on today's show a man makes a horseless carriage in the shape of a horse a new video revealing just what Unreal Engine 4 can do and you won't believe what happens next that is deeply upsetting and a planetarium in London that's inflatable that allows city dwellers to look at the Stars very cool yay super our daily pretty citizen through the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley Skeletor Denise always the man who always throws me in the middle of those cold opens Kayla nagas look I know that we don't use clickbait so I always wanted to just like just do well I just it's just like cold open bait yeah well yeah but it's yeah you can guess so it's cold open day you threw me on that one I wasn't expecting to hear you'll never guess what happens next and I wanted to start laughing and I couldn't don't never guess what I'm gonna say next yeah I think I can guess what I'm gonna say next which is uh if you were looking for episode 102 one to yesterday oh yeah we gotta just mention this we got a little housekeeping here if you're looking for episode 120 it is published actually at the exact same time this episode is going to publish we had an issue where for whatever reason our TriCaster decided to go on vacation for the second half of the show and not record any audio but fortunately because producer Logan is so great at his job he made a backup and so that actually worked so I have to go in and re-edit the show and everything which means you'll get it 1:20 the same time as today's episode 121 so really sorry about that it was up long enough for a couple of people to respond to the hashtag of the day and then we pulled it down immediately well that's good because yesterday's was the best episode we've ever done ever of all time and it's gonna make this episode look like crap it's gonna make it look like garbage so if you're binge watching hopefully your binge watching your binge watching let's hit the head I don't now you caught me off guard just do your news story there's already too much talking okay um Kayla you haven't seen this video yet and I I am dying to see your reaction to it okay this is probably the best worst robot I've ever seen in my life and I really truly mean that this comes from a man who is a Chinese farmer his name is su daocheng he likes to make kinetic sculptures this guy's like really into making kinetic sculptures and he has made himself a horse robot a horse robot um but it looks like it might actually look really cool when it starts going it but it's so like charming and adorable that I wanted to show it on the show because this to me is amazing this guy is a Chinese farmer of all the people in the world you'd expect to just be making robots this guy probably not at the top of your list and yet here he is making a robot like anybody can make robots you guys if this guy can do it anybody can so he okay it looks really difficult to right it looks like it's terrifying rights gas-powered as well um which there's an irony in the fact that like we started we made the car to get away from using horses to get around in and now this guy okay anyway he says he built the horse supply was fields and honestly did he I really I don't think he's gonna I don't it's gonna take him a really long time to get back to his field he rides his horse all the way home but I really love the fact that he also makes other kinetic sculpture so he also claims to have made a helicopter a homemade helicopter for his fields I had I looked and I couldn't find video of that I'm really sorry you guys but I really love this video and the sound we didn't play the sound but it sounds like a garbage disposal full of dump trucks flute filled with spoons I don't know any other way to describe the noise you know what this is and no offense I love this is great it's Joe it's amazing like I said if my grandfather made this I'd be I'd be like you're the greatest grandfather of all time this is the most bleak look at future tech on this show I'm gonna be really sad this is scary sighting for sure scare sightings super scares I think but I like you know they look at how nice the horse's head look yeah I was gonna say that super good I was gonna say that it's it's a work in progress it's gonna show but it is so charming embrace iam whatever is he moving I just it's so funny to me it really looks like it's gonna fall apart at any second and again I'm not trying to be yet so charming and I'm so proud of and he tonight to be leaked and judgmental on this show guys better than we can do because if I had to make a horse who probably be about eight times worse than this I don't want to say it anymore we accidentally showed you a picture from the story three that was not part of Story one but like I said I actually do think even though it is hilarious looking to us I'm the Internet it is actually super amazing that a Chinese farmer of all people making robots out there not a guy you would expect you just take the initiative doing it himself and for that kudos my friend kudos good job you can only get better you can only get better that's all right tell me we got unreal for that's great I'm sorry okay so today released today actually it was released yesterday now at least yesterday was this video showing off what you can do in the Unreal 4 engine and it's unbelievable if you're just listening to this podcast you'll watch it and you'll think that you're just getting a tour of somebody's housing and real an employment for saying we have seen we have seen footage from the Unreal 4 engine for PlayStation and we have that check this out ok so yeah if you see this yeah it looks it looks amazing it's unbelievable but it looks like a video game it does look like a video game and it also exists in kind of like an imaginary world so it's hard to kind of lock it to reality ilysm but in this footage if you can show it again it's actually of a population a Parisian apartment now what you're gonna want to notice is the the the creator Bay no but I'm sorry but no Derek Daru okay that's where he was saying who is he try that CG generalist and level designer he focused if you want to look for the detail he focused on light textures and reflection that's what that's our bidding yeah there's reflection the Lighting's coming in to reflect perfectly um but he said that this demo is not optimized for like gaming it's more about just to kind of show off what it can do and but we look at it as the future of video games yeah this is I mean when we think about what we saw when Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 came out we were like wow this is incredible and I can't wait to see what its gonna look like at the end of its lifecycle well like that's the stuff we're gonna see at the end of the lifecycle for like Xbox one and PlayStation 4 so let's talk about what I always like to talk about which is VR all right I talk too much but let's talk about it okay so now immediately both you and I were like well this would be amazing let's just live like in this world or live in that nice apartment well a user named Chris Jones this guy has his own channel he actually was already got the demo he did it he got the demo because it was out yesterday it's gonna come out again and he put on that oculus rift and used the Omni which is a motion tracking thing so you can walk around and that he got a chance to actually walk around the demo okay can I just say this is awesome because if you live in a little fleabag apartment now you just need an oculus rift you look like you've live in a really nice place and you can forget all about living in a terrible apartment if you have a lady over and she's like your apartment is garbage put this headset on you were going to Paris we're gonna go live in my other apartment my other apartment pair if you want to check it out they have a 1080 60 60 frames per second one on Ben OD Rouge channel and then also if you want to try out the demo he's gonna have it up on his site he said tomorrow on Ben no darou comm delay I'll be able to check it out yourself and walk around and not crap off the shelves yeah I'm max ever very that's super cool okay so that's hash tag of the day worthy I think and I think the hash tag of the day should be TD unreal because not only was that built Unreal 4 engine but it was also unreal to look at it's a little bit too realistic I know what old-school game would you want to see remade with Unreal Engine 4 okay you go ahead are you gonna say something like missed well I was gonna say you know because I you love to talk about virtual reality and I love to talk about grim fandago hit Logan look if someone already did it they remade parts of grim fandago with the Unreal Engine 4 and it looks stunning looks super good they remade the Department of Death the DoD hmm but yeah they redid it all was unreal and then they made like a teaser trailer and I was like I want the whole game like that I know I'm asking way too much like every time I'm like no I need more I know it's remastered now I want it Unreal 4 uh-huh anyway what about you I think go Zelda Zelda welcome eyes beautiful force and see like fairies and stuff and then although Hank answers I would also like 11 the 11th hour or 7th guest I wrote down another one but I forgot what it was yeah I don't remember what it was but anyway so yeah that's I like Zelda though that's right up let's go by the master sword so TD unreal and then our last story is really interesting actually this happened back at the end of November and I don't know how we missed it because we never we don't tend to miss these things but um this is so cool so this London does this annual night called light night Canning Town and so they bring an artist and other designers to create these like huge art installations that have to do with light that sounds amazing and apparently it's it's in its second year and apparently it's very popular enough to keep getting annual year's like it's - okay so it's new ish and this was the second year back in November and there was a company a design company called loop dot pH and they brought this insane 30-foot tall inflatable mylar like bubble and it's a planetarium so people could crawl into it it was like inflated underneath the freeway so you could see it like as you're driving and then zips closed and then here so that's it looks like at night like from outside and then from the inside you can see they're like soup they're getting everything ready and here comes a person inside of it they bring them in and it's all laser projected stars it's like so you can look at all of the constellations in the sky as if you were the earth wow that's incredible yeah it's really really neat and it's like I said it's made of mylar it's a huge bubble it's like 30 feet tall and they said that they tried really hard to get a close replica of the night sky but that it's not perfect so they said you know it's not perfect we it's it's close but it's not perfect because obviously it's a giant ice one yeah but the thing is is there is um they have like a sub-headline for this that the actual installation is called Osmo but they the sub headline for this is like a beginner's guide to the cosmos or something like that so I really liked that it was sort of like it might not be a hundred percent accurate like you know to scale whatever but it got people into like going in and stargazing as it were and especially in a city like London where there's so much light like you don't tend to be able to stargaze the way you would out in the country so I thought this was really awesome and now I want it to come travel to the US I feel like it should I feel like that should be one that hops for Museum to me here so you can check it out it feels like you could really its mylar so there'd be travel you roll it up like an old balloon and then just like shut it out of a backpack or just drop it in front of here I come down the street can I get it on prime blah I'm gonna inside of Planets area mellow yeah yeah I did that and I thought that was really cool and I wanted to show that to you guys yeah awesome so that is it for our headlines we're gonna take a quick break we're gonna be right back with another run of into it because it's Thursday and then of course we have your your important yet not quantity wise it's not a large amount of users if you look rattled and then we are gonna see our photogra for the day so don't click away tomorrow daily welcome back to the show we've returned hopefully you can hear audio this time I'm gonna double check just to make sure yeah kale actually is also in black and white so if you're seeing him in color seek medical attention immediately that's cool it's Thursday which means we get to tell you about the stuff that we're super into and fittingly this is into it yummy you go first I don't know it doesn't I don't think I don't think either informs the other at all well I may just mean like a setup to okay I don't know that's fine so I'm really into face-off it's like one of my favorite realities really oh well I love the chunky Brock who doesn't love face off movie okay Nicolas Cage is a national treasure see what I did there all right so face off the television show reality TV movie makeup I love movie makeup I think if I had not gone into hosting I would have really enjoyed doing makeup and you know special effects and I just I dig this whole world and so the fact that there is a reality show that sort of shows you kind of the how to's of you know how everything comes together is super fascinating me and I really enjoyed and the one thing I really like about face off is generally speaking on each season they're all friends with each other like they're it's not a bunch of weird backbiting like you know how you seen some reality shows people like I didn't come here to make friends oh wait here it's so we're on reality you know I didn't come here to make friends I didn't come here to make friends I came to win like there's those people this is not that show yeah go to mine go ahead if she's gonna get all in my face I'm gonna take her down kale style there that would be perfect great reality TV trope I really like that so for me it's I really like the camaraderie amongst all of the the groups and I do like I love the judges V Neil is you know where my personal heroes and the owner team industry she's just super fascinating has a lot to say about it and then Glenn Hetrick looks like a vampire which is exciting start he also uses own schools make up school and everything and then I love Neville page I really I miss Lois Burwell she was great last season but they don't have her back this season but yeah it's it's been super enjoyable I highly recommend it if you have sci-fi and can watch it it's it's super fun and I just I really like seeing what everybody creates in such a short amount of time it's really impressive they put together have you used any of their tips for your own makeup yeah yes this is actually just FYI this is it actually just a full prosthetic I actually don't have a face you know Madonna's character and Dick Tracy that she plays blank face yeah that's that's what I look like normally no but have you actually used like tried because you said you were gonna get into it no I like I used to do funny weird side story I used to do modeling at a at like a makeup school so people would do like special effects makeup and stuff on me like that was really fun it was like when I was like 18 19 so I get to be like Cleo crazy like futuristic Cleopatra and then there was like an 80s punk rock look there's a lot of beauty makeup but there was a lot of special effects stuff in there too so anyway what are you into this week I'm into wearing t-shirts to say night party oh and also knife party I'm nice I'm going and it's like a really crazy dubstep band I mean EDM oh wow formerly the band of formerly the band formerly the producers I pendulum created this this other side gig like band and that is this night party and I'm actually gonna go see them on Friday night I'm very excited their last album is what they're on tour for the last album was called abandoned ship and it is basically mostly a parody of the EDM genre okay that's interest they mock themselves they mock the whole genre it's just every song is a free jokey on it but at the same time as I like to say face-melting because when you go to one of these concerts it's the most intense experience in a very jarring way but I your ears are gonna be balloon I'm gonna go to an EDM concert I'm gonna go to one that rattles me to the core and there and is one of those ones where you're like oh you survived so yeah you let's so if you don't see kale on Monday you'll know what happened not everybody likes knife party I like I'm well aware especially pretty someone everyone lives through knife party really the producer Logan is is not as a fan of everything yeah cricket noises he just likes not a nice party not a party so there you go I'm excited awesome right that's what I'm into well now that we've talked about what we're hnu we're going to talk about what you guys are into which means it's time for your user feedback before the audio went out yesterday we had asked you guys to use the hashtag TV vr film and tell us what you would want a movie of in oculus like so oculus studio but again our video would didn't go up so we didn't get a lot of them well it went up for short amount of time until we realized that there wasn't audio in the second half of the show so some people saw it and they we got some feedbacks of two pieces of feedback and Jim wrote to us and said I want to experience a flood and bridge collapse during a violent storm similar to the movie of mathematics I like this concept of experiencing something super dangerous they'd probably kill you in real life and being able to go through it in virtual reality like Pompeii yeah okay like I'm like yeah you watch a volcano erupted right in front of your face and then you get melted but it's not really just take your headset off and then Stefan wrote to us and said a recreation of Lord of the Rings for VR would be epic yeah nice job Stefan good choice it'll be a choose your own adventure where you'd like you have the ring and you're the you're Frodo and you have to just find your own way through I wouldn't give it back I'd use middle-earth well now I was gonna say you find your own way through middle-earth you just be lost you be walking for years years like this movie of literally lastly some people wouldn't mind walking through the world Lord of the Rings that's however if you had a chance to just summon the Eagles and then just ride to Mordor it seems pretty legit over I really like that there's a you you've seen that right the the fury that Gandalf kept trying to tell them to use the Eagles like when they were in the mines of Moria and he he falls and he's like fly you fools they chill I keep trying to tell them to use the Eagles and they never do I got like this theory damn theory I want I want to know more about you Bart about that there afterwards it's it's actually a pretty like compelling interesting theory it makes me laugh every time I see if you did whatever you had waked if you meant like fly you fools and they were like oh he wanted bird it's actual flying oh my god we couldn't figure it out hello Panthers so it's time for a last piece of user feedback for the entire week it's our photogra for the day so john h wrote to us and he said longtime listener first-time submitting i listened to the podcast while driving to various job sites so i missed out on all the videos and phone to graphs but i just but saw this in my drive about the time you were asking for them I'm using an iPhone 6 with no special apps or filters this is near Smith's Ferry Idaho and it's what an early thaw looks like on the river here should be frozen solid but I guess all the cold weather went to New England this week love the show thanks okay so for those of you listening we're gonna describe these features in detail for you so that you can feel like you're right there with John as he's listening the show this picture right here is a beautiful blue sky partly cloudy got some trees in the background in silhouette and then lots of ice over water and it's all kind of broken up a little bit what does it look like it looks like the shots you'd see where you see a sad little polar bear going like help me I'm its melting well that's bleak like no it's it's crazy because it's all the ice is all broken up into different layers and and and different sizes it's giant chunks of ice like it's really neat I like the pictures a lot I mean it's that's super interesting and I feel like I am cold just looking at the pictures I like that we don't get a lot of seasons here now Los Angeles so it's really cool to see like emergency seasons where it's like flooding oh yeah stroke fire yeah but even then we overreacted yeah exactly hey stroke it's 90 degrees out heat watch that's pretty cool yeah I appreciate all the people that are just listening yeah we do and if you ever wondering what we look like in case you are hoping to run into us in the wild kale looks exactly like Chris Hemsworth and I look exactly like Scarlett Johansson yeah we can't we get it all the time like I was actually
