1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:06,960
here i was all prepared to read my curated list of sloth facts

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:12,800
but apparently you just want tech news fine oh james

3
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:16,960
yesterday the eighth annual game awards were hosted once again by industry hype

4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:21,600
man jeff kate it looks like nightly

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:26,000
but it's not and honestly jeff it was pretty hype nice job the

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:31,119
narrative driven co-op platformer it takes two one game of the year despite

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:36,719
its director josef ferez misbehaving himself on stage in 2017 kind of like

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:40,480
kanye or maybe because of it death loop took home awards for game and art

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:46,079
direction keenub bridge of spirits was the overall winner in the indie category

10
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:48,160
final fantasy was this 14 online was

11
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:52,079
recognized for ongoing content development which is very important i

12
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:57,680
think that's a good category and natus vincere an esports team not a game won

13
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:03,039
best esports team not best game after racking up multiple cs go trophies

14
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,680
during 2021 but holy crap baby we got

15
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:09,680
trailers too star wars eclipse looks like it took inspiration from dune

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,680
because dune is the lens through which i interpret the world now but we're also

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:19,360
getting a new dune strategy game sanui saga hellblade 2 looks sick the halo tv

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,360
series looks like halo and sonic the hedgehog 2 is a movie

19
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:27,680
about a video game so i guess we got that in there too if it's about video

20
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:31,600
games we got a baby we got it jeff's gotcha you might be seeing more options

21
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,600
from hardware manufacturer nzxt over the next few years as the company has

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:40,400
recently gotten a 100 million dollar investment from san francisco nope from

23
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:45,200
francisco partners they may be in san francisco

24
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:50,000
is it francesco no okay it's not the firm behind rice-a-roni

25
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,240
instead their leadership includes founders of twitch hypebeast and

26
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:58,320
crunchyroll the goal is for nzxt to expand their hardware offerings further

27
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:01,360
than they already have once known mostly for cases cooling and power supplies

28
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,759
they've already started selling motherboards and full gaming pcs it's

29
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,759
unclear exactly what new products we'll see but more competition in the diy pc

30
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:14,239
space is always a good thing that's why we need more products

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,200
that we can't buy we can buy these ones they're good people don't worry you can

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,480
buy these they're going to be purple speaking of components have you been in the market for a new motherboard son

33
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:28,640
you might be in for some sticker shock as there have been recent price hikes specifically for

34
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,720
the new Intel z690 based motherboards that support alder lake cpus

35
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,239
the issue isn't just the global chip shortage it's the fact that these

36
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:40,879
motherboards support both ddr5 memory and pci express 5.0 the additional speed

37
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:45,599
of these interfaces require better and more expensive materials to maintain

38
00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:49,280
signal integrity plus the new lga 1700 socket is reportedly four times as

39
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,840
expensive than its predecessor combined with the fact z690 boards also require

40
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,599
more power phases there's a lot pushing up the cost of a board and considering

41
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:03,040
how expensive graphics cards already are the price hikes are very ill-timed life

42
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,239
is just not very great right now what do you think i made of work from home money

43
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:10,959
what do you think i saved all my money from traveling and want to buy a p a

44
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:12,239
motherboard without i i do

45
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:16,239

52
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,040
pull tab to take them off and on with ease like i just did vegan suede lace

53
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:47,840
cages extra midsole cushioning and the same waterproof dimentex technology

54
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:53,360

55
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:57,120
with our code TechLinked vesti.com TechLinked quick quick bits they will

56
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:01,040
strike if you let your guard down so stay strapped

57
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:03,760
smart tvs are often prone to slow downs but tcl's lineup of google tvs have

58
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:09,200
gotten so bad performance wise that they've stopped selling them the good news is

59
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:13,200
that tcl is promising significant improvements by a software update i've

60
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,799
heard that before tv brands and the affected tvs should be back on shelves

61
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:20,320
within a few weeks thank you goodness i can watch them in the best buy they'll

62
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,440
actually update them because it behooves them too it makes them money they have

63
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:30,800
hooves pubg is following the lead of other battle royale games and converting over

64
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,000
to a free-to-play model baby

65
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,000
this is mostly going to benefit more casual gamers as if you want to play

66
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:39,840
ranked mode and really test your metal you've still got to shell out 13 whole

67
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:45,040
dollars you asked that's like 20. canadian still

68
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,639
it's better than the 30 retail price and the devs might still make money since

69
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,720
free to play could get more users into the uk system

70
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:57,040
did i just say yuka system i like those better does halo infinite have battle

71
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:01,120
royale not yet they will an interesting side note on the epic versus apple court

72
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:05,600
battle is the revelation that microsoft actually tried to put xbox games in the

73
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:09,600
iOS app store if you're confused about the difference between xbox game pass on

74
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:14,560
xbox versus pc microsoft is trying to clear that up for you as a service on

75
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,479
Windows will now just be known as pc

76
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:20,960
gamepad wait who makes it can i still play xbox games the two services feature

77
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:26,080
different game lineups so renaming one of them makes sense but maybe they

78
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:27,199
should also replace the xbox logo pc pc

79
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:32,560
box what are they going to do who's it's like the brand is pc

80
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,400
who makes it valve pck

81
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:42,320
all pc games and there's a new entrant in lg's object collection this time it's

82
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:45,680
one of their OLED evo tvs meaning it's

83
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,199
that plus a new motorized canvas cover

84
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:51,360
that you can move up and down to cover your tv when you're not watching it with

85
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:55,440
the idea being to invoke an art piece but you'll have to pay for that

86
00:05:53,039 --> 00:05:58,800
privilege of no longer being able to uh you know being embarrassed by your

87
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:03,360
powered off tv i guess since it'll run you over eight thousand dollars no don't

88
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,479
look over there the tv's off i swear it can play stuff i don't have a tv in here

89
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:11,680
what do you mean that's just art and we're pulling the cover down on this episode so come back

90
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,080
next week when there's gonna be more news and more people yelling at you are

91
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,680
you sure if you die and then i come down but i fall down the

92
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:21,840
stairs on my way to hosting it then i die
