on today's show ISS astronauts make a really cool video involving a floating orb of water and a GoPro those mythical et cartridges that they dug up in New Mexico are now available on eBay if you want one and the eff hopes to revive abandoned online games wise from yo grave sera daily stratum citizen blue internet well Dom due tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley skele Cal's driving the bus on the right hand side which means we're in the UK I'm just kidding we're not but joining me as always kill anonymous hey how's it going you sounded like Elmer Fudd a little bit why is for good wait for me good I know it's from hunting webos yeah I know it's not such a that's a classic it's a classic you're at your gamer runs deep it does everybody see ok gamer and me it runs deep and there's two gaming stories today but they're like I think everyone can appreciate it even if of interest I think to most people yeah one is about like there was like a like a myth than a theory behind it well let's not go hey let's not bury let's not spoil it this does bury the lead really so let's hit the headlines so you've ever wondered have you ever been in microgravity I know the only time I feel like I've been in not quite microgravity but you know it's a little g-force you know those like carnival rides that spin you in a circle and you stand against the wall yeah and then it flings you upwards because there's it's a centrifugal force thing okay that's about what you're talking about i know so anyway the International Space Station just released this really awesome video I they put GoPro inside of an afro ting orb of water which is really neat so here they are this is a this is the video that they released which is pretty cool so here they are squeezing out some water of course that's how the astronauts drink water because he obviously can't just have like a glass of water it was just float right out so they created this sphere of water about the size of a softball and then they took a GoPro camera and put it in there which is crazy they're like oh no no trying to get it yeah there they kept trying to get it to like sit in there and then they recorded on the go prophecy and that's what that's what it looks like if you're listening you have to see this clip it gets to watch the show for this clip because it's pretty amazing but but here is the even better part of this video is that they also released it in 3d and so I brought some 3d glasses I brought some 3d glasses you get the DC super old with cyan and comic books and I'll take the Ninja Turtles glasses okay so we're gonna put on our glasses and we're gonna watch the 3d version as if we're at the Opera Wow look at that oh wow isn't it cool that you're not really great so if you have cyan and red 3d glasses you can actually check this out over on youtube and you can see this orb floating right in front of you which is pretty late your house yeah for free at your house which I love so much I think they just need to keep doing more of this 3d stuff in space I really back interested in to this me this is this is what I like so much about this is that it you know it shows people how things work in space in microgravity without you know but still being entertaining and and all the things so that's a I just I thought that was so cool and I love how NASA and the ISS astronauts are educating but also entertaining us with all their crazy little videos and a music video that Chris Hadfield did like it's back up now it's back up now you included boy Thank You Bowie you're welcome Kate so yeah it's uh it's really cool so that's that was I saw that today and I thought that was pretty awesome that's pretty great is it wait what YouTube channel is it on I believe it's over on NASA's YouTube okay but you can look up if you look up ISS gopro water sphere like it'll it's all over the internet right sponsored by GoPro huh is it sponsored by GoPro oh that I don't know okay I don't know that's a good question I saw it on a different Channel so maybe so let me tell you let me tell you a legend have you heard me a story have you heard of the legend of the ET catastrophe I know was the it's widely considered be the worst game of go so a long time going back in nineteen eighty-three they made an ET video game based on the successful movie okay and it bombs spectacularly three million copies were made and so there was a legend that Atari took all of these games and buried them in a landfill in New Mexico well just goodbye yep so long so they were like they betrayed Heisenberg and they were on an episode of ranking badges yeah they read about the desk at the fishes so so obviously somebody wanted to know if this actually happened so they started a documentary I think was called was it called dig I know I know yeah Xbox did this the dig the dig yes so they said they said to go and see if they were there and sure enough they found all the cartridges along with some additional games missile commander warlords star raiders and centipede yeah they found a ton of games that is pretty go so now after all of this you know obviously the document is gonna come out on a spot i remember hearing about this earlier this year that there were in fact ET cartridges yeah those fresh cartridge some some that were just cartridges and some that were in their box and hipsters enjoy them look at that um but anyway so now now you can actually buy one of those cartridges that they dug up on ebay a landfill yeah the landfills soul et Atari 2600 yes yeah yeah that is pretty amazing I really want much am I gonna pay for this so if i want to go buy one all right you were you really want to know in box five hundred dollars I wouldn't know you can't even play them it's good dirt no you could probably go online find an emulator and play it I don't know it I guess it's a piece of history yeah it's one of the biggest gaming legends of all time so they've got a few of them they've got 20 copies of them in the in the box and then they ate so they're gonna sell 60 to 70 that are outside the box but if you're a memorabilia like a gaming memorabilia collector this you got to have this yeah this is kind of laid out your five hundred dollar bill this is kind of like those limited edition Back to the Future Nike Air Mags that they sold a couple years ago and the proceeds went to charity and I guess this like as far as I'm aware of the city of Alamogordo which is where the landfill is which is a great name for the mobile Alamogordo um they are I am not sure where the proceeds of us are going to but I do know that it's going to the city so hopefully they will disperse that too maybe kids or you know program special programs whenever there was they give it to like child's play which is the the gaming charity yeah that would be super amazing um but yeah so I like I really like that this is kind of a super lovey I mean if you want one of these this is like you said it's a piece of gaming history but it's a huge cuz it was a myth for the longest time yeah well there were you were just whispers of like this crazy event that happen cuz we're going to think about what a crazy thing that a company would just be like whoa screwed up let's bury all of our gay let's throw them out it know what I am filled yeah just just hide it forever instead of like just you know giving them to people for freedom unreal to me okay so that brings me okay this is the question of the day that I think so we want you guys to use the hashtag TT trash and I think you guys got to tell us what game should be buried in a landfill forgotten fresco give one game we want just stricken from drinking surface of the earth stricken from the record put underground what game then just to be discovered in like 20 years yeah 30 30 years ya know maybe even just to never potentially be discovered again they may never get to see a road like it just disperses it a good so what about yours what are you I think I gotta go with you annoyed oh yeah you know it its heritage people with a yo-yo it's so based off of dominoes p I have lots of Domino's Pizza feeling what a caveman game like five years ago it's just no no no dough yo noise that's what I would back out the back when that you can throw I was gonna say cool spot but I think cool spot was pretty good yeah that was it a 7-up spot one yeah it's all back when they had all the game time I don't can't believe they didn't make a chester Cheetah game anyway we're getting off shocking uh mine would be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for SNES because it was painfully difficult and when your Excuse one was really hard you're so hard there were alleges that you just couldn't jump to and you had to and there's the water level anytime as a water lock this was the word notice went through and there's the electric plants that you have a verte oh and you have to stop and it like and I enjoyed the NES game so much that I remember being really excited about the SNES game and then I was very frustrated ya know they were all they're all pretty tough but that one really in particular was yeah Michelangelo's little like thing only like reach like this far so you get real close to the end of terrace with nunchucks yeah that's the worst alright so what do you guys think what is it what are the things that you would bury underground let's get rid of what game would you bury in a landfill every copy we just get rid of every copy of the game just scary someone's gonna troll someone's gonna be like someone's gonna be dirty well total five yeah I know you terrible people um ok so our third our third story today is also about games I found this very very interesting so the eff is the electronic frontier foundation they tend to fight for things like did stop sopa stops espa like all of these sort of they fight for net neutrality like they fight for the user if if i were to speak in Tron isms they fight for the user so one of the worst things about playing a game on the internet is you never know when support for that game is going to get yanked like you have no idea because you play a game on let's say a previous gen console like mario kart for wii it's really fun to play that online game but at some point Nintendo is gonna pull the plug on that support and this is Star Wars Galaxies this was the very last moments of some of these games yeah like halo 2 people work for matrix yeah hello to I mean there's all kinds of online games that that are were unable to play them now with other people because unless you're in the same house because of support going away for these games there's a very tiny yeah play it on your part damn center of your phone so the neat thing about this about the eff is that they have petitioned to make an exception on the DCM a ban of what's called the circumvention of access control technologies so what they're saying is they want to make games that have online components exempt from this part of the DC ma that would make it I guess legal or acceptable for people to run third-party servers for games like Halo 2 and mario kart for wii and you wouldn't have to authenticate or otherwise check in with Nintendo servers or whoever's buns new servers whatever to be able to play those games online like a third party could in like in effect start their own server and have multiplayer matches so this is this is protecting idea that if I was like I want to play halo 2 but i can't play online let me just modify you know let me know game code so i can host my own server my friends can join or right and that would this exception that they're real cool it's really awesome but they're asking for would make it legal to do that and it wouldn't believe you yeah which is pretty cool well I'm yeah I'm like I don't have the controversial opinion so I'm just gonna you have go do it I think it's okay for some of these to like just just dived on I do just to kind of have like their 30 that's time their their moment and and like I know there's a community but there's a community for everything I don't disagree with that and we can we can move on and move forward I mean like right there shouldn't be an 80 year old man playing Star Wars Galaxies like crack 80 years like right it prompts progress like I arsonist so much to let go of but it's like you know that as a moment like I go back that's part of this stuff yeah if I can you imagine still playing runescape and it's like state right now but like in 40 years know like they won't world of warcraft to keep going i'd like a blizzard said earlier this week they're like we want Wow to be until 2024 we want that game to still be going so that 10 more years they want to go it's our 10-year anniversary this year it's crazy what they doing it a massive graphical update now we're getting often yes I now we're in off a tangible talk about that after the show but we're going to take a quick break we'll be right back we would back at her Hackett and your user feedback and a fantastic phone time for the day so don't click away stir bar daily okay we are back and speaking of the word back it's time as we do every week to talk about a Kickstarter crowd fund and IndieGoGo wherever we find it of something really cool that we thought was you know worthy of our time and yours so it is time for back at our hackett so I feel like uh I feel like we might have to change it though because there's always something cool on exact like nothing yeah maybe one maybe a half one so I feel like maybe it's just like hey back this um okay so kale you are always complaining about with virtual reality can't see your hands yeah you can't see your hands and that really takes you out of it yeah cuz you're like I'm in this world oh wait I'm not instantly so the folks over at nimble VR feel the exact same way as you and so they have developed the nimble sense which is a way to bring your hands into virtual reality gaming okay yeah okay let's go so here's hear it here he is this is an accessory that's optimized for the oculus rift but where there's his hand right there and he's like 'no candle um he they also claim though that it's flexible with other virtual reality headsets so you might be able to develop for something else but for the most part it's developed for the oculus rift seeing as that's how the main big served virtual reality how was it how was it reading his hands okay he's not wearing gloves or anything no it's a camera see it on top of the oculus rift it mounts on the top and so these guys at nimble this is pretty impressive these guys have been working on this type of tracking for years since before the first connect these guys have been working on this type of technology for a long time and what they're doing is its depth sensing with a 110 degree view which is wider than the oculus rift dk2 and their skeletal hand tracking software is extremely flexible I know you're so excited well because it's I'm sorry to interrupt but like it's reading their hands really really well yeah and so they basically talked about how connect is like one of the few like that level of technology is the type of tech that you're going to need to able to read the dexterity of your hands and so that's the type of stuff that's in this headset camera okay so it's a camera it's very small it's not very big at all this is a demo that we're seeing but there's also there's a Kickstarter video where they show a little bit more of like exactly like how they've developed it here you go here's the dexterity that's how good the dexterity is oh my god alright crazy and I've seen leap motion but like this is like no way deal this is yeah this is beyond so this is like having a connect on the top of but a very small connect on the top of your oculus rift and then and then on top of that specialized software that takes advantage of that specific tracking technology okay so they're asking for backing to make this they want to make public yeah they want to make this public I would ship in june of next year if you back it and here's here's the best part well there's employees at this company who have worked for ILM Pixar the graduates from MIT like these are legit engineers and coders and I mean these are brilliant people working on right yeah they have to be uh if you want one you will pay ninety nine dollars what yeah ninety-nine bucks you get the camera and one DK to mount for the oculus rift that's it but if you want mounts for other things like they have different types of 3d printed mounts that you can buy it costs like 129 like 110 they have like different kind of just not very much more than ninety nine dollars but they have that they also have a developer kit for a game studio that comes with like a couple different cameras and stuff and I think that's 300 mm so still so really reasonable really really reasonable and you get the camera the mount and open-source demos that the demos that they are showing right yeah so that you can see how the technology works I'm like code like basically you've modified on yourself which is really how much do they need um they're already a hundred there RT it's like it ya like 37 days left like it just went up a few days ago and it's already 100 sent back but you should definitely get in on this if you really like virtual reality you wouldn't you if you're a coder on this something that's really inexpensive to kind of jump in with so I I say why not I say back as before it was just virtual see a Latino it's virtual reality yeah I exact okay cool yeah I'm totally all for that for sure again I thought you'd be excited I'm super excited about it because it didn't think it was gonna look that good but if that's gonna be like out of it yeah now what is its full like capture it's crazy it's really good really good damn you should really like the way they were nimble since they the way they were showing it looks like it would be more point and click adventure type you know doing surgeons I could just play like 11th hour with my like do the blood and honey puzzle I'll make sure I love that so much looks but yeah so that's our backer Hackett obviously pretty good um you guys I know will be interested in that so if you want to get in on that I believe it's like I said jun 2015 they'll be shipping i watch i am curious to see how they're gonna deal with the retail version of oculus though like is it gonna be that they'll wait to ship until they have a retail version or is it it or if maybe I don't know I don't know how they're gonna deal with that because they are in kind of a weird area right now time frame where they're kind of coming up against a retail oculus so I don't know we'll see i'm still team oculus I know re competitors it's like building on it so much more hey well it's gonna be the thing that has all the accessories and everyone's gonna want to make stuff for it so I'm for a new king maybe yeah um alright well that being said it is time for your user feedback once it comes down in bed just in case somebody says something I don't like you don't like and you dumped motivation no no no I don't like glory all right so um yesterday I actually did not mention the hashtag of the day I forgot but it was in the show it was a TD 3001 we wanted people's feedback on 3001 oh the Space Odyssey oh yeah yeah series it really Scott was doing somebody did pick up on that though I want to say that this is probably our most engaged viewer who's actually paying attention during the show linnemann high fives he says hashtag through TD 3001 you should read 2001-2010 2061 and 3001 but i'm worried i love the books yeah i mean i think it's i think it's only natural to be worried yeah cautiously optimistic is how I feel right I'm not I'm not not gonna jump on the hype train without thinking about it but I'm optimistic a little feeling cautious but optimistic at least they have the backing of everybody that was kind of like it like involved a little bit so at least they're the F folders wave annex and brick and Clark's it's amazing so it's not like they're gonna cram everything down they provide time to tell the story they can tell a little slow I like that I mean I that's that could be really good many serious is kind of a sexy word known didn't know it is people really love the miniseries right now and then we actually got one not about 3,000 won this is from Jordan who said sorry Ashley sceva you did not get the role of Steve Jobs congrats kill anonymous you win and photoshopped our faces in deceive John beard and honestly I think I'm gonna I think I'm gonna grow beard that five o'clock shadow is looking pretty great um those glasses look spectacular on you kill we actually uh we actually look pretty good I look like a monkey like the ear is though but that Steve Jobs is here that's not my oh my hair sits lower on my face guys oh and one more thing one more thing yeah it's magical that's great thank you for that version really funny it may it may be laughs it totally made my neck good um so that being said it is now time for our phone tag for the day more more international folks I could we I really cannot say how much I appreciate everybody who watches the show I really
