we should just change our starting time to 4:35 never mind that that's a completely
awkward time to start the show if we do that we'll go live at
4:40 I guess that's true it's just it's
something about you we're fashionably late fashionably why is it something
about me well I mean with you everything seems to be about you you're a very
self-centered person uh speaking of which I guess
we're on the lius tech tip show so hosted by lonus Media Group l featuring
The lineus Tech tips Forum are you implying that I'm projecting no I'm not
implying anything because I think you're you have a very suspicious disposition
and you always throw accusations
around it's all about that all right speaking of projecting Google is
projected it work kind of worked not really the rumor on the street is that
Google is has has basically reached a deal to buy twitch
for a billion dollar that's the video streaming site that we are streaming on
right now this was rumored a while back yeah exactly this was rumored a while
back but um you know never actually confirmed and even though a lot of
places are reporting that it's a done deal uh it still is oh right we're not
actually doing the topic I'm doing call outs right so that that's a thing also
Ubisoft plans to send a fan to Mount
Everest to play Far Cry 4 copy us much yeah seriously right am I
right yeah we kind of I don't know uh Microsoft is planning on merging all of
their versions of Windows into one just in case you didn't know that was
happening we'll talk about that later should call it Uber Edition they should call it barnicle's
Edition and it should have like tears on the box speaking of which Our Guest today is
Barn um British MP a British MP wants to
punish people for stealing in-game items with real world punishments like J
it's kind of a big deal and the AME punishments weren't working like like
calling them butth holes in the chat you're a
jerk go away please stop my mom says to
ignore comments from
you there we go
okay well if someone was didn't have their paws all over my mouse I'd be able
to tell you that today's sponsor is linda.com the great fantastic awesome
exceptional wonderful place to learn online with videos I mean aside from our
Channel you can learn all kinds of things on linda.com that we don't cover
so I don't really consider them a competitor you know I don't really
consider it a conflict of interest for me to sponsor them just like they don't
consider it a conflict for me to make an educational video about something and
then promote their educational videos maybe we should turn this into a bitter
rivalry we should make uh speaking of self-centered we should make
l.com lus oh God lin.com and then we
need like a picture of me being like looking into a book but very angry like
I'm looking at this with the the most neutral tone possible yeah um our other
sponsor is actually Intel they're going to have a pretty cool Presence at nerd
HQ involving giving money away to Charities and giving processors away to
cool people like you and yay so we'll
tell you more about that how to win a processor how to make Intel give a
dollar to a pretty awesome charity so
we'll cover that later on what can I do told you there would be people in the
chat wondering why I was here because I quit
really really okay let's be clear so in in the
in a recent video most of them are joking in the h220x video okay I I uh I
asked okay a couple things happened that were real and a couple things happened
that weren't real so the things that were real were that the h220x is pretty
Kick-Ass it performs really well it's expandable it's quiet Kick-Ass product
Great Value um another thing that was real I did indeed ask Luke to you know
shave parts of me that I couldn't reach on my own um but I mean the the thing
about that is that really what I was talking about was my back I mean the
coin purse isn't exactly an issue as long as there's some stretchiness to the
skin you can kind of maneuver it the way that you need to have you seen that
video where the guys are like and they have to shave it's a YouTube commercial
thing it's like it shows like all the weird things that guys do to their face
so they can shave properly and they're all like they're trying to like flatten
out their face so they can shave properly it's like they should have a non-safe for work commercial version of
that what if they make more money it's
you got to be careful saying things like they should
have they shouldn't have but it would be funny have but it would be funny so I so
I fired so I fired Luke for refusing to do that that part wasn't real he did not
get fired it would be fun if you did that though cuz then I could make t tons
of money in the legal system tons of money you know I don't have enough money
for it to be tons of money yeah I would
run out of money and then how would you feel I can take your totally doesn't
exist at all Lambo yeah exactly which would be great cuz it doesn't exist at
all you could you could like depending on how long you could hold a chair
position with your hands in front of you like this you could drive down the street in the
imaginary like get a shuffle foot thing going speaking of imaginary and uh and
employees screwing over their employers who were just trying to do something
cool this um so there's an imaginary
game called yog Ventures and there's an artist who was originally supposed to
work on the project that basically took the
$35,000 that was allocated to presumably
him not actually sure but but allocated to the artist and then went and took a
job at Lucas arts or Lucas film I think it was Lucas film and basically booked
it with 35 ,000 for what was supposed to be about 6 months of work but actually
ended up being 2 weeks worth of work this caused the yogs cast folks to
basically lose faith in Winter cool games and ask for 150,000 of the
kickstarter money to be given to them and Trust to take care of the physical
prizes as well as to you this was it's
very unclear this is all very nebulous right now because he said she said
except she's not talking so um so
apparently according to Winter cool a 100,000 of that was supposed to be for
miscellaneous things like appearances at trade shows and some promotional
activities as well as hiring a lead
programmer um however right now basically the project is completely dead
winter cool is insolvent they're bankrupt and yog's cast is not saying
much publicly at least so y Cass is the female in this situation I guess he said
she didn't comment sure yes yes I just wanted to clarify so basically what's
going on now is y cast has said look there's a lot of uh inconsistencies in
the story that people are being told but we don't really see the point of issuing
a statement right now it looks like they're going to kind of wait for the dust to settle but the big question
everyone's asking right now is what happened to that $100,000 that wasn't
for physical rewards and what are they going to do because up till now yog cast
has been pointing people towards winter cool to get refunds which obviously is
not going to happen at this point
um so let me see if there's anything else that I kind of missed here this
getting refr from uh Kickstarter things
just AR isn't really a thing as far as I can tell and as far as I can tell
kickstarting games is just a big problem because and and this is I mean honestly
this is the same trap that the yogs cast guys fell into is they they trusted a
bunch of guys who were experienced filmmaker like anim
veterans but didn't necessarily have and
by their own admission didn't necessarily have the business savvy to
actually create a game studio and so the
problem here is that when you put your trust in animators and filmmakers who
are great at telling stories and making things look great to make something that
they actually don't have any experience doing you end up with a very good trailer for something that might not be
anything like that and might not end up existing at all so one thing that yog
cast is had has done is they've given everyone a copy of nerd King Kingston's
tug King King Kingston's tug open world
game um but some of the backer options things like named in game items are
they've already said are not or may not be available in that game and uh so some
people are apparently pissed um they haven't communicated much publicly like
I said although reading through comments has actually been more enlightening than
reading the articles about what's going on because I've seen people saying well
hey I heard from them and they're doing this or they're doing that or because
apparently alcast is commenting behind the scenes a lot they're talking to
backers directly probably through the kickstarter platform or other things
instead of making public statements which is I get that yeah you don't owe
an explanation to the people who didn't give you their money at this point yeah
but then if you are actively communicating with the kickstarter people that's cool so I guess from them
it's just a matter of PR damage control like how do you how do you keep
yourselves from looking any more bad then you already look do you make a
public apology when in reality probably
a small fraction like very small fraction of the people that they would
reach with a with a video blast or like a you know an apology in every video for
a week have actually back have actually even heard of this yeah so why bring it
up if it's something where they're going to try and figure out a way to take care of these people I guess we just need to
see if they end up resolving it to people's
satisfaction um I mean I I I
I see so many ways that this went self I mean winter cool was expecting yog cast
to pimp the game a lot yeah and so that they'd get that pre-order Revenue which
would help them pay salaries which would help them actually develop the game that
they promised to develop um yogs cast didn't want to I mean obviously if we
were if we were funding development of a lonus tech tips game where
like I I don't know like uh it's like a
sidescroller combat game where I like Shout lus Media Group presents a lonus
tech tips production lonus shoots things
you're fired so if that was the objective and
the game was coming along at a pace I wasn't comfortable with and a quality
level that I wasn't comfortable with am I going to throw my name behind it more
and more and more like on the other hand
you know if they if they saw this going south was their time to to deal with it
more properly Salvage it maybe at the time that they renegotiated the contract
shortly after the kickstarter when that artist left and was there time to kind
of terminate it then I I don't know it's very hard to say whose fault this is
without actually having been on the inside of one side or the other or in
reality probably both a really know what
happened there pretty interesting there's uh I talk about a few
kickstarters that I've done for the last while but one of them I I'm not going to
be able to remember the name of it but it's I tried to buy it as a present for
my dad I bought it in January of
2012 and the plan was I bought it on Kickstarter January 2012 that was well
within the estimated shipping date and I was hoping that it would show up for
Christmas of 2013 so like 20 or Christmas of 2012 I
guess technically um it didn't it still
didn't show up yet they still haven't
even locked down a manufacturer yet and they still don't have their final
prototype done yet so I I don't know I used to be like
way behind kickstarters and I just mostly ignore that whole website
now yeah well there was that wonderful potato salad I got some never mind that
it was in the mail stuck in customs for two weeks it was delicious God kidding I
did not buy potato salad but that is very likely what would happen it would
go bad before it got to you but it's I see it for things like that balloon
thing that we saw recently where the guy has already completely designed it and
it's done yeah it's it's basically it's just a pack of
pre-attached balloons on three plastic nozzles and the idea is you can fill 100
water balloons in under a minute which is Beast nozzle fill them up and then
you give it a shake and they all pre-tie so you can fill up a big thing of them
it costs like however much for a pack and I've seen a lot of people going it's
like really stupid that it's one time use blah blah blah how is that more
efficient it's more efficient because and people have been like you should be
able to put the balloons on back on the thing I'm like that's not any faster
than tying them by hand the idea here is that for a couple bucks let's say you're
a scout troop or something okay so for like a hundred bucks when you organize
an event you can have you know however
many hundreds of water balloons ready to go in like a few minutes instead of
wasting a whole day instead of wasting an entire day having volunteers sit and
tie water balloons when you factor in how much people's time is worth
it's it's a pretty good deal I think it's and even if you're just a home
resident if it's really nice outside you want to go play with water balloons instead of filling up water balloons for
half an hour to an hour you can just be like tie tie this thing on three or four
times and then you're good to go like guess not that bad and it's already fitted to screw onto your hose so it's
super easy this is awesome this is a Kickstarter that I backed just so that
when it doesn't arrive or when it's a gigantic piece of crap um I can make a
video about how stupid back is it not shipping until like 2016 or something
end of the year next year or something like that okay I don't think I have
sound I can't hear it anyway hold on and somewhere in between is this guy
introducing Jibo the world's first family robot say hi Jibo hi
Jibo Jibo helps everyone out so that wasn't hardcoded he's the world's best
cameraman by intelligently tracking the action around him he can independently
take video and photos so that you can put down your camera and be a part of to
see take the
picture totally a focus anyway the point is
um if that manages to arrive in 2015 and
if it has anywhere near the level of of
interaction ability it's up on the table in that shot isn't it yeah so you have
to like carry it yeah you have to like move it around and stuff like it's just it's the kind of thing where it's like
um it's like someone was watching the jet Sims and they're just
like wow let's do that let's like let's
Indiegogo let's make the little like cleaner robot except like stationary and
sits on the table like twitch chat is like NSA
Skynet exactly right all right I just
got an email from the owner of swifttech I
didn't well whatever I'm cooler than you
uh so I just got an email but you're going to like this actually I got two emails today that you're going to be
pretty stoked yes it's about that so we
have an exciting new project to announce we are going to be liquid cooling an
entire room of computers on a single Loop so we're going to give you guys way
more details in the coming weeks um but
basically it's all coming together I've already got our sponsor confirmed for
cases power supplies and uh because we
like we want all the hardware to be somewhat similar so we're not just
frankensteining every single one of them as a oneoff so we're consolidating on a
single case we're going to be using a Cooler Master N600 we're all going to be
using their v750 modular power supplies they're actually a really good power
supply hard ocp just did a review on the uh on the V series and validated what I
was pretty sure we already knew about them but anyway they had a review
recently anyway um so we're getting those um water cooling is now locked
down so every machine will have an apple gxl as well as swiftex full cover with
like the lighting back plated uh full cover block for an NVIDIA graphics card
uh we are going to have radiators mounted to the systems on quick
disconnects so that in the event that a system does have to be moved we can
disconnect it from the room wide Loop connect it to its own red and move it
without interrupting the rest of the machines um we are going to have the
radiators mounted outside the building
so the idea here is that because it's been so hot in the office we will be
able to take the heat out of the room
with our liquid cooling because contrary to what a lot of people think water
cooling doesn't make your room run cooler okay just dumps more heat in the
room yeah it will dumps the same amount of heat in the room basically exactly
the same Bas I I'll go with basically the same basically it's a very very very
small rounding error so the point but I
I just can't say exactly the point is that removing it from the room is the
only way to make your room actually cooler and when you have a bunch of
people editing videos in a room then that's like this is soltion for not
buying um aing yeah okay so anyway
they're going to go to a series of Radiators mounted outside the house and
a reservoir that's going to sit in a bathtub that's like a 5 gallon Reservoir
we're going to have an industrial grade pump and then every system will actually
have its own pump as well to help deal with the pressure drop as the water goes
through all the components so we're not going to have any undue strain on any
one part of the entire setup so every yeah every computer will have six5 fivs
um so so funny story uh yeah yeah 65 655
pumps so funny story is I reached out to
NVIDIA because we were going to need cards that were compatible with the blocks and I asked them if it was okay
for us to get 780s because we do use Cuda for a lot of our editing needs uh
we do have a couple of 780s around here but the problem is that they're non-
reference and so the one that we have that's referen is the one that we use
for our reference benchmarking and then the non-reference ones we have are not
compatible with water cooling and if we were to take all the heat from the CPUs
out of the room that would help a little bit but not enough to be worth a project
like this you want to get that GPU heat out of the room I think just buying an
air conditioning unit would be I think you're crazy anyway the point is that um
you know I got an email back from them they kind of went uh I'm not sure about
this project um I think that Titan blacks would be more appropriate for
something like workstation use in this manner so uh so apparently everyone's
workstation getting a Titan black do I get one too uh no why cuz you're not in
that room whatever you can request a transfer I'll have the CEO look at it
personally my computer just straight up blue screen when I was working on the other day I was like damn my ghetto
system um so so that's happening that's
cool so we're moving all of our editors to six core LGA 2011 um not everyone has
an extreme Edition I don't think and then two Titan blacks
all theud tan will finally have a computer that can like actually use
other people's files properly and I know I know we have one of our editors on an
AMD card and there's nothing inherently
bad about that it's just that the other guys are using plugins and tools that
are Cuda tools and so when he goes to work on their stuff on his computer it's
just like or the other way around if the NVIDIA card has to open something that
the MD card was working on it's every time it's they they don't really like
using the same file sets so if anyone wants to ever work with something that
he was working with or the other way around it's it's yeah it's not good for
the workflow it's good to consolidate on one platform when you're trying to when
you're trying to share work between people um I'm just trying to think if
there's anything else that I am forgetting some people have been like
Luke stop him I've told him many many many many many we we we know this is
crazy oh yeah 100% y we're 100% certain
that this is a crazy idea but it's gonna be freaking awesome so it's gonna be fun
like yeah yeah it's gonna be fun we're gonna worst case scenario the whole room
Loop is a complete disaster the pipes blow off and the water's all over the
place and we kind of go oh crap and then we my dad in and hard pipe the whole
thing and then we hey I've already thought about this
we should do that we should just do that anyway probably we could get a fatter
line too yeah yeah how much would he
charge for that I could I don't know yeah I know I'll ask him he's not back
yet I was already going to talk to him
interesting cuz I think that'll solve like quite a few people are like Luke
stop him but Luke's just trying to figure out how to take it to a whole new level okay I I've accepted that it's
happening now it's just how can we make it even more ridiculous and cool yeah
cuz I was just going to like I was just going to come up with some kind of like
a wall mounting bracket thing or something to run the tubing around but
we could just put like roof hooks but that would be better anyway worst case scenario we disconnect the whole room
thing we give up and we go to each system being individually liquid cooled
which isn't that crazy a D5 liquid cooled system with swift tech gear is
not a problem it's fine it'll be fine
not a problem we'll just move the Reds inside the case we should totally
overclock the workstations you know we
have to do it once we don't have to worry about the heat dump into the room
and we don't have to worry about throttling because the problem is that two of their systems are thermal
throttling when that would be an interesting case for binning yeah
because we could see we could try to limit every system and then see which ones come out like which I think we
don't have enough of the same processor not really yeah cuz we have like I think
we have like 139 60x 149 something yeah
so they'll be kind of and then we have a k I think those are those are the six
cores we have so I I don't know right
all right so yeah we are we are we are
this is going could be copper even yeah
and that would just be so nice yeah I don't know it' be pretty cool and he he
clear coats all of his pipes too right so it would look awesome and like it
wouldn't like we'd have to figure out how we want the the fittings to work to
come out to the systems because I'd want to be able to move desks around if we really need to you know like if we had
like a like a fitting system you could taline every once in a while and then
have it go to a flexible pipe okay we'll figure it out we'll figure it out so uh
so yeah we'll be be we'll be overclocking the workstations maybe just a little bit not a ton you don't want to
overclock a workstation to the max but uh anyway so the confirmations here the
fact that we've got case's power supplies uh knock to us in already so oh
right the outside fans will be their uh their water resistant fans which totally
makes sense which totally makes sense we actually came up with it's funny because
I teased them about it in the video I was like why does anyone need a waterproof fan that's stupid oh we do oh
wait because we're doing something cuz we're going to hang quadruple RADS off
the fascia boards of the building and then have fans behind them we're going
to have those running off swifttech pwm Splitters so that we can actually
control them if we really need to and then we're going to have um all those I
figure we'll probably run those RADS All In Parallel because otherwise you're
going to get a lot of pressure drop from five quadruple RADS in a row so yeah our
neighbors just going to be like what our neighbors like this super nice
lady who's like super nice but also pays a lot of attention to our house she's a
good neighbor um which means she'll notice that there's like stuff hanging
off our house so epic so she'll probably ask
us yeah yeah super super nice lady those
weird loud things yeah what the heck what are those should I ask for 2,000
RPM or 3,000 RPM I mean when we're talking about that much surface area
2,000 RPM is probably fine right on the
other hand 3,000 RPM is like a th000 more RPMs yeah and we have those
controllable Splitters that's true so we could just pull it down we could we
could just get a pwm fan controller and hook that up there IGN
has a delayed video launch sorry it's actually not too bad because it autop
plays but it autop plays after a while and it tells you that it's going to do that so I don't hate this as much as
tweak down okay so this is like the biggest copycat ever because um it
wasn't that long ago that lus Media Group and Tech Syndicate and Austin
Evans and new ATV they uh went to the top of mountain to play a video game so
literally can't even uh sorry what I literally can't even that's a that's a
thing I literally can't even so anyway
the point is Ubisoft announces a Far Cry 4 competition quest for Everest oh my
God I keep signing me up what are you doing which basically is going to offer
one lucky fan the opportunity to play
Far Cry in sorry what we should get we should try
and push to get JN in to get John in that was the guy that yeah I know who
John is yeah I don't know if we'd be able to create a video entry that would
be good enough to win it I mean the grand prize is I've only found I've only
found one person who has a submission so far and they're not going to make it
really yeah okay well it's a 14 night sponsor specified accommodation thing
you get a guided track to the Mount Everest Base Camp to be clear you will
not be going to the summit I've seen a lot of a few different reporting sites
and a lot of different people talking about oh my God going to the summit is
impossible and no it's to the base camp that's not like it's still going to be
crazy ridiculously ridiculous but it's
not to the summit so this is basically
the success rate um so how many Summits
and what the success rate was over the last however many years this is from
National Geographic yeah National Geographic so you can see that um if
Ubisoft was trying to get a gamer to the top and nothing nothing against Gamers I
love Gamers gamers are good people but climbing Mount Everest is not
something where being a good person is enough it's not about that it's about
being in a you have such a good heart that you just like float to the top yeah
it's about being in amazing physical condition like this isn't the Grinch man
this isn't the little dog carries the sled to the top of the mountain like no
big deal this is like serious stuff and you got to train for it you got to act
to the to the altitude you have to you have to just have a physical disposition
that is capable of handling it like you might just be unlucky and can't do it
and and that's fine you're not a bad person you're just not able to Summit
Mount Everest so it's that's fine which
I think some people who I've who I've seen who have commented on oh it's just
to base camp that's like stupid I think probably don't realize that base camp is
still pretty intense their base camp is incredibly high and it's like not that
easy to get to and their base camp is more just like a a grouping of tents I
believe let me just find the elevation of the uh of the base camp it's still
really really high I think I think their base camp was considerably taller than
the mountain that we climbed uh yes yeah yeah so base camp is about
175,000 ft uh and then there's a North
base camp in Tibet at just shy of 17,000
ft but you'll be I'm pretty sure you'll this thousands of feet higher than we
were when we did our our Mount Elbert Summit thing with the land party like
it's nuts yeah so uh basically the the
the articles about this uh are like yeah they uh they asked us to pass along that
there is an inherent risk of death and significant injury to persons in
property associated with the Quest for Everest experience and by participating
winner understands and assumes this risk and there's like tons of physical trials
that you have to undergo before they'll even accept you and if you don't pass the physical trials and they picked you
they'll just pick someone else like they they're dropping all of your Awards and
all of your prizes and just picking someone else because they're not going to deal with like having someone that
isn't ready to go up this is something I actually wasn't even aware of this is
crazy overcrowding yeah the overcrowding like apparently climbing Everest is
like like it's become kind of nuts that's that's the reason why I wanted to
show that original graphic of success rate because um gear ability of sherpa's
knowledge on the internet all this kind of stuff has massively increased your
possibility of making it up especially stuff like gear and technology and
pre-run lines and knowledge in general like that the South path is a lot better
to take than the North path and a few other things like that but there's been
massive overcrowding um people have brought up that of course there's better
times to climb than others so these photos are probably taken during really
good times to climb but it doesn't get rid of the fact that as of right now a
lot of people are making it to the top and these groups are all going as once
so you're going to be walking in this like conga line almost the whole way up
walking and climbing there's shots I don't know if they're necessarily in here even when there's like 10 to 20
people on the same rope yeah going up
the side and then there's a serious garbage issue where I I think right now
there's uh something in effect where you have to come down with a minimum amount
of garbage or else you get fined or something right and a lot of people are
just paying the fine and there's just tons of garbage it's
not good really not good but yeah I I wanted to point that out because it's
almost unfortunate timing that they're bringing more attention to ever Everest
right now because they're going through all these problems of overcrowding and
garbage issues and stuff like that there's even groups coming together where they climb part way up and just
grab all the garbage that they possibly can and then come back down right
because they're trying to clean up the mountain because it's so bad it's like wow okay people just Ru
everything don't they um all right speaking of ruining everything it's time
to bring Barnacles onto the show so um do you want to get him sort of arranged
over there while I cover our rumor
topic this was originally posted by Tech Che and speaking of words whose Spelling
have nothing to do with how to pronounce them check like really CZ what's what's
CZ um apparently I made a mistake in
last night s the night before his Techquickie video where I pronounced
Brisbane Brisbane and for that I am very
sorry is it not even spelled that way though no b r i s b a n e or whatever
okay yeah it's spelled that way but that's not how you say it and within
moments of the video being up there were comments about Herer La lus doesn't know
how to pronounce Brisbane and my wife was like what really even I knew that
you know how good I am at geography I'm like yeah okay yeah I made a mistake
it's very funny um so yes my bad you
guys I'm very sorry to everyone who lives in you know India or wherever
Brisbane is um just kidding just kidding
I know it's not in India um so I'm very sorry to all of you down under and I
apologize and can I can I help you with something I didn't have headphones all
right I wanted to do a quick rumor topic before we bring on our large guest um
here we go so this was originally posted by Tech check and it is rumored that the
GT I'm getting a look from him right now it was rumored that the GTX 870 and 880
are coming in October it is rumored to
be a GM 204 chip still a 28 nanometer
chip are you looking for a splitter can I help you with finding a splitter
where's the splitter it's supposed to live right here you are splitting my
patience um I have no idea there should
be one in in that bin oh okay that's good touch it with your feet some more
you know I don't have to plug my things into that you don't touch it when you
plug it in well I could or I could taste it no I won't do that okay anyway the
point is just did my phone soap thing don't like that the size of the chip is
estimated to be between GK 104 and GK
110 which makes sense I mean GK 104 was
never really intended this is again all
conspiracy theory Theory NVIDIA has never confirmed this but it was never
seemed to be really intended be a truly high-end chip but GK 110 was extremely
large and very expensive so it's rumored to perform better than a than an uh 780
Ti uh the memory interface is rumored to
be 256 bits and it is rumored to consume
less power than 780 Ti um and the memory
capacity is rumored to be 8 GB so that's
quite the uh quite the set of rumors there about gigabytes and uh bits anyway
I don't have anything to say about that I haven't heard anything from NVIDIA at
this time so that's why I'm going ahead and commenting on rumors speaking of
rumors there's one rumor that I wasn't able to comment on not that long ago but
of course now NVIDIA has uh unveiled can't say anything about it
because the review embargo has not passed yet not even going to say when
that is but I will say I do have a Shield tablet and I don't even think I
can say like it's great or anything I think think all I can say is were you
allowed to show it on camera well they have pictures of it I didn't show
anything that no one's ever seen before so yeah I can't imagine we'll get in too
much trouble I mean what are they going to do tell us we can't have our Titan blacks they could do
that um that never happened continue on with the show
Internet please do not give us away
please do not give us away oh and without
further whatever this guy
hi what's up guys hey welcome to the
show Barnacles I'm back did you hear the one about the guy who lost his job oh
man guys I about I about pissed myself when you said Barnacle Edition with
tears on the box I lost it oh my God how are you
doing man no I'm hanging in there you know like life's going to change a whole
lot but uh Whoa man I'm moving around okay no uh I'm doing all right actually
I wasn't doing so good a couple days ago but I'm doing all right here I'm just
going to I want to position you correctly so you're kind of a reasonable
size so uh well okay don't take that the
wrong way um I lose my job every like three days it's okay I've been on the
internet for a while these fat joke things I come to expect them I get worried when they go away actually no
that wasn't even where I was going with that one it slipped out you know I just
I you skinny people are all alike every one of you hey all right so tell me this
what what's the plan well the plan is at
this point I've got time I've got enough uh resources saved up to get me through
uh you know I can for about six months the year I'm thinking so I'm gonna I'm
gonna go a and try to be my own boss I'm G to try to push the YouTube thing I'm going to try to work on my gaming
company opulent Studios uh founded that with a bunch of friends want to get that
back off the ground and uh see where it takes me if it if the internet rejects
me and doesn't lovers me well then I'll probably have to go back to the corporate Empire
so that's the plan you figure you've got a year worth of Nest Egg to develop hey
that's that's not bad that's very doable
I mean do you have enough to get some to get some help or would you be trying to
onean Army at Al Marcus brownley or you know a lot of those guys who have who
have shown that you can have great success on YouTube even without an
entire crew well in in the beginning and I'm going to go It Alone on the YouTube
side but on the development side I've actually got a crew I've got a graphics artist another developer and a PM um
that are all involved on the development side so I'm kind of going be working two
different projects and two different corporations the Barnacles nerdgasm thing will be just under me and the
opulent Studios will be under me and three other people so uh but as far as
bringing somebody in on YouTube that's not something that I'm like against I
mean it's some it's something that at some point I'm going to have to do if it
gets to the point where I need to create more than say like one video a day five days a week I mean at some point I've
got to be able to go do something else other than make videos yeah you tell yourself that
now I'm already feeling the pressure too let me tell you not having a job to go
to it's hard to I used to be able to come home and justify and be like ah you
know I'm kind of tired T I'm just going to Tweet out I'm not going to make a video it's fine now I'm like wow I sat
at home for eight hours and I didn't make a video I better make a
video and you know the funny thing is you go and you hire people to supposedly
you know help you make more videos or reduce your workload and you just end up
pouring it right back into production values or other projects or whatever
else the case may be like every time I find a way to alleviate some of the
pressure like this week I had Nick who's actually
my sales guy script an episode a fast as possible he did a great job the ambient
occlusion video is coming out this weekend or Monday and uh so I had I had
him do that and then I'm spending all of my time scripting a build guide so it's
like I'll just find some other massive project so the build guide was going to
be the build guide and then I'm like oh yeah I've got a little bit more time to
work on this I'm going to go get some plasty dip and I'm going to like figure
out ways to to really make this one pop
we're going to take this build guide to the next level yeah no I I definitely get that
I'm going to have the I'm going to have the same problem because I'm used to taking all of the revenue the channels
generated thus far and just dumping it back into camera equipment lighting
equipment stuff for the cave upgrades for the computers and now I got to
figure out how to like somehow leverage that to support my family at the same
time is still maintaining that so it's it's going to be tricky that's why I'm
glad I have time to make it happen it's not going to happen overnight I'm probably going to drift into the red
before I drift into the black but you know I won't know unless I try and it'll
bug the hell out of me if I don't you know what I'll say that I hope is really
encouraging um like there have been Exceptions there have been the people um
who watched lonus Tech tips before we you know sold out um which is always
funny to me because I I these days I
have far less reason to care if someone buys the product that I review than back
when I worked at a company whose existence relied on people buying the
products I was making videos about yeah so if you trusted me then you should
probably trust me now because it's it's not really any different it's certainly
not any worse but there were the people who who watched back then and and
haven't liked it since we started having to actually support ourselves and make a
living off of this content but by and
large the the vast vast majority of our
viewers of our audience never skipped a beat and have continue to support us no
matter what it is we're doing whether it's t-shirts or whatever else it is so
I would I would venture sure I would Hazard a guess that if you asked your
community to step up and help support you now that you don't have a day job
they will probably do it I I'll agree with that my community has been more
supportive than I ever thought they would be and to be honest when the the morning that I was laid off came as
complete surprise to me uh you know I was thinking about it and I was like uh
I'm I need to go find another job I absolutely have to go find another job that whole day that's all I could think
of and I and it wasn't until I saw the positive feedback that I got on Twitter
on Facebook even on the comments on the video that I posted I was surprised I
mean it's got a it got like a 100 dislikes to 12 or 14,000 likes and I've
never had that kind of ratio before so the community really knows how to come
together and you know as long as you're straight with them and you let them know
what's going on it seems like they're they're cool with it you're always going to have the trolls no matter what you're
always going to have the trolls that come out and say oh my God you're a sellout you're doing this oh you've
changed oh I don't like what you're doing now that's but that's always been
there before I made it a career you know so I I still expect that to be there but
by and large I think the community is going to back me up if they enjoy what I do I'm going to keep doing it and if
they if they decide they don't enjoy it anymore and the community starts to go
away well then that's my sign I probably shouldn't be in this business and I
should go actually get a job you know yep 100% agree and I mean I I've I've
messaged you privately saying I think you're doing a great job in terms of uh
developing your style developing your delivery um I think I gave you some
feedback that wasn't quite as positive but it was it changed my direction a
little bit though if you notice my my videos aren't 30 minutes long any
anymore and you know what's funny about it is no matter what and and you can
listen to me or you can listen to someone else or whatever else everyone's
going to have a different idea for how you can run it so if there's any advice that I can give you right now it's tune
out the advice unless you really truly believe in your heart of hearts that
it's exactly what you need to be doing because otherwise you'll go in a thousand different directions and you'll
be spread so th his own channel too well the nice thing about me is I've got the
ADHD thing going on for me so it's like all this advice pours in and just little
pieces stick here and there and here and there and I'm only capable of doing what
I'm capable of doing so that it's ultimately going to solve itself
honestly my first thought when I heard was his YouTube channel is actually
pretty big he can actually probably do this yep I was actually pretty excited
at the same time so when we went Indie we were three people I had to support
three people and we had around 250,000 subscribers and we were doing around 160
to 180,000 views a day so you have to support one person on a subscriber
number that's I know whatever 2/3 Math's
not my strong point and view numbers that are in the sort of third is and
maybe a little bit less range you can do it for sure yeah yeah and I'm trying to
go in a unique Direction with my channel like you guys know it's been all over the map I mean you can find videos on
how to put brakes on your car on my channel I mean they're there if you look
for them but realistically I'm going to stick with the 3D printing stuff I'm
going to get heavily into development though and that's a territory I haven't
done before because I want to keep my development skills sharp I've been programming for 15 years and now I don't
have a do job to go and program every day so I'm going to be working on games
with opulent Studios but I'm also planning on doing a series of videos where I actually show people how to
program I'm going to start with a simple highle language like C and show them how
to write some cool little tools and utilities and I think that that'll be kind of fun because I'm not going to go
the conventional route of oh here's a tutorial watch me type in some stuff I'm
actually going to make it kind of funny and really screw around a whole bunch and try to try to Captivate people and
keep their attention and the other thing is I the reason a lot of people think
that i h i over ham it up in my videos I get this they're like man you're trying
to be funny thing you got to realize am the slowest editor on earth and the only
way I can make it through three hours of editing is if I'm laughing at myself so
I I intentionally ham it up so that when I'm editing the video I'm sitting here
at certain parts pissing myself going I really shouldn't leave that in there but I'm going to because it made me laugh or
I'll cut it out entirely even though it made me laugh but it keeps me entertained and that's what gets me
through it when I did the boring like unboxings just open it like hey guys
here's what this is it's kind of cool and everything I had a really hard time editing that stuff it wasn't until I
started just kind of playing around a little bit that I I had fun with it and then then then you kind of see that come
out in the video you're like oh he actually had fun making this if you make
fun entertaining programming videos that
would actually be pretty cool I know have you ever seen a fun programming
video the best one I could find was ah
the New Boston or something and he like
every once in a blue moon there's like a slightly edgy comment that might make
you chuckle that's like the the the the
most entertaining programming videos I've pretty much ever found so if find
something that actually makes me laugh and teaches me how to program that would be really cool okay so so Envision this
what if I did a video where was like Bob Ross you know with like the bush and
here's the little tree I'm gonna be like here's the little variable and then I just keep going back to it I'm like
here's little variable again we're going to put a little symbol next to him see makes them look cool syntax and you're
like that's a happy accident we're learning it's a happy accident oh my God
yeah no but I'm going to try I'm going to try things out I'm going to take risks like I said I had time if I didn't
have time and just to clarify a lot of people think I'm taking a huge risk here
for my family cuz my son needs a lot of therapy realize I am not going to let my
resources get exhausted I will go back to an IT job long before I'm in trouble
I'm not going to push this to the last minute and go oh crap I screwed up let's go live under a bridge ain't gonna
happen yeah all right so speaking of
screwing up and living under a bridge um if you steal ingame items one British MP
this was posted by joners on the Forum one British MP thinks that you should go
to jail or P finded or community service
or whatever realworld consequences exist
for real world crimes he wants to see that happen to people who uh who steal
things digitally and we're not talking steel digitally like what we're always
hearing about stealing movies Stealing
music stealing Windows which you don't
have to care about anymore um
no actually I got to care about it more than ever we're talking stealing
swords like like ingame items and stuff
like that and not like oh he ninja looted it he picked it up off the ground
before I could or he like need roll date when he didn't actually need it or he
you got to realize swords and games to some of these guys are like real items
yeah yes they are like I I know I know I have a friend who plays World of
Warcraft and seriously the the way I see him scream in pain when something bad
happens in that game it's like you might as well be like stealing his real stuff
and like breaking into his house and beating him with it you know and the thing about it is and and this is this
is something like for me personally in-game items are not something I've
spent a ton of money on over the years this is a fairly interesting thing I'm going to interject before you keep going
you can buy a kamb bit in real life for
cheaper than you can buy a kamb bit in Counterstrike wow that's screwed up okay
so and selling them originally jer's
post on the Forum was kind of mocking this as if you know ha haa it's not real
stuff and as someone who who doesn't
spend a lot of money on in-game or digital items I kind of my initial
kneejerk reaction was what really go to
jail for you know like like get charged with Grand Theft for stealing $5,000
worth of you know boots in Diablo or
like what or whatever the case may be and then I kind of stopped and thought
about it for a second because is is is a digital currency and and we could just
let's just call in items let's call Team Fortress 2 Hats a digital currency are
they not anything that can be converted to and from another currency and can be
traded for goods and services between people is kind of a currency so is
stealing digital currency that someone worked for and if that work was farming
gold or if that work was you know sitting at their desk trading stocks is
that any different is that currency any different from from money and I kind of
started thinking about it going well [ __ ] $5,000 of in-game boots is still
$5,000 and that still got stolen I think this is a huge step in the right
direction so sorry I'm all done with my thoughts
yours no I I agree I agree I think you
know I think people take that stuff very very seriously and it's one thing to get your items stolen in game if you put
yourself In Harm's Way but to have hacking involved to take it I mean I
really don't look at it any different than hacking a bank account and taking money out I mean you're definitely
taking away something somebody worked for yeah and we're not talking like you
board their ship and you gank right board their one11 port and send
some an UB packet and like knock it over and steal all their crap yeah it's
bad I meant yoink I said gank I don't know how that slipped
out yoink this [ __ ] yeah oh see whatever
like I was I was going for The Simpsons thing and completely I know it kind of
works but not fully what I meant to say was yo and I have no idea how that work
we all kind of let it slide cuz you're not that much of a gamer anyways so we were like ah wow
wow wow you know what's funny is I can't I can't beat the last level of BioShock
Infinite but you can't beat it on a shield no I tried it on my computer last
night I'm only a quarter of the way through I really need to finish that now
that I actually like have time and you know what I'm more of a gamer these days
and you give me credit for I actually game a fair bit on NVIDIA
Shield I play BioShock Infinite that's the most recent game that I've played in
a long time I'm a I'm more of a gamer these days than you give me credit for I
played BIOS sharing that's the most recent game I've played I started limbo
he played it for like 5 minutes you started limbo I'm almost done Super Meat
Boy what are the release dates of all these games not that that really matters
to be completely honest care I hate you anyway the point is do you have anything
to add to the in-game items thing or can I uh no I think it's awesome I've seen a
whole bunch of stuff like this happen I know people that have had their accounts hacked I've had my account hacked I've
had my account hacked and all my games stolen from from origin and I took it
was a nightmare to get it all back took me like a week at one point in time my
character in wow was worth a lot of money and my WOW account got hacked like
many times despite doing many precautions it didn't really seem to
matter all right so let's move on to the next thing um valve had this controller
idea that was like revolutionary and groundbreaking we were
going to have touchpads Oh I thought we were all going
to do it now Barnacles was doing it and then are we are we are we going for this
or what we doing I'm confused what kind of show is this I don't know the point
is valve had this Innovative controller idea with touchpads and I kind of looked
at it and I went okay that's cool in
theory let's see how this pans out and I swear every single revision to the steam
controller makes it closer and closer and closer to this which is The Shield
controller and I'm not saying that valve was copying something that didn't exist
yet I'm saying that the shield controller is not really inherently any
different from an Xbox 360 controller and so the closer it gets the um the the
less Innovative it is and I just have to wonder if there's any point in them even
continuing to develop this thing eventually going to get rid of the touch
pads even yeah so so the latest iteration here sorry I'm making Bar CLE
go away for a bit here sorry sorry we've got a couple shoulder
buttons we have a touchpad uh there's
those back buttons basically everything's the same they change one of
the directional pads with a joystick yes so we've got a joystick and abxy now uh
which originally was not the case um I personally am starting to kind of like
it but I'm not a huge fan of both analog
sticks being but like on the bottom I'd
prefer to have a d-pad here an analog stick up here uh your thoughts with how
I hold it I like having my an careful where you go with this
sentence I like having my analog stick
on the top of the left side because I
kind of like push it into my left hand which makes my left hand go up a little
bit it's just cuz I've used an Xbox 360 controller for so long so I like it
being up there so this is still going to bug me unless I just use that touchpad
all the time right but then uh why would I use this controller Jerry touchpads
touchpads on game controllers um honestly I thought it was really cool
and they first did it and then I was like nah this isn't going to work
because there just you don't have that Precision you don't you get you just get
used to using the thumb stick after so long and when you pick up a controller
it's just having something you have to constantly keep picking your finger up
and moving it back and dragging around and stuff would drive me absolutely
crazy well they demoed playing Portal but then if you watch that demo they
weren't there was they weren't doing anything particularly complicated the
only I maintain that the only games that really makes a ton of sense for is stuff
like Civ and if it was going to be turn base
kind of slow where you can kind of sweep around and there's probably more things
on screen if and if you were going to play Civ anyway wouldn't you just get
like a TV dinner stand and like a ducky a ducky mini much better and a mouse
that would be much better I guess it really depends how the games are developed but honestly games are going
to be developed either for a keyboard mouse experience or for a controller
experience I mean until they start specifically making game profiles that
like suit thumb touch pads it's going to feel awkward and my my thing is that
they the original design catered to
they're adding something to the market so that hopefully more games could be
played in this situation and now they're moving away from that to
the point where before I was like okay maybe I could have this controller for those couple games where it makes a ton
of sense and now I'm like no I'll just probably stick to a 360 style controller
and be fine yeah I think what it comes down to just what people are used to I
mean you've been using the 360 controller and that style of controller for so long that it's going to be really
hard to to change over it's just like keyboards right we all we all use you
know the standard standard layout we don't use dvorac you know some people do
but it's like who wants to memorize a whole new format just to be a little bit faster I switched to the vorac actually
and I loved it but it was a serious issue every single time I use someone
else's computer I bet and that's what ended up making me drop it actually
because when I switched I wasn't working
um I was just going to school and then when I started working again I was in an
IT shop so people's computers would come in and I had to work on tons of
different people's computers all the time and it just drove me nuts I couldn't memorize both different layos
so I just dropped that's the problem with deviating from standards is you're on your own right I mean once you do
that you're carrying your own keyboard everywhere yeah if I only ever used my
own keyboards it would be fine we had an intern once who brought his own keyboard
to work every day that's a hardcore intern right there and he had a plastic
cover for it that kept it dust proofed and everything it was fantastic badass
he didn't care about the mouse nope well every computer I had at work was a
mechanical keyboard I I bought mechanical keyboards for my for my two
offices of my two workstations because I just couldn't stand those little membrane keyboards anymore I have my own
mechanical keyboards on all my stations now
which is bizarre because we have so many mechanical keyboards here you don't let
me use any of them well then you'll ruin them you'll get them all workplace it's
a really good investment for the workplace because you can tell if people are working with mechanical keyboards
because you just kind of listen it's
like it's a good point anything El for
jills speaking of not being sure if anyone's working um the hard drive
industry so we first got 4 tbte hard drives back in late 2000
2011 and if you guys remember leading up
to that we were getting new hard drive capacities like what every 6 months we
went from 320 to 640 to to 500 750s and
1 terabytes and then we got 1 and a half terabytes 2 terabytes 3 terabytes four
ter and then nothing I still remember being at packs having to explain to
everybody what don't forget the six that was it Sam I think Samsung made a six or
was it seate or Samsung I can't remember aachi had a big one I think yeah can't
remember someone did um but the point is we're finally seeing
a big move all of a sudden WD just released a red uh 6 terabyte and then
they went ahead and validated it for up to eight of them in a single enclosure
so we're talking 48 terabytes in a
single 8 bay enclosure which is freaking unreal um and Seagate is apparently
sampling 8 and 10 terabyte hard drive so the original article is from dl. SK this
is not like to end users or anything but let's just have a brief discussion what
would you do with 10 tbte hard drives I just back up the internet I
just back the whole thing up and then cancel my internet subscription save some money that's what I I guess you
need to now cuzow you're a terrible person I can see
a lot of people buying two drives and raid oneing them instead of a huge set
and raid oneing the that's exactly what I do so you could streamline them you don't need massive hard drive arrays as
hardc cour you don't you won't need like this full tower just because you want a
lot of hard drives y well my Nas set up as three external drive arrays that each
hold four driv so I could have a total of 12 of those 10 10 terabyte that'd be
awesome that'd be absolutely awesome I I you know what's funny is I used to like
I used to just kind of crave more storage and I was always trying to add
more storage like I got Windows Home Server V1 um a project which I was super
sad got just completely destroyed you
and me both you and me both I still run 2011 and I'm pissed off that they took
out all the drive pool capability yeah so Drive pool was super cool and I would
just I would just add drives and add drives and add drives and then I moved
to 2011 and I finally went with a proper raid because that's what you have to do
now and um I built like a big fat raid and then I expanded it and that ended up
being the server that now lives at our office and we used for that and when I
when I had to move something back to my house cuz I now had no Nas what I
realized was my personal dat was only taking up about 3 and2 terab on it I
don't even know what people and that's mine my wife's like we we only have ssds
in our computers so that's all the mass storage for everyone in my house I can't
figure out what people are putting on their nazes I have a lot of I have a lot
more than that just yeah for me it's it's the raw image stuff like when I do
photography of my family and stuff like a single raw image I have can be 65
megabytes for just like one raw image I back up um a lot of the work
I've done here on my own Nas I back up
like all my school stuff I've ever done all images game I keep game installation
files for old games MH where you'd like
need the CD Now if it's not on Steam essentially those aren't that big we're
talking 650 Meg files we're talking 10 Barnacles photos I have a lot right and
like I I'll be honest I've never come close to filling up my storage I mean I
still have 30% free and I'm already ready to go buy the next generation of
drives it's funny you guys are talking about this cuz I was going to go buy a whole bunch
the 6 terab Reds to replace my existing one and two terab drives that are in
there so what I'm planning to use the new high-capacity drives for is I'm
going to because right now we have way too many drives we have a 21 terabyte
array that's made up of three terabyte drives it's in raid six so there's two
for redundancy there and then we have a couple hot spares just in case um redund
is a big deal everybody please use that no I was saying redundancy is a big deal
I learned a bad lesson when I first set up my first Windows Home Server is uh
yeah I wasn't replicating the data across any of the drives and and I lost
some stuff that I'll never get back and that's that that's freaking horrible so
now everything in my house I just consider half the storage is what I get
because everything's redundant one way or another yeah so I'll be using the new
drives to build an offsite so that we can be doing a nightly sync to somewhere
that's not here I was doing that for some essential stuff before with my home
one but it just doesn't have enough space on it it's uh it's like kind of an
older not very mini Port raid card and I only have one tab drives for it we don't
actually have a ton of extra drives around here because if you use them all
yeah we don't do we don't do a ton of hard drive reviews no one's released
anything in the last however many years so what what are we going to review so
we're not going to get review samples or anything and then like and every time
that there is a new hard drive it's like Yay put it in the server it's bigger a
little bit Yeah so there's not much to say but I yeah I guess all I would do
with them if I had two 10 tab drives I would just go straight raid one two
drives raid one done because that's what I mean yeah I don't need amazing right
speeds for network attached storage and then raid one you do get a slight read
speed benefit from it so great yeah like
that that single or double Drive raid ones will be pretty sweet actually
speaking of single or double drives we have two sponsors for the show today so
sponsor number one is Intel's Presence
at uh hold on I have my uh I have my whole thing up here for it at least I'm
supposed to I'm going to fire that guy while all
right so Intel is going to be at nerd HQ
so I'm going to go ahead and screen share with you guys nerd HQ they're
going to have a presence there and they've got some cool stuff to go along
with what they're doing so first and foremost they have an offer code right
now so from now until July 28th you can
get 25 bucks off select Acer stuff with promo code nerd hq2 or get 50 bucks off
select a Seuss product with the code nerd HQ Q50 these are very creative
codes for $25 off it's got a 25 in it
and for $50 off it's got a 50 in it so
I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to post the bit.ly to where you can check
out those deals but while deals are cool
and they are deals are great I love deals um even better than deals is free
stuff so all you got to do is tweet add inel USA with # Intel nerd scene for a
chance to win a core I 7 processor they
actually didn't specify what core i7 processor it
is but based on the fact that they say it has an estimated retail value of
$1,000 I think we can guess probably an
extreme Edition very cool on top of that every tweet gets them to donate a dollar
for Operation Smile so you should definitely do that even if you don't
care about winning the processor all you have to do is tweet why ComicCon makes
you smile with hashtag Intel nerd scene at the Intel USA handle
cost nothing each tweet is a dollar up to a total of $5,000 so you can check
out the full terms and conditions I'm going to go ahead I'm going to post that link into the twitch chat right now and
then we also have another sponsor and spor I'm going to rely on
Luke to go ahead and change it to our second lower third here okay good job
Luke you did well you're hired why is it
this why is it what what no there we
go I failed wow you're fired
again crap you're amazing all right
linda.com you want to learn something cool aside from lus Tech tips linda.com
is a great place to do it so you can work on you know say video editing DSLR
photography or video shooting or any of the other skills that Barnacles needs
now that he doesn't have a job anymore Linda I'll
linda.com go to linda.com wano for a free 7day trial know sad is I'm going to
do that linda.com has very reasonable plans they allow you to learn at your
own pace they have industry experts teaching them it's all really amazing

thing about linda.com is one of our very own employees here in fact a couple of
them really like it but one of our very own employees uses the skills he learned
with linda.com to do his job as one of our video Ed /d designers every single
day so it is a website it is a product that we believe in very very strongly
and they have a new feature so this is cool they have they're what they're
calling this is linda.com made you a

really guide you through the learning process so guys check it out linda.com wow for a free 7-Day trial Barn pleas do
it now welcome back how are education learn your
book people are requesting that you teach C++ or C instead of C by the way
no God okay one one thing you can't make C and C++ funny you can't are we about
to get a rent I would love to hear it let let's hear a programming rant about
why one programming language is much funnier than the others please Okay C
and C++ require you to do all your own memory management and pointer Precision
logic and all that it takes forever to get anywhere I will personally watch if
you do CN C+ plus all right screw it I'm doing a CN C++ I'm be like all right
guys we're going to do hello world and it'll be a four hour long damn
it I like C because it's like in 100 lines of code you can like you know you
can make something cool and CN C++ 100 lines of code yeah you can do hello
world and like properly return something um it's not that bad but but still I I
just I I prefer language higher level languages with rapid development and
stuff creating applications stuff like that if I'm not creating drivers I'm not going to be using native
code so yeah that's how it's going to be
fine whatever whatever I'm not doing Java okay I'm not doing Java take that
back if I go work for Google I will do Java just not right
now oh now we got everybody over here doing like doing C++ nice see out hello
world all right fine fine God these
people oh twitch chat okay how I love
them I'm in the steam music baa thing
with wow good for you you got a prize
I such a Breer everything is about you
and you're always so down on our guests being all insulting to them that's no I
have no want insulted Barnacles no lonus
just keeps making me hungry he said smage Borg I was like yeah I got
you hey I want to I wanted to ask you guys about something earlier you were
talking about the water cooling stuff and that you're going to do the whole room water cooling uh I was thinking you
guys should put a kitty pool outside as the reservoir with a curtain on it and a
shower and literally just before the RADS put the shower so you can just go
out there and have a nice you know heated shower all the time and then it
would pick it up run it through the RADS pull the Heat and then Loop it back through that would be awesome that would
make the funniest imagine to clean and and decontaminate that Loop yeah can you
imagine having like ball sack gunk in your water block no no it's okay just
put a fil just put a filter in there on your Loop you said you have an industrial pump so just put yourself
like one of those microbial filters on it you'll be fine you know how there's
that like junk face commercial thing junk
Loop just don't use clear clear tubing you don't want to see little floaties
flying through there it's like it's like yeah my uh my GPU is overheating there's
a pube in it you said it you said it I hey I I
showed restraint there oh my God that'd be so funny you
like take your water block apart and there's like a cat ball here oh my God
no actually Loop contamination was one of the big things I was worried about
with that project because um I I actually I found other projects where
people had gotten the the notion and
it's a mistaken notion but had gotten the notion that having a a very large
Reservoir will make your Loop run cooler uh what it does is it makes your Loop
take longer to reach equilibrium but your temps will not be appreciably lower
unless your Reservoir is also a heat dissipation device especially when we're
running so many systems so if you had aluminum fins on it or something like
that where it was actually cooling the water in it then that does something otherwise you're just creating a much
longer delay while the water heats up so I found a couple projects where people were using
things like 5 G pales for their liquid cooling reservoirs and one of those guys
I mean again we're talking people who think that the reservoir will cool the
loop so they're not doing their research like I'm not saying that's a stupid
assumption I I thought that at one point until I did my research and found out it
doesn't work that way but we're talking people who didn't do a lot of research but anyway one of these guys said he had
enough Gunk growing in his Loop within two weeks that his that his pump was not
able to move any water through CPU just to clarify for anyone who wants to do a
mineral oil build you still need a fair amount of volume in your tank yeah don't
just be like oh I don't need that much it's okay yeah uh speaking of mineral
oil cooled machines our mineral oil uh
kit from Puget systems has shipped and our I think it's here 12 gon oh it
arrived I think so oh well our 12 gallon thing of mineral oil has also shipped oh
I don't think that arrived no that's not here I shipped it to the US and then it
up so we are going to be doing For Better or For Worse an matx mineral oil
cooled machine wish us so much luck are
you guys just going to fully submerge the whole thing I'm sorry are you going
to fully submerge everything you bet except for the hard drive are the hard
drive you can't though right there's no hard drive positioning in this tank
configuration anyways cuz the store the store I used to work at like 15 years
ago they literally had a fish aquarium they just filled with mineral oil and
everything's just dumped in there like they didn't even do it nicely they just dumped the motherboard dumped the power
all the fans spin it like one RPM and it just works it's
crazy that's fantastic yeah yeah um
especially with their kits it's like honestly a lot easier than you'd think
cuz you just build it on the plate that they have and then slide it in and then
pour oil in and you're done okay how do you how do you even clean that though
like if you ever wanted to take that out and upgrade it I mean you just call it a loss as soon as you dip it in there like
you're on basically it's going to take
you forever to dry out the component if it's something like a graphics card that
has a sticker on it which is less common these days but was very common back when
I did it that sticker will come off anything that's rubber will probably
deteriorate die and particle away um but
most things will work some things you're going to have to pay attention to is stuff like thermal paste could be kind
of grabbed away from it so if you take it out of the oil you have to make sure
that you re thermal paste pretty much everything wow um and you're probably
going to have to drip dry your stuff for a long time unless you feel like
sacrificing bottles and bottles of some
type of non-conductive solution that you can clean all the oil off with like
isopropyl alcohol or something like that but you have to be careful with those
two because some of the ones that I've seen people suggest are really
aggressive and can like eat away at metals and stuff which is not good for
your components so be careful about what you're going to wash it with the way I
did it was I just drip R everything and everything worked except for my graphics card because I forgot to redo the
thermal paast and tested it and then it died but everything else worked so
basically we're going to I have a sacrificial graphics card that we're going to use I have an old 5870 ifinity
6 Edition that has a Spitfire cooler on it so it's got a nice big cooler so we
could probably actually do it with no fan on anything like just fans o flow so
good because it pushes the oil I know but it's a very very large cooler and it
extends away from the graphics card itself so I think I remember that cooler
yeah we it might be okay I mean we'll try it and see how it goes and then we'll go from there but yeah it should
be pretty cool hey yeah and we have an entire box of like Tower heat sinks yeah
and those are going to be the best for that situation anyways unless I've seen
some people started screwing around with putting like AO liquid coolers and just
hanging the radiator outside of the thing so you have an individual cooler
for the CPU and then you cool everything else with oil don't ask I didn't the
coolest one that I've seen was somebody took a foam box and they filled it with
mineral oil and then they took the condenser out of one of those little Windows AC units and just set it on the
top and had a pump just circulating the liquid over the top of the condenser and
it was just keeping it like almost freezing that's
fantastic and it would be easy to find a window air conditioner that you could
just cannibalize for something like that um I'll be back in a moment do you want
to do the steam uh the steam music topic make sure you screen share with them and
stuff yeah you know how to do it right here let's just switch laptops for a sec
Windows P we'll switch our identical looking laptops hooray oh oh there you
go all right so the steam music interface beta isn't like uh that of a
looker and there isn't a ton of support for different formats so they haven't
actually added any support from when it was just in Steam Big Picture so as of
right now it supports stuff like MP3 and that's it and they have a quote
on their website that says unless you're a big fan of the play button you may not
find your favorite music feature exists here yet so there isn't a ton of
features but what is actually really cool I'm excited for you to show this um
is the fact that you can play it and mess around with it in the steam overlay
so for me I don't know if this is the default buttons but for me it's just shift Tab and it brings up the steam
overlay and I can change what music I have and what music I'm playing and all
that kind of stuff which is kind of great it looks very simple so I'm going
to bring it up here in one second Windows
P oh jeez send or duplicate
duplicate wow you fed stripped that
quick so this is essentially what it looks like so if you in your library
window in your drop down instead of selecting games you just select um music
and then it just has a list of all your music and then this player right here
this one individual popup is essentially the player that you get extremely simple
there's no way as of right now as far as I can tell to add all of your music to a
que it only works with MP3s there's almost no features it has Shuffle it has
Shuffle basically it has all the features of an iPod Shuffle MP3 or go
home man doesn't does an iPod Shuffle have shuffle all I don't know I never had one because
they were dumb I didn't have one
okay um but yeah so it's not a ton of features but the whole idea of it right
now is that they're trying to get feature suggestions from the community
so send them suggestions and they'll try and figure it out all right so
uh you mean like this one
yes oh it's heavy all right so there's
my compressor over there why do you just have this laying around I'm sorry why do
you just have this laying around like well I used this for my old uh my old
chilled liquid system with uh I had an
e6600 that I think I had at 4 GHz 247
stable I think that was the frequency I had it running at and uh I actually had
this mounted to a uh like a like a
cooler like like an ice box cooler I had
this mounted to that on like a thing underneath my case so that it could be
mounted all the time I had the whole thing insulated so my CPU load temps
were in the sub te degrees um full load that's awesome it
looks like even custom mounted some 120 mm fans on there too to replace the big
huge one with by custom mounting you mean uh zip ties and all the uh all the
Silverstone 120 Ms that I salvaged from customer builds then uh yes so basically
I I used to build all of the of the super high-end liquid cooled systems at
ncx and those systems were all and Silverstone tj07 so that case came with
a couple of 120 mm fans in the basement
but most of the time I would end up ripping those out and replacing them
with some other high-end fan because these were customers buying 3,000 4,000
5,000 $7,000 machines right and most of
them didn't care so I was like when people would pick up the systems a lot
of them were local orders I'd be like yo can I hold on to these fans so over the
years I I have lost more of this model
of fan than probably most people have ever owned of any
fan wow it's pretty insane you have to
repurpose that for the mineral oil build you have to I bet I could repurpose it for the
whole room no we probably shouldn't do that if the idea is to try to not kick
he I mean we could mount it to the roof mount it to the roof the only problem is
with it if you mounted it outside you wouldn't have that cool air return so
the I don't know how efficient the condenser would be cuz I mean the whole window unit right is you have all the
Heat exha in outside and then it's circulating the cool air inside over the
condenser I just don't know how much heat you'd be able to get rid of you just keep recycled recycling that heated
air you'd have to duck the hell out of it mm but inside it would work great for
that mineral oil build that would just be cool do it I don't know if it's worth it
going with like the smallest mineral oil case cuz we wanted to image this giant
thing and this has like leaves on it and stuff so if we win with the some be fine
dude all right I'm going to I'm going to go put this thing away cuz it's
extremely heavy uh what else we got we have I can jump to the Microsoft topic
yeah sure just to make it super awkward o yay so your favorite person in the
world has decided to that he's going to be merging all separate versions of
Windows into one yes so essentially they're bringing
the like Windows desktop Windows phone and Xbox teams all together into one
little group and that one team will be streamlining the next version of Windows
from all these three operating systems into one operating system yeah it's what
it sounds like and to be honest if they do it right I think that's the right
direction to go because I think it's just too hard to maintain three completely different operating systems I
mean so it it makes sense but as far as
yeah the the layoffs don't make sense because like you still need all that intellectual property I don't get it
yeah I don't really understand well the issue I have with this idea is that
we're assuming that Microsoft the company that brought us the Metro
UI um when they were only trying to
converge two screens going be able to converge all of these he going to be
able to do what Apple decided was impossible when they developed a
completely new operating system called iOS good luck this this is why I say if
if they do it right I agree if because no offense to Microsoft that if is an
impossibility but Apple knows UI a lot
better than they or has demonstrated over the years that they've been more
progressively minded in terms of UI than Microsoft one thing that I'm hoping is
going to happen is that it's not a UI convergence
necessarily okay so it's a different it's a different skin over top of the
same back no because they're they're they if you go to the basically exact
same announcement that they made in April which is where they're doing Universal apps if they just stick with
the universal apps thing have everyone working together so that the UI feel
feel the same like so that the idea is
the same so that different menus will give you the same options and stuff like
that but they aren't exactly the same I
think that would be good okay so here's the problem I'm going to show you I'm
going to show you that's Microsoft I'm going to show you what the problem is
okay so problem Pro here hold on we got to screen share with me we got to screen
share with me the problem is that if you
have something that's sharing features or sharing resources between a couple of
different ation of the same thing then you end up with this oh no so hold on oh
what what are you going to wreck now hold on how do I even open the Metro UI
on this there we go all right so I'm Windows key no no it's disabled it's
disabled on this one so if I can even get there we go stupid thing will even
open so I want to say for example no no
no no no right right right right right I remember what I was trying to do okay we'll get there eventually everyone
we'll get there eventually so users okay so I want to I want to edit
user accounts or something wait what
what why can't I do it wait what why can't I change my password why can't I
do anything oh what are you talking about that's the most intuitive UI ever just look at that Majestic thing right
there what I'm mean I'm in here now what hold on a second why why what why why am
learn the Windows dude learn to Windows I know right and then and then and then
hold on hold on hold on no it gets better it gets better so I go in here
and I'm like oh yeah well hey I want to uh you know resolution I want to change
my resolution or something so okay I
actually hey it's intentionally obvious gated so only Power users can figure it
out dang it you know what the stupid thing here is I actually I had an
example that I remembered where within Metro UI it dumps you back to the
desktop can't remember what it was anymore there's actually a couple
different places yeah there's a couple different places it does it I couldn't remember if resolution was one of them
but the point is that I think when you give people this um you know oh well
this one's optimal for tablets or this one's optimal for desktop or for 10 foot
or whatever else I think you leave a lot of room for Corners to get cut well we
don't want to redo the UI for um changing your user password so we're
just going to dump you in this other interface that you obviously if you
wanted to use it you would have been using it already yeah and then there's places where there's duplication right I
mean there's a lot of places where the same EX features are exposed through the desktop or through the modern shell and
that gets a little confusing too I'm okay with that personally yeah I'm I'd
rather have a duplicated feature than missing functionality in one cuz that
infuriates me when I'm looking for something going to user accounts in the
desktop version and be able to change your password and then going to user accounts and Metro whatever the heck and
being able to change your password I think that's fine no no I I agree and what I do when
I when I install windows8 the very first thing I do is I go change all the file associations so they all go to desktop
applications oh oh my goodness that is so annoying whenever I fire up a new I
don't know what it is but whenever I fire up a new Windows 8 machine I'm
always in a hurry so in the case of in the case of this because if I wasn't in
a hurry I'd install Windows 7 on it um shut up dude come on SO in the case of
this machine I was I was in a hurry because we were supposed to do our first
sponsorship spot where we were using these computers on the L show and I
needed to get my machine set up I needed to get all my logins done so I could
screen share and my Twitter and my blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
all that stuff and what happened
was I was like I was hurrying through it and I went and I opened some photo I
think it was like the lower third for the show and I spazzed like lost it cuz
it opens in this stupid application that
has no functionality takes forever to
launch in spite of the fact that I'm running on an SSD it's like maybe you're
a smart guyy you're a programmer maybe you can explain this to me why the hell
could any application that's let's say let's say the photo viewer let's say
it's super bloated because it doesn't do anything so let's say it's super bloated
and it's like a you know 30 Meg program okay why could a 30 Meg program ever
take multiple seconds to open on something that can read at 550 megabytes
per second with a processor that's not even being taxed
the the the short answer to that is dependencies on other services uh it's
not why what is it even doing with the other services it doesn't do anything no
no it does it does this is the thing people don't realize is most of the modern applications that you're using
are based on HTML 5 that's rendered through mshtml which is the ie's
rendering engine which also has dependencies from the rest of the system
so a lot of that slowness that you're experiencing everything is all those
subsystems coming online and into alignment so that it can render your
experience that's stupid that's terrible but the whole
point is is it makes it easier for developers to make an app because they
literally can make an app that compiles at runtime rather than having to
actually like know how to code really dumb I should probably re rephrase that
because that is a form of coding I don't want I don't want all the HTML 5 jocks
to come after me but but that's the that's the simple
answer is whenever you have something that sits on top of a bunch of subsystems all those subsystems take a
memory like people used to laugh uh do you guys remember like this goes way
back but you remember that competition that was held in actually I think it was held in Canada assembly do you remember
that when they used to have the competition where who could make the coolest program in 5 kilobytes yeah and
so back then they did everything in assembly every single instruction to the
processor was raw they would try to make these things insanely small well now we
do the opposite of that now what we do is we build a layer on top of a layer on
top of a layer on top of another layer that's like a cousin of another layer and then another layer on top of that so
that you only have to write five lines of code but at the end of the day you're running 200 million lines of code half
of which you don't don't need and that's the unfortunate part with higher level
languages the thing I wish had happened then and this is going to seem like an
odd thing to wish for is if we're going to do that anyway then I wish Microsoft
had had the stones to just stick with what they did with Vista and say look
you want to have a great experience with this operating system get more RAM get a
better CPU they couldn't though they couldn't because I know they couldn't
but I wish they had oh you and me both
but they had to that's the thing is whenever you create a product that's
designed for a whole array of devices you have to develop for the lowest common denominator which unfortunately
is like a Casio watch with Windows 8 I mean it's kind of like it runs on this
for crying out loud what is it this this is a Surface RT this thing's got like
less RAM than like a flip phone and and and it runs on here so that's the
problem they tried to make it super small and that's the thing is I mean if
if Windows 8 if Windows 8 was designed to just when it boots up let's say I was
willing to sacrifice a little bit of boot up time cuz frankly who cares who
who shuts down their computer SDS too
you can be so freaking sleep man so no and they do have they have look ahead
caching and stuff like that like the system is supposed to learn your your
Tendencies which apps you open and use most often and then it's supposed to
load those ahead of time like them in the memory I think an operating system
should probably assume that at some point the user is probably consumer
grade operating system that user is probably going to open a photo yes I
agree so why not just have it ready for me I guess that's the question and
obviously it's not your problem anymore but nope that's that's my frustration as the
end user who kind of looks at this thing and goes this is an app that has no
functionality it's bloated beyond all reason and it just makes my life worse
it does nothing to make my life better the thing that makes me really upset is
a lot of people like like you're telling me about your bad Windows 8 experience and your your bad Windows 8 experence so
far has involved the modern UI right and everybody talks about the the the modern
shell the modern exper expence and the start screen if you will and it's like
those two things Define the operating system from the customer's perspective
but it's like if you look at everything else if you look at the memory manager
the kernel the how all the stuff that was redesigned for Windows 8 it is so
much faster and so much more streamlined than Windows 7 ever was but like why
Windows 9 will be good it happens every time yeah but
that's the that's the thing that really sucks is it's like all you do is you install Windows 8 change your file type
associations throw a classic start menu on it and the thing will run circles
around window 7 it just does I guess but
every in you'll run into something and it's incredibly frustrating and the
problem is that it just doesn't matter to me because I've I've always been one
of those guys who like I loved Windows Vista I thought Windows Vista was such a
huge improve going back to Windows XP felt like going back to the Stone Age
once I'd been using Vista for 6 months nine months when everyone else was was
still shunning it because I was running you know four or eight gigs of memory at
the time and I was running uh a very fast dual core at I think I either had
an e6600 or a q6600 or something like
that which was at the time the Q66 was like a $700 processor oh yeah so
obviously no one was running that stuff but for me I was like yeah this is great
so I've always been one of those people who's just thrown more Hardware at the problem so I mean even with something
like Windows 7 let's say you have some inefficiency or something I mean I've
got an 8 SSD raid zero ra what do I care something's like 20% slower I'll never
see it um so you go and put in
conveniences in front of me like not being able to alter a user account
unless I go into the modern UI well screw you then I'm not going to use it
and I think that's where a lot of people get stuck and are there great things
about Windows 8 yes absolutely it's just I'm not going to
tear my hair out every time I need to do some basic thing and relearn it over
that I don't know no no I I completely
understand and there are situations where even I would run Windows 7 in place of Windows 8 I mean they're
they're pretty rare situations but you know to to each their own I guess you
said like you said with Vista right Vista was if you didn't if you only had
you know a Gigabyte of memory you were screwed right ter absolutely SC remember
that horrendous ready boost solution they came up with yep no I remember
ready boost yeah let's plug in a USB thumb drive and make it look ahead cash
it'll be awesome uh stupid but for the
record it actually did work decent as long as you spent a million billion dollars on your USB stick I know it
worked but yeah that's exactly it the USB drives were more expensive than just
buying RAM and they had to be really fast ones too that was the thing is I
remember if you plugged in one that wasn't certified you're like screw it do it anyways it would actually slow you
down good times I know people that did it for laptops though it it was mostly
for laptops it really was and honestly a cool feature in windows8 is uh Windows
to go you can actually install it to a usb3 thumb drive boot the entire
operating system and run it right off the USB drive and I think that's actually a cool feature to have yeah
it's a really cool feature it's too bad that all of the instructions for how to do it are so OB as if they don't want
anyone to do it that they don't they don't want you to go into a library they
don't want you going into a library and like booting their computer off your thumb drive and like hacking the
Pentagon so it's yeah the kinds of people who are going to be hacking the Pentagon are going to be able to make
their way through the instructions you might as well just make it easier we wanted to do a video on and
but hey it gives me something to make YouTube videos for the next year apparently cuz like I got all kinds of
things that I can tell people about they don't know so that'll be
fun yeah that that was really infuriating cuz I found out about that
feature I thought it was amazing and I was like we were going to video 100% or
booting vhd that's another thing they don't really advertise but you can in Windows 8 you can actually boot a
virtual you can boot a vhd virtual disc and the benefits of that is now you can
put that virtual disc on anything not even just a USB thumb drive you can literally just transport it
anywhere oh well we'll see we'll see how
Microsoft does without me waiting for Windows
9 don't you mean Windows Barnacles Edition with tears on the box tears I
would definitely get I would buy that somebody please Photoshop that if you're
watching this I want to see a Windows barnic Edition box if you ever did like
a patreon or like a like a like a Kickstarter to like like Jay's
Kickstarter to fund him to CES or whatever else yeah if you're if you have
a reward tier that is a copy of Windows
a reward tier you get a tier yes ouch if you have a reward tier that
is a copy of Windows with with a picture of you crying on the box I'll buy it I
promise deal it'll it'll happen if I ever do anything there will be that
level okay it better not be so expensive that I can't afford it no no it's I I
know you've only got Lambo money you don't have that Bugatti money yet so
I'll keep it down there all right so speaking of employees and not performing
very well these ones didn't get these
ones didn't get sacked um no no no these
these are the ones not performing very well um these guys didn't get sacked but
what they did do was voluntarily give back a part of a bonus
so Samsung employees reportedly gave back 2.9 Million in bonuses to apologize
for poor performance this was posted by dietr W on the Forum and this is
apparently fairly um fairly common
practice in uh in South Korean companies
especially publicly publicly traded ones so to be clear uh this was across a mere
200 managers in the m mobile division so I ran the numbers I kind of went okay so
they gave back about a quarter of the bonuses each if we average out the whole
thing and there are fewer than 200 of them so of their total $60,000 bonus
they gave back about 15,000 so they still took a $45,000 bonus on top of
whatever salaries they're making so they're still like still that's pretty
damn significant to apologize for poor performance and a significant drop in
market share that has resulted in um
only Lely billions of L I like how they still think they deserve the 45,000
though they're like oh we sorry for our poor performance here you can have
15,000 back we still need the
rest yeah so that was that was a little bit confusing to me it's like it's it's
this is we're not talking we're not talking Nintendo where it's like yeah we
are slashing all of the executives pay
voluntarily because we need to do better massive amounts by like massive amounts
we're talking a onetime bonus we're not talking a decrease in salary and we're
talking like a show of Good Good Will good faith like
I'm a super baller here's part of it back here's a few company meals well I'm
not I'm not going to Korea guys because I'm not I'm not giving back my bonuses
I'm sorry if I if I performed poorly and you gave me a bonus then then you suck
company you need like you need to reevaluate what you're
doing yeah that's something I really don't get like I I don't get bonuses at
all around here apparently because my boss is a jerk but if I did get bonuses
he names his company all these stupid names I know he calls his company after
himself that's like who does he think he is like you know what
AEL just saying some other companies have done it and it worked you ever get
a bonus give it back give it back they use their last name for one the Michael
Dell guy how about Michael's a different Michael but they
sell arts and crafts do you like that company do I like that company yeah hey
L is just for fun you should you should actually go and like talk to your whole Med your whole Media Group team or
whatever and be like guys I'm going to give you a $100 bonus but I think you
should get 50% of it
back see what happens I I want to see I want to see if the whole American or
Canadian mentality is the same as the Korean mentality I want to see if
everybody just offers up that all that 50% we should do like new company
signing we should do that as a Channel Super Fun that would be hilarious yeah
where I I award each person a bonus and then tell them that I really knowing you
it's going to be like a percentage of the like Vlog Style just walk up and be
like I would like to record you with this $100 give it to him in like 250s or
something or a couple 20s and be like now how much of that do you want to give
back to the company for your poor performance see what happens that would
be so funny that's terrible I just hope he doesn't get
hurt speaking of terrible and getting hurt um Samsung is taking on beats with
their level head phones I mean it's the it's a pretty
it's a pretty blatant uh case of going
straight after someone else's product because are they trying to level them
well no it's because beats is like a music term and level is like a you know
music term and anyway the point is now
Samsung also has headphones that are expensive um fashionable and according
to the verge and they didn't even put a name on this article it just says by
Verge staff so according to the verge for the most
part well because I think a whole bunch of different people tried it on his stuff for the most part they sound all
right except the iners which are apparently just bad so let's take bets
on which company's going to come out with volume that'll be the next all you
have the level the beats and then volume I mean if someone was honest
about it we'd get a Bas line the base
line of headphones that's taking it to the whole
new to a whole new level level wait no we already that one damn it in base out
base on my wife has a pair of Beats headphones and honestly why why why why
hold on hold on I got I literally they were a $300 pair of headphones and I
bought them off my friend that was pissed off at them for like 20 bucks and
their noise active noise cancelling and that's all I all I like them for you put
them on you flip the little butt in the entire world the spears I don't even plug the Jack into
anything okay well you're using them right so I'll give you that I use it for
on the lawn the best would be if he had like in that he wore and then he put the
those over top like you see Gamers do every once in
a while so he's like yeah I listen to music on these they're like nice iates
or something and then I use the Beats which cost like 20 bucks for noise cancelling that'd be funny you put the
inar monitors on you just put the headphones over the top of them everything you're like yeah check out my
Beats guys you're all listening to something way better
underneath that's doing it right I don't know if that makes it better or worse in
school yet still popular with headphones I'm sorry how to be cool in school but
still use good headphones yeah exactly do you guys remember the headphones that
had the bass transducers in them cuz they couldn't put good enough speakers in them to actually create bass so they
would just shake your head no oh I have
used a gaming headset that has a similar thing where it's like vibrating thing
yeah that vibrating uh did you ever try those yeah they suck I had one I think
it was like the Ben heck 51s or something from some company and I
remember if you cranked them up all the way it would blur your vision like they
shook so hard on your head it it would just seriously screw with your vision
and make your jaw hurt and I was like why is this a thing you know you know
that list that you've gotten me to get of all the different things that I want to try and get us to sample one of the
things is a base enhancing vest oh
that's actually sounds kind of cool that's cool it's it's like a chest piece
thing that you wear and and it like pulses whenever base goes up that sounds
pretty badass actually there's one that electrocutes you and there's one that actually has the audio transducers that
just shake I want the one that electrocutes you that would be the
little muscle contractors like a seizure on the ground while you're trying to list music this ises
you go flip it off your desk and actually head knock yourself out no it's
not it's not like a like a damage vest for games it literally just goes along
with the music now that'd be weird it's like it's like it's supposed
to try and simulate the feeling you get when you're in a concert hall yeah where
like it actually shakes you it's supposed to try and replicate that Weir
I mean I've got an audio transducer on my seat right now that that shakes I
don't have it turned on right now cuz I don't want lonus vibrating my ass you guys understand but uh but I do have and
I do like the sensation of it it makes your I don't know it's weird it you can
feel the base so it kind of tricks you and it feels like you're hearing a
deeper bass it it does the effect works
it's it's believable if you put on a crappy pair of headphones it feels like you can hear deeper bass even though
it's just the vibration it's weird it's hard to explain but it's weird it works
all right speaking of a crappy pair of headphones NVIDIA Shield tablet doesn't
come with headphones at all so the original wor yeah the original poster on
the Forum was share and basically all I can say aside from
that I I do have one so I can't say anything about my experiences with it
this isn't a review but all I can say is what NVIDIA has said publicly so it's
going to have a Tegra K1 processor that's two or that's rather four 2.2 GHz
ARM cortex a15 cores it's got 2 gigs of
RAM it's got a Integra it's got a Kepler GPU with 192 cores this remember guys
this is the same the same technology scaled down as what you'll find in a
Titan which NVIDIA is very fond of telling people does that make it as
powerful as a Titan no does it burn your hands if you play any more than 15
minutes the rocket kit that we have on
the main floor has the same technology but scaled down of a spaceship yeah
that's true so so in much the same way as that but what it does mean is in
terms of API support it is able to do a
lot more than other mobile gaming chips
so in terms of in terms of effects and in terms of taking advantage of work
that in is already doing on the desktop like game works this is stuff that might
not be that significant today because you know the latest games let's say
Battlefield 4 you're not going to run that on this that's that's not happening
but the fact that NVIDIA is moving their desktop technology into this form factor
means a generation or two down the road you might be running Battlefield 4 on
NVIDIA Shield tablet 3 or something like
that because there's no reason that it's
not capable of being ported to it so that that's really cool that's what I
like about that it's got an 8 in 19 1820 X 1200 display it's got front-facing
stereo speakers with dual base reflex ports
it's got a mic it's got a 32 gig configuration that's available with LTE
or a 16 gig Wi-Fi only they sampled the 16 gig version so I won't be commenting
on LTE performance 5 megapixel camera it's got the new direct stylus 2 GPU
accelerated stylus it actually seems to work pretty well so far from just
dinking around with it and of course it supports game stream which is you know
gaming on your PC but on your tablet with now a bigger screen you can stream
to Twitch which is pretty cool natively so you can just like stream playing
Android games to Twitch on your tablet yeah um you can just use the built-in
camera right there go ahead and stream that baby to Twitch and then I think the
big thing here for me is The Shield controller so it it binds using Wi-Fi
Direct which is uh NVIDIA says very very low latency and you play games by
putting this on a stand and then playing the game on the controller that's cool I
like that I'd like to hear actually okay good because I was about to ask you Barnacles
do you have a shield portable I do have a shield I don't have that though oh
wait never mind right here I oh wait no that's an exus 7 never mind wait do no
do you have the handheld no I don't I didn't even know they had that what no
seriously I didn't I have a shield I don't I don't have that that's what he's talking about yeah yeah the original
Shield like no I have the original Shield yeah yeah good okay that's called
Shield portable now they
because tablets are not portable just
calm yourself okay okay so you have a shield portable
um so give me your give me your thoughts having the controller be a separate
piece from the screen does this still
make sense to you no I'd want it to be a separ a
separate part like if I had the option I would absolutely wanted to be a separate
part why because I want to use the damn thing
as a tablet when I want to use a tablet and I don't want a giant ass controller
in the way every time I try to use Twitter or Facebook with my old NVIDIA Shield it's like it's like I'm holding
an entire other object I'm not using and it it drives me nuts it is weird if you
try and use it for anything other than gaming at all movie watching but but I
think that they should be separate but have a way to be put together I think that separate controllers should have
like a dock on it that would be cool it
would be a little bit heavy cuz that was one of the first things things that I
kind of thought about and I was like yeah but would you okay so you have an
xs7 would you want an xs7 mounted to an Xbox 360 controller really well actually
yeah because I did at one point like 3D print a thing that held this on a 360
controller and I thought it was the coolest thing ever but then again not
actually using it anymore so maybe it wasn't the coolest thing
ever well we we did up a ghetto Shield as well and we thought it was the
coolest thing ever but then I don't think either of us ever ended up actually sitting and playing a game on
it so it's one of those things where like you know what a shield is good for
though I found a really cool use for a shield the parrot AR drone the little
quadricopter thing you fly that with the shield and watch in real time while
you're flying it you can like fly it around corners and stuff it's actually really cool yeah that's very
cool I think that's it do we have
anything else for today I think we've already run a little late um I had one
other thing that was in the uh scenix
yeah nah not really they're being Dell now accepts Bitcoin uh square nck is
being buttholes although they're perfectly within the their rights
legally to take down a fan translation for Final Fantasy type type zero still
but holes yeah it's just it's just one of those things where it's like yes they're within their rights yes I
totally get it because they are localizing it for the HD remake but it's
one of those things where it's like Square Enix are you in a position where you need to be making yourself less
popular with your fans there's if you play a game Dev Tycoon there's a point
in the game where you get an option and it's I don't remember exactly what it is
but it's like fans are trying to do something with your game or whatever and
do you throw lawyers at them or do you just let them do it and I don't remember
what the reward is but if you just let them do it you gain a whole bunch of
fans what is with companies like alienating fans like Nintendo seems to
be pretty hardcore about that now with the whole taking down videos on YouTube
and stuff like that Nintendo has they're starting to work with people they are
actually starting to maybe solve that problem but like in in square enix's
side like if they just backed them they
wouldn't even have to do it that much imagine the amount of press that they would have got for support a fan remake
and imagine the amount of like fans and support they would have got for doing
that compared to the other way around
well I think they're just used to having so many fans that will blindly buy the
next game that they don't even need it but that seems to be going away I know I
didn't say they were still in that position if anything I would say they
are they are not no any longer any at this point in time in that position
sentence yeah well that was for empasis but I put it on the wrong salab
sorry about that um yeah know there's nothing else I
really think should be brought up LG's doing good at selling phones and that sucks because they're evil um really
evil LG's evil well their privacy policy
is like not very enlightened like have you ever privacy
what is what is this I've never heard of this privacy thing what we live in
America we don't know what privacy is America America
American yeah fair enough I mean the reality of it is it's not like they're
the only ones doing it with the TV thing they're just the ones that made
headlines but they're doing it in a pretty brutal way I know I know I know
that doesn't change the fact that you're probably going to get an LG phone the reason why I haven't gotten it yet is
because I'm still conflicted oh yeah what what what phone
should I get now guys I'm thinking I'm thinking about selling this one
FU oh my gosh all right so uh I think
the last thing left then is Jerry tell everyone where to find you so that they
can go support you being on your own and being independent strong independent
woman like I'm officially poor people now guys so I need your support and I'm
over at the www.b nerd yeah the barn like where the
cows are nerd.com and that's where I'm
going to be living the rest of my life probably that's where he's going to make
C and C++ videos I'm going to make sharp
and maybe some CN C++ videos and if I'm really going to be masochistic I'll make
some batch file tutorials that would actually really cool I'd be done because
I think you guys would love how to make like little little destructive batch files that delete your Windows directory
and piss you off really really bad I'm just kidding I won't do that I would never do
that all right thanks guys for tuning in to the W show thanks to Our Guest
barnacles for joining us and his little friend down there and I think that
pretty much does it we'll see you again same bat Time same bat Channel next week
peace out bye
everyone dang it there
