okay do we have
0:47
audio twitch chat do we have audio do we have audio
0:53
what flickers what flickers
1:01
I work we have light are we good does it
1:05
work okay it's all good
1:09
so I don't know what's going on with
1:13
this
1:16
camera but I'm like super not impressed
1:21
right now because we were doing um did you if you saw that uh that unboxing we
1:26
did of the Kraken x40 where we were doing a dual cam setup we we were using
1:30
xsplit to record the uh both both camera
1:35
angles and we were trying to capture audio to the
1:40
fs or through the fs and it wasn't working it was popping and doing a lot
1:45
of crazy sounds and stuff yeah but it wasn't I don't think it was as bad as
1:49
what uh yeah well I think it's the problems that there was already plus the
1:54
fact of like putting it through xsplit which is like barely working and then
1:58
streaming it online to these people like the combination of all those things
2:01
probably just made it so much worse but basically that that puts me in a
2:06
position where I'm kind of sitting here going well how does how's this supposed to work because I can record audio just
2:10
fine to SD on this guy but something
2:14
about outputting to HDMI suddenly doesn't work guys this is the exact
2:19
setup that we were using for live streams in the past and we didn't change
2:24
anything and uh yeah so I mean we're
2:28
sorry but I don't know what else to tell you because tonight we sat down to prep
2:33
for the live stream an hour ago and we should have
2:37
been just ready to go and everything should have just been fine but we got
2:42
about I don't know what half a dozen blue screens on the editing computer
2:47
that ended up irony of ironies being caused by our a media live gamer HD
2:52
which usually is totally solid compared to the black magic cards which usually
2:57
crash and cause all kinds of random horrible problem problems um but I think
3:02
it might be because we were using the bottom PCIe forx slot on the z77 board
3:07
which is routed through the chipset rather than being routed directly to the
3:12
CPU so
3:16
um yeah that sucked yeah um one other
3:21
thing as I've seen a couple times posted in the twitch chat as you may have heard
3:26
the Forum is kind of alive it's down now
3:30
because of physical server relocation meaning DNS servers that are everywhere
3:35
have to repopulate and refigure out where my server is so that you guys can
3:39
go to The Forum good news is um
3:42
everything will be exactly how it was the minute before I brought the server
3:47
down so you're not going to lose your posts you're not going to lose your accounts you're not going to lose
3:51
whatever you had it's just going to be down until something somewhere decides
3:56
that everyone can now see the form and we're really thrilled with how much
4:00
traction there's been on the Forum already I mean you guys have been
4:03
amazing and I don't think even that many of you know about it
4:09
yet um yeah I mean do do any of do any
4:13
of you guys know yet uh there there's a
4:16
few people one guy's saying what is the IP screw waiting for the DNS I can't do
4:20
that um because the HT access file uh in
4:25
my Apache folder is pointing certain things in certain places based off of
4:29
the URL name so if you go to the uh IP address it's just like an FTP
4:36
site basically so that's not really going to help you very much um nexam my
4:41
buddy and I have been spending incredible amounts of time huge thanks
4:44
to him he's done tons of things that I have no idea what he's doing it's all
4:48
voodoo magic he's a huge part of the reason pretty
4:52
much the reason why the Forum was up at all so thanks NEX um but we've been
4:57
slaving away making VB five V bulletin 5
5:01
work at all it's incredible we are the only site that I know of that's actually
5:06
a production website not like not like an example website hosted by vbulletin
5:10
that's actually running this software um and there's a lot of things that are
5:13
broken like editing posts as a lot of you have probably already noticed just
5:17
doesn't work like you can edit the post but when it goes to the edit screen your
5:21
post isn't there so it's it's kind of weird like
5:25
there's a lot of stuff that's broken like that that we can't fix because that's based on V buol
5:30
um there's a lot of stuff that's going around that we can fix that is kind of messed up the V buletin has like hold on
5:34
hold on hold on hold on got it okay go ahead uh was weird for a sec um like
5:41
different sizes for attachments and stuff the defaults for that are very
5:44
weird and not what they actually say when it tells you like oh it has to be
5:48
these Dimensions at this size it's not actually those dimensions of that size
5:51
so we are looking into problem problems that
5:55
we can fix um and hopefully V buletin
5:59
beta 24 is as nexum would say the Holy
6:03
Grail of beta releases and hopefully it fixes
6:07
everything but other than that uh the form's working pretty okay the main
6:10
problem we actually had was speed which is the reason why we did the relocation
6:14
we pulled it from here where it was running on a line that was 5 megabits
6:19
per second up um megabit megabit that's
6:23
is what I said I think he said megabytes per second I meant to say megabites per
6:26
second um to align at ncx head office
6:29
which I was hoping was going to be 40 megabits per second up but is actually
6:33
now that we got there 25 but that's still incredibly faster from what we
6:38
have right now and we'll hopefully get above the bottleneck that we're
6:43
currently sitting on to be clear guys this isn't an NC Forum this is a lonus
6:47
tech tips dedicated Forum they're just uh sponsoring us the bandwidth increase
6:52
that we need for now we're hoping to move either to an off-site host
6:57
somewhere or get some kind of like
7:00
baller internet connection here uh which
7:04
may may actually be an option I mean we can pick ourselves up a load balancing
7:07
router for about 150 bucks and then Shaw
7:12
has a new service they're rolling out here that's going to be 15 megabit up we
7:16
can pull two lines in so we might be able to do 25 to 30 megabit per second
7:21
up from here which would be that would be really cool sort of redonkulous I
7:25
would like to have the server on site we're Hardware guys so it's cool to be
7:28
able to like add actually manage the server here um but you had to do some
7:33
kaj jiggering to be able to manage it offsite with actually you should tell
7:37
them about the config you have going right now it's kind of ridiculous there so
7:41
there's two servers right now there's two servers right now one of them's
7:44
Windows one of them's Linux we're trying to move everything over to the Linux box
7:49
but then um we couldn't like properly SSH into the Linux box so oh NEX and I
7:55
spent ridiculous amounts of time today just trying to make it so that we can
7:58
actually connect to the boxes on nx's network because they have us behind like
8:04
layers of networking so it's kind of odd
8:07
trying to control things when I have no control over the routers or the switches
8:11
so I'm just like calling up the networking guy every once in a while
8:14
being like hey I need this kind of
8:17
changed so that was a very interesting situation hey it's me again hey can you
8:23
can you please do this please I need
8:26
access please and everything ended up being kind of rigged but is working and
8:32
yeah while we're at CES um I've got I've got one super
8:37
moderator set up and I've got a few moderators set up um everyone's kind of
8:41
on a trial basis right now um so watch
8:45
those moderators let me know what you think of them make sure they're all doing fair play um I think they're all
8:51
really they seem like really good guys I like the moderators so far but we need
8:54
to make sure that they're all actually really good guys um so pay attention to
8:57
them but the only admin that's going to be running online so the only guy that's going to be like controlling the back
9:02
end of the site while we're at CES is going to be nexio so good luck to
9:08
you thanks man we appreciate
9:12
it oh what if it goes down uh if it like
9:17
actually if the computer Powers down and doesn't like turn back on so like if it
9:22
doesn't restart or anything like that and we're at CES we're kind of screwed
9:27
um because it's sitting in a room that so basically don't dos us is what we're
9:32
trying to say greatly appreciated don't don't like don't go to the NC head
9:37
office and cut the power lines I mean you shouldn't do that
9:41
anyway these are things I shouldn't have to say so far everybody on the Forum and
9:46
everybody on Twitter and everything has been super helpful that's really nice uh
9:50
reporting problems is great reporting stuff like it's slow like that's good
9:54
that you told me but we know we know it's slow part of it is the 5 megabit
10:00
connection we've been on part of it is the fact that vbulletin 5 is just kind
10:03
of a dog yeah uh when we browse on it locally there's still that delay like
10:09
when you click on a thread the page populates and then there's like one two
10:14
three steam boats before you can actually click on
10:17
something we we can't stress enough the back end for the Forum VB both and 5 is
10:22
still in a pretty brutal stage of beta
10:26
um so there's a lot of stuff that we can't control one of the members of the
10:31
V bulletin Community was calling it was calling it some kind of a travesty that
10:35
they're even calling this a beta yeah and he's like a pretty esteemed member
10:38
of V bolon Community Max possible reputation points 30,000 posts like
10:44
really big guy and he's raging about it he's like this is an alpha this is not a
10:47
beta yeah and we're running it on production yeah so hang with us things
10:53
will be fixed some of it's out of our control and I'm going as fast as I can
10:57
with nexum to fix everything else that is within our control all right so why
11:01
don't we uh let's do some Twitter shall we or oh okay the angle's a little funny
11:05
we actually don't have the is this going to cause problems we don't have a mount
11:10
for the camera so it's sitting on a cardboard sheet on top of the actual
11:14
tripod yeah I don't have the tools handy
11:17
to remove the stupid mounting plate from the fs and we're trying to get this back
11:22
up as soon as we possibly could so uh
11:25
it's okay it's just not worth it you use a quarter I don't have a quarter on me
11:30
calm down all right so let's do some q& a what's a good mechanical keyboard
11:35
under 70 bucks well they're not under 70 bucks
11:40
you can find them sometimes $69.99 I
11:43
think I've seen a quickfire like the 10 keyless ones $69.99 okay there you go if
11:48
you can find it possibly somewhere ever yeah possibly somewhere ever I mean
11:52
asking for mechanical keyboard under 70 bucks is me being like hey where can I
11:55
get a good like uber gaming graphics card for under 150 bucks
12:00
it's like well sorry it just just doesn't work that way my jacket is
12:08
ugly Matt asks my CPU is an fx 4100 it
12:12
doesn't perform well in CPU heavy games will upgrading to an i5 3570k show me a
12:17
noticeable difference the answer is yes
12:21
um especially once you're overclocking at 3570k will destroy an fx 4100 FX 4100
12:28
is basically okay think think of it this way guys Phenom 1 didn't actually really
12:34
improve anything over previous um what I mean what branding
12:40
did they even use Athlon 64s I think was what they used before that Phenom 2
12:44
improved very little over Phenom 1 it was like an incremental like like like a
12:48
talk and then FX didn't really improve anything over
12:54
fenom 2 and then that's where you're at
12:57
so you're basically running an Athlon 64 whereas Intel has been marching along in
13:03
terms of CPU performance 3570k will just destroy a
13:08
4100 uh editing posts that comes in the
13:12
next beta V bulletin right supposedly but it was also in previous betas
13:18
so this is what I was talking about about brutal beta stage is like features
13:24
that used to be in it are not in it and features that weren't in it before are
13:28
in it like it's it's very much a beta
13:31
and then our version of it like what we've changed and stuff is still also a
13:35
beta so you're basically running the beta stage of a beta is what your forum
13:40
is so yay it's it's hobbling along we're
13:44
doing good but yeah yep uh thoughts on PC 360 I've heard it's a basier version
13:49
of the 350 I'm not a big 350 fan okay so
13:53
it's probably better than 350 I'd buy a 7h personally I I like them a lot more
13:57
than the 350s have you tried the 360 I never tried them uh Harrison's got some
14:02
oh okay yeah they're like actually I like them quite a bit okay for for a
14:06
headset I'm not usually weigh into headsets right I like headphones with a
14:10
mic but for a headset they're pretty awesome yeah they're really good I built
14:14
my first computer today how come you never told me the back of the
14:18
motherboard was Pokey um I didn't think of
14:27
it you know what guys when you're building your first
14:31
computer be careful of the metal on the outside of the power supply it can be
14:37
cold we're teasing you but it's all it's all good it's all good you did good good
14:41
work building your first computer feel free to post a picture of it on Facebook
14:45
post a picture and post the specs and when the forum's up go to the new build
14:49
section and post your build post your
14:52
build cuz that's awesome yeah have you ever built a Hackintosh um that project
14:58
is like kind of ready to go like I have the installer files on my USB drive that
15:02
I'm ready to install on the motherboard
15:06
that we brought back to the back to the lab today so hopefully soon but not
15:11
before we go to CES CES is going to be like
15:15
oh ridiculous all of our time before Zs
15:19
was kind of devoted to like finishing off projects and me starting and
15:22
hopefully finishing but that didn't happen the Forum um might still happen
15:27
it's not going to be finished well it's never
15:32
finished touche sir um yeah but it's
15:37
it's I hope the Forum Comes live soon I'm getting kind of worried um what was
15:43
I where was I going with this CES is bad and we won't finish anything before that
15:46
really no and then even when we get get back from CES for the first day or two
15:50
we're probably going to be just like managing stuff that we didn't get to
15:53
release while we're at Cs and we'll probably be sleeping cuz we'll probably
15:57
be sick I don't s sleep every year I get
16:01
like just super sick right CU there's like a million people there cuz you don't sleep there's a million people
16:05
there from all corners of the world where they've got all kinds of weird
16:09
diseases that I've never been exposed to
16:12
and uh I was going to say I've made it through Pax every year but Pax is a
16:15
weekend not an entire week so this will
16:18
be this will be a new challenge oh yeah CES is is a hall see Slick's never been
16:22
to CES this will be my fourth or fifth year now and it's it is it is people
16:28
think it looks fun but it's not fun lonus will eips make a huge difference
16:32
from a TN panel the answer is yes Forum
16:35
must be up because it's down it won't load for me too much traffic no no it's
16:40
definitely down it's down like not because of too much traffic or it being
16:45
broken we physically moved the server like that's what we were doing this
16:49
morning when he ran out of gas
16:52
um it just hasn't been a good day in
16:55
general actually no not really like the tech tips episodes the ncx tech tips
17:00
episodes we filmed at at NCI HQ today
17:03
one of them was like a build guide in an matx machine that's actually within
17:09
silverstone's classification of small form factor so this
17:14
matx tower system is actually not much
17:18
taller than an matx board it's about this yeah go get it go get it we'll show
17:23
it to them I I'll explain it in the meantime so it's not much taller than an
17:26
matx board we put dual GTX 680s in it we
17:31
put a th000 watt power supply we put um
17:35
I think we changed it is it do you have it already oh here we go all right so
17:39
it's in the Sugo carrying case and holy
17:43
crap this is one of the most difficult machines I've ever built in spite of the
17:49
fact that I did a full build guide on it
17:52
there we go in spite of the fact that I did a full build guide on it at the end
17:55
of the video I had no choice but to say say look guys I don't recommend this for
18:01
novice Builders so check this out it's not actually much bigger than a shuttle
18:05
it's about the same length as a shuttle and it's about this much taller than a
18:08
shuttle it's got a 120 mm intake in the front this is in the
18:12
sg9 okay it's got okay one of the video
18:16
cards is out now but it had dual 680s in it see like I said the matx board goes
18:22
from here to here so it's that that gives you some idea of the scale here
18:26
this is a 120 mil fan AO 140 and I'm
18:30
going to see if I can get this uh this top panel off so uh entertain them with
18:35
talk about uh what we're doing at CES what are we going to do there I'm going
18:39
to have lots of meetings we we've been so busy with other stuff stuff we
18:44
haven't even discussed what we're going to be doing at CES that much so I almost
18:48
don't even know um I know we're going to be
18:53
spending not as much time as I expected on the show floor because we have a lot
18:57
of different sweet to go to within the hotels which will be like uh a different
19:02
vendor uh will have like a suite where they'll show off specific Parts because
19:07
the show floor isn't big enough and not personal enough well that and the show
19:10
floor is extremely expensive and I don't think a lot of guys see the point yeah
19:15
if they can just hold a suite and then get in contact with the exact people they want to anyways it's not really
19:19
necessarily worth it for them um so yeah
19:22
the plan is we've got a pretty epic
19:26
internet connection hopefully so we'll be hopefully shoting out videos actively
19:31
while we're there yeah we've noticed one big problem with reviewers that go down
19:35
to the CES is that they don't release their stuff until like way after and
19:39
then it's usually pretty lackluster so our plan is to be uploading it as fast
19:45
as we can every single night okay check this out sorry stage two of showing you
19:49
guys this machine so this case holds two 3 and 1 half inch hard drives here and
19:53
here we have two ssds in raid zero down there that's two m4s right there you put
19:58
another two ssds here if you want slim line optical drive in the top okay see
20:04
that Tower cooler in there this thing is
20:07
full of stuff plugging in h see I didn't
20:12
look closely at the uh at the instruction Silverstone includes for
20:15
this case RTM guys RTM uh because and
20:20
okay they they also made a slight mistake because they show when you install the motherboard they show the
20:24
CPU heat sink installed on it that's wrong because sounds like a turbo to
20:28
install the motherboard install the four pin and then put the heat sink on but I
20:33
was thinking maybe I could put it on before it settled in or something like that so anyway I had a really hard time
20:37
plugging the four pin in I ended up having to take the heat sink off again
20:41
to plug it in and then and then I realized oh I forgot to plug in the CPU
20:45
fan header not cool not cool at all but uh
20:51
here I want to give you guys a closer look at this I think it's on autofocus
20:54
so you should be able to see so there's a Silverstone uh dual Tower he heat pipe
20:58
cooler there's some high-profile memory in there this is a really cool cooler
21:02
because it has one thick side and one Thin side so that you have enough room
21:07
for all your memory slots good idea hey there's the power supply right at the
21:11
front there with a pass through to uh
21:15
cord at the back see right there that's where that plugs in and then while you
21:20
keep talking about CEs plans I'm going to take off the bottom part of the panel
21:23
so they can see where the graphics cards go again we haven't really talked about CS PL much so I don't know okay if you
21:29
if you commit things to them now then there's nothing I can do about it and
21:32
we'll have to do your ideas so so we're going to be eating out very nicely the
21:36
entire time we're there this is coming out of my pocket all sponsored by the
21:42
company um no no no okay we'll probably
21:45
be eating McDonald's the entire time um you'll be lucky if you get McDonald's
21:51
now um yeah Samsung has an interesting
21:55
TV they releasing they released this press release go to the go to uh go to
22:00
the site uh number number number
22:14
four
22:27
203 e
23:01
cut out the audio is there audio still is there audio
23:16
now okay so we can't show them yeah we
23:19
can it's fixed now is it yeah don't worry I fixed
23:24
it all good all good no audio when you
23:27
switch it's going no there's audio now audio
23:31
fixed everyone's so back and forth okay here tell them tell them about it okay
23:37
so as you can see there Samsung released this picture and then some blurb about
23:42
how like true Innovation comes when you
23:46
like change the shape of things and all we got something along those lines
23:50
basically this huge thing about how they're changing the shape of the TV and
23:54
then they released this picture which makes me think like what why is it in
23:59
portrait mode and that's not really a different
24:02
shape either it's just a rotated shape no you turned it like this like they
24:07
can't see you right now but oh right okay well they turned it vertical into
24:10
Port mod press one okay now they can see us again so I don't understand how this
24:15
is different from taking an existing TV and just I like they they have a driver
24:20
control panel for that I think it's called you know the NVIDIA control panel
24:24
or ATI control panel and you just turn
24:27
your monitor I don't know um I'm kind of hoping it's more than just a portrait
24:32
mode TV because I don't see a portrait mode TV being very applicable maybe the
24:37
point they're trying to make is the extreme realism of the image and like
24:42
how thin it is or something it's an awful lot of hype to
24:46
generate over but then the second you try and watch a movie is it going to be
24:49
like half your screen is gone no there's no way it's a portrait mode TV but look
24:54
at the shape it's in I know but you could just take that shape and go like
24:57
this so what are you just going constantly swiv your TV no I mean it
25:00
might just be thinner I don't know but then this is
25:04
like I said this is a lot of hype to generate over thinner it's a shape and
25:08
brighter and more vibrant and more 3D which is what we probably what it is
25:14
like it since I started going to CES it's been nothing but 3D
25:19
TVs and here we are what three four
25:22
years later and it's still 3D TVs and
25:27
I'm just kind of like okay okay so last year the the big thing was um was 3D TVs
25:32
but not using them for 3D it was like
25:35
having um cisp alternating images so
25:39
that two people could watch TV at something else at the same time or not
25:42
split screen split screen game like uh Playstation TV yes something like that
25:47
has has okay here would love to hear this guys has anyone on Twitter or or in
25:52
the twitch chat actually encountered someone who is actually using that
25:57
solution are we local recording as well I don't
26:02
know yeah local recording yeah oh press
26:09
zero yay okay um what are my old
26:15
roommates where two people are playing the game at the same time seeing
26:18
different oh the that guy yeah oh okay
26:22
yeah so I don't know if it really counts so it was like Black Ops zombies that's
26:26
exactly what it was Black Ops Black Ops Fanboy but only the
26:32
zombie mod I only knew that he did it once I don't know if he did it other
26:36
than that and it was with like one of his buddies who also used to be a
26:40
roommate of ours quite a while ago um
26:44
yeah I'm ready to show them the rest of this system I don't have anything so
26:47
check this out guys so I had two GeForce
26:50
graphics cards in here two gtx680 so they were going all the way to here
26:54
there's the power supply there's the CPU heat sink you can put up to 32 gigs of
26:59
RAM in here just a monster monster machine check out that fan in the top
27:04
just like almost hilariously stupidly
27:08
full of stuff so anyway what I'm trying to say is not that it's not a really
27:12
cool case and not that it isn't a really cool machine but that it was really hard
27:17
to build in and because when you film a how to build a PC episode there's no
27:23
such thing as like running some benchmarks and doing some prep for the
27:29
episode you like you you can prep you can sort of you can read it up on it you
27:33
can sort of like you can bust around with things and see how it all works but
27:38
you have to actually build it you have to actually do every step and some of
27:41
them were just really hard yeah to do I was off in the corner with my crazy
27:46
setup of multiple servers messing around with nexam hearing like oh oh we got to
27:51
redo that I got to take motherboard out again oh I could hear the amount
27:58
frustrated that was on the other side of the room you know what it wasn't as bad as the F3 mini one though that one that
28:03
was just a weird case it's very cool very it's interesting because it's a
28:07
column yeah it's column case and again
28:11
like an impressive amount of Hardware in
28:14
a small space but but very
28:19
dense at least the power supply was a lot easier on this one than it was on
28:23
the F3 because of the short cables because of the short cable kit that you
28:27
can get with Strider series power supplies so uh here let's do some
28:31
Twitter okay you know what I'll just do
28:36
this okay so put that there get Twitter get that where's the twinkie box twinkie
28:41
box is slicks in the way right there all
28:45
right lus what tips do you have for upand cominging tech people read Lots
28:49
Reading Lots is the most important thing for upand cominging tech people go on
28:53
our Forum when it's up yeah hey hey that too going to be lots of up andc coming
28:58
typ people here uh this is for slick where can I get ducky keyboards uh
29:03
tiger Imports Google tiger Imports is a
29:06
CM Storm trigger with Blue switches worth my money what's a storm trigger CM Storm
29:13
trigger didn't you unbox one I was pretty sure you no that was a quickfire
29:16
what's the difference between a trigger and a quick pretty sure you unboxed a
29:21
trigger I guess basically they're good they're quite good keyboards okay yeah I
29:25
didn't know yay tuning in at 5:30 we're sorry we're late guys they have crazy
29:31
problems watch the uh archive if you're tuning in here move closer to the
29:35
camera look at his eyes I'm pretty tired I had no idea why
29:41
you're making me go close to the
29:45
camera uh Buy Canon last time I hate
29:48
Sony you set it back to stock say trust me that won't fix the
29:52
problem and we are using a Canon now which has this Canon camera has its own
29:56
set of issues as well oh yeah okay we're
30:00
back to like 24 minutes ago so uh I saw
30:03
a whole bunch of people posting that they had never seen anyone do the split
30:07
screen monitor thing yeah I jumped over there while you're doing the system and
30:11
like just everyone was like nope no definitely not nope definitely not
30:18
okay uh here's a good question from
30:21
Marcus um what do you expect from AMD on
30:26
at CES expect I'm going to go look for some of
30:29
my topics that I had uh that I had up so I'll get you what do you expect from AMD
30:33
at CES I don't expect much I hope for a
30:38
lot um honestly to be 100% honest they
30:42
haven't been moving that quickly lately over the last few years um but they need
30:46
to so hopefully if they come up with some crazy awesome stuff at CES that
30:50
would be great when was the last time you had an AMD rig uh alha
30:55
64 and then I built one for my parents set was Aon 64x to i l both those
31:00
processors they're amazing great great great processors and then yeah ever
31:06
since then what about on the graphics card side they've been starting to talk
31:09
about 8,000 series particularly they they do well on the graphics card side
31:13
though atti is very strong AMD ATI is very strong that you you can usually get
31:17
more frames for your dollar from what I've seen going with
31:21
AMD cards um whether that makes you buy
31:24
them or not that's totally up to you um
31:28
but yeah usually you can you can pump them really hard you can usually overc
31:31
them like crazy um yeah I don't know
31:36
but I'm worried about the processor side very worried about the processor side
31:40
but then again they could come up with something crazy so hopefully they do that'll be great at CES I mean I'd love
31:45
to see how the whole I mean okay we we talked a little bit about the NVIDIA
31:49
Intel potential merger the rumor just a
31:53
rumor guys right now but we talked a little bit about what that could mean
31:56
for the future Maybe particularly on mobile when you look at Intel's
32:01
expertise on manufacturing NVIDIA's expertise on GPU and their experience
32:05
with ARM and just like what kind of crazy processors we could see I would
32:09
love to see I mean they've talked about how they're going to focus more on it
32:13
and Oh shoot what was his
32:17
name I can't remember one of their CEOs got got outed uh not that long ago
32:22
because he said he didn't care about mobile and it seems like something they do want to do but I'd love to see what
32:28
AMD and ATI could deliver because the
32:31
only reason that Tegra has any huge advantage over anything is that GeForce
32:37
ecosystem and I'm not even talking just the graphics performance of it because
32:42
it's not that competitive compared to something like iPad
32:49
like not today or even or or even some of the
32:55
other Solutions um but the GeForce
32:58
ecosystem is the developer relationships
33:02
it is the the way that they're used to writing games that are powered by
33:06
GeForce compatibility developer relationships stuff always working the
33:10
fact that a Tigra 3 runs pretty much the
33:14
same damn way as a GTX 680 on some level
33:18
just the way that the software and the hardware are interfacing and the way that the game interacts with it so that
33:23
is why Tegra is so important right now
33:26
whereas AMD maybe not quite to the same
33:30
extent as NVIDIA in terms of developer relationships but so much stronger than
33:36
Qualcomm or Intel or I mean name anyone
33:41
else it's it's a two horse race ATI Invidia radon GeForce so I i' I'd love
33:47
for them to just kind of show up to that fight and start doing something
33:53
somewhere somewhere something um um
33:56
something interesting talking about graphics cards Far Cry 3 really
33:59
surprised me with how hard it was to run I don't think lius has played it yet but
34:03
you were a big fan of Far Cry 2 weren't you I no Far Cry 2 was terrible I
34:07
thought you liked it Far Cry 2 was a piece of crap I thought you said you played it a whole bunch of times Far Cry
34:12
1 oh loved Far Cry 1 Far Cry 1 was an
34:15
outstanding game did you ever play it you're a little young for that Far Cry 1
34:20
I play Far Cry 1 what were you like nine when it came out I don't think so I'm
34:24
pretty sure cuz I maybe like 11
34:28
I don't know yeah you were like a kid when Far Cry came out that's weird I
34:31
feel I know weird yeah I feel old anyway anyways yeah Far Cry 1 was
34:36
good no Far Cry 2 was crap the respawning guys oh that stuff was crap I
34:42
okay you know what though I I forgot about this this is a
34:46
good story Far Cry 2 I actually played it a fair bit because I hadn't really
34:50
played like I'd never played uh Grand Theft Auto or like any other sort of
34:54
open world sandboxy right okay yeah so I'd never really done the hold that
34:58
whole thing and the graphics were great and you know the Gunplay is good and all
35:02
of that um I couldn't finish
35:06
it I got a save game like all the way
35:10
deep into the game and did you play Far Cry 2 yeah but really really quickly in
35:16
once okay one of the things is that you're sick do you remember that yeah
35:21
okay you get sick so you have to get like malaria medications like sometimes
35:26
and uh what happened is it gives you like a notification that you need to get
35:30
malaria meds like soon and so one of my
35:33
save games and I I I think it was Auto is it Autos save for that game or
35:37
something like that oh no I going physically too far away to get anywhere
35:44
with meds I tried probably a dozen times in every direction in every possible way
35:48
so I would just die and I was like well I'm not starting
35:53
over cuz the whole game is just a grind my best story with that is more ruined
35:58
you start the game and they give you this package and you're supposed to go
36:01
give it to this guy but it's just like oh yeah give this package to this guy
36:05
and you can sell it so at the beginning of the game you're like oh I want money
36:08
you sell everything in your inventory you're done you can't start the main
36:13
quest but it doesn't exactly tell you what the main quest is because it's a
36:17
like uber definition of sandbox game right like amazing game but you could
36:21
just go screw off like I played this game for months and had no idea what the
36:26
main quest was had never started it had multiple characters always sold the book
36:31
or package thing eventually eventually my dad and I were
36:35
like this game is amazing but we know we're missing a lot let's go get the players guide so we can find all the
36:39
stuff that we're missing B the players guide I was like
36:42
whoa there's a main quest and it's interesting let's go actually start
36:47
playing the game that is so much worse than mine that it's not even
36:51
funny I love morwin Vlog so many hours in that game but without even actually
36:56
playing the game without playing the main quest but that's how good that game
36:59
was like it didn't matter I never got into it I think it doesn't help though
37:03
that I'd already logged like a bajillion hours on Oblivion and then I tried to go
37:08
back and play morrowwind you kind of have to go through it larly cuz I'd never played morrowwind before the
37:12
journal system in mowind is very difficult to just pick up you got to be
37:16
used to it and like once you get I think it's the tribunal expansion it makes it
37:20
so you can actually navigate to individual quests in your Journal but
37:24
before then it's just your guy writing logs about things it's happening and
37:28
it's just like a journal so if something happened couple days ago and you've done
37:33
a whole bunch of stuff to figure out where you're at at that Quest you have
37:36
to like flip through pages and like figure it out like it's not very Noob
37:40
friendly and I I I like I like I fired
37:43
it up once and I got my character and I was going to be like a cat dude and I
37:47
went like down a path and it was just
37:51
like I was like well come on what
37:55
there's no like there's no like Noob friendly like questing Zone at the
37:59
beginning a little bit but not that much the second you step like a little bit
38:03
past the line you're done and like it's got D andd rolling systems for attacks
38:08
so if you run up to something you can be like I'm not hitting you cuz you'll just
38:13
keep on rolling and if you're not good enough at that skill so like say dagger
38:17
I can just stab and stab and stab and stab and stab and never hit him like ha
38:21
ha my defense numbers are higher than your dagger rolling numbers I then win
38:26
because of the D andd system right so it's it's not very Noob friendly in that
38:29
aspect right okay well I had a topic for
38:35
discussion um why does Nero bother to still update
38:43
their disc burning software we talked about this a bit
38:47
ago uh the only thing I was able to come up with was compatibility with different
38:52
systems okay let me put it this way it still works on everything I have an
38:57
ancient version of Nero that I bought way back like early XP days back when
39:03
you bought burning software because now there's free okay so okay so aside from
39:08
the fact that it doesn't need any new functionality there's free options that
39:13
are just as good now is that is that maybe the thing then they roll out a new
39:17
version make you buy the new version make you buy the new version how they
39:20
don't make you buy it that same version runs on Windows 8 just fine no no I know
39:26
but like like no cares you have version four to get version five I'm just using
39:30
random want version five I'm just saying if you had version four to get version
39:34
five do you have to buy it or does it update I think you have to buy it yeah yeah okay so it's for people that aren't
39:38
super tech have and they're like oh I need the newest best one what could they
39:41
possibly think they need the newest best one for them I don't know because
39:45
everyone says keep your stuff updated okay why don't they just do this then
39:48
why don't they just lay off their entire development team and just just change
39:51
numbers just change the numbers and CH reskin it hire some designers to reskin
39:55
it yeah Hire One designer and fire your
39:58
entire development team like what new functionality is there in disc burning
40:02
over the last six years uh light scribe
40:06
light scribe M disk M disk doesn't require so special software is that all
40:10
done through the LG drive all done through the special laser that engraves
40:14
into the special medium nothing on the software side all right so that's just
40:17
the drive yeah so light scribe and light
40:20
scribe Blu-ray Blu-ray is it the same on the
40:24
software end okay it's possible we need a Blu-ray software Blu-ray burning who
40:28
would burn a Blu-ray I don't know I'm just saying why there might be
40:35
something okay for all of you out there who have burned a Blu-ray I'm going to
40:39
open your eyes to a fantastic world of
40:43
of amazingness that you are just going to be blown away by it is
40:49
called the archiving your stuff on a hard drive system so Blu-ray discs how
40:55
much do they cost now I don't I've never bought one last time I looked it was
40:59
around eight bucks but I'm sure it's cheaper now let's say they're let's say
41:03
they're $3 just for the sake of argument
41:07
let's say they're $3 how many gigs of data do they store on them it's 25 right
41:11
someone's going to correct us yeah but then you can get uh there's dual layer
41:15
yeah but those cost a lot I'm sure they do yeah those are actually like baller
41:19
expensive yeah so okay so 25 gigs on a
41:23
Blu-Ray so here this is this is a here we're going to do a quick price
41:27
comparison here so
41:30
nci.com we're going to look at how much
41:33
a 2 terb external drive costs
41:38
so around a 100 bucks okay so that is
41:43
2,000 divid 25 25 equals 80 Blu-ray
41:51
discs so Blu-ray it already loses time whoa hold
41:57
on okay these are okay hold on Blu-ray
42:00
disc there we go so single Blu-ray disc
42:04
oh that's a 50 gig for seven bucks okay okay so that's a and there's a
42:07
rewritable for 10 by the way hard drives are all
42:12
rewritable probably more than your rewritable disc okay I can't even see
42:16
like a there's a two pack for 30
42:20
bucks uh how much do these things cost
42:24
these can't be right
42:27
seriously okay this is worse than I
42:31
thought okay so
42:36
four okay so okay so you can get them for as little as around a buck but
42:42
that's like rose will so anything that's like a real a real brand um is probably
42:49
more like more like double that so about about two bucks each so $160 yeah so 160
42:54
bucks is what you're paying for your Blu-ray discs
42:58
oh man guys just don't do it I mean something like this is so perfect these
43:02
backup pluses are great because they come on a little like dock
43:08
thing here's a tech tip for you guys back everything up to hard drives so
43:13
they come on a little dock thing and then look at this it's basically like
43:17
the size of like a VHS cassette so you just have a shelf you like put these on
43:22
it you put a label on the handy dandy
43:25
label friendly spot with some masking tape boom you've archived your media on
43:29
something that is less likely to deade than uh than a plastic disc on something
43:35
that is much more much much more likely
43:38
to still be around in the future in terms of finding something that'll read
43:41
it easily although CD has been pretty resilient but then how useful is a CD at
43:45
this point you can repurpose it for other things you could take the whole thing apart repurpose it for an internal
43:49
drive throw it in a server you can easily swap them in and out just by
43:54
popping them onto a base station just like like that so and you can plug as
43:58
many or as few into your computer as you want you you can sync from one to
44:02
another one so you can back up from one to another they're they're faster to
44:06
write I mean do do I even need to do this the only disc solution that I would
44:11
ever see being better than that is like super super super important documents
44:15
that you write to an M disk yeah M disk I'm kind of sold on M disk is kind of
44:19
amazing but then the capacities aren't that high cuz it's only DVD yeah so use
44:24
like backup hard drives for just like pictures everything and then yeah like
44:28
hard drives for like movies and yeah everything else so M disk is like
44:33
Precious family photos or like your will baby pictures wedding pictures other
44:37
very important things super important documents like you said will stuff like
44:41
that um but other than that just go back
44:46
up hard drives don't burn to Blu-rays and like people think of it in terms of
44:50
the transactional price I think sometimes cuz I've had people make the
44:53
DVD archiving argument and they're like oh well DVD is only a couple cents and
44:56
I'm like okay it only holds four gigs so
44:59
you've got like and how much is your time
45:04
worth I don't want to sit there
45:07
burning like like you said 80 Blu-rays
45:11
and then it's not even it's not even easy to like figure out what you've now
45:16
written to that disc and which disc has cuz Okay think about it this way if
45:20
you're like wedding video part one two
45:23
three did did you burn them in chronological order did you burn them in
45:28
alphabetical order did you burn like the pictures of the hot bridesmaids on the
45:33
one over there so that your wife wouldn't see it like I don't
45:36
know is she watching this you
45:40
think it's probably okay I have no idea she used to watch them now I think
45:45
she got bored of them I mean it's Tech stuff what what does she care timately
45:50
right um what are topic oh yeah uh like
45:54
okay here's another one why do people why do you bother why do you bother
45:57
updating a phone like notepad app why do you bother writing a special notepad app
46:02
let's talk about Slick's phone because he loves his phone so Huggy much tell me
46:06
about S note I hate S note I have a perfect note app though tell tell me all
46:11
about S note I want to hear about S Note why did Samsung write a Notepad
46:15
application why did Samsung write any of the applications on that phone be
46:21
nice okay you tried to use S Note for what a couple weeks yeah I was okay so
46:26
oh did you know that the memo pad that comes on the iPhone works really
46:30
well shut up um not a lot of functionality just text input but well
46:35
that's what I wanted okay to be honest okay why did you start using S Note here
46:38
we go started using S Note for the live streams if you guys see me or lus when
46:42
we're on the streams we're ever looking at our phones it's because we have
46:46
certain people watching the audience we're not interested in talking to you
46:49
people so just no no there's certain people that are in the audience that
46:52
have our phone numbers that will text us if things are going wrong like audio
46:55
really yeah okay I do maybe your friends don't care as much but I don't have any
47:01
friends that's the issue that's unfortunate anyways text me if there's
47:05
audio problems uh that's why I jump up sometimes I'll hear my phone buzz and
47:09
then just like Dart over and see if one of my buddies is texting me saying there's an audio problem or something um
47:15
and because we keep our notes there I'm looking at pictures of the baby that got
47:18
sent to me throughout the day he's eating green beans it's pretty cute
47:22
sorry carry on um we keep our notes there for live stream so we try and
47:26
think of topics so I was trying to use S Note man that was frustrating ah if I
47:32
did like the slightest thing wrong so it would like go to a different tab with an
47:35
S note or anything like if I clicked on anything that wasn't proper it would
47:39
move away from the stuff that I was currently typing just delete
47:43
everything oh my God so like we'd be on a really long car ride somewhere and I'd
47:47
be like documenting all this stuff we're thinking of and like Googling up topics
47:51
that we can hopefully talk about so live stream isn't boring as all hell and then
47:54
I've got a whole bunch of stuff and I walk out of the car and like just sleep
47:58
my phone and put it in my pocket go open up later it's just like who nope all
48:03
your lines are removed the app is still open but all your lines are removed I'm
48:07
just like ah why so I ended up
48:10
downloading some random app I don't even
48:13
know what it's called it's called like simple note or something and it's Lally just a white screen and like a list of
48:17
the documents that you have and you just like click on them and then it brings up
48:22
just a white screen again and then you can just like type wherever you want
48:26
it's like that's exactly what I wanted all I wanted was a mirror of the notepad
48:31
app for PC that's that's all I wanted
48:34
but they had to add all this additional functionality which barely works and
48:38
then the whole app barely works because everything else barely works H we have
48:42
to do our Windows 8 giveaway so you had a question that you
48:48

52:50
brand new copy of Windows 8 thanks guys for participating and I
52:55
hope you found it to be a little bit more organized this week compared to
52:59
last oh last week was a disaster did you watch it I ended up watching yeah it was
53:03
terrible I just I don't blame you though but like it was bad I well okay I that's
53:09
why I tried to pick something more structured you knew what a long day I'd had that day already plus I think you

have a better understanding now of how much I'm able to sleep at
53:19
night between my cat and my baby it is a
53:22
miracle that I get any rest at all it's
53:26
help for him but yeah yeah yeah it's
53:30
help the for him indeed okay here we go sound card and
53:35
headset for 7.1 gaming first of all get
53:38
a proper headphone or headset with two speakers in it agreed yep 100% 100%
53:45
agreed find some sound card that does some cheeseball surround effect if you
53:48
really want that it will be better it will honestly
53:52
sound better I have owned both and actual 7 .1 doesn't sound as good as
53:58
really good high quality headphones with
54:01
s surround soft software trickery is where it's at guys remember guys two
54:06
ears two speakers is all you need and I
54:09
know that question was googleable but pretty much any question that we're
54:12
going to be able to come up with is going to be googleable and the people
54:16
that answered were really quick yeah they were fast enough that they probably
54:19
knew they probably just knew it um and you'll always be at an advantage if you
54:23
actually know the answer which is which is great kind of the point guys actually
54:26
oh have you have you seen that virtual haircut thing no no okay uh mandatory
54:34
mandatory assignment here guys everyone
54:37
needs to after the live stream of course you
54:41
need to stay and watch us first um search for Virtual Barber Shop this is I
54:48
recognize this maybe I have this is all the evidence you need there it is use
54:53
headphones close your eyes and you basically oh yeah I have heard of this
54:57
yes definitely it sounds like you're getting a haircut if you needed evidence
55:02
that you only have two ears and you only need two
55:05
speakers that is it so there you go if
55:09
you're in a home theater setting 7.1 is
55:12
awesome when when the speakers are directly covering your entire ear it's
55:18
it's so cool though have okay did have you tried it oh yeah definitely I
55:22

55:28
thing ever you should definitely go watch it listen to it what do we got MS
55:32
DOS also well apparently it works in MS DOS as well cool yeah it works in like
55:37

55:42
well got a bunch of answers
55:45
here uh
55:50
okay we have one guy who answered Star Wars well yes that would be a way to
55:55
watch Star Wars Windows carefully yeah
56:03

56:11
Safari on their Windows machines no it
56:14
yeah I Do download on iTunes and play through
56:19
quick Time Justin you're fired I like it though buy a CD
56:26
it wasn't the point guys she's Windows Media Player these guys are like trying
56:31
to legit answer like the question and it's like no no it's it's it's a trick
56:35
it's like a trick question I didn't want to say it was a command line input
56:39
because yeah cuz that's like yeah that's too obvious yeah because you could just
56:43
say like I wanted the Google search to be at least not 100% straightforward by
56:48
getting a job and buying it yes the extreme Computing you are the
56:53
winner of tonight's live stream you don't get a copy of Windows but you get
56:57
our respect you get all the internet cookies all the internet cookies OMG
57:02
slick is so hot and I think Julie isn't
57:06
the only girl who actually thinks
57:09
so no don't continue onwards keep going I will
57:16
hurt you just keep going just keep going
57:19
keep
57:25
going okay okay okay we're moving on we're moving on
57:30
uh oh big NVIDIA announcement at CES
57:33
okay I'm kind of curious about this Deacon usually tweets pretty good
57:37
stuff live from Las Vegas how to tune in
57:41
to NVIDIA's news oh we're missing this we're not going to be there in time so
57:45
whatever's yeah we're we're going down on um oh wait what
57:49
Sunday no it's during the day Sunday we
57:53
don't arrive till Sunday night oh so so
57:56
yeah we're we're missing we're missing it there's like a live show it's like a
58:00
big event I'll watch it then I have no
58:04
idea what they're uh what they're talking about but it should be should be
58:07
pretty cool maybe it's the their things can no it's probably a lot bigger than
58:11
that yeah the GeForce experience is cool but I don't think this is going to be
58:14
it's probably a lot bigger than that yeah they're making like a really big deal out of this uh what case 300 r or
58:19
692 Advanced did I say 600 R cuz I meant to
58:23
say 300 R yeah I saw that uh
58:27
um I don't know I'd go 300 R I probably
58:30
would just the more the more modern feature
58:34
set just is a good thing um I've built
58:37
in the 300 R more yeah which gives it kind of an unfair Advantage because I I
58:42
kind of know it I only did a 692 Advance
58:45
build a long time ago but it's a good case I haven't built in one I've just
58:48
seen it really no it's really good like it's easy to build in everything's
58:52
really intuitive Cooler Master does such a good job of that no I know I know uh
58:56
just I've built in the 300 R lot I haven't built in the other one so that's why I didn't actually ever give a
59:01
suggestion but I kind of would just lean towards that one cuz that's only one I
59:04
have personal experience with slick looks
59:08
familiar hey you could easily be like a a mesh
59:13
between these two guys and this
59:17
one I need a haircut well
59:21
yes I might need a touchup before we go as well
59:26
I'm like f i was you you can ask my
59:29
roommate I'm like I was planning to get a haircut literally like 3 months ago um
59:34
just never Happ Chris Barry wins all the internets we have to take the internets
59:38
away from whoever won it last time because that is the most creative
59:41
spelling of Wednesday I have ever seen there's even a
59:46
space it's not capitalized like let's try to find how many things are wrong
59:50
with this it's not capitalized capitalized there's a space there's a
59:54
space the the the D and the N the D and the N are reversed uh there's a missing
59:59
e there's a missing e
60:02
k it has like a 15 exclamation marks the
60:07
sentence isn't capitalized you don't need a like
60:11
there okay yay
60:16
Chris we love you man welcome to the
60:19
internet I have what's bit cass's infinite drive I'm not familiar with
60:23
that unfortunately maybe we should look into that after
60:28
sure um Blu-ray burners for giving others huge amounts of data without
60:32
giving them a whole hard drive and bdxl is 125 gigs okay but how much does a
60:36
bdxl cost so that still holds with sort
60:40
of what we're saying and if I ever give people huge amounts of data um it's
60:45
usually not like here archive this it's usually like here take this really
60:48
quickly and I would use I was going there
60:53
yeah I would use a flash drive man I would use a flash drive or I would like
60:58
FTP it to them or I would use a Dropbox system so for the cost of your Blu-ray
61:03
discs to match that 2 TB capacity you could buy your 2 TB hard drive and a big
61:08
fat USB drive and they're
61:12
rewritable again yeah but and you could get like a baller one like this that's
61:16
impossible to destroy Survivor Stealth for the win they're pretty epic but like
61:21
I I I understand he's trying to play devil advocate he's trying to like spur
61:25
the conversation but I just still don't think it's feasible what Summoner name
61:28
do you play and what region do you play on shout out to Henry
61:33
fam yeah I back up my Wii and PS2 games
61:37
on okay yes you can back up your games
61:41
on that's a legitimate reason to have well sort of legitimate reason to have a
61:44
burner he's actually doing it hey look at that look how the color changes when
61:48
I switch these it's better on this one see how yellow we look cuz you can have
61:51
different settings in the scenes I know but I think I must have messed up scene
61:54
one well we were in kind of a hurry in my defense yeah whatever at least it's
61:58
working want to replace my two see this is the problem that I have with the case
62:03
guys who don't use standard fan sizes and I mean I know 200 mil and 160 mil
62:08
and 180 mil and 230 they're all kind of standard fan sizes but I mean by
62:12
standard like someone actually makes replacement fans for it yeah um bit
62:17
Phoenix is doing a good job of supporting the fan sizes that they
62:20
generate and bit Phoenix fans look really cool they're one of the only
62:24
Brands they perform okay yeah no I know they Alchemy Pros are good fans I'm not
62:28
saying they don't just like a lot of people like I love KN to a fans but look
62:33
at them and then put one beside a bit Phoenix fan and just like get a
62:37
13-year-old kid to pick which one he thinks is cooler okay like the bit
62:41
Phoenix fans look awesome by that lot okay so what I should make all the
62:45
decisions in my life based on what 13-year-olds think are
62:48
cool do you have any of those in your system they're like your favorite fans
62:53
do you have any of them in your system
62:57
no but they're the best come on you know
63:01
they come on why am I fist bumping you you just
63:05
burned me I shouldn't be acknowledging this at
63:08
all they just look atrocious and like
63:12
okay if you have okay fine I will put nff 12s in the basement of my tj07 in
63:16
the basement key word actually I won't put them there I
63:21
knew you wouldn't cuz you're going to put silver Stones aren't you yeah I have air penet 21
63:26
there are okay okay okay fine here let me put it this way then if I was
63:31
building it oo I was going to say if I was building
63:36
a machine that had a closed side panel I'd use them but my wife's machine does
63:40
not use noas I have I have a test bench
63:44
with nas on it is the that's the point of the test
63:49
bench though isn't it to perform really
63:54
well no to portb sounds and stuff for fans you're using a Consolidated fan
63:58
format no no not that one no no the other test bench the one with the cougar
64:02
power supply oh we never used that one
64:06
we do sometimes we never used it has p12s on it we used we used it for months
64:11
we used that test bench almost exclusively for months because no not
64:15
almost exclusively because I needed another test bench and you said here's a
64:18
bunch of Hardware build one and I grabbed those
64:21
fans no I changed no no you don't
64:25
remember because because I changed them out when I was trying to do acoustic
64:28
testing on video cards I needed fans
64:32
that could run near silent on the actual
64:35
CPU Cooler itself so that I could take sound readings from the video card on an
64:40
overclocked CPU system without the CPU fans ramping up like crazy they are the
64:44
best fans but you didn't care about the look of it because it was on a
64:48
performance-based test bench but if it was a choice between
64:53
these and ones that didn't perform well at all I would go with these oh of
64:57
course yeah no I I love Noctua fans I just can't bring myself to install them
65:01
in my system because they're ugly but AP 121s are like they look great and they
65:05
perform they're 90% as good gentle typhoons
65:09
are you could argue as good but I
65:12
wouldn't run them at those kinds of RPMs so I would take a knock to over gentle
65:15
typhoons to be perfectly honest gentle typhoons don't look that great but I
65:18
think they look better than GED Wings aren't that great but they're pretty
65:22
good and they look really good they look really good UV UV in my system is like
65:27
awesome
65:32
yeah uh okay there was someone I promised to do a uh there was someone I
65:37
promised to do a shout out to this week and I I gotta go I gotta go
65:42
check uh I don't know what to discuss I don't have any topic Twitter QA Twitter
65:47
Q&A I forget how to do this right ah
65:50
noobs can play Shout Out shout out to noobs can playay peace bro
65:58
why did you get a no record found um uh
66:03
uh we're not going about we're not going to talk about problems with the search
66:06
function on nx's website uh have you heard about lus has
66:11
you have you heard about Vortex based video no no I've never heard of this
66:18
either I use my iPhone Notes pad Notes app all the time that's one thing I do
66:22
have a problem with is the notes app on
66:25
iOS products is kind of awesome and I have a lot of problems with the one on
66:28
my Android but then like I said I downloaded a new one which is an awesome
66:32
thing about Android and then it totally solved the problem okay we have another
66:36
Samsung topic to discuss the Evolution
66:40
Kit you mentioned this but didn't go into detail so this is this is some CES
66:45
News they first unveiled this last year so the Evolution Kit get
66:53
this this face should give you some idea how stupid I think this is I was already
66:58
kind of like uh the Evolution Kit allows
67:01
you to take your 2012 model Smart TV and
67:05
by adding a pack to the back of it to
67:09
meet the ongoing you know memory and
67:12
processing and power requirements of
67:15
smart TVs and the media and everything that's happening you can upgrade your
67:20
2012 Smart TV to the 2013 version by
67:24
putting this pack on the back
67:28
back I feel like if I was in the store I would buy it just so you would go
67:33
away just go away so you get the latest
67:37
Suite of applications you get um why do you need a pack for
67:41
applications well this is the first question that I was sort of thinking oh
67:45
okay continue sorry well I guess actually no my first question is why do
67:49
you need a smart TV at all why don't you buy a pivos AOS and hook it up to your
67:52
TV and then you'll get firmware updates for free 100% And I've heard a lot of
67:57
pro problems with the gestures tons of problems with the gestur do you remember
68:00
that Samsung all-in one that we had that we did an unboxing of yeah I tried to
68:04
demo the gesture thing I didn't get a single bit of usable footage it just
68:08
doesn't work and the gestures on the TV
68:11
at the keynote at the Samsung Canada thing the guy on stage was trying to
68:15
demo it and it didn't work at all gestures are going to be incredible when
68:20
they work really well but we're not there yet here's the thing to actually
68:24
build in the hardware that would be required to properly map the human body
68:30
in any kind of remotely reasonable real time and I'm not talking connect with
68:35
like you know a half second delayer okay it's not a half second but with it with
68:38
any kind of leg or any kind of ambiguity as to what you're doing for it to
68:42
actually work perfectly so that it can recognize you whether you're standing
68:45
like this or whether you're like you
68:48
know on the couch like this the I mean it would basically need
68:52
a computer in it and like there's a lot of little companies and some bigger
68:56
companies making some really interesting hand gester M uh programs for computer
69:00
and stuff but there's still tons of problems with them tons of problems I
69:03
mean the closest I think will be is like a glove have you seen yeah have you seen
69:08
that like weird crazy multicolored glove uh no I haven't seen that I can't
69:12
remember what they're called but it it looks like you like spilled a whole bunch of different colored paints on a
69:15
glove okay and they wear them and the gestures you can do with them are
69:18
insanely accurate okay see something like that could work and guys please for
69:22
the love of peanuts um stop asking us if
69:26
we have heard about the leap motion yes we have heard about the leap motion yes
69:31
it's cool it is not out yet I cannot
69:35
unbox it yet I have been in touch with them we're going to arrange to get
69:39
something going once they actually have units that they can ship but uh yeah I'm
69:44
super excited about it I think this could be Bridging the Gap between the
69:49
touchscreen interface and the totally not touchcreen you know for those folks
69:53
who don't want to touch their screen for folks who are too far away from their
69:56
monitor and this is uncomfortable they could still come up and go like this um
70:00
if it works then like awesome it should be really cool otherwise you know we'll
70:05
all forget about it at some point
70:10
uh apparently S node is really good on Note 2 because of S Pen support that's
70:15
kind of cool to hear but doesn't help all the incredible amount of S3 owners
70:19
of which by the way is more than any other smartphone
70:23
ever bam so like that's awesome and I'm
70:27
happy it works good for you and Spen is pretty cool but like there's a billion
70:30
of us maybe more than that I was trying to just pick a really big number that
70:35
that's a good idea do you think it's the transparent OLED display they were showing a while back no cuz if they
70:39
they've shown it before I kind of doubt it yeah because they're talking about
70:43
like whole new design and like shape of
70:46
the TV and stuff so unless they took that and shaped it
70:50
differently um I am building an x79 rig
70:53
now and Slick runs a z77 rig now so I
70:57
guess both of us will be waiting for the next chipet before we make any
71:01
upgrades I use Blue-ray for backing up my Blu-ray movies no you should use a
71:05
hard drive for backing up your Blu-ray
71:10
movies okay whoa that's a lot of sorry
71:13
if you tweet that many times I'm going to have to skip yes we are going to have
71:16
an x40 and x60 and a review comparison and conclusion we haven't had time we're
71:21
going to use the standardized test bench I'm actually going to have to do some
71:24
fancy dremeling to make the x60 fit in it but that's okay we're going to do it
71:29
um so yeah we will do that but it'll be once we get back from CES Yin Yik I am
71:34
very sorry if I'm pronouncing your name wrong um
71:41
J I get it you're GNA do it again when I start
71:45
talking at you okay so I don't know probably not
71:49
for an incredibly long time but if you're interested in that kind of stuff Google up Oculus Rift that's the closest
71:54
thinging be getting in the near future they're awesome look it
71:59
up you can pre-order them what are you
72:03
talking about which which one easily
72:06
dies sorry you those are totally totally
72:10
different things in every possible way no I wouldn't really recommend a GT 640
72:14
anything under a hundred bucks for a graphics card is not a good value and I
72:19
don't mean it's not cheap it is cheap but it's not a good value because value
72:24
is I I think of in terms of frames per second per dollar I actually had someone
72:28
giving me a really hard time on uh on Twitter because I wouldn't recommend a
72:33
GT uh or a GTX uh 650 to someone and I
72:37
was like GTX 650 is not a good value I
72:40
said and they're like oh lus not everyone you know blah blah blah can get
72:44
the best card and you guys are so focused on GTX 660 Ti and 670 like well
72:49
no actually it's you can get a 650 TI
72:53
but the difference in performance between a 650 and a 650 TI is like this
72:59
and the difference in price is like this value is FPS per dollars not just
73:05
dollars so a 640 is never a good value
73:09
because it costs like 80% of what something way better costs but it'll
73:15
perform like half as well so it's a terrible terrible value never buy entry
73:18
level video cards you got to look into the price for performance curves and
73:23
like if you're buying like a a card like that it's going to be obsolete so quick
73:28
yeah do you know where I can buy modded cases I don't know no I mod them
73:35
myself buy a Dremel and some like panels from Home
73:40
Depot or wherever you buy okay Home Depot stuff well I think that wraps it
73:45
up for now thank you guys for tuning in to our shortened live stream hopefully
73:49
two weeks from now when we do the next live stream you guys will be able to um
73:54
tune on time because we'll be like ready
73:58
and I'm sure we'll have tons more topics it's been kind of dead lately because
74:01
everyone's just kind of Calm before the storming because of CES so so we're
74:05
going to have way way too much stuff to talk about yeah instead of just like
74:09
might have to do like a deluxe like longer live stream or something maybe
74:13
we'll talk about it in the uh in the cool down from CES we'll plan like one
74:17
like a debriefing maybe we do like a three or five hour live stream or
74:21
something like that as long as we get a huge list of comments I mean uh topics
74:26
and people are willing to come around I'm cool with it yeah okay all right
74:29
