WEBVTT

00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:07.200
all right guys welcome to the WAN Show not the most organized one that we've

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:11.280
ever started i didn't even do my hair or change my shirt and you're like wearing

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:16.400
a firefighter shirt which is of course the the best Linus TechTip shirt of all

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:20.480
you're wearing it i know i know i I we we both failed we're both bad people

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.640
okay and this is a bad show as long as we're equally terrible i actually think

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:28.560
it's a fantastic show it's a great show we have tons of stuff you guys this week

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:33.800
we actually I we say that every week but we do have a ton of stuff this week he

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:37.760
was just at E3 which is the

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:41.280
uh adult Adult Entertainment Expo adult

00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:42.960
adult no oh oh adult i pretended to

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:48.600
misunderstand and also not know how adult was spelled which is funny because

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:55.360
Wow oh how was the trip it was It was uh Am

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:59.920
I going through everything it's a long story yeah no I don't care it was It was

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:06.479
actually pretty good the most surprising thing was that E3 is like not a presson

00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.840
event like nope not at all they have

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:11.760
signs all over the place like "Oh presson event blah blah blah blah blah."

00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:15.600
And then the lineup for will call for people that bought their tickets was the

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:19.840
longest one you know it's funny because it's like CES where it's industry blah

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:23.360
blah blah only and you walk around and like most of the people there are just

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:28.400
off the street yeah but there was actually a considerable amount of people that just bought their ticket you know

00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:32.240
how at like CES you had to like at least be friends with someone it's like no you

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:37.759
could just straight up buy your ticket and a lot of people did it like there was some mom and her like 12-year-old

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:43.759
kid that were just walking around like probably like a prodigy game dev

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:47.280
yeah that was it was Yeah that that was

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:49.680
weird and like at at PAX East when we

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:53.280
went to Oculus I was able to walk up and be like "Hey we're press can we get a

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:58.399
can we get something and they were like "Well we don't have any interview um

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:01.759
like time slots open but we can sit you down and run you through all the

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:06.000
different demos and have a guy talk to you but he just can't be on camera."

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:11.120
We're like "Okay cool e3 walk up and they're like "No press stuff wait wait

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:15.520
in line." It's like "This is a supposed to be a presson event and you have no

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:18.640
press stuff." So I had to wait in line multiple times because I couldn't even

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:21.840
like hop systems to try all the different games and stuff but then it

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:25.760
ended up being awesome because I was able to like find Palmer in the booth

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:32.080
and be like "Hey can we get an interview?" So we ended up getting like one of the best interviews at E3 that's

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:35.599
fantastic for Oculus just randomly which was great you guys have fun overall it

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:42.640
was good there was there was stuff that we don't have time to talk about which Are you releasing the blog video of the

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:44.160
hotel i don't know it's It's We're We're

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:47.120
not sure but I have footage and I might show it off on the afterparty i I get a

00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:50.400
kick out of all the people being like there's no video because I actually have

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:55.040
a preview of the stream running on my computer right now so

00:02:53.040 --> 00:03:00.000
if if there is no video then that's Yeah I think it's on your side uh all right

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:03.680
so why don't we jump right into our our hot topics of the day so I've got two

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:11.680
hot topics for you that are sort of related gta 5 is coming to the

00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:14.680
PC and um Dead Rising 3 is coming to the

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.680
PC

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:22.959
i mean that's it's good that that an exclusive franchise is moving to PC but

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:28.879
we well we have more to tell you later about why this is just the completest

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:32.239
epic fail that um it Well okay it could have been worth I don't know how much

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:39.120
worse it could be okay you go you go ahead you give some topics that we're going to talk about today uh next next

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:43.280
generation consoles are probably coming faster than we expected and that's not

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:47.599
surprising cuz the current ones are really not that strong or good at all

00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:53.519
instead of calling them next gen can we be like shampoo and call them new and

00:03:49.440 --> 00:03:55.920
improved gen next new nextG console like

00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:59.760
the the like the the Nintendo thing and then the next one can be new and

00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:03.599
improved nextG and then after that it can be like redesigned packaging which

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.720
they already do you know where they have like a Modern Warfare skin on the

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:12.959
console or whatever like they should just completely rip off shampoo and just

00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:17.600
do it that way new an enhanced formula uh and then we

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:25.199
have the mag lev keyboard because magnets yo magnets dog all right so

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.960
without further ado here is the uh the

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:32.269
Okay I'll just press it

00:04:36.880 --> 00:04:43.720

for sending Luke there see he's the one who's been saying that all week yep

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:14.639
whereas I've been focused on Highlander and the fact that there's some overlap

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:19.120
between them oh yeah that's a good point it's

00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:21.440
like what am I doing yeah yeah no that

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:26.240
was awesome we actually have a Nintendo recap video of like all of the games

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:29.840
that are coming out in terms of Wii U uh is Nintendo getting their mojo back why

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.160
don't we make that our first topic let's go

00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:37.440
nintendo's year like 100% you walk into

00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:41.440
one of the halls you see a gigantic Nintendo banner you see completely

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:45.199
vacant booths and then you see no walking space at all around the Nintendo

00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:49.120
area because it's full the press area was completely full there was lineup

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:55.120
cues to try every single like little station and the non- press area was even

00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:57.520
more full uh the the invitational stream

00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:01.720
was insane there was 100,000 people watching the Smash Bros invitational

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:06.560
before they started playing like people care they had they

00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:09.680
had Best Buys around the world had Smash Bros and people were able to go play and

00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:14.240
there was pictures of Best Buys where there was a lineup all the way around

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:18.960
the Best Buy and then down the street just to be able to play so for all the

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:23.599
doom and gloom around Nintendo and they are still losing money yep are they at

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:26.160
least recapturing their mojo i think they're recapturing their mojo they have

00:07:24.880 --> 00:07:30.479
they have stuff like Smash Bros coming which should have been here already they got Zelda coming they have that new

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:32.720
Zelda announcement which looks amazing and that should have been here already

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:38.080
there's a lot of stuff that should have been here already let's just make this the Nintendo the Nintendo uh segment so

00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:42.880
let's go through all of our Nintendo stuff so so go ahead tell give us your

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:46.720
thoughts then we'll jump into that uh Nintendo has already apparently actually

00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:51.440
no we'll move on okay whatever talk about Nintendo and then I'll jump in with other stuff they they have I in in

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:56.560
the video that's coming in like 18 minutes they have I think 11 different

00:07:53.919 --> 00:08:00.000
games like really big very important very well polished games that they could

00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:05.199
probably release today because they're all playable there right and totally

00:08:02.479 --> 00:08:10.879
smooth no problems fully playable um that were just amazing and stuff stuff

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:12.240
from Yoshi Toad uh Mario like main Mario

00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:18.160
sequence games the Mario Maker game looks amazing and I got to play with it there and it was really good um Hyrule

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:21.599
Warriors is polished and really fun uh the Zelda game looks amazing all of

00:08:20.080 --> 00:08:26.400
these big titles that probably should have come earlier um but I think it's

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:31.520
going to be okay i The hype around Nintendo at E3 was insane like the

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:34.560
PlayStation and Xbox stuff was fairly populated and stuff that you would

00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:39.680
expect to be populated like Borderlands and like Far Cry there was a fairly

00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:45.040
large lineup but the lineup to play and get like hands-on interaction with Far

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:50.160
Cry and Assassin's Creed and like Borderlands these big titles were not as

00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:54.080
big and not as engaged as anything at Nintendo including like I I can't even

00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:57.920
remember what it's called right now but some Squid Game where you like run

00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:02.800
around and paint things but it was tons of fun it's It looked super stupid but

00:09:00.640 --> 00:09:06.080
it's it's called Turf War yeah and you just run around with these paint guns

00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:08.880
and you have to like cover all the ground in paint and it's an FPS at the

00:09:07.839 --> 00:09:13.839
same time so you're covering the ground in paint to gain points and whoever has the most ground covered in their color

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:17.200
of paint at the end wins but you can kill the other guys and then they get a

00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:22.720
respawn timer and they respond in the back of their base that sounds like a lot of fun it was actually It was really

00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:27.360
competitive despite how like kind of casual filthy casual yeah totally filthy

00:09:25.760 --> 00:09:33.360
casual but it was super competitive and there was that was one of the most lined up for games splatoon that's what it was

00:09:31.040 --> 00:09:36.800
called thanks Nick yeah thanks Nick it's called Splatoon but that was that was

00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:40.959
actually so much fun and that I had never even heard of that before and that

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:45.920
was that was awesome so there's I don't know i'm scared okay what's your what's

00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:50.720
your highlight from Nintendo oh Smash Bros smash Bros was amazing and that's

00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:54.880
super boring but it was amazing neither of the people in this room gives any

00:09:52.959 --> 00:09:59.839
cares about this because neither of us ever owned a game cube did we no but I

00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:04.560
got to play with both and I got to talk to multiple people that were in the

00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:07.920
Smash Bros invitational about Smash Bros um so I have feedback on Smash Bros and

00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:11.519
the Gamecube controller and stuff i asked the guy who won the invitational

00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:17.600
who was playing with me which was super cool um what yeah I I won shut up yeah

00:10:15.839 --> 00:10:21.760
can we let you win a nice guy there was No there was two guys from the

00:10:18.880 --> 00:10:26.480
invitational and a like fairly high-end on the competitive side employee of

00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:30.320
Nintendo for Smash Bros and then me and we were all playing and the employee of

00:10:28.640 --> 00:10:33.920
Nintendo picked a super overpowered character and the two invitational guys

00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:38.560
were trying to fight him off because he had a super overpowered character and I

00:10:35.839 --> 00:10:42.560
was Kirby so I did that like you turn into a rock and smash thing and I got

00:10:40.959 --> 00:10:46.240
multiple kills that way and then ended up winning they weren't trying to focus

00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:51.279
me but because they were focusing someone else I took advantage of it and

00:10:47.920 --> 00:10:52.720
won which is fantastic nice um but yeah

00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:57.920
the the Gamecube controller and I got to talk okay you haven't actually told anyone what we're talking about so

00:10:55.640 --> 00:11:01.760
Nintendo is releasing a GameCube controller adapter for the Wii U that

00:10:59.839 --> 00:11:07.360
will allow you to plug in four Gamecube controllers I think okay couple of

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:09.440
things number one is why the hell hasn't

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:14.079
everyone been doing this all along why can't I use an Xbox 360 controller on

00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:18.959
the Xbox One if I like it better microsoft what's your problem like what

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.880
is the problem with carrying forward and back compatibility on controllers it's

00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:27.160
an artificially imposed limitation a lot of the time and it just doesn't make any

00:11:24.640 --> 00:11:33.760
sense and you know what even though Nintendo legitimately justifiably can't

00:11:30.959 --> 00:11:38.399
use GameCube controllers on the Wii U they are allowing it to happen they are

00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:44.079
facilitating it and they're making it reasonable 20ucks 20 bucks 20 bucks

00:11:42.160 --> 00:11:49.640
20ucks not even that bad i mean we're talking about the price delta between a

00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:53.600
current gen controller and a last gen controller and you're getting the

00:11:51.680 --> 00:11:57.279
adapter to use as many lastg controllers as you want i mean that is such a

00:11:55.360 --> 00:12:01.680
customerfriendly thing to do just go look yeah okay you don't like classic

00:11:59.760 --> 00:12:04.880
controller you don't like pro controller you want to use what you're familiar

00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:10.079
with what you like yes let's give it to you why isn't everyone doing this yeah

00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:13.519
and you can you can even use like the old GameCube Waveird wireless

00:12:12.079 --> 00:12:17.760
controllers that's compatible with the adapter so like they're just like yeah

00:12:15.680 --> 00:12:20.639
know it works which is fantastic i talked to the competitive guys and I

00:12:19.040 --> 00:12:24.720
tried the GameCube controller again i never had a GameCube and that controller

00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:28.720
always felt weird but playing Smash Bros with it felt right and people are

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:32.480
pointing out the original Wii had it built in by default yeah yeah you just

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:37.120
down you just pull down the flap and you can get it but I mean you can't you

00:12:34.880 --> 00:12:41.040
can't have it built in forever so I understand why they're doing it the way

00:12:38.959 --> 00:12:44.800
they're doing i just think that Microsoft and Sony could take a page out

00:12:43.040 --> 00:12:48.880
of this book where it's giving your customers the choice i mean Nintendo's

00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:51.839
actually done a good job of that even on the original Wii so you've got your Wii

00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:55.360
remote you got your classic controller you got your nunchuck and Wii remote

00:12:53.680 --> 00:13:00.160
combo you've got your Gamecube controller you can basically do things the way that you want and I think that's

00:12:57.920 --> 00:13:04.880
fantastic yeah but my my main question for them was why not the Pro Controller

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:07.920
versus the Gamecube controller and the feedback from You mean for the players

00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:13.760
for the players yes the feedback from the I'm helping you i'm keeping you on track here the feedback from the very

00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:18.160
competitive guys was the layout of the Gamecube controller is faster and more

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:21.839
efficient and also the analog stick placement like this is still layout but

00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:26.320
analog stick placement is a lot better for comboing buttons mhm and all of that

00:13:24.800 --> 00:13:30.399
totally makes sense and I kind of felt it while I was there because especially

00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:34.000
that little yellow stick you can flick that and press a button really easily

00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:37.600
right so I totally understand why you would want a GameCube controller and

00:13:35.680 --> 00:13:40.639
then they have they if you don't have old GameCube controllers and you're

00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:46.160
worried about like local stores running out they're going to be releasing what like a $30 Smash Bros gamecube

00:13:44.079 --> 00:13:49.040
controller nice i believe that's what it is so you'll be able to buy new ones if

00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:53.600
that's the case or if you want to make sure your old ones are still fine you can just buy a new one so for 150 bucks

00:13:51.839 --> 00:13:58.399
you will be able to completely kit out your Wii U and Gamecube controllers

00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:00.800
that's not bad that's That's really And if you're willing to buy controllers

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:04.160
used you can do it a lot cheaper than that yep yep definitely you can get

00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:10.480
GameCube controllers pretty cheap although I would probably do that quickly yeah really before everyone

00:14:07.839 --> 00:14:14.079
catches on to this yeah before before Gamecube controllers just start flying

00:14:11.839 --> 00:14:19.519
off shelves everywhere um but yeah that was that was a ton of fun uh what else

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:21.920
was there i got to play Hyrule Warriors

00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:26.560
um and it it was smooth i I was never a huge fan of what is it called dynasty

00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:28.480
Warriors never a Well okay i was never a

00:14:26.560 --> 00:14:32.560
huge fan because I never had it right but like it it was fun it was fun to

00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:36.880
play it's an interesting new IP for them but it does seem even with very rarely

00:14:35.040 --> 00:14:42.720
playing Dynasty Warriors I I was like "Yeah I'm I'm playing Dynasty Warriors

00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:44.320
but as Link or Zelda right which is I

00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:48.560
don't know it was kind of fun." All right let's talk about Mario Maker um so

00:14:46.880 --> 00:14:53.839
this was originally posted on the forum by Top War Gamer so thank you for that

00:14:52.240 --> 00:15:00.320
but uh your your thoughts on it you played around with it a little bit right yeah uh really really smooth and very

00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:03.040
fast extremely fast my my concern with

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:08.320
something like this is is the same as my concern with any any game that kind of

00:15:06.079 --> 00:15:13.720
goes "Hey we're giving you guys the reins." Um I like games that are

00:15:10.800 --> 00:15:18.560
designed by professional game designers um did were they allowing people to

00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:21.040
create their own levels while while you were there and were you able to play

00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:24.880
other people's levels or how was the whole experience i got to play levels of

00:15:23.199 --> 00:15:29.839
two again two of the competitive guys i was kind of going around with them for a little while um and that was kind of fun

00:15:27.760 --> 00:15:33.760
because they were making absolutely ridiculous levels right like n

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:38.399
impossible levels because they're competitive guys um and that was kind of

00:15:36.079 --> 00:15:42.160
fun but even if something's ridiculous you can you can jump into the editor at

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:45.680
any point in time of any level even levels that come stock with the game and

00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:51.600
move your character so if you're like "This part's dumb," you can just be like "I'm now here." And keep going which is

00:15:49.920 --> 00:15:55.680
actually kind of nice because one of the competitive guys accidentally made part

00:15:53.199 --> 00:15:58.800
of it impossible he he didn't realize one of the things was going to jump onto

00:15:57.040 --> 00:16:01.839
a certain thing that it did right so he was like "Oh okay whatever." And just

00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:05.279
edit his character up onto the next point and then kept going which was

00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:09.680
actually kind of nice um and you can also liveit anything so if you play one

00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:14.320
of the stock maps you can live edit it so you can like add things to make it

00:16:11.040 --> 00:16:16.399
more difficult and change things um and

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:20.000
my biggest worry was actually something that you just brought up other people's

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:24.240
levels right now they don't have it set up so that you can actually download off

00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:28.320
of a community but they were like yeah every single

00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:33.920
person pretty much who's played has suggested that right so not saying

00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:37.600
anything's going to happen but yeah and one thing that was fairly interesting

00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:41.600
about Nintendo is they had a slight indie feel the whole time where when you

00:16:39.839 --> 00:16:45.360
go to aaa place it's just like game stations where you can play and PR

00:16:43.040 --> 00:16:48.959
people yeah they had the developers for a lot of the games walking the floor

00:16:46.880 --> 00:16:53.120
talking to people that's really cool it was really cool like the the the main

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:55.440
guy behind Splatoon every single time was going around to every single person

00:16:54.399 --> 00:17:01.440
that was playing and asking them what their thoughts were after the game and like with a notepad legitimately writing

00:16:59.199 --> 00:17:06.720
things down that's fantastic i mean that's something that really I I I find

00:17:04.679 --> 00:17:10.480
differentiates one company from another one i mean we see the same thing at CES

00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:15.360
where there's certain companies you go to their booth and it's like the

00:17:13.199 --> 00:17:20.319
president or like VP of worldwide marketing or or whatever and typically

00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:23.760
it's smaller companies but seeing big ones behave like that is really and you

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:27.280
see it sometimes it's not only Nintendo but it was it was very nice to see it at

00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:33.440
No you do see it from time to time i mean even at CES we've met people like I

00:17:29.679 --> 00:17:35.919
I met uh some senior director level i

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:40.880
actually met the CEO of WD at a party last year like you do run into these

00:17:38.080 --> 00:17:43.919
people but it's usually really difficult and the fact that they were just there

00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:46.960
in the booth was actually really cool and you you'd never really know like

00:17:45.600 --> 00:17:50.400
they weren't wearing shirts that were like dev team like they had Nintendo

00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:54.880
shirts but they just kind of looked like average employees right but if you

00:17:52.080 --> 00:17:57.919
recognized them you could tell and a lot of people didn't so it was actually fine

00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:03.280
they could kind of move around freely but it was really cool to see them picking up all that feedback and even

00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:06.080
other employees they were using as like proxies essentially so those other

00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:11.120
employees would ask questions and then I saw them like they'd meet up and exchange notes and then keep going like

00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:14.080
they were really hardcore about getting feedback from people which is cool and

00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:18.559
apparently that's where the Gamecube controller thing came from right so many

00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:22.799
fans demanded a different input solution for Smash Bros when it came out but they

00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:24.960
were like "Hey we'll just make this $20 little device it solves all the

00:18:23.840 --> 00:18:30.880
problems." That's great what a great attitude yeah

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:35.120
that was like I said this was Nintendo's year they rocked E3 100% i got some

00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:39.039
really cool I don't know if I was supposed to take these but um I the

00:18:37.679 --> 00:18:42.400
voting cards from the Nintendo Invitational yes did you see how that

00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:45.919
worked when they they held up the cards no they were like this big and you voted

00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:50.559
for which character should win or whatever and it was like this book of

00:18:49.120 --> 00:18:55.360
voting cards you are such an embarrassment sometimes he has no shame

00:18:53.520 --> 00:18:59.360
when it comes to swag like I I've been in the industry a long time and

00:18:57.840 --> 00:19:02.799
companies will be like "Here do you want the swag bag at our booth?" And I'm like

00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:08.240
"No it's okay i really I don't even have anywhere to put this stuff at this point." And he's like he's going to be

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:12.480
like "Oh uh yeah I'll take it." Also I'll have Linuses do you have any other

00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:17.120
stuff do you have any stuff that's just a part of your actual booth fixture that

00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:20.720
I can just take it i've tried that before it's worked before you know

00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:24.240
what's funny though um and let's move on to uh let's move on to our Did you have

00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:29.520
anything else particularly for Nintendo cuz I've got a great segment uh the other stuff would just be in the video

00:19:27.520 --> 00:19:32.960
which is up in like 7 minutes so be sure to check that out all right so let's

00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:37.679
move on to speaking of booth swag the designed by Razer licensing program this

00:19:35.919 --> 00:19:41.840
was officially posted or originally posted by Lafere on the Linus Tech Tips

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:45.840
forum thank you very much for that i'm going to switch over to my screen here

00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:50.600
and oh there it goes that was interesting so this is the Razer Special

00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:57.679
Edition H440 it is basically an NZXT H440 but

00:19:55.360 --> 00:20:04.000
with what are they calling it a special edition H440 for gamers by gamers

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:06.880
designed by Razer H440

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:10.600
oh it's probably this adapter yes it is technostream

00:20:11.679 --> 00:20:18.240
oh now stop well I'm holding it now um anyway so

00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:24.799
this is it's got like a designed by Razer badge um right here and that's

00:20:21.679 --> 00:20:26.799
pretty cool um but truthfully that that

00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:31.600
this case isn't the big news to me the big news here is more collaboration

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:36.559
between brands like this i think that's a very positive thing i mean aesthetics

00:20:33.520 --> 00:20:38.000
are definitely a factor for me when I'm

00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:45.200
building a rig and I think they're a factor for a lot of people although it's hard to tell with you but aesthetics are

00:20:41.919 --> 00:20:46.640
definitely a thing i mean as much as you

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:50.320
know what we don't owe the big corporations anything we don't have to

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:54.720
put their logos all over our chests and all over our stuff but if you really

00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:59.280
like what someone and if that is a company is doing that and you really are

00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:04.080
driven to put their their branding on stuff and that makes you feel cool then

00:21:01.679 --> 00:21:07.679
I think stuff like this is great um they haven't changed anything really no like

00:21:06.159 --> 00:21:10.880
let's be truthful about this they put a logo on the front they changed the color

00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:16.200
scheme they put some lighting effects in it but that's about it it's still an H440 but what I like about this is the

00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:22.080
H440 is a great case so now it's available in black and

00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:27.039
green that's cool yeah I'm down with that anyway so on to stealing things

00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:32.080
from booths um one of the ones that was in NZXT's booth that's like an early

00:21:29.120 --> 00:21:36.720
mockup they're sending it here oh oh I thought it got stolen i was like I

00:21:33.600 --> 00:21:38.000
didn't take this don't look at me no no

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:43.039
they're uh they're going to tear it down after the show and then they're going to send it to us so that we can our next

00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.200
build guide that we film not the one that's coming out this weekend by the

00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:49.360
way there's a build guide coming out this weekend the next one that we film

00:21:47.360 --> 00:21:52.640
is going to be uh a green and black themed rig in this case cool that'll be

00:21:51.919 --> 00:21:58.240
good we're going to have a pre-production it does look nice and because the green LEDs are very dark and

00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:03.120
there's like the kind of blackout tint on the window a little bit it's this like deep kind of moody green which

00:22:01.919 --> 00:22:06.960
actually looks pretty good i'm working on sourcing a bunch of like cool green

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:10.799
themed stuff to put in it that that sniper with the I don't know what it's

00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:15.200
called but not red line cuz it's green line gigabytes new boards aren't green

00:22:13.760 --> 00:22:20.000
what and this is going to be a Devil's Canyon system so I'd rather use a Z97

00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:23.679
board if I can yeah bummer so I'm planning to use a

00:22:21.840 --> 00:22:26.880
saber-tooth just because at least it's just black yep and then I'm going to get

00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:29.919
some green memory we're probably going to paint memory anyway I'm giving away

00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:34.880
I'm giving away too much the next build guide in that case is going to be freaking awesome um speaking of Devil's

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:38.159
Canyon I think that leads pretty well into the Pentium

00:22:38.600 --> 00:22:44.559
KG3258 cryptically named um but the

00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:48.400
results are looking pretty impressive this was originally posted by the

00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:53.600
magical maniac on the Linus Tech Tips forum original article here is from

00:22:50.600 --> 00:22:56.360
BitTech and this processor looks like

00:22:53.600 --> 00:23:01.840
the spiritual successor to the Pentium D85 which basically means we are looking

00:22:59.280 --> 00:23:07.840
at some pretty kick-ass stuff going on here the D85 was a dual core processor

00:23:05.840 --> 00:23:14.159
it consumed a bunch of power whereas this one won't um it was very very low

00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:20.080
clocked out of the box which this one is but what kicked butt about the Pendium

00:23:15.840 --> 00:23:23.280
V85 was it overclocked like nuts that

00:23:20.080 --> 00:23:26.000
thing was cheap and it was a fantastic

00:23:23.280 --> 00:23:32.320
value and at the time that was Intel's response to a very competitive AMD where

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:35.360
Intel was basically like hm okay we have

00:23:32.320 --> 00:23:38.799
to do something because our chips are

00:23:35.360 --> 00:23:41.360
just not worth that much right now so

00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:44.400
they came up with the Pennium G85 they removed some features like it didn't

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:48.240
have all the same stuff that something like a 930 well what did they call them

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:53.440
yeah I think it was a 930 or something like that anyway it didn't have all the same features but it overclocked like a

00:23:51.919 --> 00:23:58.400
bat out of hell and it was a chip of choice for gamers this looks like it's

00:23:56.080 --> 00:24:04.159
going to be pretty much the same thing so we've seen people reporting

00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:06.640
overclocks from 3.2 to 4.5 GHz like I

00:24:04.159 --> 00:24:12.799
said before it is only a dual core but in games that are not dependent on heavy

00:24:10.159 --> 00:24:16.960
uh on on heavily threaded processors with you know hyperthreading and four or

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:20.880
six or eight cores this thing is going to absolutely kick butt so they're

00:24:19.360 --> 00:24:24.880
showing what kind of performance increases you can see uh with it it

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:28.480
shows what kind of performance it has i'm seeing some reports although it's

00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:34.240
not in this particular article that we could be looking at similar to 4770K

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:39.400
performance with this chip especially in games where we're not bound by how many

00:24:37.360 --> 00:24:43.919
processing cores that we have so looks pretty good pretty good pretty

00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:49.200
good that is actually really interesting but I've had people And it does have hyperthreading by the way two cores two

00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:54.880
threads so just like a Core i3 but unlocked and overclockable yeah

00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:56.880
yeah okay

00:24:54.880 --> 00:25:01.120
what else we got there's like everything this week uh should we talk about GTA 5

00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:05.120
and that other game sure sure that shall remain nameless let's do GTA 5 first all

00:25:03.520 --> 00:25:09.919
right so this was originally posted on the Linus Tech Tips forum by a skew

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:12.880
thank you for that you're awesome yay shout outs for all the people who post

00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:17.760
news on the Linus Tech Tips forum you guys are

00:25:14.520 --> 00:25:20.799
awesome anyway um original article was

00:25:17.760 --> 00:25:23.200
from eurogamer.net gta 5 is coming to

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:27.000
the PC PS4 and Xbox One and at least two of those three I think we kind of saw

00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:31.200
coming but yeah

00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:37.679
uh yeah you're going to be able to transfer your online saves which will be interesting but I haven't heard anything

00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:41.600
on campaign transfer uh this is actually kind of the reason why I quit playing

00:25:39.840 --> 00:25:47.120
back when I had a roommate we had it for Xbox 360 and uh I stopped like pretty

00:25:45.679 --> 00:25:51.120
early in because I was like "This is an awesome game." But I'm gonna wait

00:25:49.679 --> 00:25:54.320
because I hope it'll come to PC eventually i'm surprised it took them a

00:25:52.799 --> 00:26:00.720
year i hope that's because they're optimizing it because on launch GTA 4

00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:02.279
was like completely poo that's basically

00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:07.200
all I have to say about it it performed terribly um but they've again they've

00:26:05.600 --> 00:26:11.559
taken a year and I think the platform architecture is going to be a lot more similar than last time so hopefully that

00:26:10.080 --> 00:26:16.640
helps them as well um apparently there will be existing

00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:20.960
like the the existing add-on content for GTA V will be kind of bundled in it

00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:25.600
there's going to be upgraded AI for the PC version even compared to Xbox One and

00:26:23.760 --> 00:26:29.679
PS4 which will be really cool they're going to have improved things like draw

00:26:27.080 --> 00:26:34.640
distances textures denser traffic wildlife uh upgraded weather upgraded

00:26:31.840 --> 00:26:38.640
damage effects and tons of other crap which is absolutely fantastic i hope it

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:42.080
is extremely moddable they're going to have a movie maker but mods are

00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:49.120
something I am pretty interested in because you saw like Icy

00:26:44.520 --> 00:26:52.480
Enhance if he comes back and does GTA 5

00:26:49.120 --> 00:26:54.640
like please it's amazing you did an

00:26:52.480 --> 00:27:00.720
incredibly good job with GTA 4 but we need you again sir or Madame but I'm

00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:02.720
assuming sir um yeah that would be that

00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:05.200
would be great i don't really know what else to say that would be great that

00:27:04.159 --> 00:27:09.440
would be great if you could just come back and do all that work that would be great

00:27:08.080 --> 00:27:14.240
yeah because like you can you can look at GTA 4 screenshots from that guy that

00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:18.240
look better than like any game that's released now which is ridiculous but

00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:23.600
yeah that would be great and then there's the Dead Rising 3 super cool

00:27:22.080 --> 00:27:26.480
announcement that turned out to be not super cool at all okay so hold on so

00:27:25.360 --> 00:27:31.360
let's start with the good things about this so number one is that consumers and

00:27:29.360 --> 00:27:36.080
I encourage people to do this all the time if you're unhappy about something

00:27:33.600 --> 00:27:40.400
if you're all buttth hurt don't give people your money if you don't like what

00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:48.000
people are doing don't give them your money so I don't know why Dead Rising 3

00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:49.840
is coming to PC um it wasn't supposed to

00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:53.120
it might have something yeah well I know it wasn't supposed to do we have the

00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:59.679
link to It's not coming to PC and then the link way down way down yeah hold on

00:27:55.760 --> 00:28:02.080
f Dead Rising no no that's control

00:27:59.679 --> 00:28:08.480
bookmark stop it control bookmark

00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:10.880
screw you hippie okay so uh

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:15.600
find it yeah it's not there whatever anyway so the original the original

00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:19.440
story was I mean with GTA 5 the rumors have kind of been out there for a long

00:28:17.120 --> 00:28:22.960
time um and they've never officially denied it they've never said "No it's

00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:26.720
not coming to PC." With Dead Rising 3 it was not supposed to come to PC so

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:32.159
whether it's because Xbox One isn't selling that well um which would be you

00:28:29.679 --> 00:28:36.000
know a definite sort of good job guys for not buying things that you're not

00:28:34.159 --> 00:28:40.240
happy with uh so whether it's that or whether it's something else whether it's

00:28:37.679 --> 00:28:45.200
you know um you know Microsoft kind of going hey well we want more Xbox One

00:28:43.120 --> 00:28:49.440
content on PC because we really are committed to that um although I really

00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:55.360
doubt it's the second one it's a great thing to see more exclusive uh console

00:28:52.720 --> 00:29:00.960
franchises coming to the PC but then they went and they just wrecked it uh

00:28:59.600 --> 00:29:06.399
one thing before we get into how they wrecked it there's a quote saying definitely not a timed exclusive it's an

00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:11.880
Xbox One game we see a lot of this online it's not coming to PS4 or PC yeah

00:29:09.840 --> 00:29:16.159
that was like months ago lol

00:29:13.760 --> 00:29:19.840
well uh but yeah so they've they've they've frame capped it to 30 FPS and

00:29:18.159 --> 00:29:24.720
they have a warning on it so that if you can take that cap off which is nice i I

00:29:23.520 --> 00:29:32.200
guess I don't think you've put enough emphasis on it they frame capped it at

00:29:27.600 --> 00:29:32.200
30 FPS on the PC

00:29:33.600 --> 00:29:39.279
yeah and like I said you can take it off but there's a giant warning saying like

00:29:37.840 --> 00:29:44.399
"We're not responsible for what happens if you do this." and they fully expect the game's just going to completely

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:50.000
break if you do that so the physics is act it actually works based on the frame

00:29:47.159 --> 00:29:53.360
rate so it's what what Need for Speed game I don't remember which one but I

00:29:51.919 --> 00:29:58.080
was just going to say you could double how fast your car was going by making

00:29:55.600 --> 00:30:01.279
your FPS go from 30 to 60 and like we're going to have these problems with Dead

00:29:59.120 --> 00:30:05.679
Rising and that's super stupid how lazy is that incredibly lazy there's there's

00:30:03.600 --> 00:30:09.600
a quote in the Oculus video where I have an interview with Palmer where I'm

00:30:07.120 --> 00:30:12.559
talking to him about 30 FPS versus other higher frame rates because for VR you're

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:20.200
going to need way higher frame rates than 30 FPS um where he says 30 FPS

00:30:15.760 --> 00:30:20.200
isn't a design choice it's a failure

00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:27.120
yay like yeah no but just how lazy is it

00:30:24.399 --> 00:30:31.840
to tie your in-game physics to I know a dev on the team frame rate which is like

00:30:29.600 --> 00:30:31.840
oh

00:30:32.760 --> 00:30:38.039
god I'm sorry but it's terrible

00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:46.399
um I don't Yeah that's really

00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:48.000
lazy like I get it but it's lazy i mean

00:30:46.399 --> 00:30:55.520
we're talking we're talking stuff that we solved like you know back in the 90s

00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:58.559
like problems that on the PC we were

00:30:55.520 --> 00:31:01.840
like "Oh yeah in Goose when I press the

00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:03.919
turbo button on my like 386 it goes too

00:31:01.840 --> 00:31:07.840
fast oh I guess we better address this." Yeah like we This was This was a problem

00:31:06.159 --> 00:31:11.279
for a little while with older games where they had no ability to really

00:31:09.360 --> 00:31:14.559
foresee this well they could but didn't really think about it and then it went

00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:18.559
away for a long time and now it's back it's like why are you back should not be

00:31:16.320 --> 00:31:22.960
a thing why are you back shouldn't be a thing at all i hope we see more ports i

00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:27.919
hope we see ports that come over to the PC correctly i hope uh Dante or whatever

00:31:26.159 --> 00:31:31.039
his or however you pronounce his name fixes this because that would be

00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:34.799
fantastic there's so many things in the announcements of like stuff coming to PC

00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:39.600
where I'm like I hope this one super well-known modder guy comes back and

00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:39.600
fixes everything for

00:31:40.120 --> 00:31:46.320
us i really hope so ah that would be

00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:48.480
fantastic i mean I the thing I like

00:31:46.320 --> 00:31:52.559
about this generation of PCs is that the way that they're built is so much more

00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:56.240
similar did I say PCs cuz I meant consoles sorry consoles is that the way

00:31:54.799 --> 00:32:02.559
that they're built is so much more similar to a PC that porting should be

00:31:59.320 --> 00:32:06.960
easier and uh well mostly that porting

00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:08.640
should be easier and but there are a lot

00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:12.799
of issues with it too and I think that that's something

00:32:10.120 --> 00:32:17.919
that the console makers are very well aware of so the original post poster for

00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:22.559
this on the forum was Joners and the original article is from Techraar but

00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:28.159
that is the the headline here is the next generation of consoles could come

00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:33.279
much sooner than expected so and this is from AMD so remember these are the guys

00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:37.440
that are making the CPU and the GPU in both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One

00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:40.240
and the Wii U i said both because I forgot there are three i'm sorry

00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:43.519
Nintendo you're still cool really you Well Nintendo we just said you won E3

00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:48.640
i'm sorry they don't really get dropped under the next console thing because

00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:54.640
they came out way before that 30% less improved 30% less the next gen except

00:32:52.320 --> 00:33:00.720
their games are coming out 1080p 60 FPS i know right so like owned and you know

00:32:57.679 --> 00:33:04.480
what correct i I think getting wrapped

00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:06.240
up in in having to deliver okay this

00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:12.159
this is kind of funny because we did a fastest possible on um what was it

00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:16.240
refresh rates nope not that one frame uh on

00:33:13.399 --> 00:33:21.440
um resolution while you were gone so we did a fastest possible on resolution and

00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:27.679
I was getting sample footage of Far Cry 3 running at 720p maximum like

00:33:25.360 --> 00:33:32.640
everything on ultra and 1080p with everything on minimum to go okay here's

00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:35.679
an extreme example of how level of

00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:39.279
detail versus resolution affects how a

00:33:35.679 --> 00:33:41.200
game looks and in between switching from

00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:46.640
720p uh right 720p maximum to 1080p not I

00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:54.880
increased the resolution first and then I turned all the details off and I was

00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:57.480
like you know if I pixel peep I can tell

00:33:54.880 --> 00:34:04.080
but if I'm not looking that close like I just got a lot of performance and

00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:05.519
it really doesn't look that different

00:34:04.080 --> 00:34:11.040
so I'm kind of sitting here going like if you if you tailor your art style

00:34:08.520 --> 00:34:14.639
correctly there isn't really a good reason why you can't turn off some of

00:34:12.720 --> 00:34:18.159
the goofy effects and get a better frame rate and deliver what is in my mind a

00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:22.520
much more playable experience i mean playing something like Mario Kart at

00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:28.000
30fps 900p like the first thing I would tell

00:34:25.200 --> 00:34:32.320
Nintendo is like come on man how are we supposed to play like that and yet

00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:36.240
competitive gamers accept this on other consoles anyway this is it's actually to

00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:40.320
throw back again to the Nintendo video that just came out 9 minutes ago in part

00:34:38.240 --> 00:34:44.320
of that I bring up about how like Wii U is really not the most powerful platform

00:34:42.399 --> 00:34:48.399
no it's really not but they know that and they design the games and tailor the

00:34:46.720 --> 00:34:52.320
games for that and the art style of the games and everything still looks great

00:34:50.560 --> 00:34:56.720
like have you have you seen the Zelda stuff no I haven't oh my god it looks

00:34:54.800 --> 00:35:02.320
really good but then it's because it's their style yeah it's like the whole

00:34:59.200 --> 00:35:04.560
Blizzard thing yeah Warcraft 3 is a very

00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:09.760
visually pleasing game i mean it's got polygons that have like you know six

00:35:07.040 --> 00:35:14.320
sides it's like this is a sword don't look too close

00:35:12.560 --> 00:35:18.160
but it looks good because it's a style and they're pulling off a specific style

00:35:16.240 --> 00:35:24.800
and it works really well but it Yes and I'm okay with that um and and with that

00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:26.400
said I do I do like that you know we're

00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:29.599
pushing the envelope graphics wise definitely but I'm I'm more okay with

00:35:27.839 --> 00:35:33.200
that on the PC end where where we can actually have the performance to do it

00:35:31.520 --> 00:35:38.240
anyway we're actually good i wonder what the backstory here is but AMD is hinting

00:35:35.680 --> 00:35:43.359
that the console developers are even further along than Wii the end users

00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:48.320
might expect um Nintendo has apparently already clearly confirmed that they have

00:35:46.560 --> 00:35:52.640
a clear idea they did this a few months ago of what the Wii U successor will

00:35:50.160 --> 00:36:00.560
look like and I gotta wonder like did AMD tell these guys yo dog you know it's

00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:02.000
maybe another 20 30 bucks in bomb cost

00:36:00.560 --> 00:36:06.000
but you really need to put a better chip in these things you need to you need

00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:08.480
better graphics hardware in these things please let us build something better for

00:36:07.200 --> 00:36:13.920
you like I wonder if they're just kind of sitting there laughing going "Okay

00:36:10.560 --> 00:36:16.079
well I guess we

00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:20.240
um but it really does feel like they just screwed it up graphics hardware

00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:25.599
wise." And like I said we've got a really interesting video coming probably in a couple of weeks u where we're going

00:36:23.680 --> 00:36:30.320
to take a look at how much more power it really takes to go from one resolution

00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:34.720
to another resolution and deliver the same graphical fidelity yeah or from uh

00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:39.760
certain frame rate to another frame rate yeah so so stay tuned for that that's

00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:41.040
actually going to be pretty cool um what

00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:46.560
else we got should we get into one of our like rapid fire stuff uh sure yeah

00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:53.440
this is kind of cool okay so this is and it was originally posted on the forum

00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:55.040
by D forum nope not a forum not a forum

00:36:53.440 --> 00:37:04.119
thread i think I saw it on the forum actually but whatever um this

00:36:58.200 --> 00:37:08.680
370in TV costs 1.6 million

00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:12.160
US1 million pounds um it's

00:37:08.680 --> 00:37:15.160
actually it's the Titan Zeus and you can

00:37:12.160 --> 00:37:20.520
see you can see the in the picture here

00:37:15.160 --> 00:37:20.520
like these are trees you know

00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:31.920
uh there's there's no word on the actual image quality it's a 4K TV um so 370 in

00:37:28.240 --> 00:37:34.480
works out to about 8 m wide by 5 m tall

00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:38.000
and there's only been one sold to a private owner who wants to remain

00:37:35.839 --> 00:37:45.280
anonymous that we know of so far although some people have seen it at uh

00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:47.119
at the the at a at film festivals or and

00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:52.000
apparently they will also be showing oh they'll be showing World Cup matches on

00:37:48.640 --> 00:37:54.320
it so they are you can find them in

00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:59.920
certain places but other than that this just looks like uh a because we can type

00:37:56.720 --> 00:38:03.599
of thing at at even at 4K what is the

00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:05.680
PPI of this thing i know at 8 m x 5 m

00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:10.800
okay just for you personally let's say they cost the same let's say both

00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:14.599
solutions are $1,000 okay would you want a TV or a projector

00:38:15.680 --> 00:38:21.520
bearing in mind a projector is not going to perform that well in in a bright

00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:24.079
environment probably a projector but it's not in the way like you can mount

00:38:23.040 --> 00:38:28.000
it somewhere else that's what I mean like cuz like this thing is just I'd be

00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:33.119
so worried about it getting destroyed all the time right

00:38:31.520 --> 00:38:37.280
moving that anywhere is going to be terrible like they're saying they they've been to different shows and

00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:41.280
stuff the first thing that popped in my mind is like how intricate the shipping

00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:44.079
process must have been right yeah because holy crap and then it's a

00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:49.200
projector you just throw it in a box it's like okay cool at that size I would

00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:53.440
probably go for a projector and because I don't know like you can even see there

00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:57.119
it's kind of black around the TV you're probably if where are you going to put

00:38:55.440 --> 00:39:01.119
this in a house and if it's outside you're it's probably going to be at night 8 mters by 5 meters i'm just

00:38:59.920 --> 00:39:07.680
trying to think where would you put this in a house like that's Although if you're buying a million dollar TV maybe

00:39:04.560 --> 00:39:09.680
you can put this in a house right yeah

00:39:07.680 --> 00:39:13.560
that's that's really big i mean 8 m that's like 25 ft

00:39:14.720 --> 00:39:21.599
i I guess you could like you would have to build a room for it yeah but then

00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:26.400
again at a million dollars you could even like a baller house where there's

00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:30.960
like you know a basketball court we're talking like you're converting your

00:39:27.680 --> 00:39:33.280
basketball court

00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:38.160
it's kind of a big deal actually but then at a million dollars you're kind of

00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:45.520
probably a big deal so I don't know yeah I Or the son of a big deal either way uh

00:39:41.839 --> 00:39:50.320
oh Ghost is Ghost says it's 11.91 pixels

00:39:45.520 --> 00:39:52.000
per inch which is sort of terrible

00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:55.839
that's really not good i mean you're going to have to sit like like drive in

00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:59.760
theater distance away from the So that that makes that room a lot more

00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:06.000
difficult to set up i mean at a certain point and I I I think that this point

00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:08.480
really is 55 in at a certain point does

00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:13.040
a bigger TV even make any sense or are you better off just sitting closer to a

00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:17.520
smaller TV you have to you have to wonder about room design like in in some

00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:23.599
houses it's going to be pretty far throw distance what's what's the proper throw

00:40:19.839 --> 00:40:26.240
distance for 55 in TV i can't remember

00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:30.079
uh is this retina.com has sort of a measurement of of what pixel densities

00:40:28.560 --> 00:40:36.000
will look like what will look like retina from certain distances but 55 is

00:40:33.680 --> 00:40:40.320
pretty big for a reasonable size room whereas I think you could probably go

00:40:37.520 --> 00:40:45.599
you could push 60 70 for something like more like a home theater like media room

00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:50.079
but even then like you'd probably want to go projector because you're going to build a proper media room at that point

00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:52.880
anyway and then you can throw like a nice 100 inch or whatever else and you

00:40:51.680 --> 00:40:56.720
can do it on the cheap you can do it for a few And if you're building a media

00:40:55.200 --> 00:41:01.839
room you can probably control the lighting yes so it's probably fine and I

00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:08.319
would spend I would spend my million dollars on like the most badass seating

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:13.920
instead like with like poop holes built into each seat so you never have to move

00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:18.640
and like Well no okay look so the way it would work is you'd have a constant

00:41:16.160 --> 00:41:23.119
you'd have a constant suction from somewhere outside of the room so that

00:41:20.560 --> 00:41:26.319
the smell of the poo would never actually reach the other people and then

00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:31.280
what you could do is you could turn the suction off so that your butt doesn't get cold the entire time that you're

00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:39.680
sitting there you have heated seats genius right the best idea ever no

00:41:35.520 --> 00:41:41.359
but So was that like a you're a loser

00:41:39.680 --> 00:41:44.960
did you have you seen the Rockat video that I released i haven't watched it yet

00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:50.000
i'm familiar with the keyboard though yeah it is actually pretty interesting and I I've seen quite because my the mo

00:41:48.880 --> 00:41:55.680
the main reason why I want to see that video is so many people ask about wireless keyboards and as it's not

00:41:52.800 --> 00:42:00.480
technically just a wireless keyboard sorry someone just posted in Twitch chat

00:41:57.200 --> 00:42:02.560
he put thought into this no that was off

00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:07.040
the top of my head thank you though sorry go ahead

00:42:05.200 --> 00:42:10.640
wow johnny says "Why are we watching this?"

00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:14.240
Little do we know go back to Linus' house is this like in a dark room

00:42:12.560 --> 00:42:18.000
there's this blue schematic up on the wall

00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:23.599
i have like all these whiteboards yeah yeah yeah what if this would work we

00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:27.440
could apply suction in exactly this way if we if we wire the pipes together we

00:42:25.520 --> 00:42:31.520
can just have one big vacuum that's terrible sorry tell me about the rocket

00:42:29.040 --> 00:42:36.319
thing it's wireless it's mechanical it's It's pretty cool my My biggest worry was

00:42:34.160 --> 00:42:40.480
that like it it has a built-in mouse pad and built-in wrist rest and those are

00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:44.000
just going to get insta destroyed yes um but it's supposed to be modular you're

00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:49.440
supposed to be put be able to replace them i hope that it's not like this

00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:54.800
crazy proprietary insanely expensive solution in terms of modularity yeah it

00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:58.960
probably is probably is um but yeah so I mean it looks pretty cool it's like it's

00:42:56.400 --> 00:43:02.480
like a desk keyboard mouse pad thing that's designed to bring gaming to the

00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:08.000
couch better than most other desk keyboard mouse pad things that I've seen before other than potentially the couch

00:43:05.520 --> 00:43:12.000
master but then that's like a The couch master's bulky yeah um the couch master

00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:15.119
is multiple pieces so it's really not that elegant it's It's a very different

00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:19.839
solution though from this one yeah so it's good in certain situations but it's

00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:24.960
giant so I don't know it's up to you all right h Oh I was I was just thinking I

00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:29.520
was like "Oh we should we should game tonight for after party." But the uh the

00:43:27.200 --> 00:43:33.599
wife and kid my my wife gets off early so and then I didn't see the baby

00:43:31.200 --> 00:43:37.839
yesterday so I guess speaking of the baby I got to feed him somehow so here

00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:41.319
come our sponsors oh that's the wrong thing sorry i didn't mean to do that

00:43:39.520 --> 00:43:49.040
okay so first up that's that's packs what am I What am

00:43:44.720 --> 00:43:51.599
I doing oh like yay

00:43:49.040 --> 00:43:55.760
we got there all right I'm let I'm going to let you thank the E3 sponsors thank

00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:59.280
you to HyperX they brought us down to their whole HyperX offices and we got to

00:43:57.680 --> 00:44:04.640
do an office tour and that was actually that was Did you Did you see that one part yeah I don't watch your videos uh

00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:09.599
there was they have a 5v5 gaming land room set up okay I saw that part of it

00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:13.839
ridiculous yeah that man those chairs man oh my Oh and they're they're really

00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:17.920
really comfortable chairs i got to sit in one for a little while um that was

00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:21.359
really cool uh right off camera in the gaming land room they have a constantly

00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:24.319
stocked Monster fridge full of Monster Energy drinks hold on i have a

00:44:22.720 --> 00:44:29.040
correction by the way back to that Pentium K anniversary edition it is two

00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:33.760
cores two threads no hyperthreading sorry okay go ahead okay just saw that

00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:36.880
um yeah that was pretty cool that helped me because I hadn't slept when I was

00:44:35.200 --> 00:44:40.240
filming those Kingston videos all three of the Kingston videos i changed shirts

00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:44.880
so it looked like different days but it was all all within the same little bit

00:44:42.240 --> 00:44:49.040
of but it was in a range of like 30 to 34 hours that I'd been awake for filming

00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:52.560
those videos so we walk into the land room and there's a monster fridge and

00:44:50.319 --> 00:44:56.640
I'm like you know what's hilarious is I actually

00:44:54.480 --> 00:45:01.119
got a message from Kingston that specifically said uh yeah it's amazing

00:44:59.359 --> 00:45:04.240
how your team was great they were super awesome they were really professional

00:45:02.720 --> 00:45:08.000
especially considering how little sleep they had

00:45:06.160 --> 00:45:13.119
so thanks to Kingston for sending us down there also huge thanks to Corsair

00:45:10.720 --> 00:45:17.440
and NCIX for sending us down there Corsair specifically wants us to

00:45:15.040 --> 00:45:21.119
highlight the heck out of their new RGB keyboards which of course they don't

00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:26.240
have to tell us to do no we've done that a lot cuz we we we heart we heart the

00:45:23.359 --> 00:45:29.760
RGB keyboards all the way and then NCIX asked us to specifically call out what a

00:45:28.240 --> 00:45:33.599
great value we think that buying a gaming rig from NCIX is and I think we

00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:37.200
can both get on board that because compared to 50ucksucks compared to

00:45:35.359 --> 00:45:39.920
buying a boutique rig or compared to building it yourself there's a

00:45:38.640 --> 00:45:45.440
compelling value here because you get all the parts for the same price as it would cost to buy them off the shelf or

00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:48.480
online from some other retailer they do price match so you literally can get

00:45:47.200 --> 00:45:53.680
them for the same price as another retailer then they assemble it for you

00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:57.359
for 50 bucks and that 50 bucks includes a one-year return to depot warranty that

00:45:55.680 --> 00:46:02.240
includes troubleshooting and North American tech

00:45:59.240 --> 00:46:03.440
support for your system so yeah yeah i

00:46:02.240 --> 00:46:09.599
personally know people that are actually really good at building computers that are just way too lazy and have paid the

00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:14.400
50 bucks yep and they straight up and they do a pretty good job you know it's

00:46:11.359 --> 00:46:16.720
not it's not like old school voodoo PC

00:46:14.400 --> 00:46:19.839
origami cabling it it isn't and they're not individually sle every wire that's

00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:27.200
not what you're getting what you're getting is a professionally installed computer that is 50 bucks so like it's

00:46:25.520 --> 00:46:30.560
Yeah it's actually not that bad when when I was first told I used to build

00:46:28.640 --> 00:46:33.800
computers for people for like I think it was like 75 and I heard NX was doing it

00:46:32.560 --> 00:46:39.359
for 50 and I was like "Oh I I really hope this doesn't get

00:46:36.240 --> 00:46:42.240
out." All right so our next sponsor call

00:46:39.359 --> 00:46:49.599
out and this one is a huge deal this time next week I will be getting ready

00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:52.160
to get on a plane and go climb the uh

00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:55.839
second highest mountain in the uh in the lower 48 wait are we having a win show

00:46:54.480 --> 00:47:03.040
uh yeah there will be a land show he said this time next week I'll be getting ready a win show well readyish are we

00:47:00.720 --> 00:47:06.240
streaming oh just calm down anyway there's there's W show next week so

00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:12.480
we're going to be uh we're going to be preparing to hike Mount Elbert with a

00:47:09.359 --> 00:47:13.599
huge group uh hopefully huge people just

00:47:12.480 --> 00:47:17.760
they got to confirm and get their tickets booked but Austin Evans has his

00:47:15.520 --> 00:47:23.599
ticket booked he's coming logan from Tech Syndicate is co-hosting the event

00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:28.240
with us so this is a 100% collaborative project between Linus Tech Tips and Tech

00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:31.920
Syndicate so they're going to have Kane there from their team they're going to

00:47:29.839 --> 00:47:36.560
have How many times should we ask Kane about his glasses on camera zero

00:47:35.040 --> 00:47:43.119
all right so the tech syndicate team's going to be there paul and Kyle from Newegg might be there and then TLD today

00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:47.359
and tech of tomorrow so Jonathan and Elrich are like pretty much 100% going

00:47:46.160 --> 00:47:52.720
to be there so it's going to be an all-star cast of guys going up and

00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:57.040
having a land at the top of the mountain peak it's going to be freaking awesome

00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:59.920
and ASUS is making this possible with their I don't want to say too much about

00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:06.480
it because I don't know how much information is out there but with a really cool gaming notebook some people

00:48:03.359 --> 00:48:08.800
know PE uh I'm not Yeah let's just leave

00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:12.400
it for now because I'm I'm not 100% sure so really cool gaming notebook Intel is

00:48:10.720 --> 00:48:17.200
in on the action as well so these will be Core i7 powered gaming notebooks and

00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:21.440
finally Corsair is making us hike to the top of a mountain carrying RGB keyboards

00:48:19.680 --> 00:48:25.119
we're very thankful to Corsair for being involved in making this event possible

00:48:23.680 --> 00:48:29.520
but I really wish I didn't have to carry a mechanical keyboard with an aluminum

00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:32.559
back plate up a mountain but it's going to be awesome guys there's going to be

00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:36.960
some great content coming out of this some collabs some vlogs so be excited

00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:41.040
for that and a huge thanks to those guys someone in the chat just said "Hey

00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:44.960
guys." Hey guys welcome to the world's highest land party

00:48:43.359 --> 00:48:50.640
when I I This is the first time I would have like formally met Lou or Austin oh

00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:52.400
yeah e3 yeah and I was like semi-

00:48:50.640 --> 00:48:56.480
disappointed that right when I walked a walked up Austin wasn't like "Hey guys."

00:48:55.119 --> 00:49:00.960
I was really hoping that was going to happen oh I love trolling him about that

00:48:58.319 --> 00:49:06.480
it's so fun so fun the the the video that he posted on his channel from CES

00:49:03.920 --> 00:49:10.960
with him uh Dimmitri Dmitri from Hardware Connects I think it was me and

00:49:09.359 --> 00:49:14.880
MKBHD um he's he like wanted everyone to

00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:21.880
introduce themselves and I'm like "Hey guys it's me Lionus from Lionus Tech

00:49:17.359 --> 00:49:21.880
Tips." And Austin's just like "No."

00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:27.680
That's great oh he's a good guy i'm really looking forward to this trip it's

00:49:25.839 --> 00:49:32.319
gonna be a lot of fun that was awesome did you Did you know that we posted a

00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:36.800
video on L's channel no nick myself Brandon Austin were all in a video on

00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:41.760
L's channel oh that's cool it's uh we got to check out the possibly a

00:49:39.160 --> 00:49:47.599
prototype like they're using it for case manufacturing iPhone 6 oo yeah and he

00:49:45.520 --> 00:49:51.760
like he dropped it on the table while already filming and we're all just like

00:49:49.359 --> 00:49:55.520
what what is this and he like told us what it was on film and then we have all

00:49:53.359 --> 00:50:01.040
first impressions and everything lou is such a badass i how how does he get this

00:49:58.400 --> 00:50:06.000
stuff he is a badass that's all there is to say about it that's all there is to

00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:07.760
say he's a badass uh I really I really

00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:12.559
wanted him to come to the Highlander event and he really wanted to come but

00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:15.680
it just didn't work out this time but uh you know guys don't be surprised to see

00:50:14.160 --> 00:50:20.000
some kind of collaborative effort between Linus Tech Tips and Unbox

00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:23.920
Therapy sometime sometime to to kind of make up for that to each other because

00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:26.880
we we owe each other to to hang out i I and I think Lou was pretty disappointed

00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:31.839
when he messaged me he was like "Hey do you want to get together?" Blah blah blah you guys are at E3 i'm like "Yeah

00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:37.000
I'm not actually there my guys are there but I'm not." He's just

00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:40.079
like "Okay

00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:43.119
okay." And then we ended up going to a

00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:45.440
dinner and a lunch with him so Brandon

00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:52.079
Nick and I have met Lou more times than you have i think I have

00:50:48.119 --> 00:50:54.240
had I I the I don't know if I've had

00:50:52.079 --> 00:51:00.240
more meals with him than you actually cuz I bailed on him at CES cuz I had to

00:50:56.559 --> 00:51:02.720
go to like AMD's party and they were

00:51:00.240 --> 00:51:06.079
they like paid our way for that two days they covered our hotel and everything

00:51:04.240 --> 00:51:10.559
and if I didn't show up at that party I was going to be like a really bad person

00:51:08.160 --> 00:51:14.480
and I bailed on I bailed on Lou and Lamar Wilson and uh who else was there

00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:18.160
for that i got to meet Lamar Wilson as well yeah

00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:21.760
i suck i'm a bad person speaking of things that suck this product really

00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:25.440
doesn't make a lot of sense to me i wouldn't say it sucks i think it's a

00:51:23.599 --> 00:51:31.200
it's a cool idea the original articles on Hexus and this is Philips's um

00:51:28.640 --> 00:51:35.359
virtually seamless twoin- one monitor so they showed this off at Comp Computex

00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:41.680
and what they've basically done is they've put two ultra thin bezel 19in

00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:44.040
display panels on a single stand and

00:51:41.680 --> 00:51:50.880
they allow them to be rotated up to 22 1/2° this won um a Computex Gold Award

00:51:49.200 --> 00:51:54.880
for outstanding innovation which was a little bit confusing to me because

00:51:52.640 --> 00:52:00.000
Samsung had their MDX series which allowed you to have three or six panels

00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:05.359
off of a single stand um quite a while back and I'm pretty sure that you know

00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:10.800
monitor stands have been doing this for a while but the innovation here is the

00:52:08.319 --> 00:52:15.440
virtual seamlessness between the monitors the one thing that I really

00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:20.000
question about it and sort of why I segueed into this with speaking of sucks

00:52:17.839 --> 00:52:24.720
is the one thing I question here is what is the value here compared to a 21 by9

00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:30.240
monitor which has are these individually able to

00:52:27.359 --> 00:52:34.880
be rotated yes the if if you can flip one completely over I might understand

00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:38.880
it for office situations flip it over no not like that like you can you can move

00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:42.400
them a bit oh not that yeah so compared to just a completely flat monitor I

00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:46.720
guess it's nice to have them angled in at you a little bit but for this product

00:52:44.640 --> 00:52:52.480
to be a success I would have to see it be very inexpensive i would have to see

00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:54.720
it be targeted at business users who are

00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:58.480
typically buying you know whatever uh that Acer one that we really like with

00:52:56.480 --> 00:53:03.040
the slim bezel who are typically buying something like that and putting them next to each other if you're going to

00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:07.760
save me a few millimeters of bezel space um I don't expect to pay a massive

00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:11.200
premium for it so that's my sort of take on that

00:53:08.640 --> 00:53:15.040
i' I've seen cuz when I first saw this which was very not that long ago I

00:53:13.839 --> 00:53:19.040
assumed that you could take one of them and flip it over because I've seen that be pretty interesting in office

00:53:17.920 --> 00:53:22.880
situations because if someone's sitting on the other side of the desk right and you want to show them put me on that

00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:27.839
monitor flip it over it'll auto correct when it gets to the other side and they can see it and that's actually kind of

00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:33.599
cool but then yeah I guess not all right so moving on to Daron's Magv keyboard

00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:39.760
you want to cover this you're the keyboard dork um I'm just ah see but I'm

00:53:37.200 --> 00:53:42.559
not really that interested i know I cover things I'm not interested in all

00:53:41.200 --> 00:53:45.680
the time i don't think this is a good idea every time I talk well then say

00:53:44.319 --> 00:53:51.240
it's not a good idea that's what this show is idea because Okay so it's the

00:53:47.520 --> 00:53:55.520
it's the weekly analysis and news show

00:53:51.240 --> 00:53:57.680
analyze can't spell analyze without anal

00:53:55.520 --> 00:54:01.119
okay so it's blah blah blah blah blah you can you can this will hopefully be

00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:04.000
able to get uh reduction in thickness in notebooks because you don't need as much

00:54:02.400 --> 00:54:07.520
space for the keys yeah for like the plastic junk that goes in there yeah

00:54:05.839 --> 00:54:11.440
yeah yeah and they're using magnetic levitation to keep the keys in a raised

00:54:09.520 --> 00:54:16.880
position which already sounds potentially not good um it's I I don't

00:54:15.359 --> 00:54:23.280
That's about it i'm worried about the magnetic levitation thing because you can throw off magnets with uh minor

00:54:21.680 --> 00:54:27.359
impacts and it's in a laptop that's true so if

00:54:25.839 --> 00:54:31.599
it bumps around too much and stuff like a lot of people are throwing SSDs in laptops now and then not treating them

00:54:30.160 --> 00:54:35.680
as carefully as they did when they used to have hard drives in them right because a big problem with tossing your

00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:40.079
notebook around used to be the hard drive if you throw magnets in there

00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:45.359
impacts could be an issue um another thing is the depth is not very high

00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:51.520
which is the whole point they're trying to slim it down more but the whole point

00:54:48.559 --> 00:54:55.200
is that that's going to suck because if you've ever tried typing on a completely

00:54:53.200 --> 00:54:59.599
flat surface that's terrible speaking of surface I see this being very applicable

00:54:57.520 --> 00:55:03.359
for something like Microsoft Surface yeah I could see that something like a

00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:09.599
type cover could benefit from this where thinness is the priority not um you know

00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:13.520
the the tactile feedback yeah um but it looks like initial impressions of this

00:55:11.520 --> 00:55:17.839
are that the travel distance isn't long enough and then I don't really see there

00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:22.319
being any benefit on something like a going over just a straight up touch like

00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:26.559
a more normal size notebook like that this is this is fairly large where you

00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:29.880
have room for a larger design or this one this this is Yeah yeah yeah yeah

00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:34.400
there you go um I don't know it's just it's it's

00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:39.280
going to be a bad typing experience and if you just went for like a capacitive

00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:44.880
touch which is going to feel worse but if if thickness is the priority I've t

00:55:42.640 --> 00:55:51.760
you did you ever type on the touch cover from the original it was terrible but it

00:55:47.520 --> 00:55:53.040
was really thin and I mean yeah

00:55:51.760 --> 00:55:58.720
like this i don't think this is going to be a great experience is it going to be enough to be because it's probably going

00:55:55.839 --> 00:56:01.599
to be thicker than a capacitive type oh yeah for sure it'll be thicker than that

00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:05.920
so So you're going thicker you're sacrificing that thinness for a slightly

00:56:03.760 --> 00:56:10.480
better experience which is still not a good experience well you haven't tried

00:56:07.359 --> 00:56:12.799
it yet yeah but I I I can I'm making

00:56:10.480 --> 00:56:16.480
assumptions to be 100% honest but I don't think it's going to be a very good

00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:19.839
typing experience i don't know i'm It's It's interesting because it's new

00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:22.480
technology although I don't I don't really think it's going to be a huge

00:56:20.960 --> 00:56:27.119
thing personally all right so let's move on to something that I'm extremely buttthurt about this isn't the kind of

00:56:25.359 --> 00:56:31.200
thing stupid this isn't the kind of thing that we normally cover on this

00:56:28.640 --> 00:56:38.000
show like oh Google changed one feature or Apple added one thing to their You

00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:41.200
know what this is so ridiculous google

00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:44.160
is doing away with the ability to add a

00:56:41.200 --> 00:56:51.799
calendar invitation to an email i use this every single day we use this a lot

00:56:47.920 --> 00:56:56.400
it is so handy so in the old

00:56:51.799 --> 00:56:59.359
days and like okay I'll any in the old

00:56:56.400 --> 00:57:05.520
days all you had to do was within an email click add calendar invitation it

00:57:02.640 --> 00:57:10.880
pops up a little box and anyone else who gets that email can say yes no maybe and

00:57:08.640 --> 00:57:16.000
it automatically adds that event to your own calendar so that you don't have to

00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:18.079
go over to your calendar set it up find

00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:21.280
a sharable link to it go back to your email and send it to someone and the

00:57:19.920 --> 00:57:26.799
reason they're doing away with it is because spammers are using it to send

00:57:23.520 --> 00:57:26.799
calendar invitations to

00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:33.599
people okay why do we care so So what

00:57:31.359 --> 00:57:37.520
we're gonna we're gonna cancel email because spammers are using it to send

00:57:35.520 --> 00:57:42.559
unwanted messages to you don't have to accept the invitation

00:57:40.160 --> 00:57:46.720
super dumb super not impressed we actually do use this a lot and the thing

00:57:44.720 --> 00:57:50.400
is it's not just internally we do use a lot internally but I'll get messages

00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:55.040
from people that we're working with with calendar invites this is going to get

00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:57.280
super annoying like why take it out it's

00:57:55.040 --> 00:58:02.000
It's like they don't want me to use Gmail google's been doing a lot of weird

00:57:59.359 --> 00:58:06.400
crap lately so mad and it's one of those things where it's like you know what

00:58:03.200 --> 00:58:08.720
we're business users like if you're

00:58:06.400 --> 00:58:13.520
going to take it away fine take it away from the free accounts or something and

00:58:11.520 --> 00:58:16.400
then even though if if we're talking paid accounts then I don't think you're

00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:22.520
going to have an issue with people abusing it because you there's not going to be that many to filter through and

00:58:19.680 --> 00:58:26.559
find out who's abusing it right whereas business users need this kind of

00:58:25.040 --> 00:58:30.720
thing anything that saves a little bit of time is enough to convince me to

00:58:28.720 --> 00:58:38.400
change platforms and like taking integration away rather

00:58:34.720 --> 00:58:40.640
than building it up is infuriating so

00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:44.960
I'm mad i'm making sure you guys all know that I'm mad and I guess that's all

00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:48.319
I really have to say about it yeah i don't know there's there's really not

00:58:46.799 --> 00:58:53.680
that much else to say about it happy topic swiftkey yeah Swift Key is free

00:58:50.880 --> 00:58:57.520
now dog that's awesome i posted this on Facebook and it was basically like Swift

00:58:55.200 --> 00:59:00.640
Key is free go get it please uh this was posted originally on the forum by Top

00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:06.559
War Gamer thank you very much for posting that um basically don't feel bad

00:59:03.440 --> 00:59:08.559
if you paid though you get 10 free skins

00:59:06.559 --> 00:59:11.760
so you get like a 10 pack of cool looking skins for your keyboard so I

00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:16.480
went and cashed that in right away in fact you know it's funny cuz normally I

00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:19.040
don't really give a crap about skins or

00:59:16.480 --> 00:59:23.839
free perks or whatever for software that I have but Swift Key I was like I was on

00:59:21.359 --> 00:59:26.799
that yeah and everyone at NCIX today because we've all got Swift Key I was

00:59:25.599 --> 00:59:30.240
like "Did you get your packs?" They're like "Yeah

00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:33.680
that's pretty cool that's pretty cool." And like when I first heard about this I

00:59:32.160 --> 00:59:38.319
didn't know about the the theme packs and all that kind of stuff and I was like "Damn I bought that not that long

00:59:36.640 --> 00:59:41.119
ago." And I was semi- disappointed and then I talked to this guy and he's like

00:59:39.680 --> 00:59:45.280
"Free theme packs?" And I'm like "Awesome they handled it really well."

00:59:43.680 --> 00:59:49.680
And I mean you know what even if I did pay for it and and now it's free I still

00:59:48.000 --> 00:59:53.839
don't feel bad about it i got my money i like Swift Key i I it tells me it tells

00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:57.359
me how many hundreds of thousands of keystrokes I've saved you know there's

00:59:55.839 --> 01:00:01.280
still something I really wish they would address and that's when it auto corrects

00:59:59.920 --> 01:00:06.400
something and you don't like it when you backspace it really needs to revert

01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:11.040
like please someone at Swift Key feels awkward can you please just go fix that

01:00:09.040 --> 01:00:16.319
um that's something that that's the one thing that the Google keyboard does way

01:00:13.760 --> 01:00:19.920
better than Swift Key when I got Moto X again I was on Google Keyboard for a

01:00:18.400 --> 01:00:23.520
little while and there are a few things like that that I like about it but

01:00:21.520 --> 01:00:27.200
overall after using it for like a week or so you're like "Yeah I just need

01:00:25.040 --> 01:00:31.200
Swift Key again." Every time Every time I do a phone review like I'm working on

01:00:29.119 --> 01:00:35.760
the G3 right now yeah every time I do a phone review I try to use that vendor

01:00:32.880 --> 01:00:40.079
stock keyboard for a bit and it's like a fiasco every time i'm just like "No no

01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:45.839
no forget it." Can you leak some thoughts i'm interested i actually I

01:00:44.079 --> 01:00:50.400
really like the vis it's off right now sorry um the camera's great i really

01:00:48.160 --> 01:00:54.720
like the visual style of their uh of their latest skin uh some of the

01:00:52.240 --> 01:01:01.280
navigation of their skin definitely needs some work um I I really liked

01:00:57.040 --> 01:01:04.720
Sony's skin i really like HTC's i'm um

01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:06.559
not a huge fan of Samsung's and so far I

01:01:04.720 --> 01:01:11.520
would say this falls on the not a fan of it side of being a fan um but I haven't

01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:17.839
spent much time with it and you can turn some things off that's what I noticed with the G2 i've only been switched to

01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:19.280
it for like a day and a half oh actually

01:01:17.839 --> 01:01:23.760
and there's definitely some cool stuff already like uh HTC copied the whole

01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:28.079
double touch to turn the screen on thing yeah that's so nice hardcore copied it

01:01:25.920 --> 01:01:33.520
well LG upped the ante this time because now you can do you can do a code so

01:01:31.520 --> 01:01:37.760
instead of cuz double double tapping I find I accidentally activate it all the

01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:40.799
time whereas now you can you can knock a code into the phone and it'll only

01:01:39.359 --> 01:01:44.240
unlock if you do it a specific way i think that's really cool pretty cool i'm

01:01:42.640 --> 01:01:49.280
down with that yeah so there's little stuff that I really like so far um but

01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:52.960
guys stay tuned for the full review also I've got a I'm going to be working on

01:01:51.040 --> 01:01:55.920
the Pad phone soon oh interesting pad phone X so that's that phone tablet

01:01:54.880 --> 01:02:00.000
hybrid thing you can pull that out of the box what are your thoughts because

01:01:58.240 --> 01:02:04.559
I'm a huge fan of the back buttons but what are your thoughts on the back buttons back buttons i like them so far

01:02:03.040 --> 01:02:08.880
it's still very disconcerting cuz I've only been switched to it for a little while yeah yeah but this is the coolest

01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:14.960
thing about it check this out i was going to say is is that a North American

01:02:11.119 --> 01:02:16.880
blast from the past guys

01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:21.920
antennas well is that a North American phone no it's not this is a Korean phone

01:02:18.960 --> 01:02:25.520
it's for TV but uh I I got a kick out of it you know it's funny because I don't

01:02:24.160 --> 01:02:31.200
understand why they don't just put it on the North American model because sometimes your reception is a little bit

01:02:29.040 --> 01:02:36.079
borderline and I can't imagine it would hurt to have an external antenna nope

01:02:34.079 --> 01:02:39.760
like I don't know why they're afraid to put it on people don't have to take it

01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:44.400
out just have it on there and it's so small and light anyway this is the uh

01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:52.000
this is the Padphone Phone X not that impressed with the bulkiness of it so

01:02:47.839 --> 01:02:54.880
far um am that impressed with the

01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:57.920
seamlessness of turning it into a tablet and it's not powered on right now but

01:02:56.480 --> 01:03:01.280
yeah with the seamlessness of turning it into a tablet and with the fact that

01:02:59.520 --> 01:03:05.280
it's going to be priced similarly to what would normally just be a standard

01:03:03.040 --> 01:03:09.520
phone so stay tuned for that review as well this one between the fact that it

01:03:07.440 --> 01:03:15.599
has wireless charging and the fact that it converts to a tablet may win me over

01:03:12.319 --> 01:03:16.960
from the 1M8 so we'll see it's not

01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:21.680
annoying when you hold it this way to have a phone cuz you can actually use the bottom of the phone thing to like

01:03:20.079 --> 01:03:27.039
hold on to the tablet and it's got a solid hardware spec so it it may win me

01:03:25.119 --> 01:03:32.640
over we'll see interesting no guarantees on that one um all right oh speaking of

01:03:30.799 --> 01:03:36.960
Nintendo this was originally posted on the forum by Rafi and uh it's not

01:03:35.200 --> 01:03:41.920
actually related to Nintendo but it's Microsoft trying to take feedback from

01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:47.599
their users unfortunately and I'm not going to generalize about Xbox users but

01:03:44.480 --> 01:03:50.799
unfortunately um some of the top voted

01:03:47.599 --> 01:03:53.119
ideas are just stupid but basically the

01:03:50.799 --> 01:03:57.640
site xbox.uservoice.com uservoice.com allows you to go and suggest things to

01:03:54.960 --> 01:04:02.880
the Xbox team vote on other people's suggestions and just generally Microsoft

01:04:01.359 --> 01:04:07.839
I guess they've just kind of given up they're like "We don't know what to do

01:04:04.720 --> 01:04:10.559
so help us help you." And I'm glad

01:04:07.839 --> 01:04:13.119
that's the right way to do it good job Microsoft so I just want to give them a

01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:20.839
big thumbs up because I think we were beating them up a little bit what are some of the highrated terrible comments

01:04:16.720 --> 01:04:25.039
oh this one with like 5,000 thumbs up is

01:04:20.839 --> 01:04:26.599
um um oh can we get we want Xbox 360

01:04:25.039 --> 01:04:30.960
game backwards compatibility and that's like the top

01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:34.960
upvoted suggestion with like 5,000 thumbs up and I'm just kind of sitting

01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:38.640
here going like are you are are you stupid like do you really think

01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:42.559
Microsoft didn't think of that if that was a possibility like do you think they

01:04:40.559 --> 01:04:48.599
didn't think of that we're we're talking emulating a console that is emulating a

01:04:46.799 --> 01:04:55.200
console on a completely different architecture that's not you know two or

01:04:51.440 --> 01:04:57.000
three generations ago it is it's a

01:04:55.200 --> 01:05:02.480
stupid suggestion like the games would have to

01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:06.880
be ported straight up and then you could make them available in the arcade or

01:05:04.720 --> 01:05:12.720
something and is Microsoft really going to run around and and you know ask every

01:05:10.240 --> 01:05:17.520
game developer to port all their games and put them in the market no it's like

01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:22.319
yeah I I get that that's what you want but you have to focus on things that are

01:05:19.559 --> 01:05:27.640
real i mean backwards compatibility for gaming consoles was never really a thing

01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:32.400
it happened what once with the PS2 being backwards

01:05:30.079 --> 01:05:38.240
compatible with the PS1 the PS3 had it initially but then it went away can you

01:05:34.240 --> 01:05:40.960
play Xbox games on Xbox 360

01:05:38.240 --> 01:05:45.599
some it was It was very It was a lot it was It was a scattershot thing though

01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:48.640
yeah it was so you go back before it's

01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:50.559
not like the SNES could play NES games

01:05:48.640 --> 01:05:54.559
until like way later and you got this weird cartridge thing sorry the adapter

01:05:53.119 --> 01:05:57.920
cartridge thing so you could get like weird adapter cartridges but even then

01:05:56.319 --> 01:06:04.480
not all the games worked like it was like it's never really been a like yes

01:06:02.079 --> 01:06:07.920
this is a thing we're 100% on board this you're going to be able to to to play

01:06:06.240 --> 01:06:13.760
all your old games on your new consoles you can play Wii games on Wii U as well

01:06:10.559 --> 01:06:16.240
yes you can but I'm just saying it's not

01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:20.000
something that is all over the place people are saying GameCube games on Wii

01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:22.960
i've I didn't know you could do that i don't

01:06:21.119 --> 01:06:27.680
know how you do that yeah it's uh the small discs you just load them in the

01:06:25.359 --> 01:06:31.520
the same way yeah you just you just aim yep like it happens i'm just saying it's

01:06:30.319 --> 01:06:36.480
No I hear you yeah i'm just trying to give examples cuz people are freaking out in the chat it it's something where

01:06:34.319 --> 01:06:39.839
it's not if it's not fundamentally built into it or the architecture isn't

01:06:38.079 --> 01:06:42.880
somehow similar it's just not going to happen i mean the Wii was a lot more

01:06:41.280 --> 01:06:47.359
powerful than the Gamecube which helps a lot the uh something like the Super

01:06:45.359 --> 01:06:52.880
Nintendo was so much more powerful than the NES that we're we're talking about

01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:56.400
using all that extra power to emulate something or however it needs to be

01:06:54.079 --> 01:07:00.640
implemented with the Xbox One versus the Xbox 360 they're not similar enough and

01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:05.760
the power difference is not enough i mean even PCs are having trouble

01:07:02.720 --> 01:07:08.240
emulating Xbox 360 games that's very

01:07:05.760 --> 01:07:12.480
difficult just emulation's weird that's why emulation's weird and the the the

01:07:10.960 --> 01:07:18.799
truth of the matter is that even someone like Microsoft has to ultimately emulate

01:07:15.680 --> 01:07:20.799
an older console unless they do what you

01:07:18.799 --> 01:07:25.280
know Sony did with the early PS3s where they're just putting an emotion chip in

01:07:22.240 --> 01:07:26.880
it and we saw how much that cost and how

01:07:25.280 --> 01:07:31.680
they bailed on that like what was it months later yeah yeah those early

01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:34.319
PlayStation 3s though are worth a lot of money because you can install Linux on

01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:37.680
them and you can run them as like servers and stuff and you can emulate

01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:41.200
old games and like yeah they're they're actually legitimately valuable people

01:07:39.599 --> 01:07:44.319
are like backwards compatibility is just a number and I've got people in the

01:07:42.720 --> 01:07:49.200
Twitch chat pointing out that the PC back has excellent backwards

01:07:46.039 --> 01:07:52.079
compatibility yes it does it's amazing

01:07:49.200 --> 01:07:56.960
whereas consoles it's just like random it's like

01:07:55.280 --> 01:08:01.200
try putting a Nest cartridge into a Wii U um another thing uh Microsoft

01:07:59.920 --> 01:08:06.400
announcement that I don't know if is in the dock is the Halo Master Chief

01:08:03.280 --> 01:08:07.680
Edition did you hear about that at all

01:08:06.400 --> 01:08:10.880
halo Master i don't think it's in the dock oh yeah yeah yeah yeah i heard

01:08:09.440 --> 01:08:14.960
about that so we're getting a re-released what halos one two three

01:08:13.440 --> 01:08:22.080
four three and four the numbered ones with Master Chief in it not the offshoots like ODST or Reach right um

01:08:19.359 --> 01:08:25.359
it's it's it's interesting they're doing some cool things with it like the

01:08:23.759 --> 01:08:28.719
remastered screenshots actually look really good right they're not changing

01:08:26.960 --> 01:08:32.480
the mechanics and Halo 2 multiplayer is coming back which Halo 2 mi is coming

01:08:30.080 --> 01:08:36.560
back halo 2 one Halo 1 multiplayer will exist on consoles we have to specify on

01:08:35.040 --> 01:08:41.600
consoles because we were playing that like last week on PC um but it will

01:08:39.759 --> 01:08:46.960
exist on consoles yay pc backwards compatibility

01:08:43.759 --> 01:08:48.799
it actually runs better yeah it really

01:08:46.960 --> 01:08:52.239
does and they're not going to like quote unquote fix things so like the pistol in

01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:55.199
Halo 1 is still going to be massively overpowered which is great they'll have

01:08:53.920 --> 01:09:00.560
an interesting They'll have a few interesting matchmaking modes like one where it's just all random so it'll just

01:08:58.560 --> 01:09:06.480
cue you and you'll it'll like put your lobby and be like "Okay you're going to

01:09:01.839 --> 01:09:08.080
play Halo 2 on this map." Nice and it'll

01:09:06.480 --> 01:09:12.719
just launch that game and it can it can bounce around in between the games really well apparently it's supposed to

01:09:10.239 --> 01:09:16.000
have seamless loading between games if you're going through campaign so like if

01:09:14.400 --> 01:09:19.520
you finish Halo one it'll just be like you're now on First Mission Halo 2 nice

01:09:17.839 --> 01:09:24.319
it just flows right through nice there's some interesting things so just like

01:09:21.359 --> 01:09:29.040
when Arrested Development uh relaunched with all the all the episodes at once

01:09:26.400 --> 01:09:32.080
and nobody slept it's going to be about like that I guess yeah yeah yeah i think

01:09:31.120 --> 01:09:37.839
it would be interesting to play through all the campaigns and stuff back toback but like I don't see this selling Xbox

01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:44.080
ones either i do 100% yeah i wouldn't buy an Xbox

01:09:41.440 --> 01:09:47.679
One for it personally because if I had all these games I could just go back and

01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:50.880
play them and the remastered thing is cool

01:09:49.359 --> 01:09:54.480
ah being able to play online you've bought remastered games before yeah but

01:09:52.960 --> 01:09:58.080
I haven't bought a console to buy the remastered games you know what I mean i

01:09:56.880 --> 01:10:02.719
have definitely bought remastered games i actually do like remastered games i have no I actually really like that they

01:10:01.120 --> 01:10:05.760
remastered Halo 1 and 2 i've bought remastered games

01:10:04.400 --> 01:10:10.800
the the only thing that I could actually see them selling a console for is like Halo 2 multiplayer because remember how

01:10:09.520 --> 01:10:14.239
big of a deal that was when they closed that down yep the guys that were like

01:10:12.560 --> 01:10:18.080
refusing to shut down their consoles and people were like shipping them fans and

01:10:16.480 --> 01:10:22.320
stuff to keep their consoles running like yeah shutting down the Halo 2

01:10:20.159 --> 01:10:26.400
multiplayer servers was not a very cleancut decision so I think people are

01:10:24.719 --> 01:10:30.239
going to be stoked that those are back i'd love to see them do this bundle on

01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:35.120
the PC if they ask for if they ask for 60 bucks 75 bucks for it on the PC I'll

01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:39.040
I'll pay for it i don't care 100% yeah that would be awesome preferably on

01:10:36.480 --> 01:10:43.840
Steam that would be great yep no games for Windows Live

01:10:41.080 --> 01:10:47.040
woo gets better and better all the time yeah yeah yeah someone Yeah someone just

01:10:45.760 --> 01:10:51.199
said "Luke underestimates the nostalgia of Halo 2 multiplayer." Yeah i just had

01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:55.120
that realization it'll it'll probably sell a console halo 2 multiplayer was a

01:10:53.199 --> 01:11:01.679
really I played Halo 2 multiplayer so much ridiculous so yeah yeah it's a good

01:10:59.199 --> 01:11:05.520
point speaking of uh speaking of new gen consoles let's talk old gen consoles for

01:11:03.440 --> 01:11:13.040
a second uh I don't even know if this is really news but apparently uh Titanfall

01:11:08.400 --> 01:11:16.400
runs at 600p at 46 FPS on the Xbox 360

01:11:13.040 --> 01:11:18.239
so someone uh used uh capture device in

01:11:16.400 --> 01:11:20.880
order to find out how many frames it was actually rendering so I thought that was

01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:24.719
kind of interesting i was I was wondering it would it would be kind of

01:11:22.960 --> 01:11:28.640
an interesting setup but it it'd be kind of fun to like benchmark consoles every

01:11:26.800 --> 01:11:32.159
once in a while yeah because you can feel them chug you can feel them not run

01:11:30.239 --> 01:11:35.840
at 30 or 60 FPS because they make these claims and I'm like well it's not going

01:11:33.679 --> 01:11:40.960
to be a constant FPS anyways so when you're claiming this like craptastic

01:11:37.679 --> 01:11:43.600
resolution and craptastic FPS is that

01:11:40.960 --> 01:11:49.840
like when you're staring at the floor cuz who knows no in theory that's the

01:11:45.840 --> 01:11:51.280
lowest dip right but it's there's no way

01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:56.719
all right so this was originally posted on the forum by Dazed Cobra 42 and uh

01:11:54.640 --> 01:12:01.360
this is something that some people think is no big deal other people think is a

01:11:59.120 --> 01:12:08.480
huge deal and that is that Comcast is converting 50,000 home routers in

01:12:04.159 --> 01:12:10.800
Houston into public Wi-Fi hotspots so

01:12:08.480 --> 01:12:17.199
basically it'll only work if you're using your Comcast

01:12:13.120 --> 01:12:20.719
uh wireless router modem combo unit and

01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:23.199
whoever's accessing your router will not

01:12:20.719 --> 01:12:28.640
be able to use up your data plan or see your home network but the idea is they

01:12:25.840 --> 01:12:32.960
want to turn it into citywide Wi-Fi hotspots for their

01:12:30.520 --> 01:12:37.040
customers apparently this is already a thing in other

01:12:34.040 --> 01:12:38.640
countries and I' I've seen posts in the

01:12:37.040 --> 01:12:42.199
thread on our forum where people are pretty positive about the idea and how

01:12:40.400 --> 01:12:48.120
it works but one drawback that I can see is that

01:12:46.560 --> 01:12:54.800
unless they're somehow managing the connection with

01:12:51.480 --> 01:12:56.880
magic to ensure that my ping times in my

01:12:54.800 --> 01:13:03.040
game don't get increased because someone is walking by you know u torrenting on

01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:07.440
the sidewalk outside of my house if they can find a way that that doesn't happen

01:13:04.960 --> 01:13:12.640
and they can't access my network and they can't uh utilize any of my monthly

01:13:10.080 --> 01:13:15.520
bandwidth limitation then I guess I don't care i don't think any of those

01:13:14.400 --> 01:13:19.520
things are going to happen and you can opt out okay you can opt out a lot of

01:13:18.480 --> 01:13:27.080
people aren't going to know this is a thing but most people won't notice

01:13:23.040 --> 01:13:29.199
at all so um this is super

01:13:27.080 --> 01:13:33.440
dumb because like Yeah okay it's not going to affect your your your bill

01:13:32.239 --> 01:13:37.920
but it's going to affect your availability but think about this okay

01:13:35.760 --> 01:13:42.560
so as a Shaw customer or Telus customer or whatever you have at your place um

01:13:39.920 --> 01:13:48.000
you want to tell us right okay so as a Telus customer if you

01:13:45.080 --> 01:13:53.480
could you know let's okay here great example let's say E3 wasn't in um let's

01:13:51.679 --> 01:13:57.120
say it wasn't in LA let's say it was in Toronto and or Okay I guess Toronto's a

01:13:56.159 --> 01:14:02.640
bad example they don't have to tell us there okay whatever but point is what if E3 was in Vancouver so you're out of

01:14:00.400 --> 01:14:08.080
your house you want to upload a video and public Wi-Fi is crap so it was what

01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:12.560
i'm sorry it was public Wi-Fi was 100% so let's say public Wi-Fi was crap let's

01:14:09.760 --> 01:14:15.760
say you're a Telus customer and all you have to do is walk down the street wait

01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:19.040
to find another house that has a Teles customer in it beep beep boop and you've

01:14:17.520 --> 01:14:24.480
got a solid internet connection where I can upload videos and destroy their

01:14:21.600 --> 01:14:29.920
connection okay i didn't destroy it hold on i said "How would you feel about

01:14:27.440 --> 01:14:34.000
being the person who has access to Wi-Fi hotspots everywhere?" I would feel good

01:14:31.440 --> 01:14:37.360
and I would destroy that kid's internet who's just trying to play a video game

01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:41.280
cuz that's why the public Wi-Fi there was terrible everyone was just trying to

01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:45.679
upload stuff the whole time and it was bad i have a screenshot on Twitter of

01:14:43.520 --> 01:14:51.600
our like estimated upload time 20,000 minutes from our hotel because the the

01:14:48.320 --> 01:14:54.159
internet was just like nope so yeah your

01:14:51.600 --> 01:14:57.800
your your your your bill isn't going to be worse the integrity of your data is

01:14:56.080 --> 01:15:01.760
probably not going to be harmed the availability of things online is

01:15:00.320 --> 01:15:05.840
probably going to have an issue and that's not okay in my opinion so Steph

01:15:04.320 --> 01:15:10.239
says "The Comcast thing has been around in Belgium for almost a decade it has a

01:15:08.320 --> 01:15:14.239
four user limitation and shaped traffic." Okay well those are things I

01:15:12.640 --> 01:15:17.280
didn't know about okay but this is this is in Belgium this is not Comcast

01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:22.880
comcast might implement it however they implement it but there's a precedent for

01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:24.400
this oh and apparently it's nationwide

01:15:22.880 --> 01:15:31.360
currently available for business class customers now it's going to residential so there you go interesting i mean as

01:15:28.960 --> 01:15:35.199
long as it doesn't affect it I am pretty happy about it if I'm on one of these

01:15:33.360 --> 01:15:38.400
things and it's available to me and I'm ever near someone's house I'm just going

01:15:36.640 --> 01:15:42.000
to wreck their connection unless they unless it's unless it's shaped or

01:15:39.840 --> 01:15:46.080
throttled so that you can't destroy it it's not going to be that helpful

01:15:44.320 --> 01:15:49.679
unless all you need to do is like you know find a But then you should be using

01:15:48.640 --> 01:15:55.440
your cell phone if you're just looking up a map or whatever okay well let's say

01:15:52.800 --> 01:16:00.800
your cell phone's out of battery but you happen to have your laptop and no USB

01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:05.239
cables and no USB ca No uh yes and no USB cables and no battery banks whatever

01:16:03.360 --> 01:16:09.840
screw you um let's do a Twitter blitz let's do a

01:16:08.000 --> 01:16:14.560
Twitter blitz let's let you guys tell us what you think of this are you okay with

01:16:12.719 --> 01:16:18.880
your ISP allowing other people to use your connection as long as and this is I

01:16:16.960 --> 01:16:22.640
guess they should use their quabillions of dollars and just set up proper public

01:16:21.199 --> 01:16:28.719
Wi-Fi okay this is another thing that really bothers me remember when that story broke about the back doors that

01:16:26.159 --> 01:16:30.800
were built into all these routers so if you're saying the integrity thing oh

01:16:29.920 --> 01:16:36.640
they're not going to see your network someone's going to figure it out so if if it was

01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:42.719
bulletproof then it's fine like if we were if we were talking like like two

01:16:39.280 --> 01:16:44.880
separate you know firmware firmwares

01:16:42.719 --> 01:16:49.440
running on the on like two separate storage devices on the router like and

01:16:47.040 --> 01:16:53.760
they're like sharing two in sharing physical resources but otherwise a

01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:59.120
completely different set of software then I'm like yeah okay whatever fine go

01:16:55.840 --> 01:17:01.120
for it if we're talking about somehow

01:16:59.120 --> 01:17:04.880
this can be exploited I'm I'm sure and there's got to be something in terms of

01:17:02.640 --> 01:17:10.320
data sniffing because you're going on the same line i don't know i don't know

01:17:07.360 --> 01:17:13.440
enough about that but when you're when you're on a different network because I

01:17:11.840 --> 01:17:18.800
have to I don't I'm not sure how they're splitting it which is part of the

01:17:15.440 --> 01:17:21.360
problem so Stefan says oops uh Stefan

01:17:18.800 --> 01:17:26.520
says um connection is entirely separated from yours uh data plan wise also

01:17:23.920 --> 01:17:31.600
bandwidth it's not necessarily like I don't know if they

01:17:28.880 --> 01:17:35.920
can necessarily do that not not probably enough right because

01:17:34.480 --> 01:17:44.320
like they're shaping it or whatever but is it giving 100% priority to the person

01:17:39.679 --> 01:17:45.920
in the house 100% because we we utilize

01:17:44.320 --> 01:17:49.920
our data connection here at Lis Media Group a lot so if this happened to our

01:17:47.920 --> 01:17:55.600
router and we somehow didn't turn off the option thing if we didn't opt out we

01:17:52.239 --> 01:17:57.360
instantly opt out but if we didn't we

01:17:55.600 --> 01:18:01.360
would be we would possibly have issues if they had any percentage of the

01:17:59.040 --> 01:18:05.360
connection right because we like we're in Canada we don't have that great of

01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:08.880
internet and we we really utilize our internet connection that's another thing

01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:15.679
if you have like a crazy pipe going to that house maybe it's not as big of a

01:18:11.679 --> 01:18:16.560
deal um Alakan is saying that on Tech

01:18:15.679 --> 01:18:22.159
Syndicate they were talking about Comcast using your electricity for this

01:18:19.520 --> 01:18:28.000
yeah I get it but you're you're H it seems pretty negligible I mean yeah

01:18:26.159 --> 01:18:32.000
they are it's not right and it's not it's not it's not right but it's not the

01:18:30.719 --> 01:18:37.199
kind of thing that I would probably lodge a complaint with my you know local

01:18:34.159 --> 01:18:37.199
representative about

01:18:37.320 --> 01:18:44.800
um okay wow i got 36 responses now but

01:18:42.960 --> 01:18:47.679
they should just have public router yeah exactly they they should be doing this

01:18:46.480 --> 01:18:52.880
infrastructure on their own they shouldn't be utilizing other customers right nothing is bulletproof when it

01:18:51.040 --> 01:18:55.520
comes to networking again I don't know how you're going to do it someone's

01:18:54.239 --> 01:18:59.120
going to figure out some way wait where'd you where'd you get that up a little bit oh yeah nothing is

01:18:57.760 --> 01:19:03.199
bulletproof when it comes to networking that's a very important point uh Sam

01:19:00.960 --> 01:19:06.719
says "ISPs need to become less intrusive give us a good service and shut up we

01:19:05.040 --> 01:19:11.920
don't get the water company calling us offering better water." You know what

01:19:08.199 --> 01:19:13.600
Sam that is a retweet right there that

01:19:11.920 --> 01:19:18.480
is the first time we have ever taken something on the WAN Show and it has

01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:22.199
been so bang on that we have to tweet it immediately that was really good um they

01:19:21.280 --> 01:19:27.360
need to ask and his last name is really close to

01:19:24.480 --> 01:19:32.000
fluoride good no I don't care i'm not looking at

01:19:29.520 --> 01:19:37.880
it fine that's not that close it's not close at

01:19:34.239 --> 01:19:37.880
all i thought it was closer

01:19:38.080 --> 01:19:41.080
anyways

01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:49.040
you should test your XPS12 for image burn-in issue uh the image burn-in issue

01:19:45.040 --> 01:19:51.920
is terrible on my XPS12 like like super

01:19:49.040 --> 01:19:58.000
bad like I can see my desktop and I am in I am in metro mode so yes I'm aware

01:19:54.800 --> 01:19:59.600
of the issue it's terrible it doesn't

01:19:58.000 --> 01:20:03.360
really affect me using the computer and I still do like it comcast may be able

01:20:02.159 --> 01:20:07.840
to increase your bandwidth if you're sharing a connection but I'm against this security breach imminent security

01:20:06.320 --> 01:20:12.560
breach imminent no it's mine if you're giving me a

01:20:10.159 --> 01:20:15.360
monthly discount to offer up my connection to others now we're talking

01:20:14.080 --> 01:20:22.640
that's a good point Nathaniel and I could see but they're going to be like you get 50 cents or nothing or or lower

01:20:20.320 --> 01:20:26.800
yeah nothing um they have their own hotspot infrastructure yep which is what

01:20:25.360 --> 01:20:34.000
they should be doing tom asks "How's your experience with the Pebble Steel going?" Really like the ID it is It is

01:20:31.440 --> 01:20:39.040
much nicer looking in my opinion than the old Pebble that I had you did order

01:20:35.840 --> 01:20:41.080
one in bright orange yeah but it was

01:20:39.040 --> 01:20:44.640
more about the bulk and the and the plastickiness this has a glass front

01:20:43.280 --> 01:20:50.239
panel which makes a big difference to readability especially now that I've scratched the heck out of a plastic one

01:20:48.000 --> 01:20:55.600
um and I think it just looks way more professional way more stylish i I'm very

01:20:52.800 --> 01:20:58.640
pleased so far using the hotspot to download torrent and not using my

01:20:56.960 --> 01:21:02.960
monthly cap yay you know what i got to wonder because Shaw has Shaw has public

01:21:01.360 --> 01:21:06.800
hotspots and I wonder if it counts towards your

01:21:04.960 --> 01:21:12.480
cap because you have to log into them and dodging uh touring stuff if you

01:21:10.159 --> 01:21:17.520
pirateed on the public network using a Wi-Fi connection but if they are if they

01:21:16.000 --> 01:21:23.199
ask you to log in with your customer ID the way that Shaw does then it'll Good

01:21:20.880 --> 01:21:26.159
call that's even more trackable yeah yeah there's there isn't even any

01:21:24.480 --> 01:21:29.760
plausible deniability like "Oh I didn't have my Wi-Fi network secured it with

01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:33.440
someone outside my house um if anyone is using my internet I'll go completely mad

01:21:31.920 --> 01:21:37.760
don't want people making me No no you don't pay for the other people to use your internet it doesn't work that way

01:21:36.480 --> 01:21:45.040
it doesn't count towards your bandwidth limit i've been here for years in the

01:21:40.920 --> 01:21:48.960
UK allow you to opt in oh so you have to

01:21:45.040 --> 01:21:51.280
opt in to use other people's hotspots

01:21:48.960 --> 01:21:55.760
okay that's kind of all right if it starts but you were talking you can opt

01:21:53.600 --> 01:21:59.520
out this is a you would have to opt in like I like this system that's cool yeah

01:21:57.679 --> 01:22:03.920
I like that swallox is not okay

01:22:02.320 --> 01:22:08.480
hell no especially not considering Comcast's reputation yeah it's kind of a

01:22:06.080 --> 01:22:12.960
That's like Yeah you have to assume anything coming out of there is going to

01:22:09.679 --> 01:22:14.800
be terrible to find why it's terrible

01:22:12.960 --> 01:22:22.760
it's usually not that hard though let's play the find why it's terrible game

01:22:18.400 --> 01:22:22.760
featuring Comcast and EA

01:22:23.199 --> 01:22:29.360
ea hasn't done anything that evil lately have they they probably I haven't been

01:22:27.360 --> 01:22:32.560
paying a ton of attention there's probably been some all right well I

01:22:30.960 --> 01:22:37.679
think that's pretty much it for the WAN Show guys oh right okay i'll let you

01:22:36.080 --> 01:22:43.840
talk about Oculus again for a second this was originally posted on the forum by Top War Gamer and Facebook boss Mark

01:22:41.760 --> 01:22:49.120
Zuckerberg sees Oculus as a chance to get the device into as many hands as

01:22:45.520 --> 01:22:51.760
possible price be damned and he says uh

01:22:49.120 --> 01:22:54.960
oh uh there's there's that quote saying the Oculus Rift will sell at the lowest

01:22:53.120 --> 01:23:00.159
cost possible there's also Palmer saying that it will sell at cost what Palmer

01:22:57.280 --> 01:23:07.360
actually meant by selling at cost was including things like bomb cost shipping

01:23:04.440 --> 01:23:12.560
distribution all that stuff so like they're not looking to gain money off of

01:23:10.239 --> 01:23:15.280
sales of individual Oculus they just don't want to lose they're not losing

01:23:14.000 --> 01:23:20.639
money though mark Zuckerberg doesn't seem to give any cares no yeah lose all

01:23:18.560 --> 01:23:24.159
the money put Oculuses in the hands of everyone um there's been a ton of stuff

01:23:22.719 --> 01:23:30.480
coming out there was the interview that I had um where he was talking about how

01:23:27.360 --> 01:23:33.440
um tons of people are working on input

01:23:30.480 --> 01:23:38.960
stuff that's even not announced right and then there was another interview

01:23:35.280 --> 01:23:41.360
where he actually like semi admitted to

01:23:38.960 --> 01:23:45.360
Oculus working on other hardware that isn't the Rift interesting they're

01:23:44.080 --> 01:23:51.199
working on their own input solutions they're working on all that kind of stuff they're also working on firstparty

01:23:48.480 --> 01:23:56.159
games so developing their own games under Oculus and with recent hires like

01:23:53.920 --> 01:24:01.520
one of the co-founders of Naughty Dog some people are expecting some like

01:23:58.159 --> 01:24:02.960
pretty legit stuff so interesting things

01:24:01.520 --> 01:24:06.560
coming out of there i would highly recommend to shill for myself and tell

01:24:05.199 --> 01:24:10.320
everyone to go watch the Oculus video where I talked to Palmer about how 30

01:24:08.400 --> 01:24:15.600
FPS gaming is pathetic yeah how cool was that for you that was really

01:24:12.040 --> 01:24:18.080
cool that was awesome um highlight of

01:24:15.600 --> 01:24:22.560
the trip yeah probably before that the highlight of the trip was control VR

01:24:19.600 --> 01:24:26.560
which no one is watching um but then but then I got to talk to Palmer which was

01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:30.480
actually really really cool speaking of things um people should people should

01:24:28.880 --> 01:24:37.600
watch the show's the show's kind of over at this point oh yeah yeah yeah um ASUS

01:24:33.920 --> 01:24:40.080
North America so we just had uh we had a

01:24:37.600 --> 01:24:44.320
video that we created for ASUS that they just launched on their channel so you

01:24:42.159 --> 01:24:49.520
guys should definitely go check it out oh put it all the sound hold on where is

01:24:47.199 --> 01:24:52.560
it here we go here we go here we go i'm posting it in the Twitch chat right now

01:24:51.280 --> 01:24:56.960
a couple people are saying that they watched it thanks guys i appreciate it

01:24:55.199 --> 01:25:00.960
it's getting less views than our like totally unknown game indie content which

01:24:59.199 --> 01:25:07.600
is like oh no that's not the one that Oh people are saying they watched your video okay the one that I'm posting is

01:25:04.800 --> 01:25:12.159
um me and Luke having a night battle over the opportunity to uh to to like

01:25:10.400 --> 01:25:15.120
win a notebook so it's like it's kind of it's kind of funny which is funny

01:25:13.440 --> 01:25:19.360
because we both ended up with them yeah I know i never realized that part of the

01:25:16.880 --> 01:25:26.159
story line that's awesome what is this all right

01:25:23.280 --> 01:25:30.000
thanks for watching guys you know okay oh okay we should we should like end the

01:25:28.480 --> 01:25:33.120
stream do do our intro thing end the stream and then start up an afterparty

01:25:31.600 --> 01:25:41.040
afterwards because that's what we did last time and I know they probably didn't but I heard Taran plotting we

01:25:37.760 --> 01:25:43.840
don't have any water this week

01:25:41.040 --> 01:25:47.679
we need to We have moldy Twinkies oh my god

01:25:45.760 --> 01:25:52.360
okay we definitely have moldy Twinkies Twinkies and Minecraft weapons

01:25:53.679 --> 01:26:00.960
