 It's WAN Showtime and I am very upset. This is quite emotionally striking for him right now. Yeah, I am really not sure how to process this right now. Okay, legitimately, this is weird. Yes. Like even just that part. And the fact that in order to like administer the show, I go over here, like the number of years that I have been sitting to your left. And this is what happens when we let A' work on the WAN Show set. You were sitting there, so you were party to it. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay, so one of my questions is why didn't they just put the little table over here? I don't know. I'm gonna ask them to move it because I can't take this. Okay, one thing too, is this the way that we sat on the couch? No. Yes. Oh, hold on. No, I was on the left still. Are you sure? No. I'm pretty sure I was on the left. But back then, you still had to administer to the left because the table was forward and to the left. We have to go really far back. I have to look it up because I don't know. Oh, here we go. Oh, yes, I used to be on this side. Yeah, but everything was in the middle. It was in the middle to the left. Okay, okay. Anyway, other than what is clearly wrong and terrible, we have a great show for you guys today. Intel launched Optane DIMMs. So like memory modules, but like using Optane. Super cool. AMD is preparing new CPUs, which are super uninteresting. But it's still good that they're doing that. But it's good that they're doing that because the more pressure we put on Intel, the more likely they are to release something other than Optane DIMMs. Those are still kind of cool. ARM is introducing a new processor with insane performance. Hooray. It's going to be the Razer processor. Oh, wow. Did you ever see his keynote on the Razer phone? It's insane. Insane performance. You know what? They put so much work into that phone that it was insane. I know what you're talking about. You know what's funny? The rest of the internet didn't seem to really pick up on that. Or they didn't think it was as funny. Maybe it's because I know him. Maybe that's part of it. I was watching someone that I know in real life try to do CEO keynote guy things. And I was like, oh, man, you still have some work to do. What else we've got? We've got a couple of rumors that Apple is going to be launching one iPhone model next year with three rear cameras. Everyone is getting closer to that. What was that camera called with all the... Does it start with an L? I don't know what it's called. There's like a million lenses on the front. We're getting closer to that becoming a reality. Also, the Intel Core i7 8086K is confirmed. We'll get to that after the intro. I don't know. Maybe it still works. I don't know. Last time it broke and then I fixed it live. Ah! Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Okay, hold on a minute. Is that the side that I'm on now? Oh, I think it is. No, because that was made with the black couch. Yeah. Oh, wow. This is messing with my whole world right now. I'm actually not even sure. So I'm on the right side in there. Yeah. Oh, that's pretty weird. That's pretty weird. We forgot. Despite it being shown to us twice every week. That's a hundred times a year. But for three years. Geez. Oh, wow. So you've had a pretty rough week. Yeah. I've had a pretty rough week. And for some different reasons and some of the same reasons. So I'm going to go first. I'm leaving for Computex. I can't give you that mic pack because I have to shoot one more video after this. He's changing the mic. Oh, well then I can give you this mic pack. So I am flying out for Computex very, very shortly. And I will be gone for like 10 days. Yeah, I'm gone for a while. I'm going to Taiwan and then China. Which is of course the same thing, right Dennis? What? I didn't say yes or no. You said hmmm. Are you making that sound because you have like a gag order? So I'm going to Taiwan then China. We're going there. I'm not going to say anything. Oh, is he going with you? Yeah, yeah, he's going with me. Is it going to be a problem going to China with a Taiwanese who lives in Canada and works in Canada? He didn't sticker over his passport so I think he's probably still okay. Did you hear about all that? No. There was a thing going around where I don't know if you could get them from the government or if people were making them themselves, but it was like semi endorsed from the government at first and then it wasn't later on. But there was stickers that got rid of the Republic of China thing or whatever it's called. Okay, like on your Taiwanese passport? Yeah. So when I traveled with that to China, we're like super denied entry. Wow. But he has not done this. Well, that's interesting, isn't it? Please let him in China. Yeah, that would be good. So I'm going to Taiwan then China. So I'm going to be gone for 10 days, but you're going to notice something really weird while I'm gone. There's going to be an LTT video every day. Yeah. So that's been this week and last week and actually the one before. And also we shot another season of Tech Showdown. I was going to mess with them. I was going to say Tech Showdown. Because then they'd be like, oh, no, no one loves Tech Showdown. And you know what? I guess that's okay. Yeah, that's probably because frankly, I don't really love it either. Yeah, it had potential. It did. It had potential. I liked the first episodes more. It's like the sixth child. You know, there was so much potential, but you just didn't really put the work into it. And it came out half baked. And so, yes, new season of Scrapyard Wars. I apologize for all of the six childs out there. And guys, the shtick this time is pretty insane. It's actually insane. So it's just a classic Linus versus Luke, which I don't think we've done since season two with the water cooling challenge. Has it been that long? Yeah, because after that, it was the three way with Austin. And then there was BS Mods. And then there was 2v2 down in LA. And that's all six seasons. And then 2v2 up here. Yeah. Wow. That's right. With Jay's two cents. That's it. Interesting. So it's a classic Linus versus Luke. But the challenge is... Okay. So this is a multi-parter in terms of the challenge. And it just keeps getting worse. First of all, we can't use the Internet. That's enough right there. Which it didn't even occur to me means no email. And no Google Maps. Both of those things didn't initially click for me. That was a pretty big deal. I treat email like long text messages. Like I don't think of them as anything other than straight utility. Like just part of my life. I think of Google Maps like GPS. Yes. I don't really think about... Obviously it has traffic data and stuff included in it. But I never think like, I am going to use the Internet to find my way to this thing. Exactly. And to be clear, we're not stupid. We understand that these services function over the Internet. But it's just not something you think about. Yeah. Because it's become so routine. Anyways, so yeah. No use of the Internet. No use of Google Maps. Also, no use of GPS. So if your car had a built-in GPS, you can't do that because that would have been unfair. Because both cars didn't. And not everybody has GPS in their car. And it somewhat defeats the purpose anyways of not being able to use the Internet. So then there was... The next real challenge there was like there's enough obscurity. There's enough difficulty already. And then Colton, on the day of, I didn't know this was coming, was like, by the way, it's a best bang for your buck competition. There's no fixed price. I didn't know that either. Yeah. So I knew that the challenge was going to be no Internet. It hadn't really occurred to me what exactly that meant. When I heard that, I was like, oh, yeah, OK, so I can't Craigslist and I can't find people online. Yes. I didn't think about the email part. I didn't think about the Maps part. Yeah. When we were standing there and I was thinking like, how am I going to do this? I immediately thought of those things. And best bang for the buck challenges are in a lot of ways much more difficult. Oh, yeah. Than having a fixed budget and trying to build the best machine for that budget. Because all of a sudden, any strategy from $50 all the way up to $5,000 has the potential, depending on the workload, to be the best bang for the buck. Yeah. Like you could show up with literally an old tower from 2012 that you found in a back alley for $0. And if it gets one FPS in the game, you have an infinity score. You're guaranteed to win. You win. Yeah. So like the best bang for your buck challenge is enough in itself. That was season three. Yeah. That was the competition in season three. Then there's the no internet. Then there's the no GPS. It was intense. So we've got people. Joey Pomeroy asks, when does this all air? That is a tremendous question. So we've said we're going to do this before, but this time our sponsor is being super cool about it. And dbrand has basically said, yeah, we understand you guys want to do it up right. And so what we're going to do is we are going to pre-edit the entire thing so that we can get all the pacing right. And then we've said this. I know. We've said this multiple times. But this time we're and you know what, every time we've gotten closer. Yes. Yeah. Like last time we storyboarded the whole thing and edited at least more than one and then I think the editing on season four was the best. I still maintain that. I don't know what happened that year. So yeah. So we are going to have the whole thing pre-edited so we can make sure the pacing of the season is right. And it actually should be a little bit easier to get the pacing right because one of the biggest criticisms that I have as a viewer of Scrapyard Wars is that the first episode is always just us typing on Craigslist and just talking like mumbo jumbo model numbers. Number model, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Combine this with that price, whatever. Yeah. Whereas when you don't have the Internet, you basically have to go. We both immediately started driving. Yeah. We spent like a couple minutes. I sat with my head on my desk for a while. Yeah. And I stood around for a sec and then was like, OK, yeah, I'm going to go here. But like there was no Googling, obviously, or Craigslisting or whatever else. So I don't want to spoil anything for you, but you guys need to watch this season. And I will I will tell you one thing that I did. I made a sign to go in the back window of my car with my phone number on it. Your actual phone number? That basically said, want to buy gaming computer. Did anyone call? SMS this number. No. OK, so an idea I had that I didn't do. So it's not even a spoiler, I guess, was setting up one of those signs and like sitting at a bus loop. I didn't do it. I mean, how did this is the stuff we came down to? OK, how was hard? How did people find each other before the internet? I don't even know. OK, well, I thought about this. But but you wouldn't do it anymore. But classifieds and stuff, right? I guess. Where would you find a newspaper that's that's and like no one's going to do that anymore. What kind of what kind of like a technology savvy person would post something in a newspaper? Exactly. Yeah, there's really no point. But like I think that's what they would have done. Oh, man. Back in the day. Yeah. So anyway, it's going to be great. Swap meets. I think. Yeah. But who runs a swap meet from Tuesday? No, I'm saying like I thought of these things. Yeah. Yeah. I even thought of like what if there's like a LAN party or something and I could just go and like buy a ticket and ask people if they want to sell me their computer like at a LAN. I got an offer to borrow one like I could rent a computer from someone. Which technically like isn't against the rules. That violates the spirit of the competition. Exactly. Which is why I didn't do it. But like the guy was like, yeah, you could like rent my computer and like rent it for like a week and then just bring it back. I was like, there's technically no rule against that. But like not OK. One, he knew me. So it wouldn't have been fair either way. So that it was it was pre-X-Nade. But like while I was standing there, I was thinking like if he didn't like maybe I could ask people I don't know. Probably no one would do it. I would never even know that you rented it. If you were just like, I got this for 10 bucks. I'd have to be mad. But like you'd watch the episode and figure it out. Yeah, I think I'd take back your trophy. Yeah, I think I think I would take back your trophy if you won like that. That's not cool. Yeah, because I have been known to take back a trophy. You know, if I feel like how skeptical would you be? I feel like you would have been digging and figured it out on the spot. You know, I probably would have believed you. Like you you've been you've been honest with me over the years. No, OK. But like a full it's probably has LEDs in it. Like it probably has a window. If I'm renting a gaming tower from someone. OK. Right. Yeah. No. Like I doubt you would. I would ask prying questions. I'd be like, yes. Who did you get it from? Did they know you? Where did you get it? Can I buy one of these now? If I go there, can I get one? How many can we buy and flip and make exactly exactly? So, oh, I think people are really confused. So I said, if you won with that strategy, I would take the trophy. Yeah. All right. Because if you we went to computer for ten dollars, you're probably going to win. That was like the we would never spoil scrap yard wars. You guys know scrap yard wars is like it's like sacred around here. It is. You do not talk about scrap yard wars outside of the company to ensure even a lot of people internally. Yeah. Don't know who wins until the episodes come out. So all right. Did you want to do some like actual tech news or something? I mean, we might as well. I guess so. I mean, we the people all came all the way here from and, you know, they clearly don't know where to get their tech news because they haven't already watched all of this. Yeah. So this was originally posted by I'm a razor on the forum. And I think it's just I'm razor. Oh, OK. Well, whatever. And the original article is from oops. Properties deactivate activate to was this not tested duplicate. Maybe not. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Hold on. New idea. New idea. Is that even the right one? Uh, uh, uh, hey, oh, oh, yeah. Block them notifications. All right. So, um, Intel launches Optane dims. So these are sort of DDR4 sticks, except they're only DDR4 in the sense that they fit in a DDR4 slot. But they are not DDR4 because the actual chips on them are not DRAM. They are not DDR4. Right. Right. That's interesting. So basically, they're announcing the availability, but it's not like you can actually buy one right now. It looks like they will be sampling these. They're sampling them now and they will be shipping them for revenue later this year, but only to select customers. And then broad availability is planned for some time in 2019. So in a nutshell, or actually, let's go through some more specs first. So they'll be using Optane DC, sorry, they'll be branded as Optane DC persistent memory. So that's data center, not direct current. And this is this is in contrast with Optane DC SSDs. So those would be like PCI Express or NVMe or whatever else. Just regular SSDs and they are not to be confused with the consumer oriented Optane memory caching SSDs. That was such a terrible name for that product. Like they should have just called it like the Optane accelerator or something. Yes. Optane memory. You literally you on the spot. You just made a far better name for it. And do you know what the stupidest part of that is? When I was at their launch event, when they were launching Optane memory, they briefed us on this. They knew this was coming. They knew actual Optane on a damn four servers was coming. And they still called the little m.2 thing that accelerates your hard drive. Optane memory. Unbelievable. Intel. I love you guys dearly. But holy crap. You can probably contact one of the business guys about having us help you with your naming schemes. Yeah. A new business. We'd actually be really good at that. For Linus Media Group. You know how many people have asked me when we're going to do the next ASUS ROG rig reboot. Do you know where that name came from? I know this story, but I'm going to pretend that I don't because it will work better if you're telling me for the first time. So no. Wow. You just completely ruined everything for me right now. I'm so interested. Where did ROG rig reboot come from? Okay. So they originally, when we were pitching this, they sent us... What were the names that they pitched us? Because it was really our bad. We were supposed to get back to them. Like over a span of weeks. They were. Because they pitched us a name and we thought it was like really bad and or generic. That's a great picture. Yeah. Twitch chat should probably see that picture. Okay. So just, I have a really weird relationship with my ASUS rep. I'm just going to see if there's... Don't show your screen right now though. Is there anything? There is right there. Right there. Okay. Is it off now? Okay. I got it. Yeah. Anything in here? No, that should all be fine. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I can show my screen now. Okay. So this is an email that he sent to me. We're kind of rethinking the whole program at the moment. So this was when we weren't sure if we were going to be working together on it. Socks with sandals do not create the branding image that we are after here. The whole neo chic glam Southern surfer rockabilly theme is great. But come on, even the socks are white. And so this is a tweet that we had sent out around that time. That is me in case you guys are wondering. So if you're feeling a little, you know, a little aroused, it's totally fine. Hot and heavy. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, so they pitched us this idea. I fully understand. We were super busy and had no time to think about it. So Colton walked into my office. He's like, look, I'm not leaving your office until you give me a name to give them, because that's the last thing holding up moving forward with this project. And so I'm like, I don't know, maybe like ROG rig reboot. And then if they hate that, like, come back to me. Literally on the spot, we should offer us naming things as a consulting fee based, like service to companies because they're so bad at it. Like, did you know that Seagate's rebranding for their drives, you know, Iron Wolf and they still have Barracuda, Skyhawk, Iron Wolf, Iron Wolf Pro. OK, I like it too. I think they did a good job. But get this, to come up with that scheme, they hired the person who did the color based branding over at WD. Yeah. They couldn't just copy it. It's not like there was a it's not like there was any kind of, you know, secret like. They already had Barracuda. I know. Like, just keep going. Barracuda was cool. Swordfish. Swordfish drive. Shark. I don't know. And like the like Barracuda has like two kind of steps through it. So Iron Wolf makes sense. Why did you have to hire someone to come up with that? Like, I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything. Again, Seagate, my friends, everyone I've ever met from Seagate, love you dearly. But holy crap. What were we even talking about? I don't even know. All right. Optane memory. Oh, right, right, right. OK, OK. You never actually got you said Colton came into your office. Right. I just mean I came up with it on the spot because I had no time to think about it. Like within a minute or two. It's not like Colton stayed there for a few hours. And now I get people like messaging me or like walking up to me at conventions being like, I loved ROG Rig Reboot. When are you going to do that again? Like, like it's a thing now. So, yeah, Intel hit us up. All right. So Optane DC persistent memory. Initially available in 128 gigs. You know, I like how searchable that name is. 256 and up to 512 gigs on a single module. Yo, dude, you got that ODCPM in your computer. Yeah, dog. So the modules are pin compatible with standard DDR4 DIMMs and will be supported by Intel's next generation Xeon server platforms. So whoever they are currently sampling these things to apparently also have Intel's next gen server stuff. So that gives us some hints as to soon. That gives us some hints as to when we might see those rolling out. And broad availability is planned for 2019. They're not officially disclosing whether it will be possible to mix and match DRAM and Optane persistent memory on the same memory controller channel. And the 192 gigs of RAM for the development preview systems indicate that they are equipped with a 16 gig DRAM DIMM on every memory channel. So maybe also not disclosed. Power consumption, clock speeds, specific endurance ratings, other than them saying that they should last for a similar lifetime to the server with their regular memory that's in it. So I actually have to tag out with James. Which is going to be probably a double swap. I actually, sorry, yes. But first I would really like to tell you guys about Savage Jerky so that I can eat the jerky. Is that OK? Can I do at least the Savage Jerky spot? Yeah, that's fine. Oh, I don't have my notes because normally I load them up on their notes. You don't know the Savage Jerky notes? Well, basically a high quality snack that's made with fresh ingredients without nitrates or preservatives. That's not bad for you. They've got 13 different flavors of jerky. Tastes good. You guys want some jerky? I'm down. Alright, 13 different flavors including my favorite, the maple buffalo bacon. Mmm. They also make barbecue sauce, hot sauce, and a spice rub. Their Carolina Reaper hot sauce uses one of the hottest peppers in the world, the Carolina Reaper. And I gotta say, you can use offer code LTT to save 10% at savagejerky.com. But you probably shouldn't because the more of it you eat, the more you need to keep ordering it. I think I have a problem. What? Okay, I'm gonna let you do honey and I'm gonna go do one more video about something super cool. Yes, you may have some, Alex. You see what happens when that is two pieces. They're stuck together. Wow. Wow. There's a lot of guys here right now. There is. See, this is really interesting because we're gonna be able to open up the YouTube analytics and see the drop off. We'll be able to quantify just like how much people hate James as a co-host. No. No. Slash love Linus. Or just gotta get that laser James in their diet. There's an uptick. Word spreads. He's on. Oh my God. Honey is a free browse. Do I have a thing for this? There we go. Honey is a free browser extension that automatically finds the best coupons on the web. So you always get the best prices on everything you buy online. You know, there's like old coupon websites where you like Google, is there a coupon for this website? And you find a whole bunch on the list and most of them don't work and they're all really annoying and blah, blah, blah. It does it all for you. Instead of having all that annoying stuff, it works. You don't get it. I don't have to mess with any weird websites. It's all good. While you shop, honey will instantly find every working coupon it can and will automatically apply the best discount to your cart at checkout. It's freaking awesome. So it already figures out which is the best coupon code anyways. So you don't also have to do that juggle, which is nice. There's like there's no reason not to use it. It's pretty great. That's yeah. Yeah. They've partnered with lots of online retailers like eBay and New Egg to find you the best deals. They don't sell your personal information. In some cases, when you use a coupon with honey, they earn a small commission from the merchant because they like they partner up with different people. They do not sell your data or give your information to third parties either, which is cool. There is there's a statement in here that says there's no reason to add honey. There is no reason to not add honey to your browser today. It's free. Just takes two clicks to install and will save you money. Go join honey at honey dot com slash Linus or click the link below if you're on YouTube to add honey to your browser today. Honey sweet. Let me have spectrum. Do you have yours here? Oh, I had them sitting here for weeks. Is this them? Yes. Those are the only way. But I like this orange box. Oh, let me try it done. I know where these ones. Oh, yeah. These aren't going to be for me. These are kind of those are a little bit. They're feminine. Yes. Wow. There we go. Spectrum staring at your monitor all day can be hard on your eyes and also make it tougher to fall asleep. That's the the latter note on that is my least favorite part. Spectrum is an affordable long term solution to staring at your computer screen or phone actually as well. Using a software solution like F dot lux and twilight will not give you the same type of filtering that these glasses do. Features include that they're stylish. You might not like these on me because I'm a very weird fit for glasses. But I think James looks better in those ones. And if I had different ones, they might look better. Or you do like these on me. Who knows? They're also nice quality and have a one year warranty, which is which is good. We've had these for over a year now, I think. Oh, yeah. And they look brand new. So yeah, I like how flexible and like these puppies are. Boom. They have low color distortion. They block high energy blue light while keeping colors as similar as possible. So yeah, that is a thing. Any of these glasses will have a very minor amount of color change. And it is pretty minor, a little bit noticeable, but it is very minor. I've had other ones that are a lot worse. So we'll tell you that much. They're primarily focused around Canadian US markets, but they are working on expanding into Europe and they do offer shipping internationally. They also now sell at Memory Express for Canadians. That's interesting. I didn't even know that. Yeah, I had no idea. Good for them. And for the month of June, they'll be offering 20 percent off Spectrum Glasses. Check them out at SpectrumGlasses.com slash collections slash pro spec or prospect. I think it's prospect or on Memory Express or through the link below. If you're on YouTube today, I didn't have the right banner up. I noticed you say coupon coupon. I say I'm a coup person coupon coupon. I'm not saying you're wrong. It is a you and not a double. Oh, so coupon coupon. I don't know. I like that. OK, I'm going to leave this banner up for a little bit because I forgot to put it up before then. I have no idea what you guys have spoken about. So topics in a line. Definitely not. What? Definitely not that one. What's that one? OK, there was it's been removed. How long was it up there? OK, let's let's explain. School shooting game on Steam has been removed. Rightfully so, in my opinion. Yeah. Active shooter and wow. Yeah, straight up. An unreleased Steam game in which you play as a school shooter, a SWAT team member trying to neutralize them or a civilian has been removed from the platform. And both the developer and publisher revived games and acid respectively. Responsible for the game have been banned from the platform. The game's trailer depicts a player running down high school halls and through classrooms indiscriminately murdering teachers until a SWAT team shows up. Wow. Who how could you possibly think? Apparently, when they first were making the game, it was you couldn't play as the school shooter. You could only play as the SWAT team person neutralizing them. It was just like a SWAT game with like veiled in in that kind of scenario. And then someone genius was like, you know how we can just you should be able to play on the other side. You can be a terrorist and counterstrike. You got to be a psychopath. Like there's no amount of slimy. There's no amount of slimy, greasy marketing like, well, we'll get a lot of attention or we'll make money. There's no amount of that that can motivate you to be bad and sense. What does Chad think? What do you think, Chad? Oh, everyone can see. Sorry. Whoa. Intro? No, it was scrolled. I can click on main sociopath. How is this worse than GTA? Very worse. I would say it's very worse. Very much worse due because in my opinion, in this one, you are set up specifically to do that in GTA. It's it's a choice. Yeah. I mean, you do have to rip people out of their cars, at least you don't have to punch survival sex workers or randomly shoot people walking on the street. You have a choice. And I guess arguably in this game, you don't have to play as a shooter. You could only neutralize them, I suppose. The other thing is this is just so much more topical. In GTA, you can't shoot up schools. I think in the in fairness, in this game, you cannot shoot children. I don't even know if there's children present. It might only be teachers. But still, this is so much more topical. In GTA, it's open world and like anything can happen. It's supposed to just simulate the amount of variables that exist in the real world. Whereas this is just specifically like, hey, this tragedy that affects now hundreds of families in the U.S. like every week, and it's like the greatest tragedy that could happen, really. Let's just do that. Now, the other argument here is that is censorship. Some people think Steam should be completely open for whatever. Some people think this takes too far. I mean, it's a platform that they own. This isn't a government system. So they can kind of do whatever they want. Sure, they can. But what should their responsibility? Yeah, I mean, that's up to them. Like at the end of the day, they're a business. If you don't like that, they're removing this go somewhere else. Well, I think they removed it in response to Outcry because this is I read about this topic was posted last year. I believe on the forum originally. And then it's been updated that they did respond. I mean, the graphics are terrible. Was this even on their radar? It would have been one of those brutal like no one knows about a game. That's what I'm talking about. Maybe that's why they probably had no clue. It looks it looks like junk. I don't know personally, but it looks like junk. Some of the people, most of the people on the game, the forums associated with the outrage marketing by making a game with stolen assets as a cheap cash grab. Maker is banned because their record of making stolen asset games. Yeah, so it was just some like junk game thrown together in no time. It probably wasn't on Steam. And the dude, the publisher developer dude has a history of customer abuse and publishing copyrighted material. So and user review manipulation. So he's just like so bad. But in the forums related to the game, some people, most of the people were saying, get this game off of here off the platform. But some people were saying that they criticize about for the fact that it gives the boot to many games contain containing nudity while letting the likes of active shooter state. This is part of the ban. People were saying that it's kind of like a free the nipple thing. You're on Instagram and there's you can be so scantily cloud and covered in oil and putting your butt against camera, but you can't be like breastfeeding. Yeah, I don't know. It's I maintain to a certain degree that like freedom of speech and whatnot is a government based thing. And it doesn't apply to that platform. If that platform is like, I don't want you shooting teachers in a game. They have full right to take that off their platform. If it becomes discriminatory for some reason, then it's a different issue. But I don't think that's the case. Valve seems to have known who this person was preexisting troll history of manipulation and other things. They probably would have banned it just because he's banned regardless. I'm pretty sure he was already banned and just made a new thing to put this up possible. So like it might not even have to do with the game itself. I just have to do with the fact that they don't want him releasing stuff on the platform. Here's a question for you. You know how ever since the first match school shooting Columbine, people have been blaming video games, notably Grand Theft Auto and music like Maryland Manson music. And most gamers, so many thousands of gamers have been like, look, like games are not the reason that these things are happening. Well, there's been studies that have proved that to. Sure. What about a game like this? Do you think a game like this that's so like it's a simulation of of the event? Do you think that could desensitize a person, make them more likely to carry out such a heinous crime? I think we're getting down a little bit of a weird path here. I don't think playing a video game facilitates doing a crime because I don't think playing Call of Duty inspires anyone to join the army. If that makes sense. I think there are some games that can do things like that. But like there's there's a video that I like that's online that takes like a pro Counter-Strike player and they give him like the gun that he mains with and he shoots one bullet and he's like, I'm done. I didn't enjoy that. I don't want to do it anymore and just leaves. So like it doesn't necessarily inspire that. I think if you are interested in cars and then you can go, are you waiting? OK, all right. You can just there's no other way. So like a way to block the camera. What are you thinking? OK, what do you have to shake, man? If you are already into cars and you start playing like, I don't know, for for the five. Sure. Yeah, it's that will probably just drive that further drive. It'll steer you in that direction. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'll it'll like it's already a passion of yours. So you're doing something within that range and kind of just accelerates it. Yeah, yeah. You're not putting on the brakes. You're trying to immerse yourself more in that. Right. And I don't think like maybe if you're like obsessed with this stuff and you're already watching like every new poorly done news article where they talk about the shooter a lot and they say his name and all this kind of stuff. And you're like really, really into that type of thing. And then you start playing this game like it might be a component. Sure. But it's not going to be like it's not the source. There's I don't think anyone's going to play this and be like, I got to go do it. Like, I don't I don't think that's going to happen. I think you are already since they banned it. Yeah. Yeah. You can't now. Good. Yeah. I think if you're already obsessed with the thing and already immersing yourself in it so much, it might be a component of your insanity. But like it's not. Do you think there's any way that a game like if you're a person like that, that a game like this could offer you release and make you less likely? I have no idea. I am not a psychologist. Probably varies greatly between individuals. Yes. It as a lot of things do because people make arguments like that for prostitution. Like you. Facebook. To remove the trending topics. I love it. Like you. OK. All right. All right. Sorry. Facebook doing something. I don't even want to read that topic. And that's about all there is to it. They're removing the trending topic sections. The side of your news feed. They've got a couple of things there that are trending hashtags. Usually their news articles that are a few days behind Twitter anyway. And for like four years, it's been up there and people have always been questioning how Facebook chooses. Now they're just getting rid of it altogether. And they are working on some other some other types or ways of delivering news to you, including breaking news labels and a section that collects local stories. Do you have an opinion on this thing with Star Citizen and how you can get you can buy this pack of DLC that includes every item in the game. But that pack cost twenty seven thousand dollars. Yeah, no, I think spending twenty seven thousand dollars on a game that doesn't have a like full release date yet and might never fully release is probably a solid investment plan in the post Bitcoin boom. I like it. So here's the thing, because this may be this may be a limited time offer. So you could spend twenty seven grand and then sell those ships on the black market. Wow. And if you call in the next five minutes, you can have a dancing French guy walk in front of your camera. Yeah. Shaking his butt in the screen. Wow. Not one, but two. Wow. This is supposed to be the least used set. Yeah. Well, so here's the thing, though. I once I once ran it. I was in Latvia and I had lunch with this couple from California and they both worked in the mobile gaming space in Silicon Valley in the marketing end of it. And they were telling me they worked for games like Candy Crush. And they said that the biggest percentage of money comes from Wales. It's it's like 99. Yeah. I guess so much of it comes from Wales. There's people who spend over 100 grand a year. The vast majority of your user base in the mobile gaming space doesn't matter at all. So is this a way of taking money from leveraging like the whales? Do you care? Some dude who this twenty seven thousand dollars is equivalent worth to you and me. Like 80 dollars like or less or less like this guy's like a Saudi prince. He's like, oh, I can have all of them like, cool. Boom. Done. The thing is, though, this isn't even they're not even getting like unique items. It's not like you're getting a one of a kind. No one else is getting this ship. Only you have this ship. It's just all this is just get everything. And everything in this case is one hundred and seventeen ships and one hundred and sixty three extras. I'm not familiar with the game. What those extras be weapons, vehicles, skins, different guns, different modifications to the ships, literally a poster in your hanger. It can be a lot of stuff. Lots of stuff. That's cool. That's worth it. Like a little model of one of the ships that goes digitally in your hanger in the game. Like that could be what it is. Yeah. There's there's a lot of little extras. This game's a Kickstarter still. It's not out, right? This seems like a really good way to fundraise from those whales. Get the get it out there for the rest of us. But we were fundraising in like what? Twenty twelve. Like what what year did this start? Can I find the original Star Citizen Kickstarter Kickstarter Star Citizen October 18th of 2012? Holy cow. Yeah, dude. Whoa. This is like Duke Nukem forever status. But they're still selling stuff and they they raised over two million dollars originally. Make the game. They burn through it, dude. It's over. We need a delivery November. Oh, no. Hold on. Let's see. One more little detail here is that you don't even have access to buying this twenty seven thousand dollar pack of goodies unless you've already spent a thousand bucks, which is so sweet. You can't even view the page. That's awesome. It adds this exclusivity layer, which I would imagine is also tantalizing to the to the whales who can afford this. How much of stars isn't raised in 2018? We're Googling here. Stars isn't raised more money than every other video game on Kickstarter combined. Holy cow. Twenty seventeen. I think this DLC pack has got to be the most expensive game related content ever. Chris Roberts collection of spacefaring games raised thirty four point nine one million in 2017. Like, my God. It's so crazy. Stretch goals. OK, does it show their total on here? Funding stats. All right. Look at that. Eight. Whoa. One hundred and eighty seven million. Dallara. Whoa. What is that other statistic? It's a star citizens. How many people is probably all time? Probably doesn't include Chern. It's not current. Yeah. So what? There's two million people playing. No, there's too many people that like have accounts. I think it's too many people that have paid some amount of money. Oh, wow. That's my assumption. So let me just want to make sure they're not like procedurally generated citizens or something. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. One hundred and eighty seven. That is so much money. How much? OK, here. Hold on. Like, like the lottery is 30 million usually. Well, some are that big. What are you trying to find out? How much money would it take to? So GTA five costs two hundred sixty five million dollars. So GTA five still cost a bunch more, but that's how much they've crowdfunded. That's insane. I wonder if we could crowdfund a Falcon nine rocket to like just like guys. You're all get. Oh, my God. OK. Cards Against Humanity. You know how they dug the hole? No, you didn't hear about that. No. Uh, I know they mailed people poop and stuff. Cards Against Humanity hole. Cards Against Humanity raises one hundred thousand dollars to dig tremendous hole. Were they were they allowed heavy equipment? I see some heavy equipment in the picture. It'd be better if it was just shovels. Just a bunch of people with shovels. I heard of some dudes who went to a party. I don't know if it's a grad party or what, but they just decided to dig. And they just spent the whole party digging. And in the morning, whoever the host is just has a giant hole in their backyard and has to like show their parents. Oh, my God. Yeah, they weren't invited. That's horrible. What? OK. So, yeah. So Hole Got Dug is apparently our holiday hole. Sorry. Holiday Hole Dotcom was a website dedicated to the hole set up by Cards Against Humanity. And as long as money kept coming in, they would keep digging. So people had to live donate money and they would keep digging. Well, it got more expensive over time or something. Well, like they could pre-purchase time and it got more expensive over time. And apparently they got one hundred thousand dollars. So if we could get enough money for Falcon 9 to just send like something stupid like this, this is what they should do next. Like a car with a dummy in it or something. You know? Yeah. You know what I mean? Like Cards Against Humanity should send like in a whole Falcon 9 rocket, like just Cards Against Humanity cards into space. Wow. That should be their next holiday hole. A stack of them shaped like a tree. Like it looks like a tree. It's made of tree parts. Holiday Rocket. There you go. Cards Against Humanity. There it is. That's what you should do. Well, that'd be great. Is that it? I think we should do one more. OK. All right. I'll allow it. Asus Mining Motherboard. This thing is actually pretty nuts. We might as well talk about that. Our source is FieldGenEG. EJ. Wow. That was a. All right. It's very clearly a capital J. I think I would have said the same thing, though. It's kind of like a. EG just kind of goes. Happens. Yeah. Evil genius. I mean, oh, dang. Right. I'm going to show you guys this. It looks insane. So I actually didn't know. So, OK, the first thing I looked for as well, were you going to put all the 20 GPUs that it supports? There's obviously not slots for it, but there's a bunch of USB slots. I didn't know that you could still have that going over PCI like that. Yeah. That's cool. So the mining stuff has a little a little tiny, little tiny card that you plug in that converts to USB normally. So they're just skipping that step so you don't have to have the whole lane blocked out. You just have all these USB plugs. You don't have to worry about that step. You still run a USB cable. Then that terminates back into another thing. And you're good to go. That's pretty cool. It's a sweet looking board. Pretty nuts. Crazy. When's it come out? Mining master. I don't know. It says in the notes. I just don't. I'm lost here. Let me scroll down. I think I put it on the bottom because I thought it was boring. It's just it's just interesting. It's one of the most interesting looking boards I've ever seen. That's why I wanted to talk. Available in North America starting in Q3. Like even look at the power, dude. 24 pin, 24 pin, 24 pin, 8 pin. Wow. But does it have on board Wi-Fi? I don't know. Get out of here. I did notice that they still had their can you guys see my mouse? Oh, this one. They still have the like sound divider just in case you want to listen to some jam. Hell of a sound card on this thing. It's all the utmost. Oh, man. On your 20 GPU mining rig, you just got to rock some ACDC. You're just listening to white noise. Heck yeah. OK, are we good? Is that does that conclude the WAN show? Oh my God. It feels weird because I feel like I had two WAN shows. Hmm. Like it feels like this WAN show is really short. So I'm like, no, I'm not done yet. Oh, I see what you mean. But like I think it actually. Yeah, I think we're I think we're about good. Thank you for coming to the WAN show. The the multi part series. Linus is screwed up his dbrand on this laptop. But anyways, this is your phone. That is my phone. Is that a crack on the screen? It is. Well, see ya. I intro I forgot that last time. There we go. I was into the intro. Well, it's the intro and the outro. Well, bad timing. Do you fart? No. What's this chair? No, I wasn't talking with the sound. Oh, that sucks. Savage Jerky. Savage Spectrum. Spectrum. Honey. Honey. Oh, it does kind of smell weird. A prime. I believe it. Jin Yang.
