WEBVTT 00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:09.719 welcome to the W show guys we are in 00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:11.480 HD woo 2013 I know right it's like we've 00:00:09.719 --> 00:00:16.240 caught up to the entire rest of the internet and uh actually here I should 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 00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:23.039 have relocated the entire setup of all 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 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:30.199 up sort of having some technical difficulties we only forgot one small 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:34.440 adapter which for anyone who's ever relocated a bunch of tech crap one small 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 00:00:36.879 --> 00:00:42.719 house anymore it's all at lus Media Group headquarters so we don't have 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:46.280 anything but what we do have is a fantastic show for you guys today so if 00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:50.680 you've been sitting on the twitch Channel then you'll have probably seen 00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:54.879 this already in the video introduction that we upload to Youtube that I 00:00:51.960 --> 00:01:01.879 normally record locally locally and then upload but at any rate Windows Live 00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:04.600 sorry do it live do it live ah Windows 8 00:01:01.879 --> 00:01:07.960 is no longer permitted on hardware bot you can't Benchmark competitively on 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:12.759 Windows 8 so we're going to tell you more about that later uh space glasses 00:01:10.759 --> 00:01:16.119 space glasses they're crazy you they can simulate things that you touch in midair 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:21.680 are you the only one calling them space glasses no the link is to space glasses 00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:25.560 look space glasses website I didn't even notice like I was looking at the company 00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:29.159 name I was watching the videos about it I was like where did he get Space 00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:34.040 glasses from space glasses although what's funny about their company logo 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 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:42.600 we'll talk about that later but remind me Maxwell is is rumored to release in 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:45.920 quarter 1 of 2014 which might make NVIDIA look a little bit scared at the 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:50.000 whole volcanic islands thing coming out because remember guys the way that AMD 00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:54.439 and NVIDIA control information if there's a leak they wanted there to be a 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 00:01:57.039 --> 00:02:02.439 got stuff coming it might be because they 00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:06.079 want to talk about how you should probably not quite run out and buy an 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:10.039 AMD graphics card just yet please uh so that's that could be very interesting 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:15.000 the graphics war is heating up again it's exciting um speaking of exciting 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:20.879 things if you are Microsoft you are either excited or not excited Steve 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:24.280 Balmer is retiring he's giving an awful 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:26.959 long lead time so he's saying sometime 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:30.400 in the next 12 months he will be retiring um but I mean that's 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:35.239 appropriate given that they haven't picked a successor yet and you know it's 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 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:43.760 entire year more y uh before just sort of leaving them defend for themselves so 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 00:02:46.959 --> 00:02:53.030 up a notch with the intro which I will have to lean over 00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:56.210 here to do 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:26.959 so guys uh last week was a bit of a fiasco with our whole Squarespace thing 00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:29.120 but this week is not Squarespace is the 00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:35.519 easy way to create a beautiful website just visit squ space.com Linus and use 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:37.120 the offer code Linus 8 for 10% off new 00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:40.720 accounts you're going to want to check this out and we actually have something 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:45.080 really cool to show you guys later on that I have had diesel the intern 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:48.799 working on throughout this week using Squarespace so we have a bit of an 00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:54.799 updated Linus Media Group website which I think looks pretty good and uh took a 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:58.239 lot less time than the older WordPress based ones so uh guys you're going to 00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:02.760 want to check that out so without further Ado let's get into it hardware 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:08.360 bot banss Windows 8 benchmarks due to RTC issue so basically if you decrease 00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:11.040 the base clock and increase your multiplier we should start with some 00:04:09.799 --> 00:04:16.600 background because not everyone's going to know what a hardware bot is okay okay 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:21.079 so hardware bot guys is sort of the governing Authority on competitive 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 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:34.479 catalog and give Awards to the people who are really at the top of their game 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:36.600 it's kind of like the um the uh the feal 00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:39.840 standards and measurements whatever those guys are in that South Park 00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:45.440 episode with the giant turd so they oversee all this stuff uh even if only 00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:49.759 the kinds of people who you know are really into computers just like kinds of 00:04:47.479 --> 00:04:54.280 people who are really into turd size might actually care about it they 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:57.199 dedicate a an unbelievable amount of effort into making sure that 00:04:55.400 --> 00:05:02.160 everything's fair and everything's on the up and up which ain't easy with 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:04.440 anything digital because all these 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:10.479 overclocker guys so easy to spoof things they're tuners and Tweakers and Geeks 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:12.759 and hackers and you got to be sort of 00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:16.800 fighting that while helping them to anyway okay so that's hardware bot so 00:05:15.880 --> 00:05:21.880 what's an RTC the RTC is the clock in Windows so 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 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 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:36.440 rely on RTC benchmarks some benchmarks not all benchmarks rely on RTC um 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:41.720 anything scheduled applications can rely on RTC so if you play um like if you 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:45.600 ever played older Windows 3.1 games like I had this one game called Goose where 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 00:05:49.479 --> 00:05:55.080 um what happened was my family upgraded our computer and all of a sudden the 00:05:52.520 --> 00:06:00.600 tank went so fast I couldn't do anything because that application was not taking 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:06.280 time from the systems r TC it was actually just running as fast as the 00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:09.160 processor could possibly run it and okay 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 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:16.840 certain Intel platforms and Windows 8 so 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:22.840 the base clock is how the clock speed of your CPU which should not be confused 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:24.000 with the system clock that's running 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 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:32.800 clock speed of the CPU which is totally wrong now crazy it's insane it should 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 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:41.520 is derived from the multiplier times the base clock so when you're increasing or 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:45.319 decreasing the base clock what are we seeing here so what's happening is 00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:49.280 they're they're allowing for a bigger time window by decreasing their base 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:55.599 clock but then not making their CPU Faster by increasing their multiplier M 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:57.639 so the CPU has instead of say 5 minutes 00:06:55.599 --> 00:07:00.879 It'll have 5 minutes and 18 seconds to complete the Benchmark and in that 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 00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:08.639 themselves 18 more seconds but they're at the same speed they were before right 00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:14.199 so they decrease their base clock increase their multiplier give themselves a bigger window and then 00:07:11.919 --> 00:07:19.680 achieve a better score now to be clear Hardware bought doesn't necessarily um 00:07:17.440 --> 00:07:23.319 think that this was being intentionally exploited at least that's the official 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 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 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:37.240 people like uh you know I was talking to 00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:40.240 um Andre Yang and JJ from ASUS where my whole thing to them was well changing 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:45.080 Bas clock doesn't really change performance and they were like well it 00:07:42.039 --> 00:07:46.639 can in certain cases so for all we know 00:07:45.080 --> 00:07:50.400 Bas clock can change performance in certain cases this is true but for all 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.080 we know some of the perceived improvements in performance we were 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:58.879 getting from base clock tuning might have been because we didn't have a 00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:02.199 second stopwatch running next to this 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:05.599 other system and it's as much as a 7% 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:08.479 difference 7% difference if you uh like 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 00:08:10.280 --> 00:08:15.759 and stuff you can you can adjust that difference a little bit so depending how 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 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 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:29.840 someone else by like half a percent so 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:34.039 that it's believable looks reasonable 00:08:29.840 --> 00:08:35.320 but yeah very very fascinating and you 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 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:46.120 exactly yeah yeah like apparently the changes were made so that Windows 8 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 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:53.959 to run the new RTC than it used to be so 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 00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:05.800 to be for Microsoft to patch this when they still have to 00:09:02.680 --> 00:09:07.760 enable you know whatever other devices 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 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 00:09:15.079 --> 00:09:23.120 have to run two separate clocks it just gets really awkward right I mean the 00:09:20.079 --> 00:09:25.279 idea of RT and Windows 8 is that aside 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:29.920 from x86 compatibility they're supposed to be and then how much do you expect 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 00:09:33.079 --> 00:09:38.760 a whole bunch of Niche overclockers which I love but does Microsoft care 00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:42.399 that much like they've obviously been moving away from game but we don't know 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:48.160 what else this affects I mean for all we know this could affect um simulations of 00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:51.800 oil pipeline drilling y or something like that so if something like that 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 00:09:54.519 --> 00:10:02.480 the overclocking Community is uh you know awesome but not that big we we love 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 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:12.040 Locker gnome or Chris pillo as uh depending on at what point in history 00:10:09.839 --> 00:10:18.160 youve followed him or how closely you'll have probably heard of him though he's 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:20.240 one of the pioneers of tech videos to to 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 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 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:31.000 going today so hopefully we're going to get that going pretty quick just wanted 00:10:28.680 --> 00:10:36.920 to bring that up and our next topic should we jump right into EA might as 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:41.839 well I yeah might as well EA moment we need like an intro 00:10:39.760 --> 00:10:46.440 thing for this so that we can like really do it 00:10:44.079 --> 00:10:50.120 properly I mean they didn't do anything bad this week they didn't do anything 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:55.320 bad so our source for this one is Escapist magazine and like you know they 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 00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:03.760 offers full re funds for unsatisfied 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:07.160 origin customers now my first reaction 00:11:03.760 --> 00:11:09.839 to this was I was like okay it's 00:11:07.160 --> 00:11:15.160 Escapist so they're probably trolling EA because EA is offering refunds on Origin 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 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:22.959 to expect from these guys but 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 00:11:24.839 --> 00:11:30.720 physical retail so with physical retail you buy a game you try and return it no 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 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 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 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 00:11:44.680 --> 00:11:51.399 serial number means nothing yeah back before that you could return them so 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:56.360 it's actually the the digital rights that are making it so 00:11:54.160 --> 00:12:01.600 that retailers can't take games back and from my perspective I'm looking at a 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:04.079 digital piece of merchandise going well 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:07.240 hold on a minute why can't steam give you a 00:12:04.959 --> 00:12:12.040 refund I totally could because they can remove it from your account and that's 00:12:08.760 --> 00:12:13.399 the only way you have to use this thing 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 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 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:26.079 I think EA has found a very nice balance 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:31.160 here so they're calling it the great game guarantee it's only running on EA 00:12:28.800 --> 00:12:36.600 titles irony just weird no I understand it 00:12:35.040 --> 00:12:41.160 because how would you get a third party developer to to take a game back well 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 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 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 00:12:51.199 --> 00:12:57.600 you have this batch of keys if you get returned you just put that back into 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:59.399 inventory and resell it unless the 00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:02.279 license terms you have with the developer don't allow you to do that 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 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:14.399 only um they are allowing either 24 00:13:10.760 --> 00:13:17.040 hours after you first launch the game or 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:21.199 7 days after you buy the title so they're giving you whichever comes first 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 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 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 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 00:13:34.959 --> 00:13:42.040 to protect you from oh it's not compatible with my graphics card or like 00:13:39.560 --> 00:13:48.440 you know Crossfire stutters all over the balls and you know crisis 2 or you or 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 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 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 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 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:09.120 fix the bug and I think this puts the right kind of pressure on the game 00:14:05.800 --> 00:14:11.519 developers too to stop releasing you 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:16.800 know day one or day two or day three patches because now the pressure is 00:14:14.079 --> 00:14:20.399 going to be on the EA teams to deliver a working title at launch because 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 00:14:23.920 --> 00:14:29.720 indirectly make EA potentially a better 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 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:37.440 just release it and then they're stuck with it hopefully it does that hopefully 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 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 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 00:14:49.560 --> 00:14:55.199 Battle Log Battle Log oh Battle Log okay 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 00:14:57.160 --> 00:15:03.440 enticing because steam you have no ability to do this steam has summer 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 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 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:21.600 are we getting I mean are we getting closer to digital I mean this is crazy 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:24.160 where digital retail is behind physical 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:30.240 retail for customer satisfaction policies isn't that insane where Amazon 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 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:38.360 lot of the times you know a lot for particularly items where there's some 00:15:36.800 --> 00:15:41.920 actual margin built into them they'll even ship a return label for you to ship 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:44.720 it back to not only are they not getting your money for the transaction they're 00:15:43.319 --> 00:15:48.600 going to eat shipping back on it they're losing money on it whereas steam there 00:15:46.800 --> 00:15:53.759 is no shipping no they could even make it an automated system apply for refund 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:40.680 I am I I'm like I'm like gushing about 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 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.480 love steam compare them to valve and Blizzard at this point though yeah I 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:52.480 mean look at blizzard who could be more Draconian than blizzard about no you pay 00:16:50.319 --> 00:16:56.880 you own I mean look at how broken some of 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 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.720 it so I uh I I I love this Diablo 3 00:17:03.199 --> 00:17:08.760 launch imagine how many returns they would have gotten for Diablo 3 launch I 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 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:20.559 sports game is like you know going to have the right stats for you know 00:17:16.959 --> 00:17:25.480 whoever anyway moving into Diablo I 00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:29.480 Diablo II Reaper of Souls expansion is 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:31.760 coming we don't know when no but it's 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 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 00:17:37.600 --> 00:17:42.440 guys so it was revealed at Gamescom and 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:46.440 there's actually quite a lot of information given about it the let's 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:52.559 start with the less important stuff I guess so there's a new 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:54.120 class um that is going to be called the 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 00:17:56.320 --> 00:18:00.880 didn't see that one coming 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 00:18:02.919 --> 00:18:10.400 were going to have more CL anyways well they were saving it for yeah expansions 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:12.039 I guess I mean but like really yeah I 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 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:23.240 Hunter Wizard and Rogue basically or 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:27.039 whatever they call it now I don't remember anyway okay so they had a few 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 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 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:41.320 I want to talk about the new loot system loot 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:42.320 2.0 they've actually taken I mean look 00:18:41.320 --> 00:18:47.640 at this I'm going to say something positive about blizzard today too 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:52.760 positivity day I know it's like the good news 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:56.679 show uh so the new loot system is going 00:18:52.760 --> 00:18:58.280 to adapt the drops to be fewer so your 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 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 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 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:19.520 stupid stuff anymore but it's going to be a fewer better drops more tailored 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:20.960 more and in addition to that something 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 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:32.600 looked like okay you were just kind of farming gold so you could buy things in 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:34.520 the auction house which is just like oh 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 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 00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:45.679 all the gear that takes the satisfaction out of a Dungeon Crawler what's fun 00:19:44.760 --> 00:19:50.880 about grinding unless there's like the thrill 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:54.720 of getting the drop which is much lower when you fully expect to just be farming 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 00:19:57.600 --> 00:20:04.159 like so legit and not anything to do with anything you 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 00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:13.919 you know Diablo I accounting Edition yeah instead of the actual excitement of 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 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 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 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:33.640 could go buy whatever sword I want CU that's basically what it was so I 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 00:20:35.760 --> 00:20:42.080 there's a new Artisan that allows you to reroll Stats on regular 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 00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:48.919 buy something or you you you get something and it's like oh this is like 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 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 00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:06.280 doing something right just a really weird combination 00:21:04.320 --> 00:21:10.880 um how's that coming uh talking talking to Chris on 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 00:21:12.919 --> 00:21:21.120 so he's uh throwing he's throwing coms on his Surface Pro and is definitely 00:21:17.600 --> 00:21:23.520 working on it now so uh uh add lonus 00:21:21.120 --> 00:21:27.880 Tech to uh 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 00:21:29.360 --> 00:21:34.360 matter of getting the uh the technical the technical things sort of worked out 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 00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:44.159 Ben Affleck is Batman come on although as long as he 00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:49.799 doesn't do the like I'm Ben Affleck and I have throat 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:55.559 cancer also I'm a superhero like thing I do that annoyed 00:21:52.880 --> 00:22:01.120 me so much yeah it actually made the movies like aside from that they were 00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:03.799 amazing and he Ledger is basically 00:22:01.120 --> 00:22:10.880 like the best thing to ever happen to Batman or basically my childhood ever uh 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:14.360 oh I can I can be a Manchild I was like 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:16.400 wait what I mean uh that movie par I 00:22:14.360 --> 00:22:19.080 loved Dark Knight because okay so dark knight one thing you just mentioned we 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 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 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 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:35.840 at the moment but uh Heath fleder when 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:39.000 he was casted as the Joker got a whole bunch of 00:22:36.679 --> 00:22:43.120 flak because of previous movies that he had done 10 Things I Hate About You was 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:46.320 an awesome movie so whatever he he didn't look like he would 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 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 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 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 00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:08.240 diple so we give him full marks for a 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 00:23:09.919 --> 00:23:17.200 Unstoppable badass and that and you're going to put him next to 00:23:14.320 --> 00:23:22.600 Superman so like Batman's already the redheaded stepchild of of that 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:24.360 particular superhero team up and uh 00:23:22.600 --> 00:23:29.720 speaking of speaking of superhero team ups and redheaded stepchilds and Batman 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:31.840 versus Superman um this out so this was 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 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 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:45.880 I'm not monitoring at all am I think it's 00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:50.159 working I have no idea what the audio level is like but anyway the point is 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 00:23:52.919 --> 00:23:59.559 came up um in no small part because of the upcoming Batman Superman crossover 00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:05.039 is like how helpless is is Batman let's go Batman versus Superman 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:10.360 he loses cuz the stupid arguments have been like oh well Batman can afford 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:14.480 Kryptonite if he has like Kryptonite that star things that he can throw at 00:24:12.320 --> 00:24:19.159 him how do you hit Superman with a star yeah it's not going to 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 00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:28.440 me about Superman a lot how does he how well no it's that 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 00:24:30.360 --> 00:24:38.039 like defeated by his hubris or his tragic flaw or anything like that it's 00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:42.039 like defeated by sheer utter stupidity but yeah that's the argument as to why 00:24:40.320 --> 00:24:47.080 Batman could possibly win is Batman's the opposite he always wins by his 00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:52.480 intelligence and planning and cunning you can be as cunning as you want but if 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:54.159 someone like punches so hard that they 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 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 00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:07.399 eyes but what if he what if he never gets a chance why does Superman never 00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:12.120 get why does he ever get close to anything he should just laser eye 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 00:25:14.159 --> 00:25:22.480 hurt an innocent bystander well then he should like lasery the tire of the car 00:25:19.120 --> 00:25:24.600 so perfectly that like right like there 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:29.200 should never Superman's an idiot he always gets in terrible 00:25:27.399 --> 00:25:34.799 terrible situations Superman's a dumb jock yeah and and and Batman is the very 00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:38.960 intelligent cunning planning person so Superman just runs 00:25:36.399 --> 00:25:44.159 around and that's actually Indiana Jones that you were going for there you know 00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:46.840 what Indiana Jones versus either of them 00:25:44.159 --> 00:25:52.799 go what oh man see Batman always sets up 00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:55.760 situations if you set up a situation with all his blinging amounts of money 00:25:54.200 --> 00:26:00.120 and bought all the Kryptonite ever he might actually be able to win but if you 00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:04.200 put in a small closed room and had a fist fight which is apparently your 00:26:01.919 --> 00:26:06.720 description of it then yeah Superman's obviously going to 00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:13.320 win okay now if Batman is Ben 00:26:10.919 --> 00:26:18.279 Affleck I don't know then we're maybe giving Batman too 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 00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:27.440 fits this role now he can surprise me like Heath Ledger that would be awesome 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 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 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:39.480 Heath Ledger wasn't dead oh man I I I I 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 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:49.799 don't know it's not exactly his style of 00:26:47.520 --> 00:26:54.159 role yeah all right you introduce our next topic I got a thing going on here 00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:59.200 all right one second so Oculus is looking to 00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:03.919 solve simulator sickness simulator sickness is not like motion sickness 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:07.840 motion sickness is when um there's all this motion but you can't visually 00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:11.279 perceive things moving stimulator sickness is when you visually perceive 00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:15.480 things moving and there's not all this motion so it has been giving people a 00:27:14.080 --> 00:27:19.679 lot of dizzy spells a lot of headaches people have thrown up stuff like that so 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 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 00:27:25.159 --> 00:27:30.840 to an incredible degree where it won't be that big of a problem because right 00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:35.440 now it is fairly common for people to get simulator sickness did you get it 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 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 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 00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:54.840 think it another thing for us though is that that wasn't fair we were 00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:56.960 moving oh okay cuz I thought about this 00:27:54.840 --> 00:28:00.000 we were we were not sitting planted in a chair we were moving around 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 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:10.120 interesting experiments while they'll have people lay down and then have them 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 00:28:11.760 --> 00:28:19.039 of freak out a little bit um and that is going to be interesting 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 00:28:21.679 --> 00:28:28.240 out especially fast movement so if you whip around or if you're on a roller 00:28:26.080 --> 00:28:32.279 coaster and you go down and your body isn't moving your head is supposed to 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 00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:38.840 this is that I would join the chat too and then you can monitor through 00:28:37.120 --> 00:28:46.679 there uh that works okay sure okay um so okay 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:50.600 on the other hand this could be great for guys like virtuix with the Omni 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 00:28:53.960 --> 00:29:00.279 that is intended to allow you to move around and walk around and run around 00:28:58.080 --> 00:29:05.120 sort of like running and gunning with oculus rift um so if it ends up being 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 00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:13.080 physical condition of Gamers everywhere and great for companies that want to 00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:16.960 make accessories for for products like Oculus so and not that Omni wasn't 00:29:15.120 --> 00:29:21.559 already legit but this just makes it so much more legit because if if you are 00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:26.840 someone who is afflicted by simulator sickness you can get an omni and solve 00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:29.000 that problem hopefully very very cool 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 00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:37.399 Squarespace and then we're going to bring Chris pillo in after the break so 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 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 00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:53.080 I'll try and find it but um I can has 00:29:49.919 --> 00:29:54.279 banned dotless domains Google was trying 00:29:53.080 --> 00:30:01.000 to get HTTP search no www.n.com 00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:06.279 and it hasn't happened yet there aren't any yet but they have preemptively 00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:07.640 banned them um this is apparently a 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 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 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 00:30:18.760 --> 00:30:24.960 about the exact domain personally um but 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 00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:32.320 but I can't and I can talks so I can 00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:37.519 does they are the internet Corporation for assigned names and numbers which is 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 00:30:39.159 --> 00:30:44.399 ridiculous but I didn't remember exactly what it was assign names and numbers 00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:51.559 isn't that big of a deal but internet Corporation I find hilarious um yeah 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 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 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 00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:10.799 yep and wherever he is there we go add 00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:16.320 friend and in theory we should be able to monitor things 00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:20.320 so here we go slick 00:31:16.320 --> 00:31:24.000 pickup hey y Chris can you hear us I can 00:31:20.320 --> 00:31:26.240 hear you hey hey that's fantastic so uh 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 00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:34.679 yourself for those who have been living under a rock and have never heard of you 00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:41.320 that would be fantastic as well hello world I'm Chris pillo AKA Locker Nome on 00:31:38.840 --> 00:31:45.399 YouTube although I guess formerly known as Locker Nome on YouTube since they've 00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:51.760 recently switched me over to my real name I am officially Chris Perillo and 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:59.679 if anything I create videos on a daily basis revolving around geek culture not 00:31:56.679 --> 00:32:02.120 just technology but well beyond it if I 00:31:59.679 --> 00:32:06.279 did nothing but talk about technology I don't think I would be married and uh 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 00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:16.440 wife into a geek we just recently started watching Doctor Who I I got her 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 00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:26.399 the entire experience so for me it's about living a geek lifestyle and uh you 00:32:24.159 --> 00:32:30.840 know loving geek culture and so the videos that I produce tend to revolve 00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:35.919 around that I'm just going to start out by saying that I'm very impressed 00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:38.080 because um I have managed to get my wife 00:32:35.919 --> 00:32:42.559 to watch Star Wars with me but she fell asleep during each movie so she's 00:32:40.679 --> 00:32:46.360 actually only seen about the first third of each movie from the original trilogy 00:32:44.679 --> 00:32:50.360 meaning she's only probably seen one Star Wars movie sort 00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:55.320 of ouch yeah I I uh I had explained over 00:32:53.399 --> 00:33:00.559 and over again that she would understand so much more about me and of course the 00:32:58.600 --> 00:33:03.399 jokes that I would make uh if she watched the movies and that was enough 00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:08.200 motivation to get her through it and she enjoyed them a 00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:10.279 lot that is uh that is fantastic and 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 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 00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:22.760 the easiest guys in the world to get in touch with because if you just Google 00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:27.519 his name there's all kinds of great results speaking of which Chris on 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 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 00:33:34.399 --> 00:33:41.840 during a brief run of hosting a a television show that on a network that 00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:44.799 no longer exists and uh during a part of 00:33:41.840 --> 00:33:49.159 that stint we this is of course back in the day when VHS was 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 00:33:51.399 --> 00:33:58.639 computer and this is right before Windows XP had been released and someone 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 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 00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:10.679 antiques I mean I I I have VHS tapes but 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 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 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 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 00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:31.159 why like with my YouTube channel I've evolved to addressing more of geek 00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:37.440 culture so like Star Wars is not going out of style anytime soon nor is Doctor 00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:39.440 Who or or Lego bricks in fact Lego sets 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:44.560 appreciate in value compared to technology which usually loses value 00:34:41.320 --> 00:34:46.079 over time so it's it's speaks very much 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 00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:54.720 inner geek and letting my geek flag fly 00:34:52.240 --> 00:35:00.640 in social media and you know what's funny is I've not only is technology 00:34:58.359 --> 00:35:05.119 more relevant moving forward from a uh from a dollar amount value perspective 00:35:03.359 --> 00:35:09.760 but I've also observed that it's more relevant um or sorry technology becomes 00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:13.560 less relevant from a value perspective but geek culture it doesn't do that same 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 00:35:16.720 --> 00:35:25.000 four top videos ever in terms of views are unboxings and overviews of a remote 00:35:22.560 --> 00:35:30.000 control fir Tru a remote control excavator and the parrot AR drone even 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 00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:42.200 same Revelation uh some of my better traffic videos had to do with uh my Lego 00:35:38.839 --> 00:35:45.760 sets my the Lego Death Star Lego 00:35:42.200 --> 00:35:48.560 atat uh you Star Wars Lego geekiness you 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:53.079 know and I'm like okay uh I need to be more of 00:35:51.040 --> 00:35:56.680 myself one of the things that surprised me the most uh I went down to Science 00:35:54.720 --> 00:35:58.920 World and they had a huge Lego exhibit and I started looking around and then I 00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:03.480 noticed that everyone else looking around was about as old as me which was 00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:07.200 interesting and like there was some kids there but the adults were the most 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 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 00:36:13.160 --> 00:36:20.480 older too y'all got to come down for Brick con it happens in October in 00:36:17.319 --> 00:36:22.440 Seattle and it is amazing it is a Lego a 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 00:36:25.839 --> 00:36:33.680 structures that people make are just so fantastic like a scale model to Min 00:36:30.359 --> 00:36:36.200 figures to of the Hogwarts Castle or a 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 00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:44.119 own creation build I mean it's just it is so incredible to see the creativity 00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:47.720 that comes out of of people you know when you when you give them the right 00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:52.680 tools and and that's the beauty of technology today is you know we're 00:36:49.880 --> 00:37:00.440 evolving like with arduinos and you know really uh raspberry pies lowc cost easy 00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:03.839 to use configurable moldable you know 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:06.119 you can make anything that your mind can 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 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 00:37:11.720 --> 00:37:17.920 same way as I do arduinos and in in raspberry pies they're building blocks 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 00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:27.680 days of electronics and Computing everything was DIY and then things got 00:37:25.720 --> 00:37:31.160 kind of too complicated and the tools didn't really catch up to the point 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 00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:41.000 getting back into it with highly programmable things like Arduino and 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 00:37:43.240 --> 00:37:51.680 real products like I had um uh it's called The O2 amplifier and basically 00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:56.160 these are DIY headphone amps that are just built by like a dude who designed 00:37:54.599 --> 00:38:00.119 it and was like oh well I see a bunch of problems with the commercially ailable 00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:04.240 products so I'm going to fix it outstanding I love it and then now 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 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 00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:16.000 build your own Electronics 30 years ago 40 years ago and it would be you know 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 00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:23.440 been difficult is housings and tooling 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 00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:34.680 blah blah blah you can build out of Les lesbo Lego and 3D 00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:40.440 printing well you look at the the Microsoft talking about uh enabling 3D 00:38:38.640 --> 00:38:45.640 printing by default in future versions of Windows that's pretty powerful stuff 00:38:43.200 --> 00:38:49.880 but pretty Forward Thinking for them yeah but the problem is is that it's got 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 00:38:51.720 --> 00:38:57.880 few really amazing Kickstarter projects that would work in theory but the issue 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 00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:07.599 great ideas suck on execution I mean you 00:39:05.240 --> 00:39:14.520 look at you know potentially amazing things like the auntu phone which is may 00:39:11.720 --> 00:39:19.160 go somewhere but didn't really make its Mark in terms of community backing um 00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:23.319 you know there's there's sometimes a disconnect between the value of 00:39:21.160 --> 00:39:26.480 technology and the consumer adoption of technology and whether or not they 00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:31.040 actually see the value in something absolutely I mean I know we haven't even 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 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 00:39:38.680 --> 00:39:44.880 of a Star Wars geek as you are 00:39:42.200 --> 00:39:49.480 Disney you know initially I had a knee-jerk reaction and gagged but uh you 00:39:47.839 --> 00:39:56.760 know I really have appreciated the way they've handled uh some superhero movies 00:39:53.160 --> 00:39:59.440 um and and and certainly appreciated the 00:39:56.760 --> 00:40:04.480 bringing on J.J Abrams appreciated the work that he's done Disney can Market 00:40:02.160 --> 00:40:10.520 they can franchise and the they've come out and said they understand that fans 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 00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:18.160 universe not necessarily the technology that empowers movies and special effects 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 00:40:21.200 --> 00:40:27.560 really can't screw up much more than the prequels although the more I watch the 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 00:40:31.640 --> 00:40:37.480 that Disney will treat the Star Wars franchise better than I think Lucas 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 00:40:38.640 --> 00:40:44.599 Advocate because I don't necessarily disagree with you but look at even 00:40:42.319 --> 00:40:49.560 something that's an original Ip that they have like Pirates of the Caribbean 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 00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:58.319 completely lost count it got progressively so much worse because it 00:40:55.680 --> 00:41:02.839 seems like oh come on oh at you're not going to tell me movies 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 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 00:41:11.040 --> 00:41:16.880 I've enjoyed every single Pirates of the Caribbean movie I enjoyed them but I 00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:21.680 didn't rewatch them the way that I rewatched one and the way that I've 00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:25.160 rewatched original trilogy Star Wars really that's I'm on the same level as 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 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 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 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 00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:50.359 to me the problem was they they broke their own rules for the sake of epicness 00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:52.560 in the first movie we exist in sort of a 00:41:50.359 --> 00:41:58.040 pretty normal world except for this cursed ship and then it seems like it 00:41:54.720 --> 00:42:00.000 just goes so to speak off the deep end 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 00:42:01.640 --> 00:42:08.839 really great franchises like Harry Potter Harry Potter for the most part 00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:13.880 never breaks its own rules that it established right at the beginning it it 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 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 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 00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:30.720 success okay so Star Wars are we going to give them the benefit of 00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:35.079 the doubt and go okay if they're going to say yearly releases and big 00:42:33.160 --> 00:42:40.200 Productions every two years are they going to be working 20 years out on a 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 00:42:44.200 --> 00:42:51.520 faithful to at least adhering to the notion of not breaking Cannon then I 00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:56.880 think they'll be fine but the moment you step outside that boundary like Star 00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:59.119 Wars was okay A New Hope Was Meant To Be 00:42:56.880 --> 00:43:05.440 A Standalone right in the middle of this 12 story monolith that Lucas had in his 00:43:02.720 --> 00:43:10.359 head in fact recently at at a Star Wars celebration in Europe Mark Hamill had 00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:14.200 suggested that originally Lucas was going to have the Death Star around 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 00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:20.520 return to the Jedi but originally it was just supposed to be one one Death Star 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 00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:28.319 you know I think he violated canon in 00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:32.000 and of itself by going back and establishing a prequel or trying to give 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 00:43:34.640 --> 00:43:43.400 minded An Origin story for Anakin Skywalker if once again they hadn't 00:43:39.160 --> 00:43:45.440 broken their own rules the force is it 00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:50.359 surrounds us it binds the Galaxy together it does all these things it's 00:43:47.359 --> 00:43:52.960 mysterious it's not medoran right right 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 00:43:55.200 --> 00:44:01.760 okay but Lucas is not Disney 00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:04.359 too what Lucas wants I think they'll 00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:09.079 succeed so should we be more scared that he's a creative consultant or more 00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:13.319 comforted here here's a movie to watch the people versus George Lucas watch it 00:44:11.280 --> 00:44:18.200 on Netflix if you're finished watching battl Star Galactica in Doctor 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 00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:24.599 here so the people versus George Lucas I 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 00:44:28.680 --> 00:44:34.040 brief Cameo at the beginning of the uh the video I dressed him up as Darth 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 00:44:36.680 --> 00:44:42.400 nothing to do with technology that's what's popular again 00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:45.359 again nothing to do with technology again nothing to do with technology okay 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 00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:57.599 entire document and actually was it was intrigued greatly all right so why don't 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 00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:05.839 glasses.com versus Google Glass do they 00:45:03.880 --> 00:45:08.960 have a chance um do you mind if I actually play this video for the viewers 00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:12.760 so that they have a really good idea what we're talking about here you should 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 00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:19.119 to have your socks rocked right off right 00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:29.920 now boom oh yeah 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 00:45:33.200 --> 00:45:35.800 matters that 00:45:43.839 --> 00:45:47.839 much unreal 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 00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:15.040 let me see the final product cuz this is all Pie in the Sky to 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 00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:21.359 a different story you know that's I think you know 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 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 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 00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:39.200 actually not all fun in games doing what we do and playing with the latest 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 00:46:41.520 --> 00:46:47.680 even well three times out of four yeah that's probably G that's probably being 00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:52.240 pretty generous that's very generous I mean it looks great but dude that's 00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:56.640 that's total marketing video that's like wow amazing total marketing video 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 00:46:58.440 --> 00:47:03.520 very large and really unsightly so I don't actually see that many people 00:47:02.319 --> 00:47:06.559 wearing them especially they showed the professional environment where he shaking hands with all the different 00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:12.160 people and they were basically introducing themselves uh verbally and 00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:14.920 through the images that the uh what do they called space glasses were putting 00:47:13.319 --> 00:47:18.640 up but in a professional environment do you really expect your boss to show up 00:47:16.359 --> 00:47:23.480 with this giant headgear so let's talk about the culture of these wearable 00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:27.920 glasses um first and then let's jump into meta's product versus and I think 00:47:26.359 --> 00:47:31.640 their logo looks like meth it looks like meth it looks like meth anyway um so 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 00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:40.400 Chris do you expect it to be acceptable 00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:45.480 to walk into a business meeting even in 5 years from now wearing a wearable 00:47:43.160 --> 00:47:50.160 glasses technology where other people are not necessarily wearing them I mean 00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:53.720 you know how stodgy people can be um are they going to be feel uncomfortable 00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:56.599 because they feel like you're looking them up on Facebook while they're 00:47:54.920 --> 00:48:01.720 sitting there talking to you and is that going to continue to be a stigma even 00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:04.599 five years from now well you know i' 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 00:48:07.319 --> 00:48:14.400 goes it's going to be in personal wearable technology like Google Glass 00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:19.440 technolog is becoming increasingly pervasive and I think it's a matter of 00:48:16.520 --> 00:48:24.480 time before a good headup display or heads up display is integrated within 00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:27.599 eyewear the challenge I think you have 00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:31.280 even even Google has in fact um Russell 00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:33.160 Holly who writes for geek.com uh 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 00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:42.240 and he was told to remove Google Glass 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 00:48:44.680 --> 00:48:52.240 handle that I don't know how the hell they expect the average person to handle 00:48:48.839 --> 00:48:53.760 that they have stated sorry no go ahead 00:48:52.240 --> 00:48:57.599 uh they have stated though in the past that they they don't expect Google Glass 00:48:55.760 --> 00:49:00.799 to be able to be worn every uh people were wondering like uh how 00:48:59.799 --> 00:49:05.319 hackable it would be and all this kind of stuff I call [ __ ] come on whoa 00:49:03.319 --> 00:49:11.040 whoa whoa whoa hang on so let me get this straight Google charges beta 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:13.799 testers out the yin-yang to have this 00:49:11.040 --> 00:49:19.079 product and then says well we don't expect you're going to wear it anywhere 00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:21.480 everywhere really that's the whole IDE 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 00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:30.839 value of a wearable tech like Google Glass is that I do wear it everywhere 00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:35.640 and that it actually becomes part of my life if my smartphone was my tablet then 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 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 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 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 00:49:50.240 --> 00:49:55.520 brush my teeth it's plug in my smartphone and make sure it's charged 00:49:53.359 --> 00:50:00.440 for tomorrow if I am not wearing Google Glass all the time for a similar product 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 00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:07.079 interesting that Chris said was the the charge for beta testers that's hilarious 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 00:50:08.799 --> 00:50:15.599 charged to beta testers and here's the thing I see someone wearing Google Glass 00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:21.720 and like okay you have money and you kind of look pretentious I mean I have 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 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 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 00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:38.799 program but it was just a little cost prohibitive I thought really am I am I 00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:43.599 going to get my money out of this other than bragging rights for having Google 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 00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:53.440 eventually costs will come down technology will become more usable uh 00:50:52.240 --> 00:50:57.359 you know having it built into prescription lenses I wear glasses 00:50:55.440 --> 00:51:01.839 happily wear glasses I think it will become socially 00:50:59.160 --> 00:51:08.040 acceptable but the Norms today dictate that permission is not 00:51:05.200 --> 00:51:14.040 implicit when you hold a camera up to someone's face they get uncomfortable 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 00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:24.920 I don't see people's desire for privacy necessarily actually changing in fact 00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:29.359 the more it's been studied that the more connected people are or the closer that 00:51:27.040 --> 00:51:33.480 you jam them in together actually the more they tend to try to isolate 00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:37.359 themselves in fact it is less common to have a nosy neighbor in an apartment 00:51:35.240 --> 00:51:41.160 building than it is to have one in Suburbia because people get so close to 00:51:40.040 --> 00:51:45.720 the point where they're actually trying to separate themselves from each other 00:51:43.119 --> 00:51:50.599 as opposed to trying to get closer and Snoop yeah I I just think that people 00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:54.920 aren't ready for technology as much much as technology may be ready for people 00:51:52.520 --> 00:51:59.960 there are still social boundaries that I would a great majority of the pop are 00:51:57.160 --> 00:52:04.440 not ready to have violated if if they take the camera out and like Chris said 00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:07.880 are able to integrate it into prescription glasses that look like 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 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 00:52:13.880 --> 00:52:19.160 just like prescription glasses but you just want augmented reality exactly yeah 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 00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:31.160 in no way interested in the beta thousand stupid thing but I am totally 00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:34.880 interested in Gen 5 gen 10 and person I 00:52:31.160 --> 00:52:38.359 don't want to AR is definitely going to 00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:41.400 work really well but it's not the idea 00:52:38.359 --> 00:52:44.160 it's the execution and Google has a 00:52:41.400 --> 00:52:48.240 chance but they're they're already Sid stepping a lot of those mores and 00:52:46.359 --> 00:52:54.160 expecting society's going to keep up and there's one thing that you cannot change 00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:55.920 with ease and that is culture yes so 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 00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:06.880 talk about seg no I don't have a segue I I never got a segue 00:53:03.359 --> 00:53:10.319 either very funny 00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:13.599 man so let's um let's go back to let's 00:53:10.319 --> 00:53:17.160 go back to MAA here um you mentioned 00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:19.559 just now Google has a chance sorry 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 00:53:21.520 --> 00:53:26.720 me the advantage of Google is nothing to 00:53:24.520 --> 00:53:31.920 do with the glasses themselves or even to do with the Android operating system 00:53:28.839 --> 00:53:33.680 or to do with a camera or processors or 00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:37.839 anything like that it's all about the ecosystem which is something that quite 00:53:35.720 --> 00:53:44.920 frankly is there anyone other than Google or Apple who could replicate the 00:53:40.160 --> 00:53:46.960 ecosystem that Google has yes young d404 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 00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:55.359 pillo is the best guest on the W show ever with three three purple hearts 00:53:53.400 --> 00:53:58.839 three purple hearts he put in there or she I don't know 00:53:57.280 --> 00:54:04.240 point that out I think he or she has the chance of pulling it 00:54:00.680 --> 00:54:08.119 off okay how about space glasses.com 00:54:04.240 --> 00:54:10.839 this guy's Gonna Keep derailing 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 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 00:54:16.160 --> 00:54:22.960 a lot of data and that's its biggest advantage over Apple Google is a a 00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:26.920 horizontal player versus Apple who's a vertical player which is why I have a 00:54:24.440 --> 00:54:31.520 big problem with anybody uh who dares try to walk into the Android versus iOS 00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:37.359 argument because unfortunately that argument is it's outmoded it doesn't it 00:54:35.319 --> 00:54:40.440 can't exist because I'm For Better or For Worse there are two completely 00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:45.480 different Market strategies to the marketplace just like a Windows to OS 10 00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:50.839 to Linux I mean you could talk about operating systems and compare for 00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:52.240 Feature Feature for feature but's in so 00:54:50.839 --> 00:54:56.720 depends on who you are Google has got the biggest advantage in terms of its 00:54:53.880 --> 00:55:00.799 ability to collect data uh and and use that data to their advantage and and 00:54:59.040 --> 00:55:03.559 unfortunately if you're not paying for a product and sometimes if you are paying 00:55:02.359 --> 00:55:06.960 for the product you're the product yourself and that's what Google has it's 00:55:05.640 --> 00:55:12.200 one of the reasons why Google created the inorganic social network or I'm 00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:15.200 sorry social layer Google Plus which I 00:55:12.200 --> 00:55:17.520 do happen to use on a regular basis um 00:55:15.200 --> 00:55:20.359 it was looking to get more data you know Facebook wasn't giving them the data 00:55:18.839 --> 00:55:24.000 Twitter wasn't giving them the data and Apple has almost zero data that it's 00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:28.960 willing to give out yep yeah true I actually have 00:55:27.319 --> 00:55:33.720 nothing to really add to all of that because I agree 100% And it honestly it 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 00:55:37.200 --> 00:55:43.920 and honestly I still use my iPhone 4 almost every day just as an MP3 player 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 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 00:55:48.599 --> 00:55:55.240 anymore um and they're so different and 00:55:51.720 --> 00:55:56.599 they're both so good that they're 00:55:55.240 --> 00:56:02.319 different they're different approaches to the same Marketplace Y and and that's 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 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 00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:18.319 their choices for technology as if it was a religion what like your life really 00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:21.280 revolves around this piece of technology 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 00:56:24.280 --> 00:56:32.440 just it doesn't make any sense Protestant versus Catholic I mean go you 00:56:29.720 --> 00:56:36.839 know Big Mac versus Whopper go you're okay well hold on a second I have 00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:42.680 to defend the Whopper here because at least one day of the week is Holy in the 00:56:40.039 --> 00:56:48.520 Whopper religion yes Wednesday when the Whopper gives back to you every 00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:51.440 Wednesday oh by the way D PC Gamer asked 00:56:48.520 --> 00:56:54.520 how old this kid was and this kid is 00:56:54.520 --> 00:57:01.119 40 oh man and he loves both Big Macs and Whoppers 00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:06.720 and you know what that's okay he loves both Android and iOS actually likes 00:57:03.400 --> 00:57:08.960 Windows phone too you

00:58:07.880 regularly scheduled programming you know what no I'm going to we're going to keep 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 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 00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:25.559 Android all the way and anybody who doesn't believe is going to burn in hell 00:58:21.960 --> 00:58:28.160 like really like are you serious so wait 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 00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:40.640 fine with living by your choices the moment you start paying my bills that's 00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:44.599 right okay so if you can't see it does 00:58:40.640 --> 00:58:50.839 it exist the LG display that they are 00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:52.319 showing off is a 2560 by 1440 5.5 in 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 00:58:56.520 --> 00:59:04.359 feel as someone who wears glasses no less about the race to higher 00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:09.760 resolutions is this just a dick measuring contest from the manufacturers 00:59:06.880 --> 00:59:15.920 is it just a fanboyism thing from the consumers that keep pushing for higher 00:59:11.920 --> 00:59:15.920 and higher resolutions 00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:26.680 go oh hold on Chris you're breaking up give us a second let's just 00:59:24.480 --> 00:59:31.039 uh yeah give me give me a second here I'm just going to restart the voice chat 00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:35.680 ons here okay okay sorry give me a sec don't 00:59:33.440 --> 00:59:38.960 worry guys we'll be back to uh your uh our scheduled programming very

absolute blast 00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:53.880 anyone who joined late is like what religious debate what I know right what 00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:59.799 what's happening okay so hold on a second there there it goes there it goes 00:59:56.359 --> 01:00:01.880 okay we uh almost have liftoff here guys 00:59:59.799 --> 01:00:05.839 so uh Chris will be back in just a moment as long as we're not uh as long 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 01:00:08.039 --> 01:00:13.119 got hit by the the the wrath of LG 01:00:11.319 --> 01:00:16.559 screens we're still live okay so it's not our connection this time fortunately 01:00:14.880 --> 01:00:20.240 for those of you who are tuning in late we're streaming from my house again 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 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 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 01:00:34.599 --> 01:00:45.160 still in right yeah okay so go ahead and invite me maybe I can't do that oh hold 01:00:40.160 --> 01:00:48.520 on I'm still in okay boom yay yay so 01:00:45.160 --> 01:00:50.039 you're back first of all let me address 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 01:00:52.760 --> 01:01:00.359 toaster get that through thick skull okay and if you disagree you and me are 01:00:57.480 --> 01:01:05.760 going to have words uh second of all I think you know we increase screen 01:01:03.640 --> 01:01:11.400 resolution it's a law of diminishing returns quite honestly and anybody who 01:01:08.119 --> 01:01:13.680 can see the differences uh I I would 01:01:11.400 --> 01:01:19.200 they've got very very finely attuned eyes because I can't and unfortunately 01:01:16.760 --> 01:01:24.400 they're pushing pushing these resolutions very high and that's great I 01:01:21.599 --> 01:01:30.160 love Sharp Images sharp text sharp screens the problem is the video 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 01:01:33.119 --> 01:01:39.000 experience and to me technology in a 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 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 01:01:46.000 --> 01:01:52.640 outlier but I I believe in specs to a certain degree but without proper 01:01:50.640 --> 01:01:58.559 execution what's the point I've had great Hardware in crappy software and 01:01:55.480 --> 01:02:01.400 this to me is exactly why the guys like 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 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 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 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 01:02:21.119 --> 01:02:29.039 it's actually about the experience there would have been no room for guys like 01:02:25.599 --> 01:02:30.960 Apple or Google to bust in and Caron in 01:02:29.039 --> 01:02:37.279 this market if Samsung had understood if Sony had understood and and that to me 01:02:34.520 --> 01:02:42.119 is why Google is allowed to exist and that is why Google and Motorola may be 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 01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:52.319 Android platform I I wouldn't count Samsung out yet uh with teas or taisen 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 01:02:55.039 --> 01:03:02.039 talking about though right yes okay this is the open source platform being 01:02:59.319 --> 01:03:07.480 codeveloped by both Samsung and Intel just to give context for those who who 01:03:03.520 --> 01:03:10.319 may not be aware I think Samsung has 01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:14.119 done more to help Android than Google believe it or not and with Samsung 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 01:03:17.720 --> 01:03:23.400 acceptance and marketing then yes 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 01:03:25.520 --> 01:03:31.839 don't wrong I think they're spraying and praying uh with Samsung producing as 01:03:30.240 --> 01:03:36.359 many devices as it does it doesn't surprise me that it has the the market 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 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 01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:50.359 certain degree Android is just a means to an end for Google uh open is great 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 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 01:03:57.880 --> 01:04:04.839 actually in fact uh the whole Fiasco with Microsoft and Google and the 01:04:01.760 --> 01:04:06.079 YouTube app is really a window into some 01:04:04.839 --> 01:04:10.920 of the things that are changing at Google right now we feel and well it's 01:04:08.960 --> 01:04:16.880 true and Google is and I think Danny Sullivan put put it best he called 01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:19.880 Google clopen which is I guess 01:04:16.880 --> 01:04:22.520 a so they're horses 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 01:04:24.480 --> 01:04:31.400 know what he meant this this guy's giving me this look right now well how 01:04:28.359 --> 01:04:35.520 how do you get to horses I had horses as 01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:38.520 a kid oh my goodness okay sorry keep 01:04:35.520 --> 01:04:41.319 going uh is my volume okay by the way 01:04:38.520 --> 01:04:45.799 let me tweak you yeah I love being tweaked that's not exactly like a twerk 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 01:04:47.640 --> 01:04:51.520 these 01:04:51.520 --> 01:04:59.400 days all right I turned you up yay 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 01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:06.319 you 100% the race to resolution inpcs is 01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:11.039 not the be all and end all I'm interested to see what Samsung and Intel 01:05:08.039 --> 01:05:13.240 come up with however the thing that I 01:05:11.039 --> 01:05:20.960 still am not necessarily convinced that they understand is the experience on the 01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:22.839 software side Intel is not a software 01:05:20.960 --> 01:05:27.880 company and Samsung is not a software company and you look at their entire 01:05:25.799 --> 01:05:31.599 history of products I don't think either of them has produced anything worth a 01:05:29.480 --> 01:05:37.240 lick when it comes to software no offense I I no I completely agree I do 01:05:34.839 --> 01:05:42.079 not like the TouchWiz experience on Android devices at all uh I think it's 01:05:39.799 --> 01:05:45.960 completely unoptimized much talk about Intel Vive if we all want to be old 01:05:44.160 --> 01:05:50.400 about things for a bit here well I didn't want to trip too far 01:05:48.200 --> 01:05:56.000 down memory lane oh and speaking of I someone just 01:05:54.039 --> 01:05:59.359 said well I don't know what it was exactly but they keep bringing up a 01:05:57.400 --> 01:06:06.079 Nintendo 3DS XL um it was released uh you know just 01:06:02.920 --> 01:06:08.720 recently that uh the Google Play Store 01:06:06.079 --> 01:06:12.799 and iOS app store are cleaning the clock of mobile console gaming I think it's 01:06:10.720 --> 01:06:18.400 just a matter of time before Nintendo has to give up and start licensing their 01:06:14.480 --> 01:06:20.799 titles to uh uh various platforms I get 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 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 01:06:27.559 --> 01:06:34.480 know I bought the Ouya and was impressed 01:06:30.680 --> 01:06:36.480 with the idea of the Ouya I think NVIDIA 01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:41.920 captured exactly what needed to be captured now whether or not it's going 01:06:38.640 --> 01:06:43.400 to evolve that way uh I I think I I I 01:06:41.920 --> 01:06:47.920 would I would be inclined to agree I think NVIDIA did a good job with The 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 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 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 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 01:07:03.640 --> 01:07:11.640 the lon share of the marketplace however are people like me casual gamers Plant 01:07:09.480 --> 01:07:16.599 versus Zombies players well no I don't play I honestly the game video game I 01:07:13.440 --> 01:07:19.000 play Tetris I freaking love Tetris uh 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 01:07:21.480 --> 01:07:27.079 that is most of the market I mean you have extreme Gamers and that's certainly 01:07:25.559 --> 01:07:33.680 a great part of the market it's great entertainment but you know in terms of 01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:35.920 who's spending the money a bigger piece 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 01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:44.039 new models have developed to take advantage of Hardcore I mean in the old 01:07:41.720 --> 01:07:47.720 model you got to sell them the cartridge and then that was it whereas in new 01:07:45.920 --> 01:07:51.839 models like free to play you can continue to milk those hardcore guys so 01:07:50.039 --> 01:07:56.160 at least it's not a total write off but I think the hardcore guys really 01:07:54.119 --> 01:08:00.880 overestimate um how important they are in the grand scheme of things when it 01:07:58.079 --> 01:08:05.480 comes to companies and balance sheets and 01:08:02.240 --> 01:08:08.319 profitability you know it's it's really 01:08:05.480 --> 01:08:12.720 it's interesting to be at this time uh with technology and where it sits 01:08:10.599 --> 01:08:17.359 specifically in the consumer Marketplace and even we're there with with computers 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 01:08:20.600 --> 01:08:28.159 saying you know that they're really kind of being marginalized you know the idea 01:08:25.080 --> 01:08:29.920 of a personal computer uh in a PC in 01:08:28.159 --> 01:08:34.319 general is just going to an extreme part of the market much like you could build 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 01:08:36.480 --> 01:08:41.560 for that same thing from him you just 01:08:39.560 --> 01:08:45.440 okay if you don't believe me go to Google Trends and search for the word 01:08:43.679 --> 01:08:51.319 computer and see how it's trending downward people are not searching 01:08:48.120 --> 01:08:53.520 consumers 99% of the marketplace are not 01:08:51.319 --> 01:09:00.400 searching for the word computer because their definition and need for a computer 01:08:56.319 --> 01:09:02.799 is changed that eliminates the PC as a 01:09:00.400 --> 01:09:07.920 viable tool to be used and sold in the marketplace which is why Microsoft is 01:09:04.920 --> 01:09:10.520 getting its clock clean and I'm sorry as 01:09:07.920 --> 01:09:14.960 much as I think it would help now that Steve Balmer is announced his retirement 01:09:12.440 --> 01:09:20.120 from Microsoft I don't think Microsoft's going to change its ways if only because 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 01:09:22.120 --> 01:09:28.520 signed off on by Bill Gates Steve Balmer and the board so Microsoft's not going 01:09:26.359 --> 01:09:34.759 to bring in someone radically different and unfortunately this is It's A Hard 01:09:31.199 --> 01:09:36.880 truth but you have to accept that the 01:09:34.759 --> 01:09:40.920 world doesn't need Windows as much as Windows needs the world and Microsoft's 01:09:39.560 --> 01:09:45.279 been operating from a completely different perspective which is exactly 01:09:42.920 --> 01:09:50.839 why we have this monstrosity this Frankenstein's monster that's known as 01:09:47.359 --> 01:09:54.040 Windows 8 or even worse Windows 01:09:50.839 --> 01:09:55.480 RT I I I agree with a lot hold on I 01:09:54.040 --> 01:09:58.920 would make the argument that we don't really have Windows RT because no one 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 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 01:10:08.679 --> 01:10:14.600 consumer device I think might kind of float away but they might become more of 01:10:12.440 --> 01:10:18.360 a dedicated gaming machine exactly like said we don't need Windows for that it's 01:10:16.640 --> 01:10:22.719 like building your own car except building your own car if it was easy 01:10:20.600 --> 01:10:25.960 yeah so it it should still have more penetration than custombuilt handmade 01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:30.600 cars but you know the the we might be looking 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 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 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 01:10:41.000 --> 01:10:47.360 place but unfortunately they're going to price themselves out of the market uh 01:10:45.159 --> 01:10:51.520 the Xbox one they position it in such a way that it's an entertainment console 01:10:49.000 --> 01:10:59.560 which is great the problem is I think the PS4 could very easily take the Xbox 01:10:56.800 --> 01:11:04.960 360s place in the family room if only based on price and just completely eat 01:11:01.679 --> 01:11:06.960 its lunch I I really honestly because 01:11:04.960 --> 01:11:10.040 look at it unless I'm mistaken unless they've changed their tune like 01:11:08.199 --> 01:11:14.120 Microsoft has done in recent weeks with just about everything in relation to the 01:11:11.480 --> 01:11:18.920 Xbox one uh it won't be backwards compatible with older Xbox games you 01:11:16.400 --> 01:11:23.600 know certainly Games available on disk the problem with that is that gives the 01:11:21.280 --> 01:11:29.679 consumer who was an Xbox 360 you know owner more ability to shift platforms 01:11:27.640 --> 01:11:34.640 yes it does why would they give themselves that open and let Microsoft 01:11:32.600 --> 01:11:39.520 honestly they're potentially shooting themselves in the foot by pricing it 01:11:35.920 --> 01:11:43.040 $100 more even if it's $100 greater they 01:11:39.520 --> 01:11:44.760 by pricing it so high in respect to 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 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 01:11:52.120 --> 01:11:57.880 and that 13-year-old kid if you were like me um actually okay you were 01:11:56.560 --> 01:12:02.520 probably looking at different consoles than I was but I was asking for a Super 01:11:59.960 --> 01:12:08.840 Nintendo or a Genesis I got whichever ones my parents bought and if they're 01:12:05.040 --> 01:12:11.159 saying I want a PS4 or an Xbox One the 01:12:08.840 --> 01:12:17.239 parents are going to make the decision exactly and if they're going to 01:12:14.280 --> 01:12:20.800 base that their decision on price nothing else ain't going to be about 01:12:19.239 --> 01:12:26.080 enhancing the family room ain't going to be enhancing the TV or that the the 01:12:22.679 --> 01:12:28.920 media experience Microsoft has the right 01:12:26.080 --> 01:12:33.040 idea they have the wrong approach yeah and you know what they really had an 01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:37.159 opportunity with Xbox to uh and it seems like they're kind of taking baby steps 01:12:34.679 --> 01:12:40.800 in the direction of unifying the Xbox experience and the Windows experience 01:12:39.239 --> 01:12:45.639 but it should have been that way from day one Xbox One well okay Xbox first 01:12:43.639 --> 01:12:50.679 gen was a PC why were they not able to do 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 01:12:52.840 --> 01:12:58.639 possible for them to treat it more like a PC and not even be sitting around 01:12:56.520 --> 01:13:02.080 worrying about backwards compatibil compatibility at this point because they 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 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 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 01:13:13.600 --> 01:13:18.440 together and actually converge them to the point where what they're trying to 01:13:16.760 --> 01:13:24.000 do now is they're trying to make the Xbox One the media PC because Microsoft 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 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 01:13:31.120 --> 01:13:38.239 essentially yeah but but people don't need it and not at that price exactly 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 01:13:39.800 --> 01:13:47.080 sad because I think the Xbox 3 I'm sorry 01:13:43.480 --> 01:13:49.080 the Xbox one yeah is a better media 01:13:47.080 --> 01:13:53.920 center console than a PS4 it's it's not so much a gaming 01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:58.440 machine as an everything to everybody and I would have expected Microsoft to 01:13:56.000 --> 01:14:02.040 learn its lesson to not do that again I mean Windows 8 they talk about no 01:13:59.920 --> 01:14:07.719 compromises I think the whole thing is a compromise uh and for for whatever it's 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 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 01:14:14.880 --> 01:14:23.080 running right now in classic desktop mode but it's uh it's something where 01:14:20.199 --> 01:14:26.320 Microsoft's trying but unfortunately they they are not addressing the need at 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 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 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 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 01:14:40.239 --> 01:14:46.400 familiar with it it's pretty self-explanatory Twitter Blitz is I ask 01:14:44.040 --> 01:14:49.960 people to ask questions for you and you basically answer them as fast as 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 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 01:14:55.360 --> 01:15:04.760 favorite piece of technology you've ever owned go oh uh 01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:06.520 Theon I'm sorry the toron it was a 01:15:04.760 --> 01:15:12.080 musical instrument the MIDI controller that Yamaha made it's actually an app 01:15:09.239 --> 01:15:15.920 available for iOS too what brands of products do you use most every day and 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 01:15:17.400 --> 01:15:22.760 now uh God I go back and forth between 01:15:20.440 --> 01:15:28.520 my Nexus 4 and iPhone 5 today all right fair enough and totally 01:15:25.639 --> 01:15:34.000 agree with that approach y on Google Trends the term computer has gone down 01:15:31.000 --> 01:15:35.600 while PC gaming has gone up and this I'm 01:15:34.000 --> 01:15:39.360 going to just interject here this to me was a huge missed opportunity for 01:15:37.040 --> 01:15:44.159 Microsoft where they abandoned the PC as a gaming platform to focus on Xbox 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 01:15:46.719 --> 01:15:53.320 great I I think the the the idea of a PC 01:15:50.080 --> 01:15:55.000 type of uh piece of Hardware perfect for 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 01:15:57.199 --> 01:16:04.280 OS 10 it could be anything and that shows with steam moving towards 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 01:16:06.360 --> 01:16:11.800 dynamic we've got here which is great news because I actually already pinged 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 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 01:16:18.120 --> 01:16:24.480 same time for more than like 3 hours this time which we were a little while 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 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 01:16:31.360 --> 01:16:38.920 now we can't back out oh boy oh by the way someone in chat said 01:16:36.600 --> 01:16:42.159 type three for boobies I I've been I've been pressing three but nothing's 01:16:42.679 --> 01:16:50.159 happening uh tell me what you're excited 01:16:46.080 --> 01:16:51.880 about boobies I I was told by the chat 01:16:50.159 --> 01:16:58.840 room there would be boobies if I pressed three and I'm so disappointed 01:16:55.719 --> 01:17:00.560 um you know sorry to be serious for a 01:16:58.840 --> 01:17:04.719 minute no I am married and my wife is hotter than any other woman on the 01:17:02.719 --> 01:17:09.280 planet you know it's amazing what makeup can do because like there was a there 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 01:17:11.320 --> 01:17:20.840 was panning past and caught like the breasts right and you could tell the 01:17:16.600 --> 01:17:22.520 cameraman was like and and her face oh 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 01:17:25.520 --> 01:17:32.800 wow that you could sort of you could grape cheese with it you know in terms 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 01:17:34.280 --> 01:17:41.880 movies I can't wait uh to uh to you know 01:17:39.880 --> 01:17:46.920 just just experience just live in live in the now and enjoy life every single 01:17:44.960 --> 01:17:51.679 day that there's very little that I could say that what I'm looking forward 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 01:17:54.440 --> 01:17:59.679 question is is 5 in or 4.7 in 1080P 01:17:57.560 --> 01:18:03.000 smartphone form factor a limit now I'm not sure exactly what this viewer means 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 01:18:06.440 --> 01:18:13.040 you feel about fablet and are we moving in sort of a stupid Direction where it 01:18:10.880 --> 01:18:16.960 comes to smartphones just other than Apple where it comes to these Android 01:18:15.239 --> 01:18:20.840 smartphone makers which again comes back to that bigger must be better because we 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 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 01:18:28.719 --> 01:18:37.040 people don't I think they're interesting um I think they're interesting that that 01:18:33.840 --> 01:18:38.639 my friend is a term that means I don't 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 01:18:41.639 --> 01:18:49.040 leave it it's interesting all right we've never been 01:18:46.920 --> 01:18:54.239 into it very much yeah not really uh do you consider the Moto X a 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 01:18:56.560 --> 01:19:03.000 wouldn't go that far I think in terms of consumer adoption it has a possibility 01:19:00.920 --> 01:19:07.000 although I guess Motorola had a pull back on a lot of customization options 01:19:04.719 --> 01:19:12.400 because they were having quality control issues with the engraving the other day 01:19:10.199 --> 01:19:15.800 um I think it's a step in the right direction making it more consumer 01:19:13.960 --> 01:19:19.280 friendly but I got to tell you my Nexus 4 is still my go-to Android 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 01:19:25.920 --> 01:19:32.480 asking me about my size preference is a very personal 01:19:30.600 --> 01:19:36.800 question at least we didn't ask you about your size out right I appreciate 01:19:34.960 --> 01:19:39.960 that even though I do have a 31inch Darth biter in my 01:19:40.040 --> 01:19:46.080 office all right well you know what Chris I don't want to keep you forever 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 01:19:48.400 --> 01:19:55.080 your show at some point in the near future so guys if you enjoyed Chris let 01:19:52.639 --> 01:19:59.880 them know by making sure you subscribe youtube.com/ Locker Nome make sure you 01:19:57.679 --> 01:20:03.199 let him know by following him on Twitter make sure that you let him know by 01:20:01.360 --> 01:20:08.080 letting him know and make sure you let us know how much you enjoyed Chris so 01:20:05.440 --> 01:20:11.440 that hopefully we can uh gravel hands and knees to maybe bring him back at 01:20:09.960 --> 01:20:16.400 some point because this was a total blast man thank you very much here's the 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 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 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 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 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 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 01:20:43.159 --> 01:20:51.520 funny is I PMD you on YouTube years ago 01:20:47.960 --> 01:20:54.040 when I was Tiny and you were like a huge 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 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 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 01:21:04.679 --> 01:21:11.159 one of the guys that I was following you 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 01:21:13.880 --> 01:21:19.960 an edutainment perspective and I was looking at them from a what a retailer 01:21:18.440 --> 01:21:25.360 can do to build a YouTube channel perspective when I started ncx Tech tips 01:21:23.080 --> 01:21:28.040 four years ago so for those who are going to hate on you on this show 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 01:21:30.400 --> 01:21:36.239 wanted to let you know I ignore every YouTube message that's the worst way to 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 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 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 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 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 01:21:58.719 --> 01:22:06.320 blast absolutely happy to do it all right take care see you 01:22:03.280 --> 01:22:09.000 later all right let's just uh well there 01:22:06.320 --> 01:22:13.600 you guys have it that was Chris pillo or Locker Nome as the for the artist 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 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 01:22:19.679 --> 01:22:25.120 are tuned into the stream right now I think you guys enjoyed us having him as 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 01:22:27.199 --> 01:22:35.639 going to try to bring back Chris at least I guarantee personal commitment we 01:22:32.199 --> 01:22:38.120 will try I shut up man you're killing me 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 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 01:22:44.400 --> 01:22:49.840 Balmer about to retire he wrote a letter that talked about sort of all the you 01:22:48.600 --> 01:22:55.880 know great things that have happened at Microsoft how they went from I think he 01:22:51.639 --> 01:22:57.560 said 7.5 million do company to a s 7 01:22:55.880 --> 01:23:01.320 billion billion dollar whatever somewhere around some ridiculous metric 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 01:23:02.760 --> 01:23:08.520 math 7.5 mil to 78 billion which is just 01:23:06.320 --> 01:23:13.239 unbelievable he says Senior Management is still committed to devices and 01:23:11.000 --> 01:23:18.360 services as a strategy so For Better or For Worse they're still going down that 01:23:15.360 --> 01:23:19.960 path and um you know what let's just 01:23:18.360 --> 01:23:23.560 move on to the next one this is an interesting talk also related to I'll 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 01:23:26.320 --> 01:23:34.760 article posted by snow comet on the Linus Tech tips Forum it's the original 01:23:30.840 --> 01:23:37.400 article is from VR Zone and AMD says P4 01:23:34.760 --> 01:23:43.080 performance advantage over Xbox one may be greater than many expect due to Huma 01:23:40.679 --> 01:23:46.920 which is their homogen or homogeneous unified something AR microarchitecture 01:23:45.480 --> 01:23:52.199 something like that Bas it allows the GPU and the CPU to grab references that 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 01:23:54.199 --> 01:23:59.080 same chip but it would have to be two separate instances of the same 01:23:57.239 --> 01:24:05.000 information now the graphics card and CPU can both grab it which is a huge 01:24:03.080 --> 01:24:09.639 benefit part of the problem though is if it's not a console exclusive title 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 01:24:12.360 --> 01:24:20.199 going to see a huge benefit from this unless we do because of apus on the 01:24:17.440 --> 01:24:24.880 desktop unless we do because of that and we will maybe later on okay okay well 01:24:22.920 --> 01:24:28.880 later on they're not expecting titles to be able to get that much Advantage from 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 01:24:30.719 --> 01:24:37.120 utilized properly could give a lot more performance so it's a hardware feature 01:24:34.800 --> 01:24:41.199 now but I mean I expect a Next Generation or even two generations from 01:24:38.840 --> 01:24:44.600 now Apu from AMD to potentially take advantage of this which would mean we 01:24:43.080 --> 01:24:49.000 could be looking at a situation where the game gets released for console and 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 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 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 01:24:59.800 --> 01:25:06.600 you can take advantage of that code path that already exists so that's what we 01:25:04.679 --> 01:25:09.360 could be looking at every everything coming out all the information coming 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 01:25:11.080 --> 01:25:18.440 information for consoles but this is so good for PC so good for PC probably even 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 01:25:21.880 --> 01:25:28.600 color us pretty excited about uh about that particular development right there 01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:32.040 so big thanks to everyone who posts news on the lonus tech tips Forum we 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 01:25:35.080 --> 01:25:44.080 running on battery today and I actually have no idea how much battery life we 01:25:38.639 --> 01:25:46.400 have left so uh yeah Wacom has a new 01:25:44.080 --> 01:25:50.199 tablet like actual tablet not like a drawing tablet well it can it can be 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 01:25:52.080 --> 01:25:57.320 it solo it's either depending on which one you buy an Android tablet or a 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 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 01:26:06.360 --> 01:26:13.119 window Facebook or yeah or whatever you want it's an Android tablet or Windows 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 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 01:26:20.440 --> 01:26:27.920 the Android version is $1,600 for a 32 gig model and the 01:26:24.480 --> 01:26:30.639 Windows version is $2500 for a 512 gig 01:26:27.920 --> 01:26:35.239 model however when we want to talk about convergent devices uh the so the 01:26:32.560 --> 01:26:38.840 original uh oh source was just wacom's website so when we talk about convergent 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 01:26:41.760 --> 01:26:47.199 248 uh different um oh yeah sorry I'll 01:26:44.840 --> 01:26:51.480 sign out of there uh so it's got 248 different pressure 01:26:48.800 --> 01:26:56.560 settings and it is not much thicker than a regular tablet which is just 01:26:54.600 --> 01:26:59.960 unbelievable um it's it's awesome because like and another thing is I saw 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 01:27:01.679 --> 01:27:07.000 jump on that too but it's a walkom tablet yeah still a walkom tablet the 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 01:27:09.080 --> 01:27:14.239 and it can be used in that way people are going to be spending around that 01:27:12.679 --> 01:27:17.679 much money well maybe not around that much money but a lot of money on a 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 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 01:27:24.960 --> 01:27:31.239 gig iPad and you bought yourself a Wacom tablet I mean you're already spending a 01:27:29.480 --> 01:27:34.360 whack ton of money anyway maybe go for a Windows tablet that also has a Wacom 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 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 01:27:40.440 --> 01:27:45.000 the storage space on that is insane to me the Android device doesn't make a 01:27:43.480 --> 01:27:48.679 whole lot of sense and I had this conversation with diesel and he 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 01:27:52.600 --> 01:27:59.280 from a creative person I'm not a artistically creative person at all you 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 01:28:01.000 --> 01:28:06.000 it out for the Windows one because you just get so much more flexibility and 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 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 01:28:12.600 --> 01:28:19.239 really big deal to me and we're 01:28:16.960 --> 01:28:24.679 back we think so we have a 01:28:21.679 --> 01:28:28.800 theory that we're testing right now to 01:28:24.679 --> 01:28:31.960 see if we are going to indeed stay back 01:28:28.800 --> 01:28:34.280 but we uh we think that uh you know baby 01:28:31.960 --> 01:28:39.600 got back or something like that it's a song about babies maybe 01:28:37.199 --> 01:28:45.119 you're not a parent you wouldn't understand there is probably a remix of 01:28:41.880 --> 01:28:48.000 that isn't there oh probably some some 01:28:45.119 --> 01:28:54.360 actual baby one that is so classic anyway so without further Ado 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 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 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 01:29:04.800 --> 01:29:10.719 worth a shot giving things another go we 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 01:29:15.719 --> 01:29:24.719 massive price drops on their new 01:29:20.679 --> 01:29:28.199 9590 processor so this was the CPU 01:29:24.719 --> 01:29:32.119 with the 500 watt 01:29:28.199 --> 01:29:35.040 TDP which did I say 500 cuz I meant 220 01:29:32.119 --> 01:29:41.000 wat TDP sorry but it was the CPU that now costs 01:29:37.760 --> 01:29:42.639 uh oh well see this is what happens when 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 01:29:46.800 --> 01:29:52.600 pretty much about as hot running as anything could possibly be it consumes a 01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:58.040 ton of power and the performance while looking okay 01:29:54.639 --> 01:30:01.080 well what was like like just ridiculous 01:29:58.040 --> 01:30:02.560 for $900 I mean it's a it's a lot more 01:30:01.080 --> 01:30:05.679 feasible now but if you bought one already I feel bad for you and my kind 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 01:30:08.920 --> 01:30:15.639 cooling so they don't blow up the chip 01:30:12.159 --> 01:30:18.119 yeah maybe I mean I I don't I don't I 01:30:15.639 --> 01:30:22.280 don't know exactly what the uh the logic behind actually asking that much for the 01:30:20.360 --> 01:30:25.960 product in the first place was and I don't know what the logic behind 01:30:24.000 --> 01:30:31.000 slashing it by that much is unless they were literally selling none of them like 01:30:28.960 --> 01:30:37.520 zero so maybe there weren't even cuz honestly okay working at NC if there was 01:30:34.159 --> 01:30:39.199 like um if there was like an issue like 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 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 01:30:46.239 --> 01:30:51.159 sold have we sold like two can we just 01:30:49.320 --> 01:30:55.880 like reach out to those two guys and like deal with them and then you know 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 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 01:31:03.960 --> 01:31:09.400 like a weird closeout deal or something like that where you just you're 01:31:07.920 --> 01:31:13.320 experimenting with the pricing trying to find what the market will bear maybe 01:31:11.119 --> 01:31:16.639 what AMD did was they tried to find out if the market will bear this discovered 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 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 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 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 01:31:31.320 --> 01:31:37.880 no idea I mean I know NC opened one to build a demo 01:31:35.560 --> 01:31:43.080 system other than that have they sold any so like retailers and system 01:31:40.040 --> 01:31:44.520 integrators yeah it's like it and then 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 01:31:48.320 --> 01:31:55.280 great question uh the other day on Twitter someone was asking if they 01:31:51.639 --> 01:31:57.080 released the 9590 does that mean fx8350 01:31:55.280 --> 01:32:00.800 is which are basically the same chip but bin not quite as well does that mean 01:31:59.520 --> 01:32:05.400 that some of the best overclocking fx8350 is are essentially not going to 01:32:03.320 --> 01:32:09.400 exist anymore and the answer is yes they skimming it yeah yeah because if they're 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 01:32:10.960 --> 01:32:17.880 overclocking chips is to buy the highest Bend part typically now there are other 01:32:15.560 --> 01:32:22.600 factors such as what Intel or AMD or NVIDIA whoever else are selecting for if 01:32:20.080 --> 01:32:28.719 they're selecting for power consumption versus if they're selecting for um heat 01:32:25.600 --> 01:32:31.159 output or or whatever those factors are 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 01:32:33.280 --> 01:32:38.159 the best chance of overclocking this has always been the case but even then we 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 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 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 01:32:51.320 --> 01:32:57.000 chip and you're like the first two results 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 01:32:58.480 --> 01:33:05.800 sort of the most ridiculous thing there all right so let's uh you know what 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 01:33:08.159 --> 01:33:14.800 Squarespace thing right now so if you guys are actually oh I hope I have it 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 01:33:17.800 --> 01:33:24.400 if you have seen it already then that's great too so we've actually 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 01:33:27.159 --> 01:33:34.880 group. squarespace.com we have redone the Linus Medi Group website with 01:33:31.360 --> 01:33:36.639 Squarespace so we have uh partnered up 01:33:34.880 --> 01:33:40.400 with them as an official sponsor of the W show now so you can head over 01:33:38.119 --> 01:33:45.040 squarespace.com and if you use code Linus 8 you can get 10% off your first 01:33:43.000 --> 01:33:48.920 purchase basically what Squarespace is is it is an all-in-one solution for 01:33:47.320 --> 01:33:52.760 designing your website publishing your website they'll take care of all the 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 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 01:33:59.440 --> 01:34:05.639 for things like portfolios um probably the the the only 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 01:34:08.760 --> 01:34:15.040 forum so Linus Tech tips.com won't be switching over to Squarespace but Linus 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 01:34:18.159 --> 01:34:23.760 we go so it's Linus medag group. squarespace.com and a lot of this right 01:34:22.239 --> 01:34:27.159 now is just placeholders so over here here on the right next to the picture 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 01:34:29.040 --> 01:34:34.639 as people cycle through these um there's like some useful information about the 01:34:33.080 --> 01:34:39.280 different things that lus Media Group does it's touch capable without any sort 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 01:34:41.239 --> 01:34:47.960 a mouse doesn't really matter or you can actually press the buttons it also 01:34:44.600 --> 01:34:49.119 scales down to different sizes so if you 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 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 01:34:58.840 --> 01:35:05.400 initially expecting then it can scale up and give you more bandwidth as needed so 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 01:35:09.280 --> 01:35:14.920 Squarespace so there they are right there all right so you can also check 01:35:13.000 --> 01:35:18.400 out some information about our team we have four people at lus Media Group so 01:35:16.639 --> 01:35:22.520 you can learn about those guys if you happen to be interested in that you can 01:35:20.040 --> 01:35:28.159 get in touch with us although uh for the most part that info medag group.com 01:35:24.760 --> 01:35:29.800 email is strictly like business related 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 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 01:35:37.679 --> 01:35:45.360 show Squarespace is now a proud sponsor of the W show and um diesel actually 01:35:42.880 --> 01:35:50.199 spent probably about six hours on this website compared to the old Linus Media 01:35:47.560 --> 01:35:54.280 Group website which was a uh shoot what were we using someone already found a 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 01:35:56.719 --> 01:36:03.760 thing in like 6 hours um but what were we using before WordPress WordPress 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 01:36:07.080 --> 01:36:12.400 customizable which is cool about WordPress you're not locked into a 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 01:36:14.800 --> 01:36:20.000 spent a lot more time on it kind of wasted the time because we never really 01:36:18.119 --> 01:36:23.760 sent anyone to that website or finished it yeah I mean that's the problem with 01:36:21.960 --> 01:36:29.320 these projects is when you don't finish then they are not finished we were 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 01:36:33.719 --> 01:36:40.840 diesel yeah so was not a really good situation don't 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 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 01:36:47.000 --> 01:36:54.199 Squarespace but it takes so much time and it takes so much resources if you 01:36:51.600 --> 01:36:56.800 want to do it faster and honestly better than what most people are going to be 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 01:36:58.320 --> 01:37:04.360 CSS I asked uh bet or something about 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 01:37:06.320 --> 01:37:12.119 edit everything that's actually potentially really cool it's kind of 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 01:37:13.679 --> 01:37:19.040 paying customers cuz I don't want to be endorsing something that we're not 01:37:16.719 --> 01:37:21.880 actually paying for as a service so right now we're on a trial account you 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 01:37:25.800 --> 01:37:32.199 that concludes that let's move into our 01:37:28.880 --> 01:37:33.840 next topic here guys so again big big 01:37:32.199 --> 01:37:39.360 thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring the W show we really appreciate it um 01:37:36.119 --> 01:37:43.679 speaking of things that you can pay for 01:37:39.360 --> 01:37:43.679 monthly should you so desire 01:37:44.960 --> 01:37:52.239 it the Elder Scrolls Online is asking 01:37:48.880 --> 01:37:53.800 for a monthly fee should I just shut up 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 01:37:57.159 --> 01:38:03.599 you to cover this one so that was submitted by top war gamer on the lonus 01:38:00.320 --> 01:38:06.239 tech tips forum and uh slick go for it 01:38:03.599 --> 01:38:11.040 if uh if you want a reference back to a previous live stream that we've 01:38:11.040 --> 01:38:15.360 had um sorry if you want to reference 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 01:38:19.000 --> 01:38:24.320 his name they have too many different names for all their different stuff but 01:38:22.159 --> 01:38:29.199 Logan I I was thinking Tech Syndicate and then I was thinking raise the world 01:38:26.599 --> 01:38:33.440 thinking uh when Logan was on we talked about free to-play games and the the 01:38:31.800 --> 01:38:37.639 payment mode that most people are calling out Elders girls should have 01:38:34.960 --> 01:38:40.800 been is a free-to-play game now one thing Logan brought up that I believe 01:38:39.119 --> 01:38:45.880 both of us agreed with is free-to-play games putting no barrier to entry brings 01:38:43.480 --> 01:38:49.159 in a not strong Community every 9-year-old every single person that you 01:38:48.000 --> 01:38:55.480 don't want playing that game will be playing that game and the communities in 01:38:52.119 --> 01:38:57.480 payto playay games have been higher now 01:38:55.480 --> 01:39:00.400 is in my opinion a subscription model the best not necessarily they could have 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 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 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 01:39:13.400 --> 01:39:19.080 say they did The Guild Wars model Guild Wars released his expansions fairly 01:39:17.560 --> 01:39:22.800 often that's where they get their recurring income from now you don't have 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 01:39:24.440 --> 01:39:31.000 everything the other Scrolls team is saying well with this IP you've always 01:39:29.800 --> 01:39:37.159 been able to do everything it's a free roam very do 01:39:33.520 --> 01:39:39.360 whatever you want IP now and IP like 01:39:37.159 --> 01:39:42.599 intellectual property not like Internet Protocol yeah sorry um now where I'm 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 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 01:39:50.000 --> 01:39:56.440 currently in the game for you so in a multiplayer situation they're saying 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 01:39:58.280 --> 01:40:05.080 do everything if it's subscription based that was interesting and I was sold I 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 01:40:07.080 --> 01:40:12.760 adding a cash shop so that that's where things start 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 01:40:14.760 --> 01:40:22.239 play at all then how can you have free to play stuff implemented as well like 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 01:40:26.239 --> 01:40:31.679 is it's probably safe to speculate that these will include a large range of 01:40:29.840 --> 01:40:36.520 largely cosmetic items then if they're not going to have a pay to- win model so 01:40:34.000 --> 01:40:40.280 horse armor anyone yeah like are they I mean would it get them a lot of 01:40:37.840 --> 01:40:44.840 publicity if they like if the first viable item that would be huge one thing 01:40:43.119 --> 01:40:50.199 though is that the only thing they have confirmed is in the cash off is a name 01:40:47.360 --> 01:40:56.280 change which is no problem but there's obviously going to be more stuff we just 01:40:51.679 --> 01:40:56.280 don't know what it is for
