waiting for the beer disclaimer okay we'll get there so this is a tech news show that Paul and I do every single Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Pacific time right here on twitch.tv slash awesome hardware we also streamed to our respective YouTube channels in two halves today we are streaming to my channel first and then in about half an hour so we'll switch over to Paul's channel youtube.com slash Paul's hardware we also like to occasionally have a good drink or two on the show so if you happen to be a legal drinking age wherever you live you're welcome to join us or you can just you know drink Shirley Temple hey there it is and my anxiety levels have skyrocketed they've the plummeting now skyrocketed for a moment - now they're much better a very is very climactic and then a very very quick

inspired by our friends at the verge was full and complete with with hand and screw driver shouldn't be so straight up about that they'll try to get like can you get a strike from yeah shirt couple your copyright check my wardrobe back it's available in two colors go ahead and check them out I like them they're super comfy Paul also has his brand new captive thumbscrew shirt indeed which is a still still for sales is whenever they oh yeah so this is what it looks like a person as always our friend John does really good printing work yeah super clean my my shirts from him have have been through the wash like dozens and dozens of times I don't know if we've mentioned in a while but I I'm gonna bring it back up right now the dye that's used in our shirts is really cool because it sets into the fabric if you've ever had a shirt like this and thought I like the design but whenever I get a shirt like that it's like a it's like a not a reasonable part across the front of me and I get sweaty or whatever like that feels puffy that's not how these shirts work it sets in and it breathes just like the fabric this is incredibly cool anyone who's bought like I've never gotten bad

those out guys it really helps us a lot and let's move on to our first segment here which is tech news we're gonna dive right in here and no cell processing today he's busy doing stuff for his family so sorry he couldn't be here but wifey sauce I believe I mission may be said too much it's that too much up saying who are you who are you modding for blue cells cover the wife is Austin is Chad thank you wifey fur for being here she's also gonna be pasting comments in the chat nice so thank you thank you alright let's move on to our first article here from Tom's Hardware about AMD celebrating their 50th year anniversary which is crazy they've been around for that long and they're celebrating it with some hardware patek potentially a special edition Rison 720 700 X which has been leaked this is gonna coincide potentially with their May 1st anniversary date although it's speculated that these chips will actually launch a day early on April 30th 50 years 50 years worth then they weren't even AMD back then they were ATI right were they anything before ATI really did they started as a 50 years ago would have been 19 so you were be never born 50 years ago was in 1969 I didn't even think of that no I was not born not born at that time thank you very much well you jerk it's not what I heard Oh 1969 now I'm kind of 1969 like they bought ATI but I don't think I think it's the AMD root core company that I got it I'd have to look back at their history or something like that yeah but alright okay sure I'll take their word for it so we don't know exactly what's gonna be special about this 2700 X people are speculating that Oh low disk space I'm running out of love disco Thank You Windows laptop struggles the fans always ramping up when it's idling we got Chrome open maybe that's why I got Chrome but it's listed for pre-order at 340 US dollars which is a bit of a premium $45 over its $295 price point for the regular standard edition but we could potentially be looking at commemorative packaging that if you're a collector that sort of sticks out to you engraving that'd be kind of cool if it was a custom engraved CPU AMD is known to do that we got some custom engraved CPUs a thread ripper chips yeah I'm not too long ago it also might include sort of a fancy certificate saying that this was you know personally I don't know personally magnified blast personally inspected by Lisa sook herself with the fancy signature or something like that I think it's up there but oh you're a lot of us youtubers got special engraved it's better for chips was it for the first gen or second just second check yeah that wasn't series yeah and then great with our channel logos that's enough I didn't give them my vector image for my logo and time so that's Paul's hardware I mean I'm still happy it's your name is still on it better percent it wasn't quite as cool as that was my bad they asked for it and I didn't follow up in time yeah so neither here nor there like what else so that's a decent premium they're tired of 40 bucks 45 dollars over what you pay right now for 2,700 X yes and 2,700 X so we're hoping it's something more than just the packaging and you know RGB CPU be pretty cool I'm guessing Bend maybe maybe they're there they're running at higher clock speeds out of the box I mean cool or they can at least you know be overclocked to higher clock speeds that would be nice as well but who's to shit who's to shake who's to Shea as they shake according to chat by the way AMD has always been AMD you know they've got the headquarters up in Canada okay all I mean it's not that's all I'm saying but but 80 I was probably the one that was in 1969 it started in nineteen no no no atia was a newer company and ii bought AMD body TI oh okay that's where the guys video gotcha that was back in okay so a.m. dozen seven Oh someone in chat says Vicki I 80 I was nineteen eighty five 85 was 80 I am D was founded May 1st 1969 ATI Tech was 1985 thank you nuked Athlon man when we do without you chat yeah you're very helpful so if you guys aren't interested in any 50th year anniversary rise in CPUs maybe you're interested in an AMD 50th year anniversary motherboard hey like the one that's coming from gigabytes known as the x4 70 horas gaming seven Wi-Fi 50 aptly named it's gonna feature some some cool nifty features like a swappable overlay next to the 24 pin connector i believe it that's the LED portion this yeah I think that's swappable you cannot print you can 3d print your own that's cool but it's not new it's not new they know they've done more yeah that's true so I don't see anything quite as unique about this board as I've seen with or speculating on the 2700 X if if it does come with higher clock speeds it's been it does look like it has good heat sinks on the power delivery at least like the real heat sinks like actually fins down put your fins and everything not just yeah all right so that's kind of cool it's gonna have a 10 plus 2 face power delivery so 10 power faces that feed up to 40 amps to the CPU and then the SOC or memory controller is gonna get to power phases rated for 50 amps so that sounds pretty nifty as well a bunch of other features on here none of which are particularly unique you know you've got a couple n dot two slots on there plenty of SATA 3 and USB as well 2 USB 3.0 headers down there it looks like so it also it is gonna support ddr4 memory as well as ECC ddr4 so that's kind of its kind of interesting if you wanted to maybe get some more reliable memory in there but um yeah I'd like to see you USB 3.1 connector oh there isn't one is there oh sorry right there yeah nevermind guys it's got it it's blending its camouflage nice feature set on the board at least it is their pricing ya know price or availability we're speculating availability to to be around May 1st perhaps a day early and then finally the 50th year GPU this is also from Tom's Hardware there they're showing up a Nitro+ Radeon rx 598 gigabyte AMD 50th anniversary edition in case you just wanted to own the GPU with the longest possible name ever it's gold hey that gold medalist yeah it looks kind of yellow I would have never known it was gold unless I read the article seems way more yellow to me yeah I don't know if they just blasted out the picture or something like even the box looks yellow I was like ooh it really depends on the gold execution it should be a bit more bronze I think it - neon but it could just be the render I'm not sure so it's supposed to be gold allegedly dual 95 millimeter fans this is pretty much the same styling as the existing Radeon rx 590 Nitro+ special edition special color it's gonna have a stylish custom backplate providing rigidity and passive cooling it's gonna be packing the same specs exactly as the non 50-year anniversary edition of this card but the exact same 1500 and 60 megahertz booze clock so this seems to be more of an aesthetic sell than anything there's a backplate - there's no that's yellow that's right you can see because the in the picture the connectors those are all fully gold right gold has a little bit of orange status the color of gold hinge for white literally yeah in this picture and then you have yellow next to it so yeah it's either a really bad render or they just don't know what the color gold is okay and they're calling yellow gold I'm okay with it being yellow just just call it yellow say it say it like it is so that's that it's probably the least exciting of the 50th year anniversary products but you guys let us know what you think next up we have an article from WCC F Tech also about AMD this time in a very different vein it's about their SOC that's expected to power the next gen Xbox and Playstation Gonzalo is the code name for the SOC and very famous person Epis AK was first a spot the AMD gonzalo SOC it's thought to be the chipset that's gonna power the next gen consoles that was earlier this year he speculated that it was going to be powered by AMD Xen and Navi tech featuring eight cores with a base clock of 1.6 and a boost clock of 3.2 gigahertz now at the SAC has found a new entry of the SOC and the 3d mark database of course someone keeps forgetting to unplug that Ethernet cable the Z at the beginning of the code name indicates that this is a qualification sample meaning that we're a lot closer to the production stage than we initially thought meaning that we could possibly see next gen consoles arrive later this year potentially for a fall release although the article speculates there they're betting on 2020 as that year especially because Sony will not be at e3 this year it's the first time in the conventions history that Sony won't have a presence which ha can only mean that the consoles are definitely not launching this year in my opinion they would totally be there if it was or just or and I say this based on absolutely nothing it'll watch with just an idea that popped into my head yeah maybe they're gonna do like an Nvidia has done or those mobile companies and others but like they don't want to announce it at a big event that lots of other announcements are happening any happening at so they backed out of that one so they could put all the resources into a special Sony only event that they're gonna have where they will do these no one to steal their thunder yeah I've seen that happen before yeah like I said I have no basis for that but it's a it's a maybe we all know you know we all know the connections you have it Sony a big top stranger huge PlayStation connections that I have this PlayStation launches all the time you're playing with so there's a French website is your video which rumors that there will be two Microsoft consoles to be announced at this year's e3 a cheap diskless model that'll be all digital very much like the Xbox one digital that's launching like this week or something like that that's gonna be less powerful and then of course there's gonna be the the full-fat if you will console with with all the beefy juicy bits and install the inside of it so that's gonna be a bit more you know 4k heavy and have some fuller features I would imagine so I guess keep your ear to the ground about that if you care at all about those things let's move on to our next article here this is about this this is sort of in relation to the title of my half of this episode which is YouTube sucks and I I think this article illustrates it well there's a youtuber known as modern vintage gamer he has about a hundred and eighty thousand subscribers so a pretty substantial size you know it's not massive but definitely you could build a livelihood on on that especially if you got the view counts there and he recently announced that Nintendo was flagging several of his videos about emulating old games on the switch so these are these were four videos that were all flagged and strike down within a week and they all happen to be switch homebrew videos so they're all talking about emulated games running on your Nintendo switch which is still a very current and popular and relevant console and so mister MVG modern vintage gamer known as Demetrius Jia nachus says that they were all flagged and that he believes that they they were used in fair use that his videos fall under fair use and that the reason Nintendo gave for striking these videos was that was for the inclusion of small amounts of gameplay footage from games like Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past so according to Nintendo they weren't even striking him for emulation they were striking him for Content ID essentially just showing images and footage of their games like Nintendo has been very well known to do from my understanding they had pulled back on that because we've talked yeah here's you asked about Nintendo being very candid draconian about people streaming Nintendo games I thought they had realized that was a bad idea and sort of pulled back from that but if they are now using that same excuse of streaming what they claimed to be their copyrighted content for something else which is obviously like you know if you're showing people how to use an emulator or something how to get Nintendo games and play them without paying for them then you could see why they wouldn't want that to be out there sure whether or not it's legitimate for people to do that with their own hardware right for games that they already own yeah I would say yes they should be able to do that yes and that's actually what I'm saying he's using them Tendo hardware too he's emulating them on the switch that's not what I'm saying hey get your PC and do this they're still they would still need a Nintendo hardware to do it yeah he's still advertising Nintendo ecosystem at the end of the day and he does state that he owns physical copies legal physical physical copies of all the games he emulates in these videos so even if that was the real cause of why Nintendo striking him it would be it just doesn't seem valid and so this poor guy tried to refute all of these claims and he was unsex unsuccessful on all four so I don't know how many likes if that counts is just one big strike against his channel or if that's multiple strikes obviously it can't be three because then you're you're subject to actual termination of your entire channel but it's I was hoping for a happier ending when I started reading the article but it's kind of sad it just says that he you know while he's received some good advice about how to mitigate future potential copyright claims unfortunately the threat is always there and it's just not worth the trouble and so he's decided that he'll no longer make videos about the switch until it becomes a legacy platform so he's actually changing the style of his content based on these I don't know seemingly false allegations that he's you know threat a threat to to Nintendo's livelihood if anything it's the other way around they're a threat to his and and YouTube doesn't really seem to be doing anything to support this creator on their platform so it's it's kind of unfortunate it definitely echoes to you know how I was dealing what I was dealing with with the verge when they copy strike the Lisle video and it's uh it's it's never fun to see your fellow youtubers get hit with this sort of thing from huge corporations and to not have the platform that they've built their business on not back them up it's a it's definitely a sight to see so on to further terrible news about YouTube oh good because why stop there it's like it's a mini segment here yeah so this is an article from VentureBeat and there's a developer I forget the name here it's in the article but they've developed a tycoon game about developing viola monarch Ismail monarch thank you Paul about developing a legal business where you grow breed and sell marry J or a good old-fashioned marijuana and Google is classifying cheeba cheeba cheeba cheeba grass yeah Devils The Devil's cabbage Devils Satan's bush so anyway Google is classifying Let's Plays of the game as not suitable for advertisers and they're basically de monetizing anyone who's making Let's Plays or gameplay videos of this game and if you look at the game it's a tycoon game it's like 2d mostly 2d and it's very like animated and there's nothing like like the content seems so innocuous it's really just like any Tycoon game but replace variable X with weed and and you have a game and yet they're you know they're striking these people noun de monetizing their content which is really a two-fold its it's hitting content creators who do Let's Plays regularly and it's also hurting the developers because now no streamers or no gamers want to play this game if they're not gonna be able to make a living off of it or make some money off of it so it's you know it goes on to say the developer had no idea that it would be this difficult to push this game because of just how harmless the content is especially since marijuana is now it's increasingly becoming legalized in more and more US states but there's still that whole tricky element to it being federally illegal schedule ones what's that schedule one schedule one so right there with your heroine and your cocaine exactly and yet and yet you can purchase it like it's you know milk at the grocery store here in California and many other states now they just hand it out here they get a street without somebody the supreme weed resamples force feeding us and we're also enlightened but it's like in California accurate so so anyway it's also interesting in somewhat hypocritical that in YouTube's own Terms of Service and their policy it says videos discussing drugs or dangerous substances for educational documentary and artistic purposes are generally suitable for advertising so long as drug use or substance abuse is not graphic or glorified and in nowhere in the game is show does it show like people there's no marijuana glorification it's really just you're running a business and you're you know you see your numbers go up at in the more weed that you breed and sell there's no one using so absolutely so Singh we've in the video so that was the devil's advocate here you could say well they're showing how how profitable it is to grow and sell marijuana so obviously you know that's why it's a objectionable or whatever I have a suggestion though for vile monarch the developer of weed craft or perhaps devolver digital its publisher if any of you guys are listening reskin this game and call it opiate craft yeah just sell opiates right you know like your like your oxy or whatever you're just theoretically illegal if you have the right licensing and stuff here in the United States but is much more of a a problem in my opinion a much more massive problem right now yeah and see if see if it gets through then I don't know I mean just to see what the power dynamics are when it comes to youtube do monetization of subjects like that right just to sort of see where you know on what site at Falls that's that's my it's so twisted and ass-backwards because if you did make it about opiates I mean even the government knows that weed is safe excuse me safer than opiates otherwise it would have legalized oxycontin and or substances like vicodin without needing a prescription just for recreational use like it has with marijuana at least in some states you would think but even the government knows that's that's a terrible idea because opiates are way more addicting than any kind of strain of marijuana and yet that's that's a great suggestion that Paul just made to skin it with some seemingly my way more dangerous drug and suddenly it's way more legal the system is so fucked up but one that companies like like are not company oh that's the company the family is the Sackler z-- the company is weed company the company that makes oxycontin oh oh I don't know a bunch of stuff coming up about them anyway the families of Sackler is that's the company called Walmart that's gonna help me out I'm sure chip Purdue Purdue Pharma shoes okay yeah yeah everything they're doing is super legal oh yeah oh yeah they're just they've found a way to skirt the system Thank You Chet everyone in chat chats wonderful I love you guys I also I also wonder like and this was just a thought this wasn't in the article but how many like music videos have I seen on YouTube on like you know massive channels that just feature this the obligatory or just like the explicit use of marijuana or even like crazier drugs I've seen in music videos that have millions and millions of views no problem and these are real people smoking real drugs and this is a this is a bunch of pixels that people are interacting with like I just it makes me think that some advertiser caught wind that their ads were playing on this game and they just threw a shit but see your example there you're talking about like a band or a music group or something like that who is picked up by like a big label as well as like a distribution company right with lots of money and of course lawyers yeah who can go to court and be like no this was this was creative use of the drug abuse and everything like that but but youtubers don't have access to that so yeah these are unique small indie developers there were small indie developers yes yeah so kind of exposes this this is a good point this in sort of an unfair way that you're treated depending on whether you have the backing of right a company with a bunch of lawyers yep or not I guess illegal all right so yeah YouTube sucks let's all forget about those last two stories they were dropping a bunch of frames all of a sudden okay I'm just kidding oh they're watching hey at least they watch your shit so this is an article from an antic don't worry game support now we're moving on to oh one last plug of this quick article from an aunt oh never mind we're not game support it I promise it'll be quick so sharp demonstrated off their demonstrated their 8k 120 Hertz monitor so all your all you monitor fanatics and can cock on that its HD are actual like good H you are I think it's probably like HDR thousand or something like that 76 80 by 4320 resolution with a 120 Hertz native refresh rate with a IGZO tech display and Sharpe is evaluating they're strongly considering it seems like they're leaning towards releasing this LCD to the community or commercially click here to make image smaller okay why would you love that feature so I mean there's really not much to say here other than we could be looking at a potential 8k 120 Hertz option from sharp in the near future no no word on pricing or availability again they're not even decided yet that they're gonna release it it may very well require up to four DisplayPort 1.4 cables just get the full native resolution going because of how much bandwidth that requires which is probably not gonna sell well to you know your n your average end-user but for professional use and power users I'm sure they're not gonna have a problem it's it's a K they're there make it work do you remember this sort of awkward in-between time when 4k panels are first starting to come out but weren't natively supported by a DisplayPort 1.4 and stuff like that where you needed to yeah and there were these weird panels that were they look like one panel but it's actually two panels and you need two cables to plug in and it works most of the time but it's kind of quirky and has you know things you need to do to filtrate and get the drivers right and everything yeah that's what that is but that's what happens when the the pixel an LCD tech advances faster than the cable tech I will say I'm impressed that they're coming straight out with a hundred twenty Hertz though usually you see the resolution like Oh 8k or whatever like super high resolution and refresh rate tank it it's it's nice that they're pairing it up with that high refresh rate cuz yeah 60 Hertz is difficult to game on once you've once you've become accustomed to higher refresh rates than that right to say nothing of 30 years but yeah and if you're gonna spend that much on one speck chances are you're gonna want the other specs of that product to match it you know and to be it's be substantial for a while so let's move on to games report that's all for straight tech news for today but we've got some interesting stories here this is an article from PC gamer about EA's promised to of no loot boxes and Jedi fallen order what you would think people would rant and rave about and praise you thank you EA for this announcement but it has backfired so there was a tweet from EA Star Wars official account about the game it said no micro transactions no loot boxes and no we won't be adding them a single-player Star Wars story for those of you who are ready to become a Jedi you would think it'd be met with applause but no it backfired like a freaking bombshell and it basically reminded everyone gave it a flashback to battle from Battlefront 2 and what a disaster that was with all the micro transactions and loot boxes I don't need to explain it but basically what it what it seemed like EA was doing is they were they were they were showing you that this game lacks any of the flaws that a game shouldn't have in the first place and yet they were advertising it as a selling point look at how great this game is it's not broken it's not terrible yeah well that's the bare minimum of what we were what we would expect so fans were outraged and arguably so I think they had a right to be fallen order has you know as the article states this game has enough hype to carry itself it's story driven it's single-player which I think a lot of people have been wanting in a Star Wars game for a while and it has lightsaber combat they brought that back which is quite tantalizing at least in my opinion so EA is just you know even though they had good intentions with this announcement it kind of blew up in their faces whether or not that's gonna actually impact sales I think eventually it'll blow over but it just definitely goes to show how detached some developers or publishers can be from the community and I don't know they need to do a rehiring process or something for their social media because it's it ain't good it ain't a good luck EA so you guys let us know I'm not crying I'm not crying chat I'm just I'm just I'm just saying I'm trying to feel what the community feels and I can I can empathize it's it's interesting cuz I I kind of caught a little bit of this when it was first coming out and I thought what you were gonna say was there was months that I had heard from people but it was actually different so the the negative feedback that you're talking about is people saying like oh thanks he thanks EA this game doesn't come with a punch in the dick when I buy it like that's that's great you know thanks for leaving that out yeah what I heard about it was like that they would it so what did what was their actual statement no microtransactions no loot boxes no we won't be adding them single-player Star Wars story there's a lot of things that they could monetize the game with that aren't micro transactions or loot boxes absolutely so a lot of people were saying are ITA we don't necessarily believe you with this because like how much is it gonna cost for skins or like these kind of things or the game itself like is there gonna be a bunch of episode I like part of the storyline that suddenly becomes like an expansion pack that should've been part of the original game but now you got a pantograph $29 for that or something like Zachary there's lots of other ways that EA could screw this up I guess right so well it is refreshing for them to come out and say this because it does show some awareness that people don't like these things and that there's really it's been really pervasive and annoying when it comes to especially a title like a Star Wars title like people are really really wanting a really good Star Wars game to get into sure but they could just be I go you say they could just be rescanning the same sins that they did yeah there's other ways that they could screw this up they're not promising not to do here right so you know well-well-well believed that EA is making an awesome Star Wars game when it launches and their reviews are good and all that good stuff I wish they could still do yeah I would love to live in a time where EA is like praised and looked upon as like a decent company yeah I want I want because it's better for the community but I also wouldn't put it past them if if they fall into the trap that Paul was just laying it I'd also love to see like an up-and-coming indeed up-and-coming indie developer suddenly get the Star Wars license with something to prove yeah and you know just do Billy I know the game that way you know something like that super cool all right so all right good vibes here let's move on to our next article from ours nikka about open AI bots crushing dota 2 champions and and just the sing what's up with that so open AI is a startup company and they've been developing this bot this smart learning bought over the years it's been playing millions it's already played millions of matches against itself learning waiting for its victims to approach it and demolish it so it actually went up against Oh G which is an eSports team that won the biggest competition in all of eSports last year which was the international so you have this elite award-winning eSports team going up against a bot essentially in dota 2 and it was just kind of a nice there's a cool little social experiment just to see how how far a AI is advanced especially in the realm of gaming and so they actually had to nerf some of the open a eyes abilities the the reaction time was are to artificially slowed to ensure that the game wasn't just a test to see you know who had the you know fastest reflexes and stuff but the results of the first game were that the bots came out ahead in a teamfight now bear in mind that the bots have so dota 2 has five players five on five and the the five players on the eSports team were five individual people but the bots had five individual programs I guess that weren't really communicating with each other like like the team was so they had that disadvantage but they're all programmed and have learned to think very similarly so it gives the illusion that they are working together as a team and feeding off of each other's reactions and being very responsive but it's actually kind of one of their downsides still during the first game the bots killed three human players while only losing one themselves and albeit to their credit the human team the eSports og team was actually able to hold out for like 30 40 maybe even 50 minutes in the round which is pretty good the second game however which was kind of like all right let's see if if this is a repeatable behavior the human team sad for for og they got crushed they actually got their asses handed to them in like the first 20 minutes or something and it says yeah though the bots can't communicate with each other all five computer-controlled players think in the same way if one thinks that it's a good opportunity to attack a human player the other four of them will think the same and will join the attack so it's kind of like a mob mentality AI style and so this this basically gives the appearance of a really good coordination in teamfights and it's sort of a coordination and a precision that human teams just can't really match right now the article does go on to say that the bot does seem beatable there are certain things there's an element in in the game called pulling that's referred to as pulling I'm not exactly sure what that means it's it's sort of like a technique you don't play dota 2 all the time I am NOT a dota 2 player but there's a there's certain human actions in the game that the bot does not understand or recognize so when a team starts to pull as it were the bot doesn't really know what to do it doesn't really it doesn't know it doesn't have that pattern locked into its memory so it doesn't really know how to respond so there are certain loopholes as as there are with any bot that you could maybe exploit to potentially beat it but in this demonstration it seems to completely wipe the floor with even the potentially the world's greatest dota 2 team so yeah say say your prayers and thank your robot overlords now before they decide to incinerate you into dust I want to see open AI take control of like robots in real life and then go up against humans in real life because I feel like Mary I feel like this is kind of like entering Tron's game grid or something like that you're in their world right yeah but yeah like when when wasn't when the AI can take control of like your Boston Dynamics robots and then beat humans which is like probably very soon that's probably yeah that's not fool ourselves but I must always looks terrified probably because he knows it's coming any day now but it's good to know that they're there they're there providing some nerfs to the bots too like you it's not like some hive mind controlling them all at the same time and the reaction time that's very important to like instantaneous reaction time that you know that software can can pull off that humans cannot right this is a massive advantage but you know that's all gonna be unlocked when they decide to enter our world and oh yeah and make a fight like it's a great idea of us that are gonna I don't know what you're talking about this is we need to give these oh we need to give this AI like powerful technology robots may be weapons just then just set it loose and and and you know like a metropolitan center or something like that if you love something I know I'd be a great reality TV show just six cameras oh you want it this oh boy future's looking great all right so let's move on to our last article here from the games report which is also from PC gamer this is just a quick little snippet about gearbox a very popular developer of Borderlands 3 hinting at certain secrets little hidden gems in their cover art they actually shared a high-res image as a hint for internet investigators so if you wanted to sort of play the game and try to find out more little Easter eggs in the game you can do so now it contains if you look closely it contains the Morse code message discovered last week that tints at the return of the destroyer I don't remember what the destroyer was from Borderlands was that in Borderlands 2 or do you remember the decision I'm thinking of the destructor which is from ghostbusters so I don't have the traveler no destroyer claptraps destroyer of the worlds well maybe that's what it is no this is just a random gameplay video okay you only have 7,000 views I'm sure they have some good content so anyway there's there's a bunch of Easter eggs in here people the internet have started discovering them but more will be revealed instead of having to magnify glass this those artwork goes there the destructor those are the traveler that is destroyer he says she says the destructor destructor destroyers just okay goes are the destroyer that sounds familiar yeah the destroyer was just very vague I couldn't it's been so long since borderline - that was we were still working at Newegg we were playing together Wow I was I was an assassin assassin respond I remember it was good when Borderlands 2 is a viable benchmark cuz it had a built-in one that was actually a pretty solid representation it was not fell out of practice because it was it repeatable benchmark you're in yeah but yeah it's been it's been oh yes that's right goes are the traveler gozer the gozerian demands that you choose the form of the destructor and that's thank you chat again amazing shad is like a like a boundless fount of yeah and then and that's then the Simmons the form of the destructor which is a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man which is the first thing that Rey can think of so that was that was a that was a no wonder sound familiar was a Ghostbusters reference yes not a monster that's what I do I just very completely away from what you're trying to talk about so if you guys didn't want to guess around at the artwork and just kind of like waste time on that you could just wait for the worldwide gameplay reveal event that's gonna be on May friggin first which is also the 50th year AMD anniversary hey so get your special edition 2700 X and
