it's not like oh well his laser eyes might

351
00:25:14,159 --> 00:25:22,480
hurt an innocent bystander well then he should like lasery the tire of the car

352
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:24,600
so perfectly that like right like there

353
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:29,200
should never Superman's an idiot he always gets in terrible

354
00:25:27,399 --> 00:25:34,799
terrible situations Superman's a dumb jock yeah and and and Batman is the very

355
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:38,960
intelligent cunning planning person so Superman just runs

356
00:25:36,399 --> 00:25:44,159
around and that's actually Indiana Jones that you were going for there you know

357
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:46,840
what Indiana Jones versus either of them

358
00:25:44,159 --> 00:25:52,799
go what oh man see Batman always sets up

359
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,760
situations if you set up a situation with all his blinging amounts of money

360
00:25:54,200 --> 00:26:00,120
and bought all the Kryptonite ever he might actually be able to win but if you

361
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:04,200
put in a small closed room and had a fist fight which is apparently your

362
00:26:01,919 --> 00:26:06,720
description of it then yeah Superman's obviously going to

363
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:13,320
win okay now if Batman is Ben

364
00:26:10,919 --> 00:26:18,279
Affleck I don't know then we're maybe giving Batman too

365
00:26:15,559 --> 00:26:23,279
much is what you're trying to say I I like Ben Affleck but I don't know if he

366
00:26:20,799 --> 00:26:27,440
fits this role now he can surprise me like Heath Ledger that would be awesome

367
00:26:25,679 --> 00:26:31,559
man Heath Ledger's awesome I I wish Heath Ledger wasn't dead me too it's not

368
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:37,960
often that I kind of sit around going I wish someone wasn't dead but I I wish

369
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:39,480
Heath Ledger wasn't dead oh man I I I I

370
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:47,520
have confidence in Ben Affleck I think he can do something I do like him but I

371
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:49,799
don't know it's not exactly his style of

372
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:54,159
role yeah all right you introduce our next topic I got a thing going on here

373
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:59,200
all right one second so Oculus is looking to

374
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:03,919
solve simulator sickness simulator sickness is not like motion sickness

375
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:07,840
motion sickness is when um there's all this motion but you can't visually

376
00:27:05,559 --> 00:27:11,279
perceive things moving stimulator sickness is when you visually perceive

377
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:15,480
things moving and there's not all this motion so it has been giving people a

378
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:19,679
lot of dizzy spells a lot of headaches people have thrown up stuff like that so

379
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:23,279
they're trying to solve the problem um they haven't yet but they are working on

380
00:27:21,679 --> 00:27:27,039
it and they do think that they can grow towards the goal of at least reducing it

381
00:27:25,159 --> 00:27:30,840
to an incredible degree where it won't be that big of a problem because right

382
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:35,440
now it is fairly common for people to get simulator sickness did you get it

383
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:40,360
when we tried out the Omni and the Oculus I did not but you didn't e no one

384
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:45,080
did right uh I of our group I felt a little bit motion sick but I don't know

385
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:48,720
if like it was it was at the beginning and then it kind of went away so I don't

386
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:54,840
think it another thing for us though is that that wasn't fair we were

387
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:56,960
moving oh okay cuz I thought about this

388
00:27:54,840 --> 00:28:00,000
we were we were not sitting planted in a chair we were moving around

389
00:27:58,799 --> 00:28:04,960
and one thing that people have talked about is one of the things people have been doing with oculus rift is put out

390
00:28:03,799 --> 00:28:10,120
interesting experiments while they'll have people lay down and then have them

391
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:14,120
like fall in the game I see and then they feel like they're falling and kind

392
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:19,039
of freak out a little bit um and that is going to be interesting

393
00:28:17,559 --> 00:28:24,080
cuz you're not moving at all but you're falling so your mind is going to freak

394
00:28:21,679 --> 00:28:28,240
out especially fast movement so if you whip around or if you're on a roller

395
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:32,279
coaster and you go down and your body isn't moving your head is supposed to

396
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,960
mess up so so we don't actually have the proper what I was thinking about with

397
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,840
this is that I would join the chat too and then you can monitor through

398
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:46,679
there uh that works okay sure okay um so okay

399
00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:50,600
on the other hand this could be great for guys like virtuix with the Omni

400
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:56,159
which is the uh for those of you who don't aren't familiar with the virtuix Omni it's the omnidirectional treadmill

401
00:28:53,960 --> 00:29:00,279
that is intended to allow you to move around and walk around and run around

402
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:05,120
sort of like running and gunning with oculus rift um so if it ends up being

403
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:09,640
that you kind of have to move to use Oculus this is going to be great for the

404
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:13,080
physical condition of Gamers everywhere and great for companies that want to

405
00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:16,960
make accessories for for products like Oculus so and not that Omni wasn't

406
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:21,559
already legit but this just makes it so much more legit because if if you are

407
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:26,840
someone who is afflicted by simulator sickness you can get an omni and solve

408
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:29,000
that problem hopefully very very cool

409
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:32,440
okay let's do one more topic before we uh we break for our sponsor break for

410
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:37,399
Squarespace and then we're going to bring Chris pillo in after the break so

411
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:43,039
uh go for it I've just got one more quick thing to do here this is another fairly short one so we'll try and keep

412
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:49,919
it to that I can I don't remember exactly what it stands for it's like uh

413
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:53,080
I'll try and find it but um I can has

414
00:29:49,919 --> 00:29:54,279
banned dotless domains Google was trying

415
00:29:53,080 --> 00:30:01,000
to get HTTP search no www.n.com

416
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:06,279
and it hasn't happened yet there aren't any yet but they have preemptively

417
00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:07,640
banned them um this is apparently a

418
00:30:06,279 --> 00:30:12,840
really big deal I personally don't really care that much because browsers have this really good ability to auto

419
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:16,120
Correct things so it's actually really not that big of a deal if you just type

420
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:22,559
in search it'll find it anyways and that's dotless so I'm not too worried

421
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:24,960
about the exact domain personally um but

422
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:30,279
apparently a lot of people are Google kind of seems to think it's a big deal

423
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:32,320
but I can't and I can talks so I can

424
00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:37,519
does they are the internet Corporation for assigned names and numbers which is

425
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,720
kind of the driest thing I've ever heard in my life I remember that it was

426
00:30:39,159 --> 00:30:44,399
ridiculous but I didn't remember exactly what it was assign names and numbers

427
00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:51,559
isn't that big of a deal but internet Corporation I find hilarious um yeah

428
00:30:49,159 --> 00:30:54,600
okay you know what I've got uh I've got Chris calling in right now so we're

429
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:59,840
going to go ahead and move to that and we'll do our sponsor break afterwards so

430
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:08,240
uh yep I'm going to add slick to the conversation as well here so here we go

431
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:10,799
yep and wherever he is there we go add

432
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:16,320
friend and in theory we should be able to monitor things

433
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:20,320
so here we go slick

434
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:24,000
pickup hey y Chris can you hear us I can

435
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:26,240
hear you hey hey that's fantastic so uh

436
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:29,320
say hello to the W show I guess and if you could do a brief introduction of

437
00:31:27,559 --> 00:31:34,679
yourself for those who have been living under a rock and have never heard of you

438
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:41,320
that would be fantastic as well hello world I'm Chris pillo AKA Locker Nome on

439
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:45,399
YouTube although I guess formerly known as Locker Nome on YouTube since they've

440
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:51,760
recently switched me over to my real name I am officially Chris Perillo and

441
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:59,679
if anything I create videos on a daily basis revolving around geek culture not

442
00:31:56,679 --> 00:32:02,120
just technology but well beyond it if I

443
00:31:59,679 --> 00:32:06,279
did nothing but talk about technology I don't think I would be married and uh

444
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:10,480
you know that's that's a good thing I think I'm happily married and turning my

445
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:16,440
wife into a geek we just recently started watching Doctor Who I I got her

446
00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:20,960
to watch Star Wars for the first time uh a few weeks back and we've documented

447
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:26,399
the entire experience so for me it's about living a geek lifestyle and uh you

448
00:32:24,159 --> 00:32:30,840
know loving geek culture and so the videos that I produce tend to revolve

449
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:35,919
around that I'm just going to start out by saying that I'm very impressed

450
00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:38,080
because um I have managed to get my wife

451
00:32:35,919 --> 00:32:42,559
to watch Star Wars with me but she fell asleep during each movie so she's

452
00:32:40,679 --> 00:32:46,360
actually only seen about the first third of each movie from the original trilogy

453
00:32:44,679 --> 00:32:50,360
meaning she's only probably seen one Star Wars movie sort

454
00:32:48,039 --> 00:32:55,320
of ouch yeah I I uh I had explained over

455
00:32:53,399 --> 00:33:00,559
and over again that she would understand so much more about me and of course the

456
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:03,399
jokes that I would make uh if she watched the movies and that was enough

457
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:08,200
motivation to get her through it and she enjoyed them a

458
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,279
lot that is uh that is fantastic and

459
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:15,559
that's very cool so for those of you guys who don't know how to follow Chris

460
00:33:13,399 --> 00:33:18,919
he's available on Twitter he's available on YouTube I think he's probably one of

461
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,760
the easiest guys in the world to get in touch with because if you just Google

462
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:27,519
his name there's all kinds of great results speaking of which Chris on

463
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:31,679
Twitter the other day I saw a fantastic twe tweet of a picture of you on the

464
00:33:29,639 --> 00:33:37,080
front of a VHS cassette can you tell us a little about that yeah that was uh

465
00:33:34,399 --> 00:33:41,840
during a brief run of hosting a a television show that on a network that

466
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:44,799
no longer exists and uh during a part of

467
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:49,159
that stint we this is of course back in the day when VHS was

468
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:53,440
state-of-the-art we recorded a in an afternoon's time how to how to use your

469
00:33:51,399 --> 00:33:58,639
computer and this is right before Windows XP had been released and someone

470
00:33:56,159 --> 00:34:02,559
found this VHS tape at a garage sale and took a picture of it I got a kick out of

471
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:08,079
it it's it's kind of cute I've got a couple of them left I guess they're

472
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:10,679
antiques I mean I I I have VHS tapes but

473
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:14,399
no VCR in the house or maybe I do somewhere I don't know it it could be I

474
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:18,879
mean if you're if you're anything like me there's probably a VCR but it would

475
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:23,119
take you years to find it so now that's the thing about technology is it's fun

476
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:27,240
and it's interesting but it's outdated so quickly and it's one of the reasons

477
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:31,159
why like with my YouTube channel I've evolved to addressing more of geek

478
00:34:29,079 --> 00:34:37,440
culture so like Star Wars is not going out of style anytime soon nor is Doctor

479
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:39,440
Who or or Lego bricks in fact Lego sets

480
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:44,560
appreciate in value compared to technology which usually loses value

481
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,079
over time so it's it's speaks very much

482
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:52,240
to you know one of the reasons why I've taken the approach of of tapping into my

483
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:54,720
inner geek and letting my geek flag fly

484
00:34:52,240 --> 00:35:00,640
in social media and you know what's funny is I've not only is technology

485
00:34:58,359 --> 00:35:05,119
more relevant moving forward from a uh from a dollar amount value perspective

486
00:35:03,359 --> 00:35:09,760
but I've also observed that it's more relevant um or sorry technology becomes

487
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,560
less relevant from a value perspective but geek culture it doesn't do that same

488
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:19,680
thing and what I've noticed is if you check out my YouTube channel three of my

489
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:25,000
four top videos ever in terms of views are unboxings and overviews of a remote

490
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:30,000
control fir Tru a remote control excavator and the parrot AR drone even

491
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:35,320
though I'm a strictly computer channel so to speak yeah you know I I had the

492
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:42,200
same Revelation uh some of my better traffic videos had to do with uh my Lego

493
00:35:38,839 --> 00:35:45,760
sets my the Lego Death Star Lego

494
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:48,560
atat uh you Star Wars Lego geekiness you

495
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:53,079
know and I'm like okay uh I need to be more of

496
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:56,680
myself one of the things that surprised me the most uh I went down to Science

497
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:58,920
World and they had a huge Lego exhibit and I started looking around and then I

498
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:03,480
noticed that everyone else looking around was about as old as me which was

499
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:07,200
interesting and like there was some kids there but the adults were the most

500
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:10,480
interested and then you go down to the Lego store in Vancouver and it's a whole

501
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:15,480
bunch of adults and a whole bunch of kids so it's it's one of those things that you can still enjoy when you're

502
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:20,480
older too y'all got to come down for Brick con it happens in October in

503
00:36:17,319 --> 00:36:22,440
Seattle and it is amazing it is a Lego a

504
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:27,760
festival really but it's done more for a Falls or adult fans of Lego and the the

505
00:36:25,839 --> 00:36:33,680
structures that people make are just so fantastic like a scale model to Min

506
00:36:30,359 --> 00:36:36,200
figures to of the Hogwarts Castle or a

507
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:40,040
full tower orth uh from The Lord of the Rings not the official set but like a my

508
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:44,119
own creation build I mean it's just it is so incredible to see the creativity

509
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:47,720
that comes out of of people you know when you when you give them the right

510
00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:52,680
tools and and that's the beauty of technology today is you know we're

511
00:36:49,880 --> 00:37:00,440
evolving like with arduinos and you know really uh raspberry pies lowc cost easy

512
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:03,839
to use configurable moldable you know

513
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:06,119
you can make anything that your mind can

514
00:37:03,839 --> 00:37:09,599
handle right and you're not limited by the tool set in front of you and I I

515
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:14,160
look at I guess I look at Lego bricks for as non- Tech as they are in much the

516
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:17,920
same way as I do arduinos and in in raspberry pies they're building blocks

517
00:37:16,319 --> 00:37:22,880
right can make something yeah where things are it's it's almost like we're coming full circle because in the early

518
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:27,680
days of electronics and Computing everything was DIY and then things got

519
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:31,160
kind of too complicated and the tools didn't really catch up to the point

520
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:36,359
where nothing it felt like nothing was DIY for a while there and then now we're

521
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:41,000
getting back into it with highly programmable things like Arduino and

522
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:45,720
with some I mean some of the cool DIY type projects that I've seen turned into

523
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:51,680
real products like I had um uh it's called The O2 amplifier and basically

524
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:56,160
these are DIY headphone amps that are just built by like a dude who designed

525
00:37:54,599 --> 00:38:00,119
it and was like oh well I see a bunch of problems with the commercially ailable

526
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:04,240
products so I'm going to fix it outstanding I love it and then now

527
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:08,480
we're getting into 3D printers and stuff just being able to make your own things and mess around with your own things we

528
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:12,760
could be this could be the Golden Age of DIY because even when you were able to

529
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:16,000
build your own Electronics 30 years ago 40 years ago and it would be you know

530
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:21,800
similar to what you could buy off a shelf now all of a sudden what's always

531
00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:23,440
been difficult is housings and tooling

532
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:28,680
hous and tooling can be 3D printing programming and all that kind of stuff arduinos and raspberry pies blah blah

533
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:34,680
blah blah blah you can build out of Les lesbo Lego and 3D

534
00:38:32,119 --> 00:38:40,440
printing well you look at the the Microsoft talking about uh enabling 3D

535
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:45,640
printing by default in future versions of Windows that's pretty powerful stuff

536
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:49,880
but pretty Forward Thinking for them yeah but the problem is is that it's got

537
00:38:47,319 --> 00:38:54,079
to be a lot more consumer friendly and it's just not there yet I've seen a a

538
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:57,880
few really amazing Kickstarter projects that would work in theory but the issue

539
00:38:56,599 --> 00:39:05,240
I have with a lot of Kickstarter projects that have to do with technology is that usually the teams that have

540
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:07,599
great ideas suck on execution I mean you

541
00:39:05,240 --> 00:39:14,520
look at you know potentially amazing things like the auntu phone which is may

542
00:39:11,720 --> 00:39:19,160
go somewhere but didn't really make its Mark in terms of community backing um

543
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:23,319
you know there's there's sometimes a disconnect between the value of

544
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:26,480
technology and the consumer adoption of technology and whether or not they

545
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:31,040
actually see the value in something absolutely I mean I know we haven't even

546
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:35,960
managed to talk about any of our of our topics on the dock yet but I know you're

547
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:42,200
a star no no it's as much us as you and I'm about to derail us again so as much

548
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:44,880
of a Star Wars geek as you are

549
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:49,480
Disney you know initially I had a knee-jerk reaction and gagged but uh you

550
00:39:47,839 --> 00:39:56,760
know I really have appreciated the way they've handled uh some superhero movies

551
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:59,440
um and and and certainly appreciated the

552
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:04,480
bringing on J.J Abrams appreciated the work that he's done Disney can Market

553
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:10,520
they can franchise and the they've come out and said they understand that fans

554
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:14,000
want them to go back to the basics think about the fans at the center of this

555
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:18,160
universe not necessarily the technology that empowers movies and special effects

556
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:23,000
and so I I think their heart is definitely in the right place they realize it's their game to lose and you

557
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:27,560
really can't screw up much more than the prequels although the more I watch the

558
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:33,280
prequels the happier I am with them so I'm I'm very very um I'm very positive

559
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:37,480
that Disney will treat the Star Wars franchise better than I think Lucas

560
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:40,040
could okay but look at what happened I mean okay I'm going to play Devil's

561
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:44,599
Advocate because I don't necessarily disagree with you but look at even

562
00:40:42,319 --> 00:40:49,560
something that's an original Ip that they have like Pirates of the Caribbean

563
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:52,680
first film I I have no idea how many times I've watched that movie I've

564
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:58,319
completely lost count it got progressively so much worse because it

565
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:02,839
seems like oh come on oh at you're not going to tell me movies

566
00:41:01,319 --> 00:41:08,319
three and four shouldn't have been one movie are you I well yeah I guess no I

567
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:12,880
enjoyed four I mean it was it was different but I I didn't not enjoy it

568
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:16,880
I've enjoyed every single Pirates of the Caribbean movie I enjoyed them but I

569
00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:21,680
didn't rewatch them the way that I rewatched one and the way that I've

570
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:25,160
rewatched original trilogy Star Wars really that's I'm on the same level as

571
00:41:23,839 --> 00:41:30,240
him actually I did really enjoy them they're really good movies but the first one was epic and the other ones were

572
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:34,040
just very enjoyable and for me it really felt go I found the third one more epic

573
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:40,520
than the first one I guess for Pirates of the Caribbean I I I liked the scale of the

574
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:44,920
third one like the epicness was there yes I'll give you that but it felt like

575
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:50,359
to me the problem was they they broke their own rules for the sake of epicness

576
00:41:47,119 --> 00:41:52,560
in the first movie we exist in sort of a

577
00:41:50,359 --> 00:41:58,040
pretty normal world except for this cursed ship and then it seems like it

578
00:41:54,720 --> 00:42:00,000
just goes so to speak off the deep end

579
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:04,359
in the movies that come later and it's something that you know you look at the

580
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:08,839
really great franchises like Harry Potter Harry Potter for the most part

581
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:13,880
never breaks its own rules that it established right at the beginning it it

582
00:42:11,079 --> 00:42:17,800
allows it to okay so here go ahead go ahead but but they're with Harry Potter

583
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:21,359
they were going from a script they were going from an overall Arc and I don't

584
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:27,680
know if they expected to do the same thing with Pirates of the Caribbean until it was found to be a commercial

585
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:30,720
success okay so Star Wars are we going to give them the benefit of

586
00:42:29,079 --> 00:42:35,079
the doubt and go okay if they're going to say yearly releases and big

587
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:40,200
Productions every two years are they going to be working 20 years out on a

588
00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:47,160
story arc I'm guessing that well maybe not story arc but they if if they are

589
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:51,520
faithful to at least adhering to the notion of not breaking Cannon then I

590
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:56,880
think they'll be fine but the moment you step outside that boundary like Star

591
00:42:53,119 --> 00:42:59,119
Wars was okay A New Hope Was Meant To Be

592
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:05,440
A Standalone right in the middle of this 12 story monolith that Lucas had in his

593
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:10,359
head in fact recently at at a Star Wars celebration in Europe Mark Hamill had

594
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:14,200
suggested that originally Lucas was going to have the Death Star around

595
00:43:11,599 --> 00:43:16,800
forever but he blew it up in a new hope uh and then of course brought it back in

596
00:43:15,559 --> 00:43:20,520
return to the Jedi but originally it was just supposed to be one one Death Star

597
00:43:19,079 --> 00:43:26,440
he had to make ches because he wasn't sure it was going to be successful so

598
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:28,319
you know I think he violated canon in

599
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:32,000
and of itself by going back and establishing a prequel or trying to give

600
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:36,559
you a backstory of Anakin Skywalker and who he was but I mean I wouldn't have

601
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:43,400
minded An Origin story for Anakin Skywalker if once again they hadn't

602
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:45,440
broken their own rules the force is it

603
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:50,359
surrounds us it binds the Galaxy together it does all these things it's

604
00:43:47,359 --> 00:43:52,960
mysterious it's not medoran right right

605
00:43:50,359 --> 00:43:58,400
okay so like I said Luc that's Lucas's problem Lucas he broke his own rules

606
00:43:55,200 --> 00:44:01,760
okay but Lucas is not Disney

607
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:04,359
too what Lucas wants I think they'll

608
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:09,079
succeed so should we be more scared that he's a creative consultant or more

609
00:44:06,599 --> 00:44:13,319
comforted here here's a movie to watch the people versus George Lucas watch it

610
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:18,200
on Netflix if you're finished watching battl Star Galactica in Doctor

611
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:23,280
Who okay I you know what I'm even gonna I'm even G to put that in my document

612
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,599
here so the people versus George Lucas I

613
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:30,720
haven't watched it although I do have a Netflix account I got it with my chomecast so my my dogs actually make it

614
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:34,040
brief Cameo at the beginning of the uh the video I dressed him up as Darth

615
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:38,400
Vader and Princess Leia but it was a a video that went viral a while ago has

616
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:42,400
nothing to do with technology that's what's popular again

617
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:45,359
again nothing to do with technology again nothing to do with technology okay

618
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:52,119
so did you have a chance to check out some of the uh things in the dock that we labeled Locker Nome uh I saw the

619
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:57,599
entire document and actually was it was intrigued greatly all right so why don't

620
00:44:55,559 --> 00:45:03,880
we get into space glasses I want to hear what you think of this um the space

621
00:45:00,599 --> 00:45:05,839
glasses.com versus Google Glass do they

622
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:08,960
have a chance um do you mind if I actually play this video for the viewers

623
00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:12,760
so that they have a really good idea what we're talking about here you should

624
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:16,920
all right let's play this video cuz if you guys haven't seen this you are going

625
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:19,119
to have your socks rocked right off right

626
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:29,920
now boom oh yeah

627
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:35,800
I don't even know if the uh viewers have audio right now but I I don't think it

628
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,800
matters that

629
00:45:43,839 --> 00:45:47,839
much unreal

630
00:46:02,319 --> 00:46:09,640
I mean you got to be geeking out over that right there hey Chris you know it's interesting but yeah

631
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:15,040
let me see the final product cuz this is all Pie in the Sky to

632
00:46:12,559 --> 00:46:17,920
me it's all shut up and take my money until you actually use it and then it's

633
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:21,359
a different story you know that's I think you know

634
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:26,440
okay I'm going to I'm going to just I'm going to pause this now I'm going to switch back to let's let's discuss what

635
00:46:24,359 --> 00:46:30,680
we've seen so far because I think that's something that you and I are very much

636
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:35,319
on the same page about is that a lot of the viewers don't understand that it's

637
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:39,200
actually not all fun in games doing what we do and playing with the latest

638
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:44,319
technology you know I'd say a good three times out of four it just doesn't work

639
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:47,680
even well three times out of four yeah that's probably G that's probably being

640
00:46:45,599 --> 00:46:52,240
pretty generous that's very generous I mean it looks great but dude that's

641
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:56,640
that's total marketing video that's like wow amazing total marketing video

642
00:46:54,520 --> 00:47:00,920
they're also huge that was one of the first things I noticed is they're very

643
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:03,520
very large and really unsightly so I don't actually see that many people

644
00:47:02,319 --> 00:47:06,559
wearing them especially they showed the professional environment where he shaking hands with all the different

645
00:47:05,559 --> 00:47:12,160
people and they were basically introducing themselves uh verbally and

646
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:14,920
through the images that the uh what do they called space glasses were putting

647
00:47:13,319 --> 00:47:18,640
up but in a professional environment do you really expect your boss to show up

648
00:47:16,359 --> 00:47:23,480
with this giant headgear so let's talk about the culture of these wearable

649
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:27,920
glasses um first and then let's jump into meta's product versus and I think

650
00:47:26,359 --> 00:47:31,640
their logo looks like meth it looks like meth it looks like meth anyway um so

651
00:47:30,119 --> 00:47:37,920
let's talk about meta versus Google Glass and how that's all going to shake down so so

652
00:47:34,559 --> 00:47:40,400
Chris do you expect it to be acceptable

653
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:45,480
to walk into a business meeting even in 5 years from now wearing a wearable

654
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:50,160
glasses technology where other people are not necessarily wearing them I mean

655
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:53,720
you know how stodgy people can be um are they going to be feel uncomfortable

656
00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:56,599
because they feel like you're looking them up on Facebook while they're

657
00:47:54,920 --> 00:48:01,720
sitting there talking to you and is that going to continue to be a stigma even

658
00:47:58,559 --> 00:48:04,599
five years from now well you know i'

659
00:48:01,720 --> 00:48:09,520
I've been pretty public in terms of my you know belief in as far as technology

660
00:48:07,319 --> 00:48:14,400
goes it's going to be in personal wearable technology like Google Glass

661
00:48:12,599 --> 00:48:19,440
technolog is becoming increasingly pervasive and I think it's a matter of

662
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:24,480
time before a good headup display or heads up display is integrated within

663
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:27,599
eyewear the challenge I think you have

664
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:31,280
even even Google has in fact um Russell

665
00:48:27,599 --> 00:48:33,160
Holly who writes for geek.com uh

666
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:39,680
recently attended the I think it was a Moto X event it was a Google's own event

667
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:42,240
and he was told to remove Google Glass

668
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:46,520
so Google didn't even want Google Glass at a Google event and if Google can't

669
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:52,240
handle that I don't know how the hell they expect the average person to handle

670
00:48:48,839 --> 00:48:53,760
that they have stated sorry no go ahead

671
00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:57,599
uh they have stated though in the past that they they don't expect Google Glass

672
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:00,799
to be able to be worn every uh people were wondering like uh how

673
00:48:59,799 --> 00:49:05,319
hackable it would be and all this kind of stuff I call [ __ ] come on whoa

674
00:49:03,319 --> 00:49:11,040
whoa whoa whoa hang on so let me get this straight Google charges beta

675
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:13,799
testers out the yin-yang to have this

676
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:19,079
product and then says well we don't expect you're going to wear it anywhere

677
00:49:15,599 --> 00:49:21,480
everywhere really that's the whole IDE

678
00:49:19,079 --> 00:49:26,240
where's not okay and you know what if Google the only okay to me the entire

679
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:30,839
value of a wearable tech like Google Glass is that I do wear it everywhere

680
00:49:29,079 --> 00:49:35,640
and that it actually becomes part of my life if my smartphone was my tablet then

681
00:49:33,720 --> 00:49:39,760
I would use it occasionally the same way I do with my tablet the whole point of a

682
00:49:37,359 --> 00:49:44,680
smartphone to me is it's always in my pocket I can rely on having it if I need

683
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:47,920
to use it as a remote control for my TV right now because I always have it and

684
00:49:46,319 --> 00:49:52,040
it's always charged it's like priority number one when I go to bed isn't even

685
00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:55,520
brush my teeth it's plug in my smartphone and make sure it's charged

686
00:49:53,359 --> 00:50:00,440
for tomorrow if I am not wearing Google Glass all the time for a similar product

687
00:49:58,240 --> 00:50:03,119
then it's it's lost the entire value to me one thing I found that was

688
00:50:01,599 --> 00:50:07,079
interesting that Chris said was the the charge for beta testers that's hilarious

689
00:50:05,599 --> 00:50:10,960
the the the price of the product is going to be so much less than what they

690
00:50:08,799 --> 00:50:15,599
charged to beta testers and here's the thing I see someone wearing Google Glass

691
00:50:13,119 --> 00:50:21,720
and like okay you have money and you kind of look pretentious I mean I have

692
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:26,160
yeah you know it's it's it's a social stigma right now because it people are

693
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:30,520
living on the bleeding edge and and I get it and it's kind of neat and I tried

694
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:34,599
it I I'm very I'm very happy to have tried it I was invited to the Explorer

695
00:50:33,119 --> 00:50:38,799
program but it was just a little cost prohibitive I thought really am I am I

696
00:50:36,559 --> 00:50:43,599
going to get my money out of this other than bragging rights for having Google

697
00:50:41,359 --> 00:50:49,640
Glass and I just couldn't get past that I couldn't figure out how's this fit and

698
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:53,440
eventually costs will come down technology will become more usable uh

699
00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:57,359
you know having it built into prescription lenses I wear glasses

700
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:01,839
happily wear glasses I think it will become socially

701
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:08,040
acceptable but the Norms today dictate that permission is not

702
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:14,040
implicit when you hold a camera up to someone's face they get uncomfortable

703
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:19,720
and by you have the right to be filming them at that time they don't like it and

704
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:24,920
I don't see people's desire for privacy necessarily actually changing in fact

705
00:51:22,559 --> 00:51:29,359
the more it's been studied that the more connected people are or the closer that

706
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:33,480
you jam them in together actually the more they tend to try to isolate

707
00:51:31,079 --> 00:51:37,359
themselves in fact it is less common to have a nosy neighbor in an apartment

708
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:41,160
building than it is to have one in Suburbia because people get so close to

709
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:45,720
the point where they're actually trying to separate themselves from each other

710
00:51:43,119 --> 00:51:50,599
as opposed to trying to get closer and Snoop yeah I I just think that people

711
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:54,920
aren't ready for technology as much much as technology may be ready for people

712
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:59,960
there are still social boundaries that I would a great majority of the pop are

713
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:04,440
not ready to have violated if if they take the camera out and like Chris said

714
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:07,880
are able to integrate it into prescription glasses that look like

715
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:12,160
prescription glasses that's where I'm sold I don't want a camera in them at

716
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:15,599
all because that's just creepy and weird I want no camera I want them to look

717
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:19,160
just like prescription glasses but you just want augmented reality exactly yeah

718
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:23,960
you could probably sell me that I mean I've said to you quite a few times I am

719
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:31,160
in no way interested in the beta thousand stupid thing but I am totally

720
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:34,880
interested in Gen 5 gen 10 and person I

721
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:38,359
don't want to AR is definitely going to

722
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:41,400
work really well but it's not the idea

723
00:52:38,359 --> 00:52:44,160
it's the execution and Google has a

724
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:48,240
chance but they're they're already Sid stepping a lot of those mores and

725
00:52:46,359 --> 00:52:54,160
expecting society's going to keep up and there's one thing that you cannot change

726
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:55,920
with ease and that is culture yes so

727
00:52:54,160 --> 00:53:00,440
let's go to actually that's a great segue back to space glasses and let's

728
00:52:58,599 --> 00:53:06,880
talk about seg no I don't have a segue I I never got a segue

729
00:53:03,359 --> 00:53:10,319
either very funny

730
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:13,599
man so let's um let's go back to let's

731
00:53:10,319 --> 00:53:17,160
go back to MAA here um you mentioned

732
00:53:13,599 --> 00:53:19,559
just now Google has a chance sorry

733
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:24,520
Google has a chance to make it happen do these guys even have a chance because to

734
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:26,720
me the advantage of Google is nothing to

735
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:31,920
do with the glasses themselves or even to do with the Android operating system

736
00:53:28,839 --> 00:53:33,680
or to do with a camera or processors or

737
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:37,839
anything like that it's all about the ecosystem which is something that quite

738
00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:44,920
frankly is there anyone other than Google or Apple who could replicate the

739
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:46,960
ecosystem that Google has yes young d404

740
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:50,760
in your chat rooms he I think he can pull it off because he just said Chris

741
00:53:48,559 --> 00:53:55,359
pillo is the best guest on the W show ever with three three purple hearts

742
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:58,839
three purple hearts he put in there or she I don't know

743
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:04,240
point that out I think he or she has the chance of pulling it

744
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:08,119
off okay how about space glasses.com

745
00:54:04,240 --> 00:54:10,839
this guy's Gonna Keep derailing

746
00:54:08,119 --> 00:54:14,240
me so anyway I just wanted to say I'm W I watched the chat I didn't mean to De

747
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:18,160
derail you no I I think you're right and I think Google if anything Google's got

748
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:22,960
a lot of data and that's its biggest advantage over Apple Google is a a

749
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:26,920
horizontal player versus Apple who's a vertical player which is why I have a

750
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:31,520
big problem with anybody uh who dares try to walk into the Android versus iOS

751
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:37,359
argument because unfortunately that argument is it's outmoded it doesn't it

752
00:54:35,319 --> 00:54:40,440
can't exist because I'm For Better or For Worse there are two completely

753
00:54:39,119 --> 00:54:45,480
different Market strategies to the marketplace just like a Windows to OS 10

754
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:50,839
to Linux I mean you could talk about operating systems and compare for

755
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:52,240
Feature Feature for feature but's in so

756
00:54:50,839 --> 00:54:56,720
depends on who you are Google has got the biggest advantage in terms of its

757
00:54:53,880 --> 00:55:00,799
ability to collect data uh and and use that data to their advantage and and

758
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:03,559
unfortunately if you're not paying for a product and sometimes if you are paying

759
00:55:02,359 --> 00:55:06,960
for the product you're the product yourself and that's what Google has it's

760
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:12,200
one of the reasons why Google created the inorganic social network or I'm

761
00:55:09,079 --> 00:55:15,200
sorry social layer Google Plus which I

762
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:17,520
do happen to use on a regular basis um

763
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:20,359
it was looking to get more data you know Facebook wasn't giving them the data

764
00:55:18,839 --> 00:55:24,000
Twitter wasn't giving them the data and Apple has almost zero data that it's

765
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:28,960
willing to give out yep yeah true I actually have

766
00:55:27,319 --> 00:55:33,720
nothing to really add to all of that because I agree 100% And it honestly it

767
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:39,240
kind of irks me I was a longtime iOS user because for me iOS was the answer

768
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:43,920
and honestly I still use my iPhone 4 almost every day just as an MP3 player

769
00:55:42,039 --> 00:55:47,240
and to use a few apps and try some of the new stuff that's coming out so that

770
00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:51,720
I don't get completely to the point where I don't even know how it works

771
00:55:48,599 --> 00:55:55,240
anymore um and they're so different and

772
00:55:51,720 --> 00:55:56,599
they're both so good that they're

773
00:55:55,240 --> 00:56:02,319
different they're different approaches to the same Marketplace Y and and that's

774
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:06,839
really it's so difficult to talk about because for better for worse and hey I'm

775
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:10,920
a geek I'm just a different kind of geek I'm sure but people treat technology and

776
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:18,319
their choices for technology as if it was a religion what like your life really

777
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:21,280
revolves around this piece of technology

778
00:56:18,319 --> 00:56:27,119
like let's talk about Intel versus AMD yeah come on really are we still it's

779
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:32,440
just it doesn't make any sense Protestant versus Catholic I mean go you

780
00:56:29,720 --> 00:56:36,839

801
00:58:02,039 --> 00:58:07,880
regularly scheduled programming you know what no I'm going to we're going to keep

802
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:15,319
the religious debate going because if you can't see it does it exist LG has a

803
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:19,640
new display it's what it is it's a religious debate it's it's like no it's

804
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:25,559
Android all the way and anybody who doesn't believe is going to burn in hell

805
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:28,160
like really like are you serious so wait

806
00:58:25,559 --> 00:58:32,839
you're telling me that I have to live by your choices okay I'm fine with that I'm

807
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:40,640
fine with living by your choices the moment you start paying my bills that's

808
00:58:37,079 --> 00:58:44,599
right okay so if you can't see it does

809
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:50,839
it exist the LG display that they are

810
00:58:44,599 --> 00:58:52,319
showing off is a 2560 by 1440 5.5 in

811
00:58:50,839 --> 00:58:58,720
smartphone screen although we'll probably kind of have to call it a fablet at that point um Chris how do you

812
00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:04,359
feel as someone who wears glasses no less about the race to higher

813
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:09,760
resolutions is this just a dick measuring contest from the manufacturers

814
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:15,920
is it just a fanboyism thing from the consumers that keep pushing for higher

815
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,920
and higher resolutions

816
00:59:19,599 --> 00:59:26,680
go oh hold on Chris you're breaking up give us a second let's just

826
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:11,319
as we're not dropping frames we're still on right like we're still live maybe we

827
01:00:08,039 --> 01:00:13,119
got hit by the the the wrath of LG

828
01:00:11,319 --> 01:00:16,559
screens we're still live okay so it's not our connection this time fortunately

829
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:20,240
for those of you who are tuning in late we're streaming from my house again

830
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:26,039
because we haven't had a chance to get um to diagnose with Shaw yet or have a

831
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:32,240
new ISP come in and uh get things going for us so chat with uh chat with friend

832
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:37,480
uh no no no I'll add you you're adding me yep think I can do that cuz you're

833
01:00:34,599 --> 01:00:45,160

834
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:48,520
on I'm still in okay boom yay yay so

835
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:50,039
you're back first of all let me address

836
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:55,319
the person who accused me of being a sylon in the chat I am not a frack and

837
01:00:52,760 --> 01:01:00,359
toaster get that through thick skull okay and if you disagree you and me are

838
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:05,760
going to have words uh second of all I think you know we increase screen

839
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:11,400
resolution it's a law of diminishing returns quite honestly and anybody who

840
01:01:08,119 --> 01:01:13,680
can see the differences uh I I would

841
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:19,200
they've got very very finely attuned eyes because I can't and unfortunately

842
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:24,400
they're pushing pushing these resolutions very high and that's great I

843
01:01:21,599 --> 01:01:30,160
love Sharp Images sharp text sharp screens the problem is the video

844
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:36,480
processor or just the CPU just can't keep up and so you end up with a subpar

845
01:01:33,119 --> 01:01:39,000
experience and to me technology in a

846
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:43,599
device in my hand or in front of my face it's all about the experience forget the

847
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:48,599
specs 100% absolutely forget the specs I'm I'm someone who I I know I'm an

848
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:52,640
outlier but I I believe in specs to a certain degree but without proper

849
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:58,559
execution what's the point I've had great Hardware in crappy software and

850
01:01:55,480 --> 01:02:01,400
this to me is exactly why the guys like

851
01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:05,520
LG who are releasing this oh there's the problem so I need to boost this one

852
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:11,880
right very good all right to me the problem is guys like LG who were sort of

853
01:02:09,559 --> 01:02:17,200
I mean look how much earlier was LG in phones than Apple or Google if they got

854
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:23,559
it if they understood that it's not about the next 5 1/2 in 1080P screen and

855
01:02:21,119 --> 01:02:29,039
it's actually about the experience there would have been no room for guys like

856
01:02:25,599 --> 01:02:30,960
Apple or Google to bust in and Caron in

857
01:02:29,039 --> 01:02:37,279
this market if Samsung had understood if Sony had understood and and that to me

858
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:42,119
is why Google is allowed to exist and that is why Google and Motorola may be

859
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:46,000
the one to look out for as opposed to even Samsung in the long run on the

860
01:02:44,039 --> 01:02:52,319
Android platform I I wouldn't count Samsung out yet uh with teas or taisen

861
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:57,039
how do you say it is it teasing or tysen I have no idea well you know what I'm

862
01:02:55,039 --> 01:03:02,039
talking about though right yes okay this is the open source platform being

863
01:02:59,319 --> 01:03:07,480
codeveloped by both Samsung and Intel just to give context for those who who

864
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:10,319
may not be aware I think Samsung has

865
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:14,119
done more to help Android than Google believe it or not and with Samsung

866
01:03:13,079 --> 01:03:21,119
potentially dropping I gotta cut you off here do you mean in terms of market share and

867
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:23,400
acceptance and marketing then yes

868
01:03:21,119 --> 01:03:27,559
absolutely y because Google was seem to be content to let it be for nerds don't

869
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:31,839
don't wrong I think they're spraying and praying uh with Samsung producing as

870
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:36,359
many devices as it does it doesn't surprise me that it has the the market

871
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:40,079
share that it that it does command uh you know but they're they're going to be

872
01:03:37,839 --> 01:03:44,559
dropping Android and and Android is just a means to an end for Samsung and to a

873
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:50,359
certain degree Android is just a means to an end for Google uh open is great

874
01:03:47,599 --> 01:03:55,359
when it's a marketing term uh but Google is you know not I don't think they they

875
01:03:53,400 --> 01:04:00,279
haven't been as open as they claim to be or been we discussed this last week

876
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:04,839
actually in fact uh the whole Fiasco with Microsoft and Google and the

877
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:06,079
YouTube app is really a window into some

878
01:04:04,839 --> 01:04:10,920
of the things that are changing at Google right now we feel and well it's

879
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:16,880
true and Google is and I think Danny Sullivan put put it best he called

880
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:19,880
Google clopen which is I guess

881
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:22,520
a so they're horses

882
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:26,440
CL yeah you can say that no more like the words Clos and open put together I

883
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:31,400
know what he meant this this guy's giving me this look right now well how

884
01:04:28,359 --> 01:04:35,520
how do you get to horses I had horses as

885
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:38,520
a kid oh my goodness okay sorry keep

886
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:41,319
going uh is my volume okay by the way

887
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:45,799
let me tweak you yeah I love being tweaked that's not exactly like a twerk

888
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:48,300
right sounds hot right I wasn't sure I'm I'm still not hit with the kids lingo

889
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:51,520
these

890
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:59,400
days all right I turned you up yay

891
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:04,440
so so okay I think basically we've come to the conclusion that okay I agree with

892
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:06,319
you 100% the race to resolution inpcs is

893
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:11,039
not the be all and end all I'm interested to see what Samsung and Intel

894
01:05:08,039 --> 01:05:13,240
come up with however the thing that I

895
01:05:11,039 --> 01:05:20,960
still am not necessarily convinced that they understand is the experience on the

896
01:05:17,119 --> 01:05:22,839
software side Intel is not a software

897
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:27,880
company and Samsung is not a software company and you look at their entire

898
01:05:25,799 --> 01:05:31,599
history of products I don't think either of them has produced anything worth a

899
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:37,240
lick when it comes to software no offense I I no I completely agree I do

900
01:05:34,839 --> 01:05:42,079
not like the TouchWiz experience on Android devices at all uh I think it's

901
01:05:39,799 --> 01:05:45,960
completely unoptimized much talk about Intel Vive if we all want to be old

902
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:50,400
about things for a bit here well I didn't want to trip too far

903
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:56,000
down memory lane oh and speaking of I someone just

904
01:05:54,039 --> 01:05:59,359
said well I don't know what it was exactly but they keep bringing up a

905
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:06,079
Nintendo 3DS XL um it was released uh you know just

906
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:08,720
recently that uh the Google Play Store

907
01:06:06,079 --> 01:06:12,799
and iOS app store are cleaning the clock of mobile console gaming I think it's

908
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:18,400
just a matter of time before Nintendo has to give up and start licensing their

909
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:20,799
titles to uh uh various platforms I get

910
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:25,240
a lot of black I get a lot of flack for this opinion I think NVIDIA Shield is

911
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:30,680
potentially the future you know I I don't disagree I I think it's uh you

912
01:06:27,559 --> 01:06:34,480
know I bought the Ouya and was impressed

913
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:36,480
with the idea of the Ouya I think NVIDIA

914
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:41,920
captured exactly what needed to be captured now whether or not it's going

915
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:43,400
to evolve that way uh I I think I I I

916
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:47,920
would I would be inclined to agree I think NVIDIA did a good job with The

917
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:54,640
Shield or as good as could be expected um but it's it's got to be uh you know

918
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:58,119
something that users are going to think of and grab first and I don't know if

919
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:01,160
they're there yet I really don't and that's not to say that a console gamer

920
01:06:59,559 --> 01:07:06,039
is better than a PC Gamer is better than a mobile gamer they're all Gamers period

921
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:11,640
the lon share of the marketplace however are people like me casual gamers Plant

922
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:16,599
versus Zombies players well no I don't play I honestly the game video game I

923
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:19,000
play Tetris I freaking love Tetris uh

924
01:07:16,599 --> 01:07:23,160
you know I I I play casual games I pting monsters I pick them up put it down and

925
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:27,079
that is most of the market I mean you have extreme Gamers and that's certainly

926
01:07:25,559 --> 01:07:33,680
a great part of the market it's great entertainment but you know in terms of

927
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:35,920
who's spending the money a bigger piece

928
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:39,960
of that pie is not being spent on any kind of console gaming that's true and

929
01:07:38,039 --> 01:07:44,039
new models have developed to take advantage of Hardcore I mean in the old

930
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:47,720
model you got to sell them the cartridge and then that was it whereas in new

931
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:51,839
models like free to play you can continue to milk those hardcore guys so

932
01:07:50,039 --> 01:07:56,160
at least it's not a total write off but I think the hardcore guys really

933
01:07:54,119 --> 01:08:00,880
overestimate um how important they are in the grand scheme of things when it

934
01:07:58,079 --> 01:08:05,480
comes to companies and balance sheets and

935
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:08,319
profitability you know it's it's really

936
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:12,720
it's interesting to be at this time uh with technology and where it sits

937
01:08:10,599 --> 01:08:17,359
specifically in the consumer Marketplace and even we're there with with computers

938
01:08:14,799 --> 01:08:22,239
in in traditional PCS and I I've caught Flack for my opinion on on PCS as well

939
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:28,159
saying you know that they're really kind of being marginalized you know the idea

940
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:29,920
of a personal computer uh in a PC in

941
01:08:28,159 --> 01:08:34,319
general is just going to an extreme part of the market much like you could build

942
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:39,560
your own car but are you going to do it most people won't and I've taken Flack

943
01:08:36,480 --> 01:08:41,560
for that same thing from him you just

944
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:45,440
okay if you don't believe me go to Google Trends and search for the word

945
01:08:43,679 --> 01:08:51,319
computer and see how it's trending downward people are not searching

946
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:53,520
consumers 99% of the marketplace are not

947
01:08:51,319 --> 01:09:00,400
searching for the word computer because their definition and need for a computer

948
01:08:56,319 --> 01:09:02,799
is changed that eliminates the PC as a

949
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:07,920
viable tool to be used and sold in the marketplace which is why Microsoft is

950
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:10,520
getting its clock clean and I'm sorry as

951
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:14,960
much as I think it would help now that Steve Balmer is announced his retirement

952
01:09:12,440 --> 01:09:20,120
from Microsoft I don't think Microsoft's going to change its ways if only because

953
01:09:17,359 --> 01:09:24,440
the CEO or even an interim CEO is going to be appointed by the board and be

954
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:28,520
signed off on by Bill Gates Steve Balmer and the board so Microsoft's not going

955
01:09:26,359 --> 01:09:34,759
to bring in someone radically different and unfortunately this is It's A Hard

956
01:09:31,199 --> 01:09:36,880
truth but you have to accept that the

957
01:09:34,759 --> 01:09:40,920
world doesn't need Windows as much as Windows needs the world and Microsoft's

958
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:45,279
been operating from a completely different perspective which is exactly

959
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:50,839
why we have this monstrosity this Frankenstein's monster that's known as

960
01:09:47,359 --> 01:09:54,040
Windows 8 or even worse Windows

961
01:09:50,839 --> 01:09:55,480
RT I I I agree with a lot hold on I

962
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:58,920
would make the argument that we don't really have Windows RT because no one

963
01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:04,600
owns a device that has it on it okay you said it not me um I I agree

964
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:10,679
with a lot of that but not quite all of it with the new consoles coming out PC gaming is getting bigger now PCS as a

965
01:10:08,679 --> 01:10:14,600
consumer device I think might kind of float away but they might become more of

966
01:10:12,440 --> 01:10:18,360
a dedicated gaming machine exactly like said we don't need Windows for that it's

967
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:22,719
like building your own car except building your own car if it was easy

968
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:25,960
yeah so it it should still have more penetration than custombuilt handmade

969
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:30,600
cars but you know the the we might be looking

970
01:10:28,159 --> 01:10:35,120
at the end of the HP Desktop and Best Buy being relevant I have no issue with

971
01:10:32,679 --> 01:10:38,640
it all and and I think that uh you know Microsoft's they're they're hedging

972
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:43,239
their bets uh and I think they're taking the wrong their heart's in the right

973
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:47,360
place but unfortunately they're going to price themselves out of the market uh

974
01:10:45,159 --> 01:10:51,520
the Xbox one they position it in such a way that it's an entertainment console

975
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:59,560
which is great the problem is I think the PS4 could very easily take the Xbox

976
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:04,960
360s place in the family room if only based on price and just completely eat

977
01:11:01,679 --> 01:11:06,960
its lunch I I really honestly because

978
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:10,040
look at it unless I'm mistaken unless they've changed their tune like

979
01:11:08,199 --> 01:11:14,120
Microsoft has done in recent weeks with just about everything in relation to the

980
01:11:11,480 --> 01:11:18,920
Xbox one uh it won't be backwards compatible with older Xbox games you

981
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:23,600
know certainly Games available on disk the problem with that is that gives the

982
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:29,679
consumer who was an Xbox 360 you know owner more ability to shift platforms

983
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:34,640
yes it does why would they give themselves that open and let Microsoft

984
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:39,520
honestly they're potentially shooting themselves in the foot by pricing it

985
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:43,040
$100 more even if it's $100 greater they

986
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:44,760
by pricing it so high in respect to

987
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:49,040
their core audience of who's going to buy it and that's going to be the the

988
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:54,199
13-year-old kid who's begging mommy and daddy to buy them a game console let's

989
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:57,880
and that 13-year-old kid if you were like me um actually okay you were

990
01:11:56,560 --> 01:12:02,520
probably looking at different consoles than I was but I was asking for a Super

991
01:11:59,960 --> 01:12:08,840
Nintendo or a Genesis I got whichever ones my parents bought and if they're

992
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:11,159
saying I want a PS4 or an Xbox One the

993
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:17,239
parents are going to make the decision exactly and if they're going to

994
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:20,800
base that their decision on price nothing else ain't going to be about

995
01:12:19,239 --> 01:12:26,080
enhancing the family room ain't going to be enhancing the TV or that the the

996
01:12:22,679 --> 01:12:28,920
media experience Microsoft has the right

997
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:33,040
idea they have the wrong approach yeah and you know what they really had an

998
01:12:30,199 --> 01:12:37,159
opportunity with Xbox to uh and it seems like they're kind of taking baby steps

999
01:12:34,679 --> 01:12:40,800
in the direction of unifying the Xbox experience and the Windows experience

1000
01:12:39,239 --> 01:12:45,639
but it should have been that way from day one Xbox One well okay Xbox first

1001
01:12:43,639 --> 01:12:50,679
gen was a PC why were they not able to do

1002
01:12:49,159 --> 01:12:54,360
something okay and I'm not saying this would have been easy but why was it not

1003
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:58,639
possible for them to treat it more like a PC and not even be sitting around

1004
01:12:56,520 --> 01:13:02,080
worrying about backwards compatibil compatibility at this point because they

1005
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:06,080
could just say oh well you know don't worry about your back library of Xbox uh

1006
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:09,239
360 games because they're all going to run on your PC we're going to open up

1007
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:15,760
the license now so you don't need a console or or whatever else they could have done to bring those two devices

1008
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:18,440
together and actually converge them to the point where what they're trying to

1009
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:24,000
do now is they're trying to make the Xbox One the media PC because Microsoft

1010
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:28,679
and Intel and you name it has been trying to do this since I mean Google's

1011
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:33,080
trying to do it Apple's trying to do it everyone's trying to make a media PC

1012
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:38,239
essentially yeah but but people don't need it and not at that price exactly

1013
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:43,480
not at that price that's the problem people will take it at it's really it's

1014
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:47,080
sad because I think the Xbox 3 I'm sorry

1015
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:49,080
the Xbox one yeah is a better media

1016
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:53,920
center console than a PS4 it's it's not so much a gaming

1017
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:58,440
machine as an everything to everybody and I would have expected Microsoft to

1018
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:02,040
learn its lesson to not do that again I mean Windows 8 they talk about no

1019
01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:07,719
compromises I think the whole thing is a compromise uh and for for whatever it's

1020
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:12,880
worth by the way I'm you know in chat with you guys right now on my Surface

1021
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:16,639
PC it's uh it's the only way to to to run the utility you know and I'm I'm

1022
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:23,080
running right now in classic desktop mode but it's uh it's something where

1023
01:14:20,199 --> 01:14:26,320
Microsoft's trying but unfortunately they they are not addressing the need at

1024
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:30,960
a price where the consumer is going to buy into it yeah so you know what I

1025
01:14:29,199 --> 01:14:35,120
don't want to keep Chris for too long here guys and I promised we'd do a

1026
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:38,480
Twitter blitz so we're gonna oh that's completely not the right thing so let's

1027
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:41,440
go over to the actual Twitter feed here so Chris I don't know if uh you're

1028
01:14:40,239 --> 01:14:46,400
familiar with it it's pretty self-explanatory Twitter Blitz is I ask

1029
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:49,960
people to ask questions for you and you basically answer them as fast as

1030
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:53,199
possible and move on to the next one great I'm sure a lot of the people who

1031
01:14:51,639 --> 01:14:56,800
want me out of this chat would be very happy with me being quick all all right

1032
01:14:55,360 --> 01:15:04,760
favorite piece of technology you've ever owned go oh uh

1033
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:06,520
Theon I'm sorry the toron it was a

1034
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:12,080
musical instrument the MIDI controller that Yamaha made it's actually an app

1035
01:15:09,239 --> 01:15:15,920
available for iOS too what brands of products do you use most every day and

1036
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:20,440
why or maybe even just pick like kind of a favorite product you use a lot right

1037
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:22,760
now uh God I go back and forth between

1038
01:15:20,440 --> 01:15:28,520
my Nexus 4 and iPhone 5 today all right fair enough and totally

1039
01:15:25,639 --> 01:15:34,000
agree with that approach y on Google Trends the term computer has gone down

1040
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:35,600
while PC gaming has gone up and this I'm

1041
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:39,360
going to just interject here this to me was a huge missed opportunity for

1042
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:44,159
Microsoft where they abandoned the PC as a gaming platform to focus on Xbox

1043
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:50,080
versus allowing them to be convergent so go ahead Chris hit it yeah I think it's

1044
01:15:46,719 --> 01:15:53,320
great I I think the the the idea of a PC

1045
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:55,000
type of uh piece of Hardware perfect for

1046
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:59,199
gaming but it doesn't need to be on Windows it could be uh Linux it could be

1047
01:15:57,199 --> 01:16:04,280
OS 10 it could be anything and that shows with steam moving towards

1048
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:08,280
Ubuntu uh okay here's just a comment that uh sort of a comment on the the

1049
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:11,800
dynamic we've got here which is great news because I actually already pinged

1050
01:16:10,239 --> 01:16:16,520
Chris about this and we're going to be down in Seattle for PA's Prime Chris

1051
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:20,760
isn't attending the show but what's cool about us being in the same city at the

1052
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:24,480
same time for more than like 3 hours this time which we were a little while

1053
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:29,560
ago but we didn't have time to meet up I am uh going to shoehorn myself into a

1054
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:34,199
pillo vlog at some point somehow so we are G to hang out while I'm down there

1055
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:38,920
now we can't back out oh boy oh by the way someone in chat said

1056
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:42,159
type three for boobies I I've been I've been pressing three but nothing's

1057
01:16:42,679 --> 01:16:50,159
happening uh tell me what you're excited

1058
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:51,880
about boobies I I was told by the chat

1059
01:16:50,159 --> 01:16:58,840
room there would be boobies if I pressed three and I'm so disappointed

1060
01:16:55,719 --> 01:17:00,560
um you know sorry to be serious for a

1061
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:04,719
minute no I am married and my wife is hotter than any other woman on the

1062
01:17:02,719 --> 01:17:09,280
planet you know it's amazing what makeup can do because like there was a there

1063
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:14,000
was a porn actress that was at a hockey game not that long ago and the camera

1064
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:20,840
was panning past and caught like the breasts right and you could tell the

1065
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:22,520
cameraman was like and and her face oh

1066
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:27,760
man when she's just like out and about and not made up and you know on the set

1067
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:32,800
wow that you could sort of you could grape cheese with it you know in terms

1068
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:39,880
of what I'm excited about you I I just I I I can't wait for the next Star Wars

1069
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:41,880
movies I can't wait uh to uh to you know

1070
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:46,920
just just experience just live in live in the now and enjoy life every single

1071
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:51,679
day that there's very little that I could say that what I'm looking forward

1072
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:57,560
to more than anything else um I don't know I just uh I enjoy a lot this

1073
01:17:54,440 --> 01:17:59,679
question is is 5 in or 4.7 in 1080P

1074
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:03,000
smartphone form factor a limit now I'm not sure exactly what this viewer means

1075
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:09,120
but what I'll do is I'll interpret that the way that I want to is for you how do

1076
01:18:06,440 --> 01:18:13,040
you feel about fablet and are we moving in sort of a stupid Direction where it

1077
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:16,960
comes to smartphones just other than Apple where it comes to these Android

1078
01:18:15,239 --> 01:18:20,840
smartphone makers which again comes back to that bigger must be better because we

1079
01:18:18,639 --> 01:18:26,159
don't understand the experience thing do they need to be any bigger no I I think

1080
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:31,040
they're they're nice but they just it they don't some people love them some

1081
01:18:28,719 --> 01:18:37,040
people don't I think they're interesting um I think they're interesting that that

1082
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:38,639
my friend is a term that means I don't

1083
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:44,199
want to say what I'm actually thinking right now yeah it's interesting I I'll

1084
01:18:41,639 --> 01:18:49,040
leave it it's interesting all right we've never been

1085
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:54,239
into it very much yeah not really uh do you consider the Moto X a

1086
01:18:52,440 --> 01:18:58,600
better Android phone than the Nexus 4 based on what you've seen so far uh I

1087
01:18:56,560 --> 01:19:03,000
wouldn't go that far I think in terms of consumer adoption it has a possibility

1088
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:07,000
although I guess Motorola had a pull back on a lot of customization options

1089
01:19:04,719 --> 01:19:12,400
because they were having quality control issues with the engraving the other day

1090
01:19:10,199 --> 01:19:15,800
um I think it's a step in the right direction making it more consumer

1091
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:19,280
friendly but I got to tell you my Nexus 4 is still my go-to Android

1092
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:28,199
device all right I think let's see if we've got a couple more here that

1093
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:32,480
asking me about my size preference is a very personal

1094
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:36,800
question at least we didn't ask you about your size out right I appreciate

1095
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:39,960
that even though I do have a 31inch Darth biter in my

1096
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:46,080
office all right well you know what Chris I don't want to keep you forever

1097
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:49,679
and uh we've already given the teaser that uh I have I've invited myself to

1098
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:55,080
your show at some point in the near future so guys if you enjoyed Chris let

1099
01:19:52,639 --> 01:19:59,880
them know by making sure you subscribe youtube.com/ Locker Nome make sure you

1100
01:19:57,679 --> 01:20:03,199
let him know by following him on Twitter make sure that you let him know by

1101
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:08,080
letting him know and make sure you let us know how much you enjoyed Chris so

1102
01:20:05,440 --> 01:20:11,440
that hopefully we can uh gravel hands and knees to maybe bring him back at

1103
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:16,400
some point because this was a total blast man thank you very much here's the

1104
01:20:13,679 --> 01:20:20,400
thing I've probably lost subscribers Now by by doing I'm not to say that you you

1105
01:20:18,719 --> 01:20:24,920
trust me you have far more power than I ever could uh but I wouldn't be

1106
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:30,159
surprised if if I offended anybody and I did not offend you as a listener if you

1107
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:35,199
hate me let me just say I just want to talk to your haters of me right now if I

1108
01:20:32,679 --> 01:20:41,280
can uh I just want to say one thing you haters I'm on this show and you're not

1109
01:20:38,480 --> 01:20:47,960
okay that's really all I wanted to say yeah we were actually you know what is

1110
01:20:43,159 --> 01:20:51,520
funny is I PMD you on YouTube years ago

1111
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:54,040
when I was Tiny and you were like a huge

1112
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:59,320
deal to me to be perfectly honest and I never got a reply from you and so I half

1113
01:20:57,159 --> 01:21:02,400
expected when I messaged you this time that I wasn't even going to get a reply

1114
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:08,400
because you're still a big deal to me man you were a huge Pioneer and you were

1115
01:21:04,679 --> 01:21:11,159
one of the guys that I was following you

1116
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:16,320
and Tiger Direct TV were the ones where I was looking at you from more of a of

1117
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:19,960
an edutainment perspective and I was looking at them from a what a retailer

1118
01:21:18,440 --> 01:21:25,360
can do to build a YouTube channel perspective when I started ncx Tech tips

1119
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:28,040
four years ago so for those who are going to hate on you on this show

1120
01:21:26,639 --> 01:21:32,120
they're not allowed to do that you guys it's not permitted it's okay but I just

1121
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:36,239
wanted to let you know I ignore every YouTube message that's the worst way to

1122
01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:39,920
get a hold of me I didn't know better at the time I did not ignore you on purpose

1123
01:21:38,719 --> 01:21:46,440
I just want to throw that out there YouTube is the work because it's it's impossible to manage I I I don't really

1124
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:49,920
reply to them either I I I understand now but at the time I didn't get it

1125
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:57,080
because I was still replying to every message because I got like one every week right thanks I we'll talk to you

1126
01:21:55,600 --> 01:22:01,440
soon and uh we'll see you when we're down in Seattle this has been a total

1127
01:21:58,719 --> 01:22:06,320
blast absolutely happy to do it all right take care see you

1128
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:09,000
later all right let's just uh well there

1129
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:13,600
you guys have it that was Chris pillo or Locker Nome as the for the artist

1130
01:22:11,480 --> 01:22:17,520
formerly known as Locker Nome let's go let's go with that and I really hope

1131
01:22:15,639 --> 01:22:21,760
that uh that you guys enjoyed having him on as a guest based on how many people

1132
01:22:19,679 --> 01:22:25,120
are tuned into the stream right now I think you guys enjoyed us having him as

1133
01:22:23,480 --> 01:22:29,880
a guest so I will make make sure this is my personal commitment to you now we are

1134
01:22:27,199 --> 01:22:35,639
going to try to bring back Chris at least I guarantee personal commitment we

1135
01:22:32,199 --> 01:22:38,120
will try I shut up man you're killing me

1136
01:22:35,639 --> 01:22:42,040
here let's get back down to business so I was trying to load this page before

1137
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:46,440
and it wasn't working there we go posted by John Lamb on the Forum uh Steve

1138
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:49,840
Balmer about to retire he wrote a letter that talked about sort of all the you

1139
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:55,880
know great things that have happened at Microsoft how they went from I think he

1140
01:22:51,639 --> 01:22:57,560
said 7.5 million do company to a s 7

1141
01:22:55,880 --> 01:23:01,320
billion billion dollar whatever somewhere around some ridiculous metric

1142
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:06,320
that thousand de growth in the time that he's been with the company I I did the

1143
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:08,520
math 7.5 mil to 78 billion which is just

1144
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:13,239
unbelievable he says Senior Management is still committed to devices and

1145
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:18,360
services as a strategy so For Better or For Worse they're still going down that

1146
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:19,960
path and um you know what let's just

1147
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:23,560
move on to the next one this is an interesting talk also related to I'll

1148
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:28,880
let you uh I'll let you cover this one here go check it out okay so this is our

1149
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:34,760
article posted by snow comet on the Linus Tech tips Forum it's the original

1150
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:37,400
article is from VR Zone and AMD says P4

1151
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:43,080
performance advantage over Xbox one may be greater than many expect due to Huma

1152
01:23:40,679 --> 01:23:46,920
which is their homogen or homogeneous unified something AR microarchitecture

1153
01:23:45,480 --> 01:23:52,199
something like that Bas it allows the GPU and the CPU to grab references that

1154
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:55,960
are in RAM on at the exact same time so before they could both grab it off the

1155
01:23:54,199 --> 01:23:59,080
same chip but it would have to be two separate instances of the same

1156
01:23:57,239 --> 01:24:05,000
information now the graphics card and CPU can both grab it which is a huge

1157
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:09,639
benefit part of the problem though is if it's not a console exclusive title

1158
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:14,800
they're going to be developing it not with that feature in mind so we're not

1159
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:20,199
going to see a huge benefit from this unless we do because of apus on the

1160
01:24:17,440 --> 01:24:24,880
desktop unless we do because of that and we will maybe later on okay okay well

1161
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:28,880
later on they're not expecting titles to be able to get that much Advantage from

1162
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:32,960
this but it's it's more of a long-term look at this awesome thing that if

1163
01:24:30,719 --> 01:24:37,120
utilized properly could give a lot more performance so it's a hardware feature

1164
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:41,199
now but I mean I expect a Next Generation or even two generations from

1165
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:44,600
now Apu from AMD to potentially take advantage of this which would mean we

1166
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:49,000
could be looking at a situation where the game gets released for console and

1167
01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:53,400
then gets I mean okay it gets released for PS4 and Xbox One let's say so it is

1168
01:24:51,199 --> 01:24:57,600
able to run with Huma or Huma or whatever you want to call it or is able

1169
01:24:54,800 --> 01:25:02,400
to run without it gets ported to PC where if you have an APU all of a sudden

1170
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:06,600
you can take advantage of that code path that already exists so that's what we

1171
01:25:04,679 --> 01:25:09,360
could be looking at every everything coming out all the information coming

1172
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:13,000
out for consoles right now is just every single time it's like oh wait this is

1173
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:18,440
information for consoles but this is so good for PC so good for PC probably even

1174
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:24,000
better than it is for consoles like this is such a big deal awes yeah we are

1175
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:28,600
color us pretty excited about uh about that particular development right there

1176
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:32,040
so big thanks to everyone who posts news on the lonus tech tips Forum we

1177
01:25:30,440 --> 01:25:36,600
appreciate you guys and we're going to actually burn through a few of these news topics here because the camera is

1178
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:44,080
running on battery today and I actually have no idea how much battery life we

1179
01:25:38,639 --> 01:25:46,400
have left so uh yeah Wacom has a new

1180
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:50,199
tablet like actual tablet not like a drawing tablet well it can it can be

1181
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:53,840
both if you plug it into a PC or a Mac it becomes a drawing tablet if you run

1182
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:57,320
it solo it's either depending on which one you buy an Android tablet or a

1183
01:25:55,960 --> 01:26:01,760
Windows based tablet and they're saying that for professional use you can plug it into a computer but then while you're

1184
01:26:00,679 --> 01:26:08,960
on the road or while you're doing whatever you can still get design work done uh using apps inside of Android or

1185
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:13,119
window Facebook or yeah or whatever you want it's an Android tablet or Windows

1186
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:16,920
tablet they're not cheap no they have a demo demo video that you can check out

1187
01:26:15,119 --> 01:26:21,800
in the thread this was posted by Pixie pay on the uh lus Tech tips Forum so uh

1188
01:26:20,440 --> 01:26:27,920
the Android version is $1,600 for a 32 gig model and the

1189
01:26:24,480 --> 01:26:30,639
Windows version is $2500 for a 512 gig

1190
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:35,239
model however when we want to talk about convergent devices uh the so the

1191
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:38,840
original uh oh source was just wacom's website so when we talk about convergent

1192
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:44,840
devices how flexible is this thing because it's not much bigger than a regular tablet but it's got a

1193
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:47,199
248 uh different um oh yeah sorry I'll

1194
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:51,480
sign out of there uh so it's got 248 different pressure

1195
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:56,560
settings and it is not much thicker than a regular tablet which is just

1196
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:59,960
unbelievable um it's it's awesome because like and another thing is I saw

1197
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:03,199
a whole bunch of people go oh my God the price is so high and I would normally

1198
01:27:01,679 --> 01:27:07,000
jump on that too but it's a walkom tablet yeah still a walkom tablet the

1199
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:11,199
price is going to be crazy high it's a walkom tablet it has that quality in it

1200
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:14,239
and it can be used in that way people are going to be spending around that

1201
01:27:12,679 --> 01:27:17,679
much money well maybe not around that much money but a lot of money on a

1202
01:27:16,119 --> 01:27:22,520
walking tablet anyway so if they could just spend a little bit more and get this increased functionality that's

1203
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:27,400
awesome I mean so $2,500 let's say you bought the biggest iPad available so 128

1204
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:31,239
gig iPad and you bought yourself a Wacom tablet I mean you're already spending a

1205
01:27:29,480 --> 01:27:34,360
whack ton of money anyway maybe go for a Windows tablet that also has a Wacom

1206
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:38,760
tablet built into it I don't know I like that one because then you can get full desktop applications to use with it

1207
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:42,159
right that's so cool it's really expensive but it's so cool and the the

1208
01:27:40,440 --> 01:27:45,000
the storage space on that is insane to me the Android device doesn't make a

1209
01:27:43,480 --> 01:27:48,679
whole lot of sense and I had this conversation with diesel and he

1210
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:54,440
basically said the same thing is like he paid the extra $900 to have a Windows tablet even not

1211
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:59,280
from a creative person I'm not a artistically creative person at all you

1212
01:27:56,400 --> 01:28:02,360
know that neither of us are um if I was in that position I would probably Fork

1213
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:06,000
it out for the Windows one because you just get so much more flexibility and

1214
01:28:04,159 --> 01:28:09,719
the the storage space on it is so much bigger isn't it like I think it's like

1215
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:16,960
500 gigs versus 32 or something 512 versus 32 I mean that uh that that's a

1216
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:19,239
really big deal to me and we're

1217
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:24,679
back we think so we have a

1218
01:28:21,679 --> 01:28:28,800
theory that we're testing right now to

1219
01:28:24,679 --> 01:28:31,960
see if we are going to indeed stay back

1220
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:34,280
but we uh we think that uh you know baby

1221
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:39,600
got back or something like that it's a song about babies maybe

1222
01:28:37,199 --> 01:28:45,119
you're not a parent you wouldn't understand there is probably a remix of

1223
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:48,000
that isn't there oh probably some some

1224
01:28:45,119 --> 01:28:54,360
actual baby one that is so classic anyway so without further Ado

1225
01:28:51,719 --> 01:28:58,159
folks Let's uh jump into our next topic here I know this is sort of random that

1226
01:28:56,199 --> 01:29:01,760
we're uh that we're jumping back into things here I know that's pretty unusual

1227
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:07,920
and I have no idea how many people are even watching but uh you know it's worth

1228
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:10,719
worth a shot giving things another go we

1229
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:20,679
are live again I'm going to tweet that out right now so AMD has just announced

1230
01:29:15,719 --> 01:29:24,719
massive price drops on their new

1231
01:29:20,679 --> 01:29:28,199
9590 processor so this was the CPU

1232
01:29:24,719 --> 01:29:32,119
with the 500 watt

1233
01:29:28,199 --> 01:29:35,040
TDP which did I say 500 cuz I meant 220

1234
01:29:32,119 --> 01:29:41,000
wat TDP sorry but it was the CPU that now costs

1235
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:42,639
uh oh well see this is what happens when

1236
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:48,400
my flow gets interrupted they dropped it by $500 it has a 220 watt TDP making it

1237
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:52,600
pretty much about as hot running as anything could possibly be it consumes a

1238
01:29:50,119 --> 01:29:58,040
ton of power and the performance while looking okay

1239
01:29:54,639 --> 01:30:01,080
well what was like like just ridiculous

1240
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:02,560
for $900 I mean it's a it's a lot more

1241
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:05,679
feasible now but if you bought one already I feel bad for you and my kind

1242
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:12,159
of theory about this is what they're trying to do is make it so that people can spend their excess money on water

1243
01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:15,639
cooling so they don't blow up the chip

1244
01:30:12,159 --> 01:30:18,119
yeah maybe I mean I I don't I don't I

1245
01:30:15,639 --> 01:30:22,280
don't know exactly what the uh the logic behind actually asking that much for the

1246
01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:25,960
product in the first place was and I don't know what the logic behind

1247
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:31,000
slashing it by that much is unless they were literally selling none of them like

1248
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:37,520
zero so maybe there weren't even cuz honestly okay working at NC if there was

1249
01:30:34,159 --> 01:30:39,199
like um if there was like an issue like

1250
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:44,840
okay like we've got like 500 of these and we're selling like 10 a week and

1251
01:30:42,440 --> 01:30:49,320
it's at this price we we might look at it and go okay well how many have we

1252
01:30:46,239 --> 01:30:51,159
sold have we sold like two can we just

1253
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:55,880
like reach out to those two guys and like deal with them and then you know

1254
01:30:54,520 --> 01:31:02,080
not worry about all the people who are going to be upset when we drop the price by $100 or something like in this Casa

1255
01:31:00,199 --> 01:31:06,560
in that case it's only on products where there's like a ton of margin like it was

1256
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:09,400
like a weird closeout deal or something like that where you just you're

1257
01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:13,320
experimenting with the pricing trying to find what the market will bear maybe

1258
01:31:11,119 --> 01:31:16,639
what AMD did was they tried to find out if the market will bear this discovered

1259
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:20,679
that they've sold none of them and then they were like okay well we're not going to be upsetting anyone if we drop the

1260
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:24,040
price now that was another thing I was thinking is yes it's a huge price drop

1261
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:29,320
and yes my first reaction was holy holy crap if I bought one of those I'd be pissed then my second reaction was did

1262
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:33,520
anyone buy any of those is it is there going to be anyone to be pissed I have

1263
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:37,880
no idea I mean I know NC opened one to build a demo

1264
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:43,080
system other than that have they sold any so like retailers and system

1265
01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:44,520
integrators yeah it's like it and then

1266
01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:49,960
like crazy benchmarkers that are getting them for free yeah I don't know I had a

1267
01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:55,280
great question uh the other day on Twitter someone was asking if they

1268
01:31:51,639 --> 01:31:57,080
released the 9590 does that mean fx8350

1269
01:31:55,280 --> 01:32:00,800
is which are basically the same chip but bin not quite as well does that mean

1270
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:05,400
that some of the best overclocking fx8350 is are essentially not going to

1271
01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:09,400
exist anymore and the answer is yes they skimming it yeah yeah because if they're

1272
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:13,000
skim the only way to get what you know is for sure going to be the best

1273
01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:17,880
overclocking chips is to buy the highest Bend part typically now there are other

1274
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:22,600
factors such as what Intel or AMD or NVIDIA whoever else are selecting for if

1275
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:28,719
they're selecting for power consumption versus if they're selecting for um heat

1276
01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:31,159
output or or whatever those factors are

1277
01:32:28,719 --> 01:32:35,080
um that can affect it too but in general going for the highest end one gives you

1278
01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:38,159
the best chance of overclocking this has always been the case but even then we

1279
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:42,320
might be talking about differences of a couple hundred mehz or we might be talking about differences where they run

1280
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:49,239
at the same speed but this one the lower end one outputs a lot more heat or something along those lines so um

1281
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:52,639
someone says uh on Twitch chat uh lonus I love how I search for FX 9000 Series

1282
01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:57,000
chip and you're like the first two results

1283
01:32:54,560 --> 01:33:00,840
sweet great work and I don't think we ever even made a video about it which is

1284
01:32:58,480 --> 01:33:05,800
sort of the most ridiculous thing there all right so let's uh you know what

1285
01:33:03,199 --> 01:33:10,159
be uh because we had some issues with the stream before I'm going to do my uh

1286
01:33:08,159 --> 01:33:14,800
Squarespace thing right now so if you guys are actually oh I hope I have it

1287
01:33:12,480 --> 01:33:19,719
yeah there it is so if you haven't seen it already then that's uh that's great

1288
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:24,400
if you have seen it already then that's great too so we've actually

1289
01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:29,920
redone and I'm just going to head over to Linus Medi group.com or Linus medag

1290
01:33:27,159 --> 01:33:34,880
group. squarespace.com we have redone the Linus Medi Group website with

1291
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:36,639
Squarespace so we have uh partnered up

1292
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:40,400
with them as an official sponsor of the W show now so you can head over

1293
01:33:38,119 --> 01:33:45,040
squarespace.com and if you use code Linus 8 you can get 10% off your first

1294
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:48,920
purchase basically what Squarespace is is it is an all-in-one solution for

1295
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:52,760
designing your website publishing your website they'll take care of all the

1296
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:55,560
things like if you buy a full year you get a free domain with your purchase so

1297
01:33:54,440 --> 01:34:00,639
they'll take care of making sure that your domain's pointed in the right place they have e-commerce built in it's great

1298
01:33:59,440 --> 01:34:05,639
for things like portfolios um probably the the the only

1299
01:34:04,119 --> 01:34:11,000
reason that we can't use it for everything is because they don't have integrated like for they it's not a

1300
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:15,040
forum so Linus Tech tips.com won't be switching over to Squarespace but Linus

1301
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:20,080
Medi group.com is so I want to give you guys a chance to check this out and here

1302
01:34:18,159 --> 01:34:23,760
we go so it's Linus medag group. squarespace.com and a lot of this right

1303
01:34:22,239 --> 01:34:27,159
now is just placeholders so over here here on the right next to the picture

1304
01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:31,480
you can see there's just a little like blurb of text but we can make it so that

1305
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:34,639
as people cycle through these um there's like some useful information about the

1306
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:39,280
different things that lus Media Group does it's touch capable without any sort

1307
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:43,040
of difficulty so you can see I can move that around with my finger or I can use

1308
01:34:41,239 --> 01:34:47,960
a mouse doesn't really matter or you can actually press the buttons it also

1309
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:49,119
scales down to different sizes so if you

1310
01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:55,840
want to access it on your phone or tablet or whatever else they have over 20 themes that are all highly scal

1311
01:34:54,199 --> 01:35:01,239
and their plans are also scalable as well so if you end up with a lot more traffic on your site than you were

1312
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:05,400
initially expecting then it can scale up and give you more bandwidth as needed so

1313
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:11,199
over here is the end of our portfolio shows all the partners we've worked with in the past which of course now includes

1314
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:14,920
Squarespace so there they are right there all right so you can also check

1315
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:18,400
out some information about our team we have four people at lus Media Group so

1316
01:35:16,639 --> 01:35:22,520
you can learn about those guys if you happen to be interested in that you can

1317
01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:28,159
get in touch with us although uh for the most part that info medag group.com

1318
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:29,800
email is strictly like business related

1319
01:35:28,159 --> 01:35:33,960
stuff anything else will not get replied to or even looked at because I'm not even the one who monitors it uh

1320
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:39,520
different ways to watch you probably already know about the WAN Show so there you have it guys speaking of the WAN

1321
01:35:37,679 --> 01:35:45,360
show Squarespace is now a proud sponsor of the W show and um diesel actually

1322
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:50,199
spent probably about six hours on this website compared to the old Linus Media

1323
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:54,280
Group website which was a uh shoot what were we using someone already found a

1324
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:59,440
typo yeah I'm sure there is it's in progress you guys diesel did the whole

1325
01:35:56,719 --> 01:36:03,760
thing in like 6 hours um but what were we using before WordPress WordPress

1326
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:08,760
WordPress with a custom theme it was way more work to set up it's um very

1327
01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:12,400
customizable which is cool about WordPress you're not locked into a

1328
01:36:10,199 --> 01:36:16,320
particular theme but they also it's not as TurnKey so uh didn't look as good we

1329
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:20,000
spent a lot more time on it kind of wasted the time because we never really

1330
01:36:18,119 --> 01:36:23,760
sent anyone to that website or finished it yeah I mean that's the problem with

1331
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:29,320
these projects is when you don't finish then they are not finished we were

1332
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:35,600
trying to make an artsy good-look site so not me and then it's WordPress so not

1333
01:36:33,719 --> 01:36:40,840
diesel yeah so was not a really good situation don't

1334
01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:43,920
get me wrong like custom coding if you're going to do all of your HTML and

1335
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:49,560
all of your CSS and just custom build your entire website you can make something better than you can make on

1336
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:54,199
Squarespace but it takes so much time and it takes so much resources if you

1337
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:56,800
want to do it faster and honestly better than what most people are going to be

1338
01:36:55,199 --> 01:37:02,440
able to do they have advaned mode now so you can dink around with the HTML and

1339
01:36:58,320 --> 01:37:04,360
CSS I asked uh bet or something about

1340
01:37:02,440 --> 01:37:08,639
that yeah really can you can you edit everything I have no idea I if you can

1341
01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:12,119
edit everything that's actually potentially really cool it's kind of

1342
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:15,280
neat anyway so one way one way or the other guys uh we're going to turn into

1343
01:37:13,679 --> 01:37:19,040
paying customers cuz I don't want to be endorsing something that we're not

1344
01:37:16,719 --> 01:37:21,880
actually paying for as a service so right now we're on a trial account you

1345
01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:28,880
can sign up for a trial with no credit card but if you do decide to buy it please do do use offer code Linus 8 and

1346
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:32,199
that concludes that let's move into our

1347
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:33,840
next topic here guys so again big big

1348
01:37:32,199 --> 01:37:39,360
thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring the W show we really appreciate it um

1349
01:37:36,119 --> 01:37:43,679
speaking of things that you can pay for

1350
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:43,679
monthly should you so desire

1351
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:52,239
it the Elder Scrolls Online is asking

1352
01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:53,800
for a monthly fee should I just shut up

1353
01:37:52,239 --> 01:37:58,360
for like 10 minutes so we can go to the next topic um no no I want you to I want

1354
01:37:57,159 --> 01:38:03,599
you to cover this one so that was submitted by top war gamer on the lonus

1355
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:06,239
tech tips forum and uh slick go for it

1356
01:38:03,599 --> 01:38:11,040
if uh if you want a reference back to a previous live stream that we've

1357
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:15,360
had um sorry if you want to reference

1358
01:38:14,199 --> 01:38:20,360
back to a previous live stream that we've had uh when wow I can't remember

1359
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:24,320
his name they have too many different names for all their different stuff but

1360
01:38:22,159 --> 01:38:29,199
Logan I I was thinking Tech Syndicate and then I was thinking raise the world

1361
01:38:26,599 --> 01:38:33,440
thinking uh when Logan was on we talked about free to-play games and the the

1362
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:37,639
payment mode that most people are calling out Elders girls should have

1363
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:40,800
been is a free-to-play game now one thing Logan brought up that I believe

1364
01:38:39,119 --> 01:38:45,880
both of us agreed with is free-to-play games putting no barrier to entry brings

1365
01:38:43,480 --> 01:38:49,159
in a not strong Community every 9-year-old every single person that you

1366
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:55,480
don't want playing that game will be playing that game and the communities in

1367
01:38:52,119 --> 01:38:57,480
payto playay games have been higher now

1368
01:38:55,480 --> 01:39:00,400
is in my opinion a subscription model the best not necessarily they could have

1369
01:38:59,119 --> 01:39:06,320
done something like Guild Wars they could have done something like something else but the angle pay for the game and

1370
01:39:04,239 --> 01:39:10,719
then no monthly fee I mean that to me isn't a bad one either yeah but then

1371
01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:15,840
okay okay but but where they're coming from is if they did any other model so

1372
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:19,080
say they did The Guild Wars model Guild Wars released his expansions fairly

1373
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:22,800
often that's where they get their recurring income from now you don't have

1374
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:26,440
to buy the expansions but if you don't buy the expansion you're not able to do

1375
01:39:24,440 --> 01:39:31,000
everything the other Scrolls team is saying well with this IP you've always

1376
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:37,159
been able to do everything it's a free roam very do

1377
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:39,360
whatever you want IP now and IP like

1378
01:39:37,159 --> 01:39:42,599
intellectual property not like Internet Protocol yeah sorry um now where I'm

1379
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:47,360
coming from with that is there's always been expansions and stuff but I guess from a single player's perspective it's

1380
01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:51,920
not like you're locked off compared to other players cuz it's single player so you're free to do everything that is

1381
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:56,440
currently in the game for you so in a multiplayer situation they're saying

1382
01:39:54,159 --> 01:40:00,760
you can't not do something that someone else can do so you'll always be able to

1383
01:39:58,280 --> 01:40:05,080
do everything if it's subscription based that was interesting and I was sold I

1384
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:08,360
was okay with it now if you looked at my notes that I added on there they're also

1385
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:12,760
adding a cash shop so that that's where things start

1386
01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:17,159
to get a little bit dicey to me because if you're going to charge everyone to

1387
01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:22,239
play at all then how can you have free to play stuff implemented as well like

1388
01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:28,560
paying so so I mean what is this like I think so quote from uh vg247.com

1389
01:40:26,239 --> 01:40:31,679
is it's probably safe to speculate that these will include a large range of

1390
01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:36,520
