all right guys welcome to the WAN Show not the most organized one that we've
0:05
ever started i didn't even do my hair or change my shirt and you're like wearing
0:09
a firefighter shirt which is of course the the best Linus TechTip shirt of all
0:13
you're wearing it i know i know i I we we both failed we're both bad people
0:18
okay and this is a bad show as long as we're equally terrible i actually think
0:22
it's a fantastic show it's a great show we have tons of stuff you guys this week
0:26
we actually I we say that every week but we do have a ton of stuff this week he
0:30
was just at E3 which is the
0:33
uh adult Adult Entertainment Expo adult
0:37
adult no oh oh adult i pretended to
0:41
misunderstand and also not know how adult was spelled which is funny because
0:48
Wow oh how was the trip it was It was uh Am
0:53
I going through everything it's a long story yeah no I don't care it was It was
0:58
actually pretty good the most surprising thing was that E3 is like not a presson
1:03
event like nope not at all they have
1:06
signs all over the place like "Oh presson event blah blah blah blah blah."
1:09
And then the lineup for will call for people that bought their tickets was the
1:13
longest one you know it's funny because it's like CES where it's industry blah
1:18
blah blah only and you walk around and like most of the people there are just
1:21
off the street yeah but there was actually a considerable amount of people that just bought their ticket you know
1:26
how at like CES you had to like at least be friends with someone it's like no you
1:30
could just straight up buy your ticket and a lot of people did it like there was some mom and her like 12-year-old
1:35
kid that were just walking around like probably like a prodigy game dev
1:40
yeah that was it was Yeah that that was
1:43
weird and like at at PAX East when we
1:47
went to Oculus I was able to walk up and be like "Hey we're press can we get a
1:51
can we get something and they were like "Well we don't have any interview um
1:55
like time slots open but we can sit you down and run you through all the
1:59
different demos and have a guy talk to you but he just can't be on camera."
2:03
We're like "Okay cool e3 walk up and they're like "No press stuff wait wait
2:08
in line." It's like "This is a supposed to be a presson event and you have no
2:13
press stuff." So I had to wait in line multiple times because I couldn't even
2:17
like hop systems to try all the different games and stuff but then it
2:20
ended up being awesome because I was able to like find Palmer in the booth
2:24
and be like "Hey can we get an interview?" So we ended up getting like one of the best interviews at E3 that's
2:29
fantastic for Oculus just randomly which was great you guys have fun overall it
2:34
was good there was there was stuff that we don't have time to talk about which Are you releasing the blog video of the
2:38
hotel i don't know it's It's We're We're
2:42
not sure but I have footage and I might show it off on the afterparty i I get a
2:45
kick out of all the people being like there's no video because I actually have
2:49
a preview of the stream running on my computer right now so
2:53
if if there is no video then that's Yeah I think it's on your side uh all right
2:57
so why don't we jump right into our our hot topics of the day so I've got two
3:02
hot topics for you that are sort of related gta 5 is coming to the
3:07
PC and um Dead Rising 3 is coming to the
3:11
PC
3:15
i mean that's it's good that that an exclusive franchise is moving to PC but
3:21
we well we have more to tell you later about why this is just the completest
3:26
epic fail that um it Well okay it could have been worth I don't know how much
3:30
worse it could be okay you go you go ahead you give some topics that we're going to talk about today uh next next
3:36
generation consoles are probably coming faster than we expected and that's not
3:41
surprising cuz the current ones are really not that strong or good at all
3:45
instead of calling them next gen can we be like shampoo and call them new and
3:49
improved gen next new nextG console like
3:53
the the like the the Nintendo thing and then the next one can be new and
3:57
improved nextG and then after that it can be like redesigned packaging which
4:02
they already do you know where they have like a Modern Warfare skin on the
4:05
console or whatever like they should just completely rip off shampoo and just
4:10
do it that way new an enhanced formula uh and then we
4:15
have the mag lev keyboard because magnets yo magnets dog all right so
4:20
without further ado here is the uh the
4:25
Okay I'll just press it
4:36
this is great someone's like "Now with 30% more
4:41

4:47

5:35
well as Intel and Corsair so this is
5:39

5:48
not bad the next week thing isn't that great because it's not next week it was
5:52
actually this week but we're gonna be doing a ton of E3 recap and I just want
5:56
to thank our sponsors HyperX NCIX and H
6:01
wow I'm blanking thank you and Corsair
6:04
for sending Luke there see he's the one who's been saying that all week yep
6:08
whereas I've been focused on Highlander and the fact that there's some overlap
6:12
between them oh yeah that's a good point it's
6:16
like what am I doing yeah yeah no that
6:19
was awesome we actually have a Nintendo recap video of like all of the games
6:23
that are coming out in terms of Wii U uh is Nintendo getting their mojo back why
6:28
don't we make that our first topic let's go
6:32
nintendo's year like 100% you walk into
6:35
one of the halls you see a gigantic Nintendo banner you see completely
6:39
vacant booths and then you see no walking space at all around the Nintendo
6:43
area because it's full the press area was completely full there was lineup
6:47
cues to try every single like little station and the non- press area was even
6:51
more full uh the the invitational stream
6:55
was insane there was 100,000 people watching the Smash Bros invitational
6:59
before they started playing like people care they had they
7:04
had Best Buys around the world had Smash Bros and people were able to go play and
7:08
there was pictures of Best Buys where there was a lineup all the way around
7:11
the Best Buy and then down the street just to be able to play so for all the
7:17
doom and gloom around Nintendo and they are still losing money yep are they at
7:21
least recapturing their mojo i think they're recapturing their mojo they have
7:24
they have stuff like Smash Bros coming which should have been here already they got Zelda coming they have that new
7:28
Zelda announcement which looks amazing and that should have been here already
7:31
there's a lot of stuff that should have been here already let's just make this the Nintendo the Nintendo uh segment so
7:36
let's go through all of our Nintendo stuff so so go ahead tell give us your
7:40
thoughts then we'll jump into that uh Nintendo has already apparently actually
7:45
no we'll move on okay whatever talk about Nintendo and then I'll jump in with other stuff they they have I in in
7:50
the video that's coming in like 18 minutes they have I think 11 different
7:53
games like really big very important very well polished games that they could
7:58
probably release today because they're all playable there right and totally
8:02
smooth no problems fully playable um that were just amazing and stuff stuff
8:07
from Yoshi Toad uh Mario like main Mario
8:10
sequence games the Mario Maker game looks amazing and I got to play with it there and it was really good um Hyrule
8:15
Warriors is polished and really fun uh the Zelda game looks amazing all of
8:20
these big titles that probably should have come earlier um but I think it's
8:24
going to be okay i The hype around Nintendo at E3 was insane like the
8:28
PlayStation and Xbox stuff was fairly populated and stuff that you would
8:32
expect to be populated like Borderlands and like Far Cry there was a fairly
8:36
large lineup but the lineup to play and get like hands-on interaction with Far
8:42
Cry and Assassin's Creed and like Borderlands these big titles were not as
8:47
big and not as engaged as anything at Nintendo including like I I can't even
8:52
remember what it's called right now but some Squid Game where you like run
8:56
around and paint things but it was tons of fun it's It looked super stupid but
9:00
it's it's called Turf War yeah and you just run around with these paint guns
9:04
and you have to like cover all the ground in paint and it's an FPS at the
9:07
same time so you're covering the ground in paint to gain points and whoever has the most ground covered in their color
9:12
of paint at the end wins but you can kill the other guys and then they get a
9:15
respawn timer and they respond in the back of their base that sounds like a lot of fun it was actually It was really
9:20
competitive despite how like kind of casual filthy casual yeah totally filthy
9:25
casual but it was super competitive and there was that was one of the most lined up for games splatoon that's what it was
9:31
called thanks Nick yeah thanks Nick it's called Splatoon but that was that was
9:35
actually so much fun and that I had never even heard of that before and that
9:39
was that was awesome so there's I don't know i'm scared okay what's your what's
9:43
your highlight from Nintendo oh Smash Bros smash Bros was amazing and that's
9:48
super boring but it was amazing neither of the people in this room gives any
9:52
cares about this because neither of us ever owned a game cube did we no but I
9:58
got to play with both and I got to talk to multiple people that were in the
10:01
Smash Bros invitational about Smash Bros um so I have feedback on Smash Bros and
10:06
the Gamecube controller and stuff i asked the guy who won the invitational
10:09
who was playing with me which was super cool um what yeah I I won shut up yeah
10:15
can we let you win a nice guy there was No there was two guys from the
10:18
invitational and a like fairly high-end on the competitive side employee of
10:23
Nintendo for Smash Bros and then me and we were all playing and the employee of
10:28
Nintendo picked a super overpowered character and the two invitational guys
10:32
were trying to fight him off because he had a super overpowered character and I
10:35
was Kirby so I did that like you turn into a rock and smash thing and I got
10:40
multiple kills that way and then ended up winning they weren't trying to focus
10:44
me but because they were focusing someone else I took advantage of it and
10:47
won which is fantastic nice um but yeah
10:51
the the Gamecube controller and I got to talk okay you haven't actually told anyone what we're talking about so
10:55
Nintendo is releasing a GameCube controller adapter for the Wii U that
10:59
will allow you to plug in four Gamecube controllers I think okay couple of
11:04
things number one is why the hell hasn't
11:07
everyone been doing this all along why can't I use an Xbox 360 controller on
11:11
the Xbox One if I like it better microsoft what's your problem like what
11:16
is the problem with carrying forward and back compatibility on controllers it's
11:20
an artificially imposed limitation a lot of the time and it just doesn't make any
11:24
sense and you know what even though Nintendo legitimately justifiably can't
11:30
use GameCube controllers on the Wii U they are allowing it to happen they are
11:36
facilitating it and they're making it reasonable 20ucks 20 bucks 20 bucks
11:42
20ucks not even that bad i mean we're talking about the price delta between a
11:47
current gen controller and a last gen controller and you're getting the
11:51
adapter to use as many lastg controllers as you want i mean that is such a
11:55
customerfriendly thing to do just go look yeah okay you don't like classic
11:59
controller you don't like pro controller you want to use what you're familiar
12:03
with what you like yes let's give it to you why isn't everyone doing this yeah
12:08
and you can you can even use like the old GameCube Waveird wireless
12:12
controllers that's compatible with the adapter so like they're just like yeah
12:15
know it works which is fantastic i talked to the competitive guys and I
12:19
tried the GameCube controller again i never had a GameCube and that controller
12:22
always felt weird but playing Smash Bros with it felt right and people are
12:26
pointing out the original Wii had it built in by default yeah yeah you just
12:30
down you just pull down the flap and you can get it but I mean you can't you
12:34
can't have it built in forever so I understand why they're doing it the way
12:38
they're doing i just think that Microsoft and Sony could take a page out
12:43
of this book where it's giving your customers the choice i mean Nintendo's
12:46
actually done a good job of that even on the original Wii so you've got your Wii
12:50
remote you got your classic controller you got your nunchuck and Wii remote
12:53
combo you've got your Gamecube controller you can basically do things the way that you want and I think that's
12:57
fantastic yeah but my my main question for them was why not the Pro Controller
13:02
versus the Gamecube controller and the feedback from You mean for the players
13:06
for the players yes the feedback from the I'm helping you i'm keeping you on track here the feedback from the very
13:11
competitive guys was the layout of the Gamecube controller is faster and more
13:16
efficient and also the analog stick placement like this is still layout but
13:20
analog stick placement is a lot better for comboing buttons mhm and all of that
13:24
totally makes sense and I kind of felt it while I was there because especially
13:28
that little yellow stick you can flick that and press a button really easily
13:32
right so I totally understand why you would want a GameCube controller and
13:35
then they have they if you don't have old GameCube controllers and you're
13:39
worried about like local stores running out they're going to be releasing what like a $30 Smash Bros gamecube
13:44
controller nice i believe that's what it is so you'll be able to buy new ones if
13:48
that's the case or if you want to make sure your old ones are still fine you can just buy a new one so for 150 bucks
13:51
you will be able to completely kit out your Wii U and Gamecube controllers
13:56
that's not bad that's That's really And if you're willing to buy controllers
13:59
used you can do it a lot cheaper than that yep yep definitely you can get
14:02
GameCube controllers pretty cheap although I would probably do that quickly yeah really before everyone
14:07
catches on to this yeah before before Gamecube controllers just start flying
14:11
off shelves everywhere um but yeah that was that was a ton of fun uh what else
14:16
was there i got to play Hyrule Warriors
14:19
um and it it was smooth i I was never a huge fan of what is it called dynasty
14:23
Warriors never a Well okay i was never a
14:26
huge fan because I never had it right but like it it was fun it was fun to
14:30
play it's an interesting new IP for them but it does seem even with very rarely
14:35
playing Dynasty Warriors I I was like "Yeah I'm I'm playing Dynasty Warriors
14:39
but as Link or Zelda right which is I
14:42
don't know it was kind of fun." All right let's talk about Mario Maker um so
14:46
this was originally posted on the forum by Top War Gamer so thank you for that
14:52
but uh your your thoughts on it you played around with it a little bit right yeah uh really really smooth and very
14:56
fast extremely fast my my concern with
15:00
something like this is is the same as my concern with any any game that kind of
15:06
goes "Hey we're giving you guys the reins." Um I like games that are
15:10
designed by professional game designers um did were they allowing people to
15:16
create their own levels while while you were there and were you able to play
15:19
other people's levels or how was the whole experience i got to play levels of
15:23
two again two of the competitive guys i was kind of going around with them for a little while um and that was kind of fun
15:27
because they were making absolutely ridiculous levels right like n
15:32
impossible levels because they're competitive guys um and that was kind of
15:36
fun but even if something's ridiculous you can you can jump into the editor at
15:40
any point in time of any level even levels that come stock with the game and
15:44
move your character so if you're like "This part's dumb," you can just be like "I'm now here." And keep going which is
15:49
actually kind of nice because one of the competitive guys accidentally made part
15:53
of it impossible he he didn't realize one of the things was going to jump onto
15:57
a certain thing that it did right so he was like "Oh okay whatever." And just
16:00
edit his character up onto the next point and then kept going which was
16:03
actually kind of nice um and you can also liveit anything so if you play one
16:07
of the stock maps you can live edit it so you can like add things to make it
16:11
more difficult and change things um and
16:14
my biggest worry was actually something that you just brought up other people's
16:17
levels right now they don't have it set up so that you can actually download off
16:22
of a community but they were like yeah every single
16:26
person pretty much who's played has suggested that right so not saying
16:31
anything's going to happen but yeah and one thing that was fairly interesting
16:35
about Nintendo is they had a slight indie feel the whole time where when you
16:39
go to aaa place it's just like game stations where you can play and PR
16:43
people yeah they had the developers for a lot of the games walking the floor
16:46
talking to people that's really cool it was really cool like the the the main
16:50
guy behind Splatoon every single time was going around to every single person
16:54
that was playing and asking them what their thoughts were after the game and like with a notepad legitimately writing
16:59
things down that's fantastic i mean that's something that really I I I find
17:04
differentiates one company from another one i mean we see the same thing at CES
17:08
where there's certain companies you go to their booth and it's like the
17:13
president or like VP of worldwide marketing or or whatever and typically
17:18
it's smaller companies but seeing big ones behave like that is really and you
17:22
see it sometimes it's not only Nintendo but it was it was very nice to see it at
17:26
No you do see it from time to time i mean even at CES we've met people like I
17:29
I met uh some senior director level i
17:33
actually met the CEO of WD at a party last year like you do run into these
17:38
people but it's usually really difficult and the fact that they were just there
17:42
in the booth was actually really cool and you you'd never really know like
17:45
they weren't wearing shirts that were like dev team like they had Nintendo
17:49
shirts but they just kind of looked like average employees right but if you
17:52
recognized them you could tell and a lot of people didn't so it was actually fine
17:56
they could kind of move around freely but it was really cool to see them picking up all that feedback and even
18:01
other employees they were using as like proxies essentially so those other
18:04
employees would ask questions and then I saw them like they'd meet up and exchange notes and then keep going like
18:09
they were really hardcore about getting feedback from people which is cool and
18:12
apparently that's where the Gamecube controller thing came from right so many
18:16
fans demanded a different input solution for Smash Bros when it came out but they
18:20
were like "Hey we'll just make this $20 little device it solves all the
18:23
problems." That's great what a great attitude yeah
18:28
that was like I said this was Nintendo's year they rocked E3 100% i got some
18:33
really cool I don't know if I was supposed to take these but um I the
18:37
voting cards from the Nintendo Invitational yes did you see how that
18:40
worked when they they held up the cards no they were like this big and you voted
18:44
for which character should win or whatever and it was like this book of
18:49
voting cards you are such an embarrassment sometimes he has no shame
18:53
when it comes to swag like I I've been in the industry a long time and
18:57
companies will be like "Here do you want the swag bag at our booth?" And I'm like
19:01
"No it's okay i really I don't even have anywhere to put this stuff at this point." And he's like he's going to be
19:06
like "Oh uh yeah I'll take it." Also I'll have Linuses do you have any other
19:10
stuff do you have any stuff that's just a part of your actual booth fixture that
19:14
I can just take it i've tried that before it's worked before you know
19:18
what's funny though um and let's move on to uh let's move on to our Did you have
19:22
anything else particularly for Nintendo cuz I've got a great segment uh the other stuff would just be in the video
19:27
which is up in like 7 minutes so be sure to check that out all right so let's
19:30
move on to speaking of booth swag the designed by Razer licensing program this
19:35
was officially posted or originally posted by Lafere on the Linus Tech Tips
19:40
forum thank you very much for that i'm going to switch over to my screen here
19:43
and oh there it goes that was interesting so this is the Razer Special
19:49
Edition H440 it is basically an NZXT H440 but
19:55
with what are they calling it a special edition H440 for gamers by gamers
20:00
designed by Razer H440
20:04
oh it's probably this adapter yes it is technostream
20:11
oh now stop well I'm holding it now um anyway so
20:16
this is it's got like a designed by Razer badge um right here and that's
20:21
pretty cool um but truthfully that that
20:24
this case isn't the big news to me the big news here is more collaboration
20:30
between brands like this i think that's a very positive thing i mean aesthetics
20:33
are definitely a factor for me when I'm
20:36
building a rig and I think they're a factor for a lot of people although it's hard to tell with you but aesthetics are
20:41
definitely a thing i mean as much as you
20:45
know what we don't owe the big corporations anything we don't have to
20:48
put their logos all over our chests and all over our stuff but if you really
20:52
like what someone and if that is a company is doing that and you really are
20:57
driven to put their their branding on stuff and that makes you feel cool then
21:01
I think stuff like this is great um they haven't changed anything really no like
21:06
let's be truthful about this they put a logo on the front they changed the color
21:09
scheme they put some lighting effects in it but that's about it it's still an H440 but what I like about this is the
21:14
H440 is a great case so now it's available in black and
21:19
green that's cool yeah I'm down with that anyway so on to stealing things
21:24
from booths um one of the ones that was in NZXT's booth that's like an early
21:29
mockup they're sending it here oh oh I thought it got stolen i was like I
21:33
didn't take this don't look at me no no
21:36
they're uh they're going to tear it down after the show and then they're going to send it to us so that we can our next
21:41
build guide that we film not the one that's coming out this weekend by the
21:44
way there's a build guide coming out this weekend the next one that we film
21:47
is going to be uh a green and black themed rig in this case cool that'll be
21:51
good we're going to have a pre-production it does look nice and because the green LEDs are very dark and
21:56
there's like the kind of blackout tint on the window a little bit it's this like deep kind of moody green which
22:01
actually looks pretty good i'm working on sourcing a bunch of like cool green
22:05
themed stuff to put in it that that sniper with the I don't know what it's
22:08
called but not red line cuz it's green line gigabytes new boards aren't green
22:13
what and this is going to be a Devil's Canyon system so I'd rather use a Z97
22:18
board if I can yeah bummer so I'm planning to use a
22:21
saber-tooth just because at least it's just black yep and then I'm going to get
22:25
some green memory we're probably going to paint memory anyway I'm giving away
22:28
I'm giving away too much the next build guide in that case is going to be freaking awesome um speaking of Devil's
22:33
Canyon I think that leads pretty well into the Pentium
22:38
KG3258 cryptically named um but the
22:42
results are looking pretty impressive this was originally posted by the
22:46
magical maniac on the Linus Tech Tips forum original article here is from
22:50
BitTech and this processor looks like
22:53
the spiritual successor to the Pentium D85 which basically means we are looking
22:59
at some pretty kick-ass stuff going on here the D85 was a dual core processor
23:05
it consumed a bunch of power whereas this one won't um it was very very low
23:11
clocked out of the box which this one is but what kicked butt about the Pendium
23:15
V85 was it overclocked like nuts that
23:20
thing was cheap and it was a fantastic
23:23
value and at the time that was Intel's response to a very competitive AMD where
23:29
Intel was basically like hm okay we have
23:32
to do something because our chips are
23:35
just not worth that much right now so
23:38
they came up with the Pennium G85 they removed some features like it didn't
23:43
have all the same stuff that something like a 930 well what did they call them
23:46
yeah I think it was a 930 or something like that anyway it didn't have all the same features but it overclocked like a
23:51
bat out of hell and it was a chip of choice for gamers this looks like it's
23:56
going to be pretty much the same thing so we've seen people reporting
24:00
overclocks from 3.2 to 4.5 GHz like I
24:04
said before it is only a dual core but in games that are not dependent on heavy
24:10
uh on on heavily threaded processors with you know hyperthreading and four or
24:14
six or eight cores this thing is going to absolutely kick butt so they're
24:19
showing what kind of performance increases you can see uh with it it
24:23
shows what kind of performance it has i'm seeing some reports although it's
24:26
not in this particular article that we could be looking at similar to 4770K
24:32
performance with this chip especially in games where we're not bound by how many
24:37
processing cores that we have so looks pretty good pretty good pretty
24:42
good that is actually really interesting but I've had people And it does have hyperthreading by the way two cores two
24:46
threads so just like a Core i3 but unlocked and overclockable yeah
24:51
yeah okay
24:54
what else we got there's like everything this week uh should we talk about GTA 5
24:59
and that other game sure sure that shall remain nameless let's do GTA 5 first all
25:03
right so this was originally posted on the Linus Tech Tips forum by a skew
25:07
thank you for that you're awesome yay shout outs for all the people who post
25:11
news on the Linus Tech Tips forum you guys are
25:14
awesome anyway um original article was
25:17
from eurogamer.net gta 5 is coming to
25:20
the PC PS4 and Xbox One and at least two of those three I think we kind of saw
25:25
coming but yeah
25:30
uh yeah you're going to be able to transfer your online saves which will be interesting but I haven't heard anything
25:34
on campaign transfer uh this is actually kind of the reason why I quit playing
25:39
back when I had a roommate we had it for Xbox 360 and uh I stopped like pretty
25:45
early in because I was like "This is an awesome game." But I'm gonna wait
25:49
because I hope it'll come to PC eventually i'm surprised it took them a
25:52
year i hope that's because they're optimizing it because on launch GTA 4
25:56
was like completely poo that's basically
26:00
all I have to say about it it performed terribly um but they've again they've
26:05
taken a year and I think the platform architecture is going to be a lot more similar than last time so hopefully that
26:10
helps them as well um apparently there will be existing
26:14
like the the existing add-on content for GTA V will be kind of bundled in it
26:19
there's going to be upgraded AI for the PC version even compared to Xbox One and
26:23
PS4 which will be really cool they're going to have improved things like draw
26:27
distances textures denser traffic wildlife uh upgraded weather upgraded
26:31
damage effects and tons of other crap which is absolutely fantastic i hope it
26:36
is extremely moddable they're going to have a movie maker but mods are
26:40
something I am pretty interested in because you saw like Icy
26:44
Enhance if he comes back and does GTA 5
26:49
like please it's amazing you did an
26:52
incredibly good job with GTA 4 but we need you again sir or Madame but I'm
26:57
assuming sir um yeah that would be that
27:00
would be great i don't really know what else to say that would be great that
27:04
would be great if you could just come back and do all that work that would be great
27:08
yeah because like you can you can look at GTA 4 screenshots from that guy that
27:12
look better than like any game that's released now which is ridiculous but
27:16
yeah that would be great and then there's the Dead Rising 3 super cool
27:22
announcement that turned out to be not super cool at all okay so hold on so
27:25
let's start with the good things about this so number one is that consumers and
27:29
I encourage people to do this all the time if you're unhappy about something
27:33
if you're all buttth hurt don't give people your money if you don't like what
27:38
people are doing don't give them your money so I don't know why Dead Rising 3
27:44
is coming to PC um it wasn't supposed to
27:48
it might have something yeah well I know it wasn't supposed to do we have the
27:51
link to It's not coming to PC and then the link way down way down yeah hold on
27:55
f Dead Rising no no that's control
27:59
bookmark stop it control bookmark
28:04
screw you hippie okay so uh
28:08
find it yeah it's not there whatever anyway so the original the original
28:12
story was I mean with GTA 5 the rumors have kind of been out there for a long
28:17
time um and they've never officially denied it they've never said "No it's
28:21
not coming to PC." With Dead Rising 3 it was not supposed to come to PC so
28:24
whether it's because Xbox One isn't selling that well um which would be you
28:29
know a definite sort of good job guys for not buying things that you're not
28:34
happy with uh so whether it's that or whether it's something else whether it's
28:37
you know um you know Microsoft kind of going hey well we want more Xbox One
28:43
content on PC because we really are committed to that um although I really
28:47
doubt it's the second one it's a great thing to see more exclusive uh console
28:52
franchises coming to the PC but then they went and they just wrecked it uh
28:59
one thing before we get into how they wrecked it there's a quote saying definitely not a timed exclusive it's an
29:04
Xbox One game we see a lot of this online it's not coming to PS4 or PC yeah
29:09
that was like months ago lol
29:13
well uh but yeah so they've they've they've frame capped it to 30 FPS and
29:18
they have a warning on it so that if you can take that cap off which is nice i I
29:23
guess I don't think you've put enough emphasis on it they frame capped it at
29:27
30 FPS on the PC
29:33
yeah and like I said you can take it off but there's a giant warning saying like
29:37
"We're not responsible for what happens if you do this." and they fully expect the game's just going to completely
29:42
break if you do that so the physics is act it actually works based on the frame
29:47
rate so it's what what Need for Speed game I don't remember which one but I
29:51
was just going to say you could double how fast your car was going by making
29:55
your FPS go from 30 to 60 and like we're going to have these problems with Dead
29:59
Rising and that's super stupid how lazy is that incredibly lazy there's there's
30:03
a quote in the Oculus video where I have an interview with Palmer where I'm
30:07
talking to him about 30 FPS versus other higher frame rates because for VR you're
30:11
going to need way higher frame rates than 30 FPS um where he says 30 FPS
30:15
isn't a design choice it's a failure
30:20
yay like yeah no but just how lazy is it
30:24
to tie your in-game physics to I know a dev on the team frame rate which is like
30:29
oh
30:32
god I'm sorry but it's terrible
30:38
um I don't Yeah that's really
30:41
lazy like I get it but it's lazy i mean
30:46
we're talking we're talking stuff that we solved like you know back in the 90s
30:52
like problems that on the PC we were
30:55
like "Oh yeah in Goose when I press the
30:58
turbo button on my like 386 it goes too
31:01
fast oh I guess we better address this." Yeah like we This was This was a problem
31:06
for a little while with older games where they had no ability to really
31:09
foresee this well they could but didn't really think about it and then it went
31:12
away for a long time and now it's back it's like why are you back should not be
31:16
a thing why are you back shouldn't be a thing at all i hope we see more ports i
31:20
hope we see ports that come over to the PC correctly i hope uh Dante or whatever
31:26
his or however you pronounce his name fixes this because that would be
31:29
fantastic there's so many things in the announcements of like stuff coming to PC
31:32
where I'm like I hope this one super well-known modder guy comes back and
31:36
fixes everything for
31:40
us i really hope so ah that would be
31:43
fantastic i mean I the thing I like
31:46
about this generation of PCs is that the way that they're built is so much more
31:50
similar did I say PCs cuz I meant consoles sorry consoles is that the way
31:54
that they're built is so much more similar to a PC that porting should be
31:59
easier and uh well mostly that porting
32:02
should be easier and but there are a lot
32:06
of issues with it too and I think that that's something
32:10
that the console makers are very well aware of so the original post poster for
32:15
this on the forum was Joners and the original article is from Techraar but
32:20
that is the the headline here is the next generation of consoles could come
32:25
much sooner than expected so and this is from AMD so remember these are the guys
32:30
that are making the CPU and the GPU in both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One
32:35
and the Wii U i said both because I forgot there are three i'm sorry
32:38
Nintendo you're still cool really you Well Nintendo we just said you won E3
32:42
i'm sorry they don't really get dropped under the next console thing because
32:46
they came out way before that 30% less improved 30% less the next gen except
32:52
their games are coming out 1080p 60 FPS i know right so like owned and you know
32:57
what correct i I think getting wrapped
33:00
up in in having to deliver okay this
33:04
this is kind of funny because we did a fastest possible on um what was it
33:09
refresh rates nope not that one frame uh on
33:13
um resolution while you were gone so we did a fastest possible on resolution and
33:18
I was getting sample footage of Far Cry 3 running at 720p maximum like
33:25
everything on ultra and 1080p with everything on minimum to go okay here's
33:29
an extreme example of how level of
33:32
detail versus resolution affects how a
33:35
game looks and in between switching from
33:39
720p uh right 720p maximum to 1080p not I
33:44
increased the resolution first and then I turned all the details off and I was
33:49
like you know if I pixel peep I can tell
33:54
but if I'm not looking that close like I just got a lot of performance and
34:00
it really doesn't look that different
34:04
so I'm kind of sitting here going like if you if you tailor your art style
34:08
correctly there isn't really a good reason why you can't turn off some of
34:12
the goofy effects and get a better frame rate and deliver what is in my mind a
34:16
much more playable experience i mean playing something like Mario Kart at
34:20
30fps 900p like the first thing I would tell
34:25
Nintendo is like come on man how are we supposed to play like that and yet
34:29
competitive gamers accept this on other consoles anyway this is it's actually to
34:34
throw back again to the Nintendo video that just came out 9 minutes ago in part
34:38
of that I bring up about how like Wii U is really not the most powerful platform
34:42
no it's really not but they know that and they design the games and tailor the
34:46
games for that and the art style of the games and everything still looks great
34:50
like have you have you seen the Zelda stuff no I haven't oh my god it looks
34:54
really good but then it's because it's their style yeah it's like the whole
34:59
Blizzard thing yeah Warcraft 3 is a very
35:02
visually pleasing game i mean it's got polygons that have like you know six
35:07
sides it's like this is a sword don't look too close
35:12
but it looks good because it's a style and they're pulling off a specific style
35:16
and it works really well but it Yes and I'm okay with that um and and with that
35:21
said I do I do like that you know we're
35:24
pushing the envelope graphics wise definitely but I'm I'm more okay with
35:27
that on the PC end where where we can actually have the performance to do it
35:31
anyway we're actually good i wonder what the backstory here is but AMD is hinting
35:35
that the console developers are even further along than Wii the end users
35:40
might expect um Nintendo has apparently already clearly confirmed that they have
35:46
a clear idea they did this a few months ago of what the Wii U successor will
35:50
look like and I gotta wonder like did AMD tell these guys yo dog you know it's
35:57
maybe another 20 30 bucks in bomb cost
36:00
but you really need to put a better chip in these things you need to you need
36:04
better graphics hardware in these things please let us build something better for
36:07
you like I wonder if they're just kind of sitting there laughing going "Okay
36:10
well I guess we
36:13
um but it really does feel like they just screwed it up graphics hardware
36:18
wise." And like I said we've got a really interesting video coming probably in a couple of weeks u where we're going
36:23
to take a look at how much more power it really takes to go from one resolution
36:28
to another resolution and deliver the same graphical fidelity yeah or from uh
36:33
certain frame rate to another frame rate yeah so so stay tuned for that that's
36:36
actually going to be pretty cool um what
36:39
else we got should we get into one of our like rapid fire stuff uh sure yeah
36:44
this is kind of cool okay so this is and it was originally posted on the forum
36:49
by D forum nope not a forum not a forum
36:53
thread i think I saw it on the forum actually but whatever um this
36:58
370in TV costs 1.6 million
37:04
US1 million pounds um it's
37:08
actually it's the Titan Zeus and you can
37:12
see you can see the in the picture here
37:15
like these are trees you know
37:21
uh there's there's no word on the actual image quality it's a 4K TV um so 370 in
37:28
works out to about 8 m wide by 5 m tall
37:31
and there's only been one sold to a private owner who wants to remain
37:35
anonymous that we know of so far although some people have seen it at uh
37:41
at the the at a at film festivals or and
37:45
apparently they will also be showing oh they'll be showing World Cup matches on
37:48
it so they are you can find them in
37:52
certain places but other than that this just looks like uh a because we can type
37:56
of thing at at even at 4K what is the
37:59
PPI of this thing i know at 8 m x 5 m
38:03
okay just for you personally let's say they cost the same let's say both
38:08
solutions are $1,000 okay would you want a TV or a projector
38:15
bearing in mind a projector is not going to perform that well in in a bright
38:18
environment probably a projector but it's not in the way like you can mount
38:23
it somewhere else that's what I mean like cuz like this thing is just I'd be
38:26
so worried about it getting destroyed all the time right
38:31
moving that anywhere is going to be terrible like they're saying they they've been to different shows and
38:35
stuff the first thing that popped in my mind is like how intricate the shipping
38:39
process must have been right yeah because holy crap and then it's a
38:42
projector you just throw it in a box it's like okay cool at that size I would
38:47
probably go for a projector and because I don't know like you can even see there
38:50
it's kind of black around the TV you're probably if where are you going to put
38:55
this in a house and if it's outside you're it's probably going to be at night 8 mters by 5 meters i'm just
38:59
trying to think where would you put this in a house like that's Although if you're buying a million dollar TV maybe
39:04
you can put this in a house right yeah
39:07
that's that's really big i mean 8 m that's like 25 ft
39:14
i I guess you could like you would have to build a room for it yeah but then
39:19
again at a million dollars you could even like a baller house where there's
39:23
like you know a basketball court we're talking like you're converting your
39:27
basketball court
39:30
it's kind of a big deal actually but then at a million dollars you're kind of
39:35
probably a big deal so I don't know yeah I Or the son of a big deal either way uh
39:41
oh Ghost is Ghost says it's 11.91 pixels
39:45
per inch which is sort of terrible
39:50
that's really not good i mean you're going to have to sit like like drive in
39:54
theater distance away from the So that that makes that room a lot more
39:57
difficult to set up i mean at a certain point and I I I think that this point
40:02
really is 55 in at a certain point does
40:06
a bigger TV even make any sense or are you better off just sitting closer to a
40:10
smaller TV you have to you have to wonder about room design like in in some
40:14
houses it's going to be pretty far throw distance what's what's the proper throw
40:19
distance for 55 in TV i can't remember
40:23
uh is this retina.com has sort of a measurement of of what pixel densities
40:28
will look like what will look like retina from certain distances but 55 is
40:33
pretty big for a reasonable size room whereas I think you could probably go
40:37
you could push 60 70 for something like more like a home theater like media room
40:44
but even then like you'd probably want to go projector because you're going to build a proper media room at that point
40:48
anyway and then you can throw like a nice 100 inch or whatever else and you
40:51
can do it on the cheap you can do it for a few And if you're building a media
40:55
room you can probably control the lighting yes so it's probably fine and I
41:00
would spend I would spend my million dollars on like the most badass seating
41:06
instead like with like poop holes built into each seat so you never have to move
41:11
and like Well no okay look so the way it would work is you'd have a constant
41:16
you'd have a constant suction from somewhere outside of the room so that
41:20
the smell of the poo would never actually reach the other people and then
41:25
what you could do is you could turn the suction off so that your butt doesn't get cold the entire time that you're
41:29
sitting there you have heated seats genius right the best idea ever no
41:35
but So was that like a you're a loser
41:39
did you have you seen the Rockat video that I released i haven't watched it yet
41:43
i'm familiar with the keyboard though yeah it is actually pretty interesting and I I've seen quite because my the mo
41:48
the main reason why I want to see that video is so many people ask about wireless keyboards and as it's not
41:52
technically just a wireless keyboard sorry someone just posted in Twitch chat
41:57
he put thought into this no that was off
42:00
the top of my head thank you though sorry go ahead
42:05
wow johnny says "Why are we watching this?"
42:08
Little do we know go back to Linus' house is this like in a dark room
42:12
there's this blue schematic up on the wall
42:15
i have like all these whiteboards yeah yeah yeah what if this would work we
42:21
could apply suction in exactly this way if we if we wire the pipes together we
42:25
can just have one big vacuum that's terrible sorry tell me about the rocket
42:29
thing it's wireless it's mechanical it's It's pretty cool my My biggest worry was
42:34
that like it it has a built-in mouse pad and built-in wrist rest and those are
42:38
just going to get insta destroyed yes um but it's supposed to be modular you're
42:42
supposed to be put be able to replace them i hope that it's not like this
42:46
crazy proprietary insanely expensive solution in terms of modularity yeah it
42:52
probably is probably is um but yeah so I mean it looks pretty cool it's like it's
42:56
like a desk keyboard mouse pad thing that's designed to bring gaming to the
43:00
couch better than most other desk keyboard mouse pad things that I've seen before other than potentially the couch
43:05
master but then that's like a The couch master's bulky yeah um the couch master
43:10
is multiple pieces so it's really not that elegant it's It's a very different
43:13
solution though from this one yeah so it's good in certain situations but it's
43:16
giant so I don't know it's up to you all right h Oh I was I was just thinking I
43:23
was like "Oh we should we should game tonight for after party." But the uh the
43:27
wife and kid my my wife gets off early so and then I didn't see the baby
43:31
yesterday so I guess speaking of the baby I got to feed him somehow so here
43:35
come our sponsors oh that's the wrong thing sorry i didn't mean to do that
43:39
okay so first up that's that's packs what am I What am
43:44
I doing oh like yay
43:49
we got there all right I'm let I'm going to let you thank the E3 sponsors thank
43:53
you to HyperX they brought us down to their whole HyperX offices and we got to
43:57
do an office tour and that was actually that was Did you Did you see that one part yeah I don't watch your videos uh
44:01
there was they have a 5v5 gaming land room set up okay I saw that part of it
44:06
ridiculous yeah that man those chairs man oh my Oh and they're they're really
44:12
really comfortable chairs i got to sit in one for a little while um that was
44:15
really cool uh right off camera in the gaming land room they have a constantly
44:19
stocked Monster fridge full of Monster Energy drinks hold on i have a
44:22
correction by the way back to that Pentium K anniversary edition it is two
44:26
cores two threads no hyperthreading sorry okay go ahead okay just saw that
44:31
um yeah that was pretty cool that helped me because I hadn't slept when I was
44:35
filming those Kingston videos all three of the Kingston videos i changed shirts
44:38
so it looked like different days but it was all all within the same little bit
44:42
of but it was in a range of like 30 to 34 hours that I'd been awake for filming
44:47
those videos so we walk into the land room and there's a monster fridge and
44:50
I'm like you know what's hilarious is I actually
44:54
got a message from Kingston that specifically said uh yeah it's amazing
44:59
how your team was great they were super awesome they were really professional
45:02
especially considering how little sleep they had
45:06
so thanks to Kingston for sending us down there also huge thanks to Corsair
45:10
and NCIX for sending us down there Corsair specifically wants us to
45:15
highlight the heck out of their new RGB keyboards which of course they don't
45:19
have to tell us to do no we've done that a lot cuz we we we heart we heart the
45:23
RGB keyboards all the way and then NCIX asked us to specifically call out what a
45:28
great value we think that buying a gaming rig from NCIX is and I think we
45:32
can both get on board that because compared to 50ucksucks compared to
45:35
buying a boutique rig or compared to building it yourself there's a
45:38
compelling value here because you get all the parts for the same price as it would cost to buy them off the shelf or
45:43
online from some other retailer they do price match so you literally can get
45:47
them for the same price as another retailer then they assemble it for you
45:50
for 50 bucks and that 50 bucks includes a one-year return to depot warranty that
45:55
includes troubleshooting and North American tech
45:59
support for your system so yeah yeah i
46:02
personally know people that are actually really good at building computers that are just way too lazy and have paid the
46:06
50 bucks yep and they straight up and they do a pretty good job you know it's
46:11
not it's not like old school voodoo PC
46:14
origami cabling it it isn't and they're not individually sle every wire that's
46:18
not what you're getting what you're getting is a professionally installed computer that is 50 bucks so like it's
46:25
Yeah it's actually not that bad when when I was first told I used to build
46:28
computers for people for like I think it was like 75 and I heard NX was doing it
46:32
for 50 and I was like "Oh I I really hope this doesn't get
46:36
out." All right so our next sponsor call
46:39
out and this one is a huge deal this time next week I will be getting ready
46:44
to get on a plane and go climb the uh
46:49
second highest mountain in the uh in the lower 48 wait are we having a win show
46:54
uh yeah there will be a land show he said this time next week I'll be getting ready a win show well readyish are we
47:00
streaming oh just calm down anyway there's there's W show next week so
47:04
we're going to be uh we're going to be preparing to hike Mount Elbert with a
47:09
huge group uh hopefully huge people just
47:12
they got to confirm and get their tickets booked but Austin Evans has his
47:15
ticket booked he's coming logan from Tech Syndicate is co-hosting the event
47:20
with us so this is a 100% collaborative project between Linus Tech Tips and Tech
47:26
Syndicate so they're going to have Kane there from their team they're going to
47:29
have How many times should we ask Kane about his glasses on camera zero
47:35
all right so the tech syndicate team's going to be there paul and Kyle from Newegg might be there and then TLD today
47:41
and tech of tomorrow so Jonathan and Elrich are like pretty much 100% going
47:46
to be there so it's going to be an all-star cast of guys going up and
47:49
having a land at the top of the mountain peak it's going to be freaking awesome
47:54
and ASUS is making this possible with their I don't want to say too much about
47:58
it because I don't know how much information is out there but with a really cool gaming notebook some people
48:03
know PE uh I'm not Yeah let's just leave
48:06
it for now because I'm I'm not 100% sure so really cool gaming notebook Intel is
48:10
in on the action as well so these will be Core i7 powered gaming notebooks and
48:14
finally Corsair is making us hike to the top of a mountain carrying RGB keyboards
48:19
we're very thankful to Corsair for being involved in making this event possible
48:23
but I really wish I didn't have to carry a mechanical keyboard with an aluminum
48:26
back plate up a mountain but it's going to be awesome guys there's going to be
48:30
some great content coming out of this some collabs some vlogs so be excited
48:34
for that and a huge thanks to those guys someone in the chat just said "Hey
48:38
guys." Hey guys welcome to the world's highest land party
48:43
when I I This is the first time I would have like formally met Lou or Austin oh
48:47
yeah e3 yeah and I was like semi-
48:50
disappointed that right when I walked a walked up Austin wasn't like "Hey guys."
48:55
I was really hoping that was going to happen oh I love trolling him about that
48:58
it's so fun so fun the the the video that he posted on his channel from CES
49:03
with him uh Dimmitri Dmitri from Hardware Connects I think it was me and
49:09
MKBHD um he's he like wanted everyone to
49:12
introduce themselves and I'm like "Hey guys it's me Lionus from Lionus Tech
49:17
Tips." And Austin's just like "No."
49:22
That's great oh he's a good guy i'm really looking forward to this trip it's
49:25
gonna be a lot of fun that was awesome did you Did you know that we posted a
49:29
video on L's channel no nick myself Brandon Austin were all in a video on
49:34
L's channel oh that's cool it's uh we got to check out the possibly a
49:39
prototype like they're using it for case manufacturing iPhone 6 oo yeah and he
49:45
like he dropped it on the table while already filming and we're all just like
49:49
what what is this and he like told us what it was on film and then we have all
49:53
first impressions and everything lou is such a badass i how how does he get this
49:58
stuff he is a badass that's all there is to say about it that's all there is to
50:02
say he's a badass uh I really I really
50:06
wanted him to come to the Highlander event and he really wanted to come but
50:09
it just didn't work out this time but uh you know guys don't be surprised to see
50:14
some kind of collaborative effort between Linus Tech Tips and Unbox
50:17
Therapy sometime sometime to to kind of make up for that to each other because
50:21
we we owe each other to to hang out i I and I think Lou was pretty disappointed
50:25
when he messaged me he was like "Hey do you want to get together?" Blah blah blah you guys are at E3 i'm like "Yeah
50:30
I'm not actually there my guys are there but I'm not." He's just
50:33
like "Okay
50:37
okay." And then we ended up going to a
50:40
dinner and a lunch with him so Brandon
50:43
Nick and I have met Lou more times than you have i think I have
50:48
had I I the I don't know if I've had
50:52
more meals with him than you actually cuz I bailed on him at CES cuz I had to
50:56
go to like AMD's party and they were
51:00
they like paid our way for that two days they covered our hotel and everything
51:04
and if I didn't show up at that party I was going to be like a really bad person
51:08
and I bailed on I bailed on Lou and Lamar Wilson and uh who else was there
51:12
for that i got to meet Lamar Wilson as well yeah
51:15
i suck i'm a bad person speaking of things that suck this product really
51:20
doesn't make a lot of sense to me i wouldn't say it sucks i think it's a
51:23
it's a cool idea the original articles on Hexus and this is Philips's um
51:28
virtually seamless twoin- one monitor so they showed this off at Comp Computex
51:32
and what they've basically done is they've put two ultra thin bezel 19in
51:38
display panels on a single stand and
51:41
they allow them to be rotated up to 22 1/2° this won um a Computex Gold Award
51:49
for outstanding innovation which was a little bit confusing to me because
51:52
Samsung had their MDX series which allowed you to have three or six panels
51:57
off of a single stand um quite a while back and I'm pretty sure that you know
52:03
monitor stands have been doing this for a while but the innovation here is the
52:08
virtual seamlessness between the monitors the one thing that I really
52:13
question about it and sort of why I segueed into this with speaking of sucks
52:17
is the one thing I question here is what is the value here compared to a 21 by9
52:23
monitor which has are these individually able to
52:27
be rotated yes the if if you can flip one completely over I might understand
52:32
it for office situations flip it over no not like that like you can you can move
52:36
them a bit oh not that yeah so compared to just a completely flat monitor I
52:40
guess it's nice to have them angled in at you a little bit but for this product
52:44
to be a success I would have to see it be very inexpensive i would have to see
52:48
it be targeted at business users who are
52:52
typically buying you know whatever uh that Acer one that we really like with
52:56
the slim bezel who are typically buying something like that and putting them next to each other if you're going to
53:00
save me a few millimeters of bezel space um I don't expect to pay a massive
53:04
premium for it so that's my sort of take on that
53:08
i' I've seen cuz when I first saw this which was very not that long ago I
53:13
assumed that you could take one of them and flip it over because I've seen that be pretty interesting in office
53:17
situations because if someone's sitting on the other side of the desk right and you want to show them put me on that
53:21
monitor flip it over it'll auto correct when it gets to the other side and they can see it and that's actually kind of
53:25
cool but then yeah I guess not all right so moving on to Daron's Magv keyboard
53:32
you want to cover this you're the keyboard dork um I'm just ah see but I'm
53:37
not really that interested i know I cover things I'm not interested in all
53:41
the time i don't think this is a good idea every time I talk well then say
53:44
it's not a good idea that's what this show is idea because Okay so it's the
53:47
it's the weekly analysis and news show
53:51
analyze can't spell analyze without anal
53:55
okay so it's blah blah blah blah blah you can you can this will hopefully be
53:59
able to get uh reduction in thickness in notebooks because you don't need as much
54:02
space for the keys yeah for like the plastic junk that goes in there yeah
54:05
yeah yeah and they're using magnetic levitation to keep the keys in a raised
54:09
position which already sounds potentially not good um it's I I don't
54:15
That's about it i'm worried about the magnetic levitation thing because you can throw off magnets with uh minor
54:21
impacts and it's in a laptop that's true so if
54:25
it bumps around too much and stuff like a lot of people are throwing SSDs in laptops now and then not treating them
54:30
as carefully as they did when they used to have hard drives in them right because a big problem with tossing your
54:33
notebook around used to be the hard drive if you throw magnets in there
54:37
impacts could be an issue um another thing is the depth is not very high
54:43
which is the whole point they're trying to slim it down more but the whole point
54:48
is that that's going to suck because if you've ever tried typing on a completely
54:53
flat surface that's terrible speaking of surface I see this being very applicable
54:57
for something like Microsoft Surface yeah I could see that something like a
55:01
type cover could benefit from this where thinness is the priority not um you know
55:06
the the tactile feedback yeah um but it looks like initial impressions of this
55:11
are that the travel distance isn't long enough and then I don't really see there
55:15
being any benefit on something like a going over just a straight up touch like
55:19
a more normal size notebook like that this is this is fairly large where you
55:23
have room for a larger design or this one this this is Yeah yeah yeah yeah
55:28
there you go um I don't know it's just it's it's
55:32
going to be a bad typing experience and if you just went for like a capacitive
55:36
touch which is going to feel worse but if if thickness is the priority I've t
55:42
you did you ever type on the touch cover from the original it was terrible but it
55:47
was really thin and I mean yeah
55:51
like this i don't think this is going to be a great experience is it going to be enough to be because it's probably going
55:55
to be thicker than a capacitive type oh yeah for sure it'll be thicker than that
56:00
so So you're going thicker you're sacrificing that thinness for a slightly
56:03
better experience which is still not a good experience well you haven't tried
56:07
it yet yeah but I I I can I'm making
56:10
assumptions to be 100% honest but I don't think it's going to be a very good
56:13
typing experience i don't know i'm It's It's interesting because it's new
56:17
technology although I don't I don't really think it's going to be a huge
56:20
thing personally all right so let's move on to something that I'm extremely buttthurt about this isn't the kind of
56:25
thing stupid this isn't the kind of thing that we normally cover on this
56:28
show like oh Google changed one feature or Apple added one thing to their You
56:34
know what this is so ridiculous google
56:38
is doing away with the ability to add a
56:41
calendar invitation to an email i use this every single day we use this a lot
56:47
it is so handy so in the old
56:51
days and like okay I'll any in the old
56:56
days all you had to do was within an email click add calendar invitation it
57:02
pops up a little box and anyone else who gets that email can say yes no maybe and
57:08
it automatically adds that event to your own calendar so that you don't have to
57:12
go over to your calendar set it up find
57:16
a sharable link to it go back to your email and send it to someone and the
57:19
reason they're doing away with it is because spammers are using it to send
57:23
calendar invitations to
57:27
people okay why do we care so So what
57:31
we're gonna we're gonna cancel email because spammers are using it to send
57:35
unwanted messages to you don't have to accept the invitation
57:40
super dumb super not impressed we actually do use this a lot and the thing
57:44
is it's not just internally we do use a lot internally but I'll get messages
57:48
from people that we're working with with calendar invites this is going to get
57:51
super annoying like why take it out it's
57:55
It's like they don't want me to use Gmail google's been doing a lot of weird
57:59
crap lately so mad and it's one of those things where it's like you know what
58:03
we're business users like if you're
58:06
going to take it away fine take it away from the free accounts or something and
58:11
then even though if if we're talking paid accounts then I don't think you're
58:15
going to have an issue with people abusing it because you there's not going to be that many to filter through and
58:19
find out who's abusing it right whereas business users need this kind of
58:25
thing anything that saves a little bit of time is enough to convince me to
58:28
change platforms and like taking integration away rather
58:34
than building it up is infuriating so
58:38
I'm mad i'm making sure you guys all know that I'm mad and I guess that's all
58:42
I really have to say about it yeah i don't know there's there's really not
58:46
that much else to say about it happy topic swiftkey yeah Swift Key is free
58:50
now dog that's awesome i posted this on Facebook and it was basically like Swift
58:55
Key is free go get it please uh this was posted originally on the forum by Top
58:59
War Gamer thank you very much for posting that um basically don't feel bad
59:03
if you paid though you get 10 free skins
59:06
so you get like a 10 pack of cool looking skins for your keyboard so I
59:10
went and cashed that in right away in fact you know it's funny cuz normally I
59:13
don't really give a crap about skins or
59:16
free perks or whatever for software that I have but Swift Key I was like I was on
59:21
that yeah and everyone at NCIX today because we've all got Swift Key I was
59:25
like "Did you get your packs?" They're like "Yeah
59:28
that's pretty cool that's pretty cool." And like when I first heard about this I
59:32
didn't know about the the theme packs and all that kind of stuff and I was like "Damn I bought that not that long
59:36
ago." And I was semi- disappointed and then I talked to this guy and he's like
59:39
"Free theme packs?" And I'm like "Awesome they handled it really well."
59:43
And I mean you know what even if I did pay for it and and now it's free I still
59:48
don't feel bad about it i got my money i like Swift Key i I it tells me it tells
59:52
me how many hundreds of thousands of keystrokes I've saved you know there's
59:55
still something I really wish they would address and that's when it auto corrects
59:59
something and you don't like it when you backspace it really needs to revert
60:04
like please someone at Swift Key feels awkward can you please just go fix that
60:09
um that's something that that's the one thing that the Google keyboard does way
60:13
better than Swift Key when I got Moto X again I was on Google Keyboard for a
60:18
little while and there are a few things like that that I like about it but
60:21
overall after using it for like a week or so you're like "Yeah I just need
60:25
Swift Key again." Every time Every time I do a phone review like I'm working on
60:29
the G3 right now yeah every time I do a phone review I try to use that vendor
60:32
stock keyboard for a bit and it's like a fiasco every time i'm just like "No no
60:37
no forget it." Can you leak some thoughts i'm interested i actually I
60:44
really like the vis it's off right now sorry um the camera's great i really
60:48
like the visual style of their uh of their latest skin uh some of the
60:52
navigation of their skin definitely needs some work um I I really liked
60:57
Sony's skin i really like HTC's i'm um
61:01
not a huge fan of Samsung's and so far I
61:04
would say this falls on the not a fan of it side of being a fan um but I haven't
61:10
spent much time with it and you can turn some things off that's what I noticed with the G2 i've only been switched to
61:14
it for like a day and a half oh actually
61:17
and there's definitely some cool stuff already like uh HTC copied the whole
61:21
double touch to turn the screen on thing yeah that's so nice hardcore copied it
61:25
well LG upped the ante this time because now you can do you can do a code so
61:31
instead of cuz double double tapping I find I accidentally activate it all the
61:35
time whereas now you can you can knock a code into the phone and it'll only
61:39
unlock if you do it a specific way i think that's really cool pretty cool i'm
61:42
down with that yeah so there's little stuff that I really like so far um but
61:47
guys stay tuned for the full review also I've got a I'm going to be working on
61:51
the Pad phone soon oh interesting pad phone X so that's that phone tablet
61:54
hybrid thing you can pull that out of the box what are your thoughts because
61:58
I'm a huge fan of the back buttons but what are your thoughts on the back buttons back buttons i like them so far
62:03
it's still very disconcerting cuz I've only been switched to it for a little while yeah yeah but this is the coolest
62:07
thing about it check this out i was going to say is is that a North American
62:11
blast from the past guys
62:14
antennas well is that a North American phone no it's not this is a Korean phone
62:18
it's for TV but uh I I got a kick out of it you know it's funny because I don't
62:24
understand why they don't just put it on the North American model because sometimes your reception is a little bit
62:29
borderline and I can't imagine it would hurt to have an external antenna nope
62:34
like I don't know why they're afraid to put it on people don't have to take it
62:37
out just have it on there and it's so small and light anyway this is the uh
62:42
this is the Padphone Phone X not that impressed with the bulkiness of it so
62:47
far um am that impressed with the
62:52
seamlessness of turning it into a tablet and it's not powered on right now but
62:56
yeah with the seamlessness of turning it into a tablet and with the fact that
62:59
it's going to be priced similarly to what would normally just be a standard
63:03
phone so stay tuned for that review as well this one between the fact that it
63:07
has wireless charging and the fact that it converts to a tablet may win me over
63:12
from the 1M8 so we'll see it's not
63:15
annoying when you hold it this way to have a phone cuz you can actually use the bottom of the phone thing to like
63:20
hold on to the tablet and it's got a solid hardware spec so it it may win me
63:25
over we'll see interesting no guarantees on that one um all right oh speaking of
63:30
Nintendo this was originally posted on the forum by Rafi and uh it's not
63:35
actually related to Nintendo but it's Microsoft trying to take feedback from
63:38
their users unfortunately and I'm not going to generalize about Xbox users but
63:44
unfortunately um some of the top voted
63:47
ideas are just stupid but basically the
63:50
site xbox.uservoice.com uservoice.com allows you to go and suggest things to
63:54
the Xbox team vote on other people's suggestions and just generally Microsoft
64:01
I guess they've just kind of given up they're like "We don't know what to do
64:04
so help us help you." And I'm glad
64:07
that's the right way to do it good job Microsoft so I just want to give them a
64:12
big thumbs up because I think we were beating them up a little bit what are some of the highrated terrible comments
64:16
oh this one with like 5,000 thumbs up is
64:20
um um oh can we get we want Xbox 360
64:25
game backwards compatibility and that's like the top
64:28
upvoted suggestion with like 5,000 thumbs up and I'm just kind of sitting
64:32
here going like are you are are you stupid like do you really think
64:36
Microsoft didn't think of that if that was a possibility like do you think they
64:40
didn't think of that we're we're talking emulating a console that is emulating a
64:46
console on a completely different architecture that's not you know two or
64:51
three generations ago it is it's a
64:55
stupid suggestion like the games would have to
65:00
be ported straight up and then you could make them available in the arcade or
65:04
something and is Microsoft really going to run around and and you know ask every
65:10
game developer to port all their games and put them in the market no it's like
65:15
yeah I I get that that's what you want but you have to focus on things that are
65:19
real i mean backwards compatibility for gaming consoles was never really a thing
65:26
it happened what once with the PS2 being backwards
65:30
compatible with the PS1 the PS3 had it initially but then it went away can you
65:34
play Xbox games on Xbox 360
65:38
some it was It was very It was a lot it was It was a scattershot thing though
65:42
yeah it was so you go back before it's
65:45
not like the SNES could play NES games
65:48
until like way later and you got this weird cartridge thing sorry the adapter
65:53
cartridge thing so you could get like weird adapter cartridges but even then
65:56
not all the games worked like it was like it's never really been a like yes
66:02
this is a thing we're 100% on board this you're going to be able to to to play
66:06
all your old games on your new consoles you can play Wii games on Wii U as well
66:10
yes you can but I'm just saying it's not
66:13
something that is all over the place people are saying GameCube games on Wii
66:18
i've I didn't know you could do that i don't
66:21
know how you do that yeah it's uh the small discs you just load them in the
66:25
the same way yeah you just you just aim yep like it happens i'm just saying it's
66:30
No I hear you yeah i'm just trying to give examples cuz people are freaking out in the chat it it's something where
66:34
it's not if it's not fundamentally built into it or the architecture isn't
66:38
somehow similar it's just not going to happen i mean the Wii was a lot more
66:41
powerful than the Gamecube which helps a lot the uh something like the Super
66:45
Nintendo was so much more powerful than the NES that we're we're talking about
66:50
using all that extra power to emulate something or however it needs to be
66:54
implemented with the Xbox One versus the Xbox 360 they're not similar enough and
66:58
the power difference is not enough i mean even PCs are having trouble
67:02
emulating Xbox 360 games that's very
67:05
difficult just emulation's weird that's why emulation's weird and the the the
67:10
truth of the matter is that even someone like Microsoft has to ultimately emulate
67:15
an older console unless they do what you
67:18
know Sony did with the early PS3s where they're just putting an emotion chip in
67:22
it and we saw how much that cost and how
67:25
they bailed on that like what was it months later yeah yeah those early
67:29
PlayStation 3s though are worth a lot of money because you can install Linux on
67:32
them and you can run them as like servers and stuff and you can emulate
67:36
old games and like yeah they're they're actually legitimately valuable people
67:39
are like backwards compatibility is just a number and I've got people in the
67:42
Twitch chat pointing out that the PC back has excellent backwards
67:46
compatibility yes it does it's amazing
67:49
whereas consoles it's just like random it's like
67:55
try putting a Nest cartridge into a Wii U um another thing uh Microsoft
67:59
announcement that I don't know if is in the dock is the Halo Master Chief
68:03
Edition did you hear about that at all
68:06
halo Master i don't think it's in the dock oh yeah yeah yeah yeah i heard
68:09
about that so we're getting a re-released what halos one two three
68:13
four three and four the numbered ones with Master Chief in it not the offshoots like ODST or Reach right um
68:19
it's it's it's interesting they're doing some cool things with it like the
68:23
remastered screenshots actually look really good right they're not changing
68:26
the mechanics and Halo 2 multiplayer is coming back which Halo 2 mi is coming
68:30
back halo 2 one Halo 1 multiplayer will exist on consoles we have to specify on
68:35
consoles because we were playing that like last week on PC um but it will
68:39
exist on consoles yay pc backwards compatibility
68:43
it actually runs better yeah it really
68:46
does and they're not going to like quote unquote fix things so like the pistol in
68:50
Halo 1 is still going to be massively overpowered which is great they'll have
68:53
an interesting They'll have a few interesting matchmaking modes like one where it's just all random so it'll just
68:58
cue you and you'll it'll like put your lobby and be like "Okay you're going to
69:01
play Halo 2 on this map." Nice and it'll
69:06
just launch that game and it can it can bounce around in between the games really well apparently it's supposed to
69:10
have seamless loading between games if you're going through campaign so like if
69:14
you finish Halo one it'll just be like you're now on First Mission Halo 2 nice
69:17
it just flows right through nice there's some interesting things so just like
69:21
when Arrested Development uh relaunched with all the all the episodes at once
69:26
and nobody slept it's going to be about like that I guess yeah yeah yeah i think
69:31
it would be interesting to play through all the campaigns and stuff back toback but like I don't see this selling Xbox
69:35
ones either i do 100% yeah i wouldn't buy an Xbox
69:41
One for it personally because if I had all these games I could just go back and
69:46
play them and the remastered thing is cool
69:49
ah being able to play online you've bought remastered games before yeah but
69:52
I haven't bought a console to buy the remastered games you know what I mean i
69:56
have definitely bought remastered games i actually do like remastered games i have no I actually really like that they
70:01
remastered Halo 1 and 2 i've bought remastered games
70:04
the the only thing that I could actually see them selling a console for is like Halo 2 multiplayer because remember how
70:09
big of a deal that was when they closed that down yep the guys that were like
70:12
refusing to shut down their consoles and people were like shipping them fans and
70:16
stuff to keep their consoles running like yeah shutting down the Halo 2
70:20
multiplayer servers was not a very cleancut decision so I think people are
70:24
going to be stoked that those are back i'd love to see them do this bundle on
70:28
the PC if they ask for if they ask for 60 bucks 75 bucks for it on the PC I'll
70:32
I'll pay for it i don't care 100% yeah that would be awesome preferably on
70:36
Steam that would be great yep no games for Windows Live
70:41
woo gets better and better all the time yeah yeah yeah someone Yeah someone just
70:45
said "Luke underestimates the nostalgia of Halo 2 multiplayer." Yeah i just had
70:48
that realization it'll it'll probably sell a console halo 2 multiplayer was a
70:53
really I played Halo 2 multiplayer so much ridiculous so yeah yeah it's a good
70:59
point speaking of uh speaking of new gen consoles let's talk old gen consoles for
71:03
a second uh I don't even know if this is really news but apparently uh Titanfall
71:08
runs at 600p at 46 FPS on the Xbox 360
71:13
so someone uh used uh capture device in
71:16
order to find out how many frames it was actually rendering so I thought that was
71:19
kind of interesting i was I was wondering it would it would be kind of
71:22
an interesting setup but it it'd be kind of fun to like benchmark consoles every
71:26
once in a while yeah because you can feel them chug you can feel them not run
71:30
at 30 or 60 FPS because they make these claims and I'm like well it's not going
71:33
to be a constant FPS anyways so when you're claiming this like craptastic
71:37
resolution and craptastic FPS is that
71:40
like when you're staring at the floor cuz who knows no in theory that's the
71:45
lowest dip right but it's there's no way
71:49
all right so this was originally posted on the forum by Dazed Cobra 42 and uh
71:54
this is something that some people think is no big deal other people think is a
71:59
huge deal and that is that Comcast is converting 50,000 home routers in
72:04
Houston into public Wi-Fi hotspots so
72:08
basically it'll only work if you're using your Comcast
72:13
uh wireless router modem combo unit and
72:17
whoever's accessing your router will not
72:20
be able to use up your data plan or see your home network but the idea is they
72:25
want to turn it into citywide Wi-Fi hotspots for their
72:30
customers apparently this is already a thing in other
72:34
countries and I' I've seen posts in the
72:37
thread on our forum where people are pretty positive about the idea and how
72:40
it works but one drawback that I can see is that
72:46
unless they're somehow managing the connection with
72:51
magic to ensure that my ping times in my
72:54
game don't get increased because someone is walking by you know u torrenting on
73:00
the sidewalk outside of my house if they can find a way that that doesn't happen
73:04
and they can't access my network and they can't uh utilize any of my monthly
73:10
bandwidth limitation then I guess I don't care i don't think any of those
73:14
things are going to happen and you can opt out okay you can opt out a lot of
73:18
people aren't going to know this is a thing but most people won't notice
73:23
at all so um this is super
73:27
dumb because like Yeah okay it's not going to affect your your your bill
73:32
but it's going to affect your availability but think about this okay
73:35
so as a Shaw customer or Telus customer or whatever you have at your place um
73:39
you want to tell us right okay so as a Telus customer if you
73:45
could you know let's okay here great example let's say E3 wasn't in um let's
73:51
say it wasn't in LA let's say it was in Toronto and or Okay I guess Toronto's a
73:56
bad example they don't have to tell us there okay whatever but point is what if E3 was in Vancouver so you're out of
74:00
your house you want to upload a video and public Wi-Fi is crap so it was what
74:06
i'm sorry it was public Wi-Fi was 100% so let's say public Wi-Fi was crap let's
74:09
say you're a Telus customer and all you have to do is walk down the street wait
74:14
to find another house that has a Teles customer in it beep beep boop and you've
74:17
got a solid internet connection where I can upload videos and destroy their
74:21
connection okay i didn't destroy it hold on i said "How would you feel about
74:27
being the person who has access to Wi-Fi hotspots everywhere?" I would feel good
74:31
and I would destroy that kid's internet who's just trying to play a video game
74:35
cuz that's why the public Wi-Fi there was terrible everyone was just trying to
74:39
upload stuff the whole time and it was bad i have a screenshot on Twitter of
74:43
our like estimated upload time 20,000 minutes from our hotel because the the
74:48
internet was just like nope so yeah your
74:51
your your your your bill isn't going to be worse the integrity of your data is
74:56
probably not going to be harmed the availability of things online is
75:00
probably going to have an issue and that's not okay in my opinion so Steph
75:04
says "The Comcast thing has been around in Belgium for almost a decade it has a
75:08
four user limitation and shaped traffic." Okay well those are things I
75:12
didn't know about okay but this is this is in Belgium this is not Comcast
75:15
comcast might implement it however they implement it but there's a precedent for
75:19
this oh and apparently it's nationwide
75:22
currently available for business class customers now it's going to residential so there you go interesting i mean as
75:28
long as it doesn't affect it I am pretty happy about it if I'm on one of these
75:33
things and it's available to me and I'm ever near someone's house I'm just going
75:36
to wreck their connection unless they unless it's unless it's shaped or
75:39
throttled so that you can't destroy it it's not going to be that helpful
75:44
unless all you need to do is like you know find a But then you should be using
75:48
your cell phone if you're just looking up a map or whatever okay well let's say
75:52
your cell phone's out of battery but you happen to have your laptop and no USB
75:58
cables and no USB ca No uh yes and no USB cables and no battery banks whatever
76:03
screw you um let's do a Twitter blitz let's do a
76:08
Twitter blitz let's let you guys tell us what you think of this are you okay with
76:12
your ISP allowing other people to use your connection as long as and this is I
76:16
guess they should use their quabillions of dollars and just set up proper public
76:21
Wi-Fi okay this is another thing that really bothers me remember when that story broke about the back doors that
76:26
were built into all these routers so if you're saying the integrity thing oh
76:29
they're not going to see your network someone's going to figure it out so if if it was
76:33
bulletproof then it's fine like if we were if we were talking like like two
76:39
separate you know firmware firmwares
76:42
running on the on like two separate storage devices on the router like and
76:47
they're like sharing two in sharing physical resources but otherwise a
76:52
completely different set of software then I'm like yeah okay whatever fine go
76:55
for it if we're talking about somehow
76:59
this can be exploited I'm I'm sure and there's got to be something in terms of
77:02
data sniffing because you're going on the same line i don't know i don't know
77:07
enough about that but when you're when you're on a different network because I
77:11
have to I don't I'm not sure how they're splitting it which is part of the
77:15
problem so Stefan says oops uh Stefan
77:18
says um connection is entirely separated from yours uh data plan wise also
77:23
bandwidth it's not necessarily like I don't know if they
77:28
can necessarily do that not not probably enough right because
77:34
like they're shaping it or whatever but is it giving 100% priority to the person
77:39
in the house 100% because we we utilize
77:44
our data connection here at Lis Media Group a lot so if this happened to our
77:47
router and we somehow didn't turn off the option thing if we didn't opt out we
77:52
instantly opt out but if we didn't we
77:55
would be we would possibly have issues if they had any percentage of the
77:59
connection right because we like we're in Canada we don't have that great of
78:02
internet and we we really utilize our internet connection that's another thing
78:06
if you have like a crazy pipe going to that house maybe it's not as big of a
78:11
deal um Alakan is saying that on Tech
78:15
Syndicate they were talking about Comcast using your electricity for this
78:19
yeah I get it but you're you're H it seems pretty negligible I mean yeah
78:26
they are it's not right and it's not it's not it's not right but it's not the
78:30
kind of thing that I would probably lodge a complaint with my you know local
78:34
representative about
78:37
um okay wow i got 36 responses now but
78:42
they should just have public router yeah exactly they they should be doing this
78:46
infrastructure on their own they shouldn't be utilizing other customers right nothing is bulletproof when it
78:51
comes to networking again I don't know how you're going to do it someone's
78:54
going to figure out some way wait where'd you where'd you get that up a little bit oh yeah nothing is
78:57
bulletproof when it comes to networking that's a very important point uh Sam
79:00
says "ISPs need to become less intrusive give us a good service and shut up we
79:05
don't get the water company calling us offering better water." You know what
79:08
Sam that is a retweet right there that
79:11
is the first time we have ever taken something on the WAN Show and it has
79:15
been so bang on that we have to tweet it immediately that was really good um they
79:21
need to ask and his last name is really close to
79:24
fluoride good no I don't care i'm not looking at
79:29
it fine that's not that close it's not close at
79:34
all i thought it was closer
79:38
anyways
79:41
you should test your XPS12 for image burn-in issue uh the image burn-in issue
79:45
is terrible on my XPS12 like like super
79:49
bad like I can see my desktop and I am in I am in metro mode so yes I'm aware
79:54
of the issue it's terrible it doesn't
79:58
really affect me using the computer and I still do like it comcast may be able
80:02
to increase your bandwidth if you're sharing a connection but I'm against this security breach imminent security
80:06
breach imminent no it's mine if you're giving me a
80:10
monthly discount to offer up my connection to others now we're talking
80:14
that's a good point Nathaniel and I could see but they're going to be like you get 50 cents or nothing or or lower
80:20
yeah nothing um they have their own hotspot infrastructure yep which is what
80:25
they should be doing tom asks "How's your experience with the Pebble Steel going?" Really like the ID it is It is
80:31
much nicer looking in my opinion than the old Pebble that I had you did order
80:35
one in bright orange yeah but it was
80:39
more about the bulk and the and the plastickiness this has a glass front
80:43
panel which makes a big difference to readability especially now that I've scratched the heck out of a plastic one
80:48
um and I think it just looks way more professional way more stylish i I'm very
80:52
pleased so far using the hotspot to download torrent and not using my
80:56
monthly cap yay you know what i got to wonder because Shaw has Shaw has public
81:01
hotspots and I wonder if it counts towards your
81:04
cap because you have to log into them and dodging uh touring stuff if you
81:10
pirateed on the public network using a Wi-Fi connection but if they are if they
81:16
ask you to log in with your customer ID the way that Shaw does then it'll Good
81:20
call that's even more trackable yeah yeah there's there isn't even any
81:24
plausible deniability like "Oh I didn't have my Wi-Fi network secured it with
81:27
someone outside my house um if anyone is using my internet I'll go completely mad
81:31
don't want people making me No no you don't pay for the other people to use your internet it doesn't work that way
81:36
it doesn't count towards your bandwidth limit i've been here for years in the
81:40
UK allow you to opt in oh so you have to
81:45
opt in to use other people's hotspots
81:48
okay that's kind of all right if it starts but you were talking you can opt
81:53
out this is a you would have to opt in like I like this system that's cool yeah
81:57
I like that swallox is not okay
82:02
hell no especially not considering Comcast's reputation yeah it's kind of a
82:06
That's like Yeah you have to assume anything coming out of there is going to
82:09
be terrible to find why it's terrible
82:12
it's usually not that hard though let's play the find why it's terrible game
82:18
featuring Comcast and EA
82:23
ea hasn't done anything that evil lately have they they probably I haven't been
82:27
paying a ton of attention there's probably been some all right well I
82:30
think that's pretty much it for the WAN Show guys oh right okay i'll let you
82:36
talk about Oculus again for a second this was originally posted on the forum by Top War Gamer and Facebook boss Mark
82:41
Zuckerberg sees Oculus as a chance to get the device into as many hands as
82:45
possible price be damned and he says uh
82:49
oh uh there's there's that quote saying the Oculus Rift will sell at the lowest
82:53
cost possible there's also Palmer saying that it will sell at cost what Palmer
82:57
actually meant by selling at cost was including things like bomb cost shipping
83:04
distribution all that stuff so like they're not looking to gain money off of
83:10
sales of individual Oculus they just don't want to lose they're not losing
83:14
money though mark Zuckerberg doesn't seem to give any cares no yeah lose all
83:18
the money put Oculuses in the hands of everyone um there's been a ton of stuff
83:22
coming out there was the interview that I had um where he was talking about how
83:27
um tons of people are working on input
83:30
stuff that's even not announced right and then there was another interview
83:35
where he actually like semi admitted to
83:38
Oculus working on other hardware that isn't the Rift interesting they're
83:44
working on their own input solutions they're working on all that kind of stuff they're also working on firstparty
83:48
games so developing their own games under Oculus and with recent hires like
83:53
one of the co-founders of Naughty Dog some people are expecting some like
83:58
pretty legit stuff so interesting things
84:01
coming out of there i would highly recommend to shill for myself and tell
84:05
everyone to go watch the Oculus video where I talked to Palmer about how 30
84:08
FPS gaming is pathetic yeah how cool was that for you that was really
84:12
cool that was awesome um highlight of
84:15
the trip yeah probably before that the highlight of the trip was control VR
84:19
which no one is watching um but then but then I got to talk to Palmer which was
84:24
actually really really cool speaking of things um people should people should
84:28
watch the show's the show's kind of over at this point oh yeah yeah yeah um ASUS
84:33
North America so we just had uh we had a
84:37
video that we created for ASUS that they just launched on their channel so you
84:42
guys should definitely go check it out oh put it all the sound hold on where is
84:47
it here we go here we go here we go i'm posting it in the Twitch chat right now
84:51
a couple people are saying that they watched it thanks guys i appreciate it
84:55
it's getting less views than our like totally unknown game indie content which
84:59
is like oh no that's not the one that Oh people are saying they watched your video okay the one that I'm posting is
85:04
um me and Luke having a night battle over the opportunity to uh to to like
85:10
win a notebook so it's like it's kind of it's kind of funny which is funny
85:13
because we both ended up with them yeah I know i never realized that part of the
85:16
story line that's awesome what is this all right
85:23
thanks for watching guys you know okay oh okay we should we should like end the
85:28
stream do do our intro thing end the stream and then start up an afterparty
85:31
afterwards because that's what we did last time and I know they probably didn't but I heard Taran plotting we
85:37
don't have any water this week
85:41
we need to We have moldy Twinkies oh my god
85:45
okay we definitely have moldy Twinkies Twinkies and Minecraft weapons
85:53
this could legitimately hurt someone yeah okay we're prepared you're more
85:58
prepared than me this could like actually damage them all right guys
86:02
thanks for watching we'll see you again next week byebye
