and like way better we're going to have polls live polls so that you and me can set up the polls on our own website then
0:05
there will be a history of the poll and we can try I don't want to know the
0:09
history of any po if someone is watching the live stream they'll be able to see
0:12
the pole you know how we have straw poles so instead if they're watching an
0:16
archive if they watch the archive on our site they should be able to see the pool
0:21
the history of the pool groy all of the
0:24
history we're live now as if it was never erased or cleaned
0:30
the whole history of the poll the pole should be cleaned at some point or
0:34
Another We're just discussing an upcoming website feature welcome to the
0:38
vanan show thank you guys very much for tuning in my laptop screen just wow it
0:45
just completely crapped itself I wish I
0:49
was screen sharing with you guys I opened up a Google doc and like my
0:53
desktop icons like flashed through it for a couple seconds and they gone
0:58
computers man computers man welcome to
1:01
the show um so let's kick things right off
1:06
let's let's let's make things easy for ourselves we've got a bunch of great
1:10
topics for you today first up is Google cardboard you can use an ordinary
1:16
cardboard box and a
1:19
smartphone to make your own virtual reality headset okay it might not be
1:24
quite as sophisticated as the Oculus Rift but more or or as easy as what I
1:29
just did just there a little bit more complicated than that but it should make
1:34
for an easy lowcost way to make that happen next up we've got Ubisoft just
1:40
keeps on digging it's almost like this week they were trying to find something
1:46
popular to say so that we don't like DRM
1:49
we're going to do things yeah we're
1:53
which don't include getting rid of
1:56
DRM what else we got we also have YouTube tip jar so you'll be able to tip
2:00
up to something talk about that later to YouTube creators while watching their
2:05
videos and twitch and YouTube are both
2:08
going to be playing at 60 FPS now
2:12
wowps to u u i can watch PewDiePie yell
2:17
with that much more clarity now tweet tube tweet tube all right intro
2:28
time
2:41
we are moving the microphone down Probably sounds horri ah it's not that
2:46
bad I've got it in my ears all right we have a few sponsors for you this week uh
2:51
earlier this week we actually did a sponsored live stream we call these ask
2:56
the expert and we're going to talk to you guys about what we did discussed
3:00
with Darren Lynch from Intel as well as give you guys the exclusive link to
3:05
watch the archived live stream so I hope
3:08
you enjoy that next up we've got Squarespace and that's not the one that
3:13
I meant to do wow back to this and oh now everything is bricked and terrible
3:18
okay Squarespace 10% off with offer code lineus also we are going to announce the
3:22
winner of a free oneyear Squarespace
3:27
subscription and finally we we've got Dollar Shave Club shave time shave money
3:33
join the club visit Dollar Shave Club in order to get highquality bathroom
3:38
supplies shipped straight to you your door and that is it for my oh yeah and
3:43
it's not very expensive hence the dollar
3:46
I mean it doesn't cost a well it can cost a dollar but it doesn't cost a
3:49
dollar for like the really good stuff but it's still a lot cheaper than the
3:53
other thing so I think I've gotten my point across now and yes the intro was
3:58
playing and the music was broken I actually kind of liked talking over the
4:01
music we should have music in the background so um next week we'll get
4:06
like a music track but for this week can you just kind of beatbox while I do the
4:10
show all right so our first topic this week is going to be the uh well if I had
4:16
my topics open I'd be able to do that YouTube now runs at 60 FPS they actually
4:22
announced a really bunch of the best part is I'm a horrible
4:27
beatboxer I can't do anything I have no abilities whatsoever but if we actually
4:31
had an actual beatboxer that could have been maybe cool I don't know no probably
4:36
not I have about the beatboxing skills of like that random six-year-old kid on
4:40
the playground who thinks he's a plane that's that's about
4:45
it or that kid that used to run around the track while making motorcycle
4:51
noises the sophisticated kids put the playing cards in the spoke
4:57
so there you go yeah I did that when I
5:00
was like 12 I think I did as well actually yeah I think I should have been
5:04
younger than 12 when I was doing that all right so this was originally posted
5:08
on the Forum by RT YouTube now supports
5:13
the 60fps I actually retweeted this tweet last night because I was pretty
5:18
stoked on this news but there you go so
5:22
what they say is motion intense videos will look even better on YouTube when we
5:26
launch support for 48 and 60 FPS yes so
5:30
bring on the Hobbit piracy since that's
5:33
the only thing that comes to mind that 48 frames per second no but seriously
5:40
though higher frame rates are better for many things I know you guys are probably
5:44
expecting me to say well now every single video on YouTube should run at 60
5:49
FPS but that's not necessarily the case
5:53
game play will definitely benefit from this um things like running around with
5:59
a the camcorder probably not so much the
6:02
main benefit the reason that we shoot all of our Channel Super Fun stuff for
6:06
example in 60fps is the ability to slow it down to half speed and still play at
6:11
30 FPS which to the eye with appropriate motion blur does still look very fluid
6:17
the problem with games is that the eye
6:21
and graphics cards they well they don't inherently have motion blur they don't
6:26
actually um help you put the pieces
6:29
together of each of these frames the way that something like a film does so 60
6:34
FPS exciting one little trick you have to turn it up to 1080p in order to
6:39
enable 60 FPS also if you're in Firefox you might not be able to see it
6:42
automatically so if you go download all HTML 5 or some other HTML 5 add-on which
6:48
can switch YouTube to HTML 5 by forcing
6:51
it um then you'll be good to go I am so over Firefox at this point between it
6:57
logging me out of the Forum all the time and just flat out not working very well
7:02
and crashing a lot over the last little while I think uh We've pretty much
7:05
broken up so Firefox is now my tertiary
7:09
browser whoa yeah what's your second at
7:13
home I am I'm actually using Chrome IE
7:18
Firefox why not like opera or something Opera doesn't work with anything yeah it
7:23
does no no I use I use on Chrome Okay
7:26
Google straight up doesn't support Opera and Google doesn't support Opera no they
7:32
they say blah blah blah blah blah sometimes when you log into stuff they'll be like uh yeah this feature
7:37
works on Firefox and chrome and then half the time it doesn't work on Firefox
7:41
and the other half of the time it doesn't work on Chrome so I have a feeling within the next few years Google
7:46
is going to try to basically eradicate everything except for Chrome because I I
7:50
honestly think a lot of the issues that are coming in are based around Google
7:53
just being like NOP no no we're doing all this it seems to be mostly flash
7:56
related for Firefox for me yeah and I mean it's not like Adobe and googler In
8:01
Cahoots so I think it's gota I gotta just blame the Mozilla team for
8:06
this I don't know but if the flash
8:09
thing's your problem just download the HTML 5 add-on and you're good to go yeah
8:13
even then not everything runs on HTML 5
8:16
sometimes flash things exist and then my browser crashes and then and this is
8:21
this is something that I have an issue with with both Firefox and chrome is it
8:25
seems like about 30% of the time the restore last browsing session feature
8:29
just doesn't work I have literally never had a problem with that with fire I had
8:33
it happened last night last very night last night was my last night did you
8:37
have multiple Windows open of course I did I always do you know what my
8:41
computer looks like because some of because I need to be able to alt tab
8:45
between certain sets of tabs very quickly so for example see like he's
8:50
complaining about his RAM he has to upgrade his RAM doesn't do anything
8:54
other than web browse ofing his Brown I have to upgrade
9:00
my desktop my brother's taking like five gigs of
9:06
RAM oh yeah I know I I'm having troubl
9:09
defending Firefox lately I hope they pick it up because I don't know I feel a lot more
9:14
safer on Firefox than I do on Chrome yeah well there you go um all right so
9:20
cat oh this is something really cool that also came out of the uh VidCon
9:24
event recently they are adding caption
9:28
crowd sources so every single video will just say butts butts butts butts butts
9:32
on the bottom well probably the first thing I thought of when I read that was
9:36
like okay every single video that's going to attract like a certain crowd is
9:41
just going to have like buts yeah there's going to be a lot
9:44
of potential for this to be griefed I have to think though that once the
9:48
initial sort of spam dies down it'll
9:52
probably start to it'll probably settle in I think videos like ours will
9:56
probably do reasonably well by comparison and the way that I see except
10:00
for this one which will probably just have butts butts butts on it yeah
10:03
someone will go and hide it like 34 of the way through where no one's going to
10:07
be looking at the captions I mean especially in English it's probably
10:10
going to be more a matter of going through and fixing the mistakes of the
10:14
automatic one yeah um so I mean I'm sure
10:17
YouTube will be able to tell cuz in much the same way that they can take the
10:22
audio track and they can caption it I'm sure they can take the captioning and
10:26
somewhat validate it so figure out if it's like that far off yes okay that's
10:31
what I expect to happen although this is all just me guessing these features are
10:34
not out yet that makes sense though and if they're not doing that now they
10:37
probably should and they'll probably think of that or figure that out at some
10:40
point in time maybe P 10% um so I find a
10:45
lot of the news that just happened um in in this one segment are all like
10:51
PewDiePie because it's YouTube 60fps and
10:55
tip jar so if he's having problem well he's he's like doing okay for doing okay
11:00
but game streamers in general aren't probably going to make as much money on
11:04
their ads so tip jars are going to help game streamers a lot and 60fps is going
11:08
to help game streamers a lot so I find it actually kind of surprising that both
11:12
these things are landing when traditionally they didn't really seem to care about game streamers it's it's
11:16
actually kind of refreshing to see YouTube Bend to the will of the
11:21
community for a change instead of just marching off in a direction and doing
11:25
whatever the heck it is that they want go plus integration and screw you just
11:30
expecting everyone to sort of fall in line I mean we want you know higher
11:34
quality content and we want this and we want that it's like guys that's great
11:39
but people are not watching that they're
11:43
watching PewDiePie do whatever it is
11:46
speaking of PewDiePie I actually was this close to retweeting one of his
11:51
tweets for the first time ever I do follow him on Twitter and I agreed with
11:57
this so hard and I was just like Google
12:01
what are you doing twitch play Pokemon is in our chat again oh L that's so cool
12:06
I saw him in last week too I was like what the hell all right so I'm going to
12:10
screen share with you guys for a second here check this out so in the old days I
12:14
would click on my name and I would go to video manager you can see that that's
12:17
still working on this page for some reason it must be a really old one they
12:21
changed it today yeah there we go so my name is now gone this is great I can
12:25
show the before and after my name is now gone now I get to click on this I get to
12:29
click on Creator Studio wait around for that to load it slow ass and then I get
12:35
to go way over here and click on video manager in order to manage my videos
12:41
which is where I spend 99% of my time when I am logged into my
12:46
YouTube channel um YouTube seems to be trying to pay attention to the needs of
12:50
creators they're finally giving us a dedicated YouTube creator app which will
12:55
allow us to manage things that's actually pretty cool that's pretty cool
12:58
although honestly there's not that much more that I needed to do they could have
13:02
just fixed you know broken like outright
13:05
broken stuff like here's a couple of examples um when you're loading comments
13:11
it just stops working after a while and then you can't restore it other than by
13:15
reloading the page and then scrolling back to that point again you can't see
13:19
the most recent comments first and then the other one that was just broken as
13:23
all heck is when I would try to reply to a comment I think it is and then go
13:29
back it would reload the comments and I'd have to start over again at the top
13:33
it's like you wonder why YouTubers aren't interacting with their audiences
13:36
much you're making it as difficult as possible for us oh my God it's it's it's
13:42
the the comment system as a whole is ridiculous I I watched a video the other
13:46
day that was uploaded that day this was like a day or two ago but for some
13:50
reason it had the old comment system yeah and it was so refreshing it's so
13:55
much better I'm going to be honest with you I couldn't tell the difference really yeah I had there was a video
13:59
recently it was a funk commercial that we did and I was reading through the
14:04
comments and everyone was freaking out about how it was the old comments and I actually couldn't remember the
14:08
difference between them anymore the reply buttons there on everything um and
14:13
honestly it looked cleaner it's mostly mostly there are reply buttons on
14:17
everything now like people have basically just kind of accepted it you
14:20
know I don't know Dro TR and I still have a problem I'll read through the
14:24
comments and someone will ask a question directed at me and I try to reply and
14:27
I'm like this is not possible that still happens to this day my favorite is that
14:31
well and but there are issues with the old comment system that I think people
14:34
forget in the old comment system someone could have contact lock on and there
14:39
would still be a reply button so you'd click reply you'd type up a nice long
14:43
reply to them you'd click it it would go away and it would tell you this person
14:46
has contact lock on they did not receive your message actually never ran into
14:51
that that's a lot worse that's like a hundred times worse at least I don't
14:54
have to waste my time trying to reply to people who ask me questions that don't
14:59
have a reply button on their comments I can see up front haha I don't have to
15:03
talk to you because you didn't do the thing yeah yeah so at least there's that
15:08
I don't know I think I ran Twitch Plays Pokemon off because the the chat freaked
15:13
out way to go smart guy we actually we
15:17
had someone cool in our chat for the first time ever I mean the rest of you
15:22
are cool too but like someone like crazy famous on Twitch cool well when when my
15:27
brother and I were streaming we had Day N come in and say hi yeah I think myself
15:32
or my brother I don't remember which one was wearing a day n shirt and after his
15:35
stream ended he went to the homepage and saw us homepage and he was like what
15:39
that's why he came into the chat and was like hello oh he's still here still here
15:44
y anyways all right so our you know it's
15:48
funny cuz my issue on Firefox is that the Forum keeps signing my me out my
15:52
issue in Chrome is it keeps signing me back in when I sign out
15:59
stop it like no you must have your proper account for this listen to me all
16:03
right so this was originally posted by Twisted dictator on the Forum and this
16:09
is Ubisoft the original article from
16:12
Gamespot this is Ubisoft coming out and
16:16
saying well DRM can't stop piracy
16:20
actually this article is fantastic it's so ridiculous full of all the win okay
16:25
so VP of digital publishing from Ubisoft says I don't want us in a position where
16:30
we're punishing a paying player for what a pirate can get around so where you are
16:35
right now that position that you're like very deeply rooted in you don't want to
16:38
be there okay so Witcher developer CD project red uh thinks that DRM is an
16:43
ineffective way to stop piracy on the PC them I actually believe because they've
16:47
been reasonably friendly in the past however Ubisoft is just like what
16:52
popular thing can we say that Gamers will like so that they will stop hating
16:57
us as hard as we deserve deserve to be hated right now and so
17:02
that oh this is great so what's key for
17:05
us is making sure we're delivering an experience to paying players that is
17:09
quality so the question becomes what do we create as services or as benefits and
17:14
the quality of the game that will just have people want to pay for it and I'm
17:20
just kind of sitting here going blah blah blah so okay the more services
17:23
there the reality it is the more services there are in a game well
17:28
Pirates don't get that stuff so when it's a good game and there's good
17:31
services around it you're incentivized to not pirate the game to get the full
17:34
experience this is all true it's just that
17:38
Ubisoft it's not like they actually said well here's an upcoming game that we're
17:43
going to go you know uh steam DRM only
17:46
or we're going to go zero actionable items yeah there there's nothing there's
17:50
not a Microsoft might as well you know
17:54
uh publish an open letter about how they're committed to PC Gamers for all
17:58
the emptiness of this statement that has
18:01
nothing to do with anything oh my God I mean it's not like I agree with the
18:06
Pirates I mean this is this is this is interesting um there was a claim uh that
18:11
Bethesda recently released Wolfenstein the New Order was pirated over a 100,000
18:16
times in the first week and obviously you can't say oh well then they lost
18:21
whatever 60 times 100 so what 60 mill6
18:24
million do in Revenue whatever that works out too um lost $6 Million worth
18:29
of Revenue because of pirates you can't really do the math that way but you
18:34
can't do the math that way at all we have to agree that it is a problem and I
18:38
don't agree with the typical you know
18:42
quite frankly stupid argument that you
18:46
know uh piracy doesn't hurt cuz it's you know basically like if if they deserved
18:51
my money you know after I if I played it okay here this guy this guy basically
18:56
made me pretty mad uh Russ takeout okay
19:00
uh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so this guy is like well people buy good or great
19:05
games the problem is when you have a game with a 5H hour single player and
19:08
lousy multiplayer how do you justify 60 bucks for it piracy helps the individual
19:13
to test the game I downloaded 10 to 20 games this year and purchased the 3 to
19:16
four that let me play for at least a few weeks and I'm kind of sitting here going
19:21
well no because if you want to have the
19:24
experience you should pay for it if the
19:28
experience wasn't good enough to have then you don't have to buy it and not
19:31
every game cost $60 wait like 3 weeks
19:35
and it'll probably be 30 transistor like just came out it's already 25% off on
19:39
Steam Sale exactly so if you don't think
19:43
something is worth the cost 100% then just wait a little while
19:48
and if you're not willing to wait well then I'm sorry I guess you get to pay
19:52
and you can't just say oh well if something can't be reused 100 times then
19:56
it's not worth buying I mean by that logic do you refuse to buy
20:01
condoms or
20:05
food it's basically the same thing it seriously is no I know I was just trying
20:09
something that isn't reusable over and over again dogs try to make food
20:13
reusable dogs oh that's gross you know
20:17
my old Pony when I was a kid oh no she would basically like if we if we imagine
20:22
that this is the pony the crap would come out this end he would turn himself
20:27
180° no yep you know how that story I I
20:32
don't know like especially with how Steam Works nowadays we were talking
20:35
about the Steam Sale uh last time on the show about how it's just like yeah all
20:39
this stuff has pretty much been on sale for these prices already like not a ton
20:44
of them were super amazing that's that's because everything gets discounted so
20:48
hard just wait like three days I fear
20:51
for twitch chat what you can't reuse
20:55
condoms twitch chat twitch chat
20:58
that I mean I guess theoretically you
21:02
could it's but the effectiveness well I mean it already has
21:07
a pretty scary Effectiveness 99% is not
21:10
that good that's true that's still one out of 100 times the funny horri the
21:16
funny thing about the 99% Effectiveness is that I'm not 100% sure how you
21:21
calculate that is it 99% of the time you have
21:25
sex you won't cause a pregnancy or is it
21:28
99% of the times that you would have caused a pregnancy it doesn't because
21:33
it's hard to because I mean if it's 99% of the time there won't be a pregnancy
21:38
it's not even helping as much as we think because about 60% of the time to
21:42
70% of the time the the fertility is not
21:45
an issue anyway and nothing would have happened so H that's that is actually
21:51
kind of interesting either way it's still scary I feel like we've gotten off
21:54
topic a little bit we have a little bit maybe a lot of bit let's talk about
21:58
Android TV we aren't even necessarily done with the previous topic oh okay
22:02
what do you have something to say cuz I can just take a drink go for it um I I
22:07
found it interesting that the main thing that he was saying was uh services and benefits they want to add on to games if
22:12
you've been noticing something they've been doing for a long time now is these
22:15
these multiplayer aspects that they've been adding to games I don't know how many times you've talked to someone
22:19
about that super awesome enthralling Assassin's Creed multiplayer that you
22:24
played with no one because no one really does that um or the awesome strapped on
22:30
stapled together multiplayer that's in Watchdogs I think they need to they're
22:34
talking about this quality of the game in quality services and benefits but a
22:38
lot of their quality services and benefits don't really seem thought out
22:42
it seems like they built the entire game and then we're like oh yeah we need
22:45
these things that pirates don't get so we're going to make this weird really
22:50
really bad ship mini game in Assassin's
22:53
Creed that this is the only way you can get certain items and then we're going
22:56
to put it in your ship and everyone's going to hate it so cool like I don't
23:03
make good ones make interesting ways to work with your friends and I know
23:07
they're working on it like uh Far Cry 4
23:10
and Assassin's Creed Unity have these Co-op things where someone can enter
23:14
your game and then help you do like an open world thing but they can't help you
23:18
with storyline missions and stuff and then I don't really that seems weird
23:24
again so I don't know maybe work on that a little bit and then people might care
23:28
but for now they're probably just going to Pirate your game I won't but they
23:31
probably will and I I think it's funny that they brought they're bringing all
23:35
this to light right now yeah I know right because then everyone's going oh
23:39
yeah I can just pirate all your stuff did you see how many comments
23:43
there were about that they're like oh yeah I was waiting for Watch Dogs and then now I'm just going to Pirate it
23:47
it's like wow why did you wow not good
23:51
timing I wonder if piracy rates would go
23:54
down if they just stopped talking about
23:57
shut up there's an interesting they need to
24:01
shut up put their heads down and work on stuff and make really good releases for
24:05
Assassin's Creed and Far Cry what's the upcoming Assassin's Creed Unity Unity
24:09
yeah okay French Revolution sure sure that could be good
24:14
it could who knows hopefully they'll make the PC
24:19
version look exactly the same as the console version oh there was other there
24:22
was another Ubisoft thing they were saying you know why it's challenging to
24:26
have the PC version come out at the same time is the console version and
24:29
something blah blah blah does your hups in your company make them look the same
24:33
yeah anyway here we go uh Android TV so
24:38
it looks like Google uh Google IO they actually had a bunch of stuff they were
24:41
talking about they showed off the upcoming Android L whatever it's going
24:46
to be licorice lollipop ludicrous ludic
24:49
keeping with our Rap Theme um I hope ASUS wants to do laptop
24:55
Integrations again with with the new one ends with JK
25:00
oh and I will just never stop all the
25:04
terrible jokes no I don't want to talk about that anyway um it weighs a lot JK
25:09
it's light so they showed off a bunch of really cool stuff they showed off some really Pointless Stuff they're moving to
25:13
a more circular sort of design language now which to me is kind of like oh
25:18
that's great I'll put that on my circular phone that I don't have I guess
25:22
if if they want if they want Android phones to stop looking like iPhones so
25:28
all these lawsuits can just go away it's
25:31
like discus things yeah this is this is the Samsung Galaxy Milky Way and it's
25:36
like it's like this shape that would be amazing with like a
25:41
sphere it with like a curv screen see that curv screen sphere in the middle
25:46
like and that comes out the back you know the the LG like you know orb Flex
25:51
the or it doubles as a discus throw it to
25:56
your friend and the built-in accelerometer speakers
26:01
the built-in accelerometer will tell you how fast it
26:04
FW and when and when your friend doesn't catch it it'll say uhoh Well it falls
26:11
and you'll be able to hear it because it has a speaker the size of the entire back yeah all these smart features the
26:16
Samsung sh no wrong the speaker should not be the size of the back I've been
26:20
working on my LG G3 review as well as my
26:24
Surface 3 Pro review and they both
26:28
have rearm mounted speakers which is still wrong in this day and age what if
26:32
it's a discus thing still
26:36
wrong still wrong and I still hate it so you want like a bezel around the front
26:40
of the disc for a circular speaker there yeah a bezel
26:45
disc now with 30% more
26:48
bezel new and improved oh no oh not this
26:52
again coming soon Android TV now with
26:55
30% more TV
26:59
Honestly though that might be applicable this whole Android TV thing I'm kind of
27:02
sitting here going like how many times are you guys going to relaunch the same
27:07
thing it's like we really really really
27:11
want Android to run on your TV the old
27:16
you know little USB sticks or HDMI
27:19
sticks those aren't good enough anymore chomecast isn't good enough anymore uh
27:23
Standalone boxes like the posos player
27:26
or that a thing what was it called I don't remember something box I don't
27:31
know I didn't care then all these all these Google operating system things no
27:36
we're doing much better now we're just doing regular Android this time but with
27:40
a different skin over top so it's XBMC
27:45
but like Android or something and there's a world of content in games
27:49
there's actually not too much detail about it right now but you can get Batman Begins Man of Steel The Lego
27:54
Movie and The Hobbit desolation of smog if you want wanted to watch one good
27:59
movie and uh one really good movie and
28:03
two slightly less than good movies Oscar nominated there's going to
28:08
be so much infighting on what movies you're talking about they're adding
28:11
voice control which I guess is interesting if you didn't already have a
28:14
chomecast and an Android phone and this functionality seems like it could have
28:18
just as easily happened that way the one place where I see this really being
28:22
valuable is in terms of more power
28:26
hungry type of applications so NVIDIA
28:29
actually on their own blog is talking about this as well they are saying they
28:34
want the K1 so that's their upcoming chip of course they do they want the K1
28:38
to be the first validated chip for Android TV which could be interesting
28:44
because we'd be looking at both a powerful local gaming experience as well
28:48
as a streaming experience with you know Netflix and all that other stuff and um
28:54
having the ability to stream from the cloud or view things things and Playback
28:58
things and game locally it seems like I guess it'll be somewhat valuable I just
29:04
I don't see it as that different from so
29:08
many other things that are out there I mean you look at something like
29:12
Ouya I mean is this really different from Ouya with a skin on
29:17
it is it is it skins a lot though skins user
29:23
experience what do you complain about a lot with phones yes
29:27
okay the skin is important I'm just saying did we need a
29:31
dedicated I like my CH casts I see no
29:35
real reason to change for my chomecast right well chomecast latency isn't
29:39
anything special so there's that if you wanted to game on your big screen I'm
29:43
not going to play Android games on my big screen no you
29:47
aren't but this is NVIDIA we're talking about so if we could see integration
29:52
with their gam stream technology like the way I'd like to see NVIDIA go Shield
29:57
right right um but what you don't have a way to do right now is get a low latency
30:02
HDMI connection from your Shield to your TV okay so if that could be integrated
30:06
you could have a wireless controller or you could use your Shield as a wireless controller like the way I see NVIDIA
30:11
going with this to make it really successful is have there be an
30:16
experience just for having an NVIDIA chip in the device so they enable game
30:20
stream as long as there's an NVIDIA chip in your device then if you have a shield
30:24
then you enable second screen type things like what Nintendo's trying to do
30:28
with Wii U or with the ability to use your Shield as a controller and then
30:33
switch screens when you run away just like Nintendo's trying to do with the
30:36
Wii U but hopefully better than the Wii U like a lot of the stuff they do with
30:39
the Wii U is pretty stupid Mario Kart 8 has sold 2 million copies which is
30:45
unfreaking real not to mention how many Wii U they're selling now I think
30:49
they're on track to sell more than PS4 and Xbox I if if that's still trending
30:54
that was trending like that before we left for Highlander so I'm not entirely
30:57
sure anymore freaking badass but what I
31:00
do have to say about Mario Kart 8 and the Wii U is that the second screen is
31:04
not very useful there yeah yeah it's dumb you can make it a mini map but then
31:09
like it's in your hands it's in your hands I don't anyone who looks away from
31:13
the screen for more than a split second in Mario Kart is like red shelled up the
31:18
ass so like no I don't know but then I
31:21
don't mind that controller for it either because if you try to use the motion
31:24
controls for it it's a lot better than weote
31:31
controll anyway get it yeah the second
31:34
screen does work for that game but I don't think they need the second screen
31:37
to be amazing for every single game yeah that's true um so there's a couple more
31:42
things for Android TV it's so blah blah blah clean interface allows multiplayer
31:47
gaming with people on Android tablets when was the last time you played a
31:50
multiplayer game over Android this one of the really big problems with Android
31:54
gaming is there're like here's a new platform that you can can take these
31:57
games which are not made for this platform and play them on and it's like
32:02
no I don't want to do that yeah I mean no wants to do that it's the same issue
32:07
that PC Gamers have nobody makes good
32:10
co-op games for Android it's like what
32:13
like what and yeah okay okay twitch chat you're going to have like four examples
32:19
I don't care it's not really my point my point is that it's not a focus Android
32:23
games are focused on this experience PC PC gaming Co-op is starting to come back
32:29
a little bit not enough not enough not enough I'll tell you what when Microsoft
32:33
releases re-releases that Halo package for the PC and it includes Halo 1
32:39
campaign co-op oh God then a you won't
32:43
see me on W show because I'll be too busy playing Halo campaign co-op and B I
32:48
will believe that something's changing my dad and I went through and beat that
32:52
campaign on every possible difficulty not because we couldn't beat it on
32:56
legendary yet just just because we were bored like I think we literally I think
32:59
we beat on legendary and then like went back and beat on the other ones cuz remember you'd get the different Shields
33:03
at the bottom of the level selector so we got all of them cuz we were just like
33:06
this is cool cuz why not and it was a really good game to co-op the last M ah
33:11
whatever everyone's like try try try yeah it's like one game smartass
33:18
and we both love it and we have a video review and we finished it and I played
33:22
it with my wife and that was great and she was like oh that was fun we haven't
33:25
played games together in a long time and I was like yeah that was fun that was
33:29
great um and she was like yeah what other games can we play I'm like
33:35
none Portal 2 for like the not as good as the single player co-op that it has
33:40
actually the only game that we found to uh to play together recently is this one
33:45
it's actually a fantastic game and everyone should play it it's uh it's
33:49
free for the basic version and if it ever manages to launch then I'd love to
33:53
show it to you guys but in the meantime do you want to bring up girl in the chat
33:56
said Android TV equals every Smart TV ever except probably a lot better A lot
34:01
better Smart TVs are dumb and they're just terrible they suck just made of so
34:06
much terrible and oh man that's another thing that's been driving me crazy about
34:11
how to address it with the uh with the
34:14
LG G3 so the
34:18
G3 has one of the most terrifying end
34:21
user license agreements that I've ever seen and just with the recent thing that
34:27
came out about their Smart TVs and how if you don't agree to it they just
34:30
downgrade you to a dumb TV it made me really uncomfortable to have like five
34:35
checkboxes to tick off including all this stuff about personal information
34:39
sharing just to use my phone this is why
34:42
PE more than one person asked me on Twitter if I would recommend getting a
34:46
G3 because of how much I like the G2 this was before I even saw the G3 so it
34:49
wasn't really fair but either way I said no because of the TV thing it's your
34:54
phone there's going to be way more personal stuff on your phone than your TV and they're being really Ultra creepy
34:59
about it yeah so I don't know man not a
35:02
big fan fan unfortunately this game isn't
35:06
launching but it's called it's called Pocket Tanks and it's badass so you can
35:11
they actually have um either Hot Seat multiplayer or you can actually do uh
35:16
land multiplayer cool so my wife and I will sit in bed with our laptops and
35:20
like fire little rockets at each other with our tanks and stuff she's pretty
35:26
good at it tanks she's been kicking my ass lately is it like old school tanks
35:29
but like new and improved it's not that new we've been playing it since we met
35:33
we met 9 years ago so okay there you go not new not new at
35:38
Alla okay I'm old and the things I do are
35:43
old along the lines of Android TV this
35:46
is interesting uh razor throwing Oh Come
35:51
onello technical
35:54
difficulties thanks for that l awesome
35:58
beatboxing that wasn't beatboxing even
36:01
is it just like making noises no is what
36:05
making noises is just making noises because I saw a beatboxing guy who was
36:09
like doing other random stuff oh form of
36:12
vocal P percussion yeah that's not percussion I'm
36:19
sorry yeah I guess you're closer but I still don't like
36:22
it um well this is unfortunate okay you might be on screen sharing Duty for the
36:26
rest of the show here oh okay what am i showing let's see if the issue is um my
36:31
output or if the issue is the what am i showing
36:36
capture um you're showing razer's gaming
36:39
micro console featuring Android TV
36:42
available this fall uh this was posted originally on the form by dietr W and it
36:47
looks like that screen sharing is not working anyway I'm afraid like I just I
36:52
fear for what might happen if I try to uh if I try to properly screen share
36:57
with you guys because what I'm going to have to do is I'm going to have to refresh my capture card which will about
37:02
nine times out of 10 um blue screen the computer blue screen the computer is
37:06
this not working for so I'm going to find another way to share with you guys
37:09
here we go we'll just do it this way this is no no it didn't work I tried it
37:14
already it's it's all good try try it now sure
37:18
okay yeah that didn't work okay so there we go um moving on I tried uh the micro
37:25
console all right so this was the original article is on end Gadget I'm
37:29
just going to sorry guys I got to do this kind of manually here this is going
37:32
to be kind of ghetto so add uh screen
37:37
region and there we
37:40
go hey that is beatboxing according to
37:43
you all right razer's micro console a gaming micro console with Android TV
37:48
available this fall it should be noted that this is just a render and this is
37:52
not the finalized Hardware although they haven't exactly gone out on a Lim in
37:56
terms of showing us something that's difficult to manufacture it's razor so
38:01
it's probably going to look something like that there's green underlow it's
38:04
black and there's a logo on the top uh matte black specifically okay okay okay
38:09
all right okay it's matte black also the logo is
38:13
shiny the logo is gloss so I get such a
38:17
kick out of the out of the press statement the micro console can stream
38:20
movies music and other apps for large screen entertainment with an emphasis on
38:25
gaming so it's go hardcore gaming so
38:30
it's Google Android TV and it's got an
38:33
NVIDIA chip inside it and
38:38
um probably it'll have game stream good job Razer so I think we just completely
38:44
predicted exactly everything about this product I think that's how they're going
38:47
to handle the hardcore gaming though and I'm really excited about that I think it makes as much sense as Steam OS um just
38:55
in home streaming whether it's through valve's solution or NVIDIA's solution is
38:59
definitely the future in my mind and uh one thing I'm interested in is how much
39:04
Steam OS might slow down Windows
39:08
piracy might not at all no okay tell me this uh
39:15
Libra office do you still use it uh I didn't use Libra office open
39:21
Office it's the same thing oh actually I do never mind I do use Libra office and
39:25
yes I still do use do you use it if you have a choice Yes actually oh all right
39:30
um but in certain situations I use it on my test bench when viewing test results
39:35
because it can there's an option that it can give you a preview window okay do
39:38
you use it when you have serious work to do that's serious work to do that's why
39:43
like you know what I mean and you're dodging the question over and over again
39:48
I might add no but we have legit copies of office that's true right so okay but
39:54
office office using Office 365 now
39:58
honestly for the price it's a great value subscription base I'm kind of sold
40:02
on when I was in school and stuff I just used open Office yeah but in school you
40:07
got free copies of office no I mean like not not that school oh okay right other
40:12
school yeah not like piracy school no
40:17
I'm just kidding through through his program at school he was able to get
40:20
copies of mic CU I was in a software development thing so you get the yeah
40:24
MERS allian Raz thing is named so far um
40:28
interface will be managed by Android TV expected this fall um this is kind of
40:33
funny ex Orbot from The Forum had a really great comment for the haters
40:38
saying that Ouya and Mojo were commercial failures this will be two and
40:43
then he responded to that saying how many consoles were unsuccessful or
40:47
moderately successful until the NES came along and made the formula work I
40:51
thought that was a really good point I don't necessarily agree that razer's
40:54
console is going to be the big winner here and I think it's probably going to
40:58
be some integration within TVs that is
41:02
going to finally gain traction not smart TV I think it'll be more like what
41:05
they're trying to do with cars yes Apple and Google have been talking about that
41:09
lately replacing the craptastic job that they've been doing making their cars
41:13
intelligent they'll be doing the same thing by replacing the craptastic job
41:16
that every single TV manufacturer has done with Smart TVs the problem with
41:20
okay the problem here though is the difference between car manufacturers and
41:23
TV makers because car manufactur curers
41:27
have been through the worst of it they're like okay we
41:32
suck we need outside help someone please
41:35
come tell us how to capture the minds and hearts of our customers again
41:40
please whereas TV makers are still living in like this castle of arrogance
41:47
that we can do no wrong and $40,000 TV
41:50
we're all going to create our own freaking ridiculously stupid way of
41:55
doing things that has nothing to do with anything else and this this comes back
41:59
to and it's not a TV it's the G3 again
42:02
but this comes back to my G3 review I'm just going to try and find my notes on
42:06
it it's probably not going to make it into my review because my review notes are five pages and my limit for myself
42:12
is two pages so but but this is this is great share and connect under networks
42:17
is like an LG proprietary sharing thing
42:20
and I'm just like what I have in here is LG and Samsung need to pull their heads
42:25
out of their asses and work with Open Standards on this kind of stuff I
42:30
challenge anyone at LG or Samsung to
42:33
come up with one time one time that some
42:38
proprietary stupid only within one brand
42:42
standard worked on a consumer product
42:45
one time I bet you can't it works with
42:49
professional grade stuff Sony gets away with it with professional grade stuff
42:54
because professionals have the budget to go and invest in an entire ecosystem
42:59
whereas consumers buy things peace meal I mean think about how you buy things as
43:03
a consumer things other than food let's talk about more expensive stuff
43:06
obviously you go buy food you buy an entire meal so you go and you buy a
43:10
hamburger you buy some fries and you buy something else and you expect all those things to go together reasonably well
43:14
but let's say you go and you buy a house
43:18
lus doesn't cook much actually let's not let's not talk about let's not talk
43:21
about house let's come up with something uh um something with a lot of pieces
43:26
that kind of work okay let's say you furnish a house there's a great example
43:31
do you go and buy all the same brand Furniture just because there's a chance
43:36
that it will operate together correctly or do you buy what suits your taste and
43:40
what's appropriate to each of the different things that you're trying to
43:44
achieve that's how people buy things consumers that's how consumers buy
43:48
things and a lot of times especially in the technology space you might buy
43:52
something and then 3 years later you have to buy something else and then even
43:55
if you did buy within the same ecosystem they're probably not going to work
43:58
together anyways I know my favorite is the Galaxy Tab 10.1 the original one
44:03
that didn't get support for all share yeah whereas the um the cellular
44:09
everyone's saying they all buy Ika Furniture
44:14
wrecked Get Wrecked oh it's so true the
44:17
cellular uh Wireless version had it and there was like a firmware hack that the
44:22
Samsung rep was telling me I could do and I'm just like really why don't you
44:26
guys just enable this crap you're locking your own customers out of your
44:29
own stupid proprietary thing that doesn't even work that well anyway yeah
44:34
yeah and like I I actually don't know anyone that buys a new a new PC laptop
44:39
phone fridge washing machine dryer TV tablet
44:45
all at the same time on game console now and game console like what it's like it
44:52
just doesn't work that way no no amount
44:55
of trying to make make it work that way is going to make it work going to make
44:58
it work that way all right we should probably do our sponsor spot here so uh
45:04
this is cool you guys some of you anyway are going to probably like this I
45:07
thought it was pretty neat stay on this page I guess save the pages save the
45:11
changes um leave this page here we go so
45:15
this is fun we actually had a really great live stream with Intel earlier
45:20
this week I'm going to post it in the twitch chat here and I'm going to go
45:24
ahead I'm going to throw up the lower the lower third that we used for it so
45:28
it was # Devils Canyon and Intel's new
45:32
CPUs uh just launched and we actually had one of their product marketing
45:37
Engineers uh his name is Darren Lynch on the show to talk about behind the scenes
45:44
which is something so guys go ahead bookmark that go watch it later it's
45:47
only about an hour long and it's really really informative because there's a ton
45:51
of stuff about what goes on to bring a
45:55
CPU you to Market that you don't even think about I mean we were talking about
45:59
all kinds of crazy options like having a liquid cooler in the Box having a
46:03
goldplated IHS I mean these are things they've considered and he talked about
46:07
the reasons why they would be cool the reasons why they just don't work in the
46:12
real world um even things like changing the box he talks about the challenges
46:16
involved in that and it might not sound that interesting right now but it was
46:21
like something like remember when AMD did that tin box for the FX processors
46:26
it's he kind of laughed when I brought it up because he was like yeah it's
46:29
funny you mention that because um I can tell you exactly how much that box cost
46:33
we ran out and looked at how much it would cost to Source it in fact we've
46:37
done it several times both before and after the competitor did it just and
46:41
just every time we just kind of looked at it and we went you know like we've
46:45
looked at packaging for extreme editions that's like a column like a clear column
46:49
that has the CPU floating at the top that would be pretty Co and he's just
46:52
like but that package is going to cost $50 so I mean do we take that out of our
46:58
margin do we charge the customer another 50 bucks then you get customers
47:01
complaining they're paying $50 for packaging and he's like and frankly I
47:04
agree with them yeah so that's why it just comes in this box and uh I because
47:10
I and it was funny because I didn't actually realize at the time that I had
47:15
someone who had as much influence on the call cuz I was like yeah and what's up
47:20
with Intel changing the extreme Edition packages to Blue instead of black and
47:24
he's like well that was actually me who made that
47:27
call awkward yeah so he was straight up
47:31
responsible for some of the things that I've been whining about for the last few
47:35
years and it was really interesting to get his and he wasp yeah he was really
47:40
honest which was really refreshing and really cool so guys I'm going to link
47:43
that one more time and you should definitely check it out because it was
47:47
super educational and uh there you go
47:50
all right so let's move on to our next sponsor today and that is do Shave Club
47:57
if I could find there it is arranged
48:00
your Arenal all right so I have all the
48:04
Dollar Shave Club stuff now here you can hold these thank you so

basically guys Dollar Shave Club if you're not familiar with it already is
48:14
the fast easy way to get highquality
48:17
shaving and bathroom supplies delivered to your door and it's funny because I
48:24
actually had someone joking on Twitter about why Dollar Shave Club would
48:28
sponsor this guy when they could sponsor someone with you know a manly awesome
48:33
beard like Logan instead to which I have
48:36
this to say over the last few days oh no
48:39
my screen sharing is not working anymore
48:43
all right I wanted to share my screen with you guys that on the network oh no
48:47
but it could be yes okay I will do that so I'll share this on the network and
48:52
then I will you guys should have seen him on Highlander he tried to be a
48:56
Highlander yep I was like I he was Grizzly I was I was like yeah I'm going
49:01
to do this so people are like he was lonus Grizzly yeah lus can't even grow a
49:05
beard why does Dollar Shave Club you know sponsor this guy and the answer is
49:09
because if they didn't then it's possible that you would have to deal
49:13
with this oh he's hideous that is what I
49:19
look like if I have about four days of
49:22
of stubble it's disgusting it's horrible and thanks to Dollar Shave club's high
49:27
quality razors that you can get delivered to you once a month so you can
49:31
use a fresh razor for a nice clean and comfortable shave every single week you
49:36
don't have to look at that isn't it
49:40
awful everyone should sign up for Dollar Shave Club right now so that they never
49:43
have to look at or like that that's the
49:47
most compelling pitch that I can come up with also they have other great products
49:51
their shave butter makes things more comfortable for you to you know take the
49:55
hair off your face with also it goes on clear so you can see what you're doing
49:59
and finally one wipe charlies's which I could do a live demonstration for you
50:04
with but no I'm getting okay no one wants a live demonstration peppermint
50:07
scented butt wipes for men I'm sure someone wants a live demon they just plain do a better job think about it
50:12
this way baby wipes are they premoistened or are they dry they're pre
50:18
they're premoistened they're pre moistened you're asking the wrong person
50:22
adult toilet paper is it pre moistened or is it dry it's dry what's more
50:28
effective to remove something a baby wipe or a piece of toilet
50:32
paper there you go all right and our
50:35
last one is Squarespace so this one is
50:39
actually fun we're going to do our winner announcement from last week so
50:44
we're going to search for # Linus Squarespace where I asked anyone who has
50:49
used our offer code so that's offer code
50:52
lonus over the last little while I asked for everyone to submit your own
50:57
Squarespace sites and we were going to pick a winner at random so we're going
51:02
to do that in a moment but first guys Squarespace is the easy fast affordable
51:07
way to make a beautiful website it really truly is we use it for
51:11
linusmediagroup tocom Luke's building his own website with it it's just plain
51:16
better and easier to use than a lot of
51:19
other options out there they have 247 tech support all their templates look
51:24
really great and they've got different templates that are designed for all
51:27
kinds of different uses whether you want a little site for your small business a
51:31
store a Blog a portfolio it'll look
51:34
great on the desktop on mobile on laptop everything in between maybe not on a
51:38
watch although I should let the Squarespace guys know I want to see like
51:43
like um you know circular web design
51:46
Google Google Wear optimized Squarespace
51:49
templates in the near future if they can offer that then they'll be the first to
51:54
have the world's most pointless feature So Random now we can web browse
52:00
like this what's that can't see seriously
52:04
though Squarespace has features that matter like enabling you to just uh use
52:09
their logo designer to create a cool logo for yourself it's actually really
52:12
fast to use we did it live once and it took us like a couple minutes to make a
52:16
cool logo and like preview it on a business card I wasn't quite done
52:20
building my website because of e3 stuff and everything that came up when my
52:23
trial ran up and I felt so bad cuz they
52:27
like send you these emails they're like what could we have done better and I'm
52:30
like nothing you were fine it was me I'm
52:34
sorry there was nothing wrong with you I had to go on a trip and work I promise
52:39

52:44
ever all right so here is our featured
52:48
Squarespace site oh I can't screens share with you go to URL there I'll go
52:53
to the URL over here this is driving me but
52:57
dendi is not ugly I don't know why that person even said that he was but so

53:13

54:53
how we could get a GoPro running for an
54:56
entire year at a time or not an entire year for an entire day at a time and we
55:01
figured you could probably do it with their proprietary interface if you could
55:05
have a video feed to an external recorder and then you could have an
55:10
external battery and then both ends of the of the connection would have to be
55:14
waterproof and like damage proof you case for it so that the connector is
55:19
like made into the case so that it's waterproof and stuff but if there's some
55:22
way to do that even if it's not waterproof
55:25
someone tell me because that's way too cool all right anyway so just one more

55:46
today um Dollar Shave Club right so head
55:49
over to dollarshaveclub.com and sign up now so
55:54
that you don't look like a scary scary person should I make them look at it one
55:58
more time sure oh my gosh look at him
56:03
he's a hideous I wish I could zoom it in more
56:06
we really should have taken that picture right when you got off the mountain CU
56:10
we just all looked so messed up I know I
56:13
don't think my eyes have ever looked that sunken before in my life I I I told
56:19
you I went to the washroom and looked in the mirror when we got to that restaurant and was just like what I
56:24
hardly recognized my own face me too like it was it was pretty horrible and
56:29
uh thank goodness I have I have shaved now you know what's funny is uh that
56:34
reminds me of something that I thought of at the beginning of the show to
56:37
improve the show so I made you guys look at that but check this out I came up
56:40
with this brilliant idea oh yeah check this
56:45
out oh the W show now with 30% more
56:52
handsome sure and he never needed a Cod host again see what I was trying to say
56:57
is that he should at least try to find some way to delay that video there's got
57:01
to be some way I would be surprised if
57:04
you can do that I don't think so as long as we
57:09
don't crash xsplit you're okay yeah I know we're good I don't want to mess
57:12
with it anymore but if you could have one side that was delayed a little bit
57:17
so it like looked at least slightly like there was two different movements that
57:22
would be pretty cool I guess that would help a lot okay I'm I'm go ahead and get
57:25
rid of that I'm sorry you guys I you have like Linus and then make the other
57:28
one like that that weird inverted color thing so it's like lonus and Hulk lus
57:34
I've put you guys through so much today all right the original poster for this
57:37
one was diff dlf I don't know whatever
57:41
um so forbes.com is the article that we're using to reference here and PS Now
57:46
prices have been leaked someone told me to push you out of the way so it was
57:49
double me oh for crying out loud it just
57:53
keeps screwing up the screen I think what I have to do is just
57:58
do this and then we can all look at
58:01
forbes's and continue to the site thanks Forbes thanks for that dog all right
58:07
PlayStation Now a good idea with a bad plan says the writer so pretty much uh
58:13
we're looking at pricing anywhere from4 to 7 us to rent a game for a week you
58:19
can rent for 4 hours 7 days 30 days or
58:22
90 days with some time periods unavailable for some games there are a
58:27
couple of issues with the way that they're handling it though so pricing is
58:30
a little bit questionable with 4our
58:34
chunks of time coming in at around I think it's $3 to4 so you're paying near
58:40
or about a dollar an hour to play the game um something that might be okay if
58:45
you just want to try it before you buy
58:49
um but I mean another factor is that these are mostly older games and I'm
58:53
kind of sitting here going like I could probably find one in a used bin and pay
58:58
like 15 bucks for it or 10 bucks or 20 bucks and own it forever someone in the
59:02
chat said or just get the same price on a steam sale and that well remember this
59:06
is this is PlayStation games so so this is like their yeah um and then it's up
59:12
to about $30 for a 90day period and
59:16
again with an older game you're looking at a situation where for 30 bucks you
59:20
could probably just own it forever and get a disc um I think the biggest here
59:25
is not the idea I I think the idea of of
59:29
renting games digitally is still fine
59:32
the the Forbes article right the the Forbes author criticizes this concept in
59:37
general and says something like a subscription based service would be much better but I suspect Sony's Sony's hands
59:43
are pretty much tied on that one I don't think they'd be able to do it well they
59:47
yeah because right now they're leaving pricing up to the publisher and I think
59:51
they'd have to and I think they would have to do that I mean it's much like Steam valve doesn't set the pricing for
59:56
a third party title yeah so valve can't just come in and say okay we're going to
60:00
have a steam subscription you pay 60 bucks a month and you can play any game
60:05
on Steam because do that they'd have to set up like a Netflix like service which
60:08
would be Insanity how do you how do you divvy up the funds according to what got
60:13
watched um or maybe you do or maybe you don't I don't know it seems like it
60:18
seems like we're asking for a lot and at least this is a step in the right
60:21
direction in terms of digital distribution um
60:25
it's just it's not quite there yet it's got to be cheaper older games in
60:29
particular probably shouldn't be very expensive um one one issue I have with
60:35
sort of paper use in general is that it's going to lead developers even more
60:41
down that path where multiplayer is the only thing that matters because they're
60:45
going to be optimizing for playtime yeah
60:48
rather than necessarily compelling storytelling which is something that
60:52
does have a value yeah like uh I know transistor isn't really the longest game
60:56
ever but it ends when it should end like
60:59
I feel like they if they added things to it and they made it longer it would have just been wasted time have you played
61:04
much Bravely Default yet speaking of games that don't end when they should
61:07
end no I haven't okay not much I played a little bit you're driving me crazy cuz
61:11
I don't want to spoil the game for you cuz there are parts of it that are good
61:15
but I haven't had any time yeah I know
61:18
and then like on the plane back which when I was intending to play it I was
61:21
just like
61:25
no way that was happening I passed out so hard on the plane back from
61:28
Highlander me too well we you be passed out on the floor in the airport yeah
61:33
that's true before the plane we did do that thing all right so the op for the
61:37
first Android and that is to say robot not Android the mobile operating system
61:42
it's real confusing yeah I know right a newscaster this was posted by top war
61:46
Gamer In The Forum and this stuff is
61:50
scary man I'm going to go ahead and load up the YouTube video here here I
61:54
apologize for this slightly less elegant than usual way of doing this um let's go
62:00
ahead got the whole need to see your
62:03
your taskbar well whatever man I don't care um so screen share with Linus we go
62:09
ahead and maximize that so Japan unveils the world's first Android newscaster so
62:14
he hands her a piece of paper um apparently the robot has perfect
62:18
language skills and a sense of humor man that's creepy um this guy is slightly
62:23
less creepy he's well he's done he's made like that's the guy that made the robot of himself that was actually even
62:28
crazier than this there's certain times when it's like like this chick when
62:33
she's sitting at certain points in time and when it pans past the other girl
62:37
very specific points in time where it's very hard to tell other than that though
62:40
the the movements you can still tell that one I think the other girl looks
62:44
more realistic in my opinion yeah probably anyway she's uh she's reading
62:49
some news about an earthquake um obviously a lot of this is programmed
62:52
right now and they're not able to just kind of come up with things on their own
62:57
but the objective is to keep improving this and uh yeah I guess
63:03
uh the future is going to be an interesting time and place this brings
63:06
up a conversation that I actually brought up when we were at the airport
63:10
mm which is where everyone is using the automated terminals yep and I I noticed
63:14
one of the big things that we got Flack for on the show not Flack but one of the
63:17
big things that became a conversation when we've talked about automation on
63:20
the show before is people have brought up that people need human inter action
63:25
and I see that being disproven everywhere the amount of times that I
63:29
see people voluntarily go through the self- automated checkout instead of the
63:33
person driven checkout at stores is getting more and more and more and then
63:37
now at airports it almost becomes frustrating to have to deal with
63:42
people it's kind of annoying because it's like oh I have to deal with this
63:46
person who's probably going to be a jerk when I could have maybe just gotten
63:49
through the terminal with no problem the flip side of that is that on both our
63:53
flight to Denver and our flight back the
63:56
autal terminal systems ever that's the problem the automated terminal didn't
64:00
pick up my reservation on the way there and then yours and Ed's reservations on
64:05
the way back because it thought we already checked in which is really bad
64:09
and we had to go talk to a person so
64:12
they can make them better though but that's that's that's I I don't know
64:15
about that whole required human interaction argument flip side okay so
64:19
I'm going to get you to cover this one because um you're the VR
64:25
yeah so this project was originally
64:28
thought of by uh French googlers David CA and Damen Henry in part of their 20%
64:34
thing which I thought was gone but is apparently still here so that's cool so
64:40
the 20% thing is where 20% of your time at Google has to be spent doing kind of
64:45
your own independent projects and then uh people thought this thing was so
64:49
freaking cool that they jumped on and made sdks for it and it actually became
64:52
a much bigger deal is this screen sharing yep so you basic you saw it if you click
64:56
it again I think it goes back together if you scroll up more I think there's a
65:01
way to make it go SL you keep scrolling out if you there we go there we go you
65:05
manually scroll it it goes slower so you can see this is the package that people
65:08
got at Google IO you can't just buy this I don't think so if you went to Google
65:13
IO you got this package so you pull the tab thing and then it folds out all
65:17
nicely but you can make this on your own uh if you have a laser cutter they
65:20
actually have the file that you need for the laser cutter to able to read that
65:25
file and then cut it for you or there's instructions on how to cut it with like
65:29
a nice exacto knife or something like that and the magnet on the side with the
65:34
like washer thing that's sitting there is actually a a Buton they can't see you
65:37
but sure now they can there's a magnet on the side which I I actually wanted
65:41
you to scroll to it not look at me but either way there's a magnet on the side
65:45
which looks like it doesn't really have a use but if you're looking at something and you want to select it you just pull
65:49
the magnet down which is actually really smart and it apparently works really
65:53
well from the videos that I've seen which is really cool um they haven't
65:57
tried it on a ton of phones yet fully compatible phones are Google Nexus 4 and
66:01
five Motorola Moto X Samsung Galaxy S4
66:04
and5 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus partially compatible phones are HTC1 Motorola Moto
66:10
G and Samsung Galaxy S3 that's really not a ton of phones um it's a but 180
66:17
Meg app and includes a bunch of stuff that you can do already so you can fly
66:21
around on Google Earth uh you can go on a tour of Versa with a local guide you
66:26
can watch YouTube videos on a massive screen so it's just using the lenses so
66:30
that the lenses are one of the things you have to figure out how to Source they help you though so you use those
66:35
lenses to make the screen appear much larger and further away than it is and
66:39
and it is a custom YouTube app like if you're watching the video and you look over to the right there will be other
66:43
video selections and you can use that thing on the side to select those videos like it's fairly interesting I don't
66:48
know um I mean obviously this isn't going to take the place of something
66:52
like Oculus like we were joking in the int it's not trying to though it's some
66:56
things that'll be really interesting is stuff like street view stuff like Google
67:00
Earth um the the Versa local guide wind
67:04
windy day windy day will be really cool I've used I've used windy day on Moto X
67:08
I don't know if you have um It's actually kind of fun even with just the
67:11
Moto X being able to do it with a cardboard thing would be kind of awesome
67:16
windy day is kind of a little interactive thing where you kind of look around with your screen and it's kind of
67:20
like a little movie but but in VR you of
67:24
inter you control the camera ESS so you follow this hat pretty much that's what
67:28
happens but it's actually it's pretty cool PR neat yeah I'm definitely going
67:32
to make one I don't have access to a laser cutter so I'm probably going to
67:36
try to get a really sharp knife and do
67:39
the best that I can I'm not going to Pizza Box it I'm actually going to try
67:43
and Source like proper materials so I'll see how I can do there if you are
67:48
interested in making one definitely go to Google's website which I believe is
67:52
developers.google.com / cardboard because they actually have sourced
67:57
everything for you already it's very possibly out of stock because a whole
68:01
bunch of people have been buying them and if you look at one of them and then
68:04
look at the um items frequently bought together they're all the other ones so
68:09
they're pretty easy to find um but yeah it's they also help you
68:14
Source it locally so they'll be like here's an Amazon or other website link
68:17
to this product and also here's all of its specs if you want to try and find it
68:22
somewhere else that you can buy it all right another news Intel has apparently
68:26
asked AMD for access to mantle for an
68:30
experiment so there's nothing that
68:33
sounds super committal the original article here is from tweak town from
68:37
Intel on this I mean basically yeah for
68:40
an experiment um they have reaffirmed
68:43
their position with direct X saying they are still committed to this open
68:48
standard that um they think is going to continue to drive the industry forward
68:52
and address the the previous issues with
68:56
um API overhead and all the stuff that mantle was looking to try to help
69:01
developers with but that isn't to say that Intel is completely dismissing it
69:05
which I think is really interesting because as much as there's the whole AMD
69:10
versus NVIDIA Fanboy War something that
69:13
a lot of people forget is that Intel actually has more market share for
69:18
graphics then the two of the others combined and this has been true for
69:23
years and years and years and years it's actually something that Darren our our
69:28
expert from Intel brought up and so if
69:31
Intel were to stay committed to directex
69:35
that could pretty much dictate the direction the industry goes and if Intel
69:39
were to get on board with mantle along with the 47 game developers that are
69:43
signed up for the API then that could
69:46
dictate the direction that the industry goes it's amazing how much power Intel
69:51
has in very strange ways some
69:54
um that the article also mentions is that NVIDIA has only signed up krych and
70:00
Ubisoft to its Game Works program however I think that that could be a
70:04
little bit deceptive I don't think that AAA uh game makers are the ones who are
70:09
going to mostly take advantage of a program like Gameworks I see that more
70:14
as an indie play and I think we might see more come out of that in the next
70:18
couple of years but um apparently AMD
70:22
responded by asking Intel for a month or two until it's out of closed beta and um
70:28
there we go an Intel spokesperson said at the time of initial mantle announcement we were already
70:32
investigating rendering overhead based on game developer feedback Our Hope was
70:36
to build consensus on potential approaches to reduce overhead with additional data we have publicly asked
70:41
them to share the spec with us several times as part of examination of potential ways to improve apis and
70:45
increase efficiencies so that doesn't really sound a whole lot like they're
70:49
planning to use mantle or push towards mantle just want to mess with it it
70:53
sounds more like they just want to dink around with it in the lab which is I
70:56
don't know that's cool I get it maybe optimizations or something who knows uh
71:01
the Moto 360 watch face competition is over this is actually the one I liked
71:05
best even though I didn't end up voting one yeah yeah yeah yeah there there was
71:10
a couple that I was like oo I would have absolutely no problem with that one this
71:14
was definitely the one that I liked best yeah me too I mean as much as I don't
71:18
prefer to read an analog face if I don't
71:22
have to this looks really good yeah it does uh the one thing that does bother
71:27
me is a lot of the space is taken up with telling me the time whereas I would
71:33
like for a lot of the space to be taken up with reading my text message I have
71:36
pretty good eyes it can and I like small fonts yes I know you can you can change
71:40
it out to whatever you want but I wish that instead of just having an icon for
71:45
Gmail there was more room on the main watch face to to to
71:50
read messages like if we could put the time up here and then have message
71:54
previews down here something person I don't mind that because I don't want it to be aggressive yep and I don't I don't
72:00
hate this either I actually quite like well you said it was your favorite one I
72:04
didn't think you hated it just like personally I I don't like reading things
72:08
until I want to read them I end up marking things unread a lot because I'll
72:12
accidentally click on something and just be like damn it I need to read this later I'm not ready for this right now
72:16
so I don't mind it's kind of hiding in there for now this is funny because it
72:21
kind of ties into one of our sponsors
72:24
um where dollar oh right I keep forgetting that we're not doing the
72:30
normal thing uh this ties into one of our sponsors pretty well because Dollar
72:34
Shave club's whole thing is you know oh
72:37
razors with vibrating handles and all these features that actually don't do
72:42
anything we don't do any of that stuff um well this is oral be's new toothbrush
72:48
that pairs to your phone via Bluetooth freaking genius so this is supposed to
72:53
be by Nan and basically it gives you a
72:56
bunch of information including things like how you can brush for better
73:00
results and it can share your uh your
73:04
brushing habits with your healthc Care Professionals something that I'm sure
73:08
that my dentist would be like what if I
73:12
told them about it I care and there's that one time that you leave it plugged
73:16
in and on it's like he brushed for 3
73:19
days like what I'm sure there's a SA
73:23
guard against that I'm sure you sure I'm
73:27
pretty sure remember the zero voltage thing that happened no what is this that
73:33
that certain that certain board that reports voltage of your CPU and it was
73:37
like zero volts oh yeah right things that you would think it would just have
73:42
you like sanity checks built-in sanity checks need to be a thing yeah because
73:47
without them you can end up with some really funny software stuff um EV blog
73:53
how however he pronounces that this this is yeah anyways this is actually pretty
73:56
interesting uh posted a great video about how solar roadways are basically
74:03
um grade A BS um did the math and pretty
74:07
much at the end of the video the conclusion is they would consume more
74:13
power than they produce they have proven
74:16
absolutely nothing with respect to what
74:19
they can handle in terms of weight and what they can handle in terms of
74:24
traction um they are extremely expensive
74:28
you can watch the video here on the Forum if you want the original poster
74:32
here was jurr or something along those
74:37
lines um I mean it's a great idea in theory they raised over $2 million
74:42
through crowdfunding but it is pretty unlikely that this will see the light of
74:47
day in this generation it's something that we talked about originally on the
74:51
show and we kind of went okay yeah something a lot of people are
74:56
saying in twitch chat and uh yeah we know is that there's actually been a lot
75:00
of videos about this out for a long time this but this one was really good yeah
75:04
well some of the other ones are pretty good too but yeah either way so I mean
75:09
yeah so what we need then is just some
75:12
kind of outlandish idea that sounds like
75:16
really great to Eco Freaks and then we
75:19
need like a really great campaign video
75:22
and then freaking roadways well that wasn't their campaign video that's the
75:26
funny thing about it no but that's what drove more yes it drove a lot of it so
75:30
then we need like that we need to find that guy to make our our viral our viral
75:35
video should be like solar
75:39
trees they grow with
75:43
sunlight you should fund us they also make oxygen wow you need that to live
75:48
isn't that freaking awesome they look great in your yard and they live for
75:54
hundreds of years they're seasonal W or
75:58
they're not maybe not it's up to you
76:01
Evergreen you have the choice man
76:05
Evergreen can be a stretch
76:08
goal and growing your own weed plant can be the next stretch
76:13
goal stimulate economies if they make it
76:17
legal oh it's funny cuz we were in
76:21
Colorado yeah all right also posted by Twisted dictator on the Forum Witcher
76:26
three to feature boob
76:29
physics which is one of those things where it's like if Witcher 3 was the
76:33
first game to include boob physics then
76:37
this I guess good boob physics but apparently next power up thought it was
76:41
new so my favorite thing is either either they jump around and they just
76:45
sit there like solid bricks or they jump around and then they go like no one can
76:49
see you right now but I think they should probably see that illustration of
76:53
what you were talking about so I said I'm sorry how did you want the boobs to move again I didn't say I wanted them to
76:57
move this way I said with bad boob physics they do move this way so either
77:01
they jump around and they just sit there which is not realistic or they jump
77:05
around and then like a while afterwards it's like
77:09
oh that's not how they work either we've seen that in quite a few games and it
77:13
gets super stupid after a while or like there'll be a slight movement like
77:17
they'll just slightly get bumped and it's like
77:22
oh they'll just sit there bouncing for a while it's like no you know the thing is
77:27
if these real if these strategies didn't work game developers wouldn't do it so
77:33
for all the people who get all upset about this kind of thing just if you
77:37
didn't buy into it if you didn't make a bunch of noise about it it would go away
77:41
I'm down for more realistic gameplay so if they if they make that realistic
77:44
that's cool I think it should be and I'm all for equality so I think we should
77:47
have like realistic testicle
77:51
physics you know what if C you're playing rust if CD project red wanted to
77:58
seem like you know very uh equality
78:01
minded then they could they would definitely do that like if we had
78:06
realistic junk swaying but then there isn't that many games other than like
78:10
rust that you're actually going to see that yeah but they could well boobs are
78:15
very exterior you're going to see them even if they're covered up okay the
78:18
thing about the thing about the thing about breasts though is that game
78:21
developers designed game around making
78:24
sure that the breast physics are on display the whole time so they design
78:29
the female characters out you want someone to design a game based around
78:35
yeah having the junk physics there for
78:38
the world to see why not so the camera angle is going to have to be like down
78:44
all what or like you know how okay you
78:47
know how Laura Croft like shamelessly provocatively stretches whenever you're
78:52
not doing anything for so some dude's going to have to do like the unstick
78:55
step it's going to have to have realistic
78:59
physics or just like the you know the cry adjustment you
79:04
know oh no okay oh wow swimming
79:09
simulator 2014 yes all the banana hammocks we need the
79:15
NVIDIA to add that into their their their yeah Gameworks library for for
79:19
like junk physics
79:24
and all the viewers left no twitch
79:27
breaks every I know twitch breaks I'm just kidding oh man oh people on the
79:32
twitch chat are like stop please and
79:35
it's funny because your timing is excellent I think we're pretty much done
79:39
here are there any other topics in the dock you really wanted to hit uh we
79:43
didn't talk about Highlander at all but I guess we have all the videos coming so
79:46
it's not yeah Highlander videos will be coming you're going to see videos from
79:50
Austin you're going to see videos from us oh okay this is kind of a big deal
79:54
Microsoft is offering this was originally posted by good bites on the Forum Microsoft is offering up to $650
80:00
off a Surface Pro 3 if you exchange a MacBook Air at a Microsoft Store it does
80:06
have to be working but quite frankly I would take the
80:11
MacBook Air over the surface at this point which isn't to say I would buy a
80:17
Macbook but you bought a service I did but I'm going to sell it for yeah not
80:22
for MacBook yeah not for a Macbook I'm going to keep using my XPS 12 whoops
80:27
because to me this with the okay so here oops
80:34
that's basically how it works but okay so you get a little bit of not much more
80:40
thinness and it is lighter and it is smaller like it's significantly lighter
80:45
than the XPS 12 is it enough that it matters though like no it's it's enough
80:52
it's it's something okay so you get you get more thinness so there's that I mean
80:57
I'm not making the point here about the thinness it really is thinner you didn't
81:01
make much of a point about thinness or weight because there's not much weight
81:04
difference between there is a significant weight difference um but the
81:07
problem for me is that Windows 8 is not
81:11
a good tablet experience it's actually nothing to do with the hardware the
81:14
hardware the hardware is very beautiful
81:17
um pick it up more and then yeah junk
81:21
physics not that I'm calling the surface junk um the the problem is just there's
81:26
not enough USB ports two USB ports is minimum to call it like a reasonably
81:31
functional PC we get one um it does have mini DisplayPort out which is nice
81:36
compared to other tablets there's no SD card reader to my knowledge although
81:40
they might have hidden one under there no they didn't so there's no SD card reader or anything like that it is very
81:44
beautiful the kickstand is a lot better than the first gen which is the last
81:49
time I tried one it comes all the way out here so that gives you a lot of
81:52
different different options like you can sit on a plane and you can uh like lean
81:56
it up against the seat in front of you the magnetic lock for the keyboard is
82:00
pretty robust which is cool so you can kind of like lean it up against
82:03
something in bed or you can put it down here and you can rest it on your knee
82:07
and you can legitimately use it and all that stuff is great but the question I
82:12
have to ask myself is why would I ever use it without the keyboard and then if
82:17
I'm never going to use it without the keyboard then why wouldn't I just want
82:21
my keyboard occasionally attached once in a while I do use Windows 8 as a
82:27
tablet sorry yeah permanently attached like this once in a while I do use
82:32
Windows 8 as a tablet when that happens
82:35
this may be bulkier but it's good enough
82:38
because I'm not going to do it very often and that's going to be basically
82:42
the conclusion of my Surface review um
82:46
apparently Wendell has an SD card reader maybe I didn't find it I'm not done my
82:49
review yet like I'm not actually filming this until next week so I haven't
82:53
basically the way that I usually do my reviews is um it's under the hinge it's
82:58
under the hinge apparently that's a really weird oh that seems pretty
83:03
sensible under the hinge eh I don't I
83:06
don't oh maybe that's the micro SD slot right there there you go why would you
83:10
put micro SD on it really oh oh headache
83:15
anyway um
83:19
oh not helpful when I'm offloading footage on a
83:23
video set or something like that um oh
83:27
anyway where was I going with this right so the way I typically do a review is I
83:31
figure out as much as I can on my own without really looking at any other
83:35
media coverage of it then I go back and I look at sort of the launch press
83:39
release and all that stuff to make sure that I'm not missing anything critical so I would have figured the SD card out
83:44
I'm still not particularly pleased with it and I'm still not going to switch
83:48
from a convertible like this because it just doesn't make any sense to me I use
83:52
it as a tablet so rarely that I might as well have something that here this is
83:57
this is the ultimate example of why I'm
84:01
not going to use this because I can use it in my
84:06
lap sort of but why have this which if I
84:10
go to you know oh pick it up and it falls apart why have that when I can
84:16
just have this which is weighted correctly to not fall off the back of me
84:20
I can pick it up however I want I can turn it around I can use it like this
84:24
it's just a lot more flexible it's a lot more practical and it's cheaper so at
84:29
the same price I would take the XPS 12 at a lower price I would definitely take
84:34
the xps2 um I don't know that there are many
84:38
other convertibles that I like better than the xps2 though Sony's is terrible
84:42
like just tragic
84:46
um I I don't have a ton of experience with different convertibles I like that
84:50
one a lot though the yoga is excellent I when we had the yoga at at the ncx
84:55
office I liked it a lot oh people are bringing up the pen for the surface as
84:59
someone who doesn't use a pen um I'm not a big fan um people who are talking
85:04
about note taking with a pen yeah I I get that um however show them the thing
85:10
which thing oh the fact that the only way to take a screenshot is with the pen
85:14
oh no I meant like like oh right so my
85:18
issue with the pen is that it doesn't stash in the device and the Geniuses at
85:23
Microsoft I'm sure they're very smart legitimately but this is how you're
85:27
supposed to attach the pen to the surface there's a little magnet where
85:31
the uh where the the the charging port is that you're supposed to attach the
85:36
pen to it just comes off and then and then if you get a type cover the the
85:41
Innovative solution there is you stick a sticker on it don't worry any word oh
85:45
okay you stick a sticker to it and then you put the pen through the loop on the
85:49
sticker and I'm just like really you guys engineered
85:52
a fraction of a scent solution to a problem that actually matters that's
85:56
what you did just there I yeah like I the reason why I like how the 2DS is
86:00
made is it's super easy to get the pen because that's where they put the colored strap along the back it's not
86:05
even a strap like the colored piece of plastic is where the pen goes super easy
86:09
to grab it super easy to put it back I get that it's thin and that's great but
86:14
I'm sorry I just I'm not keeping it I was going to keep it if it was if it was
86:18
fantastic the keyboard though is not nearly as bad as people are making it
86:22
out to be I actually quite like the type cover keyboard it's surprisingly good so
86:28
there's that all right I think we're done here
86:32
guys thank you for watching The W show
86:35
if you're tuning in late the archive will be up on the YouTube sometime in
86:39
the next little while or up on Twitch immediately for those of you we had
86:43
someone complaining on the uh on the Forum about how the archive goes up
86:47
really late and it's just
86:50
like it's up right away on Twitch and they're just like I don't want to watch
86:53
on Twitch I'm like okay it's kind of like when people message me on Facebook
86:57
um hey uh I noticed on your Facebook it
87:00
says not to message you on Facebook and to message you on Twitter but um I don't
87:05
have Twitter so I'm messaging you here
87:08
I'm just like Twitter's free man sorry
87:12
there's a reason that I only accept messages on Twitter and here I will
87:15
screen share with you guys I will show you why I only accept messages on
87:21
Twitter I'm going to go on Facebook right now and I'm share with you guys
87:25
you're not screen sharing right now right nope okay cool not yet okay so
87:30
I'mma I'mma go on my I'mma go on my lonus tech Twitter Facebook
87:36
Malian okay here we go Twitter my
87:39
Facebook mation so here's my screen here
87:42
is why I will never reply to Facebook
87:46
messages because when I click on them
87:49
and I write a reply hello sorry I don't
87:53
reply to Facebook messages press enter to send actually
87:59
it's a lot faster now okay well they they're doing better it used to be
88:03
really really slow to load messages that slow it's better now that
88:08
was still pretty slow no that's pretty fast okay it used to be really slow now
88:11
I don't have an excuse but still RDM RTM
88:14
well there's there's there's there's methodology now you don't want to answer
88:18
there you want to answer someone else yes and the thing about Twitter too is I
88:21
get a lot of people tweeting me saying hey I want to ask you a question that's longer than 140 characters um how do I
88:26
do that and the answer is you don't because I get too many messages um the
88:31
best thing to do if you have a tech question is to post on the lineus tech
88:35
tips Forum it's like really good it is
88:38
that's a good place to go and ask questions because if you don't get the right answer the first time um someone
88:43
else will post the right answer at some point so someone do that and then Tweet
88:48
back to me saying that no one answered them they tweeted I checked times on
88:51
things they tweeted me like 3 minutes after they had posted their thing I
88:55
checked it like 30 minutes afterwards and by the time I checked it there was a
88:58
page and a half of comments nice I was like we should probably end the show at
89:03
some point here but I could I could gr tweets forever I have I am doing
89:07
Afterparty tonight and I am doing my 24-hour charity stream that I talked
89:10
about this weekend I don't know exactly when it'll start but it's happening you're crazy Child's Play Man Child's
89:15
Play is cool all right peace out guys bye
89:19
everyone oh dang it that
89:23
wasn't should we be
89:28
box I can't be box I'm
89:34
terrible see that's not percussion yeah
89:37
it's not really beat boxing either that's maybe
89:42
true I think we should have a junk physics shirt oh my God what would be
89:48
the logo though I think you know what the logo would be but then we couldn't
89:51
sell what
