on today's show a research team builds a heart in a lab from scratch you can become a robot pilot if you happen to be in Japan and portal is back in a way you've never seen it before who love that GLaDOS sera daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show of a nerd universe I'm Ashley together that's kill anonymous so your thing the other thing you said I want GLaDOS actually I would more just say they say your thing I want Gladys to be my navigation and you can cuz there's there's like um you get a GPS yeah garmin we know what you and you download it and it tells you the opposite direction you're supposed to be going that's so it's like lat on if you're supposed to turn right it's like turn left now or do a u-turn if you're supposed to keep driving straight having traffic yeah it's really it's really like doesn't help you out at all but it's funny yeah I love that so much I would like the Gladys voice I would like to be able to pick that as series voice in my iphone oh it's cuz you're almost there and treat me like I am the worst person like just be like you are looking heavy today like I just want her to be like I was once a potato like that for that I would pay for that I'd be amazing an add-on pack for GLaDOS as Siri that would be glorious we're not talking about we're not talking a portal just yet not yet let's have headlights Cale finally my dreams can come true I can now be a robot pilot I can I can go and try it out I saw this story on rocket news and I got really excited rocking news if you're not familiar is this site that like focuses on mostly Japanese culture either here in the US or actually in Japan and so they they sent one of their reporters to go check out this 33 thousand pound robot a called superga Zilla on display in Tokyo at up at a festival that is called and this is this is the translation from rocket news so hopefully it's one hundred percent correct Odaiba dream continent dream mega summer festival which I feel like they should make a music festival and bring to the US so there are lots of boots all different kinds of stuff and this robot was part of that again 33,000 pounds about 13 feet tall it's heavier than kuratas sweta bashe heavy industries robot that's going to fight that other mega robot next year it's heavier it's heavier than that robot by quite a bit and they let you pilot it like you can actually get in and pilot it but there is a total catch to this so obviously they don't want you jumping in there and rolling around the festival that the dream dream continent dream mega summer festival they don't want you rolling around there and like crushing people and stuff so what they do is they put you inside the cockpit of the actual robot because see these like giant claws that it has they put you in the cockpit and you put on an oculus rift and they have they have they have joysticks on each side and the seat is hydraulic controlled so when you're moving it actually feels like the entire robot is moving like they've designed it for the seat and everything to move as if you are moving in the robot and apparently the the interface is like incredibly realistic really really cool and the seat again moves as you control it and and so that's how they that's how they let you be a robot pilot for a 33 thousand pound robot but I mean you gotta start somewhere you gotta train you gotta train you can't just take a giant robot out so let me let me get this straight you don't actually pilot the robot well you're piloting virtual reality so to answer the question no no you're not really pilot but it can the robot move for real no they can move it around yet look it actually this video made me laugh really hard because they play this song from a popular Japanese pop group and it kind of dances to it like it's hilarious like really entertainment that's got a damn but no it totally moves it's a totally functional robot they actually have see all those rocks underneath like behind that barrier yeah it's it crushes those rocks like yeah the rocks inside these claws and like smash them in half and stuff so this is actually functional kind of dangerous robot so that was the reason they have like we can't have people going around slicing people and have yeah I trust no one to pilot that thing no not at all that's why they gave you the oculus and that's cool does that doesn't cost money to do it or I don't think they charged the the reporter they didn't say anything about like a fear anything you can just go check it out so apparently i would imagine probably a pretty good line at the ODB dream continent dream mega summer festival that's the best the biggest summer dream festival dream continent dream mega summer festival to dreams you got to dreams to know that's the best festival name of our logo are we going to that cool i'll be there next year Odaiba we got to go there all right okay okay no no that just just just forget that but this is it okay guys this is the moment we've been waiting for I've always said that VR to actually start selling headsets needs to create something that we want to play that let blows our minds that we that we don't want to end and that we like it's we're like I'll get a VR headset for that and this is basically it and it's a demo that they showed off for the the HTC vive this is the headset that valve is making with HTC in which we get to experience aperture labs from the portal series like one of the best games of all times you get to walk around the lab there's a lot of different you get to fix a Peabody Sherman no wait Atlas atlas sorry you get to fix atlas you get to look through some different cabinets or some really funny jokes one in which you see out look there's cake I know and they and the guy and they do a voiceover for this and they point out the fact that the cake is moldy because that joke is old right great touch and then of course these little tiny characters and it's a little office and you scare them all of the humor from the portal series so great in this demo it's only a five minute demo but from what we can see in it and there's out it has all of the charm and it explores portal in a different way than we've seen before you don't get the portal gun but you do get to go around and experience the fact this world is interesting to a tee yeah apparently watching this video which is available and that's that's what you're watching it's a record off of a leg off a screen but apparently this does not even begin to show why this is so awesome in VR and that's that's the exciting thing is we really haven't seen anything from the HTC vive you've seen things from oculus Samsung gear do you know they had a trailer at comic-con like they an actual full trailer where they people were able to line up and try the vibe and I wanted to stand in that line was so long it was like outside of the convention center like a couple blocks down by a cupcake shop and I'm like I want to stay on this line so bad I don't get to that would have been worth it um but again this is for what I know the first thing that they've showed off and then by far in my opinion the most interesting and exciting thing that like I'm like I have to try that I want to play this game so bad does this mean there's going to be more of this yeah oh yeah definitely like come on they're just gonna build a demo it look like oh we built this five-minute demo and there's this definitely not a game attached this will sell HTC vive headset I will buy one if they release a full portal game and again I've been saying all they need to do is get a game that makes sense one that you don't want to put down and one that is an experience that you have to have to have a play and this is this is it yep this is a competition the console seller so this is like halo for the Xbox this is you know these are the games that make people buy hardware and so that I mean gosh portal all they need now half-life 3 felony yeah that's us saying is any of those three games left 4 dead 3 I need any of those a second I hate that it has to be an IP that we already know that's gonna sell the consoles right but it it does kind of make sense to first to want to explore a world that we already love ya in a new way it's all a new way that's so I think that's so there you go yeah that's um that's basically that's basically that you can go check out the video against five minutes they narrate it there's no sound to this guy narrates it perfect narration yeah super ghetto schlump really I was marriage really well done yeah but that brings us to our hashtag of the day for the last article yes it does which is a TD bot pilot which I wanted to ask I forgot I'm sorry I'm getting really bad about forgetting the hashtags you were excited about Portland I was really excited about portal okay um if you could pilot a robot where what would you do with it what kind of robot would you pilot what would you want to do what you want to take the robot and what would you want to do with it like if you could just pile it a robot around and you can't sail I caught on like oh I want a self-driving car like that's not the same like I'm talking about like a yate like a jager type robot or you get in you like pilot it around and it walks and stuff uh I probably said do transformers have jet packs I mean rocket packs I mean listen in first course we goin yeah I want a pilot Starscream yeah so from the Transformers Starscream cuz I'll have a jet I'll have a robot that walks around and I'm good yeah yeah yeah that's what I want I would want a robot with a 3d printer attached that makes roads that 3d prints me plastic roads so I can skip traffic oh nice see you later suckas and it dissolves in the rain like just like oh yeah like cotton candy like spider-man spiderweb no one else can use it it's just like basically as soon as i drive over it my emissions for my tailpipe just like wipe out the road behind me oh my god what yeah you're like ice man does the present wiser oh yeah probably why don't you turn it to Disney sure i do disney alright last story but certainly not the least important this is rad ok so we've talked about lab-grown organs before right so we've talked about people the scientists are making some really interesting microscopic versions of the human body and they want to connect them all together they wanna make like a nervous system and a brain and a heart and all the stuff well that is always relied on scaffolding so what they do is they actually will like sell wash like for example a valve from a pig like a heart valve they actually sell wash it so that it can be transferred a new human body without like more levels or possibilities of rejection so they basically like make a scaffolding they take all they strip it it's all it's called like cell stripping I think they strip it and then they rebuild something like to make it for humans well this is a first because UC Berkeley has now made a beating human heart whistles that were rewound and I'll explain that in a second without scaffolding they they taught these cells to make it themselves into a heart without any like scaffolding or structure that otherwise told them how what shape to make them sounds gross let's see this insane so this is its microscopic you still I mean it's not obviously not nearly the same size as a human heart um what they did was again without pre-existing structures to help guide the cells the cells themselves figured it out but they did make chemical sort of like no-go zones so they could tell the cells like okay well you can build here but you can't build here so but there was no scaffolding involved there wasn't like a premade like 3d printed you know different there's different types of materials that you can make like polymers and things that are like a scaffolding they didn't have any of that and what they did was this is insane so basically they imitated what happens when an embryo grows its own heart right okay crazy and how they did this was this is how I am to understand this and hopefully I get this right because I read the story a lot and was like if i'm reading this right they rewound ordinary human skin cells backwards to a point that is called induced pluripotent stem cells which are basically like they basically washed them or strip them of the idea that they were skin cells they took they rewound them all the way back to a point where they could say okay now your heart cells go make a heart science yeah you're cute because he's making that no you're making that up that's just weird hey I'm gonna rewind these cells as I said we're rewiring you we believe rewound these skin cells into cells that can be rewired to heart cells and go make yourselves into a heart right now like that's what they did I don't much naysay and say that you're speaking magic words that are true on this show it makes I feel like I'm speaking magic words but that is what happened that is what happened and they want to make their goal is now to make a full-sized heart at some point they want to make full-sized heart these stupid magic students it's been is this from Hogwarts sometimes guys science is really a lot like magic I honestly I think the whole rewinding the cells thing is could lead to a lot of stuff yeah well they so maybe they'll open that can of worms it's so and it's a great way to kind of like take cells that exist without having like because I know there's a lot of controversy around like embryonic stem cells like there's a big controversy there so scientists have been for a long time trying to find other ways to sort of make cells that can go without having to use embryos which is like very controversial there's ethical issues involved all this stuff so that's sort of the thing where they're like how do we not use those how do we find other ways to do this and this is one of those ways to do that I guess good super weird but you know guys one of these stories today wasn't true can you guess which one it was which one it was it was definitely portal alright guys we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back it's Tuesday I've got to tell you what movies are coming out this week cuz knows no video games and and of course we have your user feedback in our photog refer today so don't look away tomorrow daily welcome back to the show we've returned it's a tuesday which is always a great day because we get to tell you about some of the stuff that it could be or probably won't be emptying our wallets this is new releases so let's just let's just get this out of the way this is the thing that will not be emptying my wall this weekend pixels is coming out nope so I'm gonna go see this movie though I won't I wait for it to show up I'm like I don't know lifetime or something okay so subscribe moving marshals describe this movie and then I'll tell you why I'm saying it is there a way to describe to me so uh basically we sent a bunch of stuff in a space that had like a look at times capsule and some of it was video games and now aliens are back and they are literally video games like pac-man and pack a man is now as Adam Sandler says which made me very upset pac-man's a bad guy there he is right very same yeah a guy I hate it okay so here's the thing this movie was inspired by a internet video that came out I want to say like six years ago in which of like space invaders were attacking the city and turning everything into this digital thing yeah but the reason that I'm gonna see this movie even though I hate most of the cast's except for Peter Dinklage yeah he's gonna be doesn't Allah Peter Dinklage is because honestly this movie couldn't have existed in any other generation time like 10 years ago no but like it wasn't until now that Hollywood wasn't until now that gaming is accepted enough as something that we all understand that we can make a movie like this okay I'm and I know that's a really stupid way to like validate it but I'm gonna say this to you which is if it's a bad movie you're setting back video game movies like just like Super Mario Brothers people are really excited about that movie it ended up being a total mess and it was awful everyone knew it was bad and now Nintendo is like we're never making another video game adaptation movie ever again and all in like it's just it's set the precedent for like bat look bad video game movies and so for me it's like I don't want to see this I want to see a good video game movie well I'm not saying it Ralph that's a good video yeah exactly okay see that's what that's what I'm saying is that it isn't based on one video game its celebrating video games as a culture and I see what you're saying wreck-it Ralph did it right but I don't want the studios to be like oh this is a terrible movie so let's not make any more cool video game movies but if it succeeds I movie will not succeed would you like to bet on this can we bet on box office for pixels uh I'm gonna I'm not gonna be I'm gonna bet baby please placed on the box office 40 is that serious a 40 million yeah I'm gonna save an Adam Sandler movie people go see Adam Sam through in fact see Adam Sandler movies um I'm gonna say we'll see here's the thing i don't want to give a number out because i like I would rather say what number it'll come in at the box office I don't think it'll be number one at the box office I think it'll be I think we'll come in sir arthur there's like minions there's aunt me minions getting up man still yeah and then look I'm not validating this movie's existence I will not i'm in my mind saying okay at least hollywood is understanding that they're the people like video games it's excel let's make a game anna versatile movie about get and i like that because 10 years ago nobody was celebrated yeah we were yeah i guess so and then that's the only route and also because I probably would've gone to see cuz that that pac-man scenery goes up and he's like I'm your father good boy yeah yeah and then he bites his hand off oh it so what do you want me to do should i just go I want usually will see us a matinee and pay the least amount no I want you to go see this instead southpaw with jake gyllenhaal this is what you should go see this weekend if you wanted to see a good movie uh it's get down you know like it's a bit sad underdog story it's a boxing story apparently Jake Gyllenhaal so good in this they say he's like a lock for Best Actor nomination for an Oscar um this guy like Jake Gyllenhaal gonz such good shape for this movie that I think they said it took him he said it took like a year to get in shape for this mm did some of the soundtrack he's got like a new was it phenomenal the phenomenon I don't know I feel good name of the song is phenomenal I was right the first time and so yeah he plays a boxer and a pair it's really really good and people are raving about it his performance in this so if you want to spend your money this weekend go see this or if you like music I was going to say see what Kayla's gonna see you I'm actually gonna see this instead oh is it the next one it is ok so instead of seeing pixels I'm legitimately gonna see Amy this is the amy winehouse documentary it has like a ninety-eight percent on any of the review sites apparently it's amazing this is this was shown at South by I think and to just incredibly rave reviews yeah she's look look as much no matter what you think about her apparently she's just very misunderstood and this kind of breaks into sort of that sort of world and what someone who seems so tortured it's always great to kind of see inside that person no matter if you hate them or love them very interested in and she was a phenomenal musician yeah only he's a huge Amy Winehouse fan and so I'm really looking forward to seeing this ayat was actually battling whether i want to see train record this first both of which are train wrecks um no but I I really really really really really want to see this everyone that I saw walking out of the cuz I'm what's cooking it IA everyone walking out a theater was just like I didn't hear their actual conversation yeah of course they were thumbs up Inge and they were high-fiving and hugging each other yeah it was amazing you know this is a very polarizing um weekend for movies yes yeah there it's like man you got to make some choices okay so if you had to see one movie this weekend I would go see Amy uh pretty sure Logan Ant Man oh come on yeah that's fair enough enough and I would probably also be go see Amy so there you go I might see some maybe I'll see southpaw that's actually I really want to i'll go see pixels there's a two dollar theater down the street cause i guess then yeah i'll go there hours to the box office take the in a couple months that's a better idea to all right guys let's talk about you it's time for user feedback yeah I also I liked where that into two we actually that's I want to know what people how it's gonna stack up from this please tell us what movie you want to eat here in the you too because look I really YouTube comments even you jerks go ahead and tell us what you're gonna see there tell us our Q Street on us yeah okay so we asked you guys yesterday use the hashtag TV film VR to tell us what film upcoming movie you want a VR experience from and what would it be oh there's some good one so Frank wrote in and said pandora is meant to be explored using the rift pause the film and explore the surroundings avatar 2 that's a good one that is completely possible yeah because he waves it he filmed it in a very VR way he created this technology in which he has kind of like this tablet thing and they build the entire pandora world and he's able to use the camera as if he's looking through the world and film it like that I did it behind the scenes experience with james cameron and he showed that technology i was just like this is the future and then they haven't used it since oh this is so when he owns it maybe he owns that technology he's the only one I can use probably but now they have to do is just flip the switch and now you're in that world yeah great awesome will Rodin said a flyover of the city as the monsters from pixels as they destroy everything so there you go fly over the city it's good finally someone else you're skipping cozy pixels I don't know you're out now I'm not proud of the fact that I defended it in any way I know but I'm trying to make a very thin point okay that's going to fall apart or not after the box Rick writes in and says a VR experience for upcoming Sherlock Victorians special where you help Sherlock find clues to a case I like that it's like a hidden you knows hidden object games there's like fine stuff and they solve puzzles and things like that like that would be pretty cool I'd love honestly like the 7th guest or the 11th hour is like a VR game so scary one I don't know it was from like it was one of the old like trilobite games where you like yeah I was like games read like kind of go and you'd solve these puzzles and it was a real creepy house and I oh man so so so so good yeah you're very good yeah deep deep cuts guys you get gaming deep cuts for me all the time trolled trilobite games so welcome to 1992 and then then hey-soos wrote in and said it'd be cool to do a VR tour of the GQ tastic Batcave of bat vs bats vs oops including a bat wing and Batcave Joyride that definitely also seems like it could happen that seems like a go on the Batcave I feel like WB's and touch enough to kind of do something I definitely think so Warner brother seems like the kind of company you might take a risk but yeah so I'm really good also I still I still like that guy's idea from yesterday about having a date with Harley Quinn through VR that was my idea yeah that was definitely uh was his name it rhymed with kale anonymous I think it right says close that it doesn't sounds like all right anyway that's time for our last chance your feedback which is always our photog refer of the day alright so we got it we got a picture from Andy and this is something different than what we normally show I would usually with like landscape pictures well this flips it all around we have like a portrait almost there's a really good portrait picture so Andy wrote in and sent this lovely picture very artistic and said hi guys I took this picture last night at my husband and thought it turned out really well I took with my iphone 6 plus love the show keep up the great work why thanks I that's a great picture looks like it could be in an art gallery that's you need that on a billboard chart on my phone stop watching tomorrow daily and go get famous as a photographer yeah jeez Andy what are you doing with your life that's incredible that's a really good picture I love the lighting is the shadow as well and it's one of those ones where you can kind of like take your own like meaning from it yeah wow it's like a Rorschach test what do you see in that face what do you see in that look at it look at how well the definite ran except the skin I know I know I saw it this morning and I was just like okay Wow like that's that's why factor it's really good if you want to try to beat that or if you have your own amazing phone to our you want to send to us you can email us tomorrow at cnet com of course or you can find us on social media we're tomorrow daily on Twitter but really if you want to strike up a conversation with the show you want to come to us individually yeah come to us individually um and if you have you have any like conversations you want to have about pixels you can hit up at Ashley at Ashley's gala or you can taxi where you can hit up me at economic pixel conversations only yeah please no talk to Caleb out anything else unless you're Margot Robbie and you would like to go on a date yes please in which case please please please contact contact me and I will figure that out for kale oh man that would be amazing if you set me up on a brother I'll be your wingman cailabe I'm I'm an excellent wingman I just want to say all right on that note my friends are friends that is the end of the show we will be back tomorrow with a brand-new docket a weird wonderful science fact in science fiction blown up in your face and and doing all sorts of great things but until then be good humans and we'll see you next time you
