salmon and it was a
salmon was it a big salmon I don't know

delicious yeah don't worry about it yeah
okay so we have topics we do oh yeah we
do have topics yeah but like okay here
I'm just I'm going to show this to you guys because this is straight up the
most like the best wow broken no no
that's last week this is like the most broken worthless wow dock that we've
ever had it has literally no actual noes
it just has stuff that happened this week that neither Luke nor I has had any
time to look at because I've been on vacation and he's been covering for me
on vacation and oh apparently ghost is
actually working on it right now trying to fix it yeah ghost
ghost there's no
hope and it like won't matter cuz we suck right now yeah we're like how much
have you slept in the last like 4 days
oh 4 days probably 6
hours cuz it was 2 hours before I came on this trip and then I've had uh
2.3 I'm counting a hot dog as a third of a meal so I've had 2.3 solid meals in
the last uh one of those meal was like
one of the most amazing things I've ever had though yeah but yes but yes but
included raw chicken yes so that was weird that was pretty
bizarre um so I've I've been super sick
and so I haven't rested well either so
yeah we're we're going to like hang with you guys for a bit and this is going to
be the W show this week welcome to the tired show from Japan and we're we have
the fresh books thing sitting there this entire time you know what fresh books is
cool man whatever we have topics we have
top right let's roll the intro yeah all right cool
I don't know if I fixed the audio or not it's like cutting out it's weird is it
yeah kind of bizarre it's a new age thing oh
jeez all right you new to this live live
scene editing no don't do the live scene editing that's stupid I got it I got it
that's not even okay that is one of them frook you didn't do that fresh books
fresh FS squares space squ
face Linda no big deal I did it no big deal
yeah you got this all right guys so um
you don't have oh wait can you open Twitch chat and paste
L paste
links oh we're awful they they're asking
us to get Ed and par on the show in twitch chat
is it's not going to happen it's just it's not going to happen that's all I
can say okay so no we were supposed to
fly out of wherever we are back to Tokyo
at like 600 p.m. at 6:00 p.m. instead
we're trying to reschedule our flight at
the airport in the morning so we have to be at the airport at 6: a.m. so it is
now almost 1:00 a.m. here we have to
wake up at 4: yeah it's going to be
awesome but sweet what we were doing while we were here was actually pretty
cool so for those of you who don't know uh we were sent to Japan by Logitech to
take a look at the Omron Factory so
everyone kind of knows um Cherry right
they make switches that go in keyboards and it's slightly less common I think
for people to know Omron even though they're kind of like the mouse switch
like the the mouse micro switch equivalent to Cherry like if it doesn't
have rron switches in the mouse you might as well not bother
so rron and Logitech partnered up over
the course of 2 and a half years to create the RoR G switches and they're
both so proud of what they've done that they invited us all the way way out here
to actually have a look at one of well
actually both but we only filmed one of them but the production lines for every
single RoR G switch that goes in well
right now the Logitech g910 yeah that's it so uh that's what we did we checked
it out I was amazed at how different the
Japanese approach has been to the German
approach and we'll give you guys more details in the actual video but that's
what we're doing here so I don't think oh here it is for now I guess uh I guess
what I'll do is go ahead and kick off our first topic so this week apparently
the Apple watch reviews landed actually I I did check out some of the reviews on
the Apple watch and I guess the the main summary here um so like some some
headlines uh so Gizmodo says Apple watch
meta review it's not perfect but it's still something something that the
general consensus is is its first gen
and it's got some first gen sort of Ness
about it but you know it's a great start
or it's really cool or I'd love to have one or it's a fashion piece and I kind
of look at this and I go
how okay now to be clear I may end up
eating these words because I haven't got one yet I do plan to get one I do plan
to use it and I do plan to give it a fair Shake because it's not like I just
hate apple or something I really respect a lot of what they do and I really like
a lot of their products but the Apple
watch unless I am somehow a complete
idiot and having a screen on your wrist that isn't on without a motion
activation gesture um is
asinine and seeing reading between the
lines in a lot of these reviews with pretty much everyone across the board
going it's first gen it's first gen
first gen issues there are some first gen things to work
out what that means is don't buy this
yeah do not buy it yeah that's a terrible terrible idea and if you buy it
you're basically dumb because what does first gen mean it means
beta pretty much yeah I mean it's not
every first gen product has first gen issues so when you say
that you're basically saying it's a bad
not finished product and to me it feels
like an awful lot of sucking up is going on right now for the sake of making sure
that you don't get taken off Apple's favored journalist list because that
list does exist yeah we've never been on it so we have absolutely nothing to lose
you will never be on it I think all they all they have to do is watch this stream
dream right now and us ever being on it is a foregone conclusion no I don't even
have anything against Apple we'll just never be able to be on it yeah we're
we're actually we're just not cool enough I think not even just that but
like we're I think we're too objective I don't even think that's it because anch
was on it their objective but then it didn't Anon like end up working there
yes but that relationship came later MH
you know he went from being a p guy to buying a Mac and trying it out and
falling in love with the experience for some reason so that's like that's fine
that's why we're not going to get for some reason so maybe it's not
because we're objective it's because we're
sassy um so the Apple watch reviews the airport there are some there are some
good things that came out of it so some people are talking about how the
functionality is great um how it you know feels really good you the fit and
finish is really nice um having it on the wrist attracted a lot of attention a
lot of compliments um did but I I
continue to have the same issue with any
oh no
but I continue to have the same issue with
um no I'm not going to no I'm not going to miss a beat I'm not going to let you
screw me up I continue have the same issue with screens that are not always
on and battery life that is just barely borderline like the funny thing is uh
One reviewer who gave a fairly overall positive sounding review said something
along the lines of I equate it to my experience with the first iPhone and
that raises a couple of alarm bells for me number one the first iPhone was
revolutionary um but wasn't actually a
great phone by any stretch of the imagination and number two is that if
this is like the first iPhone to you then have you even used another
smartwatch because that was what was amazing about
the first iPhone was how different it was the Apple watch is not
fundamentally different from other SmartWatches um in the way that the
iPhone was different from other phones at the
time so basically dude it's got that like
menu with all the circles I know that's
different well you could say stupid things like that about Android Wear too
no and the associated devices no that's that's no this is different you can like
flip through the pages I don't know of any Android were watch that I can spend
10 grand on that's true different hold
on you could probably find a way like if you dip an Android were watch and gold
and be like it is now 10 guys yeah like if you put enough Swarovski crystals
around it I mean Lord knows I've seen people do that with cell phone cases
so who knows it's probably possible to
bedazzle something with $10,000 worth of
ssky Crystal that needs to be a world
record like is there a world record for the the most bedazzled thing I think I
saw an entire bedroom that was oh no that was like done up yeah is that what
that thing was called the bedazzler yeah I think so I'm going to look it
up bedazzler uh yep yep yep that was it oh
man that thing was amazing
all right let's go ahead and move on to our next uh our next topic here uh the
new Macbook appropriate to get about the
bedazzling but it's all good yeah we're not going to talk about bedazzling
that um this is another thing so isn't
this the same this this is basically exact oh I I just posted it this is
basically exactly the same conversation we just had except to a much greater
degree because I could make the argument that the Apple watch is adjust
justifiable product if you are an Apple iPhone user and you want a smartphone
and you don't want a pebble yeah if all those things then you want a smart watch
Apple watch if that as well if also have
$350 plus than Apple Smartwatch yeah
um with the MacBook I fail to understand
how apple is receiving positive reviews for this thing yeah and I even skimmed
through a few of the reviews and I found things like well a lot of the complaints
about the new Macbook like not having enough ports are similar to complaints
about the original MacBook Air and how it didn't have enough ports so it's good
well actually the original MacBook Air was a slow ass dog with not enough
ports and that never changed yeah it wasn't a great product
yeah it was revolutionary in that it was extremely thin it was the first Ultra
Book like the first really good super ultra thin Ultrabook
machine but it wasn't a great computer
it had a fatal flaw that made people upgrade them pretty darn quickly when's
the last time you saw a gen one
air no and so I've got people I've got
dude when he pulled out of the notebook the not notebook the the the
Manila sleeve yeah that's impressive it
was where is the new Macbook is not enough thinner than an existing MacBook
Air cripples itself and the big argument
that I see supposed professional reviewers making are that it's
fanless it's as if the ux305 doesn't
exist that's what it is right that's the isus one right I don't know there Lenova
ones as well uh familyless one yeah I
saw them at CES blah blah blah blah blah you're on Japanese Google yeah Japanese
Google well I'm google.ca and then do it
no no that's the new one yeah yeah it's as if the ux 305 doesn't exist I mean
it's the same fundamental Hardware idea
where you've got what is essentially a tablet on an extremely small PCB inside
a laptop chassis and then the rest of it filled with battery
and it's fanless because it's extremely
low power and so I see the same thing being done oh it's first
gen but it's good is it first gen or is it good because it
doesn't have any ports um it's not very fast and it's
extremely expensive so you pay the early adopter
tax that's not that's not the kind of
thing that normally gets a glowing recommendation no yeah like I I've done
I'm fairly notorious for early adopter tax on certain things y Oculus and
whatnot but at the same time every single time I've done it I've recommended that people did not do it so
I just this is probably not a good idea don't do this it won't retain value it's
blah blah blah blah blah and you know what I saw I saw a couple reviewers who
managed to say um you know I like it
I've got someone saying stop talking about Apple no one cares actually you're
objectively wrong um so anyway I've I've had some reviewers saying because okay
hold on let's back up for a second the reason we're talking about this is not
because this is ground we haven't covered and not because the Apple watch
or the MacBook the new one uh are
particularly interesting products to me personally but because it's in much the
same way that for all the negativity
that came along with it gamergate was supposed to be about exposing the
problems with gaming journalism here I see a big problem with tech journalism
where you have to really read between the lines to find out what the reviewer
actually thought of the product where they're saying it's good it's first
gen it's
expensive which one is it it's either good and you should buy it or it's first
gen and it's expensive and you probably shouldn't buy it you should probably wait a little while uh so it's to me
it's a big it's a big problem let's go ahead and uh move on to our next topic
though not that I'm giving into pressure um Netflix can now ban VPN
users with updated terms and conditions no you didn't even know this yet did you
no yep no so there you go uh it turns
out that just like other competing services that have gotten more serious
about blocking International users from using the US service so annoying Netflix
is cracking down on it I mean the thing half the stuff on the Canadian Netflix I
know like actually there's way less Canadian Netflix sucks yeah it does but
the reason that Netflix has to do this reason and I know you know I'm not I'm
telling you because you're my co-host not because I think you don't know not
that we shouldn't cover it again I the only reason why I said I know is because we've covered this four or five times I
but it's because Netflix has has to protect their ability to even negotiate
content deals with the IP owners and the thing is even if it's the same movie the
same you go across borders there's different people controlling it that's
right and there's different uh there's different agreements in place like for
example let's say movie X okay maybe in
America it's on Netflix maybe in Canada
it hasn't made it that far down the price chain yet and it's still being
shown on cable TV for
example so that is why they actually
have to enforce it because if they don't enforce it they're going to lose the
content relationships that they have in the territory where they're strong like
the US yeah now for me personally um I see a future where this
digital distribution is just worldwide and everyone can either suck it
or well that's basically the only option
um the thing is but they're going to run into the problem again of uh it's it's
not easy enough so people are just going to start pirating well no that's exactly
it it has to be easy and it has to be Global but the problem is that the easy
solution came along so Netflix to me is kind of like the steam of movies and TV
shows yeah and then all the other guys are going to kind of look at it and
we're seeing this already with services like Hulu all the other guys are going
to look at it and go oh holy crap that's really profitable maybe we should
actually develop that business model and so much like we're seeing with origin
and up play we're going to see fragmentation to the point where instead
of one service like Netflix you're going to just have a Netflix and
a Hulu and a boou and a set Flix and
whatever all the different things end up being called
and once it's actually managed by the
owner of the property then they can wait
for whatever Global deals are in place now to gradually expire and they can
roll it out worldwide because ultimately that's going to earn them more profit anyway yeah and that's the only thing
that's going to motivate any of this is looking at how successful Netflix has
been and how they can cut middlemen out of the equation and that's an excellent
way to do it like how HBO what is it HBO GO or is HBO something else I think it's
now now HBO now sure I think they're two different I think they have both of them
I think they're two different things um but yeah HBO isn't necessarily going to
want to push all their stuff to Netflix so they're going to have their own service super got people calling for sex
flick and boou yeah yeah cuz you said set flick oh I said set
flick whatever I guess it's kind of quiet yeah trying to be quiet! but I'm
ending up getting louder and louder I know I've noticed that I'm like an
embarrassing person to be around you are
much much like Taran bringing water through security two two times yeah both
both times we went through security brought water through yeah that guy is
such a caveman it's just like you put him in
any civilized we were in the terminal to
go to the plane and he got like the the lady that was serving us food to fill up
his bottle with water and I'm like you're going to just forget and then he
just forgot and I was like damn dude you didn't even take a drink from it at all
was completely useless like we were boarding in like half an
hour like what oh man oh I love that guy he's
fantastic dinner tonight was hilarious like there was okay I think
probably the funniest part of it was this is like a a we actually Omron
treated us to about the baller dinner I think you can see behind us this place
is pretty nice yeah this place is incredible we had dinner um here at the
restaurant in the hotel and we had our own Chef who sat in a little room yeah
next to the room where we ate and prepared the food as it was brought out
it was how many courses 11 11 courses
ridiculous we had two dedicated servers
in addition to the dedicated chef and all the food was like crazy y but I I
laughed internally when one of our hosts told me that it was not going to have
any Seafood because the second I lifted the
like they had these paper covers over your over your setting the second I
lifted it up there was a roll with
sushimi wrapped around it just like okay
cuz I don't I don't eat seafood so throughout the course of the meal how
much Seafood was there not a ton but
there was Seafood well there was the pra tempura yeah there was was the sushimi
thing there was the there was more SE there was turtle or something yeah they
wouldn't tell me what it was till I ate it yeah there wasn't much of it I was
kind of sketch about that yeah wasn't a lot of it either uh what else was there
there was there was little bits here and there I would count raw chicken as kind
of more hardcore than okay it's not
technically raw chicken seafood yeah seafood
seafood okay it's not some of the stuff was like amazing though like I really
love these they have these Bizarro not really candles but like those are cool
yeah some kind of fuel that basically
what what they do when you light it the whole thing torches instead of just like
a little Wick and then there's a metal Bowl above it and it's basically like
pre-calibrated so that you get the right stick under it and then the right amount
of water and the right amount of food and once the flame dies the food is
cooked I was like
that's amazing so they had like these soups these broths that your meat would
sit and cook in while you ate other things and then once the flame died you
knew it was ready to eat and so there was the uh the steak was amazing oh my
God the the beef like the tender beef in the in the broth was
amazing um yeah it was it was pretty awesome I lonus was too sketched out to
finish his raw chicken because that is pretty sketchy that was a stroke of
Brilliance I'll let you talk about your Brilliance so we had like the Hot Pot
thing that he's just talking about when there was the the beef and a few other
things in it it was like a small it was 11 freaking courses and there was hot
pot so it wasn't like the most giant hot pot thing ever but um I took Linus's raw
beef which he had ditched on to edel and edel had no raw chicken raw chicken
sorry which he had ditched on to edel and then edel had in turn dished it on
to me and I I cooked it in the hot pot
it's of Genius it was it was a lot
better I was I wasn't into the raw chicken I will admit I The Taste was
fine cuz like the outside the outside was kind of like cooked dish like it was
like ex it was like blue steak I think they like dropped it and then
immediately flipped it in a pan that was on low no no I think it was a little
more than that little more it was it maybe a little more than blue steak
slightly yeah but it was not cooked but it was not cooked like it was not cooked
um and what they said was that at very high-end restaurants in Japan it's okay
to eat there's other there a bug there's
other stuff like that too like the puffer fish orever you like the puffer
fish you like die from if it's cooked improperly
yeah oh wait is that illegal now I'm not
sure I think it might be I don't know but yeah crazy stuff yeah anyway so they
claim that it's okay so I did eat a piece but the texture for me was just
abominable like I could not eat it I just I just
about haed all over all the table and
made a total mess of everything cuz that
texture like I don't eat raw fish either so
yeah um all right let's go ahead and move on to our next topic yeah boom LG
may have accidentally leaked an upcoming 8K iMac what d d d
more
K uh personally um I don't see it as
incredibly unlikely no um 8K would be
what a little over double the pixels of 5K maybe maybe quite a bit more than
that actually whatever I haven't done the math I don't care it's not going to
happen the math is not happening at the moment I'm sure someone will correct Us
in twitch twitch chat will post exactly what it is congratulations for using a
calculator um but anyway I I don't see
why they couldn't do it they already created a custom interface for the 5K
iMac so they've shown that they're willing to do that so just taking that
modified DisplayPort and going even
wider does nothing but add design complexity and product cost something
Apple has shown in the past that they're willing to do because they have an
unlimited R&D budget and they have great
margins so if they spend because a lot of a lot of companies if they spend
another $3 on it it like breaks their
margins on that product whereas Apple if they spend another $3 on it they'll
charge you another hundred and everything's fine everyone's
happy so um true Apple has confirmed
nothing about this but I I guess that's
cool I'm personally not that super
stoked on highres displays past a point
I think that moving to 4K is probably
about as far as I'll need to go at any
size lower than about 32 in for I hear
you and I know your arguments all but you haven't seen an 8K screen I haven't
seen an 8K screen but what I have seen
is a 5K screen from this close what I've
also seen is the evolution of 1080p smartphones to 1440p smartphones and how
little that mattered I know I'm just saying so while it could be marginally better
looking at how one thing that Apple did extremely poorly on the 5K iMac is they
equipped it with a GPU that's just plain not adequate um and I even ordered the
beefier version with the R9 295x the 8 gig card versus the r9290 and
these are mobile these are m m cards uh with 4 gigs of RAM and that thing
stuttered all over the place so I I I
don't know what GPU they would put in an 8K iMac that would fit within the
thermal envelope unless they're going back to
NVIDIA and they do that from time to time yeah they they do just they can
swap that's fine they just do whatever they
please I don't know got people asking for 1080
K what what I guess we should probably
do uh sponsor spots yeah so so uh yeah
the W show today is brought to you by linda.com linda.com is the place to
learn online it's used by millions of people around the world with more than
3,000 courses available you can learn things like web design or Excel yeah or
video production or WordPress I should
probably take some Linda courses on video production then when those guys
talk it won't all just be completely over my head you know probably still
will be because I think they do it on purpose sometimes so that you'll just like go away I'm pretty sure cuz I'll
I'll ask about something or I'll say something and well I've caught them
doing it to you before because one of them was trying to make you think that
it took like hours and hours to Tween something in Flash and I was like no it
doesn't I remember that that was a long time ago but yeah those buttheads anyway
um so photography visual design business all kinds of stuff like that and all the
courses are taught by industry experts you can learn at your own pace and it's
extremely affordable at only 25 bucks a month to start but if you're not sure if
linda.com is right for you to advance your career or you know make new friends
when you talk about cameras with people online okay that's a pretty unlikely
scenario the point is if you're not sure if you're going to like it you can try
it out for free at uh whatever the link
Isom you don't have the it's not on the thing I don't I don't change scenes very
well linda.com I'm really bad at changing
scenes right there yes you are he was telling me that apparently while I was
gone he straight up just didn't show you
guys the Articles super long periods of time actually no I'm tired that actually
made a help M ma help apparently it did not I said ma help so it's not doing
we're not doing good ma help just next
up squar space you can make a website even if you're super tired and can
barely talk and say MAA because Squarespace is that easy because you can
apparently use Squarespace yeah yay it's simple powerful and beautiful they have
24/7 support via live chat and they have templates that allow you to make sure
that your website's going to work on a mobile phone on a laptop on a desktop or
I mean probably even on like a Jumbotron
even like an 8K iMac you know what we should do just to be like complete
buttheads is we should like take go to a
baseball game and like pay them to put limus communia group's website on the
Jumbotron yeah or or something like we should find a way to find some
completely stupid display and put our put our corporate website on it and see
if it scales okay that'd be wonderful we should try it I'm I'm actually I'm I'm
kind of I'm kind of tempted to do that that would be pretty fun anyways it's
only $8 a month and if you get a year of it you get a free domain which is pretty
cool which is like a sort of $13 value or so yep so if you go to
squarespace.com and use offer code Linus you can save 10% so you can get a free
domain and save 10% and get a your square space you know what we should
totally do is we should turn offer codes
into like a popularity contest so they should use like offer code lonus if they
if they if they like me better and they should use offer code Luke we should
actually have two offer codes wow that would be I'd be I would be really
interested if we could get some stats from like Squarespace if they were like
yeah 30% of the people signed up with
and 70% of them went with Luke or we should have like a we should have like I
like LMG in general but I hate both Luke and lonus we should have like a third
option that would be wonderful because knowing like knowing our guys they'd all
pick that one squarespace.com and then and then there'd have to be one
more that was just squarespace.com bananas so we can get like most of the
votes anyways um right so last one is
fresh books this is actually a relatively new sponsor for us in general
we've had them on fast as possible but I
think we've only had them on the W show once so basically it's a tool for small
business owners um if you say for example you're like a an online tool
yeah an online tool accessible in many places so not a hammer necessarily
unless you had an online Hammer
yeah like a band hammer or unless you saved money using fresh books cuz you're
able to properly invoice people and get that and track that invoice and then you
able to buy a hammer with the time you saved or money you made money you made
okay anyway the point is if you're a small business owner like let's say for
example you're a plumber um you can use their you can use your phone to go ahead
and do things like uh log miles and log hours so you can send out invoices
easily to your clients it's all easily payable by credit card for your clients
so it makes life a little bit easier for them and let me tell you as a small
business owner half of the battle getting a client to pay is making it
easy for them like if you want to do the
you know wire transfer check dance to
you know save $6 in Bank fees here or 20 bucks in transfer fees there or you know
in the case of my wife you know a buck 25 for a check here yeah we all have to
drive to deposit our checks it cost more than that I think we've all collectively
offered to like have it deducted from our paychecks I think legally we can't
do that y live with it anyway the the point is if you if you
check out freshbooks.com slw show you
guys can try it out it's extremely affordable and it helps you manage both
your time and your business better so
give it a shot and uh save your money and buy a hammer save your money save
your time and all of that good stuff and buy a hammer buy a hammer yeah are we
allowed to just say buy a hammer with the money you saved yeah I guess so we
can give advice it doesn't have to be good advice hammers are legitimately
useful tools I wonder how how many let's do a straw pole how many of you own a
hammer how many hammers do you own oh not how many of you own a hammer yeah
wow I want to know how many I'm I'm going to answer the straw but I'm going
to wait till people answer how many do you own um I will have to think because
it depends on how you classify it is a sledgehammer a hammer yeah okay is a
rubber mallet a hammer m
is a mallet a subsection of
hammer well um I'm pretty sure that's defined I just don't know off the top of
my head a meat tenderizer I think would be a mallet but not a hammer okay so
then no so then no okay is a hatchet a
hammer cuz you can use the back of it because you can use it as a hammer uh I
don't think so but it doesn't remove Nails in the way that a hammer would I
could use like my foot as a hammer but my foot is not a hammer you can't use
your foot as a hammer that's you could no you could that's stupid I have I've
used my palm as a
hammer there's a door in my place and the the door knob is so loose that the
uh not bolt but the other thing that I
can't think of right now cuz I'm tired will slide out and I have to get it back
in so that I can actually close the door so I just hammer it with my bomb
so we should probably talk about like wo topics right yeah wo
well I I thought I think int confirm Skylight launch oh yeah that's pretty
important I think we knew this wasn't going to be a very
good sleep deprived in the middle of
nowhere this sounds like a horrible Teen Movie sleep depress arrived and in the
middle of nowhere they decide to go off the trail into the cabin in the
woods and there's a COI Pond and it's quite wonderful
actually but there's a murderer and they get picked off one by
one yeah and like there's a chick with
boobs probably and for some reason she's in the shower when every time someone
attacks and then when she's running away she could have actually totally gotten
away but she tripped right yeah yeah
which gave a really good opportunity for like a slowmo of her
tripping you know what would be like a really
cool like uh you couldn't do it with a movie like pre something pre-recorded
but like a really cool like interactive
storytelling concept whether it was done
with um with live actors or whether it was done with like episodic gameplay
okay is like uh what so the concept
would be that the audience cuz you know how you always regret
not being able to give advice to the actors please don't please don't open
that door you know please don't come out of the safe room you're in the you're in
the safe room don't come out of the safe room just stay in there what are they
going to do to you in the safe room that they can't do to you when you come out of the safe room it was obvious right so
what if there was like a concept where you could actually like everyone in the
audience had like a tablet or something so it's like Twitch Plays Pokémon but
with actors yeah so so you could actually dictate the terms of the story
and they could have some preset branches but it could actually play out a little
bit different every night so it's like Twitch Plays Pokemon but with actors or
like Dungeons and Dragons but not with Dragons it's kind of like Choose Your
Own Adventure yeah so you know what the decision is but you actually don't know
what's going to happen until until it happens so I think that would be a lot
of fun like as a as a play concept and then again as like as like an episodic
gaming concept so the developer might not this tell
games multiplayer Edition hold on a second this could be cool so the game
developer wouldn't necessarily just develop One path but they could justify
the expense of developing multiple paths
by making it a microtransaction for you to try paths that you didn't
choose that is a business model why did you just give people that idea cuz it's
really good I don't know it's horrible that's a really good idea it's really
expensive and a lot of microtransaction you don't have to pay every path uh yeah
but then they're going to make you pay for any path and it's going to be
ridiculous no you buy the game or okay you make it free to play and you can
play One path for free i' play the game once and I do it
my way I mean it couldn't be quite like Choose Your Own Adventure because I
don't know if you read many of those but basically there was only one right path
usually and then like every other path was like instant your head got cut off
and alligators ate you like it was just St you go left or right right you trip
you die yeah pretty much whereas like I
would you you should have a guaranteed number of of of decisions so you should
be guaranteed a certain number of forks and then I mean obviously they can't
develop you know 350,000 Forks so if
there was something extremely unpopular they could just go generating tool yeah
like this didn't work you know not enough people chose this can you pick
another one or whatever else the case may be but I think that would be really cool and remember this is something that
wouldn't have to happen over the course of a normal sort of game time frame it
would be more like an episodic thing so it could actually happen over the course
of a couple of years or a few years much
like a like a TV show might take a long time for the story to develop so Gamers
could actually play their way way through the Story in real time and then
maybe at the very end or something you have the option to you know buy an
additional playthrough and you can play it completely differently or something like that yeah that's interesting uh
rumor XFX r9390 pictures I'm just going to randomly see the titles of things and
then we can go back to going on tangents um right I guess I kind ofet are you
completely ditching the live actor idea
then and just going with video game no I I like the actor idea better it just
seems a little bit harder to execute and a little bit less likely get there's
really good improv actors like really really good improv actors and you could
just throw curve balls at I'm has anyone done this before it seems like the kind
of thing that feel like it's an improv
thing but it probably not to the same degree right what you're talking about
like they'd have to have you know in universities where there's that like oh
well you have to input your answer to the question that's all and you use the
little white clicker um it would basically be like that yeah so there
would be options so the actors would have some idea what's coming but you
know what the the director or the writer or they could shake it up a bit if
they're if they're proper improv actors they're going to be able to react really
well in the situ but the thing about straight improv is that it doesn't have
the production values no of a proper Play No whereas what I kind of Envision
is a proper play where you dictate how
it goes wow okay I think that'd be really cool
like imagine like a murder mystery type play like they already do murder mystery
type stuff where like the audience has some interaction but imagine one where
like the murderer can kill everyone and get away with it because the audience
chose all the wrong things for the actors to stay in the safe room and then he just like closes off the air or
something like that right yeah like that'd be really cool yeah I think
that'd be really fun to watch it's interesting um so this is like super rumor because wccf Tech has actually
updated the Aral in a very
very deceptive way so they didn't
actually manage to change their headline uh all they did was add a note
in the body of the uh of the article so
you have to actually read it in order to know that that's an r9380 which actually
says absolutely nothing about new GPU
development um for AMD graphics cards because the rumor on the street right
now is that the r9380 is just an r92
which means this is just a rebadged r9290 so the R&D that went into it was
probably an updated BIOS and a new sticker design
so yeah yeah that's about it I don't
know so oh oh right Sky Lake yep um oh
we got to we got to close this off pretty soon because we really need to
sleep at least a couple hours toight we have eight minutes we have eight minutes
all right well then uh let's talk let's talk LC restarted that was pretty
interesting LHC large hyr oh yeah uh so
the for the first time in two years the large hron collider has been fired up
there was a Windows update yep no no collisions but things are moving so
that's cool there wasn't a Windows update there wasn't a Windows update what are you talking about two years oh
you're rude um Intel confirms Skylake
launch it's coming in the second half of this year so that means we're not going
to get it at comput which is a little bit un for I I was
kind of hoping for Skylake at computex I mean the thing that you guys need to
know about Skylake though is that it's not going to be like um a you know
benchmark Crusher like you know something like conro was for example
it's going to be an incremental Improvement um it's not ddr4 on the
mainstream yet so it's going to use DDR3 and DDR3 L it's going to have uh 20 PCIe
gen 3 Lanes just like the existing
Haswell e it's going to have usb3 uh one
thing that I do expect to see with Skylake is support for PCI Express based
ssds so NVMe right now there are very few motherboards that support Intel 750
series SSD that was launched recently we actually have a video coming on it
there's very few that support the 2 and 1 half inch one the 2 and 1 half inch one the PCIe one that plugs into a PCIe
slot is fine very widely supported
um so I guess that's uh
about all there is to say about that we really appreciate you guys tuning in at
this totally unusual time for the W show we were planning to stream the W show at
the normal time but we had an opportunity to take an earlier flight
back to Tokyo so we could hang out in Tokyo for the day instead of just seeing
the airport so we that sounded like a really
good idea kind of figured we'd go to Tokyo for the day yeah since we flew all
the way here yeah so I think that's pretty much it guys I'm going to go to
sleep for two hours yeah I'm gonna go hit the can because I still got a mad
case of the Traveler's uh oh dang stomach thing going on oh jeez and like
eating things that make me feel kind of
gross doesn't help no no not not helpful
I'm probably going to hit my head on a few things and then fall over oh my gosh
it's hilarious his 6' threeness is so
out of place here like like the the I
have taller I have a few taller friends that would just be ruined here in the
doorways in our rooms here which are awesome by the way they're incredible in
the doorways of our room like it's probably like to hear like he's like
this to get through I yeah I was crouching down picking something up and
I like stood up and turned and whacked my head on one and it hurts so bad I've
hit my head quite a few times when we've been here but that one was that one hurt
Taran had a pretty good one too yes yes he crumpled a little bit yeah all right
good night you guys and uh we'll see you again then uh next week we have to we
have to wait for it hold up this is going to be a little janky but I almost
always do that too yeah that's
cool oh I never checked out the straw pole
results wow hamers yeah 40 43% of our
audience owns four or more hammers I don't know if I believe that but what I
do believe in is Linda uh
