all right I just need to make sure that we're actually
live and we are okay so we have a great
show for you guys this week as you can see small lonus is not here but large
Linus is here so with large Lin is here
we thought we' just go ahead with the show I know the framing is a little weird and stuff but we thought we'd try
it out and see what you guys think so as you guys know this is Jerry Berg or
Barnacles and we have him on the show this week uh where can people find you
how can people see your stuff the easiest way to see my stuff would be
just to go to Barn nerd.com you know the barn like where they keep the cows and
the Nerds like where they keep the well the nerd.com that's where I'm at perfect
so you guys can see him there and for the show this week we have a few
different topics I'm actually going to let you start them off this
time really beautiful for real oh my
gosh oh my gosh I do I really have to
start with fractal Josh is awesome though do I really yes you do well no we
got to go through the call outs again oh the call outs do the calls then we're gonna do fractal Jos all right so I get
to start the call outs this time yep yay all right guys we got a mass Exodus of
Xbox exclusives yeah I care about that a whole lot okay uh GameStop fingerprints
customers actually that's that's sucks all right kind of sketchy as hell but
and then FX is being disabled when there's a second GPU in the system which
is not NVIDIA that later and the most important
news of the week at all definitely is that Yoshi's full name has been revealed
so we will talk about that later as well let's do the
intro all right so our first sponsor of this week is linda.com you can sign up
with linda.com Wow for a free 7-Day trial they have thousands and tons of

shirt today and if you sign up you get a
well we're giving doing a giveaway actually where if you like this picture
which I'll drop in the chat here in one second um that second is going to be
delayed I'll drop the chat in there in like 30 seconds if you follow 54 on
Twitter and if you comment with hash Linus style tips we will announce a
winner on Monday on 54s page for who
wins a free month of 54 I believe it is about $120 worth of clothing each month
for 60 bucks and if you sign up right now you get $15 off your first month
with offer code lonus again I'll be dropping that uh Instagram picture link
in the chat in a second now our first
topic which you already spoiled slightly
is that fractal Josh is freaking amazing so I want to show this but my HDMI setup
is not really working great spoiler alert nothing really got that much
better when lus left um let's see here let's see if this
actually works because fractal Josh made
probably the greatest shirt that exists in the entire universe and he's going to
be sending me one which I'm pretty stoked about um but he's going to
sending it to my personal address so that when lonus sees it he doesn't burn it because that's a legitimate worry for
this so let's see if this actually totally breaks oh it did too I don't
even know if this is plugged in oh that
sucks I'll bring it up over here give me one
second oh my God I can't wait I can't
wait come on it's going to take a second oh come on
God now guys I can see it you guys can't see so I'm I'm just saying privy privy
to certain knowledge here apparently so that is the shirt as you can see it's
kind of small but as you can see there's fractal Josh in the middle fist bumping
me and throwing a pie in Linus's face
just great I love this shirt and like I said he's going to be sending me one so
it will be featured on a w show sometime in the future thank you Josh for making
such a beautiful artistic creation
and we hope to see more in the future and it even looks authentic that's
what's so beautiful it does it actually took me a second he sent me the Tweet
saying like oh do you like the shirt and I was like yeah man you got one of our
shirts that's cool I was like wait there's a third guy in the middle what's
going on here that's the problem with going with those eight bit Graphics they're they're easy to replicate they
are give me a second I'm trying to figure out it was just working come on
HDMI cable usually when lonus is gone
everything works so I have a feeling that he sabotaged something have you
ever seen one of my streams this is this is part for the course like me just
being here probably just screwed up everything okay so that's not working at
all so I'm going to have to I can't do some ring we'll figure this out so first
thing we have is the USB bug thing now
this is interesting and I'm happy that they actually happy that they actually
properly like researched it and stuff but it's not really anything new we've
known this for a really long time so what I'm talking about is two Berlin
researchers named AR NL and Jacob L I
hope I didn't totally butcher that U but they have demonstrated how any USB
device could be used to infect a computer by faking the device type it is
so telling it it's something else or having little partitions on there that
you can't properly format and just infecting computers all over the place
again it's a fairly interesting study but like I've known this since I was in
like grade 10 maybe even before that
yeah don't plug unknown stuff into your computer I mean come on it's it's a very
well-known thing like anyone who's been around for a while probably knows what
hacks are switchblade the USB hacks that people can get that just totally wreck
you um look at that that's you 3D
printed that right yeah and and this one right here is a hack and this one no I'm
just kidding I don't I I don't do that guys I'm Legit come on I don't know if I
believe you I don't want hacks St people I have a little red painted USB drive
that is like a don't plug this into your computer USB drive you know what I like
is all the people that been have you seen the people take the Matchbox cars and Hollow them out and put the USB
dongle in there so it's just it's like a full-blown Matchbox card with just the USB port sticking back it's it's pretty
cool I'm going to try doing that some point that's actually pretty cool so don't plug delicious crap into your
computer guys just don't yeah seriously um what what you can do to help this is
get the USB umbrella kind of thing I'm hoping to get a sample from these guys
to actually try it out myself but essentially what they've done is made a
USB pass through plug that just cuts off all the data Lanes on the USB so it
still lets power flow but it just doesn't have the runs for data so it
can't actually transfer any data they're usually unless they're trying to give
you data off a USB device if someone trying to plug their phone or something into your computer they should only be
getting power anyways yeah actually
that's an interesting invention actually yeah it is and it makes sense I'm
actually kind of surprised that no one thought about it beforehand because we've done this type of stuff in other
applications yeah and you can see it when like people get like the like
slightly cheaper DVI cables as well like certain runs aren't there it's like this
is a thing so someone actually decided to do with with USB so it's kind of cool
you can use it yourself if you want to plug something of yours into someone
else's say you want to charge your phone in someone else's computer and you don't want to grab an infection from their
computer to your phone you can use it in that way or you can use it defensively
so if someone wants to plug something into your phone or your computer even if
you trust them they might have a virus from someone else on their pH that's
true so just maybe I don't know I'm going to try and pick up some of these
USB umbrella things and try them out in the future I love that kind of stuff and
you know what's going to piss you off though like when you keep forgetting to unplug it and then you plug something in
the back of it you're like why isn't it f in my device why working it's
ridiculous it's fairly large like it's not the smallest thing ever I think they
could have made it smaller I'm not sure though it is like version one or
whatever so I think you'd probably know and like knowing me I'd probably just
get like six and put them all over the place and like keep one in my backpack
and like keep one in but with whatever laptop I have at the time and all that kind of stuff I don't know that's cool
so that's a fairly interesting thing but then we jump
to something kind of horrible in my opinion which is the GameStop
fingerprinting thing did you have time to read this I I didn't read through it
but I think the title pretty much explains that this is ridiculous I mean
I'm guessing when you purchase things they're basically storing your fingerprint like a banquet if you're
cashing a check luckily it's not just purchasing things what they're what
they're actually doing is when you're selling things cuz the their idea they
did this voluntarily they were not forced to do this apparently the law
enforcement agency asked them to but the
Philadelphia where it is being done is in Philadelphia city not the suburbs
around it but just in the city the Philadelphia city solicitor Shelby Smith
saids specifically what GameStop does doesn't meet any of the elements of the
definition in the code for like pawn shops um so the pawn breaker ordinance
doesn't apply to GameStop she said essentially GameStop is not required to
collect the thumbprints uh to abide by the city's pawn broker law so they do
have a law where if you're a pawn shop you're supposed to take people's
fingerprints when they sell stuff to you so that they can the idea behind this is
so that if you sell them stolen goods you're right they can find you that kind
of maybe make sense personally I'm still not a huge fan because of invasion of
privacy and whatnot uh maybe find some other way to find them like take their
ID down or something like that like ID them to make sure it's the same person
and then take their ID down I don't think you need to fingerprint everyone that freaking sells you something beses
whatever whose fingerprints are in the system I mean yeah okay if you're
already a past criminal but if it's your first offense yeah good luck finding them that's part of the idea the
Philadelphia Police Department um says that GameStop is being proactive by
obtaining the fingerprints and uploading them to a database known as leads online
which they are then compared against criminal databases that makes yeah
you're not being put into a criminal database uh so the idea is later on down
the road when you commit a crime then all of a sudden they come in they go yeah you were jaywalking but you also
sold like 40 games to GameStop that you didn't own so I'm sorry your sentence is
now life yeah I don't know it's kind
fastic I'm not a huge fan but I just everything lately just seems like
horrible horrible news and all the tin Hatters that everyone used to laugh at
are now like in public view so
everything that comes out like this just scares me so well I remember banks used
to do that like where you'd go in if you had a large check you had to do the fingerprint I hated that stuff yeah had
to rub it off and it would like turn to like uh like little crusty stuff and get
all over your clothing everything I was like no I don't want to do this yeah um
GameStop has quoted that at this time reviewing the process to determine if it
is one which should be continued in Philadelphia and they're not doing it
anywhere outside of just like the downtown Philadelphia core so hope they
just stop what if you're like under 18 though or something like that can they
legally even fingerprint you at that point or I don't know because that's
like American that's American law not Canadian law but there's is that a thing
cuz I know here they they do like we're going on a field trip to the police
station and then they they uh fingerprint you when you're kids
actually they do that down here too yeah that's so bull crap I just know we have
weird laws down here like I know you're not allowed like you're not allowed to the city Camp photograph children like
in Washington state they put up all these like radar traps to take pictures of your car and like people were
fighting back under the pretense that you're taking pictures of our children like sitting in the passenger seat or
something they actually won so they're like apparently you can't take pictures
of people's kids like it it's weird we have weird laws man I'm moving to
Canada that's nuts give me one second people are saying that I'm quiet for
some reason I'm not sure why especially when
everyone in the uh test stream said it
was totally fine but we will see give me
one quick sec is it multiple people complaining well it's twitch chat
spamming so it could be one person it could be 30 people it could be a whole
bunch of people just spamming for fun I'm not even really sure but that might
fix it so we will have to see we'll wait
for twitch chat to be able to catch up um yeah I un at the stream you are a
little quiet but it's not horrible well the mic's a lot closer now
and in my own monitoring I can tell that I'm a fair amount louder now so we'll
have to see hopefully that works just fine
sweet okay so next up is twitch.tv changes which has had everyone kind of
freaking out lately but they've been reeling back like this whole time
they're obviously an extremely agile company um so they've implemented a few
things their automatic system muting uh video on demand videos for having
copyright audio um is is doing that but now
there's an appeal button so you can press the appeal button to try to get
your video unmuted which is interesting that appeal button wasn't there right
off the start um the maximum time limit
on Highlights has now been removed but you can't have just everything that
you've recorded forever always saved which is interesting because if someone
just goes like highlight entire video I wonder if that's possible POS yeah what
about people that have so much stuff already recorded and uploaded that's going to affect them pretty adversely
probably and because I I do know for a fact that people go back and watch
different episodes I know that my like 24-hour charity stream actually got a
lot of uh VOD views yep so I don't know
it's going to be interesting I'm going to try to highlight out most of the cool parts of the 24-hour stream
um yeah I don't know this is what this
is what happens when Google and Google buys YouTube and then buys twitch
is is we're going to see lots of really costome changes like I bet you every day
we log into twitch now there's going to be like new buttons we've never seen before and the
layout one you Ty oh my god dude you see
it's coming mark my words it's coming oh my God ridiculous so the uh twitch CEO
EMT Shear had a Reddit AMA where he said a whole bunch of stuff but essentially
one of the big things in my opinion is that he said we did need to change
things this is laying groundwork for some work in the future you are really
going to like we've been intending to do this for some time but it took us a
while to identify and select a Content identification partner to get this
system up and reliable so the whole thing of like things you guys are really
going to like I have a weird theory that I don't I haven't yet seen anyone else
say it but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else said it let's hear this Theory I'm I'm wondering if they're
going to have their own music streaming like approved music streaming thing like
these are the amount of songs that you're allowed to play and what songs they are and you can play them using our
tool well they kind of did the same thing for YouTube didn't they like YouTube had an audio library pop up that
was like openly available to everybody I think so but then twitch is YouTube is
used for music but directly from a lot of the music's Publishers whether it's
like Vivo or the artists themselves or
the like record label or whatever uh YouTube is done widely for that but
twitch is done in the background while someone is playing something so I'm
wonder if they're going to try and contact different record labels and stuff and see if they can get approved
music they they might do that they might even do like some kind of uh ad based
thing too where if they detect music on your thing they'll just run ads for that
you know that could be benef I'd rather that because I make no freaking ad Revenue off my twitch Channel anyways so
just let me play music and take all the revenue that's fine I don't care yeah
because if somebody's listening the song they're going to be the most likely to to give you an impression I mean they're
gonna be like oh man it's a cool song I'm going to click that link it'd be beneficial to them they should do that
it makes way more sense but then again we're smart people I
don't I don't know about them Google guys sometimes with their whole just throwing their money around trying to
make Google+ win I I I don't get it the whole goog plus win thing I don't really
understand but I don't think I'm going to throw Google under the bus because I think like half the wit of someone's dog
that works at Google is probably higher than me I'm I'm actually just playing
around Google if I went back to the it field Google would be the first company
I went and actually worked for that would be Beast man they're they're
pretty they're pretty stand up I've actually talked to a lot of people at Google they're they're pretty cool yeah
they just with YouTube stop it okay
sorry I had to get that rant out of the way I kind of agree so it's no big deal
uh another thing that he talked about is how there's there's a lot of agreements
for different game companies so they won't try to get you in trouble if you're playing games on Twitch but those
agreements don't exist for music so people that are like oh it's our right
to do this it's I also heard a rumor I don't know
if you know is this true that you can still play the music on your stream
it'll just be muted in the recording or is it muted immediately when I think
that's how it works but I I think that's not supposed to be the idea like I think
you're supposed to stop I just don't think they're muting live streams I
think you might be able to get in trouble now I'm not really sure and if
it's not like that already I'm sure they're going to move in that direction I saw some funny streams the other day
when I was looking around on there though with like titles like playing copyright music all day all night like
and and that's that's how I found out about this was was originally all these people just kind of you know spiting him
so I was like right I don't it's not it's not twitch's fault though it's not
they're they're getting legal hammer is thrown onto their heads and they're just
reacting because of it that's not surprising they're going to have to
react in some way just allowing everyone
of their mom to broadcast music for free
yeah well that's the problem is when you're when you're a small company you
can take the liability right I mean chances are they're not going to sue you unless they can make you know a massive
amount of money but look who owns them now right yeah I mean there's big
Pockets now behind twitch all of a sudden so they have to protect themselves uh someone in the chat said
it's only for vods but it's for 30 minute segments so if they detect music
or whatever they'll mute you for 30 minutes which is interesting so right
now um I guess it's fine if you play it
in your live stream so everybody increase your music to 1.2x speed when
you're playing it in the background and just fudge their whole
algorithm that would be really interesting I wonder if you'd get in
trouble for that but it would be really interesting to see like attempting to break twitch algorithm plenty of
different like speeds like mixing music play two songs at the same time or
something yeah I'd be curious to see what could defeat that
algorithm someone should do it just try not to get banned maybe create like a
second account that you don't use that yeah Luke and I don't don't condone that
we we actually didn't say anything this part of the stream is going to be muted
in the VOD yep so don't worry about it muted
us that would be great they have The Descent algorithm they're like we have
detected descent within the twitch Network we must be let's get the NSA on this all right
so next up we have the IBM brain-like chip which kind of blew my mind get it
pun when I first read about it it has 1 million programmable neurons 256 million
programmable synapses across 4,096 individual NE neurosynaptic cores
with 4 5.4 billion
transistors G this thing is a neuromorphic brain-like computer chip
called True North which is built on top of Samsung's 28 nanom process it
consumes just 72 M at at Max load and is
176,000 times more efficient than a modern CPU running the same brain like
workload so not doing just anything but running a brain likee workload whatever
the crap that is um kind of cool uh they're talking
about how it's the second generation version of one which was a prototype in
2011 and it's pretty much ready to go for commercial application but I don't
know where it's actually going to be use for commercial application I see this
more going to like research Labs than this would definitely be probably in the
research space definitely because I don't know how many people need those
like brain like applications at least
yet I'm sure this will be in consumer devices in x amount of years but even
though they say it's ready now I pretty much only see it yeah your future
iPhone's going to be back talking you guys so you're GNA be like I don't feel
like it yeah hey you didn't take me out
for ice cream yeah exactly oh my
God I'd imagine a CPU like this though I mean this isn't designed for just
running straight up binary operations this is this is like multiple States so
yeah so you'd have to write custom software custom compiler all that stuff
so I'd be curious to see what they ultimately use that for but the power
consumption kind of blows my mind I'm like why can they build something like this that consumes so little power yet a
conventional CPU still can like heat your coffee I I think it's because
they're so drastically different it doesn't have to be able to do all the
different things that a CPU can do too um and even though they say it's like
brain like processes how brain like
actually is it I when the last time you tried to calculate piie out to like the
four millionth Place how long did it take you to do it because the computer can do it in like three seconds yeah so
like maybe this thing's a lot more efficient at doing brain-like things because the CPU is actually faster and
can't do it brain like they probably just call it brain like because dumb
just wouldn't sell chips
chip it is incredibly not as good so
much more efficient at being bad yeah that's marketing for you yeah
exactly our next gen product which is incredibly much better at being last gen
than the next gen products of its competition um so a uh news that's
probably super close to your heart is Xbox One lost Microsoft 400 million in
Gross margins last year so they didn't just go down um it increased by $1.7
billion their overall Revenue but it
also cost them $2.1 billion to get there
which net a $400 million loss so it's
it's not that surprising it's kind of to be expected with these massive launches
especially when it didn't sell quite as well as they expected they have to do
stuff like marketing R&D distribution all that crap and they have to pre-make
all these machines so they might even still have backstock of all this kind of stuff and yeah I don't know I look like
I remember back when they made the Xbox Box 360 I mean they were paying uh uh
two and a half times the cost of the system to produce each one so they were
losing money hand over fist yep and I'd imagine in this situation it's probably
not as bad I'd hope they'd learn from their mistake but still in the beginning you're going to take a huge hit right
yeah I've heard it's not nearly as bad and U I know PlayStation PlayStation 3
and Xbox 360 they were both losing money when you bought just the core system if
you bought like a controller in the same basket then they made money or whatever
I can't remember what the exact breakdown was but with Xbox One and PS4
they were making money even on just the core system so it's changed a bit do you
remember on PS3 when they were selling people were buying them just as Blu-ray players yeah and they were losing money
like crazy cuz just a factory run-of-the-mill blue uh Blu-ray player
at the time was like $100 more expensive than buying the console that did the
better job and I know that that hurt them really bad in the beginning too but
honestly I think the whole console thing I I love consoles but I think they just
waited too long I think 10 years and then coming out with the other console it's like everybody's kind of moved on
to other things Mobile gaming desktop gaming I think it's just it's kind of
killing that market down a little bit and I think they did it like too little
too late is probably the perfect that's I think that's the first time I've ever
used that perfectly is cuz it wasn't nearly strong enough and it was way too
late if they released this console a few years ago maybe well I remember when the
PS3 came out it was like so beyond any generation of computer they were the
people were actually taking that cell processor dropping Linux disos on it
using it for processing cu no conventional computer could do it yeah
and now you've got the Xbox one which pretty much has like 2-year-old you know
Hardware in it I mean so so I mean there's like really other than playing
games on it I guess there's no reason to go like you know try to find a cure for
cancer with it or something but I can't remember if it was the Navy or the army
or the Air Force or whatever but some military cell in the States was using uh
Playstation 3 clusters as servers oh a
lot of people were doing that uh the leading project on so remember the seti
at home the search for extra yeah there was like some the the top
ranking one in that list for like a year was just a bank of PS3s they were so
damn good at running those floating Point numbers with that cell processor it was awesome that's pretty crazy
they've kind of abandoned that though and tried to be computers which they're
not good at doing because straight up normal computers are much better at that
speaking of which uh there's been kind of a mass Exodus I guess Mass Exodus
isn't as great anymore now that Halo isn't in this um but there's been an
exodus of PC of uh sorry Xbox won
exclusive titles which have now gone to PC so we saw Dead Rising 3 not that long
ago and now rise has been announced rise is going to be coming uh with with
support for 4K resolution and it's also going to have uh downloadable extras
from the console game so it's going to have some nice little features for the
PC that the console one didn't have kind of unlike dead risings which was
slightly not the most graceful leap over to uh PC then everyone was super stoked
including myself I even went and like happily told my dad about this and then
was super sad when it didn't happen but the uh Halo Master Chief collector
edition for PC is apparently not coming to PC yeah so it it was posted on Amazon
as you probably know and I was incredibly I even tried to like
pre-order it and was like did they even make a mouse I thought they were selling a mouse that was themed after they've
got a mouse that's themed after it but that's apparently unrelated uh Aaron
green has tweeted that it was an error
at retail and he's apologizing for the confusion that it's caused but I'm still
going to hold off because I'm still not sure I'm still willing to to just hunker
down and believe and I'm going to wait for Gamescom and uh PX Prime I love Halo
honestly out of all the titles you mentioned that's the only one I really cared about coming to PC I would love to
do multiplayer Halo agree I I'm I'll maybe I'll pick up Ryzen like two
summer sales from now when it's $5 and
I'm not really that interested in picking up Dead Rising cuz who the hell
cares um but Halo being able to play
Halo 2 online again a as you can tell I love Halo I 3D
printed the freaking whole helmet I got my little action figures dude I love me
some Halo that's epic uh so yeah I I
it's it's happened before that's the thing the Amazon UK site has leaked
quite a few different games by posting them early so I'm wondering I'm I'm
going to go with this actually just because I want it to happen so badly
there's no real reason for me to believe this at all but I'm just going to go
with it anyways Theory yeah exactly um I I want
to believe that that tweet is just to throw people off it's just a cover up I
think it's with it's just a cover up because maybe they're trying to get
people to settle down for a little bit so they can explode again with Gamescom
or PAX Prime please make that be the truth and
if it's not just make the damn thing I don't care just bring it to PC just copy
the last one port it to p put a new number on it whatever just give it to us
Halo's already been on PC before just bring it back again I will still playing
it today they are and do you remember do you remember what happened with Halo 2
when they were shutting down the online servers all the people that refused to
disconnect oh really yeah oh my God okay
so they couldn't shut down the servers until everyone disconnected for some reason and there were people that stayed
in a game Lobby that would just keep recreating all I think was it one map or
recreating Maps I don't remember but they just stayed in a game and refused
to quit and people were like donating them money to buy fans and AC units and
stuff to try and keep their Xboxes running and they stayed in that game I
don't remember for how long but I think it was like a week or two or something and they just kept it going so they
couldn't shut down the servers and then eventually like people were falling off
because of uh like uh console failure
overheat Red Ring whatnot and then finally it came down to one person and
he he or she lasted for a little while and then it finally died out people
liked Halo 2 online I really like taor 2
online it's the only console game that I've gotten into like really heavily no
I was I I love it as far as console that's that's probably the one game that
I love playing on console and on PC like the same like I love just sitting down
and playing it on Console but it's funny because this is probably the one time Microsoft was actually thankful that all
the consoles were dying yeah exactly
don't worry we ran the statistics they can only run the Xbox for 43.2 hours but
red rings it will Red Ring lonus go back and take care of your baby get out of
the chat oh is he here he's in the chat what a nerd just ignore just right
click and ignore him like just get him out of here large lonus is here today
lius needs to take care of his spawn go take care of your spawn
lius um yeah so like I said there was
the uh there was the mouse which had a lot of people thinking that the uh Halo
Master Chiefs collection was already coming to PC just the mouse made people
think that and then when there was the so and so false posting on Amazon it
made people think that even more so I don't know hopefully it happens but
there's less than no guarantee at this point so I'm with you though I'm holding
on to the conspiracy me too it's not even that far away so I won't even feel
that bad if it doesn't come true because uh Gamescom and packs are both within
like a month so hey should we just should we just halflife three this thing and just encourage everybody to go
create the confirmed memes for it we're going to half lifee three but later on in the show okay good that'll happen
trust me okay did you read this topic this is this seems right up your alley
the cat caller that searches for vulnerable Wi-Fi hotspots no did have
you do you know what war driving is I'm assuming you know oh dude I used to war
drive as a matter of can I just tell you just a really quick story at one point I
had a car PC I built a completely custom part car PC all post pictures I even
fiberglass screen in the dashboard ran Windows XP had a drawer in the in the
trunk everything anyways I had a USB wireless access point that went up that
was on the rear deck and at one point between Microsoft and my house I was
able to set up a route where I could jump from one Wi-Fi to another between
two access points and seamlessly maintain my internet connection all the way home so I could stream like YouTube
music on Pandora everything with no cellular signal all the way from the
time I left the parking lot time I pulled into my driveway super beast I
may or may not have done that when I used to work somewhere and I did it my
drive between home and there as well uh but yeah that's called War driving so
essentially you you you used to drive through an area um bike car whatever and
have your laptop pick up vulnerable or completely unencrypted wireless networks
so you can create this like map of insecure unsecure wireless networks that
you can connect to along your way to whatever route or just gathering
information on a whole bunch of potentially vulnerable points so someone
has taken that idea and adapted it to a
cat so he has outfitted his cat Coco
with a specially made collar built from a Wi-Fi card a GPS module a battery and
a spark C ship the device runs custom
software that looks for Wi-Fi signals like we were just saying and Records ones that are open or poorly protected
with old encryption like WEP which is like useless at this point in time
essentially so I thought that was absolutely fantastic well we used to
there used to be a database online too I remember that certain War dialing software that you ran would actually
upload at the database so everybody could search for these unsecure networks
even without identifying them first yeah no no that was that was a really big
deal but that's clever to attach it to your cat and just let him go roam the neighborhood and find your networks
that's uh that's pretty hilarious and then you can put a high gain mten on your house and reach out and grab
I thought that was kind of funny um it's just I think it's cool it maybe sucks
for people that don't have secure networks but I think it's a cool little project I can't believe he made that
thing um I think that' be hilarious because you can't map where your cat
goes too so you can see if it has like a a secondary family you see if your
chat's cheating on you cat is cheating on you maybe with someone with very
insecure crappy Wi-Fi I don't think people should be like jumping on other
people's networks and stuff like that but honestly it's it's one of those
things where by identifying the network and getting it out there hopefully it
causes them to close the hole like I remember back in the day people used to
just connect to uh unsecure networks and find shared printers on your computer
because inside your house usually don't secure your network a lot of people didn't back in the day so you know You'
just be sitting there your printer just be spitting out sheets of paper like oh
hey I got your you know hey I'm printing this I'm printing this I'm on your network I'm on your network and then
they're like oh crap I better go figure out what's going on so at least at least
sometimes it helps them find it or your cable provider comes out and goes oh yeah you've been sharing movies uh for
like six months off your connection and this like little old lady's like what's a Sher movie it's like I don't
understand I don't know oh my God that's priceless though man I I didn't read
that that's that's awesome I I don't know I used to like I said I used to do
it back in the day but mostly what you're going to get is stuff like coffee shops or whatever um I don't know if
this is super common in the States but one thing that's pretty big up here at
least in BC is different coffee shops will have this thing called uh Shaw open
Shaw is one of the IP providers they'll Putters in these cfee shs and them um
but they show up as unsecured networks
like the browser Ling style um that's
really common down here also I think even Starbucks down here they give you
access but you have to go through a web page and agree to their terms of service first yeah and that would be super
annoying um but oh well too bad I did it when I was
still learning so uh one thing that you might be interested in actually while
we're on the whole like program learning topic is we started filming a super fun
today but as this week has been pretty crazy and both the editing and film guys
have no free time because they're drastically
behind catch up um I had to think of
some way to do a super fun which wouldn't take up a ton of their time so
I decided to troll the absolute crap out of uh tan one of the guys at our work
and the way that I did it was by using a a screen melter program MH
so I'm sure you know about those oh yeah um and I was thinking you might be able
to make like a partner video for our super fun on how to make one which I
think would be pretty cool with your I don't remember what it's called code
code camp or whatever code code gasm code gasm yeah so if you make a code
gasm video that goes along with the Channel Super Fun video you can show people how to do it yeah it's all about
the SEO man it's like when you put GM on the end of things people run into it on
accident for some reason I don't know why they just I don't know why they do that I don't know I don't know
definitely talk talk to me after the show we can definitely do an episode on
how to create prank apps because I've probably created hundreds of them over
the last 15 years at Microsoft and most of them were pretty successful because I
know all the little nooks and crannies to put things where people can't find
that's fantastic I did it in a super ghetto way I had a fairly elegant way
that I was planning on doing it because he's running a hard drive in his system
I put it on the startup so that he would hopefully turn his computer on and then
sit there while other things are loading and then all of a sudden it would just randomly happen at least in his eyes
but he turned his computer on knowing that it had a hard drive and just walked
away because it was going to take so long to boot so I had to think of some
other way of doing it so instead of setting up like a timer or anything more
elegant like that I just plugged a mouse in and waited for him to be using his
computer and then I launched it while he was using his computer that's awesome I
I actually have a program I want to give you to go prank somebody one time I I
called it Tourette and don't don't I know what you're talking about don't
okay I I made this program I'll go find the the source code for it and send it
to you it's Priceless okay cool well I I'll use that I just don't want people
to know what it is yet I must be malicious I'll even show
you how to hide it so they can't find it perfect okay let's see oh my gosh oh
continue okay okay we're going to move on so we're going to get to the the the
topic that you really didn't like um but the NVIDIA physic disabled when a non
envidia GPU is detected in your
system I just can't see the reason for them doing I mean the only I guess the
only reason I could see them wanting to do something like this is that they don't want to be held liable for bugs
and stuff that are exposed through the incompatibility because they don't own the whole Hardware ecosystem at that
point their excuse is uh NVIDIA says high quality experience in such a
scenario cannot be guaranteed but guys
come on people have been using this for so long it was fine I I've literally never
heard anyone complain about it at all
so no I think think play to force force
upgrade to ATI I mean you yeah like I love you guys but no so that this is
coming in in NVIDIA's new 342
drivers um it it's going to be enabling Shield tablet features but it's also
going to have the feature where it disables your physx GPU so if you're
trying to run like a beast R9 card and a
little Nidia card for physx maybe not going to work anymore or you're going to
have to run older drivers which you can do just make sure you don't update your
drivers beyond that for for this to work and then maybe it'll run into problems
in the future but at least work for a little while now
um yeah I don't know not not cool I'm
not super stoked for this personally that's not the scenario that I run but I do know people personally that do run
this scenario and it will affect them and obviously like I just said they'll
be able to last for a while by just not upgrading their driver software at all
but that's going to eventually not be a very elegant solution well looking at it
from the marketing standpoint I mean obviously if people can get a good fizx
experience from a cheap little GPU that's no longer relevant or supported
you know that's not good business for them you know they want you to run their
product so by cutting off the competition and saying okay you have to
be running NVIDIA everything to get physx some of those people may actually
like that that may be enough to you know just put them over the top yeah and go
get
it so it's it's not going to affect stuff like if you have onboard Intel
chips or anything like that so don't worry I saw one person in the chat freak
about that it's just like dedicated card differentials um I don't know this is
just not really cool I can't say I'm
surprised to be honest but I didn't expect it I just yeah it just seems like
it seems like they actually had to go out of their way to like disable the feature and all the card was doing was
processing physx so was it really doing any work with the other GPU it it
doesn't sound like it was it sounds like it was just sitting there and independently doing its thing yeah I I
just jumped to the twitch chat and I see some guy saying AMD sucks with a billion
exclamation marks and then someone else saying NVIDIA is for hipsters so job
Fanboys winning arguments Fanboys you
are holding up the internet you are single-handedly holding up the internet
because without your Wars without your Wars we'd have far too much bandwidth to
get into other trouble you're the only reason why your company is able to exist
so good job Fanboys um apparently from
here on out any NVIDIA GPU that runs physx will have to be a GeForce 8 series
or later with a minimum 256 megabytes of memory so that's not exactly a huge
requirement no really big deal there um
and yeah I don't know because that's when NVIDIA introduced the uh introduced
Cuda that got fairly uninteresting because there's not a lot of information
other than they're just going to make it stop working and and that's why I believe that it's not if if it was a
technical hurdle and they were like we're rewriting the whole stack for fys X to favor new features on later
generation processors or something that would make sense yeah but if they're just like yeah we're turning it off
that's more of like a we're sad we're sad that people out there are like
trying to use ATI and NVIDIA and it's like ruining our whole Fanboy campaign
yeah apparently they are working on a resolution for physx issues with AMD
apus so we'll see what happens there the Apu will be a supported scenario uh I
think maybe that's like an eventuality I think it might be a problem right now
but they do say they are working with it so hopefully that happens and then
here's your halflife 3 rumors
thing which we'll do before we jump into uh have you seen all the tweets I've
been sending out for like the last three weeks all the halflife 3 stuff I
photoshopping so we're gonna give you some more fodder for that fire um give
me one quick second all right if I jump over here Source 2 found in files I have
a picture here which you guys totally aren't going to be able to see at all
because screen sharing is not working at all um it's it's a square dark gray
window with some white text in it I'm just trying to help good work good work
I appreciate it I'm not gonna have time to open up the dock but essentially it's
a picture of the directory setup for oh
can I get a link from this is that possible no give me a quick
second I will post something in the chat so I'm going to post the original thread
which is by lots of unexplainable lag
which is a fantastic name I have to
say okay so I just spammed that in the chat if you're watching the VOD of this
you'll be able to see it in the description down below hopefully or
you'll be able to jump to the doc on the Forum which you'll well you'll be able
to see the doc in the description down below and then you'll be able to go to the doc which will show you the link
which is on the Forum there we go that was a whole bunch of jumps but
essentially someone found it in a source 2 directory because that's the most
hidden way they could have possibly done it um which came with a big update for
DOTA 2's SDK which is called hammer
many are speculating that it's actually Source 2 as a soft launch instead of a
hard launch and valve has stated that this is a developer Focus release and
currently has high system requirements so not denying it which is fantastic
because that does sound like it could be a soft launch just so people can Tinker
with it before they actually hard launch it later on um all the files would share
a name with Source engine and they also are qualified with the number two so as
you guys can see see in there maybe well
let's be honest too you do have to check the include hidden objects to see it so
you know whoa so so not everybody's GNA
be able to just find this I mean only the true hackers I run that by
default so I guess I'm pretty badass I
don't know not really um yeah it's Gabe Newell said we've been
working we've been waiting for a game to roll it source to out with and he also
said that it's a new engine altogether not a mere extension of the existing
Source technology so that's probably why you're seeing that folder they've
updated Hammer with this possibly Source
two stuff so that they can roll it out later on I think this is pretty
interesting because that means we have another thing that's on the two
nomenclature we will we will eventually get a title that is three and it will be
halflife I just don't know when but the most brilliant thing would be is if halflife three ran on the source 2
engine that would be that' be awesome they're
just like no we will not release a series of Threes um what I'm kind of
hoping is that this is again something that's happening pre Gamescom and PAX
Prime so hopefully they go hey yeah
Source 2 at Gamescom and PS Prime even though this definitely isn't like a very
official announcement as someone just randomly found it and this I would
believe even more than the Microsoft Halo thing which I'm just choosing to
believe because they're not denying it yeah they're saying it's new stuff
they're just saying it's for developers and it has high system requirements currently so maybe it needs more
optimizations maybe it needs to be tinkered with some more um but it's well
from from a software developer perspective too chances are if the engine's in it's you know in an earlier
stage like this it's probably debug code so it's probably heavily heavily filled
with lots of additional code that just gets cut out for the final product but
they need that code to find all the bugs early on that makes sense and that's
probably it so it's probably going to be much more
streamlined later on which is great so this is interesting and cool because
every single time that there's a source update so many games just get better it
used to be the Unreal Engine and it still kind of is but um definitely
Source at this point in time will ramp up a whole bunch of stuff um now we're
going to actually jump to sponsors real quick quick which I'm terrible at doing
sponsor spots but apparently when we have horrible sponsor spots it's fine so
let me see if I can do this I think I'm going to have to regrab you because I
don't think you're going to be here nope crap all right give me a second we're
going to grab you again not in not in that way settle down I was just getting
excited too no no a okay so you're a
little bit smaller than you should be I thought that was like a Canadian handshake like just grabbing people like
just just just minor molestation that's Canadian handshakes uh so we're starting
with 54 Club whose shirt I'm currently wearing this fits better than the other
one which some people have pointed out that's just cuz I have large pectoral
muscl or at least I would like to believe so we're doing five4 giveaways
we've been doing this for quite a while you can enter to win in multiple
different ways one is by liking an Instagram picture which I will post in
the twitch chat right now I like Instagram picture once once
was it exciting it was very exciting is that the only one you've ever liked no
I've liked a lot of them I I'm sorry I lied to you now I feel bad okay so you
cheated on that one Instagram picture I I did oh jeez that's embarrassing
anyways you also have to follow 54 it's just 54 on Instagram and comment # Linus
techtips and just say something cool and
we put into a draw which we draw on one day to win a 54 package just so you guys
know if you want to sign up for 54 it costs 60 bucks a month but you get $120
a month worth of stuff like this shirt you have to go through like a stylistic
profiling thing where they profile you but not your psychology they profile
what you like to wear which could be a part of psychology I don't really know
someone's calling me let me see who it is
hello hi this is Luke
yeah you for a second just a reminder that either Saturday or Sunday is your
brother's birthday I'm not sure is it the nth today yeah I'm hanging out with
Richard on Saturday you're on the show by the way
I am not are you are you totally are
tell everybody I say hi Oh we can hear you they can hear you you're on speaker
phone hi please hi he says hi all right
I will let you get back I'm sorry I forgot no problem bye
mom calls during the sponsor spot
fantastic awesome that 54 likes partially screwed up integration so
whatever maybe your mom once you know what you probably are not that great at
clothing yourself sorry if you are I'm not though so I could probably gain from
five four club and I know my mom would probably appreciate it if I did because
I still have I'm wearing shorts that she literally bought for me in grade eight
yeah let's hear you say that again after seeing this that's actually kind of
fantastic yeah it is just can't clothe myself come on dude I can't so I just
assume everyone else can't you know what maybe you can I'm sorry I haven't bought
months dude everything every shirt I get is just clicking a button online and it
gets Ma fa to me this is going to sound terrible but every single time I get a
new girlfriend I go up in clothing because they get frustrated by the
clothes that I wear they buy me to
clothes oh that's that's an interesting
uh yeah girlfriend horrible but it's not
actually a good thing okay moving on it takes you about a minute or less to
actually set up your style profile you essentially go through and it's like would you like what one of these would
you like and you pick like one pair of shoes or one shirt or whatever and then
it it'll tailor your shipments to that kind of style of clothing pretty cool if
you sign up right now with offer code lonus you get $15 off your first month
and they have a friend referral program where if you refer someone you get $15
off of your next month's membership as well then next up we have I'm GNA have
to fix it again because it's going to be broken again I'm going to give that service a try actually I like that
because every every other subscription shirt service I've done you know you
already know what's coming I'd like to just get surprised yeah I I think the
whole idea of 54 Club is that you can be
the biggest laziest person ever and
they'll just take care of everything which is fantastic because you know what
I actually don't mind going shopping with people for them but I don't like
shopping for myself I'm the same way I'm the same I can help people pick things
out but if I'm shopping for myself I'm just be like uh I'm bored I don't want
to do this I would bought one pair like two pairs of tailored jeans once in my
entire life and it was like the most horrible experience ever it's like some
people like that it's like oh here have some water we're going to tail your jeans I can't stand it it's like I just
want to go buy them and cuff them up and say screw it exactly yeah all right so jumping up
to linda.com quite a few people in the office use this I've used it in the past
and I currently use it my mom speaking of which has used it to try and learn
Excel um Taran one of our editors has
gained a whole bunch of editing skills by learning them on linda.com you can
learn tons of stuff and one thing that I actually suggest it for which is
interesting because Jerry's on the stream is learning programming I I've
talked to tons of people that want to get into programming that are in high
school that are like yeah my course is really boring is it a video is it a
video based service too like video learning or is because because that's
like honestly most of all the coding knowledge that I have is from taking
video like a current coding knowledge is from video courses that I've taken over
the course of many years because it just you can slow them down you can speed them up you can play them back you can
keep going back I mean it's the it's honestly the best way to learn it's it's
it's great I love linda.com I've I've and like the reason I suggest it to
people in uh High School still is because tons of people aren't challenged
by their high school programs and you can go on linda.com and learn freaking
anything like I've said they have thousands of courses and they're adding
new ones every single week and programming is one of their main
sections so you want to learn stuff about programming really good place to go if you code gasm first though look
they gotta watch code gasm and then like share the love go to code gasm for some
of your stuff go to linda.com for other parts of your stuff you probably need a
whole bunch of stuff to learn anyways um if if you jump jump on and go to
linda.com wow you get a 7-Day free trial
um and yeah PL started about 25 bucks a
month but you get tons of stuff to learn and it's going to be something that's going to be easy to get like your mom to
get behind be like Mom I'm not learning enough at school I want to learn more
well like a single good programming book is like you can be 60 bucks so that's 60
bucks is like pretty cheap well no I'm not talking about like
textbooks from college I'm talking about like if you want to go buy like the C
Bible or something like that one of the larger refal books ories and you can pay
TOS for a single book so I'd rather have a month of unlimited access to yeah and
and I know a ton of people that uh don't do very well with learning programming
out of books anyways if you get someone to to talk to you or be much more
interactive uh I've seen it go a lot better I agree could Cur I can girl yes
all right we're going to jump back up in the dock back to other topics so
Silverstone has shown off a power supply I hope this isn't under NDA because we
have it which I'm super stoked about because it's for small form Factory it
is an sfx PSU so a lot of people
complain that you can't really do like awesome overclock builds with uh mini
ITX systems uh but now you can because they have a 600 wat 50 amp available on
12 ra 12vt rail power supply which is fully modular and semi fanless I believe
it's uh 20% load or below it will do a
no spin mode for the fan so that mode isn't super high but it exists so when
you're running idle or whatever you can have a potentially silenti is or silent
small form factor build that does kind of matter because if you get some type
of fan controller that can do thermal load where you can have all your fans go
off you could basically have everything off at a pretty idle rate as long as you
have fairly good radiators are a lot of case manufacturers actually adopting
that form factor too it's slowly becoming a thing cuz that's what me off
is I've built so many of these little systems and usually when they die you
have to throw the whole case away and like go buy another one cuz like every
power supply is proprietary yeah yeah it is becoming a thing more and more these
days especially lately and I bet you with the announcement of this power
supply there's going to be even more because one of the biggest complaints that people have had is you can't really
get appropriate power supplies for these systems so now if you're going for like
crazy overclock balls to the wall system which a lot of people still want to do
with mini ITX you'll actually be able to do it because 600 watts is quite B to
play with we can play for for a small system definitely and I and I I want to
build media centers and I want to build small media centers and that's been my only hold back so far yeah I don't want
to buy these cases that have these proprietary suppli so that's really cool
actually a video that I'm planning on working on while lonus is away is I'm
going to be comparing um Mass wattage versus low wattage so I'm going to be
taking two very good power supplies but comparing a very good but low lower
wattage power supply versus a very good very high wattage power supply just to
prove that having a 1200 watt power supply versus a 600 WT power supply with
a fair Fairly standard system isn't actually going to help you but what I'm
not trying to prove because it's you don't want to do that is having a really
crappy power supply in a really heavily overclocked system you want to Reliable
one you just don't necessarily need 1,500 watt whatever the crap because you
probably don't have that much stuff in your system you might I've got 1300
watts of power in my system I was going to say you might there's definitely
going to be people out there yeah yeah um but I I don't know for for
a large percentage of people it won't be that big of a deal yeah and chances are
you're not going to stuff stuff a big enough GPU in that system anyways to
need that that giant power requirement all right see somebody do
that though just hey if somebody out there builds a tiny tiny little system
that has like the little extension cable that goes to like a Titan tape to the
side of it that'd be awesome to have like a micro ITX build with a Titan and
the Titan's like an integral part of the case someone got little
uh what do you call it ventilation hold fiberglass kind of plate container
things and just glued them all to the all four sides of his case and put four
Titan blacks around a mini ITX system
then just fill the whole thing with mineral oil and just have it circulated do it somebody needs to do it
yes yes are there any millionaires out there that want to do
this yeah really do I still have Titan blacks behind me can I just be baller on
the show yep wait for for it wait for it
waiting oh dude I hate you guys
seriously a dude I'm all like poor people here8 still R just get me see me
what rub of Titan black against my face oh I'm so excited to install these
you've heard about the room water cooling project right yes yes I actually
some input on it I told you guys you need to put a kitty pool on the outside
with an actual spout at you guys would have like warm water like you could
probably replace the water heater in your house with that thing I remember
you saying that actually now uh we we've
ringed my dad in my dad is like a pretty beast mode plumber um he was a pretty
beast mode plumber for a while and then he's started instructing now at a
university so he knows what he's doing and we're going to get him to do
Hardline piping around most of the room and he's doing a return line as well and
he's like he's he's made our original idea much more legit he actually doing
the install for a lot of that stuff I I will make you a deal you can pass us on
the lus if you guys find a way to put a shower head on there in a kitty pool I
will drive my ass up to Canada and take and I will take a shower in that damn
Kitty pool I will do it as a part we're trying to make sure that it is uh like
very well contained so we won't get any contaminants in the loop because that
could be a pretty big issue so contaminants I'm like I don't think
you're showering man the whole point having a shower I don't even go out of this room
I live here here dude that doesn't mean that there's no
contaminants the skin is naturally oily anyway with
me uh I think we're going to try and do it as legit as possible but yeah we have
a whole bunch of new plans now that my dad has been looped into it so that's
cool um so you guys are just have like quick disconnects and everything so you just pop the systems off quick
disconnects all over the place it's going to be set up so that um there's an
external Radiator on every system and then quick disconnects coming out of the
case and quick disconnects sitting on the external radio on every system so
that if you want to disconnect it from the room and take it somewhere else you
can quick disconnect off the room quick disconnect up into the radiator and
still be good to go you know what you guys should do is just take a whole bunch of like four extra radiators and
just leave them on a shelf that way you don't have to put one on every computer you just basically take the radio over
and like snap it to the side of it and then when you're done you unplug it and plug it back in that'd be pretty cool
too that's not a bad idea
um I think we're just leave because the
idea is every system will have um an internal Reservoir which shouldn't
normally be used maybe it is I don't remember exactly how it works internal
Reservoir internal pump which will be used we're going to have um d5s in every
computer which will be pushing all the time just to help the Little Giant uh
pump that we have in the other room no that's a smart move because you don't want the first system in the loop like
blowing a hose PSI so high yeah no that's cool uh yeah so that'll be
helping so essentially literally all that will happen you don't even have to
take the side panel off you have to do nothing to be able to remove almost
nothing to be able to take one of the computers and put it somewhere else because you just quick disconnect off
quick disconnect in and that's it the quick disconnects are going to be laying
there waiting all the time so that'll be that is so cool take downstairs to film
or whatever it'll be no problem so that'll be a really exciting project um
and like I said we looped my dad into that and speaking of looping people into
things I have some shoutouts for stuff that's happened on The Forum we have a
shout out to the boink team um for passing a 1 billion point mark which is
pretty insan and our folding team is now in 42nd
Place plac Place wow can't I talk and
they just pass the two billion point mark So holy crap good job everyone
that's awesome also a call out for Featured build logs I know people have
been asking a lot of questions about that lady late I just said lady I can't
talk right now I need liquids but my power raids out
um anyways the we're having an update
for that we now have thank you
appreciate uh I now have other people running it because I was careless and
couldn't keep up with it so now um wher
and alpen waser and a few other people are trying to manage it and make sure it
actually happens so we had a proper one last month but we're going to have kind
of a catchup month so we're having a featured build log submission post kind
of open grazing just submit all the
stuff event where pretty much anyone could subit subit their builds and yeah
basically anyone with completed build can submit just make sure you follow the posting format so check out the build
log section of the Forum and submit your builds there and I think when there's
either a timed version or when we get to
100 submissions we're going to be moving it to a voting thread and we're going to
have a big summary of like all the awesome builds that have happened in the
last little while and then we're going to go back to a monthly or quarterly
schedule for build logs but it's actually going to be happening properly
now because now there's a group of us managing it and not just me because we
all saw how well that went oh well now
the most important news of the day by
far the most important news probably that you'll hear this quarter or maybe
even possibly this year Yoshi's full
name has been revealed his name is t Yoshi Sor
munchakoopas what does the T stand for no one
knows t Yoshi Sor munchakoopas
ridiculous I think I'm just going to keep on calling him Yoshi but maybe if
I'm trying to be formal when I'm asking him to run his cart a little bit faster
in Mario Kart 8 I can say Yoshi Sor munchakoopas um Blake Harris Unearthed
the character's name from a copy of the
Nintendo character guide from 1993 I bet they were hoping that that
would never be reared probably because that is not the greatest name ever um I
you know I think it's actually kind of cool because Yoshi which is is way
better but then sore cuz he kind of looks like a dinosaur that makes sense
and then muncha Koopas is probably the best last name they probably could have
given him I agree I agree it's very accurate too yeah exactly uh Mario is
also apparently not a traditional human being he is a different species he's a
different species called homon Nintendo
nintend nintendonus I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce that I think Don
sounds cooler though let's go with nintend nintendonus nintendonus
Mario is homo nintendonus from from here on out
everybody when a plumber is at your house referred to them as homo
nintendonus I hope that I'm going to call my my dad next time I talk to my
dad I'll be like Father
nintendonus Can you help us with our water cooling product they're just like
regular humans except for their pants can't go above their ass crack that's like the that's the Mario has overall
things and they stay up that's why they wear overalls now you know cuz pants
that butt crack just keeps going for days because it's Nintendo and they had
to make sure that they didn't have anything scandalous showing on screen it
makes sense I get it um anyways that was
obviously not the most important news of the week but I kind of thought it was on
awesome I know dorley right now this isn't in the I love dorley oh my God
it's one of my favorite YouTube channels oh my go let me see if I can find this
website yes the best Nintendo character ever I'll spam this in the chat right
now they're currently having a vote voting contest for this and I went
through and did the whole thing it's kind of cool how they do it cuz it's fairly you get I think 100 matchups 112
matchups and as you go through it's kind of like voting people off not
necessarily voting people in because as you narrow down your 112 competitions
you'll start seeing the same people popping up and essentially what it's
trying to do is find your favorites so say link is your favorite because he's
currently voted worldwide favorite right now you'll see him a whole bunch of
times and the final match up will be Link versus someone else seriously the
we fit trainer yeah man I voted for her a couple times I bet dude you're
probably play her in uh Super Smash Bros for Wii U she's really good she's
actually really good like that's why I voted for her because I was like oh
whatever I'll pick her as a joke and then I did really well I just threw a
vote for you buddy I did thanks man I appreciate it see I've got toad versus
dark Sam it's so hard some of these votes but it's interesting because you
get to see how everyone stacked up in your voting once you're done and you get
to see how everyone Stacks up overall so right now the top five are Link in
number one and then Samos Aran in number two three is Mario four is Princess
Zelda and then five is red which is like
ash but in the game series so I don't
know that's pretty cool they have 50 different ones last place right now is
Bowser Jr sorry buddy all right but they
have it from a whole bunch of different Nintendo titles so if you want to kind
of have some fun maybe check out that dorkly thread
um yeah I don't know it's pretty interesting I don't know if there's like
a cut off date or anything so I don't
know I didn't see it anywhere but I don't think it's that big of a deal it's
just kind of for fun anyway I voted for like five or six and then I got bored
and closed it but you know that ADHD is a hell of a thing I was Wonder the the
only reason why I kept going and finished the whole thing was I was actually wondering how they did it cuz I
would notice every once in a blue moon when I was first when I went through the
first few cuz I was like they're going to have 112 matchups this is going to be ridiculous and then the ranking system
for that going to be weird because if you have um like a super popular
character voted against a not super popular character obviously they're
going to win um so I was trying to figure out how they did it so I kept on
going and then I started seeing things showing up more and more and I was like ah I think I understand and then when it
came down to the very end and it was the two that I had voted for like a billion
times I was like all right I understand that's pretty cool next up is toxic
pretty sure I'm saying that right it's spelled t x i k
k so pretty sure it's toxic it is a PC
only Arena FPS it's classic FPS style
action like a real tournament kind of thing going on all players are always
equal so there's no like leveling system or perks or [ __ ] and that's part of
the whole idea my favorite thing is it goes through and it's like no leveling
system no blah blah blah no all this kind of stuff Arena style combat and
then the and then they start going through stuff they do have they have um
different Arena modes they have uh vehicle mode they have all this other
kind of stuff and then at the very end it says free to play and I was like Oh
no you're going to Ru the whole thing and then there's this huge stamp that
goes right over it it's like no it's like
Yay like transactions just kidding yeah
seriously um in the comments of the video I saw a billi people saying that
it's kind of funny that a marketing stance nowadays for a game is to say you
have to pay for this and people are like
yeah I know how did that happen weird
how messed up is the game remember like back in the shareware days right they'd
give you like a part of the game and then you could pay if you wanted the the
rest of the game and that was fine but now they've changed the dynamic to where
it's like now you go buy the game or get the game for free like blacklight
retribution for for lot of people like that game you get in there and then it's
like people are like walking around with mechs and and got like indestructible
armor and you're like running around with like your Daisy Red Rider pump action BB
gun and it drives me absolutely nuts or
you've got the if you have an Intel SSD you get those boots that make you run
faster yep that's why that's why games like Unreal Tournament and stuff where
you just jump in it's like it's actually your skill it's not like cod where
you're like level 60 Prestige and you got the gun where you just push a button and the bullet finds somebody and kills
them you're like PE kill PE kill it's not that bad but it it's still pretty
bad yeah I hear you so the idea is that they're going to have classic styled and
massive Maps both of them it's going to be exclusively for PC which is one of
the big things they're pushing and it's developed by reactor they're a again
spelled kind of weird r e a k k t o r um
they're an indie Studio but they have members that have at least 10 years of
experience with game development all over the place so they're kind of a big deal I'm pretty excited for this to come
out but I'm going to curb my enthusiasm because the last PC only Rah R game that
I really got behind that released so I'm not including star SC in right now was
hard reset and we might all know how
well that went so hopefully this works quite well um not like PC really needs
more exclusives because we have tons of them um but I'll welcome it and
hopefully if we get all of the Xbox exclusives at some point so there aren't
any anymore and then we have PC exclusives the console guys won't even
have that argument anymore so I'm cool with that DC Master race yeah um anyways
krych CEO has actually starting to pay people again hopefully um and he has
fully admitted to delaying paychecks
sketchy um some of the things that he has said is that he had two choices
really um he either had a choice to delay paychecks um delay me not they're
not getting paid he's just delaying them to a further date or to put push your
cash flow directly to Studios and file for insolvency because basically he's
saying he had to delay paychecks or get rid of the entire company both of them
were bad and he had to make a decision out of two bad decisions which is
actually a pretty good point uh he's saying that he also um informed
employees that they they they told everyone that this was going to happen
and said that they would offer help if people wanted to essentially resign and
find another job I was all on when he had his little
pep talk about being like I was stuck between a rock and a hard place and I
had to make a one bad decision out of two blah blah blah blah blah but then
when he's like I gave them the option to freely resign or get a delayed paycheck
I think at that point in time you have to give them a severance package because you're being a jerk doesn't matter if
you only had two bad decisions you're still being a jerk doesn't matter if you
had to be a jerk you're still being a jerk I don't think you have to be like
you quit for nothing and we'll help you find another job or you take a paycheck
that's not right that's not right at all um so I do feel bad for the dude and I'm
happy that they did get a whole bunch of money from they're not saying yet um but
I don't know maybe still kind of dealt with it a little bit better by treating
your employees a little bit better then if you did this leak probably wouldn't
have been as bad considering you've been on all of the last like three or four W
shows you're probably doing something wrong um usually if you do something
really good you get on one W show um anyways so in other news EA is not doing
something terrible they're giving BF4 trial for a week I believe
it's 168 hours of game time so you can
clock those game time hours whenever you want because of um they kind of freet
to-play system not too surprising though because hard Line's coming or is already
out I don't know it's coming no they well they yeah they released the beta
for a little while and then they pulled it back so we don't know I I don't actually know what the release uh time
for the game is but I liked it I actually thought it was pretty cool yeah
so my my my thought process on this is they're probably trying to build hype for Battlefield 4 again so they can drop
Hardline and then all the people that got all the hype for Battlefield 4 can
buy Hardline I think they're just making a mad scramble to get a bunch of people
to beta test their net code so that they can get issues worked out early one of
those two I think I'm vot I'm voting for your being used yeah yeah yeah either
way though it's kind of cool because 168 hours is quite a bit of time dude free
free is free I that's the thing is I I tend not to complain as much about games
that are free as the games I've paid like $400 to play Electronic Arts got to
buy your Battlefield 4 on what it Xbox I got an Xbox 360 Xbox One PlayStation 4
and PC and two of them I got premium on why because they took all my money they
wanted to take my money so I I just gave it to him I was
like cuz I have people I play with on all those different consoles like I have
friends that I play yeah you need to consolidate your friends list man I'm
going to start doing that I'm going to list be like yeah no you got a PS4 dude
uh I can't hang out with you anymore yeah I'm sorry I've already got like
three people over here on this other console so I'm just G to have to let you go I'm sorry here's your severance
package and I back your s package is
like a bag of cookies it is yeah it's a bag of pickles and like a code for like
a free $ five game off steam yes oh man I probably shouldn't
have clapped in front of the mic um but yeah that that's kind of brutal man I
don't know if I could do that I usually try to find the most people that are
going to play a specific game on a specific platform which nowadays is
almost always PC thank you group of friends um but and then I would buy it
for that so like back in the day I did get Halo 2 so I played it on Xbox
obviously because a whole bunch of my friends played so I did do that I I've
followed friends into buying things but I don't think I've ever bought something
on two different platforms before I not even two and then you bought it for how
many five I've got it on like four no four four platforms 360 PlayStation 4 uh
play or Xbox One and uh PC PC okay yeah
so yeah I'm all over the place that's
PR L you don't have anyone with Wii U thing is that sucks on every one of the
platforms yet I keep giving them my money I don't get it their marketing
department is phenomenal you know I actually really liked um Battlefield 3 I
did too that was my f that was my all-time favorite Battlefield my favorite one was
uh honestly 1942 but Bad Company 2 was
pretty good I played it for quite a while um but Battlefield 3 I played a
fair amount and despite all the bull crap it was somewhat okay and then
Battlefield 4 came out and I just can't deal with their their junk anymore I
can't believe Battle Log still isn't fixed everying timey to play G so bad
though how did they go from like decent net code to such horrible net code like
the rubber banding and the random pauses and like the hit markers like you're
shooting some dude or where you just shoot out in nowhere and it's like some guy dies you're like where was he and
then he just like appears and dies in front of you you're like uh this is
wrong very wrong I don't know man it's
it's it's it's no good um and and it
seems like every single time and people people flame me for this every single
time but I'm going to keep on saying it because it's true every time I go try to
play the game you can't just launch the game nope it's impossible there's a
battle log update there's an origin update there's an update for the
game something didn't work at all
because it never does and then for some reason there's the friends list is down
or not working or the servers have having problems or there's a sound bug
which just makes it so the entire server is muted and it's like oh my God I just
want to play leave me alone this is the only reason I like consoles Luke the
only reason is because you go you put the damn CD in the thing most of the
time I'm not going to say all the time because I still get that stupid you got to download 7 Gigabyte update every
other day but I'm going to blow you up for this because I tried to do a
keymander video not even that long ago
you know what I'm sure you know what keymander is it's that thing have no idea what ke what the hell is keymander
it's this little in between so you can plug a keyboard and mouse into your console oh I've got I've got one of
those it's just it's from a different company I yeah um Tred to do a video on
that and the problem ended up being that it took me so long to set up originally
because I put I I turned the Xbox on and first of all there's this massive update
and I'm like okay whatever we don't use
Xbox one that much at all so it makes sense that I had to do this massive
update but then I put a Dead Rising 3 disc in that I had from a buddy is a
developer on the game so it's like the the cas is all signed and everything
it's kind of cool but I've never played it before so I put the disc in and it
wouldn't load it says please put an Xbox
game or identifiable media disc in the system something along those lines and
I'm like oh okay the disc is dead I've never played it before so I wasn't too
surprised for a few months sorry buddy but I didn't play your game um so Lon
sends me off to the store and I find a $20 copy of Call of Duty ghost which was
hilarious because it was so cheap uh and I bring it back to play on my Xbox One
and I put that in and it doesn't load and I'm like what the hell okay so my
Xbox is broken and I go to like lay it
down so I can unplug everything and when I lay it down it
reads nice I'm like really you don't
have vertical disc reading
support I don't know if that's actually an issue with everyone but we had that
problem which is just sad it didn't work work at all and then finally I'm like
okay the game's working now I'm just going to launch it play right away
because it's a console there obviously be no problems I'm just going to put the disc in it's going to work right that's
how consoles work massive download required Call of Duty ghost needs this
like huge download and it has to install locally on the system and I'm like this
is this isn't a console it's you're not putting the disc in and it works when I
try to play a game on my Wii if there's a download it takes 2 seconds and it
works immediately and it just launches the game automatically this one had to
install it locally and download the biggest patch ever and it took up the
whole rest of the day and I wasn't even able to get that video done and now it's
just sitting on my desk and I haven't looked at it in weeks cuz I'm just like
I think the whole update thing is is completely stupid like it doesn't seem
like they even try to get the updates that small because it's like oh you look
at the you look at like the change list and the change list is like oh we've improved net code slightly yet it has to
download like 8 gigabytes of like you know world maps and textur and it's like
it just doesn't seem like they try to minimize that patching process they almost like make you download the whole
game every time it drives me nuts they they just it seems like they tried to
find anything that could possibly be annoying about a PC version of the game
and then made it happen on Xbox I remember when I bought Battlefield 4 it
was like was it a four Gigabyte Gigabyte update for that thing literally I had to
start the update and like go eat dinner and you know salon and go to work a week
yeah no it's ridiculous people are asking why I got Call of Duty ghost it's
because it was the cheapest game I could have possibly bought for Xbox one it's
not because I wanted to play it I was trying to buy a game that was a firstperson shooter that was as cheap as
possible because all I wanted to do was show that you could use a keyboard and mouse in that game and Dead Rising isn't
necessarily the right game to properly show that off for so I wanted to be able
to show fine movement with a mouse so I thought of getting Call of Duty ghost um
but yeah I got frustrated by the stupid xbone so I kind of gave up on that maybe
I'll finish that video at some point in time cuz I think it's kind of cool you can go to your buddy toast that insists
on playing console and you can bring your keymander and wreck them because you have keyboard and mouse um but
people get so mad at you if you announce that you use that though like I did a
video hey guys look I'm using my keyboard and mouse oh god oh you're
cheat you're big cheater and I wasn't even winning or anything I was like still suck horribly but you kind of are
because it's so much better and like I'm not even just Master racing right here
keyboard and mouse is so much better
than a than a controller and it even is when you use something like a key
cuz you can change your sensitivity and stuff so you could make it almost not
really but you can make it a fairly similar experience to using input
devices on a normal computer it's not going to be as great but close kind of
interesting but yeah it's it's it's an interesting video because I want to make
it so that essentially based around how to just completely wreck all of your
console friends because you can bring this around with you because I think it works with Xbox One Xbox 360 and
Playstation 3 I think M only works with
360 like it doesn't I don't think it worked with anything else I'll have to check I think it's a zim a zim Edge or
something okay yeah yeah it was cool configurable is though because you can
set up macros and literally do everything the timing between button I
mean you could literally make one key like do a like a combo like if you're
playing Mortal Kombat or something you have one key be like a half moon ba and
like always nail that move so yeah I guess I guess that is pretty pretty
cheat pretty cheater device it's I'm going to take that to MLG and just
dominate oh yes I'll bring my keyboard and mouse to my console turnament
um I I I know like oh what was I trying
to say here I I know a while ago there was internal controller mods that you
could do where you can make it so you just hold down fire and it would fire
semi-automatic weapons at full speed so you could take like single shot rifles
and big back in like that I remember back in the old Nintendo games they used
to have those power controllers that you could get where you flip little whatever
give you turbo rapid fire you'd have like six buttons instead or four buttons
instead of two yeah that was awesome I love that especially in those games
where you had to like sit there and just Button Mash the hell out of something to achieve a goal you just hold the button
down and be like yep win this yeah I don't know
those are those are pretty cool but they are definitely definitely cheater
devices but I hope to have a video on that eventually although every single
time I go work on that project I just get super pissed at the Xbox and quits
so I don't know when that's going to be ready hey at least you don't have to
wrap it in the blanket to make it work okay yeah maybe um
so we get to do something fairly fun actually um can you no I don't think so
maybe not all right I'm just going to do this I have to play around with screen
regions for a sec here I never even had a chance he didn't even tell me what I
no chance at all what we're going to do is a
giveaway just keep drawing till it is people now Luke I'm sure everybody
watching is going to be to totally cool with that so what we're going to be
doing is we're going to be giving away a r9270x and an ocz fatality 1 watt 80
plus gold power supply with individually slaved cables this is for one winner so
one winner is getting both it's a slightly overpowered power supply for that graphics card but whatever don't
worry about it and we're going to be random.org drawing that right now so
it's based on allius Tech tips.com thread so just give me one second and I
will pull this up on this monitor because again my screen sharing is not
working at all so God learned a computer
luk geez you learned a computer dude I am I'm computer right
now just gets mad at screen sharing sometimes that's my
excuse sometimes I wonder if xplit was like written in basic or something CU
it's like oh my God is it bloat wear I
know I'm not a huge fan of open broadcaster either though I'm I don't
like the interface I think it works better overall once you get it configured but God the whoever wrote the
uers interface for that thing was like I don't know I think he might have been blind I I just find that changing things
on the Fly With Open broadcaster is a lot harder if you set up everything
everything perfectly beforehand I prefer it but if you have to mess with things
while you're live I don't prefer it and because we're so ghetto sauce over here
we always have to mess with things while we're live so we kind of have to just
deal with expit yeah so I kind of have
this working now is is this logged out it's logged out perfect okay add screen
region this whole thing it's G to be
Inception here for a
second the middle here you do that I'll just entertain everybody with a little
mini Barnacles dancing we'll do little mini barnicles
dancing so you guys can see uh this is the thread L Tech tips and J2 giveaway
so what we're going to do is there's 373
pages so I'm going to random.org for one out of 373 so right now we are
drawing for the chance to have a chance to win something

set up so congratulations snacker and as
you guys know which has been happening with the previous giveaway that we did
for a while if he doesn't claim his prize we will probably just redraw it so

is going to be getting that prize um but
yeah we'll just redraw it so don't worry if the guy has a low Co post count I
think he only had like four post or something I know tons of people freak out about that every single time it's
almost better for you guys because there might be a second chance I love how
basically everyone in the twitch chat right now is saying that they won here I
got to join in there we go um I I have to join in on
that kind of stuff I don't know why I just always I did to oh my gosh all
right is there anything else we should talk about in here Sierra's back their their website
is all ominous now yeah go check this
out I I believe it's just sierra.com or something like thater interactive
anymore just oh okay let's see this interactive used to be one of the great
Publishers for PC gaming and just in
general to be completely honest these are Larry space Quest oh God they had
awesome games I love Sierra they like dominated the 80s and '90s
yeah they've been dead for a while now um but there's been a teaser post on
their website and um Activision is
suggesting their return at Gamescom so
we will see people are kind of wondering what Sorry Sierra Game quick favorite
alltime Sierra
game that's such a hard question I know that's a hard one
huh I'd probably have to see like a a proper
list let me see here
Sierra oh that's still a hard question dude there's so many games like so
many probably space Quest I was gonna
say the same thing space space Quest is my all-time favorite Sierra game the
whole series was hilarious yeah it's still kind of like uh I don't know but
I'm I'm going to go with space Quest that's what I loved about Sierra games though is every single one of them had a
really crude funny sense of humor like full ofos and everything it was
awesome um someone just said CS go uh I
don't think so um that's probably about
it we ended pretty much exactly on time
um I'm probably going to be having a Afterparty thing of my own today but I
don't know when it's going to start cuz I got some stuff to do because this
week's nuts I'm probably going to be streaming later on in the weekend
specifically Sunday of just me working
on projects because I'm going to be bored cuz I'm be working on projects cuz
I have to work on the weekend because lonus is taking leave because he has
like some baby or some crap that's supposed to actually matter I don't know
not into kids and you know he's not even going to do anything he's just he's
gonna sit there and play video games be like yeah I'm watching the kid and his
wife's gonna be over there like half asleep just oh my God it's going to be
horrible knowing him in all seriousness
he can't stop moving for more than like 5 minutes because he's this little tiny
ball of energy so I'm sure he'll be doing a lot um it's not he can hold the
baby because he can't physically lift that much weight so you know what's he
gonna do you know there's there's been builds in the past where I'll have to
like pick the computer up and put it on the table so they could film Boll of it because it weighs too much you're basic
you're basically like his hired muscle but then there's also the opposite when
we're installing s uh certain coolers I have to have him come in and help me
like the dark Rock Pro 3 that cooler with certain motherboards is so
ridiculous and I got called out for like doing it wrong but like dude I wasn't
doing it wrong um if if people saw I don't think we ended up including this
footage how lonus even eventually was able to do it was holding the um am I
saying this right nut the bolt is the
like screw type thing yeah I've held my nut before I think you got it right okay
so he's holding it on the side of the
screwdriver bit because the screwdriver was me magnetic so on the side and then
he like HED it into place and just got it to thread slightly and then was able
to do it because it was so hard to actually get in there with your
fingers that's what we call those expert finagler yes he was a expert finagler
and he had to help me with that and that was a complete bull crap install so we
help in both directions I am not missing build logs if you guys saw earlier in
the show there is a thread for you guys to go submit build doogs right now check
it out on the Forum we're doing a big compilation of build dogs then we will
