ready what what's not ready when the intro rules we're not gonna have any of
it oh yeah I can do that live no it's okay don't worry about it welcome to the
land show guys we're gonna pan show yeah the land from Japan we're gonna have to
be a little quiet today cuz we're in the lobby yeah we're in the lobby of like
the most kick-ass hotel ever by the way this is awesome this place is absolutely
incredible it's great they gave us kimono things what is that music that's
you what it plays here it doesn't matter if it's muted or not hey shut up it's a
positive geez so anyway the the thing behind us that you guys see is like this
amazing little like miss koi pond yeah there's like a huge koi pond like these
salmon sized fish and like this gorgeous like plant life and trees growing out of
the cliff face and all kinds of cool stuff like that
salmon sized fish you know what okay we're both pretty tired the fish I
caught was the size of a salmon and it was a salmon was it a big salmon I don't
know just an average salmon average salmon but it was delicious don't worry
about it we do oh yeah we do have topics yeah but like okay here I'm just I'm
gonna show this to you guys because this is straight up the most like the best
broken no no that's last week oh this is like the most broken worthless when show
doc that we've ever had it has literally no actual nose it just has stuff that
happened this week that neither Luke nor I has had any time to look at because
I've been on vacation and he's been covering for me on vacation and oh
apparently ghost is actually working on it right now trying to fix it yeah ghost
there's no hope and it like won't matter because we suck right now yeah we're
like how much have you slept in the last like four days oh four days probably six
hours two hours before I came on this trip and then I've had 2.3 I'm counting
a hot dog as a third of a meal so I've had 2.3 solid meals in the last one of
those five days like one of those amazing things I've ever had yeah but
yes but included raw chicken yes so that was weird that was pretty bizarre
so I've been super sick and so I haven't rested well either so yeah we're gonna
like hang with you guys for a bit and this is gonna be the wan show this week
welcome to the tired show from Japan and where we have the fresh books thing
sitting there this entire time you know what fresh books is cool man
whatever you have topics we have top right let me show you the trail yeah I
don't know if I fixed the audio or not it's like cutting out it's weird is it
yeah this is kind of bizarre it's a new-age thing
you know don't do the live scene and I got it that's not even okay that is one
of them you didn't do that fresh books fresh books
Squarespace Linda no big deal I did it no big deal yeah you got this all right
guys so you don't have oh wait can you open twitch chat and paste link paste
links they're asking us to get Ed and Taryn on the show in twitch chat okay
so we were supposed to fly out of wherever we are back to Tokyo at like 6
p.m. at 6 p.m. instead we're trying to reschedule our flight at the airport in
the morning so we have to be at the airport at 6 a.m. so it is now almost 1
a.m. here we have to wake up at 4 yeah it's gonna be awesome by sweet what we
were doing while we were here was actually pretty cool so for those of you
who don't know we were sent to Japan by Logitech to take a look at the Omron
factory so everyone kind of knows cherry right they make switches that go in
keyboards and it's slightly less common I think for people to know Omron even
though they're kind of like the mouse switch like the the mouse micro switch
equivalent to cherry like if it doesn't have Omron switches in the mouse you
might as well not bother so Omron and Logitech partnered up over the course of
two and a half years to create the Romer G switches and they're both so proud of
what they've done that they invited us all the way out here to actually have a
look at one of well actually both but we only filmed one of them but the
production lines for every single Romer G switch that goes in well right now the
Logitech g910 yeah that's it so that's what we did we checked it out I was
amazed at how different the Japanese approach has been to the German approach
and we'll give you guys more details in the actual video but that's what we're
doing here so for now I guess I guess what I'll do is go ahead and kick off
our first topic so this week apparently the Apple watch reviews landed actually
I I did check out some of the reviews on the Apple watch and I guess the the main
summary here so like some some headlines hmm so gizmodo says Apple watch meta
review it's not perfect but it's still something something that the general
consensus is it's first gen and it's not some first gen sort of mess about it but
you know it's a great start or it's really cool or I'd love to have one or
it's a fashion piece and I kind of look at this and I go how okay now to be
clear I may end up eating these words because I haven't got one yet yeah I do
plan to get one I do plan to use it and I do plan to give it a fair shake
because it's not like I just hate Apple or something I really respect a lot of
what they do and I really like a lot of their products but the Apple watch
unless I am somehow a complete idiot and having a screen on your wrist that isn't
on without a motion activation gesture is asinine and seeing reading between
the lines in a lot of these reviews with pretty much everyone across the board
going it's first gen it's first gen first gen issues there are some first
gen things to work out what that means is don't buy this yeah do not buy it
yeah that's a terrible terrible idea and if you buy it you're basically dumb
because what does first gen mean it means beta pretty much yeah I mean it's
not every first gen product has first gen issues so when you say that you're
basically saying it's a bad not finished product and to me it feels like an
awful lot of sucking up is going on right now for the sake of making sure
that you don't get taken off Apple's favored journalists list because that
list does exist yeah we've never been on it so we have absolutely nothing to you
will never be on it I think all they all they have to do is watch this stream
right now and us ever being on it is a foregone conclusion no I don't even have
anything against Apple we'll just never be able to be on it yeah we're actually
we're just not cool enough I think no even just that but like we're I think
we're too objective I don't even think that's it because a non tech was on it
their objective but then it didn't and on like end up working there yes but
that relationship came later hmm you know he went from being a PC guy to
buying a Mac and trying it out and falling in love with the experience for
some reason so that's like that's fine so that's why we're not so maybe it's
not because we're objective it's because we're sassy so the Apple watch reviews
are here there are some there are some good things that came out of it so some
people are talking about how the functionality is great how it you know
feels really good the fit and finish is really nice having it on the wrist
attracted a lot of attention a lot of compliments but I I continue to have the
same issue with any old no
but I continue to have the same issue with no I'm not gonna know I'm not gonna
miss a beat I'm not gonna let you screw me up I continue to have the same issue
with screens that are not always on and battery life that is just barely
borderline like the funny thing is one reviewer who gave a fairly overall
positive sounding review said something along the lines of I equate it to my
experience with the first iPhone and that raises a couple of alarm bells for
me number one the first iPhone was revolutionary but wasn't actually a
great phone by any stretch of the imagination and number two is that if
this is like the first iPhone to you then have you even used another
smartwatch because that was what was amazing about the first iPhone was how
different it was the Apple watch is not fundamentally different from other
smartwatches in the way that the iPhone was different from other phones at the
time so basically with dude it's got that like menu with all the circles I
know that's different well you could say stupid things like that about Android
where to know and the associated devices that's that's no this is different you
can like flip through the pages I don't know of any Android wear watch that I
could spend ten grand on that's true well hold on you could probably find a
way like if you it's like an Android we're watching golden be like it is now
damn good yeah like if you put enough Swarovski crystal around it I mean Lord
knows I've seen people do that with cell phone cases so it's probably possible to
bedazzle something with $10,000 worth of Swarovski Chris that needs to be a world
record like is there a world record for the most bedazzled thing I think I saw
an entire bedroom that was no that was like done up yeah is that what that
thing was called the bedazzler yeah I think so I'm gonna look it up the
dazzler yep yep yep that was it oh man that thing was amazing all right let's
go ahead and move on to our next our next topic here the new Mac wondering
how they're ready to get about the bedazzling but it's all good yeah we're
not gonna talk about bedazzling that this is another thing that's the same
this is this is basically exactly I just post it this is basically exactly the
same conversation we just had except to a much greater degree because I could
make the argument that the Apple watch is a justifiable product if you are an
Apple iPhone user and you want a smartphone system and you don't want a
pebble yeah if all those things then you want a smart watch Apple watch if that
as well if also have three hundred and fifty dollars plus then Apple smart
watch with the MacBook I fail to understand how Apple is receiving
positive reviews for this thing yeah and I even skimmed through a few of the
reviews and I found things like well a lot of the complaints about the new
MacBook like not having enough ports are similar to complaints about the original
MacBook Air and how it didn't have enough ports so it's good well actually
the original MacBook Air was a slow-ass dog with not enough ports and that never
changed yeah it wasn't a great product yeah it was revolutionary in that it was
extremely thin it was the first ultrabook like the first really good
super ultra thin ultrabook machine but it wasn't a great computer it had a
fatal flaw that made people upgrade them pretty darn quickly when's the last time
you saw a gen 1 air no and so I've got people I've got dude when he pulled it
with a notebook oh yeah that's impressive it was whereas the new MacBook
is not enough thinner than an existing MacBook Air cripples itself and the big
argument that I see supposed professional reviewers making are that
it's fanless it's as if the UX 305 doesn't exist that's what it is right
that's the Asus one right I don't know this Lenovo ones as well
I found this one yeah I saw them at CES you're on Japanese Google yeah Japanese
Google well I'm just on google.ca no that's the new one yeah yeah it's as if
the UX 305 doesn't exist I mean it's the same fundamental hardware idea where
you've got what is essentially a tablet on an extremely small PCB inside a
laptop chassis and then the rest of it filled with battery and it's fanless
because it's extremely low power and so I see the same thing being done oh it's
first gen but it's good is it first gen or is it good because it doesn't have
any ports it's not very fast and it's extremely expensive so you pay the early
adopter tax that's not that's not the kind of thing that normally gets a
glowing recommendation oh yeah like I I've done I'm fairly notorious for
early adopter tax on certain things yeah I've done oculus and whatnot but at the
same time every single time I've done it I've recommended that people did not do
it so I just is probably not a good idea don't do this it won't retain value it's
blah blah blah blah and you know what I saw I saw a couple reviewers who managed
to say you know I like it I've got someone saying stop talking about Apple
no one cares actually you're objectively wrong so anyway I've had some reviewers
saying because okay hold on let's back up for the reason we're talking about
this is not because this is ground we haven't covered and not because the
Apple watch or the MacBook the new one are particularly interesting products to
me personally but because it's in much the same way that for all the negativity
that came along with it gamergate was supposed to be about exposing the
problems with gaming journalism here I see a big problem with tech journalism
where you have to really read between the lines to find out what the reviewer
actually thought of the product where they're saying it's good it's first-gen
it's expensive which one is it it's either good and you should buy it or
it's first-gen and it's expensive and you probably shouldn't buy it you should
probably wait a little while so it's it seemed to me it's a big it's a big
problem let's go ahead and move on to our next topic though not that I'm
giving into pressure Netflix can now ban VPN users with updated terms and
conditions you didn't even know this yet did you know yep so there you go it
turns out that just like other competing services that have gotten more serious
about blocking international users from using the US service so annoying
Netflix is cracking down on I mean there's like half the stuff on the
Canadian Netflix I know like actually this way but Canadian Netflix sucks yeah
it does but the reason that Netflix has to do this and I know you know I'm not
I'm telling you because you're my co-host not because I think you don't
know not that we shouldn't cover it again I'd be only reason why I said I
know is because we've covered this I know for five times but it's because
Netflix has to protect their ability to even negotiate content deals with the IP
owners and the thing is even if it's the same movie listen you go across borders
there's different people controlling it that's right and there's different
there's different agreements in place like for example let's say movie X okay
maybe in America it's on Netflix maybe in Canada it hasn't made it that far
down the price chain yet and it's still being shown on cable TV for example so
that is why they actually have to enforce it because if they don't enforce
it they're gonna lose the content relationships that they have in the
territories where they're strong like the u.s. now for me personally I see a
future where this digital distribution is just worldwide and everyone can
either suck it or well that's basically the only option the thing is but they're
gonna run into the problem again of it's it's not easy enough so people are just
gonna start pirating well no that's exactly it it has to be easy and it has
to be global but the problem is that the easy solution came along so Netflix to
me is kind of like the steam of movies and TV shows yeah and then all the other
guys are gonna kind of look at it and we're seeing this already with services
like Hulu all the other guys are gonna look at it and go oh holy crap that's
really profitable maybe we should actually develop that business model and
so much like we're seeing with origin and you play we're gonna see
fragmentation to the point where instead of one service like Netflix you're gonna
just have a Netflix and Hulu and Bulu and setflix and whatever all the
different things end up being called and once it's actually managed by the owner
of the property then they can wait for whatever global deals are in place now
to gradually expire and they can roll it out worldwide because ultimately that's
gonna earn them more profit anyway yeah and that's the only thing that's gonna
motivate any of this is looking at how successful Netflix has been and how they
can cut middlemen out of the equation and that's an excellent way to do it
like how HBO what is it HBO go or it's HBO something else I think it's now now
HBO now sure I think they're two different I think they're both two
different things but yeah HBO isn't necessarily gonna want to push all this
stuff to Netflix so they can have their own service got people calling for sex
flicks and Bulu yeah yeah cuz you said set flicks oh I said set flicks whatever I
guess it's kind of quiet yeah I'm trying to be quiet but I'm ending up getting
louder and louder I know I'm like an embarrassing person to be around you are
much like Taron bringing water through security to two times yeah both both
times we went through security yeah that guy is such a caveman it's just like you
put him in any civilized we were in the terminal to go to the plane and he got
like the the lady that was serving us food to fill up his ball with water I'm
like you're gonna just forget and then he just forgot and I was like damn dude
you didn't even take a drink from it at all it's completely like we were boarding
in like half an hour I love that guy he's fantastic dinner tonight was
hilarious like there was okay I think probably the funniest part of it was
this is like a we actually Omron treated us to about the ballerist dinner I think
I can see behind us this place is pretty nice yeah this place is incredible we
had dinner here at the restaurant in the hotel and we had our own chef who sat in
a little room yeah next to the room where we ate and prepared the food as it
was brought out it was how many courses eleven eleven courses we had two
dedicated servers you know in addition to the dedicated chef and all the food
was like crazy yeah but I I laughed internally when one of our hosts told me
that it was not gonna have any seafood because the second I lifted the like
they have these paper covers over your over your setting the second I lifted it
up there was a roll yeah it's sashimi wrapped around it yeah it's like okay
because I don't I don't eat seafood so throughout the course of the meal how
much seafood was there not a ton but there was well there was the prawn
tempura yeah there was the sashimi thing there was there was more see if there
was turtle or something yeah they wouldn't tell me what it was till I ate
it yeah there wasn't much of it I was kind of sketch about that yeah a lot of
it either what else was there there was there was little bits here there I would
count raw chicken as kind of more hardcore okay it's not okay it's not
some of the stuff was like amazing though like I really love these they
have these bizarro not really candles but like those are cool some kind of
fuel that basically what what they do you lighted the whole thing torches
instead of just like yeah and then there's a metal bowl above it and it's
basically like pre calibrated so that you get the right stick under it and
then the right amount of water and the right amount of food and once the flame
dies the food is cooked I was like that's amazing so they had like these
soups these broths that your meat would sit and cook in while you ate other
things and then once the flame died you knew it was ready to eat and so there
was the the steak was amazing oh the the beef like the tender beef in the in the
broth was amazing yeah yeah it was it was pretty awesome I Linus was too
sketched out to finish his raw chicken because that is pretty sketchy that was
a stroke of brilliance I'll let you talk about your brilliance so we had like the
hot pot thing that he's just talking about when there was the the beef and a
few other things and it was like a small it was 11 freaking courses and there was
hot pot so it wasn't like the most giant hot pot thing ever but I took Linus's
raw beef which he had ditched on to Edsel and Edsel no raw chicken raw
chicken sorry yeah which he had ditched on to Edsel and then Edsel had in turn
ditched it on to me and I cooked it in the hot pot stroke of genius it was it
was a lot better I wasn't into the raw chicken the taste was fine because like
the outside was the outside was kind of like cooked dish like it was like it was
like I think they like dropped it and then immediately flipped it in a pan
that was on low maybe a little more than blue steak slightly yeah but it was not
but it was not like it was not cooked and what they said was that at very
high-end restaurants in Japan it's okay to eat there's other there's other stuff
like that too like the puffer fish you like the puffer fish and like die from
if it's cooked yeah oh wait is that illegal now I'm not sure I think it
might be I don't know but yeah crazy stuff yeah anyway so they claim that
it's okay so I did eat a piece but the texture for me was just abominable like
I could not eat it I just I just about a hort all over all the table and made a
total mess of everything because that texture like I don't eat raw fish either
so yeah all right let's go ahead and move on to our next topic yeah boom LG
may have accidentally leaked an upcoming 8k iMac dah dah dah more K's mmm
personally I don't see it as incredibly unlikely no 8k would be what I'm a
little over double the pixels of 5k maybe maybe quite a bit more than that
actually whatever I haven't done the math right now I don't know the math is
not happening at the moment I'm sure someone will correct us in congratulations
for using a calculator but anyway I don't see why they couldn't do it they
already created a custom interface for the 5k iMac so they've shown that
they're willing to do that so just taking that modified DisplayPort and
going even wider does nothing but add design complexity and product cost
something Apple has shown in the past that they're willing to do because they
have an unlimited R&D budget and they have great margins so if they spend it
because a lot of a lot of companies if they spend another three dollars on it
it like breaks their margins on that product whereas Apple if they spend
another three dollars on it they'll charge you another hundred and
everything's fine everyone's happy so Apple has confirmed nothing about this
but I I guess that's cool I'm personally not that super stoked on
high-res displays past a point I think that moving to 4k is probably about as
far as I'll need to go at any size lower than about 32 inches for I hear you and
I know your arguments a long time but you haven't seen an 8k screen I haven't
seen an 8k screen but what I have seen is a 5k screen from this close what I've
also seen is the evolution of 1080p smartphones to 1440p smartphones and how
little that mattered I know I'm just saying so while it could be marginally
better looking at how one thing that Apple did extremely poorly on the 5k i
Mac is they equipped it with a GPU that's just plain not adequate and I
even ordered the beefier version with the r9 295 X the 8 gig card versus the
r9 290 and these are mobile these are mm cards with 4 gigs of RAM and that thing
stuttered all over the place so I don't know what GPU they would put in an 8k i
Mac that would fit within the thermal envelope unless they're going back to
nvidia and they do that from time to time yeah they do just they can swap
that's fine they just do whatever they please got people asking for 1080 K I
guess we should probably do sponsor spots yeah so yeah the land show today
is brought to you by Linda calm Linda calm is the place to learn online it's
used by millions of people around the world with more than 3,000 courses
available you can learn things like web design or Excel yeah or video production
or WordPress I should probably take some Linda courses on video production then
when those guys talk it won't all just be completely over my head you know
probably still will be because I think they do it on purpose sometimes it's
that you'll just like go away I'm pretty sure cuz I'll ask about something or
I'll say something and I've caught them doing it to you before because one of
them was trying to make you think that it took like hours and hours to tween
something and flash I was like those butt heads anyway so photography visual
design business all kinds of stuff like that and all the courses are taught by
industry experts you can learn at your own pace and it's extremely affordable
at only 25 bucks a month to start but if you're not sure if Linda calm is right
for you to advance your career or you know make new friends when you talk
about cameras with people online okay that's a pretty unlikely scenario the
point is if you're not sure if you're gonna like it you can try it out for
free at whatever the link is you don't have the thing I don't I don't change
scenes very Linda calm slash land show I'm really bad at changing scenes right
there yes you are here he was telling me that apparently while I was gone he
straight up just didn't show you guys the article super long periods of time
actually no tired that actually made a help might have made a help but that
family did not I said meta meta so it's not doing we're not doing good you can
make a website even if you're super tired and can barely talk and say meta
because it's gross base is that easy because you can apparently use square
space yeah yeah simple powerful and beautiful they have 24-7 support via
live chat and they have templates that allow you to make sure that your
website's gonna work on a mobile phone on a laptop on a desktop or I mean
probably even unlike a jumbotron even like an AKI Mac you know what we should
do just to be like complete buttheads is we should like take go to a baseball
game and like pay them to put Linus community groups website on the jumbotron
yeah or something like we should find a way to find some completely stupid
display and put our put our corporate website on it and see if it scales okay
that'd be wonderful we should try it I'm actually I'm kind of I'm kind of tempted
to do that that would be pretty fun anyways it's only $8 a month and if you
get a year of it you're free domain which is pretty cool just like a sort of
$13 value or so yeah so if you go to squarespace.com and use offer code Linus
you can save 10% so you can get a free domain and save 10% and get a year
squarespace you know what we should totally do is we should turn offer codes
into like a popularity contest so they should use like offer code Linus if they
if they if they like me better and they should use offer code Luke we should
actually have two offer codes well that would be I'd be I would be really
interested if we could get some stats from like Squarespace if they're like
yeah 30% of the people signed up with Linus and 70% of them went with Luke or
we should have like we should have like I like LMG in general but I hate both
Luke and Linus we should have like a third option wonderful because knowing
like knowing our guys they'd all pick that one squarespace.com slash haterade
and then and then there'd have to be one more that was just squarespace.com slash
bananas so we can get like most of the votes anyways great so last one is Fresh
Books this is actually a relatively new sponsor for us in general we've had them
on fast as possible yeah but I think we've only had them on the WAN show once
so basically it's a tool for small business owners if you say for example
you're like an online tool so not a hammer necessarily unless you had an
online hammer yeah like a ban unless you saved money using Fresh Books because
you're able to properly invoice people and get that and track that invoice and
then you're able to buy a hammer with the time you saved or money you made
money okay anyway the point is if you're a small business owner like let's say
for example you're a plumber you can use their you can use your phone to go ahead
and do things like log miles and log hours so you can send out invoices
easily to your clients it's all easily payable by credit card for your clients
so it makes life a little bit easier for them and let me tell you as a small
business owner half of the battle getting a client to pay is making it
easy for them like if you want to do the you know wire transfer check dance to
you know save six dollars in bank fees here or 20 bucks in transfer fees there
or you know in the case of my wife you know a buck 25 for a check yeah we all
have to drive to deposit our checks cost more than that I think we've all
collectively offered to like have it deducted from our paychecks I think
legally we can't do that yep so she won't live with it
anyway the board the point is if you if you check out freshbooks.com slash when
show you guys can try it out it's extremely affordable and it helps you
manage both your time and your business better so give it a shot and save your
money and buy a hammer save your money save your time and all of that good
stuff buy a hammer yeah are we allowed to just say buy a hammer with the money
you saved yeah I guess so we can give advice it doesn't have to be good advice
hammers are legitimately useful tools I wonder how many let's do a straw poll
how many of you own it how many hammers do you own oh not how many of you own a
hammer yeah I want to know how many I'm gonna answer this possible but I'm gonna
wait till people answer do uh I will have to think because it depends on how
you classify it is a sledgehammer a hammer yeah okay it's a rubber mallet a
hammer it's a mallet a subsection of a hammer well I was defined I just don't
know off the top of my head a meat tenderizer I think would be a mallet but
not a hammer okay so then no so then no okay is a hatch of the hammer because
you can use the back because you can use it as a hammer I don't think so but it
doesn't remove nails in the way that a hammer would I could use like my foot as
a hammer but my foot is not a hammer you can't use your foot as a hammer that's
good no you could that's stupid I have I've used my palm as a hammer there's a
door in my place and the the doorknob is so loose that the not bolt but the other
thing that I can't think of right now because I'm tired will slide out and I
have to get it back in so that I can actually close the door so I just hammer
it with my palm okay well I thought I think
I'll confirm Skylake launch oh yeah that's pretty important I think we knew
this wasn't gonna be a very good sleep deprived in the middle of nowhere this
sounds like a horrible teen movie sleep deprived and in the middle of nowhere I
decide to go off the trail into the cabin in the woods and there's a koi
pond and it's quite wonderful actually but there's a murderer and they get
picked off one by one yeah and like there's a chick with boobs and for some
reason she's in the shower when every time someone attacks and then when she's
running away she could have actually totally gotten away but she tripped
right yeah yeah which gave a really good opportunity for like a slow-mo of her
tripping you know what would be like a really cool like you couldn't do it with
a movie like if you have something pre-recorded but like a really cool
like interactive storytelling concept whether it was done with with live
actors or whether it was done with like episodic gameplay okay is like what so
the concept would be that the audience because you know how you always regret
not being able to give advice to the actors please don't please don't open
that door you know please don't come out of the safe room you're in the you're in
the safe room don't come out of the safe room just stay in there what are they
gonna do to you in the safe room that they can't do to you when you come out
of the safe room it was obvious right so what if there was like a concept where
you could actually like everyone in the audience had like a tablet or something
so it's like twitch plays Pokemon but with actors yeah so you can actually
dictate the terms of the story and they could have some preset branches but it
could actually play out a little bit different every night so it's like
twitch plays Pokemon but with actors or like Dungeons & Dragons but not it's
drag it's kind of like choose your own adventure yeah so you know what the
decision is but you actually don't know what's gonna happen until until it
happens so I think that would be a lot of fun like as a play concept and then
again as like as like an episodic gaming concept so the developer might not this
tells no games multiplayer edition hold on a second this could be cool so the
game developer wouldn't necessarily just develop one path but they could justify
the expense of developing multiple paths by making it a micro transaction for
you to try paths that you didn't choose that is a business model because it's
really good I don't know that's a really good idea it's really expensive you
don't have to pay every path yeah but then they're gonna make you pay for any
path well you buy the game or okay you make it free to play and you can play
one path for free oh I play the game once and I do it my way I mean it
couldn't be quite like choose your own adventure because I don't know if you
read many of those but basically there was only one right path usually and then
like every other path was like instant your head got cut off and alligators at
you like it was just left or right right you trip you die yeah pretty much
whereas like I would you should have a guaranteed number of decisions so you
should be guaranteed a certain number of forks and then I mean obviously they
can't develop you know three hundred and fifty thousand forks so if there was
something extremely unpopular they do some sort of generating tool yeah like
this didn't work you know not enough people chose this can you pick another
one or whatever else the case may be but I think that would be really cool and
remember this is something that wouldn't have to happen over the course of a
normal sort of game timeframe it would be more like an episodic thing so it
could actually happen over the course of a couple of years more a few years much
like a like a TV show might take a long time for the story to develop so gamers
could actually play their way through the story in real time and then maybe at
the very end or something you have the option to you know buy an additional
playthrough and you can play it completely differently or something like
that yeah that's interesting rumor xfx r9 390 pictures I'm just gonna
randomly see the titles of things and then we can go back to it going on
tangents um right I guess I kind of hijacked are you completely ditching the
live actor idea then and just going with video game no I I like the live actor
idea better it just seems a little bit harder to execute a little bit less
likely yep there's really good improv actors like really really good improv
actors and you could just throw curveballs I'm sure has anyone done this
before it seems like the kind of I feel like it's an improv thing but it would
like probably not to the same degree right yeah what you're talking about
like they'd have to have you know in universities where there's that like oh
well you have to input your answer to the question that's yeah and you use the
little white clicker yeah it would basically be like that yeah so there
would be options so the actors would have some idea what's coming but you
know what the the director or the writer or they could not shake it up a bit if
they're if they're proper improv actors they can build the reactor really well
but the thing about straight improv is that it doesn't have the production
values no of a proper play no whereas what I kind of envision is a proper play
where you dictate how it goes well okay I think that'd be really cool like
imagine like a murder mystery type play like they already do murder mystery type
stuff where like the audience has some interaction but imagine one where like
the murderer can kill everyone and get away with it because the audience chose
all the wrong things for the actors stay in the safe room and then he just like
closes off the air or something like that right yeah like that'd be really
cool yeah I think that'd be really fun to watch so this is like super rumor
because WCCF tech has actually updated the article in a very very deceptive way
so they didn't actually manage to change their headline all they did was add a
note in the body of the of the article so you have to actually read it in order
to know that that's an r9 380 which actually says absolutely nothing about
new GPU development for AMD graphics cards because the rumor on the street
right now is that the r9 380 is just an r9 290 which means this is just a
rebadged r9 290 yes so the R&D that went into it was probably an updated BIOS and
a new sticker design so yeah oh right skylake yep oh we got it we got to close
this off pretty soon because we really need to sleep at least a couple hours we
have eight minutes we have eight minutes all right well then let's talk let's do
you restarted that was pretty interesting what's right LHC oh yeah so
in the for the first time in two years the Large Hadron Collider has been fired
up there was a Windows update yep no no collisions but things are moving so
that's cool there wasn't there wasn't a Windows update what are you talking
about two years oh you're rude Intel confirms skylake launch it's coming in
the second half of this year so that means we're not gonna get it at
computex which is a little bit I was kind of hoping for skylake at
computex I mean the thing that you guys need to know about skylake though is
that it's not gonna be like a you know benchmark crusher like you know
something like Conroe was for example it's gonna be an incremental
improvement it's not DDR4 on the mainstream yet so it's gonna use DDR3
and DDR3 L it's gonna have 20 PCIe Gen 3 lanes just like the existing Haswell E
it's gonna have USB 3 one thing that I do expect to see with skylake is
support for PCI Express based SSDs so NVMe right now there are very few
motherboards that support Intel 750 series SSD that was launched recently we
actually have a video coming on it there's very few that support the two
and a half inch one the two and a half inch one the PCIe one that plugs into a
PCIe slot is fine very widely supported so I guess that's about all there is to
say about that we really appreciate you guys tuning in at this totally unusual
time for the land show we were planning to stream the land show at the normal
time but we had an opportunity to take an earlier flight back back to Tokyo so
we could hang out in Tokyo for the day instead of just seeing the airport so
that sounded like a really good idea kind of figured we'd go to Tokyo for the
day yeah since we flew all the way here yeah so I think that's pretty much it
guys I'm gonna go sleep for an eight hours yeah I'm gonna go hit the can
because I still got a mad case of the travelers that would a stomach thing
going on oh and like eating things that make me feel kind of gross doesn't help
no no not helpful I'm probably gonna hit my head on a few things and then fall
over oh my gosh it's hilarious his six-foot threeness is so out of place
here like like the I have told her I have a few taller friends that would
just be ruined here in the doorways in our rooms here which are awesome by the
way they're incredible in the doorways of our room like it's probably like to
hear like he's like this to get through I I was crushing down picking something
up and I like stood up and turned and what to my head on one so bad I've hit
my head quite a few times when we've been here but that one was that one
her Taryn had a pretty good one too yes all right good night you guys and we'll
see you again next week we have to we have to wait for it hold up this is
gonna be a little janky but I almost always do that too yeah it's cool oh I
never checked out the straw poll results
Wow yeah for 40 43 percent of our audience owns four or more hammers what
I do believe in is linda.com slash wancho also squarespace.com offer code
Linus also freshbooks.com slash wancho slash wan not slash wancho also in the
who sent us your thing put when okay good night everyone
