That could be a problem.
0:07
Welcome to the show. I just realized something potentially horrible. We've
0:11
got some pretty good topics this week. There's the R9 Fury Nano. I hate
0:17
you. I have had enough problems in the last half an hour. That could be
0:22
horrible, actually. Which I'm blaming Luke for it this week. He loves He loves
0:28
talking about how the show always starts when I set it starts on time when I set
0:32
it up. And I was like, "Okay, all right.
0:35
Well, then I came in. I was like, "Okay, Luke, go set up the WAN Show cuz I'm
0:39
working on a build log." And he already finished his video for the day and he's
0:44
like, "Yeah, okay." So, I come back 20 minutes before showtime and I'm like,
0:48
"The W show is not set up." And he's like, "Oh, well, Brandon was ironing the
0:52
tablecloth, so I couldn't work on it till he was done."
1:00
What? Well, I'm going to I'm going to let them
1:03
be judge, jury, and executioner over here as to as to whether as to whether
1:08
that is a good enough excuse because the the everything was actually in place. It
1:12
was just off the table and not configured. No,
1:16
to be fair, it actually was configured because of last week and I plugged
1:20
everything back in and your fancy they always work blackmagic cards obviously
1:25
didn't work. Oh, my fancy Blackmagic always No, they never work. You told me
1:30
last week you were like just plug everything into Blackmagics. They've been working for a long time now. And
1:34
this week you said the same thing and both times they didn't work. The Black Magics had been working for a long time.
1:39
That is true. But the actual problem we've run into is that our never
1:45
fail averia cards have stopped working.
1:48
I've never had the U3 work. Really? Yeah. Oh, the U3's been great for me. I
1:53
No, I've been carrying it around in my backpack. Wait, this is the U3, right? Yeah. Every time I stream on the Blade,
1:59
I'm using the U3. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's been great. The portable or
2:02
whatever it's called is the one that always works. Okay. Now, the problem with the U3 for me, it all comes back
2:08
down to freaking micro USB 3.0, it is
2:14
the worst connector on Earth. And you
2:18
know what's funny is a lot of people will run around and defend it. They'll
2:21
say, "Oh, well, you know what? It's actually rated for X number of
2:24
insertions." I don't care how many insertions it's rated for. That is
2:29
meaningless. You know how many How many insertions I'm rated for? Lots. You know
2:34
how many manufacturers ever implemented micro USB 3 on a phone? One. You know
2:40
how many times they did it? Once. Because that was enough. And actually,
2:46
most people that I know, also known as one person that I thought that was your
2:51
phone for a second. I was like, whoa. Oh, I love my phone. Whoa. Uh, the only
2:55
person I know that has that just actually uses just micro USB normal
2:58
anyways cuz they lost their cable. like, "Okay, speaking of losing your cable,
3:03
that one actually uh if you don't use the cable included in the box, I tried
3:07
literally every single other micro USB 3
3:11
cable that we have in the building uh when I was having trouble streaming two
3:15
weeks ago, and none of them, it's like
3:18
it's slightly non-standard. The contacts are slightly longer, so none of them
3:23
were deep enough to
3:26
penetrate. So, uh great topics for today, you guys. Uh, Apple's event was
3:31
this week. They announced a whack ton of stuff. It's um, it baffles me that watch
3:37
OS and watch got so much stage time with
3:40
but Linus 97% positive feedback rating.
3:44
U, so we'll talk about that more later. Also, speaking of 97% positive feedback,
3:49
AMD launched their Fury Nano to mixed
3:52
reviews. What else we got this week? Russia is working on Jurassic. Uh, well,
3:56
okay. It says Jurassic, but like not really. It's like Ice Age in real life,
4:01
right? Yeah. Mammoths. They're trying to bring a mammoth back to life. Cross it
4:04
with an elephant, blah, blah, blah. What's his name? Ray Romano. Ray Romano.
4:08
Romano. Thank you. Well, whatever. He's the voice of the mammoth. And I Oh,
4:12
yeah. Yeah. I don't remember the character's name. He Manny's annoying.
4:16
Yeah, Manny. Hey, you kind of said it, man. He's annoying. Manny. Yeah. Hey,
4:21
you kind of figured it out. I'm actually closer to the like stupid mircat thing.
4:25
It's like, speaking of stupid Nintendo, is that such is that a clear? Is that a
4:28
straight Hold on, hold on. I got to No, no, no. I got to interrupt you. That's such a good segue. I know you did really
4:32
well, but but I'm ruining it because that's how I roll. So, is Ice Age a
4:38
straight ripoff of Lion King?
4:42
No. You got your thing with tusks. You got your silly mircat. Okay.
4:48
You got your You got your big cat.
4:51
Uh-huh. Yeah. But the big cat is you got your love interest.
4:56
Okay. And you've got uh a uh a bird. Well, the
5:02
squirrel the squirrel flies around a lot.
5:05
And Zazu actually doesn't fly much. Yeah. So, well, no, he flies a fair bit.
5:12
I mean, there's that musical number just Can't wait to be king when he's not
5:15
being trampled or the Lion King. They like heal that part of the earth. They
5:20
heal the earth kind of. Yeah. Cuz when when okay when when the scar or whatever
5:26
takes over and is like bashing Simba's mom in the face and whatnot, the earth
5:31
around Pride Rock kind of dies. What's her name? All the plant life dies.
5:35
Nairobi. Nairobi. I don't remember. Is that a Is that a country? Maybe. Hold
5:39
on. Okay, so there's Simba, Nala, Mufasa. Nairobi sounds like a mouse from
5:43
Razer. What is her name? Nadala. Why is Nadala
5:49
coming to No, that's Microsoft's uh
5:57
Twitch chat's not telling me. I don't know. Twitch chat is not helping us.
6:02
Sarabi. Yeah, Sarabi. Thank you. Okay,
6:05
so what was our last topic? Our last highlight. Uh Nintendo are being butts.
6:10
Is that Nintendo's like the cutest, happiest, just most ignorant company. I
6:15
know. I know. Speedrunner. They slapped him in the face and everything sucked.
6:19
Well, they did. They more than slapped him in the face. Like, it's pretty brutal. Okay, we'll talk about it later.
6:23
Let's run the intro. Maybe that'll work this week.
6:27
Nope. Wow. Just Just click back and forth
6:30
really fast. New guest and intro and then slow down cuz you don't want to
6:34
stop it if it actually works. What are you talking about? That worked for me both times last week. That worked for
6:39
you? Yeah, because the problem is it's not actually properly loading. It's not
6:43
that the file is incorrectly targeted. Mhm. It's just that it's not properly
6:46
loading. So, so I just gave it multiple attempts to load and it worked.
6:51
Okay. Uh, so if I just find it the same one.
6:56
Why are all these intros in here? There should just be one intro. There. There
7:01
it is. Okay. I'm going to No, I'm going to delete the rest of them. I'm going to do it now. That sounds like a productive
7:05
thing to do on the W show. Yeah. I am actually I am using this WAN Show
7:11
airtime to make future WAN Show airtime better.
7:16
Yeah. Oh,
7:39
yay. Out loud. My stream just loaded.
7:42
It's been sitting there open this whole time. Our sponsors this week, OneUp
7:48
Ball. Whoa, that's a new sponsor. Yeah.
7:51
Linda.com, sponsor and Squarespace. Also, the
7:55
oldest sponsor. Yeah. I like comfortable
7:59
sponsor. Comfortable sponsor. When when Squarespace isn't sponsoring the W show,
8:03
it feels cold. It's like that's why I stay with my wife. It's comfortable.
8:10
Wow. Maybe it's a good thing that you might
8:13
be late tonight. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I I even tweeted this
8:19
morning. I was my because my I was on my way out the door and my wife's like,
8:23
"Are you going to be home on time?" And I'm like, "Yeah, as long as Wancho goes
8:28
okay." And she's like, "Okay, so you
8:32
won't be home on time?" And I'm just
8:36
like, "Bye, babe. See you later." Get
8:39
it? Later. Oh. Oh. All right. So, we
8:45
have a great show for you today, guys. Uh, we're not going to kick off right
8:50
with the the big Apple event. We're going to jump into Do we not have a
8:55
forum link for this one? Oh, that's weird. Wow. Nerds. That's weird. All
8:58
right. So, Android Authority is going to be our source for I'm going to move this
9:03
mouse over here. There's one of one of
9:06
the sources is called Android Authority. The other one is called Android Police.
9:10
Why are the Android coverages so like aggressive, totalitarian? Like I don't
9:15
understand. All right, so Google officially rolling out Android Pay
9:20
starting today with an update that you can grab the APK and get it going right
9:26
now. So this is their official competitor for Apple Pay. I love the way
9:31
that they really thought outside the box in terms of the naming for this. Yep. I
9:37
mean, they didn't want people to get confused, you know, AP AP when we were
9:43
like, "Yeah, I'm just going to pay via AP with my like
9:48
um, you know, wireless contacts, whatever."
9:53
The weird. I I was at a store in Seattle and they had like the ability to pay
9:58
with your phone, but they didn't have a chip reader.
10:02
Yeah. No, that's that's that's normal. So, for our American friends, um it it's
10:08
really funny. I was I was no idea. Yeah, I was at Burger King observing the
10:13
hilarity of their menu. Did you see that tweet I sent out? No. So, on their menu,
10:17
they've got like their soft drinks and their and their sides, you know, like
10:21
your French fries and they have freedom fries. Excuse me. And then they've got
10:25
they've got they've got your they got your burgers and then they have a small
10:30
part called salad and other
10:33
which includes the veggie burger. And I'm just like only in America is the
10:39
veggie burger more of a salad than it is a
10:43
burger. And people were giving me crap about this on Twitter. They're like well
10:47
uh it says other. And I'm like yeah but it's Burger King. There's a burger
10:51
category. There's a burger category and the veggie burger isn't in the burger
10:56
category. It's not This isn't This isn't a steakhouse. This isn't a Japanese
10:59
restaurant. Salads and other. You know
11:02
what was I even talking about? That's like having a list of sushi and then
11:06
being like, "No, that one's only avocado." So, that goes in the other
11:11
That goes in the other a or like rolls, right? Yeah. There you go. Because you
11:16
could put you could put the avocado roll outside of sushi. That would make
11:19
perfect sense. So, rolls. But it's like rolls and it's like well you know this
11:24
one is more it's got like ground beef in it so it's more of a hamburger.
11:28
So it's in with like milkshakes and other
11:33
No, you can't do you can't just make up new rules as you go along. I'd love for
11:37
someone to open a like mostly vegetarian
11:41
restaurant just so it can be the other way around. So it could be like salads
11:44
and then like I don't know something and other Yeah. So it would have like a
11:48
chicken salad, you know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, salads. Chicken salads. Um, all
11:53
right. So, it's a gradual roll out starting today. It's not available to
11:57
all of the US yet. And the Android Pay application is to fully replace the
12:02
Google Wallet app. So, you require pay
12:06
services 8.1.13 and it's available for anyone
12:10
running a KitKat 4.4 device or later.
12:14
you it's so it can support credit and debit cards from American Express,
12:19
Discover, Mastercard and Visa. So basically the ones that matter pretty
12:23
much um and while not all banks in the
12:27
US will be supporting it yet, there are some major ones on board including some
12:31
credit unions and they are expecting more and more to come on board over
12:35
time. Now, this is something that I bring up in my OnePlus 2 review that is
12:40
going to be coming out very soon, but you must have an NFC enabled smartphone.
12:46
The OnePlus 2 does not support NFC,
12:50
which is really baffling to me. Uh because not only is now Android Pay
12:55
going to be requiring NFC, I mean what Android smartphone other than the very
12:59
lowest of the lowest tier of the low NFC
13:02
hasn't had NFC not just now but for years. Oh yeah. Even things like like it
13:08
it's actually become amazingly easy for me to switch between mobile devices.
13:13
Like I used to actually not do as many phone reviews as I do now simply because
13:18
it was such a pain in the butt to get all of my information and all of my apps
13:22
and all my crap transferred. But now, thanks to things like Hangouts and
13:26
switching over to that instead of using uh apps that don't cloud sync, um thanks
13:31
to things like uh the Play Store, uh making it really easy for you to just
13:35
grab all the apps that were on your last backup of your previous phone and the
13:41
NFC transfer wizard. So, all you have to do is take your two phones, put them
13:45
together, and go enter your passwords one by one by one for all your accounts.
13:49
Boom, you're transferred. pretty much all you have to do is change your your
13:53
icons on your desktop to be in the ideal positions. It's
13:56
fantastic. Not supported on the OnePlus 2, which is just baffling. Um, what else
14:01
is there to say about There's interesting things like your credit and debit number isn't sent with your
14:05
payment. There's a secure code that isn't that code that Google will kind of
14:10
bounce around and use. So, this is much like Apple Pay. Yeah. Which is actually
14:13
really cool. I like that personally. Um, and Android Pay makes it easy to check
14:17
for suspicious activity because you can quickly check your payment history and
14:21
see where they all happened, which is awesome because credit cards suck for
14:25
that. Yep. And the other thing the other thing credit cards and cards suck for in
14:29
general is loyalty programs and rewards. Um, like I
14:35
mean I can't wait to have Apple Pay and
14:38
Android Pay in Canada for that reason alone. Like my stupid local grocery
14:44
store, Nester's Market. Ever even heard of it? Yeah. Well, yeah. Well, okay.
14:48
You're local. Whatever. Most of you, but like I hadn't. It's like rinky dink and
14:53
stupid. And many grocery stores, a Save on Foods still does this. Don't even
14:58
allow you to just give them your phone number. You actually have to carry the
15:01
stupid card. You can have an app on your phone now. You can. Yes, you can have an
15:04
app on your phone, but still stupid. And I tried to like make the app on my phone
15:09
work and I honestly couldn't. But the experience of just paying and having it
15:13
automatically track through Android Pay or Apple Pay is much much better and
15:17
will allow many of us to have thinner wallets. Yes. All right. So, let's move
15:22
on to the R9 Nano. This was originally posted on the forum by Mule. Are you
15:28
posting this in the chat? Sure. All right. Do you have it already or do you
15:31
want me to do it? I don't. You don't. I can grab it though. Just do the thing. You can grab it. You sure?
15:37
Just grab it under the table. I don't think they allow that sort of thing on Twitch. Uh, so let's go ahead and fire
15:42
up the old Well, I've got two mice in front of me, which always trips me crap
15:47
out. So, I'll fire up the PC per review done by our buddy over there, Ryan
15:52
Shrout. Um, this card this card has
15:57
generated about as much controversy as
16:01
any that I can think of over the past little while. Um, is our is our video up
16:07
on Vessel yet? Vessel. Yeah, it's up on Vessel. Okay. So, why don't you why
16:10
don't you summarize your impressions and then we'll we'll kind of talk about what
16:14
the rest of the internet thought and whether they agreed with you or not and
16:17
go from there. Okay. So, in terms of
16:20
performance, uh price performance, not very good, but
16:24
I didn't expect that from a card who's like I'm small and fast, so that's
16:29
probably fine. Um it's actual performance. So, you wouldn't expect my
16:33
performance to be good. Well, it depends on what scenario.
16:37
Okay, sorry. Go ahead. Anyways, um well, no, I wouldn't expect your performance
16:41
to be cost effective. So, you would expect me to charge a lot,
16:46
but work really well. That's a good That's fine. Anyways, so I hate this
16:52
show. So, it performed better than what
16:55
our our Fury I think I'm trying to remember off the top
16:59
of my head. I know it traded blows with the 980, which is pretty impressive. The
17:02
980 is I think about $100 cheaper, but then the 980 is like what, twice as
17:07
long, I think. So, that's actually not bad. I thought it was a really
17:11
interesting card because it's just as long as your PCI Express slot. So,
17:14
people that want to make like literally
17:17
tiny as hell computers would be able to do that because you don't have to make
17:21
it any longer than your motherboard. Uh, one thing I kind of wish they did was
17:25
make the eight pin point upwards instead of out of the card. But then there's
17:30
debate there as well because then you're making it taller instead of longer and
17:34
then it's like, okay, well, which one do you want? I kind of want taller. But I
17:38
think that's I think there's no real way to win there because this is something
17:41
that I that I actually pointed out to uh either Brandon when he was doing B-roll
17:46
or John when Brandon was doing B-roll. But what I was saying was the R9 uh Fury
17:52
Nano is actually what about a/ an inch or 3/4 of an inch shorter than our 970
17:58
Mini. Yeah. Um that that AMD is really positioning this card against as the as
18:04
the equivalent small form factor card.
18:07
And my comment was, well, hold on a second because depending on the case
18:11
configuration, these two could actually end up being the same or the NVIDIA card
18:17
could even end up being a little bit better because like you were saying, the
18:21
Nano plugs in on the end and you have to factor in that additional space taken up
18:25
by the PCI Express power connector whereas in ASUS's implementation of a of
18:30
a mini 970 has it coming out of the top.
18:34
And whether this is better or worse for you is ultimately just going to come
18:38
down to the case that you're putting it in. And to me, that really is the the
18:44
the center of the argument about the R9
18:48
Fury Nano is what computer requires this? What was
18:55
it actually made for? Did AMD run out
18:58
and make a card that no one was asking for and no one needed? Because if you
19:03
look at the way that MiniITX case design
19:07
has gone over the last uh I'd say over the last about 2 to 3 years with uh with
19:13
things like the end case coming out um things like uh that that Steam Machine
19:18
prototype that Valve was sending out. They're all designed for a full fat 10
19:24
and a half inch NVIDIA graphics card.
19:27
Like they're all that's mainly because that's all there really was. Why why why
19:31
would you make a case that can't fit graphics cards? No, no, I I get it. But
19:37
here's the other side of that is the
19:40
motherboard is only, you know, 6 in wide or whatever and the graphics card was 10
19:45
and 12 in, but we were using that other
19:49
space. That's where we're putting our drives. Uh that's where some sometimes
19:54
we're putting our power supply. So, while the R9 Fury Nano in my mind is a
20:01
product that has no place today, what I
20:05
like about it is that the Fury Nano is
20:08
the perfect card for the case that I want to exist. The Lionus Edition case,
20:13
that's what I'm saying. No one would build a case for it now because it doesn't exist yet. Exactly. So, the one
20:19
that I want is a case, and I I I pitched this to Cooler Master, and I give Nate a
20:24
hard time every time I see him that they've never made it, but I wanted
20:28
something that really was about the size of like a PS4, really small. External
20:36
power brick is okay, but the R9 Fury
20:39
Nano would be the card if we get rid of
20:43
the hard drives. So, we bail on hard drives altogether. We only use 2 and 12
20:47
in drives. The R9 Fury Nano would be the card that would actually fit if, and
20:52
they were so close on this, if they had opted for a blower type design. I'm
20:58
really, really sketched out by that
21:01
internal just scatter the air around type cooler that they went and put on
21:06
the reference card. So, you know, I I think why don't
21:11
we just why don't we hear from why don't we hear from you guys here? I'm going to
21:15
create a straw poll. I want to know R9 theory
21:20
nano failure
21:24
success cool in theory but not interested and of course
21:31
turnip and I and I really I'd like you guys to I'd like you guys to answer
21:36
pretty honestly here. I really want to hear from you because this is one of
21:39
those products where AMD is trying to
21:43
sell it not based on FPS per dollar,
21:46
which is all they've really chased for a long time now. They're trying to sell it
21:50
based on a less tangible value proposition. Like, hey, we made
21:54
something with great power consumption. Okay, yeah, it might thermal throttle a
21:58
little bit if you install it in a super tiny case, but quite frankly, what wouldn't?
22:03
Um, do you like it? So before we go
22:07
ahead and jump into the results of that straw pull, I have another one to share
22:10
with you guys. They're trying things and people hammer on them a lot for not
22:14
trying things and then they tried something and people are hammering on them for it. So like I think we kind of
22:19
need to pick one. I don't want to hate on the engineer. I mean I was I was like
22:24
right on board when NVIDIA was launching cards like the GTX 590 and cramming two
22:30
580s essentially in 6 in each. I mean, if you if you really think about it,
22:34
that's what AMD has done here. They've done the engineering work for a dual GPU
22:38
card and then they cut off the back. Nope.
22:43
They cut off the second GPU. Um, have
22:46
they laid the groundwork perhaps for a a Fury X2? I kind of hope so, cuz it it
22:53
looks like that's pretty much what they've done. But, uh, you know, you have to respect the engineering that
22:57
goes into something like that. So, does it trip you out that we're wearing the
23:01
same shirt? 35% of you say yes, 21% of
23:04
you say no, and 44% of you have thrown away your vote. Um, you know what's
23:10
really funny about the whole vote for turnup thing? Yes. Is those shirts
23:13
started shipping right around the time that Donald Trump started really making
23:19
headlines. And every time I see a vote for turnip
23:24
shirt when someone tweets it at me or whatever, it really does feel like
23:28
mocking Trump's presidential campaign.
23:31
Does it not? Are we not supposed to have some? Um, we never No, we never got
23:35
samples of that. But then I forgot to order mine this time and I actually sent
23:41
Teespring after the campaign was over. I was like, "Hey, um, so it's kind of my
23:46
campaign. Can I still get one?" And they actually sent me not one but three
23:51
mediums. Sorry. So, I'm giving one to Austin when he shows up tomorrow. And uh
23:56
and then I don't know what to do with the other one. Maybe we'll next time we have a meet up or something, I'll bring
24:00
it along. Or maybe I won't. Oh, yeah. This is a great topic. Austin lands
24:06
tomorrow. So, without without teasing too much, Austin and I are going to be
24:11
working on a collab video tomorrow that's going to be kind of a lowkey
24:16
small project. And then Monday, Tuesday,
24:20
Wednesday, next week we are filming. So not Thursday. What? Not Thursday. Good
24:26
job. Cool. Everything's fine.
24:32
Okay. So, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, next week, we are filming Scrapyard Wars
24:38
3, and it is going to be a three-way
24:41
between me, Luke, and Austin for your
24:44
viewing pleasure. Oh my god, there's gonna be so many
24:48
jokes about that. Who's going to be in the middle during the
24:55
You guys won't get that till later, but someone's going to be in the middle for
24:58
sure at one point in time. All right, so that's going to be great. Let's go ahead
25:02
and check out the results of our other straw pull. Kind of hope it's me.
25:09
You know, I think I lack the hand eye
25:12
coordination to play the middle.
25:16
I've never been like a great dancer and I think I used to be in dancing. You'd
25:21
have to have like pretty good, you know, rhythm, if you know what I mean.
25:30
All right. Oh my god. Um, so let's go ahead and screen share with me. R9 Fury
25:35
Nano. Wow. 57% of you cool in theory not
25:40
interested with another 8% of you. So, it's a total of 65% of you saying either
25:45
not interested or failure and 16% of you
25:49
saying success. And the funny thing about that those numbers is that if we
25:53
extrapolate and blend the turnup results
25:56
proportionally into the other numbers, that's pretty much the NVIDIA to AMD
26:00
market share. Yeah.
26:03
So, is it is it that AMD fans are interested or is it that should we do an
26:07
NVIDIA AMD poll? I I to see what our
26:10
audience is because that market share isn't necessarily
26:16
properly applied to our viewership. No. No. So there could be a higher AMD
26:20
percentage. It might not represent our community, which is which is a very
26:24
which is very interesting because that market share is largely what what is
26:27
that? The Steam pole that that's based off of. Uh no, I think that's like like
26:33
reporting data blah blah blah. Oh wow. Okay. Well, still it's like a real
26:37
thing. Still, a lot of those people like say you bought a pre-built or it's still
26:42
technically a pre-built if like NCX builds it for you. So, say you bought
26:46
one of those. Wouldn't more of their systems that they're doing be NVIDIA
26:49
systems? Someone like NCIX? Yeah. Um
26:53
like if if they're offering like a this is our preconfigured build that you can
26:56
buy. Are more of those NVIDIA based? you know, back when I was doing it, um,
27:03
generally speaking, we tried to keep it
27:06
pretty balanced. Okay. Um, and not not
27:10
balanced like in terms of of market share, proportional market share, but we
27:16
tried to keep it pretty balanced in that we tried to offer an AMD or an NVIDIA
27:22
graphicsbased system at each sort of tier. Okay. I'm not sure how they do it
27:27
now. I'm just wondering if there's more spotlight on it. So, if someone was just
27:31
randomly like, "Oh, I'm gonna build the gaming PC." I can I what I can say is
27:37
that NVIDIA, what can I say without saying
27:42
too much? What I'll say is that NVIDIA really has their crap together marketing
27:47
wise. So, if there was someone that we were going to collaborate with on like a
27:52
special edition painted green PC and we wanted to cross-promote and and and
27:57
coordinate a marketing campaign with back then, which is two and a half years
28:01
ago, very outdated knowledge. Someone has a good point. They have both. Who
28:06
both? Yeah. Uh, pick your daily driver rig. Come on, make this easy on us. And
28:10
he said specifically discrete graphics. Yeah, I did specifically say discrete
28:14
graphics. I could make the argument that I'm running Intel graphics on this
28:18
laptop, but come on. Yeah. Come
28:21
on. Come on. We need Nikki V. Yeah, we
28:25
need Nikki V over here to tell you guys what's up with No, we don't. We do not
28:29
need Nikki V. Come on. Yes, that was
28:32
great. Favorite part of W show 2015. It was
28:36
better than mine. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Much better, actually. All right.
28:40
So, 68% of you are saying NVIDIA with 28% of you AMD and 4% of you gaming on
28:46
the Xbox. Um, so could we live without 4% of our
28:52
audience? Probably. I think we could. Yeah. Um, but like this this this shows
28:56
a higher percentage. Just kidding. Just kidding. This shows a higher percentage.
28:59
So that means that I guess some of the AMD guys weren't as interested in the
29:04
Nano, but that's not surprising because even though small form factor is getting
29:08
much more popular lately, it's still not as popular
29:13
stuff. You guys can correct me. You guys can correct me if I'm wrong, but would
29:17
it be totally unfair for me to say that among the sort of the the higher tier
29:23
tech enthusiast community, so I'm not just talking the typical average gamer
29:28
who's going to walk into Best Buy and buy a graphics card. I'm talking the guys who are who who care about this
29:33
show and us discussing who has more graphics card market share.
29:38
Basically, what's happening that kind of thing? I mean, that's the kind of show you're tuned into. Deal with it. Um, but
29:43
would it be safe to say that amongst that crowd, there would be more people
29:47
making a graphics card decision based on something like, "Well, gee, I'd sure
29:52
like AMD to survive. Would I be willing to give up 5% FPS or would I be willing
29:57
to give up Gamestream or CUDA or whatever NVIDIA feature might sway you?
30:02
Would I be willing to give that up and support AMD to try and get them through
30:06
the hard times? Cuz it's hard times over there, guys. Yeah, like the word on the
30:10
street is upwards of 20% of their company was just basically bought. Um,
30:18
so they got a cash infusion out of it, but they no longer own fabs. They no
30:22
longer own like a freaking whack ton of
30:26
their company stock. And they just spun
30:29
off the graphics division as Radeon graphics business unit or or something
30:33
along those lines with uh um just making
30:36
ATI again. Ah, I loved ATI. I don't know why
30:41
I just did. Very few of those people are still there. I know. I hope you know
30:44
that. I know. Okay. It's just a It's just an emblem at this point. Okay.
30:50
I also back in my fanboy days. You know what's funny? I have a lot of people
30:55
accuse me of being a fanboy. I had fanboy days. I had fanboy days. I did. I
31:00
am no longer a fanboy because I I was an ATI fanboy. I was an ATI. Other than
31:04
that, I didn't really care. But I was ATI fan. I am so I am so jaded now that
31:10
everything that comes across my desk is
31:14
plastic and metal and if it doesn't impress me, I don't care if the Pope
31:18
made it. It I I it doesn't it doesn't matter. But in my fanboy days, this is
31:23
something I rarely talk about. I was an
31:27
AMD ATI fanboy. I had AMD processors
31:31
from X2. Yeah, boy. Actually, I put
31:35
those in so many computers. The Athlon X2 4400 Plus was the most that I ever
31:42
spent of my own hard-earned money. And I worked hard for that money. I painted
31:46
houses. Okay, that was the most of my
31:50
hard-earned money that I have ever spent on a single computer component. I spent
31:55
$750 or $800 on a 4,400 plus on the
32:00
launch day because yeah, on launch day I
32:04
went to NCX Burnaby. Well, first I called up my sales guy, Mr. Xenon. I
32:11
called him up representing NCX Bernabby
32:14
OG. Called up Xenon. I said, "Zenon, do
32:17
you have stock of the 4,400 plus?" He goes, "Yeah, but why would you want
32:20
that? That's so expensive." He's a good sales guy. He He was He was looking out
32:25
for my interest. Okay. I'm like, "Zenon, man, you don't understand. This is a
32:30
dual core. It's an Athlon
32:33
64, but two of them. This is not some
32:37
hyperthreading nonsense. This is like
32:41
two CPU cores, man." And he's like,
32:44
"Okay, I'll put it aside for you." I drove right down there. I picked that
32:49
sucker up, got myself a new motherboard.
32:52
Man, that felt good. And it was great.
32:56
But it was not about the fact that it was made by AMD. It was about the fact
33:01
that it was an amazing piece of technology. So, even in my AMD fan days
33:05
when I was rocking the All-in-One Wonder 9600 Pro, which I upgraded to an X800
33:11
Pro, which I upgraded to an X850 XT, I
33:14
was a little bit of a I was a little bit of a an upgrade every generation sort of
33:20
guy back then. Um,
33:23
and that's when generations were fast. Did I ever tell you about my story of uh
33:27
buying the computer built and then taking it all apart and building it again? No. Um, I I shopped around for a
33:33
really long time for deals because I was a kid and there wasn't the cash flow
33:37
wasn't high. So, I had enough money and like this was basically what I had.
33:42
There wasn't like a work for a another month and then you'll get it. It was
33:46
like work for another month and you'll have 10 more dollars. Like, no, this was
33:49
it. So, I shopped around for a really long time getting all the deals that I could, the best deals that I could, even
33:53
like trying to negotiate on the phone. And I got one place to finally do it,
33:57
but they had super super wanted to bundle in the pre-build thing, but it
34:01
was like 25 bucks and it still ended up
34:04
being cheaper total than anywhere else. Was that Addict Computers? I think so.
34:08
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I was like, "Okay, sure." They did it. I took it home. I
34:12
took the whole thing apart, put it all back together, and then ran that way.
34:17
So, I actually had uh I actually bought
34:20
one of the components for my first hilarious. I know. They charge $25 for
34:24
assembly. They were the only store in that time that was charging $25 for
34:28
assembly. And let me tell you, I've seen computers they assembled. You got your
34:33
$25 worth. That's why I took it apart. Yeah. It was not It was not that great.
34:37
Uh my first computer, I actually bought one component at Attic Computers, the
34:42
hard drive, and I had to make a tough choice for myself. I either was going to
34:46
get the 120 gig drive with the 2meg
34:50
cache, okay? or the 80 gig drive with
34:54
the 8meg cache. Oh, they were the same price. Did I want 50% more capacity?
34:59
Bearing in mind that to me 80 gigs was
35:02
like like my computer literally had like
35:06
a 600 megabyte hard drive in it at that point. And I think I had like like a 900
35:11
megabyte D drive or like something obscene. Like I had less than I had less
35:15
than one and a half gigs of overall storage. I was running a P90. Okay. like
35:21
it was sad or like a 133, whatever. It
35:24
was like it was some it was some sadness. And um and and just to just put
35:29
that in the proper perspective, I was running a Pentium 1 at the at a time
35:35
when I was my first computer that I built for myself. I bought a 2500 plus
35:39
Barton core. Okay, so like that was some outdated stuff. I was like, "Yay, I can
35:45
play Age of Empires 2 now."
35:49
Um, where was I going with this? Right.
35:52
So, I walked out the door with the 120 gig drive and I went, "No, 80 gigs is
35:58
enough. I want the extra cash." I walked back in with the sealed drive. Those
36:02
bastards charged me a 15% restocking fee. Oh my god. On a sealed product. You
36:07
did it, too? I did it. I wanted the cash. I wanted the cash. I wanted the
36:11
cash. And I paid the cash to get the cash. Oh my goodness. What the hell are
36:16
we even talking about? What is this show? We were talking about fanboyism
36:19
and how we both used to be ATI fans. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Cuz I was like a I was
36:23
a pretty hard ATI fan. I used to keep all the like I'd sell the graphics card
36:28
but keep the box cuz I thought the box art was so cool. I probably have
36:32
pictures of my box nook. Okay. So,
36:35
you've never seen the old house I used to live in. Um, but out in the boondocks
36:40
of Maple Ridge, I was the only one who who had a room in the basement because
36:45
my older sister is an idiot and didn't take the basement room. I was like, "You
36:51
enjoy your attic that if you want to come home late at night, you have to
36:55
walk past mom and dad's room, pull down
36:59
the ladder." Oh, wow. And walk up. She fell out of that attic multiple times.
37:04
Okay. Like we're talking you're an idiot. It
37:09
was boiling hot in the summer. Like okay, whatever. Anyway, as a second
37:14
child, I managed to score the basement bedroom. It's a good move. The one thing
37:18
I had to contend with was the TV. Okay.
37:21
And this was back in the days when families only had one TV, and that TV
37:25
was a CRT TV, and my hearing was pretty sensitive in the high range. I could
37:29
hear I could hear the scanning gun um
37:33
firing the electrons and that was pretty obnoxious actually through the wall for
37:36
me and my mom was always watching Dennis
37:40
what's his stupid name and he's actually Dennis Miller always watching Dennis
37:45
were like asking Dennis what the name was I wouldn't ask Dennis anything um
37:50
she was always watching Dennis Miller live and it was late at night and I was
37:54
like mother go to bed or put the TV
37:57
somewhere anyway so that was the only issue I had to contend with. So, we
38:00
actually had a downstairs kitchen. The whole downstairs had a separate entrance
38:04
from the back and it was set up as a full suite.
38:08
So, both the upstairs and downstairs had access to the laundry room easily and it
38:12
had a full downstairs kitchen that we hadn't used in years. Um, so I actually
38:16
set up my gaming rig in the like bay
38:20
window equivalent to the bay window upstairs in the dining room. Yeah. And I
38:25
had on the Windows. So, we had our basement set up. So it was about 3 to
38:30
four feet out of the ground so you could have natural light in the basement. I had all the Windows covered with boxes
38:35
of motherboards, graphics cards, CPUs,
38:39
power supplies, the works. It was awesome. That's cool. And that was when
38:43
I was running like my like I think every
38:46
computer geek runs this side business thinking like I'm going to be the next
38:51
system builder. Yeah. and they buy parts with the like discount at the local
38:56
store and then they find friends and relatives and I did pretty okay with
39:01
that. Me too. Me too. I was good at it.
39:04
But um so obviously I had more parts and it's a great way to get games. Got to
39:08
try to sell people cases and fans, man. Got to convince them they need that
39:12
nicer case and they need all the fans. But I never sold anyone an expensive
39:18
cable. Not once. No. Because there's actual value to a better case in there
39:22
is actual value to cooling fans. There
39:26
is no value to a fancy HDMI cable. No, I'm sorry to all those who make fancy
39:31
HDMI cables. Yeah. Um I don't know what
39:35
we're talking about. Why don't we You know what? Why don't we jump right into the Apple event and then we'll do
39:39
sponsors or something like that. So, this was posted by Alex goes high on the
39:43
forum. I'm going to go ahead and screen share
39:46
with you guys. Apple special event. They
39:50
actually built this auditorium basically the entire thing. Oh no, no, no, no.
39:55
That's when like just you shouldn't have that much money. Just go away. They
40:00
bought like they they legit straight up bought stadium seating and installed it
40:05
to do this enormous live event. Uh this is a completely custom custom screen and
40:11
all that stuff. And you know what's really funny is the press
40:16
Wow. Wow. Wow. Autoplay. Yay. The press
40:20
that covers Apple products just blows my
40:23
mind. I'm not going to name any names, but I was just like I was I was reading
40:27
up some some on some blogs and you know getting other people's thoughts on some
40:31
of the stuff before we did WAN Show today. And this one blogger who's
40:36
talking about the event goes on for so
40:39
long about how much better it was than
40:44
previous events and how it like restored his faith in Tim Cook's ability to lead
40:49
the company and how Apple can function without jobs. understand the religious
40:53
fanaticism and I'm just like I beg your
40:57
pardon. Who cares? Yeah. Why do we give
41:01
a [ __ ] Yeah. Quite frankly, that's what I mean. Like I don't understand that
41:04
side of it. It
41:10
the it comes down to not being a fanboy.
41:15
Yeah. Look at it for what it is. Does it
41:18
matter to me that this wallet is made by
41:21
I don't even know
41:25
Swiss gear. I don't know who my wallet is made by, but I know it has like a new
41:28
Schwanstein stamp on it. No cool. What matters is how many cards it holds, how
41:33
robust it was it is. Incidentally, this one has held together incredibly well
41:38
for me. Not that Swiss gear is, you know, a sponsor or anything, but I
41:41
figure if I'm going to talk about it and evaluate it, then I might as well say
41:45
what it is. And like that's it. Does it
41:48
does it have a style that appeals to you? Great. It doesn't matter that
41:53
someone got on stage and told me about it in a really pleasing way. Grow up.
41:59
Anyway, some of the worst presenter like Okay, people are going to shoot me in
42:05
the foot for this, but like I think you shoot yourself in the foot. I think
42:08
people shoot you in the face if they don't like you. Okay, both. I'll shoot
42:11
myself in the foot while other people are shooting me in the face. Um Elon
42:14
Musk is like in a traditional sense not
42:18
that good of a presenter because he'll pause for very long periods of time and
42:23
not because he's like pausing for impact but because he's pausing because he's
42:28
formulating what he's going to say. Um
42:33
what are you doing? This has been driving me crazy all show. It's reflective. Oh, there you go. Um and
42:39
some people insult him for this because they're like, "Oh, he's slow. He's taking too long." I and many other
42:43
people think it's because he's just trying to see what he's going to say
42:47
from a bunch of different angles so that he doesn't say something incorrectly.
42:51
Um, but like he's not a traditionally
42:55
great presenter, right? I like his presenting style because it feels more
42:59
authentic, but he's not like the showman that you got out of Steve Jobs. Yep. Um,
43:07
that doesn't matter at all. No, you should buy a Tesla car because you think
43:12
it's a great piece of technology at a fair price. I can't Some police
43:16
department is getting a whole bunch of Model S's really idling, right?
43:22
Oh, that's so much sense. They will last so much longer. Not to mention they're
43:26
they're like fuel efficiency and they're fast. Yep. That's very interesting. That
43:32
would be the first police department. I don't remember who is it in the dock. If
43:35
I was on my bike and I saw flashing lights, I would actually have to go, can
43:39
I outrun this? No, seriously. A Tesla Model S can do
43:44
almost the same 0 to 60 as my bike. The acceleration is obscene. Yeah. Um police
43:50
vehicle. Not that I condone running from the police. Uh at all to be very clear.
43:56
It's just Yeah, apparently it was the LAPD. Thank you, Nick. There we go.
44:00
Yeah, that's pretty sick. And P85Ds. So
44:03
that's like the dual motor like insane ones. Sick.
44:07
Nuts. Anyways, I'll All right. So, why don't we actually talk about the Apple event for a little bit here? So, the
44:12
iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, how unpredictable
44:15
was that? Are going to be released on September 25th. The 2-year contract
44:20
rates are $1.99 for a 16 gig phone. That
44:23
is such a huge Why do we even still have those? Thank you. That is the question
44:28
we should all be asking. Apple. The
44:31
first iPhone had a 16 gig model. That
44:35
was what 8 years ago. Are you freaking
44:39
kidding me? Like the base model should be that 64 gig one. It it's just it's
44:44
the the the Okay, the difference in price. So, let's let's go let's go let's
44:49
go way back in time. Oh, fun. Let's go to the way way back machine. Let's have
44:54
a look at ncx.com.
44:58
uh back in what would it what would it be like 2007? I have no idea. I can look
45:03
up the original launch date of the first iPhone. Yeah. So, let's go let's go back
45:06
to 2007 and let's see if we can find
45:09
something in their weekly special here. I'm going to I'll screen share with you guys. 2007 June 29th. Here we go. All
45:14
right. So, what kind of tech relics will we find? I love how the site is like the
45:19
same and the banner style is the same. Like this this is honestly probably
45:23
better than what we're currently dealing with. Uh no, this is still Tom. Tom was
45:26
doing the banners back then. No, I'm not saying the banner is better. I mean the general layout. This looks actually
45:31
easier to deal with. I have nothing to say about that. Okay. So, back then. So,
45:35
so okay. So, are we getting two gigs of RAM with the iPhone
45:38
6s? Can you find that out while I go ahead and look at some of this pricing?
45:42
So, back then 2 gigs of memory cost you
45:46
$283. Back then, a 24in widecreen cost
45:50
$890. Oh my. Um, but what I really want is a
45:55
320 Gigabyte hard drive. Is that an original G15? Yeah, that's the G15. If
46:00
it cost that much, I would buy it now. I would buy so many of them at 8925. So, a
46:05
320 gig hard drive costs
46:09
$130. And it looks like an
46:12
SSD, excuse me, doesn't even merit a
46:16
spot on the front page. Are you kidding me? Huh?
46:21
Okay. Well, we might actually have to go not quite as far back. Let's try let's
46:26
try August 2008, shall we? Or apparently
46:29
two gigs of RAM.
46:33
Uh, what? Apparently, it is two gigs. Okay, so they finally they finally given
46:38
us two gigs of RAM. All right, let's go ahead see if we can find an SSD here.
46:43
OCZ Game Extreme.
46:47
Jeez, I thought like the X25M or like
46:51
one of those cheapo stupid like when did all of that happen? Did that not happen
46:56
till much later? I So, is this just a
47:00
matter of Apple giving us far too much early on and now we don't appreciate the
47:05
generosity of their of their 16 gigs of onboard storage? No, let's only has one
47:09
gig. I I don't know. I just Googled it. It says that.
47:15
Yeah, I think there's still some uh I think there's still some debate. I don't
47:19
know if they've actually confirmed it. No, GSM Arena is saying two gigs of RAM.
47:22
I've seen a lot of rumors that it's that it's two gigs of RAM. So, I would uh I
47:26
would actually believe that. This is taking way longer than I had hoped.
47:30
There we go. Okay. So, in
47:35
200 n Wow. Eight. 200. No. What is this?
47:42
Damn it. Whatever. So, at this point in time, you could get 64 gigs of SSD
47:47
storage for $240. Since that
47:53
time, 20 $240. Can you can you run the
47:56
numbers on this? Since that time, I have no idea what I'm doing. Um, so, so, uh,
48:02
60. So, dollars, uh, gigs, gigs per dollar, dollars per gig. Dollars per
48:05
gig. So, 240 divided by 64. Yeah. Okay.
48:09
So, now you can buy a two terbte Samsung
48:12
drive. 75. All right. So, that's three
48:15
$3.75 a gig. All right. So, you can buy a two terbyte Samsung drive. You know,
48:20
let's look at the one tab. I think that's a better cost per gig. That's
48:23
about the same actually. So, uh $480
48:27
for 1,024 or 1,000, whatever. We're rough
48:32
numbers. Rough numbers here.
48:35
Two 37. No, you ran the numbers the
48:38
other way. What? It's 50 cents a gig.
48:41
It's not two. It's two. It's two gigs per dollar. Whatever the point is. So
48:46
three, what was it? 3.75. This is not a math show. Okay. To be honest, you told
48:52
me in that order. So it hasn't fallen. So I was looking for memory. It is 17th
48:57
the price today. Apple could literally be giving us seven
49:05
times the storage of the original iPhone
49:08
at the same price as they would have had to pay at that time. And I know that
49:14
doesn't factor in changing market conditions and blah blah blah blah blah
49:17
blah blah blah blah blah blah. So let's say five
49:22
times 128 gigs should be baseline today.
49:26
64 gigs should be like that's the value model, but a premium device like an
49:32
iPhone should not even have a 16 gig
49:35
model. It's embarrassing. Uh, so what else do we
49:39
have to say about it? So, the 2 Gigabyte spec for memory on the 6S is and six is
49:46
based off of a Apple employee in a
49:49
Reddit comment. Oh, okay. So, basically
49:53
unsubstantiated. Yes. Got it. Okay. So, let's talk let's talk the rest of it.
49:56
So, you pay another hundred bucks, you get 64 gigs. At least they've done away
49:59
with the 32 gig model, although that 199 one should be 32 gigs, but I think we
50:03
all know the reason they're doing this is because they don't want you buying that one because 16 gigs really isn't
50:08
enough anymore when you get 128 gigs for another $100 over that. The 6S Plus is
50:14
basically $100 more across the board for the slightly bigger screen, and you get
50:18
some additional benefits. So, the 6S Plus, once again, is the only one to
50:23
feature optical image stabilization. So, the 6S does not have
50:29
that particular feature. Uh, they're both using the new 64bit or actually, I
50:34
don't think it is new, is it? Whatever. It's an A9 chip, not the A9 Plus that
50:39
we're going to see in the new iPad Pro. So, it's an A9 chip with an M9 motion
50:43
co-processor. Um, they finally shoot 4K
50:46
video. Finally. With that said, I don't
50:50
necessarily think that Apple's been behind the eightball on the whole 4K
50:53
video thing. Yeah, that's actually a problem. Is that
50:59
That's the neighbors.
51:02
Um, do you mind going and asking them like really nicely to turn it down a
51:06
bit? Yeah. You know what it is? They're in their boat. They're in their boat. I
51:11
saw them yesterday sitting in their They're way too baller. They're sitting
51:15
in the speedboat. Why don't they sit in a speedboat in the water? Why don't they
51:18
take the speedboat out? Yeah. I don't know. It's beautiful today. Um Um
51:25
So it seems okay now. Okay. Snoop Dogg
51:29
turned the beat down for us. Okay. So So
51:32
anyway, um sorry. So the six the uh the
51:36
the 6S Plus once again is the only one
51:39
that features optical image stabilization, which is kind of a bummer
51:42
for people with small hands. And they both now have 3D touch or force touch by
51:48
another name. Actually, this same Apple blogger, and I'm probably revealing too
51:52
much now. If that person is watching, which I'm sure they're not, um, they're
51:56
they're going to know who I'm talking about, but compared 3D Touch to
52:01
shortcuts on a
52:04
keyboard. No, it's a right click. Only
52:08
an Apple user would not recognize this as a right click. You access hidden
52:13
menus. Okay, that's brutal. That's not a keyboard shortcut. That's a That's a
52:17
right click. I'm sorry. It's kind of a arguably a mouse shortcut. I'm sorry
52:23
you've gone without right click for so many years. Welcome to
52:30
2015. Uh, what else do I have to say here? Uh, the FaceTime camera is 5
52:35
megapixels. There's a new color, rose gold. I will be doing an iPhone 6S
52:40
review. I have requested that Dbrand send me over the rose gold model. So, is
52:44
this definitely happening call this? It's not metal. So, I don't know. I
52:48
would call this like a copper. I'd call that like a copper color. Not rose
52:52
goldy. Yeah. Yeah, I'd call that copper. So, is rose gold more gold colored? Uh,
52:56
rose gold? No, it's pink. Oh, wow. Yeah, it's just a fancy name for pink. Yeah, I
53:00
want the pink one. Um, so the the last thing is they feature their Taptic
53:05
Engine now. So basically it's it's way
53:08
way better vibration and that's what enables them to do things like their 3D
53:12
touch. Uh then the shape of the iPhone. I really don't think you want to you
53:17
know you only got to get the one point. That's like So the iPad Pro is coming.
53:21
Uh 32 gigs is $7.99.
53:26
Wow. Rough. 128 gigs is $9.49 and the
53:30
128 gig with cellular data is over 1,000.
53:34
It features a 12.9 in retina display, although that is one high resolution 5.6
53:40
megapixel display. It features 10 hours of battery life, an 8 megapixel eyesight
53:44
camera. Although this is going to be a whole new level of of what what are they
53:50
called? Pad holes. Pad holes. Yeah. I mean, taking a photo with an iPad.
53:54
Walking around with a 13in device. Someone at Pax Prime that is basically
53:59
this. Okay.
54:02
Someone at PAX Prime wanted to take a selfie with me with an iPad and
54:07
apologized probably like five times. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And he was right to do
54:11
so. Right to do so. Um, it features
54:16
their third generation 64-bit A9X chip.
54:20
Uh, it's got AC wireless with MIMO blah blah blah blah blah blah. Touch ID is a
54:25
nice thing to have. The keyboard accessory. Yeah, the keyboard accessory
54:29
is straight out of Microsoft's playbook. Oh my goodness. And the amazing thing
54:33
with that is someone made a web comic. I retweeted this, so you can check that
54:36
out if you're interested, but someone made a web comic basically going uh like
54:41
people were hammering on uh Microsoft for their touch cover kind of thing. And
54:46
then I think the web comic said that
54:49
like, oh, you guys say it's stupid now, but you'll have it in three years. And I
54:53
think it's exactly three years later and they now have it. Here we go. Yeah. Here
54:57
we go. So, the uh the the credit here
55:00
goes to uh Joel
55:03
Watson. Here we go. So, we've got uh
55:07
Steve Balmer no longer in the picture. We call it the Surface. Boo. Your iPad
55:12
sucks. It's not an iPad. It's a Surface.
55:16
Suck my surface. The surface of my Well, that's the dword, but uh anyway, so he's
55:21
like, it's got a kickstand. Your iPad still sucks. And that this is so funny
55:27
is like WWDC 2015. So he's off by like
55:31
what? Six months. Yeah. We call it the Smart Cover Touch and we think you're
55:35
going to love it. You invented that? Yes, we did.
55:40
Fantreingastic. I love it. With that said, I'm not going to give Apple too
55:45
much crap about, you know, um I just
55:49
think the comic's funny. Yeah. copying copying the idea of uh you know folding
55:55
keyboard or whatever. It's not like these haven't existed for an awful long
55:58
time. No, no, no, no. I just thought the comic was funny. Yeah, they they've
56:01
they've kind of stolen crap before obviously, but to be fair, all of these
56:04
big companies have. Look at how Microsoft started. And Microsoft didn't
56:09
invent the idea of a lowprofile freaking
56:12
folding keyboard anyway. It's not like anyone can really take credit for that
56:16
at this point anyhow. Well, someone can, but it won't be Microsoft and it won't
56:19
be Apple. Um, it's just it's just funny that the that the timing is so great and
56:24
the reaction from people is so is so
56:27
funny and Microsoft doesn't seem to mind. They're going to be bringing the
56:30
full full Office support to the iPad Pro. And speaking of support for things
56:35
that Apple Yeah, I know. Uh, speaking of support for things that Apple has has
56:40
traditionally not supported, they're finally giving us a stylus. The pencil.
56:45
Yeah. So, it's going to have all the usual the usual stylus stuff, tilt
56:51
pressure. Um, it's $100, which is
56:55
that's actually pretty Wow, that is the Apple tax on a whole other level.
57:00
Um, but it really feels like this is
57:06
Apple in a nutshell. Many bloggers and
57:09
I've actually the sty the stylus was the one I'm not calling it a pencil. The
57:13
stylus is the one that a lot of people I think are missing the point of. The
57:19
stylus to me summarizes what Apple is in
57:22
a nutshell. And I've seen a lot of people focusing on the professional
57:26
applications of a tool like the Apple Pencil, their stylus, saying, "Okay,
57:31
well, this enables this turns the iPad Pro into a a truly professional tool."
57:36
To which I say, Codswall. It turns the
57:39
iPad the iPad Pro. What? Codswall.
57:43
That's a word. It's just Yeah, it is.
57:46
Yes. Okay. So, what it turns the iPad
57:49
Pro into is Apple's typical
57:53
MMO is convincing casuals that they're
57:57
professionals because it's not a professional tool. You know what a
58:01
professional tool is? Is the Waycom Windows tablet that is a professional
58:07
tool. You know what a professional tool is? sort of the Surface Pro 2 before
58:12
Microsoft did away with the proper digitizer in the screen. Those are
58:18
professional tools. Professional tools are ones that are able to run the full
58:23
version of Adobe's Creative Suite. And
58:26
the iPad Pro could have been a cool product, but it's running iOS. So
58:32
ultimately, it's a doodle pad for cool
58:36
kids. To be fair, Microsoft is full support for Office to the iPad Pro and
58:40
Adobe is going to be supporting some Typekit compatible apps, although it's
58:44
not clear what. It could be Illustrator.
58:49
So, we'll see. Yeah, we'll see. Because
58:53
I've called Apple products stupid before and I've been proven that people will
58:57
buy it or it's been I've been pro I was
59:00
going to say I've been proven wrong and I changed mids sentence because I still don't think I'm wrong.
59:05
So, I've been proven that uh like I I
59:08
still think the I This is This is kind
59:11
of funny because it's almost like we've all admitted now that the iPad was dumb.
59:16
The iPad 1 I called it dumb. A lot of people called it dumb. I called it and I
59:21
don't know if anyone else called it this, but I called it the uncarryable device because it's too big for a pocket
59:27
and too small to justify carrying around a backpack. If I'm going to carry a
59:30
backpack, I might as well put something useful in it like this, which can do
59:33
both. Exactly. Like sometimes and not that convertibles existed at the time,
59:38
but that didn't change the fact that they were getting there. It didn't
59:41
change the fact that the iPad 1 was the uncarryable device. It's the device that
59:46
makes no sense. There's nowhere to put it if I'm not holding it. And we've all
59:50
acknowledged this now. The iPad Mini is here. I never touch my fullsize iPad 2
59:56
anymore. Not because Apple hasn't done a great job of supporting it. Not because
60:00
it doesn't still run nice and snappy and run all the apps I need, but because
60:03
it's just just big and bulky and stupid. If I want something this big, I'll get a
60:06
laptop. Yeah. Not to mention that iPad full sizes are so expensive that you
60:13
might as well pick up something with a keyboard on it. I I used your iPad 2 for
60:16
a long time and it was great. But the only reason why it was great was because
60:21
I gave my laptop to my dad and point two
60:25
is it was a glorified Hearthstone machine. That was it. The only thing I
60:29
did on it was play Hearstone. So, if you want to pay like a gratuitous amount of
60:32
money to play Hearthstone, I mean, go ahead. Uh, there was some other stuff.
60:37
Uh, Apple Watch and Watch OS. Apple is claiming an incredible 97% customer
60:42
satisfaction. Did they factor me in? Was I included in the survey? Maybe you were
60:46
the entire 3% didn't survey that many people. I I straight up I straight up
60:50
spent what was it like $800 or whatever on an Apple Watch to do my review. If
60:55
you guys think for a second that if I
60:58
spend money on a review
61:01
device and I like it, if you think I'm not going to keep using it, you got
61:06
another thing coming. That thing sits on a shelf in a box because not I nor
61:12
anyone else at Linus Media Group has expressed any interest in using it on a
61:15
day-to-day basis. It's that bad. And I even wear a smartwatch. Ed
61:20
wears a smartwatch. Do we have any iPhone users though? Yes,
61:25
Dennis. But then Dennis is Maybe Dennis doesn't know what it is. Dennis is too
61:29
shy. Where's Dennis? Oh, poor Dennis. Uh, what else we got here? There's a new
61:33
Apple TV or something. People still watch TV. Uh, one kind. But you can
61:40
watch Netflix through it, right? But do you need to spend 15? Hold on. Hold on.
61:45
Siri is integrated with it and you can search Netflix with Siri, which Android
61:49
TV cannot do. Does it even support 4K yet? I don't know.
61:55
Question. I have no idea. Not that it actually matters. You can
61:59
buy things through it. Um specs, no 4K
62:04
video streaming support for upcoming. That's a rumor. Okay, so here's the
62:08
thing. Yes, it's a Netflix box, which is great. Siri support, A+ for that. But
62:15
how much is a Shield console? Same price, I think. Yeah, I think it's
62:19
$1.99. Buy now. Let's Let's look this
62:22
up. I can't remember. You reviewed that. You're supposed to know. Yeah, $1.99 for a Shield console. I said the same price.
62:27
I think it comes with a game controller.
62:30
It streams at 4K. It has all this stuff
62:34
that Apple is claiming is amazing, like voice control. It comes with a sleek
62:38
little aluminum remote. And it's a pretty sexy looking piece of hardware, I
62:43
think. Uh so, and it does stream at 4K, which is
62:47
kind of cool. and it has support for NVIDIA game stream if you're into that
62:50
kind of thing. And I know that not everyone plays games, but why get less
62:55
if you don't have to? That was the other thing is that now now I'm really
62:59
narrowing down what what blogger I was reading is like he figured the Apple or
63:03
the the Apple TV refresh was the most amazing thing from the event. And I was
63:08
like, "Are you for real, bro?" He's like, "Yeah, it's a whole new way of
63:12
experiencing live events, some baseball demonstration or something like
63:18
Okay, maybe I'm a Philistine, but I
63:22
personally didn't think that the baseball game experience was bad before.
63:27
I thought it was just fine. And the the thing that I don't understand is like,
63:30
okay, I didn't see this part of the presentation. So, I missed it, too. I
63:33
don't know what the baseball example was, but if it was like Twitter integration and stuff, I don't want to
63:38
tweet on my TV. I'm going to have my phone in my pocket. I'll just tweet
63:43
there. Does that make me old? I don't know.
63:48
Clear's perfectly fine in my pocket. So, we should probably jump into our sponsor
63:53
spots. We've completely neglected. linda.com.
63:57
linda.com. linda.com/wanshow for a 10day free
64:01
trial. Okay, moving on. Just kidding. I'll tell you. You can learn how to use real Adobe applications instead of doing
64:06
it on your iPad, which they'll probably also be able to teach you to do once it
64:09
comes out. Yeah. Yeah, that's actually linda.com has lots of great tutorials
64:13
for all kinds of stuff. We're we're we're actually legitimately not mocking
64:16
them, not because they're a sponsor, but because it's a good service that we've
64:20
had multiple people who work here now learn things that they do at their jobs
64:26
now on linda.com. So things like video editing, things like programming, uh
64:30
things like business skills, learning to use office applications, and it's not
64:34
just for young techsavvy people. Like let's say for example, you've got a
64:39
middle-aged relative who's had trouble,
64:42
you know, holding down a job and, you know, lacks some of the skills that our
64:46
generation takes for granted. Like we had typing class, which is actually
64:50
going to be funny not only to our parents who are like, what a class to
64:55
computer it. I'll just use a pen and paper. But also funny to our kids who
65:00
are going to be like, what they have to teach you that?
65:03
What you did you go to the special school, Dad?
65:07
Um but but they but they actually have like how to use office applications and
65:12
things like that. So check it out. linda.com/wanshow plan start at only $25
65:16
a month and you get 10 days. Someone in chat's like I have typing class all you
65:20
can eat for free. Our next sponsor today
65:24
squarespace.com supporter of the show and we're a longtime supporter of what
65:28
those guys are doing over there. No. Um
65:31
build it beautiful. It starts at only $8 a month depending on what kind of a site
65:36
you want to build. And their templates,
65:39
of which they have many, are suitable for building a company website, a store,
65:44
a blog, a portfolio, just about anything you can imagine you can build on
65:48
Squarespace. And if you can't figure out how to do it, they've got 247 tech
65:52
support, which you can contact by live chat or email. Last week I was saying uh
65:57
one of our employees at Lionus Media Group. His his wife actually set up a
66:02
Squarespace site. Okay. Well, hold on. That narrows it down a fair bit because
66:05
it wasn't me. So, it must have been John. No. What? To be wife. Who else is
66:11
married? To maybe don't say who it is. Wait, who's engaged? TB wife. Yeah. Do
66:16
what? How do you not know this? I don't know this. Wow. Rough.
66:20
Anyways, that person that person's wife built a whole website about their
66:24
wedding that has like countdown timers and an
66:27
RSVP fields. He's going to figure it
66:33
out. Anyways, it has it has a place where you can RSVP. There's all the
66:37
details. There's a countdown timer. There's all this stuff. There's like a
66:40
cool photo section like how it all started. And there's like his side and
66:44
her side and it's all cute and whatever. Um, and she did it all by herself
66:48
because the template system and Squarespace is just that easy, which is
66:52
fantastic. When you go sign up on squarespace.com, make sure you use the
66:56
offer code Linus, which I hope she did to get 10% off of your first purchase.
67:02
And if you get a year at a time, um, you
67:05
get your domain for free, which is what I'm pretty sure she did because that
67:09
just makes sense. Hi. Are you leaving?
67:13
Yeah. Bye, Justin. Uh, anyways, the next
67:16
one is Why is it not in here? Is OneUp
67:19
Box. So, this is a new sponsor for the show. Hopefully, it's the right side up.
67:24
There we go. This is a new sponsor for the show. This is the first time we've
67:27
had it. The box will always include a t-shirt. The rest of the items will vary. It's a subscription box.
67:35
I just opened mine and was going to do it like properly. Oh, do I have one,
67:39
too? No, I said my knife. Oh, I thought you meant Oh, did they not send us both
67:43
a box? That's okay. We can open it. I think so. Give me a second. It sounds
67:47
like Dennis is literally dying. Can I see your knife? Yes. That's nice. I like
67:51
it. Thank you. Nice drop. Oh, really? Yeah. Huh. CRKT, not cricket.
67:58
Dennis, what are you doing? Oh, wow. Can
68:01
you stop lifting him? Is it after? No.
68:05
Is it Are you still live? Yeah, we're still live.
68:09
No. Put him down. It's a dragon ball. Oh
68:12
god. your camera. So, in OneUp Box, you don't get a Dennis, unfortunately. Yeah, there
68:17
will be no Dennis's included in your OneUp box. What else we got in here?
68:21
So, the theme this week is I think it's or this month is pixels.
68:27
Oh my goodness. Oh, sick. There's like an adorable Wolverine. I think this week
68:31
I think this month is combat. Oh, maybe that's Oops. Did I I already fixed it.
68:36
Um, this month is combat. Oh, check out the adorable Wolverine. Look, his head
68:41
moves. It's a Pokeball wristband. He can do that.
68:46
Wow. I actually am the only one who works here who wears wristbands. Oh,
68:55
no. It's okay. You can have it. It's a medium shirt. Oh, no. Okay, I shouldn't
68:59
say that. I'm going to take it. Probably. Oh, no way. What you got,
69:03
Brandon? You're right here. Okay, so Brandon's going to snipe this shirt.
69:07
Like 100% Brandon's going to snipe this shirt. No way. There's Link and there's
69:11
Splatoon. That's what that's from. It's a squid from Splatoon. Sick. So
69:16
Brandon's going to snipe the crap out of that. That's actually not bad. Unless
69:20
All right, take it, Brandon. I I got the I got the Pokemon thing. What else is in
69:26
here? I didn't see this yet. There's like a little panda Deadpool, which is
69:31
like a patch which you can iron onto something. Oh, and then there's a pin
69:35
that says you collected the August. Ah, sorry. The theme was combat. There you
69:39
go. Smash Brothers sticker. Nice. That's
69:42
cool. This is pretty sick. I like Nintendo stuff, so me over. This is
69:47
great. It's a key for all the things. Catch them all.
69:50
Sweatband. Wear it to your battles to ensure victory. Which like with the new
69:55
Pokemon app coming out. Have you seen that? The Oh, yes. That's cool. Okay, so
70:02
that actually Oh, right. So, sorry guys. It's um pricing pricing pricing. Here we
70:08
go. So, it's uh $13 plus shipping in the
70:11
US and 26 uh $26.95 with shipping included outside of
70:16

70:21
theme was pixels and then this one is apparently combat. You can get $3 off
70:26
your first month subscription by using coupon code awesome. So, head over to
70:32
oneupbox.co/1m.
70:36
coem jd1D. Yes, I I I found out um shirts
70:41
awesome. That's actually pretty sick. I love this
70:45
and it fits so well. There we go. Endorsement. Endorsement. Yeah,
70:50
according to the guidelines, we have to we have to disclose that we were given a
70:55
free oneup box and they are a sponsor of the show. So, but that doesn't change
71:00
how cool this poker You know what? I'm going to let you have it because because
71:06
I actually have the world's most rocking wristbands already. I have the uh very
71:12
limited edition razor ones that came
71:15
that came in the like the presson kit
71:20
for some like exclusive like high-end
71:24
product. So I think there's probably maybe a couple dozen of them that exist
71:28
on Earth and I have a matching pair of them. So, I I'll keep rocking those. And
71:33
not only that, but I sweat so copiously that anything with white on it will be
71:37
yellow within like 5 minutes of me on a
71:40
badminton court. That's awesome. Did you
71:44
go over all the stuff about the box? Um, what about the box? Head over to oneup.
71:49
No. Yeah. Yeah, I covered that. Okay, so Pokémon Go announced for iOS and
71:54
Android. This was posted by Skywake on the forum. This looks absolutely
71:58
bananas. And our source for this is going to be our good friends over at
72:02
Technobuffalo. Excuse me. Wow. Pokemon Go has been
72:06
announced by the Pokemon Company and Nintendo. It's a mobile title that's
72:10
being developed by Niantic, separate from Google, by the way. Now, the same
72:13
folks that made Ingress, a game of similar ilk. This sounds bananas. Okay.
72:21
So, so there is a dedicated wearable
72:25
accessory. Okay. that I think it buzzes
72:28
when there's Pokemon nearby as you're out in the regular world. Okay, it's a
72:33
smartphone game that you actually play
72:36
by going outside and catching Pokemon. I
72:40
love Ingress, but one of my big complaints about Ingress is like where I
72:44
live, it's basically not playable
72:47
because you need to have like an interesting landmark and a suburban
72:52
house isn't an interesting landmark. So
72:56
there's none of them. So it like if I lived in Vancouver, it would be great.
73:01
There's stuff all over the place. That's cool. I could play all the time. I love Ingress. It would be super awesome. I
73:06
would literally go out just to play Ingress. And I have gone down to
73:09
Vancouver just to play Ingress before cuz I really like the
73:13
game. This means they're in the wild. So
73:16
I could go hike somewhere and find Pokémon. I could just walk around my
73:19
city and find Pokémon and possibly very rare Pokémon. Because while hiking is a
73:25
popular pastime, I think the ven diagram
73:28
overlap between people who hike as a pastime and people who play real world
73:33
Pokémon is probably fairly small. Pro
73:36
hopefully cuz I want to get them rares. So hopefully this looks freaking I'm
73:41
going to go ham on this. Going to be ridiculous. You have no My brother sent
73:45
me this and I was like I'm done. I know every idea. You I have all the ideas. I
73:49
have all the What was the thing that I was in your head about earlier this week? Right. Right. He he shows me this
73:55
awesome Aperture Science hoodie, like rain jacket, like really nice jacket
74:00
that he bought um after seeing them at PAX. And uh and it's like blah. I'm
74:05
like, "How much did you pay for it?" "80 bucks."
74:08
No, no, no, no, no, no. It was more than
74:12
$80. And I'm like, "Yeah, but you can't wear your Assassin's Creed stuff anymore
74:16
anyway." And he's like, "I literally threw it
74:20
out. All my Assassin's Creed stuff is gone." And he had really nice Assassin's
74:26
Creed stuff. I did. I kept I kept spec I
74:29
kept the Assassin's Creed 4 one. Okay. I kept that one cuz that was a good That
74:33
was the one your mom got for you, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And like my mom got me
74:37
a hoodie uh a hoodie for the release of Assassin's Creed 3. So unfortunately for
74:43
her poor soul, she didn't know that Assassin's Creed 3 was one of the worst
74:46
games that's ever been made in my opinion, which is probably ouch, a
74:51
little rough, but I hate that game. Um, with a passion, as if you can't tell.
74:57
Um, and like I thought it was going to be great. I I bought the collector's
75:01
edition and everything, which also doesn't exist in my house anymore. Um,
75:04
it's the only collector's edition I've ever thrown away. Wow. I didn't want
75:08
anyone else to own it. Wow.
75:11
Wow. Anyway, a couple more details about
75:16
Pokemon Go. It'll be released in 2016 and uh so the the optional device, this
75:22
is so cool, will be connected to your smartphone using Bluetooth and will flash its LED and vibrate to notify
75:27
players about nearby Pokemon. Now, so cool. Imagine this augmented reality
75:33
real world Pokemon. I I tweeted that out and everyone was like,
75:39
"Holy." Yeah, cuz the trailer they like they have Pokeballs and they're throwing
75:43
them and like the Pokemon are there and stuff and like this obviously isn't going to be how but eventually maybe. Uh
75:50
what else we got here? Jurassic World becoming a reality except totally not
75:54
Jurassic but actually the and super
75:58
won't be called Jurassic World at all at all because literally has nothing to do
76:02
with it. Sure, it' be all the trademark issues. Um but anyway, scientists are
76:07
looking to clone mammoths. You know what's funny? I think this is a picture
76:12
from um a Vancouver mammoth exhibit.
76:16
Where is this? Is this in Victoria? Yeah, there it is. Willy Woolly Mammoth
76:20
from the Royal BC Museum in Victoria. That's funny. I did retain something
76:24
from that grade seven class trip.
76:28
That's awesome. That is hilarious.
76:34
Um yeah, that wasn't my mom's fault. She
76:37
asked me what I might want for that Christmas and I said that thing and she
76:42
got it. Are you back on that topic in
76:45
the chat or like blah blah blah. But you should probably introduce what the crap
76:50
you're talking about. Anyways, damn it, Luke. How many times have you co-hosted
76:54
this show? You were talking about the Oh, yeah. That's true. Cuz I guess the
76:57
archive viewers wouldn't see it. Anyways, um I guess the actual vast
77:03
majority of the viewers at the show, like a huge percentage. Anyways, um they
77:08
there's a Russian team uh that has a
77:12
woolly mammoth sample named Yuka, which is a 39,000 lb woolly mammoth in their
77:18
possession. And they're going to use that um cross-link DNA with a modern
77:24
elephant. Yeah. um to give birth to an
77:27
animal that resembles a mammoth. So, it
77:30
won't actually be a mammoth. Now, to be clear, this is a technique that has been
77:35
somewhat successful. Zebra fish and jellyfish have already been successfully
77:39
cross- linked to make glowing fish, but these are much simpler creatures, much
77:44
smaller creatures, and um everything is
77:48
more difficult with a mammal. An elephant giving birth to a mammoth and
77:51
just being like, "What?" Yeah.
77:56
Oh, because they're pretty smart. What just happened to my my birth hole?
78:05
Uh, speaking of birth holes, Amazon is
78:09
giving birth to a $50 tablet now that they've given up on
78:15
selling you a more expensive device that exists solely for the purpose of driving
78:19
you to buy Amazon products and services. Just absurd. So, they have finally
78:24
figured out if we're going to cram
78:27
Amazon up everyone's birth hole with these devices, we better be basically
78:32
giving them away. Thank you, Amazon, for finally cluing in
78:37
to that. Yes. U So, this new device will have a 6-in screen and will be half the
78:42
price of the cheapest Fire tablet. It is
78:45
intended to be a simple and effectively disposable device for straightforward
78:50
tasks like streaming video at home and shopping on
78:53
Amazon.com. At least they're being honest. Um, yeah. I mean, the thing
79:00
about this is that this can only really be successful if it's competitive with
79:04
the other like $50 7in class tablets
79:08
that already exist um from like cheapo
79:12
brands like RCA. You know what's really funny is uh this was an example from the
79:16
Wall Street Journal article here uh including brands unfamiliar to many
79:20
Americans like RCA. Yeah. What is not familiar about RCA? The other ones.
79:26
Sure. Yeah. Like uh Fanatic and Aries,
79:30
but RC RCA must be the best known brand
79:34
that has never managed to make the transition to becoming somewhat premium.
79:39
They always have been and seemingly always will be cheap junk.
79:47
Like seriously, that's their thing. No, look at brands like Vizio where they
79:51
came on the market as like we're the cheapest thing and now like there's
79:56
legit like premium really good Visio products. Look at look at
80:01
Samsung. Samsung was cheap crap at the beginning. Yeah. In fact, pretty much
80:06
every time they expand into a new category, Samsung is cheap crap all over
80:09
again until they figure it out and get better at it. It's fine. Yeah. I I mean,
80:15
there's got to be countless other examples like um someone like everything
80:18
has RCA. Yeah. Like how many people Oh,
80:22
no. That's not what we're talking about. No, no. RCA, the brand that made like
80:27
really bad CD WMAN wannabes. Yeah. Yeah.
80:30
Yeah. Oh, man. They were awful. Mhm.
80:34
Maybe they're just not old enough to remember RCA.
80:37
That could be a thing cuz like Radio Shack and stuff doesn't really Yeah,
80:42
poor Radio Shack anymore. Uh, what else do we have? Oh, Nintendo's going after
80:47
speed runners. Nintendo, this is so trash. Can you be more cool? And like
80:51
brutalizing speedrunners. Ramata or
80:55
something like that is the OP on the forum. And the article here is from uh
80:59
from geeknack.com.
81:03
But this is just Okay, so the guy the
81:06
why Nintendo was mad is because the dude well why they were this mad was because
81:11
the dude wasn't just straight up playing. Uh what was going on was their
81:15
reasoning. Where is it? Sorry. The reasoning was he was using tool assisted
81:19
hacks or hacked ROMs of Super Mario. Um
81:23
and they slammed him with multiple copyright strikes. They took off I think
81:29
80% of his content was removed from YouTube. Basically they super wrecked
81:34
his channel and left a mark with the copyright strikes and it's Pangia Panga
81:39
by the way. So uh most famous probably for that impossible level. Um like this
81:45
guy did some like really cool
81:49
stuff. And yes, Nintendo has established
81:53
that it is illegal to use a ROM even if you own a legitimate copy of the game.
81:58
But come on, just don't be a jerk about
82:02
it. Yeah, this is pretty brutal.
82:06
There's no reason to do that. The letter that they wrote to him, they contacted
82:11
him directly and wrote a letter about what they were doing is just it it made
82:17
my stomach turn just reading it. Um,
82:20
I'll go ahead and I'll quote some of it. As the owner of the copyright in the
82:24
games Mario Kart 8, Super Mario World, and Pokemon, Nintendo has the exclusive
82:29
right to perform the games publicly or to make derivative works based on the
82:33
games. By making a derivative work using Nintendo's intellectual property and
82:37
then displaying Nintendo's intellectual property on your YouTube channel, you
82:40
have violated Nintendo's exclusive rights. Nintendo understands that its
82:44
fans are the reason for its success. Excuse me. Do you? No, you don't. Do you
82:48
actually? No, cuz I don't think you do. I don't think understand means what you
82:52
think it means. I don't think fans means
82:56
what you think it means. This would be this would we actually were talking to
83:01
Vessel recently about what's happening
83:04
with some of our content getting pulled and then posted onto YouTube during our
83:10
exclusivity period and stuff like that. And they they kind of asked us, "Well,
83:13
do you want to go with an automated system so that you guys are claiming
83:17
monetization or or pulling down content that features your videos?" I said, "No,
83:22
of course not." So much because there's
83:26
a lot of really cool derivative works based on our videos on YouTube. I love
83:30
it when people put together like montages and stuff. Yeah. Like like that
83:35
great video of the Shiaabuff green screen of him saying good just do it and
83:40
me saying don't do it. Do you have any idea how much it warms my heart to see
83:45
people taking what we've created and and
83:49
turning it into something cool? Like obviously if someone creates something,
83:53
you know, grossly offensive or illegal
83:57
or whatever else, we're not going to be cool with that.
84:01
But I'm just going to see if I can find that video because it's so funny.
84:07
Um ah dang it. I can't find What was What
84:14
was it called? Was it called R9 Fury or something? Lionus. Ah, I wish I could
84:19
find it. Anyway, it was it was really funny. Um and I don't remember where I
84:23
was going with that anymore. I watched Twitch chat. Yeah. So, as long as they're not doing something totally
84:27
inappropriate, we love that kind of stuff because that's what that's how you
84:32
guys can communicate back to us in the same medium that we used to communicate
84:37
to you. This is this is the language we're speaking. So, it's just sorry I'll I'll
84:44
read more of the letter, but it's just going to make me more upset as I go. And
84:48
oh, this kills me. They're the reason for its success and we are always happy
84:52
to see people share their passion for Nintendo's games. No, you're not. Well,
84:56
maybe you could express your happiness in a way that's not legal action against
85:00
someone. Seriously, once. At the same time,
85:04
Nintendo's intellectual property constitutes its most valuable assets,
85:08
and the unauthorized use of these assets jeopardizes Nintendo's rights. Because
85:12
of this, we ask that you please remove the video in question, except that they
85:16
didn't ask. They just had it removed. and confirm that you will not post any
85:20
videos using unauthorized software or copies of games, distribute or continue
85:24
work on the modification or take any other steps that would infringe
85:27
Nintendo's rights. They referred them to the Nintendo's creators program, which
85:31
is gross, by the way, and ridiculous, through which Nintendo takes a cut
85:35
listed as 30% for channels and 40% for per for videos of ad revenues generated
85:39
by features video videos featuring Nintendo games if he wanted to continue
85:43
his fan engagement on YouTube. They charge their fans to engage with them.
85:49
That's disgusting.
85:53
Really, really, really, really brutal. Especially cuz like how much money are
85:57
they making off of Super Mario World? And I mean like that one game. And how
86:02
many people have the technical savvy and
86:05
knowhow to rip into ROMs and and create
86:09
new speedrunning paths or or do some of the really entertaining stuff to watch
86:14
that millions of people are watching and
86:17
going, "Oh, cool. I remember that game." And dusting off their Nintendo. A lot of
86:22
speedrunning stuff is like for charity and stuff and it's just for
86:26
entertainment. Games done quick. Like isn't that whole thing a charity event?
86:30
Yeah. Yeah, Taran said from the background, Games DoneQuick is a charity event. Like, what are you guys doing?
86:35
Don't go after a charity event. So,
86:39
yeah, basically Nintendo, that was a total [ __ ] move, period. And I think
86:45
that pretty much does it for the show. Thanks for watching, guys. And, uh, wow,
86:49
we should really try to end on a happy note because I'm like super mad right
86:54
now. Um, what do you think about Mondo
87:00
Burrito? I actually truly enjoy Mondo Burrito. I
87:04
could use a Mondo Burrito right now. I'm really hungry. Yeah, me too. Positive
87:07
note. Hunger or something. I tried. See you guys next
87:12
week. Didn't work. Same bat time. Same bat channel.
87:18
The W show. We tried. You have to do the intro thing. There you go. Almost.
87:24
Oh. Uh, that's
87:31
awkward. Yeah.
