 And like way better we're gonna have polls live polls that you and me can set up the polls on our own website And then there will be a history of the poll and we can try to pull so I don't want to know the history of any Pool, if someone is watching the live stream, they'll be able to see the poll. You know how we have straw polls So instead if they're watching an archive if they watch the archive on our site, they should be able to see the poll the history of the pool grody all of the history We're live now as if it was never erased or cleaned The whole history of the pool the poll should be cleaned at some point or another We're just discussing an upcoming website feature. Welcome to the WAN show. Thank you guys very much for tuning in my laptop screen just Wow, it just Crapped itself. I wish I was screen sharing with you guys I opened up a Google Doc and like my desktop icons like flashed through it for a second and then gone computers man Computers man. Welcome to the show So let's kick things right off let's let's let's make things easy for ourselves We've got a bunch of great topics for you today. First up is Google cardboard you can use an ordinary cardboard box and a smartphone to To make your own virtual reality headset. Okay, it might not be quite as sophisticated as the Oculus Rift But more that easy or or as easy as what I just did A little bit more complicated than that, but it should make for an easy low-cost way to make that happen Next up we've got Ubisoft just keeps on digging It's almost like this week they were trying to find something popular to say So that we don't like DRM. We're gonna do things. Yeah Which don't include getting rid of DRM What else we got we also have YouTube tip jar so you'll be able to tip up to something talk about that later to YouTube creators while watching their videos and Twitch and YouTube are both can be playing at 60 FPS now Wow Wow 60 FPS to u-type. U-type. I can watch PewDiePie yell with that much more clarity now Tweetube tweetube. Alright intro time We are moving the microphone down That's not that bad I've got it in my ears. All right, we have a few sponsors for you this week Earlier this week. We actually did a sponsored live stream We call these ask the expert and we're gonna talk to you guys about what we discussed with Darren Lynch from Intel as well As give you guys the exclusive link to watch the archived live stream So I hope you enjoy that next up. We've got Squarespace and that's not the one that I meant to do Well back to this and oh now everything is bricked and terrible Okay, Squarespace 10% off with offer code line is also we are going to announce the winner of a free one year Squarespace subscription and Finally, we've got Dollar Shave Club Shave Time Shave Money Join the club visit Dollar Shave Club in order to get high quality bathroom supplies shipped straight to you your door And that is it for my oh, yeah, and it's not very expensive. Hence the dollar I mean, it doesn't cost a dollar Well, it can cost a dollar but it doesn't cost a dollar for like the really good stuff But it's still a lot cheaper than the other thing So I think I've gotten my point across now and yes the intro was playing and the music was broken I actually kind of liked talking over the music. We should have music in the background. So Next week we'll get like a music track. But for this week, can you just kind of beatbox while I do the show? All right. So our first topic this week is going to be the well if I had my topics open I'd be able to do that YouTube now runs at 60 FPS. They actually announced a bunch of the best parties. I'm a horrible beatboxer. I can't do anything I have no abilities whatsoever. But if we actually had an actual beatboxer that could have been maybe cool I don't know. No, probably not I have about the beatboxing skills of like that random six-year-old kid on the playground who thinks he's a plane That's about it. Or that kid that used to run on the track while making motorcycle noises The sophisticated kids put the playing cards in the spoke Yeah, I did that when I was like 12 I think I did as well Yeah, I think I should have been younger than 12 when I was doing that All right. So this was originally posted on the forum by RT YouTube now supports the 60 FPS I actually retweeted this tweet last night because I was pretty stoked on this news, but there you go So what they say is motion intense videos will look even better on YouTube when we launch support for 48 and 60 FPS So bring on the hobbit piracy since that's the only thing that comes to mind No, but seriously though higher frame rates are better for many things I know you guys are probably expecting me to say well now every single video on YouTube should run at 60 FPS But that's not necessarily the case Gameplay will definitely benefit from this Things like running around with a camcorder Probably not so much the main benefit the reason that we shoot all of our channels Super fun stuff for example and 60 FPS is the ability to slow it down To half speed and still play at 30 FPS which to the eye with appropriate motion blur Does still look very fluid the problem with games is that the eye and graphics cards? They will they don't inherently have motion blur. They don't actually Help you put the pieces together of each of these frames the way that something like a film does So 60 FPS exciting one little trick You have to turn it up to 1080p in order to enable 60 FPS Also, if you're in Firefox, you might not be able to see it automatically So if you go download all HTML 5 or some other HTML 5 add-on Which can switch YouTube to HTML 5 by forcing it then you'll be good to go I'm so over Firefox at this point Between it logging me out of the forum all the time and just flat out Not working very well and crashing a lot over the last little while I think we've pretty much broken up. So Firefox is now my tertiary browser Whoa. Yeah Yeah, second at home. I am I'm actually using Chrome IE Oh Firefox why not like offer or something opera doesn't work with anything. It does. No, no, I use I use Okay, Google straight up doesn't support opera and Google doesn't support opera No, they they say blah blah blah blah blah Sometimes when you log into stuff, it'll be like, oh, yeah This feature works on Firefox and Chrome and then half the time it doesn't work on Firefox and the other half of the time It doesn't work on Chrome So I have a feeling within the next few years Google is going to try to basically eradicate everything except for Chrome Because I honestly think a lot of the issues that are coming in Are based around Google just being like nope. Nope. Nope. We're doing all this It seems to be mostly flash related for Firefox for me Yeah, and I mean, it's not like Adobe and Google are in cahoots So I think it's got it. I got to just blame the Mozilla team for that. I Don't know but if the flash thing is your problem just download the HTML5 add-on. You're good to go. Yeah, even then Not everything runs on HTML5 Sometimes flash things exist and then my browser crashes and then I have to go back to the browser crashes and then and this is this is something that I have an issue with with both Firefox and Chrome is it seems like about 30% of the time the restore last browsing session feature just Doesn't work. I have literally never had a problem with that with Firefox. I had it happen last night Last very night last night was my last night. Did you have multiple windows open? Of course I did I always do you know what my computer looks like Because some of because I need to be able to alt tab between certain sets of tabs very quickly So for example, he like he's complaining about his RAM. He has to upgrade his room Do anything other than web browse? Have to upgrade my desktop my brothers thinking like five gigs of room Yeah, I know I'm having troubles defending Firefox lately, I hope they pick it up because I Don't know. I feel a lot more safer on Firefox than I do on Chrome. Yeah Well, there you go. All right, so cat. Oh, this is something really cool That also came out of the VidCon event recently. They are adding caption crowd sourcing So every single video will just say butts butts butts butts butts on the bottom Well, probably the first thing I thought of when I read that was like, okay every single video that's gonna attract like a certain crowd it's just gonna have like But yeah, there's gonna be a lot of potential for this to be griefed. I have to think though that once the initial Sort of spam dies down. It'll probably start it'll probably settle in I think videos like ours will probably do Reasonably well by comparison and the way that I said for this one, which will probably just have butts butts butts on it Yeah, someone will go and hide it Three-quarters of the way through where no one's gonna be looking at the captions. I mean, especially in English It's probably gonna be more a matter of going through and fixing the mistakes the automatic one. Yeah So I mean, I'm sure YouTube will be able to tell Because in much the same way that they can take the audio track and they can caption it I'm sure they can take the captioning and somewhat valid. So figure out if it's like that far off. Yes Okay, that's what I expect to happen. Although this is all just me guessing these features are not Yeah, it makes sense though And if they're not doing that now, they probably should and they'll probably think of that or figure that out at some point in time Maybe pay us 10% I find a lot of the news that just happened in this one segment are all like PewDiePie Because it's YouTube 60 FPS and tips jar So if he's having problem, well, he's he's like seems to be doing okay doing okay But game streamers in general aren't probably gonna make as much money on their ads So tip jars are gonna help game streamers a lot and 60 FPS is gonna help game streamers a lot So I find it actually kind of surprising that both these things are landing when traditionally they didn't really seem to care about games Yeah, it's it's actually kind of refreshing to see YouTube Bend to the will of the community for a change instead of just Marching off in a direction and doing whatever the heck it is that the integration and then Just expecting everyone to sort of fall in line I mean we want you know higher quality content and we want this and we want that it's like guys that's great But people are not watching that they're watching PewDiePie do whatever it is speaking of PewDiePie I actually was this close to retweeting one of his tweets for the first time ever I do follow him on Twitter and I agreed with this so hard and I was just like Google What are you doing? Twitch plays Pokemon is in our chat again. Oh, that's so cool. I saw him in last week, too I was like what the hell? All right, so I'm gonna screen share with you guys for a second here. Check this out So in the old days, I would click on my name and I would go to video manager You can see that that's still working on this page for some reason. It must be a really old one They changed it today. Yeah, there we go. So my name is now gone. This is great I can show the before and after my name is now gone now I get to click on this I get to click on creator studio wait around for that to load it slow-ass And then I get to go way over here and click on video manager in order to manage my videos Which is where I spent 99% of my time when I am logged into my YouTube channel YouTube seems to be trying to pay attention to the needs of creators. They're finally giving us a dedicated YouTube creator app Which will allow us to manage things. That's actually pretty cool. That's pretty cool. Although honestly There's not that much more that I needed to do. They could have just fixed, you know Broken like outright broken stuff. Like here's a couple of examples When you're loading comments, it just stops working after a while and then you can't restore it other than by reloading the page and then Scrolling back to that point again You can't see the most recent comments first and then the other one that was just broken as all heck Is when I would try to reply to a comment, I think it is and then go Back it would reload the comments and I'd have to start over again at the top It's like you wonder why youtubers aren't interacting with their audience as much But you're making it as difficult as possible for us The comment system as a whole is ridiculous I watched the video the other day that was uploaded that day This was like a day or two ago, but for some reason it had the old comment system Yeah, and it was so refreshing I so much better. I would be honest with you. I couldn't tell the difference really. Yeah, I had there was a video recently it was a funk commercial that we did and I was reading through the comments and everyone was freaking out about how it was the old comments and I actually couldn't remember the Difference between them anymore the reply buttons there on everything and honestly it looked cleaner It's mostly mostly there are reply buttons on everything now like people have basically just kind of accepted it You know, I don't know drop trow and I still have a problem. I'll read through the comments and someone old Ask a question directed at me and I try to reply it I'm like this is not possible that still happens to this day my favorite is that well But there are issues with the old comment system that I think people forget in the old comment system Someone could have contact lock on and there would still be a reply button So you'd click reply you'd type up a nice long reply to them You'd click it it would go away and it would tell you this person has contact lock on they did not receive your message I actually never ran into that's a lot worse That's like a hundred times worse At least I don't have to waste my time trying to reply to people who ask me questions that Don't have a reply button on their comments. I can see up front. Haha. I don't have to talk to you because you didn't do the thing Yeah, so at least there's that Alright, I think I ran twitch plays Pokemon off because the chat freaked out Way to go smart guy we had someone cool in our chat for the first time I mean the rest of you are cool, too But like someone like crazy famous on twitch cool when when my brother and I were streaming we had day 9 come in Yeah, yeah, I think myself for my brother I don't know which one was wearing a day 9 shirt and after his stream ended he went to the home page and saw Us home page and he was like what? I came into the chat was like hello. Oh, he's still here still here. Yeah Anyways, all right, so our You know, it's funny cuz my issue on Firefox is that the form keeps signing my me out my issue in Chrome is it keeps signing me back in right side out No, you must have your proper account for this listen to me All right. So this was originally posted by twisted dictator on the forum and this is Ubisoft The original article is from GameSpot. This is Ubisoft coming out and saying Well, DRM can't stop piracy. Actually this article is fantastic. It's full of all the win, okay, so VP of digital publishing from Ubisoft says I don't want us in a position where we're punishing a paying player For what a pirate can get around where you are right now that position that you're like very deeply rooted in you don't want to be there Okay, so Witcher developer CD project read Thinks that DRM is an ineffective way to stop piracy on the PC them I actually believe because they've been reasonably friendly in the past. However, Ubisoft is just like what popular thing Can we say that gamers will like so that they will stop hating us as hard as we deserve to be hated right now and so that oh This thing so what's key for us is making sure we're delivering an experience to paying players. That is quality So the question becomes what do we create as services or as benefits and the quality of the game that will just have people Want to pay for it and I'm just kind of sitting here going blah blah blah So, okay the more services there are yet. No, but the reality it is the more services there are in a game Well pirates don't get that stuff So when it's a good game and there's good services around it you're incentivized to not pirate the game to get the full experience This is all true. It's just that Ubisoft It's not like they actually said well, here's an upcoming game that we're gonna go, you know Steam DRM only or we're gonna go actionable items. Yeah, there's nothing There's not a Microsoft might as well, you know publish an open letter about how they're committed to PC Games for all the emptiness of this statement that has nothing to do with anything I mean, it's not like I agree with the pirates. I mean this is this is this is interesting there was a claim that Bethesda's recently released Wolfenstein the new order was pirated over a hundred thousand times in the first week and Obviously you can't say oh well, then they lost whatever 60 times 100 So what if 60 million six million dollars in revenue whatever that works out to? They lost six million dollars worth of revenue because of pirates. You can't really do the math that way But you can't do that math that way at all We have to agree that it is a problem and I don't agree with the typical You know quite frankly stupid argument that you know Piracy doesn't hurt because it's you know, basically like if they deserved my money You know after I if I played it okay here this guy this guy basically made me pretty mad Russian takeout, okay Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So this guy's like well people buy good or great games The problem is when you have a game with a five-hour single player and lousy multiplayer How do you justify 60 bucks for it piracy helps the individual to test the game? I downloaded 10 to 20 games this year and purchased the three to four that let me play for at least a few weeks And I'm kind of sitting here going well No, because if you want to have the experience you should pay for it If the experience wasn't good enough to have then you don't have to buy it and not every game cost $60 wait like three weeks and it'll probably be 30 transistor like just came out. It's already 25% off on Steam sale Exactly. So if you don't think something is worth the cost and I was happy to be getting 100% then just wait a little while and if you're not willing to wait, well, then I'm sorry I guess you get to pay and you can't just say oh well if something can't be reused a hundred times Then it's not worth buying. I mean by that logic. Do you refuse to buy condoms? Or food It's basically the same thing it seriously is no I know something that isn't reusable over and over again dogs We should ride them food reusable dogs. Oh, that's gross You know my old pony when I was a kid She would basically like if we if we imagine that this is the pony The crap would come out this end. He would turn himself a hundred degrees Yep, you know I don't know it's like especially with how steam works nowadays We were talking about the steam sale last time on the show But how it's just like yeah, all this stuff has pretty much been on sale for these prices already like not a ton of them We're super amazing. That's that's because everything gets discounted. So hard just wait like three days I fear for twitch chat. What you can't reuse condoms Twitch chat twitch chat. I Mean, I guess theoretically you could it's but the effectiveness Well, I mean it already has a pretty scary effectiveness 99% is not that good. That's true. That's still one out of a hundred times The funny thing the funny thing about the 99% effectiveness is that I'm not a hundred percent sure how you calculate that Is it 99% of the time you have sex? You won't cause a pregnancy or is it 99% of the times that you would have caused a pregnancy It doesn't because it's hard to because I mean if it's 99% of the time There won't be a pregnancy. It's not even helping as much as we think because about 60% of the time to 70% of the time The fertility is not an issue anyway, and nothing would have happened so Hmm, that's that is actually kind of interesting either way. It's still scary I feel like we've gotten off topic a little we have a little bit maybe a lot of it Let's talk about Android TV. We already know that We aren't even necessarily done with the previous topic. Oh, okay. What do you have something to say because I can just take a drink Oh, okay. Do you have something to say because I can just take a drink Go for it I found it interesting that the main thing that he was saying was services and benefits They want to add on to games if you've been noticing something They've been doing for a long time now is these these multiplayer aspects that they've been adding to games I don't know how many times you've talked to someone about that super awesome enthralling Assassin's Creed multiplayer that you played with no one because no one really does that Or the awesome strapped on stapled together multiplayer that's in watchdogs I think they need to they're talking about this quality of the game and quality services and benefits But a lot of their quality services and benefits don't really seem thought out It seems like they built the entire game and then we're like, oh, yeah We need these things that pirates don't get so we're gonna make this weird really really bad Ship mini game in Assassin's Creed that this is the only way you can get certain items and then we're gonna put it in your ship and Everyone's gonna hate it. So Cool like I don't make good ones make interesting ways to work with your friends and I know they're working on it like a Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed unity have these Co-op things where someone can enter your game and then help you do like an open-world thing but they can't help you with storyline missions and stuff and then I Don't really that seems weird again. So I don't know maybe work on that a little bit and then people might care But for now, they're probably just gonna pirate your game I won't but they probably will and I think it's funny that they brought they're bringing all this to light right now Yeah, I know right because that everyone's going. Oh, yeah, I can just pirate all your stuff Did you see how many comments there were about that? They're like, oh, yeah, I was waiting for watchdogs and then now I'm just gonna pirate it. It's like wow Why did you wow? Not good timing. I wonder if piracy rates would go down If they just stopped talking it just shut up There's an interesting they need to shut up put their heads down and work on stuff and make really good releases for Assassin's Creed and Far Cry. What's the upcoming Assassin's Creed unity unity? Yeah, okay French Revolution sure That could be good. It could who knows Hopefully they don't make the PC version look exactly the same as the console version Oh, there was other there's another Ubisoft thing They were saying, you know why it's challenging to have the PC version come out at the same time as the console version and something Blah blah blah is your higher ups in your company make them look the same. Yeah Anyway, here we go Android TV so it looks like Google Google I oh they actually had a bunch of stuff They were talking about they showed off the upcoming Android L whatever it's gonna be licorice lollipop ludicrous Keeping with our rap theme I hope a sues wants to do laptop integrations again with the new one. No ends with JK And I will just never stop all the terrible jokes no, I don't want to talk about that Anyway, um, it weighs a lot JK. It's light. So they showed off a bunch of really cool stuff. They showed off some really pointless stuff They're moving to a more circular sort of design language now, which to me is kind of like oh, that's great I'll put that on my circular phone That I don't have I guess If they want Android phones to stop looking like iPhones so all these lawsuits can just go away Like discuss things. Yeah This is this is the Samsung Galaxy Milky Way It's like this shape With like a sphere it looked like a curved screen that curved screen sphere in the middle Yeah, and that comes out the back, you know that the LG like, you know orb flex Doubles as a discuss throw it to your friend And the built-in accelerometer speakers the built-in accelerometer will tell you how fast And when and when your friend doesn't catch it it'll say oh Well, it falls and you'll be able to hear it because it has a speaker the size of the entire back Yeah, all these smart features Samsung sure no wrong. The speaker should not be the size of the back I've been working on my LG G3 review as well as my surface 3 Pro review and They both have Rear mounted speakers, which is still wrong in this day and age. What if it's a discus thing? It's still wrong Still wrong and I still hate it. So you want like a bezel around the front of the disc for a circular speaker there? Yeah bezel desk Now with 30% more bezel New improved Not this again Coming soon Android TV now with 30% more TV Honestly though that might be applicable this whole Android TV thing I'm kind of sitting here going like how many times are you guys gonna relaunch the same thing? It's like we really really really want Android to run on your TV The old you know little USB sticks or HDMI sticks. Those aren't good enough anymore Chromecast isn't good enough anymore it's standalone boxes like the Pivos player or that a Seuss thing, what was it called? Something box. I don't know. I didn't care then all these all these Google operating system things No, we're doing much better now. We're just doing regular Android this time, but with a different skin over tall So it's XBMC but like Android or something and there's a world of content and games There's actually not too much detail about it right now, but you can get Batman Begins Man of Steel the Lego movie and the Hobbit Desolation of smog if you wanted to watch one good movie and One really good movie and two slightly less than good movies Oscar nominated There's gonna be so much infighting on what movies you're talking about. They're adding voice control Which I guess is interesting if you didn't already have a Chromecast and an Android phone and this functionality Seems like it could have just as easily happened that way the one place where I see this really being valuable is in terms of more power hungry types of applications So Nvidia actually on their own blog is talking about this as well. They are saying they want the K1 So that's their upcoming chip. Of course they do they want the K1 to be the first Validated chip for Android TV Which could be interesting because we'd be looking at both a powerful local gaming experience as well as a streaming experience with you know Netflix and all that other stuff and Having the ability to stream from the cloud or view things and playback things and game locally It seems like I guess it'll be somewhat valuable. I just I Don't see it as that different from so many other things that are out there I mean you look at something like Uya. I Mean is this really different from Uya with a skin on it? Is it is it skins a lot though skins user experience? What do you complain about a lot with phones? Yes. Okay, the skin is important. I'm just saying did we need a dedicated I Like my Chromecast. I see no real reason to change from my Chromecast Right. Well Chromecast latency isn't anything special. So there's that if you know, but then you might be big screen No, you aren't But this is Nvidia we're talking about so if we could see integration with their game stream technology like cool the way I'd like to see in video. Oh right But what you don't have a way to do right now is get a low latency HDMI connection from your shield to TV So if that could be integrated you can have a wireless controller or you could use your shield as a wireless controller like the way I see Nvidia going with this to make it really successful is Have there be an experience just for having an Nvidia chip in the device So they enable game stream as long as there's an Nvidia chip in your device Then if you have a shield then you enable Second screen type things like what Nintendo is trying to do with Wii U Yeah, or with the ability to use your shield as a controller and then switch screens when you run away Just like Nintendo's trying to do with the Wii U But hopefully better than the Wii U like a lot of the stuff they do with the Wii U is pretty stupid Mario Kart 8 has sold 2 million copies Which is on freaking real not to mention how many Wii U's they're selling now I think they're on track to sell more than PS4 and Xbox one I if that's still trending that was trending like that before we left for Highlander So I'm not entirely sure anymore freaking badass But what I do have to say about Mario Kart 8 and the Wii U is that the second screen is not very useful Yeah, you can make it a mini-map, but then like it's in your hands It's in your hands Anyone who looks away from the screen for more than a split second in Mario Kart is like red shelled up the ass so Like no, I don't know But then I don't mind that controller for it either because if you try to use the motion controls for it It's a lot better than a Wiimote way better than a Wiimote Yeah, and then it you can just not use the most controls, then it's a really good controller for it anyway So I get it yeah the second screen doesn't work for that game But I don't think they need the second screen to be amazing for every single game. Yeah, that's true So there's a couple more things for Android TV It's so blah blah blah clean interface allows multiplayer gaming with people on Android tablets When was the last time you played a multiplayer game over Android? This is one of the really big problems with Android gaming is they're like here's a new platform that you can take these games Which are not made for this platform and play them on and it's like No, I Don't want to do that. Yeah, I mean no one wants to do that It's the same issue that PC gamers have nobody makes good co-op games for Android It's like what like what and yeah, okay. Okay twitch chat. You're gonna have like four examples. I don't care It's not really my point. My point is that it's not a focus Android games are focused on this experience PC PC gaming co-op is starting to come back a little bit not enough not enough not enough I'll tell you what when Microsoft releases Releases that halo package for the PC and it includes halo one campaign co-op. Oh god, then a You won't see me on Wanshow because I'll be too busy playing halo campaign co-op Yeah, and B I will believe that something's changed my dad and I went through and beat that campaign on every possible difficulty Not because we couldn't beat it on legendary yet Just because we were bored like I think we literally I think we beat on legendary and then like went back and beat on the Other ones cuz remember you get the different shields at the bottom of the level slider So we got all of them because we were just like this is cool Because why not and it was a really good game to co-op the last minute. Oh, whatever. Everyone's like trying trying Trying yeah, it's like one game smartass We both love it and we have a video and we finished it and I played it with my wife and that was great And she was like, oh that was fun. We haven't played games together in a long time and I was like, yeah, that was fun That was great. Um, and she was like, yeah, what other games can we play? I'm like none Portal 2 for like the not as good as the single-player co-op that it has Actually, the only game that we found to to play together recently is this one It's actually a fantastic game and everyone should play it It's it's free for the basic version and if it ever manages to launch then I'd love to show it to you guys But in the meantime, do you want to bring up the chat said Android TV equals every smart TV ever Except probably a lot better a lot better smart TVs are dumb and they're just terrible suck Just made of so much terrible and oh man, that's another thing that's been driving me crazy about how to address it with the with the LG G3 so the G3 has one of the most terrifying end-user license agreements that I've ever seen and Just with the recent thing that came out about their smart TVs and how if you don't agree to it They just downgrade you to a dumb TV. It made me really uncomfortable to have like five checkboxes To tick off including all this stuff about personal information sharing just to use my phone This is why people more than one person asked me on Twitter if I would recommend getting a G3 because of how much I like The G2 this is before I even saw the G3 so it wasn't really fair But either way I said no because of the TV thing It's your phone There's gonna be way more personal stuff on your phone than your TV and they're being really ultra creepy about it Yeah, so I don't know man Not a big fan fan Unfortunately, this game isn't launching. It's called it's called pocket tanks and it's badass So you can get they actually have either hot seat multiplayer or you can actually do land multiplayer cool so my wife and I'll sit in bed with our laptops and like Fire little rockets at each other with our tanks and stuff She's pretty good at it. She's like in tanks. She's been kicking my ass lately Is it like old school tanks but like new and improved? It's not that new we've been playing it since we met Oh, we met nine years ago. So, okay. There you go. Not new Okay, I'm old and the things I do are old Along the lines of Android TV, this is interesting razors throwing Thanks for that my awesome beatboxing That wasn't beatboxing even isn't just like making noises. No Making noises is just making noises. I saw a beatboxing guy who was like doing other stuff. Oh Form of vocal percussion percussion. Yeah That's not percussion. I'm sorry Yeah, I guess you're closer but I still don't like it Um, well, this is unfortunate. Okay, you might be on screen sharing duty for the rest of the show here Oh, okay. What am I showing? Let's see if the issue is My output or if the issue is whoa. What am I showing capture? You're showing razors gaming micro console featuring Android TV available this fall This was posted originally on the forum by Dietrich W and it looks like that screen sharing is not working Anyway, I'm afraid like I just I fear for what might happen if I try to if I try to properly Screen share with you guys cuz what I'm gonna have to do is I'm gonna have to refresh my capture card Which will about nine times out of ten? Blue screen the computer this is not working. So I'm gonna find another way to share with you guys. Here we go We'll just do it this way This is suit. No. No, I did it didn't work. I tried it already. That's it. It's all good. Try it. Try it now. Sure. Okay Yeah, that didn't work. Okay. So there we go. Um Moving on I tried The micro console. All right, so this was the original articles on end gadget. I'm just gonna sorry guys I got to do this kind of manually here. It's gonna be kind of go add screen region blip de boop de boop boop and There we go. Hey, that is Beatboxing according to you. All right razors micro console a gaming micro console with Android TV available this fall It should be noted that this is just a rental And this is not the finalized hardware, although they haven't exactly gone out on a limb in terms of showing us something That's difficult to manufacture. It's razors. So it's probably gonna look something like that There's green under glow. It's black and there's a logo at the top Matt black specifically It's not black also the logo is shiny The logo is gloss so I get such a kick out of the box The logo is gloss so I get such a kick out of the out of the press statement The micro console can stream movies music and other apps for large screen entertainment with an emphasis on gaming So it's oh Hardcore gaming so it's Google Android TV and it's got an Nvidia chip inside it and And Probably it'll have game stream good job razor So I think we just completely predicted exactly everything about this product I think that's how they're gonna handle the hardcore gaming though, and I'm really excited about that I think it makes as much sense as steam OS Just in home streaming whether it's through valve solution or Nvidia solution is definitely the future in my mind and One thing I'm interested in is how much steam OS might slow down windows piracy? Might Not at all. No, okay. Tell me this Libra office do you still use it? Open office it's the same. Oh actually I do never mind I do use the office and yes I still do use it. Do you use it if you have a choice? Yes, actually All right, but in certain situations I use it on my test bench when viewing test results because it can't there's an option that it can give you a preview Okay, do you use it when you have serious work to do that serious work to do? That's like like, you know what I mean and you're dodging the question Over and over again, I might add No, but we have legit copies of office. That's true. Right? So, okay, but Okay office 365. I'm using office 365 now. Honestly for the price. It's a great value Subscription base. I'm kind of sold on when I was in school and stuff. I just used open office Yeah, but in school you got free copies of office. No, I mean like not not bad school. Oh, okay, right other school. Yeah not like piracy school No, I'm just kidding you threw through his program at school. He was able to get copies of my Because I was in a software development thing. So you get the yeah Anyway, Razors thing is unnamed so far Interface will be managed by Android TV expected this fall This is kind of funny X or bot from the forum had a really great comment for the haters saying Oh, yeah, and mojo were commercial failures This will be too and then he responded to that saying how many consoles were unsuccessful or moderately successful until the NES came along And made the formula work. I thought that was a really good point I don't necessarily agree that Razors console is gonna be the big winner here And I think it's probably gonna be some integration Within TVs that is gonna finally gain traction not smart TV. I think it'll be more like what they're trying to do with cars Yes, Apple and Google have been talking about that lately replacing the craptastic job that they've been doing making their cars intelligent They'll be doing the same thing by replacing the craptastic job that every single TV manufacturer has done with smart The problem with okay. The problem here though is the difference between car manufacturers and TV makers because car manufacturers Have been through the worst of it. They're like, okay we suck We need outside help someone please come tell us how to capture the minds and hearts of our customers again Please whereas TV makers are still living in like this castle of arrogance That we can do no wrong and $40,000 TV we're all gonna create our own freaking ridiculously stupid way of doing things that has nothing to do with anything else and this this comes back to And it's not a TV. It's the g3 again, but this comes back to my g3 review I'm just gonna try and find my notes on it is probably not gonna make it into my review because my review notes are Five pages and my limit for myself is two pages So like this is this is great share and connect under networks is like an LG proprietary Sharing thing and I'm just like What I have in here is LG and Samsung need to pull their heads out of their asses and work with open standards on this kind of stuff I Challenge anyone at LG or Samsung to come up with one time One time that some proprietary stupid only within one brand standard worked on a consumer product one time I Bet you can't it works with professional grade stuff Sony gets away with it with professional grade stuff because professionals have the budget to go and invest in an entire ecosystem Whereas consumers buy things piecemeal. I mean think about how you buy things as a consumer things other than food Let's talk about more expensive stuff. Obviously you go buy food You buy an entire meal So you go and you buy a hamburger you buy some fries and you buy something else and you expect all those things to go Together reasonably well, but let's say you go and you buy a house Let us doesn't cook actually. Let's not let's not talk about let's not talk about house. Let's come up with something a lot of pieces that kind of work together. Okay, let's say you furnish a house There's a great example. Do you go and buy all the same brand furniture? Just because there's a chance that it will operate together Correctly, or do you buy what suits your taste and what's appropriate to each of the different things that you're trying to achieve? That's how people buy things consumers That's how consumers buy things and a lot of times especially in the technology space You might buy something and then three years later You have to buy something else and then even if you did buy within the same ecosystem They're probably not gonna work together. Anyway, I know my favorite is the galaxy tab 10.1 the original one that didn't get support for all share. Yeah, whereas the the cellular By a key for interest Wireless version had it and there was like a firmware hack that the Samsung rep was telling me I could do and I'm just like Really? Why don't you guys just enable this crap? You're locking your own customers out of your own stinker proprietary thing that doesn't even work that well. Anyway, yeah And like I actually don't know anyone that buys a new a new PC laptop phone fridge Washing machine dryer and tablet tablet all the same time game console now game console like What it's like it just doesn't work that way No, and no amount of trying to make it work that way is going to make it to make it work that way All right, we should probably do our sponsor spot here. So this is cool You guys some of you anyway are gonna probably like this I thought it was pretty neat stay on this page. I guess save the pages save the changes. Um Leave this page. Here we go. So this is fun. We actually had a really great Livestream with Intel earlier this week. I'm gonna post it in the twitch chat here and I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna throw up the lower the lower third that we used for it So it was hashtag Devils Canyon and Intel's new CPUs I just launched and we actually had one of their product marketing engineers His name's Darren Lynch on the show to talk about behind the scenes Which is something so guys go ahead bookmark that go watch it later It's only about an hour long and it's really really informative because there's a ton of stuff about what goes on To bring a CPU to market that you don't even think about I mean we were talking about all kinds of crazy options like having a liquid cooler in the box Having a gold plated IHS I mean these are things they've considered and he talked about the reasons why they would be cool the reasons why they just don't work in the real world Even things like changing the box He talks about the challenges involved in that and it might not sound that interesting right now But it was like something like remember when AMD did that tin box for the FX processors It's he kind of laughed when I brought it up because he was like, yeah, it's funny You mentioned that because I can tell you exactly how much that box cost We ran out and looked at how much it would cost to source it In fact, we've done it several times both before and after the competitor did it just and just every time We just kind of looked at it and we went, you know, like we've looked at packaging for extreme editions That's like a column like a clear column that has the CPU floating at the top And he's just like but that package is gonna cost $50 So I mean do we take that out of our margin? Do we charge the customer another 50 bucks? Then you get customers complaining they're paying $50 for packaging and he's like and frankly I agree with them yeah, so that's why it just comes in this box and Cuz I and it was funny because I didn't actually realize at the time that I had someone who had as much influence on McCall because I was like, yeah and what's up with Intel changing the extreme edition packages to blue instead of black and he's like Well, that was actually me who made that call Awkward yeah, so he was straight-up responsible for some of the things that I've been whining about for the last few years and I was really interesting to get his and he was really perspective. Yeah, he was really honest, which was really refreshing and really cool so guys I'm gonna link that one more time and you should definitely check it out because it was super educational and There you go. All right So let's move on to our next sponsor today and that is a dollar shave club if I could find It is All right, so I have all the dollar shave club stuff now You can hold these So basically guys dollar shave club if you're not familiar with it already is the fast easy way to get high quality Shaving and bathroom supplies delivered to your door And it's funny because I actually had someone joking on Twitter about why dollar shave club would sponsor this guy When they could sponsor someone with you know, a manly awesome beard like Logan instead To which I have this to say over the last few days. Oh my screen sharing is not working anymore Oh, right. I wanted to share my screen with you guys on the network. Oh No, but it could be yes. Okay, I will do that So I will share this on the network and then I will you guys should have seen him on Highlander He tried to be a Highlander. Yeah, I was like I was grizzly. I was I was like, yeah I'm gonna do this. So people are like he was Linus Grizzly. Yeah Linus can't even grow a beard Why does dollar shave club, you know sponsor this guy and the answer is because if they didn't then it's possible that you would have to deal with this Oh He's hideous That is what I look like if I have about four days of stubble It's disgusting. It's horrible and thanks to dollar shave clubs high quality razors that you can get delivered to you once a month So you can use a fresh razor for a nice clean and comfortable shave every single week You don't have to look at that Isn't it awful? Everyone should sign up for dollar shave club right now so that they never have to look at or like that That's the most compelling pitch that I can come up with also They have other great products their shave butter makes things more comfortable for you to you know Take the hair off your face with also it goes on clear so you can see what you're doing And finally one wipe Charlie's which I could do a live demonstration for you with but no I'm getting okay No one wants a live demonstration peppermint scented butt wipes from your someone wants a lot They just plain do a better job think about it this way baby wipes are they pre-moistened or are they dry? They're pre-moistened Adult toilet paper is it pre-moistened or is it dry it's dry What's more effective to remove something a baby wipe or a piece of toilet paper? There you go All right, and our last one is a Squarespace so this one is actually fun We're going to do our winner announcement from last week So we're gonna search for hashtag Linus Squarespace where I asked anyone who has used our offer code So that's offer code Linus over the last little while I asked for everyone to submit Your own Squarespace sites, and we were going to pick a winner at random So we're gonna do that in a moment, but first guys Squarespace is the easy fast affordable way to make a beautiful website It really truly is we use it for LinusMediaGroup.com Luke's building his own website with it It's just plain better and easier to use than a lot of other options out there They have 24-7 tech support all their templates look really great And they've got different templates that are designed for all kinds of different uses whether you want a little site for your small business A store a blog a portfolio It'll look great on the desktop on mobile on a laptop everything in between maybe not on a watch Although I should let the Squarespace guys know I want to see like like You know Googleware optimized Squarespace templates in the near future if they can offer that then they'll be the first to have the world's most pointless feature Now we can web browse like this What's that? I can't see! Seriously though Squarespace has features that matter like enabling you to just Use their logo designer to create a cool logo for yourself It's actually really fast to use we did it live once and it took us like a couple minutes to make a cool logo and like Previewed on a business card I wasn't quite done building my website because of e3 stuff and everything that came up when my trial ran up and I felt so bad Because they like send you these emails. They're like, what could we have done better? I'm like nothing you were fine. It was me. I'm sorry There was nothing wrong with you. I had to go on a trip and work.

So head over to Dollar Shave Club.com and sign up now So that you don't look like a scary scary person Should I make them look at it one more time? Sure. Oh my gosh. Look at him. He's hideous I wish I could zoom it in more. We really should have taken that picture right when you got off the mountain We just all looked so messed up. I know I don't think my eyes have ever looked that sunken before in my life I told you I went to the washroom and looked in the mirror when we got to that restaurant and was just like what? I hardly recognized my own face. Me too. Like it was pretty horrible Thank goodness I have shaved now You know what's funny is that reminds me of something that I thought of at the beginning of the show to improve the show So I made you guys look at that but check this out. I came up with this brilliant idea Oh yeah Check this out The WAN show now with 30% more handsome Sure And he never needed a co-host again See what I was trying to say is that he should at least try to find some way to delay that video There's got to be some way I would be surprised if you can do that I don't think so As long as we don't crash X split you're okay to tinker with it I don't want to mess with it anymore but if you could have one side that was delayed a little bit so it looked at least slightly like there was two different movements That would be pretty cool I guess that would help a lot I'm sorry you guys You could have Linus and then make the other one that weird inverted color thing so it's like Linus and Hulk Linus I've put you guys through so much today Alright the original poster for this one was Diff? DLF? I don't know whatever So Forbes.com is the article that we're using to reference here and PS now prices have been leaked Someone told me to push you out of the way so it was double me For crying out loud it just keeps screwing up the screen region capture I think what I have to do is just do this And then we could all look at Forbes' ad together and continue to the site Thanks Forbes Thanks for that dog Alright PlayStation now a good idea with a bad plan says the writer So pretty much we're looking at pricing anywhere from 4 to 7 US dollars to rent a game for a week You can rent for 4 hours, 7 days, 30 days or 90 days with some time periods unavailable for some games There are a couple of issues with the way that they're handling it though So pricing's a little bit questionable with 4 hour chunks of time coming in at around I think it's 3 to 4 dollars So you're paying nearer or about a dollar an hour to play the game Something that might be okay if you just want to try it before you buy But I mean another factor is that these are mostly older games I'm kind of sitting here going like I could probably find one in a used bin and pay like 15 bucks for it or 10 bucks or 20 bucks and own it forever Someone in the chat said or just get the same price on a Steam sale Well remember this is PlayStation games So this is like their... Yeah And then it's up to about 30 dollars for a 90 day period And again with an older game you're looking at a situation where for 30 bucks you could probably just own it forever and get a disc I think the biggest problem here is not the idea I think the idea of renting games digitally is still fine The Forbes author criticizes this concept in general and says something like a subscription based service would be much better But I suspect Sony's hands are pretty much tied on that one I don't think they'd be able to do it Well yeah because right now they're leaving pricing up to the publisher And I think they'd have to And I think they would have to do that I mean it's much like Steam, Valve doesn't set the pricing for a third party title Yeah So Valve can't just come in and say okay we're going to have a Steam subscription You pay 60 bucks a month and you can play any game on Steam because... To do that they'd have to set up like a Netflix like service which would be insanity How do you divvy up the funds according to what got watched? Or maybe you do or maybe you don't, I don't know It seems like we're asking for a lot and at least this is a step in the right direction in terms of digital distribution It's just, it's not quite there yet, it's got to be cheaper Older games in particular probably shouldn't be very expensive One issue I have with sort of pay per use in general is that it's going to lead developers even more down that path Where multiplayer is the only thing that matters because they're going to be optimizing for play time Rather than necessarily compelling storytelling which is something that does have a value Yeah like I know Transistor isn't really the longest game ever but it ends when it should end Like I feel like if they added things to it and they made it longer it would have just been wasted time Have you played much Bravely Default yet speaking of games that don't end when they should end? No I haven't Okay Not much, I played a little bit You're driving me crazy because I don't want to spoil the game for you because there are parts of it that are good but... I haven't had any time Yeah I know And then like on the plane back when I was intending to play it I was just like katoonk There was no way that was happening I passed out so hard on the plane back from Highlander Me too, well you and me passed out on the floor in the airport before the plane We did do that thing Alright so the OP for the first Android and that is to say robot not Android the mobile operating system It's real confusing Yeah I know right, a newscaster this was posted by Top War Gamer in the forum and this stuff is scary man I'm going to go ahead and load up the YouTube video here I apologize for this slightly less elegant than usual way of doing this Go ahead Don't go through the whole screen, you don't want me to see your task bar Well whatever man I don't care So screen share with Linus or go ahead and maximize that So Japan on Bails the world's first Android newscaster So he hands her a piece of paper Apparently the robot has perfect language skills and a sense of humor Man that's creepy This guy is slightly less creepy That's the guy that made the robot of himself That was actually even crazier than this There's certain times when it's like this chick when she's sitting at certain points in time and when it pans past the other girl Very specific points in time where it's very hard to tell Other than that though the movements you can still tell That one I think the other girl looks more realistic in my opinion Yeah probably But anyway she's reading some news about an earthquake Obviously a lot of this is programmed right now and they're not able to just kind of come up with things on their own But the objective is to keep improving this and yeah I guess the future is going to be an interesting time and place This brings up a conversation that I actually brought up when we were at the airport Which is where everyone is using the automated terminals And I noticed one of the big things we got flack for on the show Not flack but one of the big things that became a conversation when we've talked about automation on the show before Is people have brought up that people need human interaction And I see that being disproven everywhere The amount of times that I see people voluntarily go through the self-automated checkout Instead of the person driven checkout at stores is getting more and more and more And then now at airports it almost becomes frustrating to have to deal with people It's kind of annoying because it's like I have to deal with this person who's probably going to be a jerk When I could have maybe just gotten through the terminal with no problem The flip side of that is that on both our flight to Denver and our flight back They are the worst terminal systems ever The automated terminal didn't pick up my reservation on the way there And then yours and Ed's reservations on the way back Because they thought we already checked in which is really bad And we had to go talk to a person They can make them better though but I don't know about that whole required human interaction argument Flip side Okay so I'm going to get you to cover this one because you're the VR geek So this project was originally thought of by French Googlers David Cause and Damien Henry In part of their 20% thing which I thought was gone but is apparently still here so that's cool So the 20% thing is where 20% of your time at Google has to be spent doing kind of your own independent projects And then people thought this thing was so freaking cool that they jumped on and made SDKs for it And it actually became a much bigger deal Is this screen sharing? Yep So you saw it, if you click it again I think it goes back together If you scroll up more I think there's a way to make it go slower There we go, there we go If you manually scroll it, it goes slower So you can see this is the package that people got at Google I.O. You can't just buy this I don't think So if you went to Google I.O. you got this package So you pull the tab thing and then it folds out all nicely But you can make this on your own If you have a laser cutter they actually have the file that you need for the laser cutter to be able to read that file and then cut it for you Or there's instructions on how to cut it with a nice X-Acto knife or something like that And the magnet on the side with the washer thing that's sitting there is actually a button They can't see you but sure now they can There's a magnet on the side which I actually wanted you to scroll to it not look at me But either way there's a magnet on the side which looks like it doesn't really have a use But if you're looking at something and you want to select it you just pull the magnet down Which is actually really smart and it apparently works really well from the videos that I've seen which is really cool They haven't tried it on a ton of phones yet Fully compatible phones are Google Nexus 4 and 5, Motorola Moto X, Samsung Galaxy S4 and 5, and Samsung Galaxy Nexus Partially compatible phones are HTC One, Motorola Moto G, and Samsung Galaxy S3 That's really not a ton of phones It's about a 180-meg app and includes a bunch of stuff that you can do already So you can fly around on Google Earth You can go on a tour of Versailles with a local guide You can watch YouTube videos on a massive screen so it's just using the lenses So the lenses are one of the things you have to figure out how to source They help you though So you use those lenses to make the screen appear much larger and further away than it is And it is a custom YouTube app Like if you're watching the video and you look over to the right there will be other video selections And you can use that thing on the side to select those videos It's fairly interesting, I don't know I mean obviously this isn't going to take the place of something like Oculus like we were joking in the intro It's not trying to though Some things that will be really interesting is stuff like Street View, stuff like Google Earth The Versailles local guide Windy Day Windy Day will be really cool I've used Windy Day on Moto X, I don't know if you have It's actually kind of fun even with just the Moto X Being able to do it with a cardboard thing would be kind of awesome Windy Day is kind of a little interactive thing where you kind of look around with your screen And it's kind of like a little movie but But it'd be already sort of interactive You control the camera essentially So you follow this hat pretty much That's what happens But it's actually pretty cool It's pretty neat Yeah, I'm definitely going to make one I don't have access to a laser cutter So I'm probably going to try to get a really sharp knife Nice And do the best that I can I'm not going to pizza box it I'm actually going to try and source like proper materials So I'll see how I can do there If you are interested in making one Definitely go to Google's website Which I believe is developers.google.com slash cardboard Because they actually have sourced everything for you already It's very possibly out of stock because a whole bunch of people have been buying them And if you look at one of them and then look at the items frequently bought together They're all the other ones So they're pretty easy to find But yeah, they also help you source it locally So they'll be like here's an Amazon or other website link to this product And also here's all of its specs If you want to try and find it somewhere else that you can buy it Alright, another news Intel has apparently asked AMD for access to Mantle for an experiment So there's nothing that sounds super committal The original article here is from Tweak Town from Intel on this I mean basically, yeah, for an experiment They have reaffirmed their position with DirectX Saying they're still committed to this open standard That they think is going to continue to drive the industry forward And address the previous issues with API overhead And all the stuff that Mantle was looking to try to help developers with But that isn't to say that Intel is completely dismissing it Which I think is really interesting Because as much as there's the whole AMD versus Nvidia fanboy war Something that a lot of people forget is that Intel actually has more market share for graphics Than the two of the others combined And this has been true for years and years and years and years It's actually something that Darren, our expert from Intel brought up And so if Intel were to stay committed to DirectX That could pretty much dictate the direction the industry goes And if Intel were to get on board with Mantle Along with the 47 game developers that are signed up for the API Then that could dictate the direction that the industry goes It's amazing how much power Intel has in very strange ways sometimes Something that the article also mentions is that Nvidia has apparently only signed up Crytek and Ubisoft to its GameWorks program However, I think that that could be a little bit deceptive I don't think that AAA game makers are the ones who are going to mostly take advantage of a program like GameWorks I see that more as an indie play and I think we might see more come out of that in the next couple of years But apparently AMD responded by asking Intel for a month or two until it's out of closed beta And there we go An Intel spokesperson said at the time of initial Mantle announcement We were already investigating rendering overhead based on game developer feedback Our hope was to build consensus on potential approaches to reduce overhead with additional data We have publicly asked them to share the spec with us several times as part of examination of potential ways to improve APIs and increase efficiencies So that doesn't really sound a whole lot like they're planning to use Mantle or push towards Mantle They just want to mess with it It sounds more like they just want to dink around with it in the lab Which is, I don't know, that's cool I get it Maybe optimizations or something, who knows The Moto 360 watch face competition is over This is actually the one I liked best even though I didn't end up voting You want the one? Yeah Yeah There was a couple that I was like, ooh, I would have absolutely no problem with that one This was definitely the one that I liked best Yeah, me too I mean as much as I don't prefer to read an analog face if I don't have to, this looks really good Yeah, it does The one thing that does bother me is a lot of the space is taken up with telling me the time Whereas I would like for a lot of the space to be taken up with reading my text message I have pretty good eyes It can And I like small fonts Yes, I know you can change it out to whatever you want But I wish that instead of just having an icon for Gmail, there was more room on the main watch face to read messages Like if we could put the time up here and then have message previews down here or something Personally, I don't mind that because I don't want it to be aggressive Yep, and I don't hate this either I actually quite like it Well, you said it was your favorite one It was my favorite one I didn't think you hated it Just like personally, I don't like reading things until I want to read them I end up marking things unread a lot because I'll accidentally click on something and just be like, damn it, I need to read this later I'm not ready for this right now So I don't mind it kind of hiding in there for now This is funny because it kind of ties into one of our sponsors Where Dollar Shave Club Oh, right, I keep forgetting that we're not doing the normal thing This ties into one of our sponsors pretty well because Dollar Shave Club's whole thing is, you know, razors with vibrating handles and all these features that actually don't do anything We don't do any of that stuff Well, this is Oral-B's new toothbrush that pairs to your phone via Bluetooth Freaking genius So this is posted by Nissan And basically it gives you a bunch of information including things like how you can brush for better results And it can share your brushing habits with your health care professional Something that I'm sure that my dentist would be like, what? If I told them about Why do I care? There's that one time that you leave it plugged in and on It's like, he brushed for three days What? I'm sure there's a safeguard against that Are you sure? I'm pretty sure Remember the zero voltage thing that happened? No, what is this? That certain board that reports voltage of your CPU And it was like, zero volts Oh, yeah, right Things that you would think it would just have like sanity checks Built-in sanity checks need to be a thing Because without them you can end up with some really funny software stuff Eeveeblog, however he pronounces that This is actually pretty interesting Posted a great video about how solar roadways are basically grade ABS Did the math and pretty much at the end of the video the conclusion is They would consume more power than they produce They have proven absolutely nothing with respect to what they can handle in terms of weight And what they can handle in terms of traction They are extremely expensive You can watch the video here on the forum if you want The original poster here was Juritrun or something along those lines Juritrun I mean it's a great idea in theory They raised over two million dollars through crowdfunding But it is pretty unlikely that this will see the light of day in this generation It's something that we talked about originally on the show and we kind of went Okay, yeah Something a lot of people are saying in Twitch chat And yeah, we know is that there's actually been a lot of videos about this out for a long time But this one was really good Yeah, well, some of the other ones are pretty good too Yeah Either way So I mean, yeah, so what we need then is just some kind of outlandish idea That sounds like really great to eco freaks And then we need like a really great campaign video Solar freaking wordways Well, that wasn't their campaign video That's the funny thing about it No, but that's what drove more Yes, it drove a lot of it So then we need like that we need to find that guy to make our viral video That should be like solar trees They grow with sunlight They should fund us They also make oxygen Wow, you need that to live Isn't that freaking awesome? They look great in your yard And they live for hundreds of years They're seasonal Wow Or they're not Maybe not It's up to you Evergreen You have the choice, man Evergreen can be a stretch goal And growing your own weed plant can be the next stretch goal Stimulate economies if they make it legal Oh, it's funny because we were in Colorado Yeah All right, also posted by Twisted Dictator on the forum Witcher 3 to feature boob physics Which is one of those things where it's like if Witcher 3 was the first game to include boob physics Then this I guess would be news Hopefully they perform good boob physics But apparently Next Power Up thought it was news So my favorite thing is either they jump around and they just sit there like solid bricks Or they jump around and then they go like No one can see you right now But I think they should probably see that illustration of what you were talking about I'm sorry, how did you want the boobs to move again? I didn't say I wanted them to move this way I said with bad boob physics, they do move this way So either they jump around and they just sit there, which is not realistic Or they jump around and then like a while afterwards it's like, oh That's not how they work either We've seen that in quite a few games and it gets super stupid after a while Or like there'll be a slight movement Like they'll just slightly get bumped and it's like, oh Let us sit there bouncing for a while It's like, no, no You know, the thing is if these If these strategies didn't work, game developers wouldn't do it So for all the people who get all upset about this kind of thing Just if you didn't buy into it, if you didn't make a bunch of noise about it, it would go away I'm down for more realistic gameplay So if they make that realistic, that's cool I think it should be And I'm all for equality So I think we should have like realistic testicle physics You know what? Unless you're playing Rust If CD Projekt Red wanted to seem like, you know, very equality minded Then they would definitely do that Like if we had realistic junk swaying But then there isn't that many games other than like Rust That you're actually going to see that Yeah, but they could Boobs are very exterior You're going to see them even if they're covered up The thing about the thing about the thing about breasts though Is that game developers design their game around making sure that the breast physics are on display the whole time So they design the female characters' outfits So you want someone to design a game based around Yeah, having the junk physics there for the world to see Why not? So the camera angle is going to have to be like down on... What? Or like, you know how Lara Croft shamelessly provocatively stretches whenever you're not doing anything for a while? So somebody's going to have to do the unstick step It's going to have to have realistic physics Or just like the, you know, the karate technique, you know? Oh no! Okay. Oh wow. Swimming Simulator 2014. Yes! All the banana hammocks We need the Nvidia to add that into their... Yeah, GameWorks library for like junk physics And all the viewers laugh No, Twitch breaks every once in a while I know Twitch breaks. I'm just kidding Oh man. Oh, people on the Twitch chat are like, stop, please! And it's funny because your timing is excellent I think we're pretty much done here Are there any other topics in the doc you really wanted to hit? We didn't talk about Highlander at all, but I guess we have all the videos coming Yeah, Highlander videos will be coming You're going to see videos from Austin You're going to see videos from us Oh, okay, this is kind of a big deal Microsoft is offering... this was originally posted by GoodBytes on the forum Microsoft is offering up to $650 off of Surface Pro 3 If you exchange a MacBook Air at a Microsoft store, it does have to be working But, quite frankly I would take the MacBook Air over the Surface at this point Which isn't to say I would buy a MacBook But you bought a Surface! I did, but I'm going to sell it Yeah, not for a MacBook Yeah, not for a MacBook. I'm going to keep using my XPS 12 Because, to me, this... Okay, so here That's basically how it works Okay, so you get a little bit of more thinness And it is lighter, and it is smaller Like, it's significantly lighter than the XPS 12 Is it enough that it matters, though? Like, no It's enough. It's something Okay, so you get more thinness So there's that I'm not making the point here about the thinness It really is thinner You didn't make much of a point about thinness or weight Because there's not much weight difference Is a significant weight difference But the problem for me Is that Windows 8 is not a good tablet experience It's actually nothing to do with the hardware The hardware is very beautiful Pick it up more, and then... Yeah, junk physics Not that I'm calling the Surface junk The problem is just There's not enough USB ports Two USB ports is minimum To call it a reasonably functional PC We get one It does have mini display port out Which is nice compared to other tablets There's no SD card reader, to my knowledge Although they might have hidden one under there No, they didn't So there's no SD card reader or anything like that It is very beautiful The kickstand is a lot better than the first gen Which is the last time I tried one It comes all the way out here So that gives you a lot of different options Like, you can sit on a plane And you can lean it up against a seat in front of you The magnetic lock for the keyboard Is pretty robust, which is cool So you can lean it up against something in bed Or you can put it down here And you can rest it on your knee And you can legitimately use it And all that stuff is great But the question I have to ask myself Is why would I ever use it without the keyboard? And then if I'm never going to use it without the keyboard Then why wouldn't I just want my keyboard Occasionally attached? Once in a while, I do use Windows 8 as a tablet Sorry? Yeah, permanently attached, like this Once in a while, I do use Windows 8 as a tablet When that happens, this may be bulkier But it's good enough because I'm not going to do it very often And that's going to be basically the conclusion of my Surface review Apparently Wendell has an SD card reader Maybe I didn't find it I'm not done my review yet Like, I'm not actually filming this until next week So I haven't... Basically the way that I usually do my reviews is... Did you see it? Apparently it's under the hinge It's under the hinge? Finally, that's a really weird... That seems pretty sensible Under the hinge, eh? I don't... I don't... Oh, maybe that's the micro SD slot right there There you go Why would you put micro SD on it? Really? Oh, headache, anyway Um... Oh... Not helpful when I'm offloading footage on a video set or something like that Um... Oh, anyway Where was I going with this? Right, so the way I typically do a review Is I figure out as much as I can on my own Without really looking at any other media coverage of it Then I go back and I look at sort of the launch Press release and all that stuff To make sure that I'm not missing anything critical So I would have figured the SD card out I'm still not particularly pleased with it And I'm still not going to switch from a convertible like this Because it just doesn't make any sense to me I use it as a tablet so rarely That I might as well have something That... Here, this is the ultimate example of why I'm not going to use this Because I can use it in my lap Sort of But why have this Which if I go to, you know, oh, pick it up and it falls apart Why have that when I can just have this Which is weighted correctly to not fall off the back of me I can pick it up however I want I can turn it around, I can use it like this It's just a lot more flexible It's a lot more practical and it's cheaper So at the same price I would take the XPS 12 At a lower price I would definitely take the XPS 12 I don't know that there are many other convertibles That I like better than the XPS 12 though Sony's is terrible Like just tragic I don't have a ton of experience with different convertibles I like that one a lot though The Yoga's excellent When we had the Yoga at the NCX office I liked it a lot People are bringing up the pen for the Surface As someone who doesn't use a pen I'm not a big fan People who are talking about note taking with a pen Yeah, I get that However Show them the thing Which thing? Oh, the fact that the only way to take a screenshot is with the pen Oh no, I meant like Oh, right So my issue with the pen is that it doesn't stash in the device And the geniuses at Microsoft I'm sure they're very smart legitimately But this is how you're supposed to attach the pen to the Surface There's a little magnet where the charging port is That you're supposed to attach the pen to It just comes off And then if you get a type cover The innovative solution there is you stick a sticker on it Don't worry, I know the word You stick a sticker to it And then you put the pen through the loop on the sticker And I'm just like Really? You guys engineered a fraction of a cent solution to a problem that actually matters That's what you did just there Yeah, the reason why I like how the 2DS is made Is it's super easy to get the pen Because that's where they put the colored strap along the back It's not even a strap The colored piece of plastic is where the pen goes It's super easy to grab it, super easy to put it back I get that it's thin and that's great But I'm sorry I'm not keeping it I was going to keep it if it was fantastic The keyboard though is not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be I actually quite like the type cover keyboard It's surprisingly good So there's that Alright, I think we're done here Guys, thank you for watching the WAN Show If you're tuning in late The archive will be up on the YouTube sometime in the next little while Or up on Twitch immediately For those of you We had someone complaining on the forum about how the archive goes up really late And it's just like It's up right away on Twitch And they're just like I don't want to watch on Twitch I'm like okay It's kind of like when people message me on Facebook Hey, I noticed on your Facebook It says not to message you on Facebook And to message you on Twitter But I don't have Twitter So I'm messaging you here I'm just like Twitter's free man, sorry There's a reason that I only accept messages on Twitter And here, I will screen share with you guys I will show you why I only accept messages on Twitter I'm going to go on Facebook right now And I'm going to share with you guys You're not screen sharing right now, right? Nope Not yet Okay, so I'm going to go on my Linus Tech Twitter Facebook Malaysian Okay Here we go Twitter my Facebook Malaysian So here's my screen Here is why I will never reply to Facebook messages Because when I click on them And I write a reply Hello, sorry, I don't reply to Facebook messages Press enter to send Actually, it's a lot faster now Okay, well they're doing better It used to be really really slow to load messages Like that's slow It's better now That was still pretty slow No, that's pretty fast Okay, it used to be really slow Now I don't have an excuse But still, RTM Well there's methodology now You don't want to answer there You want to answer someone else Yes, and the thing about Twitter too Is I get a lot of people tweeting me saying Hey, I want to ask you a question that's longer than 140 characters How do I do that? And the answer is you don't Because I get too many messages The best thing to do if you have a tech question Is to post on the Linus Tech Tips forum It's like really good That's a good place to go and ask questions Because if you don't get the right answer the first time Someone else will post the right answer at some point I had someone do that And then tweet back to me saying that no one answered them They tweeted I checked times on things They tweeted me like 3 minutes after they posted their thing I checked it like 30 minutes afterwards And by the time I checked it There was a page and a half of comments Nice We should probably end the show at some point here But I could rant about tweets forever I am doing after party tonight And I am doing my 24 hour charity stream That I talked about this weekend I don't know exactly when it will start But it's happening You're crazy Child's play man Child's play is cool Alright Peace out guys Bye everyone Oh dang it That wasn't Should we beatbox? I can't beatbox I'm terrible See that's not percussion Yeah that's not really beatboxing either I think we should have a junk physics shirt What would be the logo though? I think you know what the logo would be But then we couldn't sell
