okay and we're back and hopefully the audio is fine it sounds fine to me it's
0:06
fine for some people yeah apparently it was fine to some people so I suspect it
0:09
was more of a twitch issue than anything else but since we're restarting the show
0:13
we have to do a very brief thing here so we're going to cover the Intel x99 chipset in their eight core brand new
0:17
extreme Edition 5960x Amazon purchased switch TV for $1 billion 970 million 1
0:24
billion is dollars all right uh Microsoft is cracking down on fake apps
0:29
in the Windows store Windows 9 will be free or quite cheap and boom here's the
0:41
intro no I haven't actually watched this
0:44
really yeah like not in a long time nicer than I thought it was yeah it's
0:49
really good except you need to make an Asian
0:53
smaller guy instead of the Luke on the right there all right so our sponsors
0:58
this week are what did I do oh that's
1:01
sort of terrible okay we're going to have to watch it again apparently no
1:06
don't worry I I got this and yay our sponsors this week are
1:13
54 Club they have actually slightly
1:17
revised their usual deal so I will be giving you guys more details but instead
1:23
of the old offer you may actually get
1:26
cash money in your box
1:30
which I think is pretty darn interesting also oh wow I I did it again that that
1:37
is something that is something all right
1:40
so also powering the show this week is
1:44
hyperx and um we've actually got the intro playing yeah the intro is playing
1:49
okay I got this i got this i got this under control this is what happens when
1:52
I don't sleep and the entire week is a complete disaster for me so this week
1:58
the show is also brought to you by hyperx we've actually got Luke and
2:03
Brandon down at PAX Prime they are powered by hyperx down there at the show
2:08
and they are going to be doing a great job of bringing you guys some great content from pack so one thing to keep
2:15
in mind guys is that hyperx asked for us
2:18
to mention their YouTube channel so that's youtube.com/ Kingston hyperx
2:23
they've got a lot of great gaming content on there so make sure that you
2:26
check that out all right so
2:31
uh all right twitch chat I'm sorry we're done with the technical
2:36
difficulties for now all right so our first news topic this week and this is
2:41
this was po this was removed from the Forum since the original post by
2:46
Marcus UK so the article here is from
2:50
Gamespot and Amazon acquires Twitch in A1 billion deal see Gamespot agrees with
2:55
me $1 billion now this flies in the face of
3:00
the original rumors that YouTube was going to acquire twitch and we were
3:06
actually talking about this in the car on the way back from the office the
3:09
other day and I think the Amazon
3:12
acquisition makes sense but I think you were saying that YouTube might have been
3:17
a more might have been a more sensible option depending on Whose perspective
3:22
we're talking about so I think it's better that Amazon bot
3:27
twitch just because you don't have that Consolidated of uh with regard to videoing I was just
3:34
playing Devil's Advocate because Google
3:37
has acquired a ton of things and they haven't really ruined them except for
3:42
like ways and what else I think there are people
3:46
who would argue that they've kind of ruined YouTube compared to the sort of
3:50
the Indie vibe that YouTube had going on at the beginning but honestly I think it
3:55
was going to go that direction eventually anyway because they were
3:58
going to have to figure out a monetization model it's just that Google
4:02
figured that out and YouTube might have come to a very similar conclusion on
4:06
their own if they had stayed independent except that they might not have been
4:09
able to ever build the kind of infrastructure to support you know HD
4:13
and now 4K that Google has managed to build to back it up IIT s you trying to
4:18
say that YouTube was ruined or wasn't I'm trying to say some people say it is
4:22
I personally don't think so yeah they're crazy yeah I mean I think that YouTube
4:26
has been great for Content creators and it's been pretty darn good with some
4:31
obvious hiccups like the recent go plus integration and that's not being
4:35
consumers yeah and the fact that we can't upload anything right now but by
4:41
and large it's better than it used to be I mean I used to have issues uploading
4:45
files all the time now it's like weird
4:48
when it happens apparently I look awkward you look awkward I think we both
4:52
look awkward because the camera is like super awkward and we far away and stuff
4:58
but so what would you have seen happening then if Google acquired twitch
5:04
instead of Amazon I think it would be largely the
5:10
same just because I don't think either of them want to ruin a good thing
5:15
because twitch is as big big as it is
5:19
just because that's what they do they've only been around three years Jus in TV
5:23
was longer that's true but the whole
5:27
game streaming thing has only been around for three years on
5:31
twitch.tv or twitch I guess is their it's their current brand which is more
5:36
reason not to tamper with anything just
5:40
because who else really understands game streaming besides switch and isubu TV
5:46
who else now that's it that's pretty much it so they can't really bring in
5:50
their own experience just because they don't have that experience so I think by
5:55
and large either company would would have left twitch alone
6:00
hard to say because even though twitch has so much more experience with live
6:04
game streaming I think that if if Google
6:07
acquired them and this was this was this was an opinion that I saw kind of echoed
6:12
in a number of different places I think had Google acquired twitch they would
6:16
have been the little brother of YouTube and the YouTube Team could claim to have
6:20
a lot of experience with game streamers because typically archived content even
6:26
from Big Game streamers will do better on YouTube over the long term than it
6:30
does on Twitch in fact twitch has even revised their archiving policies to
6:34
delete to well to try to delete most of people's old footage unless they're
6:38
saving it as a highlight reel cuz no one's really watching it it's just
6:42
taking up space I watch it okay you watch it but but would it kill you to go
6:48
on their YouTube channel to watch
6:52
it okay well from my perspective I watch
6:56
tournaments uh when they're not in the right time zone and or like if I just
7:01
miss it so I'll usually go to that twitch broadcast channel and watch the
7:08
the vods on there whereas I would have to like YouTube and
7:13
search some random channel to find
7:17
right you know this is the this is an interesting take on this I've got a few
7:21
people in the twitch chat suggesting that Amazon was actually buying the
7:25
streaming technology that twitch has been using I don't know if I buy that I
7:30
mean Amazon's already got their on demand video it's not like they don't
7:35
have the backbone to stream video um I I
7:41
really don't think that that's it I mean I think that there's probably a trick or
7:44
two that twitch has developed over the last few years here that is that is
7:48
helping them to do what they're doing but having actually chatted with someone
7:53
pretty high up at twitch around this time last year I mean they were they
7:58
were br forcing a lot of it at least a year ago and there isn't really a way
8:06
without building data centers all over
8:09
the place to make streaming much less
8:12
demanding which happens to be exactly what Amazon has and that's why that's a
8:17
marriage made in heaven and mind you it's much the in much the same way that
8:21
Google and twitch would have been as well because Google also has data
8:24
centers all over the place that would have been able to reduce the latency
8:28
that we all experience with twitch as well as potentially increase the
8:32
quity and reliability of the streams so
8:35
I I totally disagree that Amazon bought
8:38
them for the technology I don't think their technology is anything special
8:41
compared to what Amazon
8:44
does someone says edel stop staring at lonus he can't
8:49
resist oh okay fine I'll I'll stare at
8:52
that I'm trying to listen to you and that's the best way to listen you're
8:56
trying to listen to me that's your first mistake yeah I'm just going to to zoom this in a little
9:03
bit there we go hopefully that's a wow
9:07
because the camera's crooked I look super tall which is not the cas at all
9:12
I'm actually taller than lonus someone says now you have a baby
9:16
you look all grown up I actually have two two kids now and uh I probably look
9:22
grown up because I look old because I am
9:26
super super tired this week it has been a crazy week uh should we talk about it
9:31
a little bit your baby no not my baby
9:35
the the week we've had what would you know about my baby uh
9:40
no name yeah actually we have named her
9:43
now really yes I basically just gave up
9:48
and yvon went with it no I I'm not going to I don't reveal the kids names on uh I
9:53
don't reveal the kids names on the stream or anything it's wona yeah it's
9:57
not it's not wona but uh yeah been we
10:00
have named the baby so we came in on
10:05
Monday morning and since then it's been
10:09
pretty much a blur we have uh okay so
10:14
our main office room all the editing um I painted it while you guys were doing
10:18
arts and crafts wait Monday really yeah
10:22
yeah we got started Monday I think wait what no it's it was supposed to be 3
10:27
days and today was the fourth wasn't it
10:30
oh yeah you're right what did we do
10:34
Monday well Brandon wasn't back
10:38
yet whoa what did we this week feels like
10:43
it's been two weeks have we been at this for five days no no no no no I don't
10:48
think so okay anyway the point is let's say
10:53
Tuesday let's assume it was Tuesday Tuesday Morning um we tore apart the
10:59
office office so all the workstation PCS all the editing machines we tore them
11:04
out of the office and Scattered them throughout the building because there
11:08
was no space for anything we piled all the desks in the middle and Nick and I
11:13
painted the room then um so what were
11:16
you doing on the first day I don't remember like
11:23
I what which was the first day was it Monday or Tuesday Tuesday let's say it
11:27
was Tuesday okay build any PCS on the
11:30
first day I thought on the first
11:34
day Luke was drilling holes into things
11:38
right so the cases we picked needed to
11:41
have two holes drilled in the top of each of them before we could actually
11:45
install any hardware because there was a clearance issue with the radiators in
11:48
spite of our pre-planning that we hoped was going to work so Luke spent a lot of
11:54
time doing that on the first day and then I started building some of the
11:58
computers putting processors on motherboards you helped with that
12:03
installing RAM power supply power supply that was first day yeah that was first
12:07
day and then second day we did we finish
12:11
the computers the second day I think second day we did liquid cooling yeah so
12:16
we finished building the PCS which when it's five PCS is actually somewhat timec
12:21
consuming especially when lonus gets abandoned by Luke so that he can test
12:27
Intel's new fourth gen processors that second day cuz lukee helped on the first
12:31
day yeah I think we're I think we're getting this it's all been a blur we've
12:35
taken so much video and you promised
12:39
that the videos about this are going to be awesome right uh now you're on the spot you
12:44
asked if they would be good not awesome and I said I would make it good okay I
12:51
guess that's what we're going to have to uh to go with we've got people
12:54
complaining about audio sync issues again but the reality of it is guys is I
12:58
think it's just just one of those things where yeah it's nothing to do with mine
13:03
is just broken da no no no those are out those were released today the all new
13:09
fourth gen 8 Core Extreme Edition all that good stuff so
13:15
um would it help if I put the computer here so
13:21
that I told you it looked like I was staring at your crotch okay if I put the
13:25
computer here maybe that'll maybe that'll help a little bit um so on the
13:31
second day we finished building the computers and I don't know whether it's
13:34
because Swift Tech's fittings are super tight or their tubing is a little bit
13:39
big when the weather's really hot but we were having a lot of trouble getting
13:44
fittings on and those computers took
13:47
more than a full day of working to
13:51
install fittings in and install tubing in so then after that that's when Nick
13:57
was working on redoing the to mount the radiator to the outside of
14:01
the house right I don't know about that part just because I was busy fiddling
14:06
with the fittings the entire time yeah Ed was the one we I actually didn't even
14:10
know how swift teex quick disconnects worked and Ed was the one who figured
14:14
out that we have to what does it come with it comes with a socket a G1 quarter
14:19
socket and then we have to put an end cap on instead right yeah yeah how did I
14:24
even figure that out I think I may have just been trying
14:29
to undo the quick disconnect and then I
14:32
couldn't figure that out and just twisting it things came off and I may
14:37
have picked up the wrong piece and tried to put that on but it worked out yeah
14:42
yeah so we figured that out and then through during that time Nick was uh
14:47
realizing along with me that our original plan for mounting the radiators
14:52
on the fascia board like under the roof overhang was not going to work it was
14:58
way too big big and way too heavy like
15:02
that Biz was not happening so Nick had
15:05
to figure out how to build a like a wooden frame around the whole thing and
15:10
then Mount the radiators to that and then we had to find a way to get that on
15:14
the roof and I think that was what we did on the third day we mounted the
15:18
radiator to the roof in the
15:21
morning third day was wasn't that
15:25
yesterday though yeah was that third day yeah we mounted the radiator yesterday
15:29
and then today four days what do on Monday the afternoon yesterday and
15:34
today we have filled the loop now a
15:38
total of three times due to various leaking and configuration
15:45
issues so that's been our week this week uh we can move on to actually I'm going
15:49
to try to uh I'm going to try to upload this file again just because you know I
15:54
can I can have a dream that maybe YouTube won't be broken uh the radiator
15:59
isn't actually on the roof right it's uh
16:04
in between the houses so here are the houses one house our house it's like
16:10
over here and no matter where the sun is
16:13
it's actually in the shade so it's not going to get
16:16
cooked yeah we were actually kind of fortunate that there was somewhere
16:20
sensible to put that because that wasn't
16:23
necessarily um a thing that we plannned
16:27
why is the piping not in the wall no way
16:31
Firefox is working and chrome isn't for
16:34
our upload
16:38
brilliant freaking jokes man jokes man
16:43
are we even using the Steed water no we're not right nope yeah it's just from
16:47
the hose yeah it's from the hose cuz that was how the only way we were able
16:50
to fill it um so lonus went up on the
16:55
ladder radiator we brought up a hose
16:59
into the bathroom and fill it that way this might
17:04
look wrong that definitely looks all
17:10
wrong yeah so that was the only way we could even get water into it because we
17:15
are not using a closed system it's not
17:18
sealed we actually have like a a fill
17:21
tube that goes up above the highest
17:24
level of the of the piping that's in the room so the only way to get any in there
17:29
cuz there's no room to even pour is to put the hose in because if we brought it
17:33
down any lower as soon as the pump stops
17:36
the system would back up and pour water
17:40
which we discovered the hard way once we discovered that it wasn't quite high
17:44
enough were you there for that no I I think I was outside oh no it poured
17:47
water all over me ah yeah I have gotten sprayed with water quite a few times in
17:53
the last few days it has been extremely exciting
17:59
all right so why don't we move on to our next topic here NVIDIA will allegedly
18:05
skip 800 Series Desktop cards and the
18:08
next generation will be called 900
18:11
series this was posted by Rock 1 M1
18:15
originally on the lus tech tips Forum so
18:18
I guess do you want to give the basic facts here why don't we just if you put
18:21
your leg down Wen really we can put this on both of our our legs then we can both
18:25
look like we're staring at each other it was just like room so there's not much
18:30
to talk about yeah so the fact is the rumor is that in order to align with
18:36
what was it the notebook naming scheme they were going to name the notebook
18:41
line G9 or was it GTX 900 yeah or 900m
18:46
but then they thought that it would be confusing because the desktop was still
18:50
on 700 and the notebooks are the
18:53
notebooks were rebranded 800 a little while ago so they're in this weird
18:58
position where they've they've done this at times I mean they've done it right
19:02
now where the notebook ones are a series
19:06
ahead of the desktop ones even though they're running this completely the same
19:11
architecture um but I guess if they
19:14
found themselves two gens ahead on mobile that might get extremely
19:19
confusing and then or if they're planning to refresh both at the same
19:23
time then now's a good time to just kind of skip one and catch up it's not the
19:27
first time they've done it there was never a GTX 380 was that just for mobile uh no there
19:33
was never I don't think there was ever a GTX 300 series at all cuz we got yeah
19:38
they scrapped that yeah yeah I think the the rumor was they just completely
19:41
scrapped the project entirely well the announcement will come
19:47
rumored come on September 9th wow that's
19:51
really soon we've got a lot of stuff going on right now with all the new
19:55
Intel stuff uh ddr4 so our first video
20:00
about the uh in the NVIDIA about the Intel Haswell e 8 Core Extreme Edition
20:06
will actually be coming I think Tuesday
20:09
night so Luke has run all the benchmarks I've scripted the video but we haven't
20:14
had a single video editing workstation up and running in order laptop to
20:19
actually make it so well there was a laptop but we were using that to make
20:24
the videos that we've released over the last couple days so yeah there's been no
20:28
time but guys this thing is a beast
20:33
Intel has finally done it they have
20:36
caught up to the mainstream platform I mean I don't know about the rest of you
20:41
but I have found it extremely frustrating that for must be about 5
20:46
years now you've been able to get better technology by buying into a mainstream
20:52
platform than by buying into an Enthusiast platform I mean what's the
20:57
deal with that and we're not even just talking about CPU architecture so ever
21:02
since the uh the LGA 1156 LGA 1366 days
21:07
ever since then you've been able to get you know things like um Quicks sync
21:13
technology for quick video transcoding you've been able to get more usb3 ports
21:19
native usb3 ports more native SATA 3
21:22
connectors or even native SATA 3 connectors at all back in the x58 days
21:27
like Thunderbolt all this new technology has been coming to the mainstream LGA
21:32
1155 and LGA 1150 platforms before we
21:36
get it on LGA 2011 well now all of that
21:40
changes there is actually a justifiable
21:43
reason to go LGA 20113 so the CPUs are all more course I
21:50
mean that was supposed to be a big selling point even back with x58 was it
21:55
can support more than four cores we had six cores the problem is that the only
21:58
one on the in the consumer space was the 980x it was a and the
22:03
990x and zons I guess but these are not
22:06
these are not really consumer grade price points they were thousand CPUs so
22:12
everyone just went with quad course on the mainstream platform because a few
22:17
more PCI Express Lanes in triple Channel or quad Channel memory is not enough to
22:21
justify a CPU architecture that is inherently anywhere from 8 to 15% slower
22:27
depending on which generational Gap we're looking at regardless of how much
22:32
memory bandwidth it has so now with LG
22:38
20113 we are getting the same CPU
22:41
architecture so it's Haswell or Haswell e but basically Haswell e is just
22:46
Haswell with more Hells we are getting
22:50
ddr4 which right now is very expensive
22:53
for not much of a performance gain but in the future will give us much higher
22:57
speed memory we're getting sad Channel memory we're getting more PCI Express
23:01
Lanes so 40 on the highend chips and then I believe don't quote me on this I
23:05
believe it's either 26 or 28 PCI Express Lanes on the lower end chip we're
23:10
getting the same feature set so we can get Thunderbolt enabled motherboards
23:14
which is really awesome like the x99 deluxe from ASUS has that Thunderbolt
23:18
header so you can add their Thunderbolt 2 expansion card we are getting the
23:23
works and it is what's
23:27
up now are uh saying I'm quiet oh you're
23:30
quiet sorry kind of got on the whole Intel quation I'm on kind of a thing
23:36
because the problem with LGA 2011 was
23:39
there was one CPU that was Within Reach
23:43
for general consumers and it was either the 382k or the 4820k for the last
23:49
couple of generations the problem was that was a quad core chip it was a
23:54
quadcore chip that was more expensive on a more expensive platform form with more
23:59
expensive RAM for literally no performance Improvement unless you
24:04
really need the extra memory bandwidth or you really need a few more PCI
24:07
Express Lanes which most people don't need unless they also need more
24:11
processing cores so in order to even get
24:15
a sensible configuration on LGA 2011 you were spending $600 plus dollars on your
24:19
chip not exactly uh compelling sort of
24:24
you know gamer type of price point well
24:27
now on LGA 2011 3 for around 400 bucks
24:32
you can get a six core so all of a sudden the entire Intel lineup makes
24:37
sense again so on the mainstream you got quad cores up to nice high clocked ones
24:43
like their new Devil's Canyon the 4790k then you pay another I guess it's
24:49
around another $75 to $100 you get two
24:52
more cores plus a more robust more
24:56
Enthusiast grade platform and ddr4 support then beyond that you get a few
25:00
more PCI Express Lanes although I think that lower end one is going to be the
25:04
more appealing one for most enthusiasts and then at the very high end there's
25:07
the extreme Edition the whole thing finally makes sense again so that's what
25:13
I'm excited about and yeah we've got people talking
25:16
about it in twitch chat that six core for 389 looks like a good CPU for the
25:21
money damn right because even though single-threaded performance isn't going
25:25
to be any better overclocking is solid
25:28
ddr4 is going to help a little bit and if you need the extra cores like let's
25:33
say you want to I don't know output videos while you game then you will have
25:38
it someone says hire Luke back
25:41
please lonus everyone is ignoring you and staring at
25:46
edil Luke is not fired well not any more than he's
25:50
usually fired Luke is at packs so he was
25:53
driving last night and he's doing show coverage right now so he and Brandon are
25:59
are doing a great job of that presumably
26:03
they're asking him to poke me they always do this they do this with Luke
26:06
too Luke poke lus why is this room so hot as if I'm not also looking at the
26:10
twitch chat you know what this isn't nearly as hot as it usually is we have a
26:15
fan blowing and we have the window open window's not open the window's not
26:19
open oh you're going to want to open that window that explains why it's so hot in
26:25
here
26:30
oh I love this show all right so in other news that I
26:36
suspect almost nobody cared about origin
26:39
PC and AMD have officially made up so
26:42
origin will once again give buyers the option to use AMD cards in their origin
26:47
PCS this was posted by Juan Wu 26 on the
26:50
Forum um did you even hear about this no
26:55
but I read up on what the comments said and apparently origin PC just got butt
26:59
hurt is that right just because they didn't uh they weren't informed by AMD
27:05
about the Hawaii GPU launch okay so there's a couple of things
27:10
um so rumor number one is that NVIDIA
27:15
had a program where they paid origin
27:18
copious amounts of money to not sell AMD
27:22
but that's just a rumor but that is just a rumor um NVIDIA has come out and said
27:27
that's not true um so that's all we know about that uh
27:33
what I do know is that origin was not at the AMD Hawaii GPU
27:39
event and main gear PC had a demo
27:44
system up running Hawaii gpus at the
27:48
event when origin did not allegedly have any access
27:54
to said GPU so the rumor
27:58
is that origin basically was super upset about that and was like what you don't
28:02
want us to sell your gpus fine we're not going to sell your gpus anyway so
28:06
apparently they have kissed and made up and uh AMD apologized which you know I
28:13
think was probably merited cuz it's one thing if you invite
28:18
you know all your system builder Partners to come and showcase their rigs
28:23
it's another if you pick one favorite one and then leave all the others out or
28:28
even one of the budget concern I don't
28:31
think so I mean that Hawaii event cost a
28:35
fortune maybe that's why there was a budget issue just getting everyone there
28:40
they blew it all on lus wow I mean they had I think they had
28:46
over aund Tech journalists at that
28:49
event so they could have just not invited me and Austin and they could
28:54
have probably afforded to have origin there and then this whole thing could
28:57
have been avoided but who's more important really
29:02
like me and Austin yeah or origin PC I
29:06
think we have to do a straw pull straw pull time guys straw po do you want to
29:12
see what I'm typing you can look at my crotch there we go who okay this is me
29:17
looking at the laptop and this is me looking at his crotch this there's a
29:23
difference lonus and Austin origin PC
29:28
you know what's funny is we're actually going to be covering a really cool new
29:32
product from origin at the show I'm not I'm not down on Origin at all they're
29:35
cool guys they have great products it's just uh just having some fun at their
29:40
expense right now all right here we go here we go I'm
29:43
sorry you're not logged in yeah there you go what the
29:49
deuce all right guys I'm sharing this with you
29:53
now I'm trying to trying desperately to
29:57
you know I'm actually really excited about the technological improvements
30:01
that I think the Amazon acquisition is going to bring to Twitch what's what
30:05
what do you think is going to change I think it will improve reliability
30:08
because Amazon is reliable I mean
30:13
AWS yeah is reliable except for those times that it has gone down and led to
30:20
dozens of sites being offline okay when
30:24
when AWS has a problem I think the new
30:28
news about it gets Amplified I don't think that's because AWS has tons of
30:33
problems compared to other services I think it's just that because they host
30:37
so much it's a lot more noticeable when
30:41
there's some kind of an issue I
30:46
think I think that might be an issue in
30:50
itself just because if twitch goes down
30:53
with like abson hosting it and like 10 other sites that you
31:00
might go to also go down right you know what are you left with whereas if those
31:05
go down you still have twitch so you can you can watch us well I suspect that
31:10
they will be I mean unless you know an entire data center loses power and is
31:14
underwater or something like that I suspect you won't see an outright outage
31:18
of something like twitch you might see the service slow down in much the same
31:22
way that we often see happen now but it has happened right right hasn't it
31:28
pretty sure where it's like oh blah blah blah is
31:32
down and it's all leads to Amazon being
31:36
down very rare but I think the thing we can all agree on is that lonus and
31:41
Austin were much more important to invite to the Hawaii event than origin
31:44
PC so we're really sorry about that origin you know you guys uh you guys you
31:49
guys tried you know you tried to be as cool as me and Austin but unfortunately
31:53
that wasn't going to happen all right what do we got for our next topic
31:58
aha valve will optimize their streaming
32:01
service with NVIDIA Hardware so this is
32:05
from the NVIDIA blog let's go ahead and share my screen with you guys
32:09
here there we go valin NVIDIA just made
32:13
game streaming better than ever last week valve officially released support
32:16
for Hardware en coding on NVIDIA GeForce gpus in the steam client pair the
32:21
support with one of the latest GeForce GTX gpus and you can play remotely from
32:24
your PC connected to any steam enabled system in your home at resolutions of up
32:28
1080 60p
32:32
so I think this is kind of NVIDIA making
32:36
a lot of noise about something that was bound to happen eventually and really
32:39
not that different from much anything else anyhow but it's great I mean have
32:46
you tried steam in home streaming no no okay it is awesome and I've actually
32:53
spent a little bit of time on Steam Chat with the lead Dev for Ste in home
32:58
streaming um and he was I was chatting to him about sort of video encoding and
33:03
decoding and what they're doing with respect to lowering latency and it's
33:09
absolutely fascinating because they basically have to rackle it from a
33:15
different angle for every different combination of encoders and decoders in
33:20
order to make sure that everything is compatible and everything not only works
33:25
but is extremely low latency so you
33:28
don't feel that Network lag when you move the keyb and or when you press the
33:32
keybard move the mouse what do I play overing home streaming almost anything
33:36
I've even played FPS games is that to The Shield or no so one of the
33:45
potential problems with streaming within
33:49
the home so from a a more powerful PC to
33:52
a smaller device or a laptop or another PC was I saw potential competing
33:59
standards as a roadblock the fact that
34:02
NVIDIA had their own technology where it was like okay you need a GeForce GPU you
34:07
got to install GeForce experience on your PC you got to have an NVIDIA Shield
34:12
branded device so whether it's a portable handheld or the tablet and you
34:18
got to have a supported router and that is it you plug in all these things and
34:21
then all the check marks come on and it works so I kind of saw that as a
34:27
potential problem problem compared to valve solution which is okay do you have
34:32
a graphics card great do you have a CPU
34:36
also great do you have some other thing great it works except the other thing
34:42
has to run Steam and the first thing has to run Steam as well and then depending
34:47
on the hardware you were going to either have a really great experience if you
34:50
had nice fast Hardware encoding and decoding or you were going to have a
34:54
super crummy experience so for example LGA 11
34:58
1156 CPUs were available in either dual
35:01
core with onboard Graphics or quad core
35:05
with no onboard Graphics configurations the dual core would have
35:10
been able to support Hardware accelerated
35:13
decoding the quad core could not so there was some tricky stuff with
35:19
respect to making sure you had a configuration that was going to work with steam and home streaming so now
35:24
seeing NVIDIA and valve work together on this I now have complete confidence that
35:29
whether you're going to run Windows or you're going to run Steam OS people who
35:33
run AMD people who run AMD are still
35:36
going to be okay because valve is going to work with AMD as well Val because AMD
35:40
doesn't even have a competing solution they don't have free stream or whatever
35:45
it is they would call something like that you think they will so many people
35:51
have actually just gone with NVIDIA and
35:54
like completely abandoned AMD is it's funny you mention that
35:58
because the market share isn't that much different than it was 5 years ago AMD's
36:04
always kind of been in that 20 to 35%
36:08
range of the discret desktop GPU
36:11
Market that's all they really
36:15
got AMD free stream we have to start
36:18
that we have to make that happen we have to tell AMD that they have to have like
36:23
um like a a Freel handheld and then they
36:27
have to have like AMD free stream and and that should that should be
36:33
awesome for the AMD
36:36
people I'd be really interested to see valve I mean I'm I'm hoping that this is
36:41
an announcement they make in the next six months to a year but it would put
36:45
the final nail in the NVIDIA game stream coffin for me if valve released an
36:49
Android steam client and
36:53
I I see them potentially heading this
36:57
way already they ported portal to Android they ported halflife 2 to
37:02
Android they already have a steam
37:05
app so how far are we away from Steam
37:09
being your gaming Hub potentially on Android as well with all of these other
37:14
fantastic steam features running natively on Android or being streamed
37:19
running natively on Android that's what I'd like to see because then with valve
37:24
behind it I mean all the respect in the world world to the Limelight guys every
37:29
time I've used Limelight the latency has not been comparable to NVIDIA game
37:34
stream valve on the other hand I have faith that they could make that happen
37:39
and they could make streaming from your PC AMD powered Invidia powered Intel
37:46
onboard powered who cares I think they could make that a great experience
37:50
streaming to any device that has a beefy enough um h264 decoder chip on board
37:56
apparently NVIDIA did ports NVIDIA did the ports themselves
38:01
don't think so I know that NVIDIA was deeply involved in the ports but valve
38:06
was also involved in porting those games and even then I mean the fact that valve
38:10
was even willing to entertain
38:15
that I don't know we'll see I mean it's going to be it's going to be a big it's
38:21
going to be a big battle for what is the next gaming platform of choice Beyond on
38:27
the PC and Beyond really not so much the PC cuz I don't think the PC is going
38:31
anywhere but beyond the console it's either going to be some type of
38:36
lightweight PC something like an Alienware Alpha or something like uh any
38:40
other sort of lightweight desktop type machine running Steam OS or some other
38:45
Linux derivative or even Windows or it's
38:49
going to be Android and if you look at the overall strategy valve and NVIDIA
38:54
both obviously believe in different things here with valve thinking we're heading the direction of steam PCS or
38:59
whatever they want to call them and NVIDIA thinking we're headed towards Android but I don't think either of them
39:04
really Minds if it's the other one or some mix of the two because NVIDIA can
39:09
still sell you gpus over here and valve can still sell you games over
39:13
here so I wasn't listening at all I was
39:17
reading twitch chat did they say anything interesting or are they just
39:20
telling you to poke me more something about your crotch maybe
39:25
ah yes my crotch my crotch is is uh definitely one of the top subjects of
39:31
discussion on the stream today love it so originally posted by
39:37
Mech 777 the article from Hardware
39:40
360.com I'm just going to go ahead and fire this baby up here Witcher 3 Dev
39:46
promises only 30 FPS on
39:51
consoles what w although the funny thing
39:55
about this is that
39:58
uh they basically said okay we're going to be aiming for the highest resolution
40:03
possible but full HD 1080p would likely
40:07
not be possible and the only thing they could promise was 30 FPS so essentially
40:12
even though you know there have been some complaints about there being a
40:17
console release at least what the uh you
40:20
know PC Master race subreddit can uh
40:25
take some consolation in is the the fact that the experience on the console is
40:30
going to be significantly degraded is David still here David yeah yeah is can
40:36
you get the door when it rings in a minute thank you UPS is outside I think
40:42
they've got a uh Cooler Master power supply for edel's new dual Titan 12 core
40:48
editing workstation yeah that's your new power supply man and something else H yeah
40:53
David's gonna David's gonna grab it we should say hi to the UPS guy
40:57
I don't think you can hear me I think he's got his Bluetooth headset in have you ever really gotten into a
41:02
Witcher game yeah I love The Witcher games okay tell me what's appealing
41:07
about them I've tried both Witcher one and Witcher 2 enlighten me I find that
41:13
the character interactions
41:16
are above the standard that you might be
41:19
used to for most games uh the main character is actually kind of shitty he
41:24
like no offense no offense to the voice
41:28
actor or the writers but isn't that by
41:31
default isn't that who you just offended saying no offense doesn't make it
41:36
unoffensive okay fine full offense to
41:39
anyone involved but geralt is kind of a
41:44
shitty character he's always like dead pan and I don't know he's just not a
41:49
very good character but but everyone else is a good character and they
41:54
develop and like their interactions with uh you
41:57
are interesting and like it's all based on novels so like they are actually
42:03
fleshed out and uh just like playing in
42:07
that that world that actually exists in
42:10
detail somewhere uh is nicer than other games
42:16
that's that's what I like about it like how they create their creatures they
42:20
have a lore you can read up on them so on and so forth hey David could we
42:25
actually get those those things yeah do mind I just want to
42:29
find out what this is I'm hoping it's Dominator platinum ddr4 and we can show
42:35
that to you guys okay because I have
42:39
I've tried both times and within actually the funny thing is with Witcher
42:43
2 I even got like an hour and a half in
42:46
because I was looking for a consistent benchmarking spot and I just I did not
42:52
find it compelling at all thank you sir do you like fantasy
42:57
RPGs anyway I made it all the way through Dragon
43:02
Age one uh yeah Dragon Age 2 I did not find
43:08
nearly as compelling that was kind of shitty compared to uh this one Dragon
43:12
Age one was really great though I really enjoyed it I don't have a
43:16
knife I do what is this who's it
43:20
from oh it is from Corsair but I don't know what it is it
43:24
doesn't feel heavy enough to be dominator platinums wa chat guess what
43:28
it is let's play a guessing game live
43:35
unboxings
43:42
okay oh am I not supposed to swear I don't care okay try not to drop drop F
43:48
Bombs all over the place you know oh
43:51
it's the new um Corsair link thing cool
43:55
so this is supposed a pretty big improvement over the old one wow it's
44:00
much lower profile I don't know how much they've shown of this yet so I'm going
44:04
to just kind of put that back in the box for now but uh cool so we're definitely
44:09
going to check that out and then the other
44:13
one here you want to do the honors I like how you just toss things ah it's
44:18
It's Not Fragile it's Corsair it's made by Corsair so it's pretty
44:24
good unlikely to break we've actually thrown horse aair power supplies out of
44:28
out of cars and drop them off roofs speaking of great power supplies though
44:34
this is one of the finest power supplies available on the market 80 plus Platinum
44:40
1200 watt fully modular so this is a vs
44:43
series power supply from Cooler Master because we realized as we were building
44:49
the rigs for the whole room liquid cooling setup that we had asked Cooler
44:53
Master for 750 wat power supplies with the assumption that I was going to be
44:58
getting one of the Titan blacks well after much debate and much um
45:05
concealment of the actual are just like yeah let give me
45:11
the Titan yeah so I ended up with an old
45:14
GTX 285 that we had lying around
45:18
somewhere in my rig and Ed ended up with two Titans and we kind of went shoot is
45:24
750 watts even enough probably not so
45:28
cuz he's got three graphics cards in there uh what is it the two Titans and a
45:32
Quadro yeah two Titans and a Quadro plus the 10 gbit Ethernet card plus the 12
45:38
core processor so we're talking about
45:41
the kind of rig that these types of power supplies are legitimately made for
45:46
actually we should actually like measure how much it actually takes we should
45:50
measure like when you're when you're um dinking around in Cinema 4D we should
45:55
have a look at what kind of power consumption when you're hitting the RAM
45:58
the gpus and the CPU all same used that
46:01
much uh during octane oh that's right now so yeah it's
46:06
all it's all what I'm going to give the floor to you while I go get a drink of
46:10
water um would you like one too can you get my energy drink in the other room
46:14
sure yeah I'll grab your energy drink but I want you to justify because people
46:18
haven't really I think been able to
46:22
understand why anyone could possibly need a 12 core CPU 64 gigs of RAM dual
46:27
Titan blacks and a Quadro in one machine
46:30
can you justify what the heck it is you do around here that you need that kind
46:34
of power for I'll be right back justify that
46:38
okay where to start where to
46:46
start all right so for the the 12 core
46:51
processor um well I use after effects
46:54
pretty much exclusively these days no that's that's a lie uh most for the big
47:01
projects like the build guides I guess that's it these days um I use after
47:06
effects to do Motion Graphics for the intro the lower thirds and then I've
47:12
also started to use Cinema 4D and I have
47:17
the octane renderer engine which is
47:20
fully GPU accelerated so to put this
47:27
to I guess size this up against each other uh my six core processor would
47:32
render a frame in about six minutes one GPU would render one frame
47:39
in 1 minute 30 seconds I'll be back actually I'm not quite ready
47:43
yet two gpus would be around 45 seconds
47:47
I can't do math uh so three it's bound
47:52
to be what 20ish 25 seconds someone do
47:57
the math for me
48:02
please porn why are we talking about porn I don't get
48:11
this uh the yeah it's a one frame and
48:15
six second or 6 minutes because it's like 3D Ray tracing no it's actually
48:20
like Photon something or other but it's definitely more intensive than 2D video
48:25
would you like to sit back down yeah
48:29
sure I noticed in my absence you just completely took over the entire couch
48:35
awesome so had you made it through all of the components yet uh I don't think
48:39
I've Justified the RAM yet okay so in
48:43
After Effects to use multiprocessor rendering you have to assign each core
48:48
some RAM ideally you want to assign it
48:51
three gigs each I don't have enough for that so I so I assign it two G GS that's
48:58
what 2 * 12 no 24 because it counts the
49:02
separate threads as a core right 4 48
49:06
gigs so that's 48 I guess I could no
49:09
that brings it up to no you used to have no you did you didn't used to be able to
49:13
do it because you had six cores 12 threads 12 * 3 is
49:18
36 and you had 32 gigs whereas with the
49:21
new 64 gig config you'll have 24 threads time yeah
49:26
you still won't have yeah I can still only assign 12 gigs to it yeah but you
49:30
know what we could try as an experiment we could try turning off
49:34
hyperthreading because hyperthreading will give you a uh you know probably a
49:38
10 to 15% boost but you might get more
49:42
of a boost by being able to assign more RAM to your course interesting we should
49:45
play around with that that's going to be cool anyway sorry some mac users have
49:49
allegedly disabled some cores but that's not hyperthreading no
49:55
you can you can oh because the Mac Pro only has four memory slots but then you
50:00
can load it with ECC RAM so h t it I
50:04
still have more slots on there right yeah you have eight slots could get more
50:09
RAM um yes a uh ASUS has a beta BIOS for
50:13
the x79 deluxe that supports uh 16 gig
50:17
dims but only certain ones not the ones
50:20
that we originally obtained for the project okay so sorry you were
50:24
justifying why you need why you need all these uh I Justified the Cinema 4D just
50:29
because uh linear performance scaling
50:32
with graphics cards which is amazing I think I need two more Titans honestly
50:38
cuz Okay take the cost of a Titan right and
50:44
then ,000
50:47
take count how many hours an extra Titan
50:51
would save me in rendering in the one project we've everever done one so far
50:56
more it could be more if I could do things faster I could do more of those
51:02
and that's how I'm trying to justify two more Titans well you've got two why
51:06
don't we see how it goes from
51:11
there anyway so because of him I don't
51:15
even have a DisplayPort output so my LG monitor is running on a DVI to HDMI
51:21
adapter and HDMI in at 50 HZ so I'm
51:25
going to have to obtain some other kind of GPU for my system and when that
51:30
happens I guess around the same time we're going to add another pump to the
51:33
whole room setup so that bleeding air from the system is much much easier
51:38
because right now the only way to bleed the air from the lines that go down and
51:43
then up to each system from the top of the room is to disconnect all the other
51:48
systems so that the main pump is only pushing through one system so that we
51:52
can get all the air bubbles out but what's cool is the way we have it
51:57
working right now none of the systems
52:01
even have pumps on so if we could close
52:04
the door to the server room the fans are on the fans are running you still want
52:08
fans running but we wouldn't have to have them all running so the way that
52:11
it's set up right now if we could close the door to the server room we could actually have the room be extremely
52:17
quiet which uh how loud is the the red
52:20
not bad not bad but what I'm thinking is we might get um like a variable power
52:25
supply so we could dial it into 8 volts or something like that cuz with 20
52:30
Noctua industrial N2 fans and then five
52:34
quad radiators it's way more than enough for the systems that we have in there we
52:39
actually had it running passively for hours today with three of the systems
52:44
idling and Ed's 12 core priming and we
52:47
you managed to raise it what like two degrees what on passive yeah passive
52:52
without the fans even running 100% it was 40 8° C idle was 30 yeah I mean but
53:01
um when you had it priming it went up to about 50° C Max
53:06
right it's about the same was it about the same okay maybe we didn't even
53:10
manage to increase the temps but I'm thinking in the winter we may not have
53:14
to disconnect from the whole room system what we might do is just turn off all
53:19
the fans and then if we have enough or or turn on only a few of the fans so
53:25
what I'm thinking is as like a phase two if Luke and I
53:29
could find a way to have a temperature
53:32
controlled um switch for each Bank of fans so as
53:39
water temperature reaches X degre
53:43
another bank of fans turns on and as it reaches X degrees another bank turns on
53:47
and then they turn off to prevent the entire water cooling system from getting
53:52
so cold that we have condensation problems so that that could be like a
53:57
phase two where it actually intelligently maintains its temperature
54:01
at a specific setting can you set uh fan
54:05
curve without without a PC connected to it we yeah there would be a way actually
54:11
yes a t balancer can be configured with
54:17
extra mini controllers and those will run oh I geta
54:23
you you program them so you don't actually have to have the software
54:27
interacting with it that could even work
54:32
stupid it's it's so stupid it might just
54:35
be brilliant this is getting stupider and stupider I love
54:38
it oo I'm excited oh we had someone in
54:42
the twitch chat figure out the tea balancer thing before I said it so we got to give them a shout out for that
54:46
who is it who is it where are you I can't find it because I don't have that
54:50
stupid plugin installed in my browser so I can't scroll up anyway good job um you
54:55
know what we should probably do our spa spots before we completely run out of
54:58
time today so first up is 54 Club so
55:02
guys to be clear the 54 Club offer has
55:06
actually changed a little bit so now
55:10
instead of saving $15 on your first package they are actually going to send
55:16
you all the clothing that you ordered and they're just going to put cash money
55:20
in the Box for you $10 cash bo like actually cash like dollar bills or
55:26
whatever ever that is that is it so
55:29
rather than like an online discount
55:33
they're offering $10 cash back in the packaging that doesn't make any sense
55:37
like okay sure why not so guys the whole
55:41
thing with 54 Club is that it takes the effort out of shopping so I'm just going
55:46
to pull up their site so I can show you guys how the whole thing
55:50
works here we go line is to screen share
55:53
actually I should probably move that there we go shopping sucks let us take
55:57
care of making you look good now edel you enjoy shopping correct I love
56:02
shopping lonus you know me so well I thought you do like shopping you like
56:07
wearing nice clothes yeah I
56:11
guess okay so even even the ones who
56:14
like wearing nice clothes apparently I really I thought you enjoyed shopping
56:18
for clothes you wanted to go shopping in Vegas when we were there the first year
56:22
yeah but there's not there wasn't much else to do like outside outside of the
56:26
park fres just like what is in Vegas
56:29
besides gambling I hate gambling so the way 54 Club works is
56:34
every month they send you a package of clothes so you can look and feel great
56:39
you take a quick survey it takes literally less than a minute Luke and I
56:43
both actually timed it see I'm actually you know what that's what we're going to
56:47
do today we are going to do the survey in fact check this out they even put a
56:51
timer in the corner so that you can you can realize as you finish that you uh
56:58
took less than a minute to do it so what should we go
57:01
for okay I'm going to have you do the survey Ed do business casual here hold
57:05

58:34
60 seconds but the main point is on your first time you get $10 cash back so sign
58:41
up at bit.ly Linus FFC and try it out we
58:45
actually had uh a 54 Club sponsorship spot that we did a while back that um
58:51
was a total disaster I got all of the
58:54
the pricing wrong got the offer for their July thing totally wrong but you
59:00
know what's hilarious is they actually reached out to us and said a whole bunch
59:04
of our viewers signed up so in the next couple minutes I'd like to hear from any
59:10
of you who signed up for 54 Club go ahead and tweet with # Linus
59:16
54 not because I'm 5'4 inches tall I'm
59:20
much taller than that what's the offer code um someone asked sorry someone
59:24
asked what the offer code was uh offer
59:28
code is lonus I believe 54 Linus let me
59:31
just double check I really love uh the
59:34
54 system just because
59:37
like I don't have time to go shopping
59:40
like during the weekdays just because I leave here at 6 no
59:45
5:30 oh apparently we've used hash Linus 54 before all righty
59:51
then um okay 54
59:58
for those of you just tuning in uh Luke
60:02
is off at packs I'm
60:05
edel edel Yago on Twitter I guess me
60:10
doing that doesn't really do anything does it I don't think so
60:13
yeah follow
60:17
me that I'm posting the link guys just make sure you use the link and I believe
60:22
offer code is lonus so give that a try
60:25
all right and then so yeah if I'm going to see if anyone has actually tweeted
60:29
with the hashtag hashtag I want to hear what you
60:33
guys think of it Linus
60:36
54 I did caps lock so 22 seconds ago all
60:42
you did was use the hashtag you didn't actually tell me what you think of it
60:46
okay so maybe we'll come back to this later but in the meantime Twitter is
60:50
hard our I know Twitter is so difficult our second sponsor this week is hyper X
60:55
memor so they are actually our gold sponsor for our P Prime coverage Luke
61:00
and Brandon are down there at the show
61:03
and hopefully having a ton of fun bringing you guys a ton of great coverage over the next um I guess it'll
61:09
be is Friday Saturday Saturday Sunday
61:12
Monday um all the packs Prime coverage should be landing so they're going to be
61:16
covering some game stuff they're going to be covering some of the hardware
61:19
stuff and you guys should definitely definitely get excited about that I
61:24
think Luke is going to be trying to get all of his work done in the
61:29
first uh I think what was he trying to
61:32
do trying to get all of his work done in the first two days and then try to spend
61:37
a bunch of time gaming so if you're going to be down in the byoc down at PA
61:41
Prime definitely go say hi to Luke and Brandon they're both going to be there
61:44
Nick's going to be there as well and Luke actually has my computer down there
61:51
so if you've ever wanted to see my personal rig in person and you're going
61:55
to be down at packs and you're going to be in the byoc that's basically going to
61:59
be the requirements he um didn't have time to fix up his Spotswood test bench
62:05
and he asked if uh if he could build up a rig from some of the parts around the
62:09
office and I was just like well I got a newborn I'm not gaming this weekend
62:14
so yeah I guess you can just take my rig
62:18
so I thought that was pretty darn cool all right so just someone did it in
62:24
14 seconds someone did what did the 54
62:28
thing in 14 seconds yeah I don't think they actually chose things right or they
62:33
might just be like I that's kind of fun
62:36
maybe for our next uh maybe for our next 54 integration thing we should actually
62:40
make that a contest let's see who can do the 54 survey in the least amount of
62:45
time um just so you know guys uh the pricing for 54 so per month is 60 bucks
62:51
they send you a sticker price of sorry what's up what's the 54 hash
62:56
oh oh sorry sorry sorry I'll post that
62:59
okay so # Linus 54 guys so hit us on
63:04
Twitter with that I want to hear what you think of the service now that you've
63:07
been using it so it's 60 bucks a month and then you get a total value of $100
63:13
worth of clothing and then the first month they're just going to send you $10
63:17
in the box so you get effectively a $10 discount on your first month oh and
63:22
something I should mention about um hyperx's sponsorship for PAX Prime is
63:27
they really wanted me to tell you guys yo check out their YouTube channel
63:31
because they've been doing a lot of really cool stuff on it lately so you
63:35
just go to youtube.com/ I think just
63:38
hyperx works now as well no it doesn't so youtube.com/ Kingston
63:45
hyperx and they've been doing a bunch of really cool stuff so aside from just
63:50
like yeah you know here's some really
63:53
great memory and headsets and USB drives and stuff you should probably you should
63:57
probably try it out they've also got a bunch of really cool content that's like
64:02
um bloggy style or skits or interviews
64:05
with pro orts athletes so um they're
64:08
doing a fantastic job of releasing a ton
64:12
of interesting content when you compare that to what other brand names tend to
64:16
do on their YouTube channels where it's like yet another place to put an ad um I
64:22
think their approach is really stands out from the crowd so I I like how uh
64:27
they've been doing a lot of a lot of videos or ads with actual Pro Gamers I
64:34
like they're they're not they're not
64:37
actors so so they're kind of terad I
64:41
wasn't sure if I could say that or not but that's fine it's genuine yeah it is
64:45
genuine and it does help the Esports scene so I I do really appreciate that
64:50
so I mean actually this is this is funny we uh check this out we we creeped them
64:55
on W show last week to have a look at how their YouTube channel is growing and
65:01
they had added let's look at their full monthly statistics they had added almost
65:05
half of their total subscriber count in the previous two weeks or rather month
65:10
and this time it looks like they've pretty much done it again they have
65:15
added 20,000 and they have a total of 44,000 subscribers so they're growing
65:19
extremely quickly so someone likes something that they're doing
65:27
this is this is funny I've got kgh HT 222 in the twitch chat saying that the
65:32
uh the $60 a month for 54 Club is an average of $2 a day for clothing I doubt
65:38
even Bill Gates spends $800 a year on clothing Bill Gates I don't think he
65:43
really on top of of that fashion thing
65:46
or I don't think he even cares I think Bill Gates probably spends more than
65:50
$800 a year on clothing I think he's he
65:54
might be one of those people who buys like really expensive uh polos that are
65:59
like bulletproof okay so I don't know I I wish I could meet
66:06
Bill Gates Bill Gates meet me please
66:09
yeah Bill Gates Bill if you're watching man you know we'd love to uh we'd love
66:14
to have you on the show
66:18
sometime people are really complaining about $60 a month for clothes like I no
66:24
offense to people but clothes are kind of expensive if you care about like keep
66:31
up well no you can look not homeless without spending all that much money but
66:37
to keep up with anything it's kind of a lot of work all
66:42
right so we are we are going to do it we are going to go unfiltered and have a
66:46
look at what you guys have to say about 54 this will either be a great endorsement for the service or if you
66:51
guys hate it then there'll be that um here we go
66:57
is better than anyone they sent me clothes in the box without the face of
67:01
Neptune got to love my socks all right
67:06
Timothy says they have great clothing Dana says like all things I
67:11
don't like the cost of shipping to Canada yes 54 is more expensive to ship
67:15
to Canada okay Jacob Ingram says I just
67:19
wanted to say you're pretty awesome edel I think you're skipping ahead Sam Palmer
67:23
says I wish it was available in Australia would love to use the system
67:27
ROM says love it thanks for recommending it and high
67:31
Linus Le suggests that lonus do the boiling water challenge thanks Lew I
67:37
jackass that's a thing um okay Amir says I really like
67:43
the system but sadly I'm only 14 and constantly changing sizes actually I
67:48
would see that as an advantage if you budget for it and you let cuz Okay the
67:53
way 54 works is they have like a style advis who you work with directly and who
67:58
handpicks your clothing every month so they actually have someone that you can
68:02
contact and be like yo dog I Chang sizes so just throwing that out there it's
68:07
interesting e0 says did it in 20
68:11
seconds all right Brien asks try to make
68:15
the service available in the UK short sweatpants and graphic T-shirts
68:20
they don't have my style I like shorts sweatpants and graphic t-shirts is that
68:24
a style I don't know that's sweatpants and graphic t-shirts are a style I think
68:28
that might be your issue Sam says the guy who wears socks and
68:34
sandwi I don't wear sweatpants have you ever seen me wear
68:38
sweatpants I want to say you have but I
68:42
think I did once I was really sick all
68:45
right oh sometime well sometimes you walk around in pajamas I think not here
68:50
recent oh at home yes I've actually done videos in my pajamas uh Jack says love
68:55
the surface Brett says come to Australia okay I think we've given 54 enough
68:59
screen time at this point they should be pretty they should be pretty happy cuz
69:02
we've like blabbed about them forever um
69:05
see this is the problem we always start talking about like the sponsor value ad
69:10
and then it's like this is a good discussion
69:13
topic clothes are overrated all right I'm letting you deal with this one it
69:17
was originally posted by Mushi on the Forum and the original article is from
69:21
computer andv video games.com but um Nintendo says goodbye
69:26
to casual gamers what exactly here I'm
69:30
just going to bring up the article before I hand you the laptop that's what it looks like what exactly do they mean
69:35
by that well who that didn't
69:39
work oh which didn't work the the article
69:44
thing up oh no no that's okay the article's gone well
69:48
apparently uh because smartphones and
69:51
apple in particular is taking
69:56
over the uh casual gaming Market they
69:59
don't really see a need to
70:03
to okay noad to uh keep to keep making
70:07
games for the Casual gaming Market which makes sense because you'd be competing
70:12
with people who don't really want to play games anyway unless it's convenient
70:18
so I like the direction they're going with this I don't like it at all why not
70:23
you look at one of their most SU successful products in the last 10 years
70:28
the DS the DS was all about the Casual
70:31
experience for me I played more bomber man on my DS than anything
70:36
else but you've also played games like
70:40
uh what is it Bravely Default yes how
70:43
did you like that bra default was good until it completely crapped the bed
70:49
okay but okay let's ask the chat how many of
70:53
you guys are or like casual
70:57
games on nintend okay here do you guys think Nintendo still has a contribution
71:03
to make to Casual games or should they
71:07
focus on the stuff that looks casual in terms of the art style like Mario Kart
71:11
and smash BRS but is actually extremely hardcore in terms of the game balancing
71:16
and the game playay so there why don't we do straw pull here do you want to
71:20
fire up do you know how straw pull works yeah yeah make up make up a straw pull I
71:23
want to I want to hear from you guys does Nintendo still have a contribution
71:26
to make or do you just want them to focus on what I mean really they're very
71:31
good at you know Zelda I would make the argument that in spite of how cartoony
71:36
something like okarina of time might have looked is definitely a gamer title
71:40
not a casual title
71:44
okay um go ahead and post that you just
71:47
have to kind of spam it a little bit and do the permissive vote yeah there you go
71:58
I'm totally I have I have one more straw poll in mind before the end of the show
72:02
that I'm totally going to Blindside you
72:05
with it's going to be fun all right spam
72:08
spam spam what people say okarina is cartoony uh yeah come on little
72:17
fairy where did I put that H disappeared
72:20
yeah the twitch chat just moves really fast I mean my straw tab
72:25
there we go boom JJJ says lonus do you
72:29
see this no all right let's go ahead and screen
72:33
share here so you mentioned Mario and Super Smash Brothers yeah I love Super
72:39
Mario Kart I play it with the ncx guys like every week and then like we go to
72:44
Chris's and then play it some more uh
72:47
that's definitely not a casual game just cuz I know it's freaking
72:52
hard and it's great love it I I probably
72:56
spend more play more time playing Super Mario Kart than Mario Mario Kart yeah
73:03
sorry that's what I started with the Super Mario Kart on
73:08
SNES I on consoles I've played that more
73:13
than any other game on a console really yes that much yeah so would you say that
73:19
okay so because the the wi's whole value ad was supposed to be we fit and wi
73:25
Sports terrible flinging the wi mode around okay so that that was the we so
73:29
so if Nintendo's direction is okay Wii U
73:33
we're going to go back to 1080p 60 FPS
73:37
and hardcore titles could you be sold a
73:41
Wii U if they made more hardcore titles yeah
73:46
if they did more Mario Kart class titles
73:51
on the Wii U would you consider buying one if no one else in my like group of
73:57
friends had a wiu then yes like honestly
74:02
for Mario Kart I would just buy a Wii U just for Mario Kart it's a really good
74:07
party game okay so that's so that's it that's
74:12
the issue then because okay from so from a business is kind of an issue because
74:16
from a business standpoint if the objective is to sell more copies of the
74:20
game and more consoles are they going to be doing themselves any favors by
74:25
eliminating casual games in favor of I
74:29
mean arguably the two examples that we came up with of great Nintendo hardcore
74:35
titles party
74:39
games
74:43
well so are you're asking whether or not
74:46
it's better for Nintendo to make party
74:49
games and sell fewer consoles than
74:52
casual games and sell more like yeah but
74:56
do you have any stats for that no no I don't no I don't I'm just saying that it
75:00
feels like a problem that the titles that you and I are discussing that could
75:04
sell the console to us are titles that
75:07
really only one person within a group of friends really needs to own unless
75:11
you're going to be unless you're going to be one of those people like Luke who sits and practices Mario Kart so that
75:16
when everyone comes and plays with him he just wrecks everybody those people
75:20
are bad people by the way people who practice party games no I think bad
75:25
people Anthony and Chris probably Jack
75:29
Me Maybe too probably better than uh Luke at uh Mario Kart really yeah even
75:37
though you didn't know the name of the game Mario Cart doesn't matter if
75:42
there's super on there or an eight on the end same thing same thing okay and
75:46
actually uh Chris's girlfriend amazing at Super Nintendo's uh Mario Kart really
75:51
yeah ridiculous all right all right well you
75:55
know what we will have to do we will have to do some game streaming sometime
75:59
uh sometime maybe we'll go over to Luke's house or something or um yeah we
76:03
could yeah we'll play some to bring all no we'll play some Mario Kart I have a
76:07
land PC no no Mario Kart oh marioart
76:10
you'll have to show us your you'll have to show us your skills we we'll have to see how that goes you know what's funny
76:15
though is we could actually do PC game
76:18
streaming from the office now everybody's work machine is now
76:24
legit a legit gaming rig I need to SLI
76:29
that oh yeah we never put an SLI bridge in your machine well in theory you
76:33
wouldn't need it whatever I
76:38
need have you played Battlefield have I played Battlefield 4
76:43
yeah not really I played a little bit of the single player and got Bor can I borrow those the Titans you want to
76:48
borrow the Titans how are you going to get them out of the machine scissors yeah that's what I
76:52
thought no absolutely not so ised the
76:57
first time uh last week with uh S Dual
77:00
770s Battlefield is running all right
77:03
but I am using a 2-year-old 8150 that
77:08
lonus gave me for free when I started interning for him at NCI ex Tech tip
77:13
that was like two years ago yeah it was wow yeah and apparently the 8150 is
77:18
bottled necking my two Sly cards yeah
77:21
that 8150 was uh that was like that was
77:25
like the uh the the the [ __ ] chip even
77:29
then and you gave it to me for for my hard work yeah thanks lonus hey you got
77:35
RAM and a motherboard and I'm pretty
77:39
sure a GPU at some point so yeah it
77:42
wasn't all it wasn't all terrible all right so Razer cortex their
77:48
Deal's video game tracker is now in this
77:52
is in Early Access right now correct yep all right so basically bye David bye
77:57
David so basically one of the best things about being a PC Gamer you know
78:02
just ask PC Gamers there is no
78:06
$59.99 I mean there is for like two days
78:10
or if it's South Park Stick of Truth man that hurt I didn't buy that till like
78:14
months after release and it was still $59.99 anyway there's no such thing as
78:19
sticker price there's always a deal so
78:22
Razer has their new cortex game Deal
78:26
tracker it scours the internet tirelessly to let you know of price drop
78:31
sweet deals and exciting promotions on your favorite game so you'll never miss
78:34
out on another bargain so you can sign
78:38
up for Early Access and check it out it's in beta and currently comparing
78:41
prices exclusively in the US region and other regions will come after launch but
78:46
that is something that you guys are definitely going to want to check out have you have you signed up no I haven't
78:51
really are you going to I have so many things running already
78:55
ready and I like I like steam uh that's
78:59
what I thought about it I thought you know looking at all these features it
79:04
looks like Steam and GeForce experience it has like
79:09
a the game optimizing tool yeah and it like defrags your system which I already
79:15
do it like prioritize prioritizes uh
79:20
things so would you even fire it up to
79:23
see if there was a deal before you bought a game on Steam or would you just blindly buy it on Steam because you find
79:28
the steam experience so much better well like depends on how it works is it going
79:33
to send me to any number of dozen sites
79:37
like I don't want to make a new account for for a site every time a deal comes
79:42
up and it's like on a different site like one reason I buy games off steam is
79:48
that it's on Steam yeah you know there's my steam wallet it's just right there or
79:54
EA origin store Ubisoft store I don't buy anything on
79:57
there uh you know it's like it's right
80:00
there it's convenient whereas Razer doesn't have their store like what how
80:04
are they going to do this I'm really interested to try it out I'm going to
80:08
install it I'm going to try it out and then I'll I'll see how it goes from there maybe it'll be a disaster but I
80:13
mean Razer has shown that they're pretty serious about building software that
80:17
makes gaming better I mean comms is a
80:21
great example of that they saw a gap and they're like okay we're going to build
80:25
something that legitimately addresses the need that people have so I'm
80:29
interested to check this out funny that you should mention comms Dolby axen uh
80:34
wasn't working like several times last week uh the crew and I use Dolby axen
80:40
yep so we actually used the Razer comms it's I think it has more features than I
80:46
remember and it's kind of nice now yeah
80:49
got to say yep they've improved a lot it's not bad um okay we've got a couple
80:54
more more topics Before We Say Goodbye because it's quarter after 6 already
80:57
here uh Microsoft claims they are starting to crack down on fake apps in
81:01
the Windows store this was originally posted by Sherman taker on the Forum and
81:06
the article's from The Verge and basically Microsoft says they reached
81:10
out to devs and told them that they have
81:13
to make their Dev their their apps compliant with their new guidelines
81:18
which or that it can't have an icon that's too close to something that is
81:22
not representative of what it is um I think there were a couple of other
81:27
things but basically there have been
81:30
devs that are just like swift key for
81:33
example if you go to the swift key you know what not the swift key devs I'm
81:38
going to yeah not the swift key devs but if you search for swift key in the
81:41
Windows store I'm going to try it now I've screenshotted it from before but
81:45
let's let's do a live test of whether a scam app that I
81:50
found um swift key keyboard has eight
81:53
ratings for one star that is a $4 app
81:57
the award-winning app for Android that replaces your onscreen keyboard giving
82:01
you the fastest and easiest way to type now in Windows phone uh let's have a look at the
82:06
reviews eight ratings where are the reviews here we go scam artist do not
82:11
purchase this this is fake very unhappy fake app for $4 this is fake this app
82:15
does nothing so apparently they've removed
82:20
1500 apps based on how many scam apps I
82:24
found over the last little bit um yeah
82:27
that's probably not enough uh developers who refuse to comply with Microsoft's
82:32
new guidelines are getting them removed but I think they've still got a lot more
82:36
work to do but they're taking steps forward so that's good they're
82:41
acknowledging the problem that's all I'm giving them credit for at this point
82:45
well they they're also dealing with it sort of I mean the one that the one I
82:51
tested is still there so we'll see um
82:56
originally posted by deliv on the Forum the original article here that he's
83:00
referring to is from Hardware 360 and allegedly Microsoft will offer the
83:06
Windows 9 upgrade either free or for
83:10
$20 so Microsoft will also have an
83:13
awesome offer for Windows XP users to be clear that price is for Windows 8.1
83:19
users another tidbit is that the Enterprise Windows 9 is rumored to be
83:24
completely metr free so Metro is the
83:28
modern UI you know this one yay I can
83:32
scroll back and forth except I don't want to do that okay um so cheap Windows
83:38
upgrade offers aren't unprecedented they have done this kind of thing before the
83:42
Windows store not the Windows phone store maybe uh I believe they are
83:47
actually integrating them uh moving
83:50
forward so I'm not sure I think there's some stuff that's in both or whatever
83:54
the case may be either way they have to address both of them they need to acknowledge the problem everywhere uh
83:59
you guys should put sponsors below the stream actually that's not a bad idea we
84:04
probably should do that at some point all right well I think that pretty much
84:08
wraps it up for the show today although I have one more straw poll for you guys
84:12
before we go I'm just going to create it
84:16
I'm going to put poor edel on the spot what did you think of
84:21
edel's guest co-host
84:25
spot all right let's come up with some options here I think it got better towards the end 10 out of 10 amazing
84:31
would uh would love to have him again okay
84:37
let's go with five out of 10 uh got better towards the
84:43
end and one out of 10 very why you doing it out of 10 if
84:49
there's if there are only three options and zero out of 10
84:55
L okay well so basically basically I'm
84:58
setting you up for I'm setting you up for failure here and I'm also saving you
85:03
from potentially their devastating negative feedback because you know
85:06
they're going to go with zero out of 10 just for the lws I've gotten used to
85:10
negative feedback yeah we all
85:16
have do you really just Spam it like that yeah that way everyone sees it
85:21
edzel is too autistic Ed is too autistic wow wow speaking of getting used to all
85:26
the negative feedback autism actually isn't a thing anymore apparently it's
85:30
been just brought back into the uh oh no
85:33
I'm thinking Asbergers you're thinking asers yeah as autism is definitely a
85:37
thing yeah that's definitely a thing I think Asbergers has been brought back
85:40
under the autism umbrella yeah lus
85:43
screen share 10 out of 10 amazing would love to have him again has half of the
85:48
votes with 21% of the votes being five out of 10 got better towards the end oh
85:54
there's a fair bit of zero out of 10
85:58
LW and 9% say one out of 10 very
86:01
unfortunate that Luke isn't here so it actually looks like the reaction to uh
86:06
to your co-hosting job today has been pretty darn positive so good job uh

88:34
look like on the wall so check this out you guys it's freaking
88:39

88:42
sneak preview of what the whole room water cooling setup looks like so
88:49
far if my uh if my stupid
88:54
Dropbox would automatically upload okay
88:57
or we could just go to edel's Twitter uh or we could go to edel's
89:01
Twitter do you have a shot of the deal and the uh and the piping and the
89:05
systems in from just now I have like a bunch of features uh okay you try to do
89:10
that while I try to do this and whoever does it first is a
89:16
winner
89:19
okay um so I'm like mailing to myself
89:25
because Apple's I took the picture on my iPhone Apple's thing is like ah boom
89:30

89:41
better no I'm opening my picture okay I'll show this one first okay so there
89:47
we go uh do you want to just get rid of
89:51
us okay so that's a panorama shot of the office
89:54
um basically you can see this is edel's workstation Brandon's workstation here's
90:00
the copper piping coming down for each of the systems this one's going to be
90:04
for um the potential new employee who I'm going to hear back from this weekend
90:09
this is for taran's workstation this is an extra this is for my workstation and
90:13
here are the vinyl decal on the wall and then here I'm just going to switch back
90:18
to this so that I can go into my email
90:21
without oh I just heard from Chris from NC NC challenges lonus Tech tips to
90:27
Mario Kart they watching I guess we should have known that was
90:31
coming can I be on their team
90:35
no what do you think this is you're going to abandon us in our hour of need
90:40
they're better
90:43
wow wow it's not it this is about family
90:48
this is not well okay if we want to talk about family I do game with them pretty
90:54
much every night uhhuh with uh voice chant all
90:59
versus just working over
91:02
here yeah so someone says I should fire
91:05
edel actually no one said that that was just what I was
91:11
thinking oh I can't even believe you anyway so this is uh this is a not
91:15
panorama shot which I personally find a little bit easier to digest cuz I'm old
91:19
of uh this is teran's water cooled
91:23
system right here oh you took that like recently this is the extra uh here's my
91:28
machine over in the corner running off of this one and then we've got bro fist
91:32
and when stealth sort of centered look
91:35
at much extra space whatever uh sort of centered on the wall in there so yeah
91:41
love it those pipes look sketchy what
91:44
looks sketchy about them oh maybe that's stuff oh that's just a that's a label
91:49
yeah it's no big deal these are copper pipes that were soldered by Luke's dads
91:53
so need to be painted needs to be
91:57
painted I don't want to paint them I like the copper Co yeah we have um like
92:02
can we polish it somehow yes okay uh Luke's dad gave us this um this stuff
92:07
that we can use to polish it quite quickly and then we're planning to paint
92:12
uh a varnish layer over the top so that they really shine I'm uh I'm super
92:16
stoked going to look awesome all right guys thanks for watching peace out see
92:20
