on today's show nvidia drops the screen on its shield handheld and turns it into a set-top box a class that you can use all that super here on comic book information on to ace and it's taught by Stanley oh I like that and NASA shows off its weird simple super ball robot that might be used to explore moons like Titan pretty cool yeah like that stir our daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best cake talk show in the known universe every co-host Ashley scale the druggies always man to my right Pizza King kale anonymous hey I'm the king I like that song won't it go oh the foreigner I'm sorry as I am I I know I say this every day no I don't actually say it every day but there's these first two stories I just love to death as as a super fan of both of the there's some really good stuff happening today so we don't want it than this one it's like a wax on wax off almost kind of if you are me watching the show you're gonna love these first two stories so let's get into the headlines like they do that you might have a clone somewhere watching this cael eating pizza just gonna like show sucks who's that's me alright so let's talk about in video then he had a press conference at GDC this week Game Developers Conference up to San Francisco and had some very interesting things to say but for me and you that the really interesting thing that they had going on was the Nvidia shield has transformed it's no longer a controller with a screen attached to it it's now a set-top box and it's like a little wedge too it's like this cool little wedge looking thing yeah um so it it has 16 gigs a storage inside you can see it's actually a really cool looking like on the top is there's some design to it there which I like I like that it's not just like a plain box there's some really nice design to it 16 gigs to storage on board powered by the nvidia x1 processor which is very nice comes with a controller that you're used to seeing that shield the video shield has had before just without the little clam shell screen did you say comes with it yeah okay cars at the controller and then it actually is it uses android TV so it can access some google play games and apps as well as grid which is invidious streaming service it streams games over the internet so you can play games do you play all kinds of games like Arkham Arkham City like there are so many good games all right downloading streaming streaming so directly your TV is just frequent and from what I have heard people have used grid or have tried it really like it and say that it's it's pretty saw it's not really choppy it's pretty smooth will you agree to my interest tell me tell me more okay so grid is actually right now if you have a shield as far as I'm aware it's free but they're gonna charge for the service starting in June um no pricing yet but I would imagine if I had to guess maybe it would be somewhere in the neighborhood of like $25 I think it might be less I because because the thing is is so you think about Netflix and it's like okay that's eight bucks a month but then you can anything about gamefly which is one game at a time but mailed a physical copy of the game mailed to you that's 15 a month so I don't see why it couldn't be fifteen dollars maybe 20 like I don't know I think they could really make a play at the sort of streaming video game services like they could really cement themselves as the provider if you grid is like the provider like the netflix of streaming movies or whatever they can recycling not either yeah not as what I mean not as well as they'd hoped I mean I think there's been like some kind of runs at it but like they haven't really done as well as I think it video can really do in this space so grid is kind of exciting Oh much how much is that all you've said that yet so grid it doesn't have pricing yet but the shield of the set-top box shield and Vidya shield will know controller the controller 199 and it comes out of May really so it's basically what everything that the steam machine if you've been keeping up on on gaming steam has been promising they want it well they've bet said they want to make a console yeah that is all the pc games on it kinda like this but it seems like this is doing that but without having to download everything and steam machines have been like from 400 to four thousand dollars in price right and so uh this is very interesting like on the grid website some of the featured games they have for grid are so these are the games okay these are some of the feature games it's not all of them but bat batman arkham origins as an ugly ugly controller but you know what's funny is it's it's actually really comfortable in hand like have you ever held the shield yes it's really well made and i like that it has a little remote okay anyway so here are the games here the games Borderlands 2 ooh which or to Alan Wake and alan wake american nightmare Batman Arkham IM batman arkham city borderlands brutal legend Darksiders 2 a bunch of Lego games like harry potter and lord of the rings like all that stuff my my favorite one of my favorite platforms of all time psychonauts available on grid and stacking another another double fine get there's a bunch of Double Fine stuff on here but yeah it looks like featured wise there's some decent titles here and then and then like I said it's also it has access to android so it has access to the Google Play Store which means you can play games like crysis 3 you can play metal gear rising revengeance which is gonna be coming soon I the telltale games so like Game of Thrones a wolf among us like all that stuff's available so I think it's a really good time and a really good not for lack of a better word a really good play for that market like I think it's a really good move really smart I'm very interested in a few things and fill me in if they've mentioned these playing with friends co-op connecting counts that kind of thing I didn't see any job that yet apps did they talk about apps maybe they have netflix maybe they have hulu they said google android TV and they said apps and games so i'm assuming you will have access to google play apps that are that are made for shield so i can't i can't imagine that like people like netflix amazon hulu aren't gonna want to get in on this all right i can see them all kind of getting on board okay okay so i would imagine right they would be available yeah pretty cool and there are they releasing the shield any cheaper just the portable wine it looks it's cuz i've won one of those for they might just be done with that at this point like when the set-top box comes out that might be like this is the next evolution of shield so we're gonna leave the global clamshell handheld behind okay we'll see so my question to anyone that is interested including yourself would you be willing to replace one of your current consoles with that no but here's the thing but here's the thing i have i don't have a problem buying an apple TV for a hundred bucks and if i could buy rights 200 something similar to that with a really nice solid controller which if you buy a controller for xbox is sixty dollars yes so why not just by uncle system razy good christmas gift too remember this remember it's a really good Christmas they'll probably knock the price off like a 20 lb like some sale or something around holidays but like I said when you consider okay well i could buy like a set-top box for a hundred dollars plus a controller that can you know link up via bluetooth that's sixty dollars it's like why not just buy this so into me it makes sense the price point totally makes sense and and onenote real quick to not to artificially extend this but i think the reason why this makes sense on tomorrow daily is because this is like an advancement as far as like streaming yeah and gaming and technology and getting it all into one little thing is having a big streaming and killing off hard hard media from brick-and-mortar time in the future our entertainment I mean this is the way it's going incorporate some VR into this which NVIDIA has a VR headset and we're good to go watching you bullying and that could be a good thing where you could stream stuff right into your nvidia vr headsets heard it here first unconfirmed allegedly you might have total speculation you wanna you want to talk about the more future of nerding I really do okay so if you've ever wanted to actually use all the knowledge you know about comic books whether it be like hey I know the backstory of you know the vision or Captain America and you want to use all of that or maybe learn more about that okay there is now a horse that is available and it stopped by Stanley this is pretty of the father of comic books now this is on edx.org which is uh this this website where they offer some kind of like unorthodox classes this lighting stuff does this yeah they offer these like online courses that you can either audit or pay a little extra to get this like verification thing so they partner up with Stanley to create this course called the rise of superheroes and their impact on pop culture you about to do a Stanley impersonation dude little class talk uh the rise of superheroes was their impact on pop culture there's not like my grandma Chelsea oh well I don't know anyway so it's taught with Stanley and Michael ruslan who is the executive producer of the lego movie and the dark knight series and Batman vs Superman a whole bunch of stuff that guy is legit uh-huh and so they'll t so they'll basically start the evolution of superheroes from folklore because all kind of based on okay yeah and myth a clue from across the globe and narrow it down to the rise of superheroes in the 1930s and their role on society because superheroes are kind of our mythological creatures if you complete the if you complete a verified certificate in the course your sibs if you will actually get original artwork by Stanley that is also Stein signed by him and Michael that's de life so it's actually really cool so again it was uh it's if you want to get into it it's a fifty dollar minimum fee but that's for the verified thing right the verified thing but I think you can do it free if you don't want that yeah you can just for free but you can get for free by out of the course for free yes on it the course but if you want that really cool certificate that's the thing right right yeah yeah so there you go if you want to check it out it's on edx.org I'm gonna I think I'm gonna take this course I feel like I want to do it I actually I went on and like registered and I'm like now I'm just deciding whether i want the certificate or if I just want to audit the course cuz I'm like I'm not gonna like the significant because if you like frame it and stuff you could frame it and so it's like well maybe I want that but then you can actually just FYI if you are going to school you can actually use this certificate for things like you know coursework like if you can if your university is willing to accept it as coursework as like an elective you could potentially ask them if they would which is kind of awesome that's awesome there you go so they like that so 50 bucks and you get Stanley it like are they gonna be they're good they're gonna be like online yeah they're gonna share kind of the responsibilities of teaching Stanley is a pretty pretty great speaker yeah I imagine he won't be doing all of it he's very busy he'll probably mostly Michael because I I mean he's very busy too but I assume he has more free time than safari some Smithsonian piece involved as well like some some historical cuz i know i saw in the the thing it said like they wanted to talk about like how comic books like that when they talk about the history of comic book characters they go through things like how comic books almost got stamped out because like McCarthyism of the 50s and like stuff like that which I find super fun take this course I think I'm gonna do the fifty dollars we're gonna be a plus students are gonna bring our red apples for Stanley and pues lon we're gonna we're gonna do it we're in a daze we're gonna a pluses I said his name right Mike who's line right oh yeah okay and he's like yeah that guy's big time so that actually brings me to our hashtag the day which is TD schooled and I I think I want to know if you could take any course what would it be and who would your teacher you go first I think I would want to learn well okay wait Kim can you verify is this fictional people or real life people I'd say fictional IC champion i can go fiction yet oh man that makes it so much harder um i think i would want this is really dumb but i think i would want to take an illusion class with joe Bluth from arrested development like illusions which with Joe Bluth like I think that would be really fun and like awful but really fun right right I of course audit that I would not pay I would take I would take a filmmaking class with a tommy was 00 the room they've made the room oh my god cuz I want to learn how to like really make techniques I want to make a really really bad movie he's got some techniques there oh hi oh hi tomorrow daily I think I've been amazing just to hear him talk like just to hear him like trying to be like we put the camera in the corner it's weird I don't even know what accent I'm doing this is so what is it TD T schools yeah IC class also if you like own one of your friends like if you like zing him online hashtag TD school too yeah I'll so it just seemed so much so much like someone's like this coffee was burning you like it's not burned you idiots TD school yeah you can totally use them I'll read those ones i can't read those in and favorite them ok we got to talk about this last story ok so NASA this is kind of crazy we all saw curiosity land on Mars unless you're a baby and you missed that which is fine you're excused um but it was really hard for to land this giant car sighs rover on a planet very far away so what you're seeing right now on the screen is something called it's a concept called tense egra T so what this is is rigid components connected by flexible materials so you can see they're sort of cables that are kind of elastic and then there rods that are part of the structure and it looks very bouncy right so we're watching it kind of bounce up and down here so nASA has this interesting little robot called the Super Ball bot and that what you were just seeing that the actual real life thing not the simulation is the Super Ball bot this was one of the earlier builds of it so oh it's got motors in it yeah they have actuators in there so that was an early one with six actuators in there and and so the point of this is it's Super Bowls built around that concept of tents egra d and impacts are not as terrifying if you have a device like this so if it falls off a little cliff or if it hits a pothole that can be really dangerous for something like curiosity but it's not for something like this because it can just readjust itself and it moves this is the new version of Super Bowl this is the big giant version of what the Super Ball bot is and you can see it's obviously evolved quite a bit it moves by tightening and loosening the elastic structures all these rods that's great just like we do our muscles which is pretty cool really cool and so the goal of this is cuz I know we like talking about go you guys gonna the goal so they can see where they're going exactly the goal of this is it's to put a payload in the center of the Super Bowl so what they're saying is is if you're looking at this device and in the you can actually see in the simulation like when we were looking at that there's like a little sphere in the middle of it so they're saying okay well maybe we could have like a sensor or a camera or whatever it is in the middle of that device protected by the tents egra T robot and so when it moves it keeps it safe in the middle it's sort of suspended in the middle and can take some some damage because it it gets diffused the force of impact is diffused across this robot yeah it just seems like it would take a lot of the guesswork out of you know like lighting stuff so you just be like all right we're gonna toss it onto the planet oh no it's ready cuz I kill you literally just described exactly what the image shows of how they would deliver this payload to a planet they showed like a like a thing where they had a like a spacecraft fly above the surface and literally just open the bottom and like pulling out the thing and just let it fall to the surface could save a lot of money in the space program won't a lot of calculations to my calculations alone can be a little looser about it right well there's a lot of people they make something well some people get questionable about like the space programs wasting a little money because this thing didn't work and it really has work and then if you're building these things you're like yeah we toss it on there yeah we throw it my mom as a dog toy that's kind of like this it's like this pace it is baby toy to that just like built on that exactly try to bounce it around so I mean you're just like here you go play with this and tell me if you can so they've been adding actuators over time to this super ball and right now the current version has 12 so they've gone from six to 12 and then the finished one the goal is 24 and they want at some point to be able to they think at some point they might be able to use super ball to explore the surface of say tightenin so they would do a flyby and then just drop it on the surface cheaper too it's a lot cheaper it seems I could be way cheaper and then you could throw a bunch of them you don't have a big science lab imagine imagine that imagine related about 30 and then we had like you know Mission Control had like 30 hoots and then just stick them out you're gonna get students just like drive them around and like look around that you just you know find a planet just go around it well they said they meet in the middle like Benjamin Button okay the cool thing about the 10 secretary devices is they're very compact you can fold them down into very small things and then just like drop them out and then they expand so super cool I thought this was so awesome like I think we should just start using this forever you we're going to take a quick break we'll be right back it's Wednesday so we have a mod squad an old friend if you will a repeat mod squatter somebody we've seen stuff from before and then we also have your user feedback and our phone tiger for the day so don't click away tomorrow daily welcome back to the show I hope you enjoyed those dancing origamis they're delightful um so it's Wednesday which means we have another round of Mod Squad I don't know we don't have a graphic I just like to think of it as like a 60 spy movie like James Bondish Mod Squad Mod Squad I don't know anyway okay I'm doing my best yet right um so it's time four Mod Squad this is as I said a familiar face Olivier see has returned to mod squad on this week's show with his we saw the drone millennium falcon which was awesome and it was everywhere which was super awesome Ian Ian anybody comes all over the place now first but whatever I totally us first and then but now Olivier see has returned with what he promised which is a TIE Interceptor he's got thai fighter oh nice tie fighter quadcopter now it looks amazing see okay the the Millennium Falcon was pretty good but it had all the big journals and like the quadcopter holes in it and so it's just sort of a shell on the outside this on the other hand looks way cooler I think most impressive yeah super good um it is custom carbon and it's a custom carbon and aluminum frame so he's like these are all like custom yeah it doesn't he's crazy custom things which is pretty cool um in the video it's really loud I am tired of this guy only building one I want to see a bunch of time I wanted to fly him over a comic-con and I want him to fight the Millennium Falcon it should be chasing the Millennium Falcon one so you want space warfare I do just with drums like I want I want to remake that I want to just recreate like a space fight with drones like a Star Wars so you space you said it's very loud and it looks like it can't go very fast it will cause the extra weight so the extra way to the frame obviously like slows it down um well I mean that is a big hurdle cuz I don't think TIE fighters go that slow no they definitely be critical Oliver I know as if we could do any better yeah ours if you like a bunch of scotch tape and paper and we just throw it all right I'm gonna get juice box let alone building that thing that's very cool no it's super gay you know you know you know you know that this is going to lead 2like thinkgeek making these of course it's not little tiny little ones that are like ham pie do they have those sized ones i know i would love to say probably would maybe April Fool's Day this year when they introduce like the fake stuff that becomes real maybe it'll be one of those that's what maybe that um all right guys let's talk about your user feedback we talked about robear yesterday japan the japanese robot bear nurse yeah that's carried that was adorable and also scarce I walk the line scared or embarrassed or stared Orville scaradorable um and we asked you guys what you would want your robear to do for you and you guys had some really great answers Andre wrote in and said Robo wing whoa whoa or man so a hot wing man or a wing woman or a robo vacation buddy it would be funny to see someone get me a date with the help of a robot listen Andre I just want you to know you do not you would not need help getting a date if you had a robot friend I mean it would be pretty easy that's true it's like dudes with a puppy like it just women just like that's like that's like an urban legend is that true cuz you're a guy I don't maybe maybe because you're in the like this sort of like robot looks like a movie trope like where it's like a guy with a puppy and ever had the girls i'll come up against okay well but my girlfriend's afraid of robots like she's afraid they're gonna take over the world she generally concerned about that so I don't think like if she saw me to bar with chappie that she'd be into it like she'd be like all right nope and also you look maybe a little lonely if you're hanging out with a robot that's true maybe you can't get any human friends that's kind of weird maybe I'm strikes people is kind of weird I like it I like we're going like we going Neal wrote in and said I'm in the military so I need to rub off the shape of my face overnight it'll get me an extra five minutes in bed every morning uh I hate to be critical on all of these very dangerous as is because if you toss a freezer are you and you're just giving a robot a razor like us that's dangerous I do i do like that because he has no time he needs something that fix just push shave my face so I just I just wanna sleep in a little kudos on that you need the George Jetson thing ripped a my bed does all the things yeah I like that um I'm gonna try not to put your name because I might be terrible at this but um syafiqah syafiqah syafiqah sayaka yes I yes I pika says the robot already existed in the movie just a nice looking soft huggable robot yes it's baymax it's pretty close to beta how do we do it okay how do we do it boo doo doo doo I think I saw a lot of comments for that on youtube so all you YouTube users I read their comic you guys like crash they were like baymax and they also said first yes first baymax first baymax and then lastly Joey emailed us and said a robot to stop me from coming up with stupid robot ideas oh the irony I like that you know what I saw a lot of on YouTube that that I'm surprised nobody mentioned here was that it looked like a robot from friday night at freddy's my Freddie Freddie's everyone's like oh my god five nights at Freddy's because it's like like it's your bear that's tiny rabbi and then it could like ya know I after they said that I couldn't unsee it it's like this thin line between baymeadows do you know what else I can't unsee just to this is sort of it once i want someone said it now i can't unsee it is you know jason momoa is Aquaman yeah ralph garman said it looks like John Travolta in Battlefield Earth and now I can't unsee that picture and I'm like no you ruined it for me Ralph Garman why oh now you'll know now you and all of you will never be able to unsee that with me you're welcome you can thank at ralph garman on twitter for that um okay guys it's time for very last easy to use your feedback it's time for our phone talker for the day pretty sure I just ruined kales whole entire week with that but it wasn't my fault it's ralph garman salt so that rob zombie looks like the guy from battlefield earth yes worlds close look it's almost closing in on me I get um I'm on wrote in to us
