loud and we are live welcome to the live
0:04
stream guys we made
0:07
it here in our new studio space and we
0:13
have a new setup and of course that combines extremely well with
0:19
um what do you want nothing okay uh so
0:24
we're here in our new in our new studio with our new setup which includes sort
0:28
of running our third scene off of my laptop which apparently
0:35
this is stuck on something no I'll just pull on it that
0:39
can only end well that's not going to
0:42
doubt force it that's not going to end well wait a second it could end well no
0:46
it won yes it w see it ended well
0:49
because I I pulled on it which caused a problem for you and your sense of the
0:54
way things should work which meant you rushed over there and fixed it for me
0:58
that ended well pulling on cables is like so let's see if this is still
1:02
working hey hey that's still working too not a very good Tech tip Yank on the
1:06
cable Yank on the cables as long as there's someone nearby who cares about
1:11
that cable and will protect it from you that's my
1:15
kinu so I kind of oh oh and I was going
1:19
to break the mouse too excellent really this is yours yeah
1:26
oh cool all right so let's go ahead head
1:30
and I'm going to crack open the twitch chat also I think we've got a fair bit
1:35
to talk about this week because you were not here last week why don't you update
1:40
the audience on where you are even though I actually think I told them
1:43
probably about half a dozen times during the stream last week cuz people kept joining and then they kept asking so
1:47
carry on he said where I am so technically I'm in the new studio but
1:51
where I was was Korea and I didn't
1:54
actually land when the stream started I landed like a while after the stream
1:58
ended right yeah why did we think you were going to be on time for the stream
2:02
cuz we had your flight details like two three weeks before we left yeah I don't
2:08
know what happened I I don't know why we thought that possible hours late like
2:14
hours and hours late like I I didn't get home until well we went and had dinner
2:18
afterwards but I didn't get home if I minus the time of dinner I didn't get
2:21
home until like 10: which is hours after
2:25
the stream when did we well that would have been okay to join me during the old
2:30
is that what we were thinking that might have been it cuz technically we were still in the old stream time when we
2:34
first started doing the trip details that might be it but then we didn't
2:38
factor in okay so tell tell us about your trip to you've told me nothing about your trip to Korea what happened
2:42
that first night the first uh I don't know how much I
2:48
should have you heard anything about the first night no I know nothing huh how
2:53
into details I know you were I know you were stuck in Korea that's all I know
2:58
okay I'll go through the play byplay I don't know if I anyways I'll just do it
3:01
whatever um so I land my I have three
3:05
phones on me right now because I had the Note One blackberry and my S3 and I have
3:11
my laptop right right laptop's dead Blackberry is dead not's dead S3 has 13%
3:17
oh okay laptop's not dead laptop had about 15% S3 had about 10 15% okay so
3:23
everything's pretty much dead but my assumption was a ton of people in Taipei
3:27
could speak English oh yeah a ton of people you could get around fairly easily right yeah but there was a
3:32
convention in town but there was a convention in town but a lot of the people that just worked in the stores or
3:36
whatever could like at least point you in the right direction yeah however if
3:39
you're like t-shirt extra extra extra large they
3:43
could kind of handle it they could get you to where you need to go food water
3:46
hotel whatever kind of work no not in
3:50
Korea not in Korea the airport was good
3:53
and when I first land in the airport I was like all right I'm good this is good
3:56
by the way when I first land in the airport someone ran up to me cuz I'm wearing it's really bright in the area
4:01
cuz there's lights everywhere in white floors and I just got off a pitch black
4:04
plane cuz Ione have their Windows close so I had my aviators on cuz my eyes were
4:07
still readjusting so I have my aviators on I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt and
4:12
this dude runs up to me he's like military military military and he looks really angry and I'm like what the heck
4:17
and I kind of thought about it and we had talked about this previously all the
4:21
American GIS that are in oh some of that
4:25
is being happily accepted some of that is not being happily accepted so I
4:29
didn't know what this guy's position was but he was yelling military at me and looked really pissed off so I flashed my
4:34
Canadian passport and was like no no no no no no no no Canada has no military
4:40
it's okay we have some robots we make it by um I heard we had a submarine at one
4:45
point really like one why I don't know
4:49
anyway car no we bought it used from the British or something like that seems
4:52
like a terrible idea I know right man dumb anyways so a flash my
4:59
password whatever get it across that I'm not military he says okay and actually
5:03
was nice and end up escorting me to the like Express train into Soul so I get
5:09
onto the express train into Soul everything seems fine I ran into an
5:13
actually American GI there so I wasn't surprised that he was asking if I was
5:17
one um and I get to Soul station which
5:20
is like Soul Central Station it's this huge hub for Transit tons of trains and
5:25
everything all there um but then right when I get to Soul Central station no
5:30
one speaks English right I try to go get on one of
5:34
the trains and there's no like coin slot or Bill slot or anything so I have no
5:38
idea what's going on I see some people with these like cards that they're
5:42
hitting against the thing and it beeps so like I'm like okay like people have
5:45
NFC cards how do I get one of these like I have no idea what I'm doing I start
5:49
asking around I don't know what the currency rate is and I go to the ATM and
5:52
go to pull out money and the minimum pull out is like $50,000 right okay
5:56
right and I'm like whoa hope hopefully the conversion is
6:01
pretty uh pretty scaled out there because I have no idea how I'm pulling
6:05
how much I'm pulling out of the ATM um and my phone's dead and there's not very
6:09
much free Wi-Fi huh in Soul Central Station there was no free Wi-Fi right
6:14
okay which is nuts there's a McDonald's there there's a whole bunch of stuff
6:17
there that I would expect from being in Canada that there would be free Wi-Fi
6:21
there so I'm thinking okay I might be
6:24
getting through one of these Wi-Fi portals I might be able to get Wi-Fi
6:28
access because some of them I'm cing random Korean buttons hoping that it
6:31
works and like I think I might be getting through one but my phone's
6:34
starting to die because I've been doing this for a while I've been at Soul Central Station for a little while now
6:38
okay so I go to McDonald's hoping that they have Wi-Fi they don't but either
6:42
way I stash all my stuff I load up my laptop put it into sleep and close it so
6:46
that I can drain the battery from my laptop into my phone because at this point in time I'm like my phone's more
6:51
important and there's no plugs that I can use slick power management tips
6:55
right there drain your laptop into your phone yeah there's no there's no power
6:59
plugs like can use right okay cuz I have a like North American PL and you don't
7:02
have a travel adapter don't have a travel adapter because diesel does right
7:07
when you he was supposed to be going before you but it ended up that I was
7:10
going before him so I could catch WCS
7:14
Starcraft so sit down in this McDonald's trying to drain my laptop trying to
7:18
listen to people around me and catch keywords to see if I can like quick
7:22
translate anything on the fly like I'm trying to document everything I can
7:25
right yeah I start just writing down random names of the things at McDonald's
7:29
that I know would be like translations of
7:32
hamburger like so I can like ask for food and stuff like I'm trying to I'm
7:35
like I'm screwed I need to get whatever information I can because I'm
7:40
screwed and Brilliant me when I was in
7:43
the airport someone asked if I wanted a rental phone but it was $9,000 or 9,000
7:47
w a day okay so it seemed way too expensive I didn't know the currency
7:51
conversion so I didn't get it so I didn't have a rental phone yet
7:57
awesome and I knew there was other stuff could do and I assumed free Wi-Fi
8:00
everywhere and if free Wi-Fi was everywhere I knew I'd be able to make it buy right so I wasn't worried I could
8:05
WhatsApp diesel I could do whatever I could communicate I really assumed free
8:08
Wi-Fi everywhere because I'm in Korea right apparently that's not a thing um
8:13
so I don't have a rental phone all that kind of stuff while I'm sitting there um
8:16
this one chick looks at me and she's like hey are you new here in perfect
8:20
English and I'm like yes you can save me
8:25
this is so good um so I start talking to them for a little bit and then they're
8:30
like let's go get food so I'm like okay there's two of them yay we can go get
8:34
food so before I leave I get them to go to the ATM with me and help me figure
8:38
out what the currency conversion is ends up being super easy right um 200,000 is
8:43
basically 200 bucks okay there's a scale off like it's probably plus or minus 20
8:48
bucks or something but it's close enough that it's like okay somewhere around
8:51
there right so I pull out some money we go for food they teach me some of the
8:56
customs with like eating food and going to restaurants and how to like deal with
9:00
people and stuff taugh me a few words that could help me get by um like if
9:03
you're trying to hail someone down how to do it if it's a guy how to do it if it's a girl okay um hello sure just like
9:11
random little things like that like I learned some really basic stuff um and
9:15
they helped me out and then like we're going around cruising around checking
9:19
out different shops and different restaurants and stuff and I'm like hey I need to get like a hotel cuz I need to
9:25
sleep before WCS tomorrow cuz at this point I still want to go to the
9:28
Starcraft event right I haven't had that's a high priority oh it is it's
9:31
definitely a high priority Starcraft um
9:35
I've had no time online yet since hitting Korea right so I have no idea
9:40
what's going on which explains why I didn't hear from you yeah okay or anyone
9:44
like my mom's freaking out yeah you know my mom oh I'm sure your mom was freaking
9:48
out not happy um so I'm cruising around
9:52
you know she Facebooked me
9:56
right did she really yes well in Korea
10:00
asking if you had any info saying that because I think by the time I had
10:04
reached her she had heard from you so something about the only reason I'm
10:08
still alive is that she's heard from you by now or something like
10:12
that I sounds about right okay um so I'm
10:17
like hey I need to get somewhere I figure out that I'm in like the bottom
10:20
of soul and where I wanted to end up was way up in the top of Soul okay at this
10:25
point in time transit's down sure um
10:29
like I don't know how to talk to taxis like it's not a good situation okay um
10:34
so the one chick is like you can just stay at our
10:40
dorms that's what my mom did it ended up
10:43
being fine uhuh so I crashed on the floor of the one chick's dorm room and
10:47
then um the one girl's boyfriend took me
10:51
to WCS in the morning okay and then that was great and then I got to see I went
10:56
to gome Studio which is like my two two of my favorite casters tasteless and
11:00
osis not9 who is my actual favorite Caster but two of my favorite casters um
11:05
got to see them do the semi-finals which was great um talked to them got them to
11:10
sign my Starcraft box which I gave to my brother that was the box with the
11:13
writing okay sure I I brought my Starcraft Heart of the Swarm box I got
11:17
both of them to sign it CU my brother's a caster and he loves casters right so I
11:21
got them to sign that I ended up giving that to my brother and then I talked to
11:24
them about where the finals actually were because they were casting it as a
11:28
spectator oh oh okay okay so they had a camera on them and a screen in their
11:32
desk that was the Starcraft I see okay and when they're casting most of the
11:36
time the Starcraft stream is on the screen so they got to just stare at it and talk about it while was going on
11:40
right but they weren't actually live at the event and the event was in Korea so
11:43
I got to see the semi-finals with them which was awesome but then I wanted to go to the big Arena event cuz I was like
11:48
okay I'm in Korea I got to go to a Starcraft event in an arena CU that's
11:52
awesome so the tasteless which is one of
11:56
the guys um who like I didn't have a marker from to sign my thing cuz I don't
12:00
know how to buy a marker in Korea cuz I like couldn't find a stationary store
12:04
because I'm like where the heck am I supposed to go um I mean I don't want to
12:08
generalize but based on all the Korean exchange students that have ever come to
12:12
my school when I was in like high school and all the stationary that they carry
12:15
with them there should it should bewhere think they have stores for that should be every we ended up I ended up finding
12:20
an insane school supply station yeah like they probably have like every color
12:24
of every penc but that was a few days down not that I'm generalizing it's just
12:28
I mean you can't help but make observations anyway go ahead that yeah I
12:32
I did find that place um NG also known
12:35
as by now Diesel and I call them proxy
12:38
but that's a whole another story proxy sure oh oh okay yeah that uh intern guy
12:44
yeah he ended up showing us one it was awesome but that was a few days down the line that's when after I had met up with
12:48
both of them this was when I was still on my own um so tasteless and I are like
12:53
pulling out tables and stuff trying to find like
12:56
sliding tables away from walls trying to open drawers to find try and find a
12:59
marker he was actually pretty awesome I ended up finding a marker so he signed
13:03
the box for my brother I talked to him for a little bit and then he walked me outside and pointed down a bridge I was
13:07
just like go down there you'll see Arenas and then it's the one in the back
13:11
so I'm like okay time to go I guess so I
13:16
just walk down the street get to the Arenas walk through like some security
13:19
gate just pretended that I was totally confident there was totally nothing
13:23
wrong with me walking through the security gate like tall white dude in
13:27
Korea is's not going to stand out at all this is obviously fine right like no big
13:31
deal I'm just walking through no big deal no one stopped me which is great okay so I walked through the security
13:35
gate there's three huge Arenas and two of them are super super loud and have
13:39
tons of cars out them and are just absolutely massive and I'm like I think
13:43
Starcraft is a little bit smaller than that those ended up both being huge
13:46
baseball games going on at the same time okay and then so I walk through go to
13:50
the one in the very back so Starcraft isn't quite baseball yet that's what
13:53
you're trying to say no not quite they're trying though go to the back um
13:58
admittance was it cost it was a 10 deposit that I got
14:02
back or 10,000 W um to get a like little
14:07
radio thing I wore headphones for that I could get tuned into to the English
14:11
casters right because there was the Korean casters which honestly after a
14:14
while I just took it out because it was kind of cool to listen to the crazy
14:17
Korean casters right they're nuts cuz I
14:21
can kind of see what's going on it's kind of like badminton where there's uh
14:25
some of the uh some of the coverage on the Canadian feed had commentation but
14:30
it was like terrible whereas I'd rather
14:34
i' honestly I'd rather listen to it in like Danish because at least the guys
14:39
know when to be excited and like like the like the guys who don't really know
14:43
the sport very well they'd get like super excited about some shot and I'm like I can make that shot whereas like
14:49
the actual guys who actually know how to play the game or knew how to play it at
14:52
some point they yeah anyway so yeah well
14:55
like okay those Starcraft CS were actually good the English ones so it's
14:58
not I understand that analogy and I agree but it didn't really CU not quite
15:02
like that then but it was just entertaining to listen to the Korean
15:05
guys live cuz they're so crazy right so it was it was just kind of cool um and
15:10
to like feel the vibe of the crowd because everyone was just way more amped
15:13
than I've ever seen cuz the only thing I've gone to around here is barcraft
15:17
which is where people go to a bar and then all the TVs have Starcraft on them
15:20
right um and that's interesting but no one's really Rowdy right everyone was
15:24
crazy in the arena so that was kind of cool um end up trying to leave there and
15:28
figure out how the heck I'm supposed to get back to that dorm right cuz that's
15:31
where my luggage is right so jump on the
15:36
train hope I'm going in the right direction get off at some random stop
15:40
figure it out ended up getting there it actually wasn't that bad cuz soul is
15:43
actually really easy to navigate around cuz the train system is like super
15:46
intricate but if you at least know what stop you're supposed to get off on it
15:50
can kind of lean you there okay it's not really that big of a deal got there
15:54
eventually hung out with them for a while okay now this is Sunday diesel
15:59
should be in town um I need to get up to
16:02
the hotel so I can meet up with him right um I go around the Subway or yeah
16:10
Subway really really quickly get up there try and get a cab to Rada where we
16:13
were staying took me to Grand Hyatt which is way across town and then I had
16:19
to try and get all the way back eventually made it that was ridiculous
16:22
and then the actual Korea trip started which was fairly not very eventful
16:26
except for a Changing of the Guard ceremony that Diesel and I participated
16:30
in which I'll try and get pictures for you we acted as commanders in The
16:33
Changing of the Guard ceremony it was
16:37
epic what I I was Googling up stuff to do in
16:42
Korea and they're like changing the guard ceremony they only do like one person a day it's like this big thing so
16:46
I was like let's do it so I talked to proxy and I was like can we do this so
16:50
he hooked it all up and we ended up going and put us in full costume with
16:54
like a real sword and a real bow and arrow and everything and then we like
16:57
marched out with everyone and had to go through this like cryptic process to make sure we're the same people and you
17:02
like put coins together and make sure they match and check for a key and do
17:05
all this stuff it's crazy and we were in front of all these people that were
17:08
watching and it was nuts W that's really cool it was pretty cool other than that
17:13
it was just like shopping all right so let's talk Xbox one so this is Xbox 180
17:21
Xbox yeah Xbox
17:24
180 so this is from IGN from a couple days ago you guys have probably heard
17:29
about this but what you haven't heard is any of Slick's take on the whole NextGen
17:33
console Xbox One Thing Beyond some of the early news that was coming out so
17:38
I'll run you through quickly through the details of this one so contrary to
17:42
everything Microsoft has set up till now they are completely turning around on
17:46
everything so it no longer requires an internet connection to play offline
17:50
games no longer needs to check in 24 hours a day now allows game discs to be
17:56
traded in much the same way that they used to so disc based games operate the
18:00
way they used to whereas uh games that
18:03
are based around downloads will operate according to your account from from what
18:08
I've seen in here uh what else we got here no uh no no restrictions on
18:14
trade-ins no region locked consoles honestly that was the one where I was
18:18
just like is this April fools you're going to launch a console in like 2122
18:23
countries whatever it was I mean that was ridiculous did you even see that one yeah yeah and it was like a whole bunch
18:28
of Asian countries it wasn't being released in are you crazy it's like oh
18:31
yeah no we don't need to release in China or India because China and India
18:35
don't play video what are you nuts anyway uh and I think Japan wasn't even
18:40
on the list there was a few ones that made me yeah that honestly like it
18:44
looked like they were joking at that point um in addition to being available
18:48
in retail stores Xbox One games will still be available to download on day one and will be playable on any Xbox One
18:53
console so that sounds like it's account based um so here this is the part that
18:58
is really most notable to me uh since unveiling our plans for Xbox
19:05
One my team and I have heard directly from many of you read your comments and
19:09
listen to your feedback I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you
19:12
for our assistance and helping us reshape the future of Xbox one you told
19:16
us how much you love the flexibility you have today with games delivered on dis the ability to lend share and resell
19:20
these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you also important is the freedom to play offline
19:25
for any length of time anywhere in the world
19:29
I'll let you go first basically what I think happened was they were second on
19:35
Amazon pre-order sales mm and they were like oh no how do we take that first
19:40
spot huh I'm not really sure what do
19:44
everyone like more about the other conso okay I guess we should maybe change a
19:48
few things so we can get that top dollar spot I think that's what happened cuz
19:52
that's the only thing okay the company's going to change something so they can make more money it's a company you're
19:58
supposed to try and make more money that's the whole idea of a company so
20:02
while I don't necessarily think the idea of making more money is evil or bad NOP
20:06
lus Media Group needs to make money we need to make more money throwing that out there and we will do things that
20:10
help us make more money yes um I think they I like to think we don't bone our
20:15
viewers over it yeah I was just going to say they went way too far like orders of
20:20
magnitude way too far and then reeled it
20:23
all the way back which was a good move I don't know if it's too little too late I
20:26
don't know if everyone's too angry already did you hear about the like Mass
20:30
returns of Xbox 360 stuff tra in stuff
20:33
people were trading in everything they had really here's my console here's all
20:38
my games at like stupid low tradein prices because everyone is doing it so
20:42
so now's a good time to get an Xbox 360 on the cheap probably I would assume I
20:47
don't really know if we wanted to play Xbox 3 you know I had a lot of people
20:50
criticizing me last week for talking consoles at all because I said outright
20:54
the last console game I bought was Mario Kart Wii and then the one before before
20:58
that was probably on this NES and people were like well if you don't buy it then
21:02
you don't have the right to talk about it and I was just kind of like
21:06
well okay you know duly noted but I
21:10
don't think playing Gears of War makes me more qualified to talk about an
21:16
Xbox I think it could help do you think it could help if I play GE of War could
21:20
help because then you're more in tuned you know like you're more in tuned with
21:25
the whole system mhm if you if not necessarily the act of purchasing a game
21:31
but if you actually play on the console you probably have more to say about it
21:34
okay that much is true you you would you probably already have a minimum amount
21:37
to say about it I don't think that's invalid because you don't play on it but
21:41
I think you could have more to say about it well they said they wanted to hear from you more because you are an actual
21:47
gamer so that's why that's why I'm kind of letting you go first here on this one
21:50
okay even though I it should be noted when was the last time you played a game
21:53
on an Xbox an Xbox M broke or an Xbox
21:56
360 mine broke yours how many times did yours break
22:01
four I think I have three on my shelf
22:05
that are all dead but I think one of them was exchanged for warranty so I
22:09
think I think it was four but I currently have three broken ones on a
22:12
shelf okay and you don't have a working one no and one of them like so so out of
22:17
the two of us I'm the only one with a working Xbox 360 but I played a lot I
22:22
played on Xbox 360 if so there you go guys that's why slick will do most of
22:25
our uh most of our console talk but my
22:28
brother and I took one of them had a dead optical drive the other one had a
22:31
dead motherboard so we zombied two of them together right we were riding on
22:35
that for a little while and then that one kind of died right like man okay so
22:41
here's my take whether you guys think I should be allowed to talk about it or not and I mean okay maybe I'm giving
22:46
them the benefit of the doubt much the same way we've done to EA before and as
22:51
much as it hurts me I mean I love Microsoft I love so many of the things
22:54
they do and as much as it hurts me to utter their name under in the same
22:57
breath as the it almost feels like what they've done
23:00
here is intentionally be as terrible as
23:04
they possibly can for all of the press
23:08
and all the talk and all the buzz so
23:11
that they can have as much impact as possible when they reverse all of it
23:16
because if they were really trying to get away with all this stuff did they
23:19
have to go trickle it out yeah did they have to go full stop no we're going to
23:25
go as people have said this is the Xbox 180 do we do we need to do a full
23:30
reversal of absolutely everything why
23:33
why couldn't they still do account-based games I actually don't understand why
23:37
you can't have an account-based game I and
23:41
like oh there's a lot to say on that okay there's a lot to say I mean why
23:45
can't it work something like steam though that's an account-based gaming
23:48
system yeah you sign in and then see I'm I'm going to keep
23:53
doing this look at he looks like he's going to explode so you sign in and then
23:58
once you've signed it so you boot up and sign in then it's validated for a while
24:03
I actually don't have a problem with that it's never bothered me I've never been offline long enough that it's
24:07
bothered me I've had my computer offline for insane amounts of Time how long is
24:12
the time frame for steam yeah it's I I think it's at least a week I or like 5
24:17
days or three days or something like it's multiple days I'd be surprised if it was that short it might veryy by it's
24:23
pretty freaking long so so if they' implemented something like
24:27
that and like another thing though with steam um with their new leaked code
24:32
thing oh yeah no no we talk about that later okay okay well that ties in so
24:37
well uh okay fine we'll talk about that now so okay okay okay so there's a few
24:42
lines of code that came out in a new beta patch yeah um which basically
24:46
stated in the lines of code shared game borrowed game lending game kind of
24:51
phrases two weeks someone says more than two weeks either way it's a long time
24:55
it's a long time yeah um which basically
24:59
means there's a high possibility that you are going to be able to lend share
25:04
borrow games through Steam so people would be able sool so cool so you would
25:08
be able to like I guess temporarily remove your ability to play it from your
25:13
library and allow your friend to play it which is the exact same thing as taking
25:17
a disc from your house giving it to your friend and not being able to play it for
25:20
a little while except your friend could live in like Sweden yeah ah so cool
25:24
which is awesome like that's really really cool again uh one of our mod just
25:28
said 90 days that sounds more right that sounds that sounds too much I've like I
25:34
was pretty sure it's really long cuz i' I've I've had it be really long before I
25:38
don't know if that's right or not anyway I mean I think the I think the the
25:41
protection from someone like valve is
25:44
well you don't let people log into your Steam account because then you're boned
25:47
yeah I mean and I don't mind that as far as protection goes I mean use twep
25:52
because they do use twostep when you log in from an unfamiliar I love their twep
25:56
and their twostep is great so if Microsoft were to implement it exactly
25:59
that way you would not lend your Xbox account to
26:02
someone like you just wouldn't so but
26:05
they should allow the sharing thing but they should allow the sharing thing so
26:09
anyway like do you think it's just that no press is bad press and it was like a
26:14
strategy I don't think so or is that just too insane I think it's too insane
26:18
is that any less insane than if they actually did that than if they actually
26:22
Prett close what's more insane they
26:25
developed all these systems I think they were going to try I think they didn't think it was going
26:29
to be that big of a deal how could they possibly think that because Xbox is
26:35
huge so is PlayStation yeah they have a
26:39
competitor but who don't worry about
26:43
it but at the same time a lot of people were expecting PlayStation to be at a
26:48
much higher price point and I wonder if Microsoft thought
26:52
the same price point like PlayStation's
26:55
cheaper and it's cheaper significant amount but a lot of like play uh
27:00
Playstation 3 came out at a huge price point yeah that's true so if Microsoft
27:04
was expecting a similar idea they shouldn't have everyone already knew
27:08
that both Microsoft and Sony were going to be using pretty much the same fraking
27:12
Hardware y except Sony doesn't have a
27:15
like Grand scale webcam that comes with it which people don't want which people
27:21
well I would probably use it a lot of people don't want okay many people don't
27:25
want but I think I think a lot of the mainstream folks who are not Reddit
27:29
junkies and yeah but it's not just Reddit junkies that are scared of the
27:32
constant surveillance that's true that's true but they've also come out and set a
27:36
few things about the constant surveillance I mean having it listening
27:40
for microphone commands is a little bit different from having it recording every
27:44
conversation and then but then all the same time all that stuff going on with prism and everything you don't really
27:48
know what's happening that's true and I'm like I don't want to get way into
27:52
that we're not saying Microsoft is in any way involved in prism just that
27:57
thing exists yeah and they're a company that has data and and and and whatever
28:03
um figure that out on your own I guess
28:06
um but yeah I'm not way too into
28:09
that yeah okay all right I don't know so
28:13
anyway yeah valve allowing lending of
28:16
games potentially at some point that's going to be super cool that's awesome
28:20
like okay now I don't think they're going to have the uh bring in a friend
28:24
thing that you used to be able to do basically with like Warcraft 3 and stuff
28:27
where if spawn install spawn install yeah I don't
28:31
think they're going to though because that would be way too I mean they'd have to that would be license that would be a
28:35
license thing that have to figure out on a game by game basis yeah that would be
28:39
awesome like okay nothing about this I just randomly brought this up that would
28:43
be cool though and maybe if you can do it with every person like twice maybe
28:46
right per Steam account like that would be pretty
28:50
cool sure that would be pretty cool just
28:54
so the person can try out the game cuz there's a lot of games I'll talk to my friends about and like you got to get
28:58
this game it's pretty cheap you should buy it it's amazing so if you could lend
29:02
someone I wonder if the lending will be like uh long-term lending or if they'll
29:07
only allow like short period lending I mean it's possible they just I mean you
29:10
look at sort of when valve announces or starts talking about something or you
29:14
catch something three years five years yeah they might still be working on
29:18
implementation they might have put it in there just to kind of use it internally
29:22
maybe they only maybe they created the tool just for
29:25
themselves you never know that would be pretty Li nightmare this all speculation
29:30
and I really hope it happens I don't know it's just a few
29:34
lines of code that a few people found in their new build right so it could mean
29:39
realistically anything okay so topic you
29:42
know what let's do a Twitter Q&A uh Twitter Q&A blitz so here we go guys hit
29:47
us on Twitter uh did you hear about the
29:50
new rumors for halflife 3 and I think he means wait what source 2 oh source 2
29:56
engine I heard it was half Half Life 3 and something else three Half Life 3 is
30:01
on Steam but not for sale someone just told me what anyway you heard about this
30:07
I I heard that there was there was a there was a rumor and hold
30:11
on holy no no no no no no no no no no no
30:14
that's a that's a prank look at the URL it's someone sent it to me too I was
30:18
like come on man a Stern poers d e a r n
30:22
m or something you can tell because the picture's all yeah no no no no ignore
30:26
that uh there was a rumor though that half lifee 3 will be coming at some point uh someone says New Star Citizen
30:31
video okay I'll check it out yeah uh are tablets worth it that totally depends on
30:36
your use Cas subjective go subjective so if well it's subjective yeah so go
30:41
what's your subjective okay if if like if you're someone who wants to hang out
30:45
on the couch watch TV a lot and be able to do emails and stuff while you're on the couch I think that's awesome if you
30:50
basically need a laptop I wouldn't suggest buying a tablet as a laptop
30:54
replacement I would actually just buy a laptop the only time I ever really use
30:57
my t just to watch videos on the bath so yeah that's it so honestly I see tablets
31:02
less as a super portable thing as or more as something to carry around the
31:05
house or as like instead of a notepad like sometimes I'll set up a tablet on a
31:09
stand so that I can refer to it during an unboxing definitely uh he lus at
31:13
computex did you see the refresher on the 600t I did not unfortunately uh my
31:17
friend brought a Mac bought a Mac Pro for $3,800 and uses it for only Facebook
31:22
uh he says Mac is better than PC how hard should I smack him there's no point
31:25
smacking him because negative reinforcement is not how they learn
31:29
positive reinforcement man did you sign the petition for Tom Clan's The Division
31:33
I did did you why because I want to play Tom Clancy's division on PC okay it's
31:38
it's the the the petition is to bring Tom Clancy's division to PC all right
31:42
and Ubisoft Ubisoft is pushing it they're like yeah yeah sign it sign it
31:46
so do you think Microsoft would do something like releasing a system that's around $400 Before Christmas it depends
31:52
how hard people don't buy the Xbox one that comes with connect saw a viio 14in
31:57
Ultra look on the background of your keyboard unboxing review soon yes also
32:01
we're going to be doing like a cool lifestyle type video that features that
32:05
particular notebook it isn't an Ultrabook though it's actually a 15in
32:09
and it's like a super slim touchscreen notebook with a quad core someone says
32:13
check this out with no link Half Life 3 on Steam not for sale
32:18
no it isn't uh will there be changes to the computex giveaways potentially but
32:22
no promises yet so stay tuned for that
32:25
uh will there be any hard drive cage add-ons for the card buide 540 possibly
32:29
to the back or have to mod it I believe I said in the video that you can add
32:33
more no maybe not I don't know so don't
32:37
don't quote me on that what do you think of having a code in dis based games that
32:41
lets it be account bound if you want you're on is that not how a lot of them
32:46
work I think dis based games are dis based games according to the article
32:49
that we had up for Xbox for Xbox okay I didn't realize that was I think I think
32:53
he's talking Xbox I snapped to like PC stuff right there um I don't know if you
32:59
if options are good in my opinion okay
33:02
if you want it to be account bound that would be cool if but having the option
33:05
to not apply that code would also be cool according to this post by Valve
33:08
employee offline mode is intended to be basically indefinite now very cool so
33:13
you guys can click on that one if you want to check that out awesome watching live in the UK determined to watch all
33:18
the way through thanks man hello you can buy games from Steam from
33:22
different retailers which means discounts you can only buy digital games for Xbox from Ms what games for steam
33:28
can you buy from different re yeah like if it comes with a steam code in a box
33:32
well no there's stuff like Humble Bundle yeah and there's other places that you
33:35
get steam codes for games I think that might be what he means I'm not really sure I mean I found it's uh a lot of the
33:41
time steam's cheaper anyway yeah to be honest they have insane sales speaking
33:46
of which summer sale has got to be coming fairly soon oh yeah summer sale
33:50
the first year they did summer sale I probably spent like a couple hundred
33:53
bucks on just a bunch of games that I've like never played never played yeah but
33:58
the problem is I'll do it again which is just oh I know right it's kind of
34:01
ridiculous and like I understand it doesn't make any sense cuz I still
34:05
haven't played a lot of games from the last summer sale I'm was like oh it's a
34:08
really good deal it's like 85% off uh my
34:11
360 has also been bodge where are you from what does bodge mean I hate it
34:17
maybe I should just get a new one I just want Halo that's it all right so why
34:22
don't we move on to our next topic which
34:25
happens to be actually I'm going to combine this topic with uh with another
34:29
one Microsoft offering schools and colleges 199 Surface RT tablets this
34:35
article is from Daily Tech so Windows RT
34:38
hasn't been the most popular Microsoft product Daily Tech writes Master of the
34:42
obvious there but hey for anyone who hasn't heard of Surface RT which I think
34:46
is a lot of people that might be a relevant thing to say Microsoft will
34:50
soon introduce the surface for Education limited time offer this month which will
34:54
offer discounted surface RTS to schools and colleges interested in adopting the
34:58
tablet for only $1.99 the Surface RT retails for $4.99 if schools want blah
35:03
blah blah etc etc expected further details and I wanted to tie this into
35:08
another article that is related also on
35:11
Daily Tech at the same time Apple scores $30 million iPad contract from the LA
35:16
School District launches Apple camp for
35:19
youngsters the LA Unified School District is paying
35:24
$678 per iPad which will come pre-loaded
35:27
with educ software but won't include a
35:30
keyboard they have a three-year warranty that includes free replacement devices
35:33
up to 5% of the value of the purchase price the 30 million for iPads is a
35:38
steep contract price but La District insisted on the measure because new
35:41
state and National tests will be taken on computers so people have to learn to
35:46
use computers etc etc that my friends is
35:50
all you need to know about Microsoft Windows
35:55
RT for onethird of the Price Less Than
35:59
onethird of the price and if they bought in that big of bulk they probably could
36:02
have got an even better deal oh man they still are not winning
36:08
bids I mean okay honestly that La School
36:11
District deal was probably in effect that was probably in in talks for a long
36:16
time and it's it's not necessarily an indication that La School District was
36:20
looking at Surface RT versus iPad and ended up going that route with in the
36:25
context of the 199 deal but it's just those two things coming out I think they
36:29
were posted on Daily Tech on almost the same day I was just kind of looking at
36:34
it going wow that's how dominant apple
36:38
is in the tablet space I mean Android has made up enormous ground on phones
36:43
Android is number one for phones now and that's fantastic and that's cool and as
36:47
someone who has recently switched to Android and is loving it I love that too
36:52
but on the tablet side what would you use if someone were to give you a
36:58
tablet but you know I wouldn't use a tablet it doesn't matter they they're
37:02
going to give it to you you don't have to use it but you have to have one you
37:06
can give it you can give it away you can sell it it doesn't matter like vendor trash pawn it to be honest I would never
37:11
use it it doesn't matter someone's giving it to you for free they refuse to
37:15
give you anything but a
37:18
tablet and remember your options are basically Windows 8 Windows RT and iOS
37:24
and Android if I could get the full Windows 81 okay no your options are
37:27
window Windows RT iOS and Android let's go with ARM operating systems if I could
37:31
get the full Windows 81 I get the full Windows 81 hand it's actually a terrible
37:34
experience really it really terrible because I haven't used it the problem is
37:38
that there's like I cannot make myself use modern UI even on a tablet I just
37:43
can't do it it's just not but you can
37:46
functional desktop applications yes you can but using Windows 8 in desktop mode
37:52
with a touchcreen is really not any better than using Windows
37:56
7 it's just not the buttons are still tiny the things like you can enlarge
38:01
stuff I know but it's like okay you haven't done it I know I'm telling you
38:06
you do it does weird stuff like when you click the like when you open up a
38:10
keyboard and this is weird because it was doing it on my tablet the other day when I was trying to use it for
38:14
something you open up the keyboard it takes your Windows and it like resizes
38:18
them and then you close the keyboard and they stay up there and I'm just like
38:21
really like really and I know it's meant
38:24
to be used in modern UI and I understand that but like really also I'd always
38:30
have the keyboard cover on anyway iPad hands down for me for tablet experience
38:35
there is no comparison whatsoever I don't really have enough experience I
38:39
would like to say Android but the one Android tablet that I've used and only
38:44
one that's the Transformer right the original Transformer was not a very good
38:48
use case and honestly that had the latest software at the time like it
38:51
wasn't like it was running like at time yes but this was a while ago but that
38:55
was Ice Cream Sandwich yeah I never liked ice cream sandwi sandwich though
38:58
yeah I mean it I I don't think the tablet experience has changed much since
39:02
Ice Cream Sandwich so and I mean yeah okay I'm sure there's feature here and
39:06
feature there but but like I don't like iPad either
39:10
okay I don't know I'm not a tablet guy
39:13
if I'm laying on the couch and I need to check my email I'm completely cool with
39:17
he's in my phone okay I don't see why I
39:21
need this like slightly bigger one I actually type faster on a phone than I
39:24
do on a tablet yeah me too that's for sure by a lot yeah so I don't know I'm
39:28
I'm really not into tablets all right tell us about your uh NASA which is
39:32
completely different from NSA we're not talking about that other thing so this
39:35
is kind of cool if you if you go to a link that's in this article uh maybe we
39:39
can tweet it out or something I'll try we could just click on it here they're
39:42
looking at it it's a billion pixel it's
39:46
a billion oh right okay you might not want to click on that might crash the
39:50
stream yeah so it's it's I haven't looked at it yet um but it's apparently
39:54
an awesome semi- Panorama or completely panorama pixel uh picture which is a
39:59
billion pixels and it's supposed to just look very very cool of Mars it was where
40:02
they were picking up some like dust and sand and rocks and stuff it's the C
40:07
Curiosity Rover and it's actually pretty freaking cool I like it when NASA sends
40:11
back like a bunch of really cool pictures and stuff I don't know for how
40:17
little funding they get they're quite
40:20
interactive oh NASA you used to be everyone's favorite child and now you're
40:26
just just don't get much funding yeah
40:30
all right why don't we do a Twitter Blitz everyone hit us on Twitter
40:35
actually what we'll probably end up doing is going through most of the Twitter questions we got last time I
40:39
love how we actually didn't set up a light in here so we're just relying on
40:43
the light coming in from that window over there which is actually darkening
40:48
as the stream goes on making it so that we're getting pretty dark here but H
40:53
there's uh that's fine all right how do you like your new BlackBerry
40:59
in two words three words or less the the conclusion video isn't out yet yeah
41:03
conclusion video is not out yet whatever just tell them uh I I will be you I
41:09
can't do returning to S3 okay there you go I
41:14
was thinking I'm not switching would have also worked okay but either way I
41:18
think we achieved the so do you know if this is real okay I'm not oh my goodness
41:23
how are people do you not do you not read URLs before you click on them let
41:27
me tell you in their defense the r going to the end does kind of look like an M
41:31
as a seasoned internet
41:35
user I look carefully at that URL before I click it okay tuning in from Croatia
41:43
sweet I I hate that so much because I have to click on the window in order to
41:47
use the mouse to scroll or the wheel to scroll but then it always expands people's tweets what is rant 30 I don't
41:52
know okay I recognize that Tablet Plus NES emulator isn't that a thing Logan
41:56
does uh rant 30 like inbox exe and the tech
42:00
are the only ones I know I think he does rant 30 does he do a new rant thing I
42:03
think so oh okay let me see you keep
42:06
going uh watching the Line Tech tips live stream yay while finishing up my
42:11
keyboard okay maybe changing out keyc
42:14
Caps or something like that changing out key caps cleaning something sure will
42:18
you purchase I still got to play a Starcraft game with you I recognize that Twitter will you purchase either of the
42:22
new consoles yeah Tech Syndicate rant 30 um
42:30
no no probably not or I'll wait until like the next iteration cuz there's
42:35
going to be like you know it's going to be like 10 years right yeah but it's
42:38
going to you're going to be like in your mid-30s by the time you can buy one of
42:42
these because the new one's out no I don't mean next Generation as in like
42:46
PlayStation 4 and Xbox whatever the heck they decide to
42:50
name it I mean like Xbox Elite
42:53
PlayStation slim like like the the new model cuz there's always the new like
42:57
the lower power one that comes all the features the original one should have so
43:02
I'm going to wait for like the the nicer models so you're waiting for service
43:06
pack one basically okay because then at the same time there will be more games
43:10
right okay cuz buying buying consoles at release and as far as I know these ones
43:14
will have a huge plethora of games which will be nice um but buying consoles at
43:18
release I find there's usually not enough going to be a half a
43:21
dozen games that are maybe worth playing yeah you know I'm I'm sticking with my
43:25
whole thing where I always own like the previous generation one so when when uh
43:31
when PS1 came out actually no I never did get an m64 okay okay we're not
43:35
including we but when PS2 came out I got a PlayStation one like right at that
43:39
time when PlayStation 3 came out I got a PlayStation 2 super cheap boom I I I've
43:45
only played like two games on it though I played through all actually no more
43:48
than that I played through all of the PS2 final fantasies okay so but honestly
43:52
they started getting really terrible like X2 was just awful uh Final Fantasy
43:58
MMO apparently is re-releasing it it's supposed to be way better than it was
44:01
never it's an MMO I'm not paying a subscription to play a game is it a
44:05
subscription one I don't know I don't care yeah I'm not really that interested
44:08
other CL online's coming the okay yeah I
44:11
won't talk about it yeah don't stop talking you know you know what's funny
44:15
is I believe there was a tweet or something in twitch chat last time around was like oh Slick's not here we
44:20
won't have to hear about all Scrolls I didn't get in the beta again
44:24
anyways um uh watching live from Brazil
44:27
hello hello can you clone your hard drive to an SSD without losing your OS
44:30
yes yep in fact Corsair has a kit Intel
44:33
drives include it Samsung drives include the software um and if you don't have
44:38
any software uh crucial has a kit that you can buy with their drives uh left
44:42
for dead three that was that was the other one that was rumored to be coming
44:46
although quite frankly if it's anything like Left for Dead 1 to Left for Dead 2
44:50
in terms of changes then you know what valve whoa whoa whoa that's not a middle
44:57
technically yeah all right but either way um yeah that was that was not worth
45:02
the 50 bucks or whatever I paid for Left for Dead too it was the same game it was
45:07
like yeah we changed the skin color of like the chick and the dude we swapped
45:11
them there was a pallet swap I played Left 4 Dead a bit but I didn't play Left
45:15
4 Dead too was the same game wasn't there like a few more different they
45:18
added some monsters it could have been a DLC for $4.99 it was a full game release
45:24
yeah it was brutal uh what's a good PSU a single GPU PC um depends on right now
45:30
that kind of depends on what CPU you're running with Haswell coming around yeah
45:34
that's true get a Haswell ready one so it supports the Deep Sleep States and uh
45:38
I don't know I mean if if you're running a Haswell chip you can get quite low how
45:42
about what's not a good PSU really really really really low
45:47
wattage or way way way way way too high wattage wasting money any good brand
45:51
name you know 500 to 600 watt is going to be pretty safe for almost any single
45:55
GPU you know Corsair Cooler Master seic
46:00
antech with with with uh Ivy I saw a lot
46:03
of people going 600 watt but Haswell now I've seen a lot of people dropping it
46:07
down to 500 watt everyone seems fine in our Haswell build guide where we put in
46:11
a GTX 780 right we put in what like a
46:15
520 watt power supply didn't even come
46:18
close to maxing it out totally fine yeah love the show thank you y we love you
46:23
too Saleem VFX uh good morning from Romania oh oh I have actually this is
46:28
not related to Twitter we'll get back to Twitter in a moment but we're looking at
46:31
potentially adding a call-in segment right soon so guys we might I don't know
46:38
how long it'll be I don't know exactly how it's going to work yet buts are
46:41
going to be interesting we're going to do a trial run next week and then the
46:44
official one sponsored by our unnamed sponsor who will be announced at some
46:49
point will be probably the following week but we haven't gotten 100%
46:52
confirmation on that yet cool that's going to be very cool uh
46:58
there we go good morning from Romania hi LCD or LED go watch the video on Tech
47:03
quickie LCD versus LED they don't happen to be different things necessarily have
47:08
you seen how to uninstall macafee antivirus on YouTube uh no I haven't if
47:13
it's anything like the how to install iOS 7 video it's probably just
47:16
ridiculous yeah uh Left 4 Dead 3 also
47:20
why you know say Linux like your name with an
47:23
X oh Steve that's the worst question I think 's ever sent into this show uh
47:29
because it's not my name well even the
47:32
Linux guy's name is lonus the same is mine what kind of question is that Linux
47:38
isn't a name yeah are you leaving yeah oh okay
47:43
do you want to pop in and say hi do you guys want diesel to pop in and say hi
47:47
hold on I'm going to check and see if twitch chat even wants you to he wanted
47:50
me to knock on the wall no if they don't if they don't want you to then uh we're
47:53
not going to oh oh unanimously no
47:57
no no they're they're all saying yes they're all saying yes you can come join us so guys if you if you haven't if you
48:03
haven't seen them already get comfy diesel the intern joining
48:07
us okay now I'm GNA go okay all right good night see you Monday
48:12
see youing yeah for those of you who don't know we're in the new HQ so everyone's
48:17
uh everyone's here we're all uh we're all working enjoying our linous Media
48:21
Group uh lucrative high-paying jobs that
48:25
shut up that YouTube money
48:30
right whatever man khakis is Australian
48:33
for car keys I actually kind of believe that although I think you're pulling my
48:37
leg uh what fans do you recommend for the h100 hold on hold on hold on you got
48:42
three guesses in the first two don't count Noctua what model n12 Noctua n12
48:48
thank you same check out our check out our cooling benches they're really
48:52
freaking good you know what here is here's something that I would like to
48:57
get some feedback from the viewers on and uh okay so so we're done with a
49:01
Twitter with that Twitter Blitz for now guys you know how much I love Noctua
49:07
okay so I you probably know how much I love
49:10
Noctua Noctua doesn't really do a lot of
49:13
marketing like have you ever seen have
49:17
you ever seen a nocta ad ask yourself that however much you also happen to
49:22
love Noctua if you love them as much as we do one quick thing I'm going to Jud
49:25
in when we going through the computer like crazy computer shop area in Korea
49:29
there was a store that only sold Noctua products that's awesome it wasn't a no a
49:33
store called lus store no oh okay well they should have they should have been
49:37
called it should have been called the Linux store because apparently that's my name now I it sells only fans so we've
49:44
been talking to Noctua they know how much we love them and their products we
49:48
were blown away by the cool fraking stuff that uh that we saw at their booth
49:53
at computex and we basically sat down with them and we went look
49:57
we love your products we want to pimp your products we pimp your products even
50:02
though you've never spent a dollar with us in terms of sponsorship or
50:05
advertising cab roll is there any way
50:09
that you guys would consider sponsoring Us in some way so that if we're going to
50:14
pimp your products anyway we can at least turn this into like some kind of
50:17
mutually supportive relationship because let me tell you nocta has already
50:21
noticed how much traffic is coming to their website from lus Tech tips Forum
50:26
cool and I was like you know what's funny is what you've probably seen a lot
50:30
of is um I don't I think these fans are
50:34
ugly but lonus recommends them for some reason so I might as well look at so you
50:38
should probably buy them and they were it's funny because they're their
50:42
engineer burst out laughing he was like yeah that's exactly what they
50:47
said it's like these ugly fans that inexplicably lius gets like a raging B-
50:53
word over so anyway I was like I was sitting
50:56
down with them and I'm like how do we make this something that makes sense
51:00
that doesn't compromise our integrity because honestly I don't want it to be
51:04
like a paid thing yeah because we'll Honestly though it it and we'll we'll
51:09
continue doing it even if they don't give us a dollar because we do so much
51:14
already cooler reviews anything that ever needs a fan even in the room tour
51:18
we shot the other day of this room you brought I know I'm like there's my pile
51:22
of nocas that I don't actually use in my own system man the new black ones
51:29
though I need those they're like $30 a
51:32
fan people buy them though a thing like
51:36
okay I saw one complaint about the uh brown rubber uh noise dancing thing on
51:41
the corners they're not that bad and you can take them off you can take them off
51:44
yeah well you can take them off on the current on that's true so I'm assuming
51:47
you can take them off okay that's true okay so guys we want your feedback how
51:51
could lonus Tech tips possibly collaborate with in with Noctua in some
51:55
way that wouldn't bother you guys but that would be you know somehow help less
52:00
Media Group pay our bills because we have a lot of them so I'm I'm going to
52:04
the Twitter boards and I'm opening up the twitch chat and I'm going to look at what you guys have to say I'm going to
52:08
try and read the twitch chat but y'all don't have a whole lot of uh oh my
52:12
apparently there's like massive horse penises in the twitch chat so we're
52:15
going to go to uh we're going to go back to Twitter
52:19
here uh I okay I have no idea that
52:23
anyway fan controller yes or no um I
52:26
personally don't like manual fan controllers because I think they're super pointless you're never going to
52:30
touch it yeah uh but automated fan controllers yay stuff like T balancer
52:35
which we both you get yours working yeah oh cool okay U stuff like T balancer
52:39
which we both have is amazing did you get it like configurable working like I
52:42
sent you the software patch and all that man that's ridiculous it's really hard we should do a guide on
52:46
that I wonder how I already forgot how to fully do it it took me a while well
52:50
it took me hours the first time back when I did it like 3 years ago and then
52:54
it took me hours the second time even with your like kind of ghetto guide
52:59
thing that you gave me like it took me a long time comments on how iOS 7 looks um
53:04
honestly I am I find it extremely confusing some of the visual changes
53:09
that they've made in iOS 7 I don't think it contributes in any meaningful way and
53:12
Marcus brownley uh has a fantastic video
53:16
sort of covering how the Innovative features in iOS
53:20
7 kind of not that Innovative to elaborate I'm running a GTX 570 sorry
53:25
man we got that out of order much I can do Sheamus I have ios7 working fine cool
53:29
beans GTX 780 versus 770 I don't see a compelling reason to grab a 770 versus a
53:34
used 680 for example um I would grab a
53:39
780 however 780 is Beast if I had the
53:42
budget for it 780 and 770 is not the same ballpark they are not on the same
53:46
tier in a way that we actually haven't seen in many generations the top tier
53:51
card in fact I don't think we've ever seen this before not that big of a spread as far as I know that's insane
53:55
like 90 even like 9700 Pro 9500 Pro same
54:00
GPU architecture I don't think we've ever seen it not the same
54:04
GPU for the top tier and the next tier well isn't it gk110 and gk104 yeah yeah
54:09
cuz the G I know what you're saying like this is the first time we've seen it sorry I thought you were saying the
54:13
exact same one I realized what you're saying now but like charts break because
54:18
of it yeah I know it's like yeah like Slick's having trouble
54:22
with our uh 40 new interactions anything to say
54:28
about the 8,000 series nope if you make
54:31
a military build it's the only way no look good in a case true Dad I'm looking
54:35
for a gaming mouse without a ton of buttons for MMOs can you recommend me
54:38
stuff course their M40 actually looks compelling and Death Adder 2013 if you
54:42
don't mind the hair trigger buttons which are driving me crazy if you need a
54:45
bigger Mouse Funk ms3 Funk ms3 Is Not a Bad Bet either I would do a build video
54:50
with all no tour products and show how to install use and they sponsor it
54:53
that's actually not a bad idea where we do an ultimate silent build which I
54:58
think everyone should be on the same page would contain nocta products yeah
55:03
that's not a bad idea yeah okay uh we need to fight bandwagoning and single
55:07
brand bias you should be impartial be quiet! and Fant text is equal more or
55:11
less no they're not so there um do you
55:16
hate origin or
55:20
ea uh why not make KN to a commercials your commercials are awesome H the
55:24
commercials are a huge up front investment and I think noctu is looking
55:28
for more like you know um they're very
55:32
practical yeah as you may or may not have noticed from the design that goes
55:35
into their products they're they're going to be more into some s some type
55:39
of tech tip or some type of guide something like that they're a very
55:43
technical community like a guide is more something that I can imagine them being
55:46
interested in where it educates their their users in some meaningful
55:50
way um I only ever use no toz as all my case fans what about 29in monitor I have
55:56
no idea how those two things are related ads before actual video content
56:01
like we normally do wouldn't bother me okay how about a Linus design fan like
56:06
how Pro Gamers have mice and keyboards you know what honestly I pitched it um I
56:11
I wanted to do it I was like guys let me
56:14
at one of your products let me make some tweaks that I think will make sense
56:18
visually and uh let me turn it into something that I would proudly put in my
56:22
system because as much as I love no to one I refuse to use anything else on
56:25
like test benches or whatever else they still haven't found a home in my system
56:30
even though they are superior to every product I use in my system and I know it
56:34
because I just can't handle the looks although the new black ones will they
56:38
will change all that oh my goodness they look so good super excited about that um
56:42
I feel as though even being paid by Noctua wouldn't be a bad thing as
56:45
they're a great brand yeah still though get Linus to replace the girl in the top
56:49
corner of no. yeah I'm not as hot as her I haven't
56:54
seen her but I'm sure that I'm not as
56:57
attractive uh I'm going to start putting
57:00
lus sent me here in my comments for products very nice uh just be like lonus
57:05
uses these fans put them in your build though I can't I can't until the black
57:09
ones come then I will then I will mark my words I believe it have the fans
57:14
installed in all your cases water and rad so so more like a product placement
57:17
thing we already we already kind of do it even we totally don't already do that
57:22
I know we should totally have a contest
57:25
where you PID had entered into a no to a contest I could use some fans you could
57:28
use 10 bucks we don't want to take money from the community for I don't like
57:32
those kind of contests at all they seem so scammy yeah I
57:35
don't uh put your face on the fan boxes
57:39
have Josh from fractal as a booth babe show off the no fans goodness that would
57:42
work fractal has fans so I don't know that they're going to want to do that
57:45
build a comp together computer together with nox you know what something like a
57:48
sponsored build where we do like ultimate silence build might make a lot
57:53
of sense maybe I'll reach out to them with that something that could be really
57:56
cool it's really far away and probably super impractical but if you could go to
58:00
their facility and see how they test like noise levels and all that other
58:04
kind of stuff because we've done that before but knock TOA doesn't that would be phenomenally expensive though you
58:09
have to fly at least me plus one like I said super not practical to Austria
58:13
super far away you know what's funny it would just be really cool I'm convinced
58:17
at this point that all Austrian computer companies know each other uh you know
58:21
what they do what are you trying to do here go uh do another Topic in the
58:25
meantime wow that was random um let me find the topic list and find something
58:29
to talk about
58:34
uh wow I don't have anything on here
58:38
sorry guys give me a
58:43
second it's open in a tab on yours yeah sorry give me one sec
58:50
and it's to it to the screen okay I don't know how to do that
58:56
I'm going to jump into something super random he has it titled
58:59
as erotic adventure with oculus rift so
59:03
basically what's going on is people are developing games for Oculus Rift already Oculus Rift is virtual reality that goes
59:08
on your head it's freaking awesome I've tried it check out our what is it called
59:12
Omni video to see Oculus Rift in action
59:15
Oculus Rift is very very cool another thing to check out on the same topic is
59:18
EVR or Eve VR it's a uh dog fighting
59:24
style space combat game inspired by by Eve made by CCP which is the guys that
59:29
make Eve but it's done with oculus rift and that with razor Hydra a that would
59:35
be so cool I got so excited when I saw that trailer if you haven't seen it yet
59:38
and you're interested in VR definitely check that out but back on to the topic
59:42
that's in here is Oculus Rift erotic Adventure one thing that um lonus put in
59:48
here is how detri how detrimental is this to have it released before the
59:52
Oculus Rift even hits the market um in
59:55
my my opinion it could get some bad rep for Oculus Rift and it could get some
59:59
bad rep for itself um because of certain people that aren't going to want this
60:03
but if people don't think there is already erotic games like you're
60:08
delusional there's tons of them already they're out there people don't have to
60:12
play them and people won't have to play the one with oculus rift it's not a
60:16
requirement so in my opinion you
60:20
probably should have seen this coming it was going to happen uh if you're a
60:25
parent just monitor your kids game library or whatever just make sure they
60:29
don't play it if you don't want them to play it like I don't think it's the
60:32
biggest deal um this kind of stuff will happen with
60:38
everything everyone saw this coming like
60:41
the fact that it's releasing before Oculus Rift hits the market is
60:45
interesting but not that surprising because they're going to want this
60:48
available for everyone right away and it's probably not going to have to be
60:51
the highest quality thing in the world so that's really not that
60:54
surprising what are you do doing that's weird and not in
61:00
Focus focusing is often my
61:06
problem so so why did you grab the angel bird the angel bird this is hilarious
61:11
because we did an unboxing of this uh aluminum enclosure I mean the
61:15
craftsmanship of this thing is outstanding I think we can all agree on that I found out why it uses USB 3 Type
61:21
A connectors at the back did I tell you this yet because and this is funny
61:25
because because it so validates something I've been ranting about for so
61:29
long Angel bird Austrian
61:32
company actually tested every usb3
61:36
connector implementation to find out how many inser like in a practical Everyday
61:40
Use scenario how many inserts it was good for and they found that every other
61:44
connector failed around 350 350 yes whereas usba a was good for
61:53
3 3500 Plus
61:56
that is why they're using USB 3 on the
62:00
back like type A on the back of their drive because they actually validate it
62:04
and they actually care unlike that's Beast cell phone companies which I find
62:08
it unbelievable that they all standardized on micro USB mine is almost
62:12
kind of broken I've told you about that right it's ridiculous the worst
62:15
connector in the world y the little contact on the inside of mine is super
62:19
flimsy maybe not the worst connector in the world but it's not good but it's terrible expecting it to last based on
62:24
that angel bird only was able to validate it for around 365 and that was
62:28
the USB 3 one which is wider I mean given you have to charge a
62:33
phone every day it will not last for 3 years I have problems with mine I have
62:37
to sometimes I have to like angle my phone interestingly so that it will
62:41
actually like press up against it so it'll work properly and like pushing it
62:45
in there sometimes I'm really careful so I actually get the thing in like so the
62:48
angel bird guys were telling the Noctua guys about our great unboxing and
62:52
they're like yeah he covered our booth too blah blah blah blah blah so the angel bird guys is like yeah Jacob from
62:56
nocta says hi and I'm like do you guys all like live in the same town or
63:00
something they I'm sure they all talk to each other anyway I got a kick out of
63:04
that that's cool that's Prett so uh uh
63:07
let's talk oh I just talking about the Oculus Rift thing if you want to add
63:10
comments no I just think that that's extremely detrimental to sort of the
63:15
image yeah that VR is going to have at the very beginning oh it is I mean but
63:20
at the same time what I said is everyone should have seen this coming on the other hand it might push it to
63:24
mainstream like right quick
63:27
fast that's also possible po POV
63:31
Adventure uh yeah but like okay seriously everyone should have seen this
63:35
coming they get to every medium you know what though in terms of PC games there
63:40
hasn't been that much they exist though okay but there's some like I If I recall
63:46
correctly there were some experienced game devs with pretty impressive resumes
63:50
working on this was it I haven't looked into it yeah no I did okay but anyway so
63:56
okay I wanted to move on to the AMD upcoming uh
64:00
CPUs oh yeah with the gigahertz race on
64:04
again AMD releasing the first 5 GHz CPU
64:07
I talked about it a little bit last week so I don't know have have you heard anything about this no okay three things
64:13
number one is these are very cherry-picked they are going to be
64:16
extremely Limited in Supply number two is they are not intended to be available
64:21
in the retail channel so the 9590 and the 9570 will be system Builder only SKS
64:27
much like the um oh crap what was it I
64:32
think it was AMD's first dual GPU card that had the ridiculous like handle on
64:37
it yeah or like maybe it was like the ear like was it like a 2900 XT
64:42
overclocked or or an x850 XT like
64:45
Platinum Edition something like like AMD's done this before back then they
64:49
were ATI but whatever um so anyway they
64:52
they've done stuff like this before and so these are going to be system builder
64:56
only SKS and last but not least check
64:59
this out 220 watt TDP I yeah I did know that that
65:06
is the most ludicrous thing so insane that I have ever seen so this was
65:11
submitted on the Forum by metrop P who
65:14
uh has linked here with his own little blur although we prefer a little bit of
65:17
a longer write up than that guys uh if you don't mind and I just zoomed in and
65:22
now I'm breaking everything so anyway softpedia andd won't sell the 5 GHz and
65:27
4.7 GHz CPUs two consumers Two Cherry
65:30
Picked yeah two Cherry Picked I suspect there just aren't enough of them and not
65:34
only that but they'll Ship Without cooling solutions and they will be expecting uh aftermarket coolers on
65:39
these things because of the extremely high 220 watt TDP and the funny thing is
65:46
um most of the people that have sent me messages about this seem to be under the
65:50
impression thatd is concerned about the chips not being cooled enough I call
65:55
ball on that because Intel already does it with their six core processors all
65:59
LGA 2011 processors ship with no heat sink these are high TDP chips they are
66:04
expecting people to put an appropriate cooler on it with that said it's a
66:08
different socket and you'd expect any cooler on lga2011 to be appropriate for
66:12
an LGA 2011 chip but there are quad cores on 2011 there are lowprofile
66:16
coolers that I kind of look at and I go seriously oh jeez you know that one we
66:20
have just like really maybe if the fan
66:24
goes speaking of nocta who I love so dearly they have a low profile cooler
66:28
coming it looks so sexy speaking of noct we killed their website double stack did
66:31
we really yeah
66:36
oops sorry sorry sorry Jacob um I think
66:42
the problem is actually to do with the vrm on motherboards because we've seen this
66:48
before with AMD when they started releasing some of their High TDP Black
66:52
Edition chips um even not to 200 plus
66:56
wattt TDP chip so remember that is going to be pulling a ton of power these are
67:00
basically overclocked CPUs out of the box Cherry Picked and overclocked um
67:06
people were killing boards because they were putting them on consumer grade
67:09
boards remember AMD doesn't have a socket differentiation strategy I
67:13
believe AMD is concerned not only about consumers putting them on boards that
67:17
are going to fry but also motherboard
67:20
manufacturers validating these chips on boards that can't handle them in the
67:24
long term Intel saw a ton of this back in the presc days I saw motherboards
67:30
that had been running for maybe a year and a half where the entire back of the
67:34
board along the vrm was brownish black
67:38
yeah and they weren't even dead yet they were still running but Lord only knows
67:42
what kind of voltages they were delivering to the CPU by that point how
67:46
damaged they were so this wouldn't be the first time that a CPU manufacturer
67:51
has gone okay whoa hold on this chip needs a lot of power maybe we better be
67:55
careful what kind of motherboards it's being put in and I know that some of the
67:59
boards that it's being validated with are things like Crosshair 5 where ASUS
68:03
on their Rog boards overb builds the vrm to the point where it's just kind of
68:07
stupid yeah but that's what they need but that's what they do yeah and that's
68:11
what this chip needs so um so there you go that's my that's my take on that
68:15
whole thing that's interesting that makes sense uh TDP thermal design power
68:20
so TDP is used a little H it's used a
68:23
little bit interchangeably with power and thermal output so that is how much
68:29
heat it generates and the the thing is that there does tend to be a correlation
68:33
between the P the power consumption of the Chip And The Heat that it wastes
68:37
because efficiency is efficiency across an architecture and so the amount of
68:43
heat that you're going to generate as waste is going to have something to do with how much power consumption that
68:47
it's actually using versus how much of it gets expelled as heat and part of the
68:51
confusion also comes from the fact that watts are used for both heat and Power
68:55
but TDP strictly speaking refers to the
68:59
actual thermal output of a chip or graphics card or whatever else it just
69:04
happens that like it's funny because you look at the TDP of something like um a
69:07
GTX 690 versus a Radeon 7990 there's a
69:11
75 watt difference it happens that underload power consumption is a 75 watt
69:16
difference so you see where the confusion comes
69:19
from so yeah so 220 wat TDP means these
69:23
things bust out a ton of heat which also affects the vrm solution because even if
69:28
you have a beefy vrm if it doesn't have adequate Cooling and there's this 220
69:32
watt heating element and that's before people overclock them and TDP goes on a
69:37
curve like this as you start to overclock it um there's a lot of heat
69:42
there that can burn out vrms as well uh how bad are Corsair SP 1220s compared to
69:46
n2s I mean they're not bad they have a bit more of a ticking noise particularly
69:51
when they're undervolted um they don't perform as well um
69:56
they look really they look way better that's that's I think that's where the
70:00
main competition is people don't like the look of nocu but you see a lot of SP
70:04
that's why I'm using GED wings and AP1 121s cuz I can't accept the nocas in my
70:09
in my personal build which has a blue and black color scheme the interchangeable rings on SP 1220s are
70:14
awesome that was such that was such an innovation really good move it was like
70:17
the weirdest smallest thing I didn't think it mattered at first and then I
70:20
started seeing it in different colored builds and I was just like they hit the
70:23
nail on the head with that one they really really did yeah hey lonus why don't you ever talk about GTX funny cuz
70:28
I just talked about it uh I don't have one NVIDIA never sent me one because I
70:32
was literally in a delivery room when
70:36
the conference call that I had to be on in order to get one was going on not
70:40
delivery room as in like male yeah like like my baby was being born so uh so
70:46
they so I mean they only have review samples when they have review samples
70:49
and it was one of those things where they were just like
70:53
dude sorry man and I was like okay okay
70:57
still can't make it but okay other than that we have every NVIDIA GPU that
71:01
they've done over the last uh however long so uh tell us more about the Omni
71:06
experience it was very cool but we've talked about it a fair bit we actually
71:09
have an interview with uh with Yan coming up on the line of tech tips
71:12
Channel soon is the ASUS Zonar something
71:15
still relevant probably um I don't know I can never remember what a DX or an XE
71:20
or seem to move way too fast they don't move too fast get a Zonar you'll be
71:25
happy you'll be good for at least quite a while yes I prefer single GPU cards
71:29
what's up with the 590 in my rig I had a water block I had a 590 and they look so
71:34
good with that water block and they look so good with that water block like I use
71:38
bad components people ask me what's in
71:41
my personal rig and I'm almost afraid to tell them sometimes because I use stuff
71:45
that just makes no sense yes but then look at the same time look at super
71:49
super high-end system Builders like like people making stuff for million dollar
71:53
PC and stuff if you look at what's in in the computer it's not always that good
71:57
but the stuff I'm using is like balling but like makes no sense I have an
72:01
extreme Edition yeah like I I don't even
72:04
have it overclocked that hard I could literally get a
72:08
3930k overclock it and get better performance if I just spent a little bit
72:12
of time T tuning it um I have two sticks
72:15
of RAM in an LGA 2011 board right now
72:18
because I just haven't gotten around to moving the RAM that's in that rig over
72:21
there to my system I have a 590 which
72:24
makes not an ounce of sense because the power consumption of it especially
72:28
compared to 600 series and 7,000 series is terrible at idol the amount of heat
72:33
it kicks out is just devastating um I have looks good some
72:40
ludicrous raid card with eight ssds in raid zero which I do not recommend
72:44
running the amount of times I've had panic moments because my computer blue
72:49
screens and the RAID controller has a small freak out and loses my array and I
72:53
have to swap the cables and the alarms off and the I mean I'm I'm running in a
72:58
Cari laser which is like a 5-year-old Mouse I was like I was talking to one of
73:03
the guys that used to be at meic and he was like really there's way better mice
73:07
out there and I'm like I know but I just I love it and I can't change I just
73:11
can't change I have it dialed into exactly the settings I like what can I
73:15
do changing mice is difficult it really is I'm trying to change to the death out
73:19
2013 right now even just form factor because okay I have a G500 yeah I know
73:24
that there's problems with the lasers yeah that is a very well-known thing so
73:29
don't listen to us basically but if I put my hand on any other Mouse it's like
73:33
Oh that's oh it doesn't feel like a G500 yeah like I look at like my uh my case
73:39
makes no sense like tj07 that I've
73:42
probably spent $7 to $800 on and then I
73:45
haven't even spent the money in ways that are like good like instead of
73:49
buying like a Murder mod front panel for it I got a bunch of antech 900 front
73:54
grills and like powder coated them so that I could put another Radiator in the
73:58
front with like velcro let's see what else about my
74:04
build makes my pump is like 5 and 1/2 years old and you have newer ones with
74:08
the same and I have newer ones with the same model but I was just like oh I don't know this one's like Works it'll
74:13
probably be fine should be fine don't worry about it hey
74:17
girl yeah so I hate telling people about my rig I'm running a BenQ 24in monitor
74:23
that probably weighs as much as a CR T cuz it's so old it's like some slow VA
74:28
panel because my my 30-in monitor broke and I don't have money to replace it so
74:33
yeah bike over monitor I should totally do a Kickstarter buy Linus a new
74:38
monitor and like what do you get for doing it lamest Kickstarter ever you get
74:42
the self-satisfaction that's horrible
74:45
I'm not going to do it okay um there's people tweeting about us crashing noa's
74:51
website sorry Noca sorry um
74:55
what do you think of track ball mice
74:59
no we probably shouldn't get subjective no subjective um in very very specific
75:05
use cases I think they can be very cool a lime fire X has to go how long is the
75:09
stream going to be I'm trying to say awake it's so early in the morning thank
75:12
you for trying I have no idea what time is it I don't know when we started I
75:16
don't know when we started I don't know what time it is we were really late why
75:19
don't we burn through some topics here so that we can so we can at least end it
75:22
when they're tired of listening to us okay um and anek did a did a pretty cool
75:27
article uh best CPU best gaming CPUs for
75:30
the money 2013 guys check this out it was submitted on the Forum by excuse me
75:35
Samuel um there were a couple things in here that I thought were a little bit
75:39
suspect um so this is by Ian cutris I believe he's a doctor so I'm going to
75:43
say Dr cutris um I actually ran into him at computex cool yeah we ran into each
75:48
other in the ASRock Booth cool um I didn't think he was going to recognize
75:52
me because I'd only met him once before that I also ran into Anand and we filmed
75:57
an interview that all of my editors passive aggressively didn't edit and
76:02
didn't upload because apparently I was fanboying way too hard holy cow we
76:07
should we should release it at least un like unedited and we just release it I'm
76:12
not ashamed to Fanboy over on N it was awesome 40 minutes long whatever 50
76:17
minutes long they don't have to watch the whole thing and then the walk away
76:20
was amazing too I filmed part of it I don't think I'm going to release this
76:23
but I filmed part of it with the other two guys in the crew just like us all
76:28
talking about you and an N walking away whatever it was fantastic and then I
76:32
drew like fake little love circles I can think of I can think of worse people to
76:35
have a bromance with so anyway um so
76:39
their conclusions A8 5600k plus the core parking updates for
76:43
Windows is their CPU for single GPU
76:46
gaming this was can you still even get those core parking updates I think so
76:51
yeah okay and I think Windows 8 comes with them or something like it's not
76:54
that bad um so interesting choice makes
76:59
a lot of sense it does they're overclockable y it's not like you need I
77:02
mean we saw going results going from Sandy bridge to Ivy bridge to Haswell in
77:07
games what two three FPS that much you
77:11
won't notice it that much I love my 2600k Pepsi challenge
77:15
tmrc whatever all the things are Pepsi challenge aside like you'd never know
77:20
the difference sitting down in front of them which is to me the most important thing
77:25
my 2600k is overclocked quite well yep and I yeah I couldn't bring myself this
77:31
CPU costs next to nothing yep the boards are cheap super cheap fm2 boards cost
77:36
nothing 890 bucks for like a pretty good board for a pretty good board and it'll
77:40
be Crossfire ready or whatever else so I thought that was a fantastic uh I
77:44
thought that was a fantastic choice um the next one I thought was a little bit
77:48
weird 2500k can you even still get these 2500k
77:53
yeah that's actually not a bad choice though
77:57
I don't know how you could get one yeah exactly like what kind of what kind of recommendation is that though let me see
78:02
real quick and fx8350 to me look really
78:05
smacks of sort of trying to appease AMD here because
78:09
fx8350 because games are not really going to leverage those extra cores in a
78:13
meaningful way right now um is not going to perform that much better than the
78:16
5600k that they already recommended especially after you're overclocking
78:20
that 5600k I think it was almost reaching for like a better CPU to use
78:26
for dual GPU gaming just so that they could recommend something because you
78:29
still feel kind of silly putting a Titan in something like a 5600k system because
78:34
it just feels inappropriate but um I
78:37
mean really 2500k yeah it's not even listed on on NC it's not listed on
78:42
NewEgg like where are you going to buy these I mean 3500 for 3570k I could kind
78:47
of see and they do talk about that and the text blurb under it but uh yeah I
78:52
think it's a good choice and then the next one was
78:55
3770k and I I kind of had the same I kind of had the same feeling here where
79:00
the this was the triple GPU gaming CPU so they're saying um or yeah they're
79:06
saying 4770k I'm not really convinced wait Tri
79:11
okay and then for Quad GPU they say 3770k with the plx board because they
79:17
haven't had much experience with Z87 boards with plx chipset but I mean still
79:21
I'm not convinced that a hyperthreaded CP
79:25
makes any kind of an impact because you have more gpus um no we've had great great results
79:32
with non hyper threaded CPUs with multiple card we don't test multiple
79:35
graphics cards that much which is possibly part of that because neither of
79:40
us like them yeah well it's not so much
79:43
a like or dislike thing it's just uh it's it's so few people that are
79:47
actually running these three-way and fourway setups and with uh frame rating
79:52
and all that other stuff going around but on It's relatively not a problem
79:56
true um I mean and I've run SLI setups
80:00
many times for all of my preaching about single G that's another thing for all
80:03
the preaching I do about no TOA fans and single GPU setups I'm running yed wings
80:08
and Silverstone air penetrators which are both good fans too by the way and
80:11
I'm running a 590 and okay and I ran 7900 GT SLI and I ran 7950 GT SLI and I
80:20
ran GTX 260 SLI and I ran 8800 GTS 320
80:25
gig SLI and I ran no I think that was it I I my
80:32
buddy Harrison wanted a super super super high performance rig and ended up
80:36
getting him to get two 660 Ti power editions the original ones when you
80:39
could overclock them like crazy that was a great card and like that was a crazy
80:43
card and he esed them and they're crazy powerful sometimes it makes a ton of
80:47
sense yeah so anyway saying like usually we don't check out the Anon Tech article
80:52
thank you to uh to s ual for submitting
80:55
that article on the Forum in the news section guys don't forget if you submit
80:58
news items in the Forum there is a chance we will feature you on the live
81:02
stream which uh we don't it doesn't entitle you to any money but that
81:06
basically means you're like the rest of the lonus Media Group
81:13
employees that YouTube money
81:17
right uh NVIDIA licenses out Kepler
81:20
architecture and future GPU architectures uh submitted by good this
81:24
is also an article on Anon and I'm not going to wax on about how Anon is
81:28
awesome and I read it every day um if
81:32
that's a preview that's a preview of the interview with the net not only do I
81:35
read it every day but I've been reading it every day for years like I brought up
81:39
stuff in the interview he'd be like yeah something something something I'd be
81:42
like yeah kind of like in that article where you said this and he's just like
81:46
how do you possibly you really have been reading me for a long time like yeah
81:50
I've read everything you've ever written um we should relase that
81:54
interview yeah I probably should I was like yeah and you went through that phase where you were only interested in
81:59
like home theater crap for a while and he was like yeah I
82:02
did I was like yeah it was hard to keep reading your articles at that time
82:06
because home theater is so far behind in Canada because none of the providers
82:10
okay I'm not going to talk about a non Tech anymore um so moving on so this to
82:15
me is bizarre so they'll be licensing out their architecture in much the same
82:19
way that ARM does for its ARM architecture processors
82:24
what the devil does this mean go I I
82:29
haven't read enough into it it's just nuts like so are is there potential that
82:35
we could see an Intel you know I don't know
82:39
trollbridge CPU at some point with an
82:42
NVIDIA GeForce GPU in it troll bridge yes and this is where I think CU I'm
82:46
kind of trolling because I don't think Intel's going to do it but but it could
82:50
could we see someone else could as well and you look at like does this work
82:54
against what NVIDIA is trying to do with Tegra it feels like it is are they
83:00
shifting strategy here are they giving up on Tegra where they designed their
83:05
own complete chip but on the other hand they acquired all those Wireless patents
83:09
so so are they are they trying to own
83:12
are they trying to spread into the ecosystem are they hedging their bets
83:16
are they going we're still committed to Tegra we still believe according to the
83:20
code names of teger CPUs that they are basically our superhero product
83:25
but are they trying to make it so that there's a possibility that a Samsung or
83:30
Apple on the down low would put GeForce
83:33
inside because we can all agree that Tegra
83:37
Graphics have a lot of potential and they can basically compete with
83:41
themselves at this point yes which is interesting because if they're competing
83:45
with themselves they're still getting sales on both sides yes which is really
83:50
really good like really really good it
83:54
it opens the doors to a ton of stuff it could burst money into them which is
83:58
also another thing yeah it could be a really really good Financial depending
84:01
how the licensing depending on licing works all that kind of stuff who actually buys it we don't know right now
84:06
like it could be amazing it could not be amazing I mean it's interesting that is
84:10
just like Bizarro land to me it's weird because they've always been so closed
84:15
doors I mean if they're talking about you know having licensing partners for
84:19
the GPU Tech I mean at that point you're
84:22
going to have to start sharing GPU technology before release they have
84:27
always been like nope like I have a
84:30
feeling that you could get killed at NVIDIA for like releasing I mean okay if
84:36
Jensen's watching I know you wouldn't kill anybody I I met him once he's super
84:40
cool um but
84:45
yeah still though that's they've always been
84:49
hardcore this is our technology you don't mess with it and uh I don't know
84:54
this is just uh this is this is so bizarre I mean would they would they
84:58
would they license it to AMD if they wanted to that's one thing I was just
85:02
thinking but I don't think so because at that point like you just said they'd
85:06
have to release stuff before the release and I don't think AMD would actually
85:09
want it I think they take a lot of pride in what they've done with Radeon over
85:14
the last little while and they are take like if you look at the architectures
85:17
they're really different yes they're very very different gravis cards but they're really different and you look at
85:22
I mean AMD in some ways yeah is is as
85:25
ahead of the curve as they've ever been in terms of the tech do they have a
85:29
competitor for Titan no but that was never their strategy no
85:34
not in the not since they did 3870 has that been their strategy the
85:39
highend is meant to be addressed by two dual by a dual GPU card um so so yeah so
85:45
there so there's that you look at how far ahead they are on in terms of open C
85:48
Al performance which is going to be much very relevant moving forward that's
85:53
going to be a big deal and it feels like I mean particularly with Adobe moving to
85:57
opencl it feels like that battle is going to be
86:02
interesting open SE versus Cuda uh you look at how competitive six uh 7,000
86:08
series still is even though it launched before this is something a lot of people
86:12
forget 7,000 series is old people ask me
86:16
all the time lonus why don't you ever do any coverage of AMD gpus well because
86:19
they haven't freaking released anything in a long time because 7,000 series was
86:24
before 600 series and NVIDIA is refreshing to 700 series already and
86:28
they didn't get us to 7990 and and they didn't get but we have one now the
86:32
unboxing is shot and it'll be up soon so
86:36
there you go so that means I get to and we got a 7790 finally uh I don't know if
86:40
there's any point in US benchmarking it because we don't have a frame rating
86:44
setup right I don't know so we'll we'll we'll we'll discuss internally and see
86:49
what we think makes sense but
86:52
um yeah I mean they're they're really ahead they're really advanced in in a
86:56
way that and I think it would be a pride thing I don't think AMD would want to
87:00
take you know yeah help from the Green
87:04
Team then again I'm you know I'm not going to speak for amds be interesting
87:08
Technologies at the same time like they're trying to get um oh man why
87:13
can't I remember the name of it right now dress effects yeah the hair thing
87:18
yep they might be able to pull in help by getting some of the Technologies from
87:22
physic okay so I don't again pride thing
87:25
which is honestly as a company I wouldn't want to be like hey we want to
87:29
like figure out yeah we're going to start you know pushing physx yeah that
87:33
doesn't seem like the right move and I don't think they'll do it I just can't imagine AMD putting anything green on
87:37
their box yeah no they even moved away
87:41
from it on the AMD CPU side like nope
87:44
nope our performance stuff is all red yeah done
87:48
yeah um how are the angel bird internal ssds any good they're sand Force ssds so
87:52
they couldn't be bad so far just based
87:56
on the sort of fit and finish of this I would say their attention to detail and
88:00
quality is outstanding and it's been doing great we've actually used it a lot
88:04
using it all day today um please do a guide on the tea balancer yeah I know
88:08
it's for like seven people that need one
88:12
um other than mice causing pregnancy oh shoot you guys can't see Twitter right
88:15
now I'm sorry uh let's lus let's just say your
88:19
personal rig is full of things that you take risks on dayto day yes I do
88:24
what what do you think about Omni and the Elder Scrolls guy working together
88:28
to make okay what do you think about Omni and Elder Scrolls would you play
88:31
Elder Scrolls with an omni uh if I want to become a marathon runner true that
88:36
okay fast travel I guess yeah but I okay I don't want to
88:41
get into this I'll talk for too long Ivy Bridge uses a very cheap thermal
88:44
solution under the IHS 2500k is great good for you but you can't buy one
88:48
that's what we were talking about he he I think he I I think I saw that tweet
88:52
too I have won at 5 years so he has one
88:55
already he's not trying to buy one oh and you could technically buy them
88:59
that's not really relevant from for a 2013 buyer guide though definitely not
89:03
okay but do you think the Dell u31 is
89:08
worth $1,400 depends what you're doing are you a professional user yeah are you
89:12
a professional well yeah are you a professional user who can't quite afford
89:15
an
89:19
isoo super expensive I don't I've never even looked into it I know I've know
89:23
more than one person that has that monitor because it's amazingly good yeah
89:26
I know some graphic designers I bought a 2405 fpw back in the day I picked one up
89:31
used for 750 or 800 bucks like that was
89:35
the most expensive monitor I've ever bought even my 30 in I only spent around
89:39
650 bucks on it um Dell monitors are outstanding that 2405 fpw that's an 05
89:45
model is still running and it's starting to fade it's
89:49
been fading for about a year but it's still on my wife's desk so I believe in
89:53
Dell monitors I'll just put really really really good it's my personal
89:56
experience best CPU for 3D rendering and rendering in general I have a six core
90:00
1090t I mean 3930k is what I would
90:05
go um I think I accidentally scrolled up or
90:09
something most embarrassing moment at computex was it all the booth babes
90:14
trying to take pictures with you yeah probably that's weird never happened to
90:18
me so I guess uh I guess we didn't even
90:22
release the video of the best one oh really oh that no it got lost oh did it
90:26
yeah it glitched out I pulled the USB
90:30
drive out of the computer without safely removing and the file oh that one was
90:35
the best one oh Boll was like choked so
90:38
choked he was like I wanted that to I know I'm sorry
90:44
it was my bad it was my bad well I don't safely remove flash lives either so I I
90:48
can't be that mad you could have EAS you could have just as easily done it but Boll was mad yeah cuz he does and he
90:53
does do we don't have time we're just like ah
90:57
let's go go go the files are of lesser importance than getting this USB drive
91:01
out as quickly as we can I CL yeah that's broken that's like definitely
91:05
broken oh okay well we tried to go to this link but uh here you go guys China
91:10
now has the world's fastest supercomputer by a long fraking shot
91:14
Titan has been surpassed so NVIDIA is going to have to redo all of their
91:17
marketing around the world's fastest supercomputer and the Titan GPU I mean
91:22
it was the world's fastest supercomputer and that whole thing is just a Leap Frog
91:25
race oh yeah insanely fast too and Titan's still fast don't worry and I
91:29
mean China's approach was to throw what was it like something like a million
91:33
plus CPUs at the problem trying they built their own interconnect to
91:37
communicate from like node to node and
91:40
the thing is fraking beast and it's basically part of China's initiative to
91:46
be to to to have their own it resources
91:49
that are just freaking boss because when China decides to do something and like
91:54
do it hardcore like look at the Beijing Olympics everything about it was like
91:58
awesome like I honestly living in Vancouver I just felt embarrassed by
92:04
things like our Opening Ceremonies compared to the Beijing one just like
92:08
everything was embarrassing compared to just China is hardcore uh so blah blah
92:12
blah they you so they're not using their own CPUs although there
92:18
are so yeah this is so super so Titan is
92:21
just over half of the power of the new uh whatever it's called Ti and not power
92:28
draw yeah no uh Power in terms of like
92:31
ra yeah yeah um Gun Show time so also
92:35
known as Milky Way 2 consists of 16,000 nodes inside each node two Intel xon
92:42
ivybridge processors and three Intel xon five processors run the show adding up
92:47
to a total of 3.12 million Computing
92:51
cores okay then the machine is is scheduled to be fully operational by the
92:55
end of this year something something something so most of the features of the
92:59
system were developed in China they're using only Intel for the main compute
93:02
part however the interconnect operating system frontend processors and software
93:08
are mainly Chinese very interesting and
93:11
the Chinese are looking into making their own processors right yeah like
93:14
like yep large large scale in fact there
93:19
are something where are they something something something something something
93:23
ah can't find it I think there are some Chinese processors in there that they're
93:27
not even factoring into the power of it
93:30
from it's like a top 500 supercomputer perspective and it's more specialized
93:34
for like weather weather predictions or something I pretty sure I read that
93:39
anyway this could be a slightly I think I clicked on another link within the
93:42
article and I I kind of kept reading about it cuz I was interested in it but
93:46
uh There You Go China dominant in terms of world's fastest but I think the US
93:50
still has something ludicrous like 200 of the top 500 super computers and China
93:54
has like 70 or something like that so it's still it's still the US uh the US
94:00
show in terms of supercomputing and let's do build of the week and then I
94:03
think we're pretty much going to do another Twitter Blitz and wrap this up
94:06
folks build of the week is a you're up uh oh okay I did a PowerPoint for it oh
94:12
where is it this works it's in the Google Drive all right Google Drive oh
94:17
you're showing the Google Das whatever um uh what's it called uh today's try
94:22
today's date with dashes today date with dashes are you what are you hi what
94:26
didn't mean type in today 6-21
94:30
sl23 really oh really yeah and it's
94:34
going to look like and your naming thing for the file earlier I was like yeah
94:39
three numbers that's perfect all right so here we go wow did we see this I saw
94:44
that we saw this yeah I saw this at compex yeah and it's in it's in a video
94:49
that we did of the ECS Booth is this on her form this is she posted it on her
94:53
her to while she was there because there was the five mod men competition right
94:56
she was the only one actively standing by her computer and actively talking
95:00
about her computer so I was like you should post this on her Forum you'll get tons of traffic she ended up winning a
95:04
Community Choice Award cool which is awesome and I think largely driven by
95:08
our fans because it in our video and that's really really cool the power
95:12
suppies is in the bottom it's all she's a gold and silver smith oh is it silver
95:18
it's no it's aluminum oh okay um but like she has the tools to do that kind
95:23
of stuff what's oh that's the other build of the week okay so uh where do
95:26
they go to get the links for build of the week the links for this will be in
95:29
I'll tweet them out right now they will be in a form topic on the top of build
95:34
logs um made by windspeed 36 so you'll be able to find these later on um he
95:39
will add them there and I'll tweet these out but they're both totally awesome
95:42
this one is user fat you can find her on the Forum you can check the build doogs
95:46
thread she's still I think page one or two and that thing is very very very
95:50
cool all right next up this is user rjf
95:55
049 with okay then the most creative name I've ever seen and it's on a test
96:00
bench but it's really interesting I really really suggest checking out the
96:04
thread because while this is the most um
96:07
like pulled out video uh picture I could see that really showed the whole build
96:11
you should really really see the closer up pictures because he's got really nice look at that individually sleeved
96:15
cabling it's like perfect super nice sleeving um and he sleeved his tubes oh
96:21
it really good looks it looks really really good the test bench is way too
96:27
big I see that it's way too big and it's
96:30
a lot bigger that's an hptx uh it's one of the uh ah what am I not cool it um um
96:37
deusch no no they do like pots or whatever the fit thing oh phobia phobia
96:43
it's a phobia test bench and it's absolutely massive and I mean how many
96:47
slots do this 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 like
96:52
is that 11 what kind of board does this okay anyway whatever you want but it's a
96:56
really really cool build I've said really really a ton you do say about a
97:00
ton I do I fall back on if I say really
97:04
really or very very it buys me time so I can figure out what I'm going to say
97:07
next look how dark we are now yeah cuz it's dimming outside yeah um anyway guys
97:13
check out the builds of the week they're awesome as usual we will be back oh no I
97:17
said we would do a Twitter Blitz okay guys Twitter Blitz time slick thoughts
97:22
on Elder schools online coming to consoles no we're not talking about
97:25
that um if you want to talk about that we'll talk about that later in some
97:29
medium either message me on the forarm or start a thread or something I'll show up my PC and everything in it is four5
97:35
years old is it worth upgrading over time save for a new build do that thing
97:38
save for a new build it is pretty much always uh a better choice will you
97:44
autograph my side panel if I send it to you that's not really a service we
97:49
offer um honestly I think you'll be Amed
97:53
at how expensive it is to I shipped a motherboard to Australia today and it
97:57
was $90 and that was going through
98:01
through the shipping rates that are available at NC I called in a favor
98:06
which is not how much it would have cost if we went normally yeah it was like 250
98:10
bucks FedEx quoted us yeah uh should I get an h8i or an h100i get an h100i
98:16
Haswell e x99 LGA 20113 any news not
98:20
really I mean Ivy bridy isn't out yet
98:24
so what's up with the PS4 saying it will have ddr5 RAM it has gddr5 RAM and it
98:29
shares that Graphics memory which the main differences between Graphics memory
98:33
and system memory are that it's higher latency and typically higher clock
98:36
speeds um it's going to share that as system memory this is something we've
98:40
never seen before and everyone is very interested to see how that goes yeah are
98:44
closed loop water cools generally loud no but the h60 if you want to overclock
98:49
could potentially be get an h100i or an h110 if you want something really quiet
98:53
to do a few uh should I push pull a heat sink with two different fans
98:59
no compression lost lossy lossless
99:02
versus uncompressed files in terms of video audio photos uh uncompressed as
99:07
far as I know is I'm not really sure
99:10
what the question is yeah okay moving on um are we I think so we haven't finished
99:15
yet we're close okay okay okay is there
99:18
going to be an yes H h100i if you can fit an h100i do
99:24
an h100i anything new on NVIDIA Shadow play not that I've heard I'm excited
99:29
yeah they're still saying it's coming in the summer sometime yeah super
99:33
excited uh presumably Seagate or Western
99:36
Digital yeah yeah they probably have a really good deal
99:41
actually is the Haswell on the same line as in's extreme Edition they are using
99:45
different processor architectures um and they are they have
99:50
a different number of cores and they're on different plat forms um performance
99:55
however is pretty similar particularly for gaming not for things like 3D
99:59
rendering or more professional work pros and cons of upgrading to a 120 HZ
100:03
monitor specifically I'm a gamer go do you want like H are you going for 3D
100:08
like um this kind of a question I would throw this on the Forum because you can
100:12
get a lot more in depth than what we're going to get it to now we need to know
100:16
more of what you're doing like yes you're a gamer but we need to know like
100:19
what games what you want to do with it all that kind of stuff so I would recommend posting on the for Will and
100:23
can do a build video for around a 3,000 we aren't really planning on that right
100:26
now but I do have a call with Intel this coming week where we're going to discuss
100:30
what we're doing for our next Intel sponsored build
100:33
guide you can buy new ones apparently on
100:36
Amazon cool okay it's 230 bucks though
100:41
yeah that's not even a good deal no okay
100:44
I'm making an 8 SSD rate array should I set up a RAM dis probably not I mean you
100:50
can use um fancy cash
100:53
but I think it's still in beta or something like it's one of those things
100:56
where yeah sure go for it I do it but I still wouldn't recommend it all that
100:59
stuff is a little bit sketch right now but it's fun so whatever you want to do
101:03
well with the new consoles how much of the8 core CPU label will translate into
101:07
performance and how much is Just marketing speak I think we'll see when it comes
101:12
out it depends on how optimized the games are for multicore yeah because
101:16
these are not powerful cores nope but people are going to be they optimize
101:21
like crazy for console y I remember when um jumping back to this when they were
101:26
making mowind they had to move the data
101:29
that was going to be read more closer in the disc so it can be R
101:34
faster excuse me ah sorry will you do a
101:39
review of the h630 Yeah we actually have one sitting downstairs we just haven't
101:43
gotten around to it yet good morning from Israel hello hello good
101:49
morning do you recommend 2 670s or
101:53
single 770 780 go 780 okay agreed what
101:58
would you recommend for a sad with decent storage and good speed well I'd recommend you watch us on your computer
102:03
and not on your phone for one thing if you want to type correctly uh just uh
102:08
SSD with good storage in good speed I don't know anything from Samsung Intel
102:12
crucial um quite frankly the new Neutron GTX from Corsair is getting Ray reviews
102:18
these days there's a lot of really solid stuff right now and it's not moving
102:21
super quickly right now seates new stuff is outstanding I mean you look at how
102:25
much it's slowed down San Force SATA 3 is
102:28
still very relevant very competitive um
102:32
so yeah DDR3 ddr5 in the PS4 we already
102:35
talked about this gaming monitor 3x 23 in or 21 by9 27 in both are IPS 5
102:41
millisecond response time and both Solutions are around 600 bucks go so
102:45
wait is he doing 127 in or 3 1 21 by9
102:50
super widescreen 27 in or 32 3-in
102:53
monitors in surround remember we saw one today the
102:58
uh the Alienware one yeah I don't like
103:01
that personally you'd I would really
103:04
recommend trying to go to a store where you can see it in person I find it is
103:08
very flat whereas to be an equal distance away from the monitor you
103:13
almost bit curvature you almost need some curvature there we've seen some kind of stuff like that from I don't
103:17
remember who but they made this giant curve monitor which was realistically
103:20
three monitors right blah blah blah blah blah my friend needs to format a sparrow
103:24
s drive and Windows just won't let him format it any tools to format it um yeah
103:28
Fisk within Windows you can actually force it so uh lus oh already got that
103:34
one already got that one a few times I think can you recommend the Silverstone
103:39
ps07 or another less than greater than seven or another greater than $70 us
103:44
case make an ultimate silence build with KN to1 T balancer you know what I'm not
103:49
that familiar with the ps07 unfortunately so I'm I'm
103:54
sorry uh what does okay we already talked about that already talked about
103:58
that ASUS bamboo really he asked me what
104:01
laptop I had oh
104:05
okay suggesting okay well I think that's pretty much it thank you everyone and
104:11
good night well what we're going to do
104:14
well good night for now until after party which um I don't know how long
104:19
we'll be able to go tonight it's already 7:30 and we kind of have stuff to go do
104:25
wow yeah okay maybe we'll just we showed up really late and we went for two hours
104:30
I think we went for two hours I think so oh okay okay well thank you everyone and
104:37
good night for real this time good night
104:40
thanks for watching
