The TechnoBuffalo Show Episode #052 – HoloLens, Cortana and more!

2015-06-17
and welcome to episode 52 of the TechnoBuffalo show I'm lime your two hosts for today's Sean ani editor in chief of the site i'm joined by deputy managing editor Todd Hazelden everybody are you doing today Todd good good debt it's been a busy week yeah this is really busy with e3 i sent out the newsletter actually went out this morning but i was talking about it yesterday when i was when i was writing it and just going through all the gaming posts we've had half of III is incredible it's like its own several apple days in a row just the about muse well i think the problem this year was we had more press conferences than we've ever had before with Bethesda had its first one ever square joined in you know is it was crazy for a couple days there but now now we're just down to Joey and Eric are out there they're going to all their hands-on sessions you know which of course is the the fun but busy part of the thing actually John is on his way to e3 as we speak oh nice and Joey has no time in his schedule to even run by him and say hello I know um oh I was there jeez it was probably like five years ago now and just waiting in the lines and stuff like that to see things it's just it's crazy it's unlike any other show well luckily Joey has been part of the gaming industry long enough that he has actual appointments where'd they take him into little rooms for the hands-on sessions so he isn't waiting for the kiosks luckily right yeah that's awesome if he was we would be in deep trouble but uh but Joey will be on the show next week folks to go over all of his thoughts and feelings about III so definitely be sure to tune in through that nice today since we are the non-gaming guys yeah we're great we're going to touch a little bit on what's been going on at e3 although the first day I want mincha is hey here have a new Kindle paperwhite yes right this morning amazon announced a new kindle paperwhite out of out of nowhere display 300 pixels per inch Shh suji's twice as sharp as last year's model and it has a new font free what they're calling it hey I forget the name of it as well yes I was funny though was when you put the the post into the system I had been the Amazon just a little bit before that you know check out the affiliate system for the day and all that it was enough at that point yeah it literally just hit and I was like oh weird I'll write this like you know because back in the day I Rob viously when the first kindle came out and then the year after they would hold these press conferences you know like yeah everybody got excited about it now it's sort of just like you know here's some we're doing this we're going to continue doing this and here's a new model yeah well I have last year's paperwhite which I love yeah well I see no reason to upgrade this year it's not like a phone or whatever it's like if it's working for you it's working for you right exactly yeah but I'm glad amazon keep set that line going you know and there's no reason they shouldn't the number one selling e-reader right yeah but it's definitely doing better than the fire phone well we we do have a couple of topics we want to touch on today and Todd I I believe you did watch the hololens presentation at my watch part of it i want i was watching the minecraft stuff which was crazy yeah that was pretty much the only thing they showed right right and that was enough to break your brain yeah for those of you that didn't see it what they did was they they demonstrate that you could play Minecraft on a wall and they were using a camera that would show you hololens projections although people in the room could not see them right right so they started off playing on the wall and then the guy said let's move it to the table and using a voice command it moved to the table and I'll get to you in a say why I don't think it was pre-recorded demo there was a glitter but but it wasn't from the hololens so anyway the the Minecraft area projected on the table in three dimension and then he could moved around he could lift it up he could you zoom into the reason I don't think it was pre-recorded was because the woman playing along with him on the surface when she went to get in the mine cart she got stuck and you tell he was waiting on her like uh come on yeah can she wasn't jumping in the mine cart if she was taking forever to get in it so that's why I actually think it was a live demo which actually makes me happy because that means that was being rendered in real time right like it's it's there right yeah and here here's the whole thing I've been around the gaming industry since the colecovision days and so I've seen all sorts of peripherals come along and the hollands is not strictly a gaming peripheral let's be clear about that right more like a computer exactly but I've been around long enough that I've seen all these peripherals come and go and they always promise you the moon and then they deliver you tallahassee right you know I mean let's all take a look at the power glove the one of the most famous examples from Nintendo's 8-bit system days it was horrific alee bad it was just horrible I I bought one buying into the hype remember I was much younger that and then of course there was like the Sega CD system which attach to the Genesis it was horrible I mean there's been a number of peripherals over the years that have sucked right if the hololens can deliver even fifty sixty percent of what we've seen even that will be a game changer and I'm not making a pun ya know it's true i mean because they're you know the gaming is just a small component of what hollow ones can do because it's also full computing experience and i think that's what makes it so incredible and you know when you look at oculis and you look at some of the other ones they're awesome i can't wait for the final versions of those but i think in a lot of ways it's those are your consuming and interacting with the environment but i wouldn't say your computing all the time whereas hololens you know you're you're actually can actually do stuff not work Mahalo ins well i was on a skype call with ron duwell who's our writer from japan he's not at e3 so he and I were working remotely and he and I return fare okay so this is great for Minecraft that it's a prime example but what other potential gaming scenarios could you put this into becoming you're not going to play like a first-person shooter with it right but basically anything with a top-down mapping system would work perfectly with it and we thought about like the sims SimCity oh yeah even if you go back into some of Nintendo's old games and like a zelda a link to the past right starcraft 2 could even potentially work I there's a lot of Denny thing with a map based system civilization doesn't starcraft would be amazing you know the exact like troops and send them and what have I your living room for zerg rush coming at you all these was so terrifying I know I actually that kind of creeps me out to think about yeah at least bugs running on your floor but now I will say this the hololens you could tell that was a slightly redesigned head said he was wearing different than what we've seen before hmm not significantly but at least somewhat it's definitely getting out of the realm though of where it out walking on the street right right right right right I don't think that's we're gonna go with that yeah I mean and like I've said before and famously have said before that I would love assistance with reality augmented reality is definitely something I'm very intrigued by but it's I can't see myself wearing the hollands walking down the street to do right yeah it is more of like similar to the way you wear oculus but I mean I mean we're talking about virtual reality and then we're talking about augmented reality and so you know but I think they're both sort of you're sitting or maybe walking around a small room with microsoft's hololens but it's not like Google glass I don't you know now here's a really interesting comment from brazen Franco I don't know about you guys but I don't think hololens will be a thing compared to oculus well I actually I take the complete opposite view of it than you do breeze on I'll tell you why I think the fact that with the oculus you're completely shut off from the outside world in the sense of your sight I think that's going to be a detriment to virtual reality in general because it's going to get very you know people are going to trip over things people are you know are you making fun of me I think that virtual reality in journal via oculus project Morpheus any of those I think a lot of the problem is that does shut you off so much from the outside world and i think that people will be intrigued by it they'll use it but it will quickly go on a drawer with hololens i see a lot of potential beyond gaming i see a lot of other uses for it you know like they've demonstrated to us a television anywhere you go maps all sorts of things so i think that hololens has a lot more potential uses than sayin oculus rift yeah I think so too that's why I was sort of saying it's like a um it's not entirely a consumption sort of mechanism where oculus is just like I mean you are consumed right and then you're not only consuming it is consumed you which is kind of interesting I'm excited for them both but for totally different reasons I think oculus is just incredible the way you're really entering a whole other world almost whereas hololens I think it's different you know because you're still in this wall right right exactly so I don't know now of course the big question about hololens went or two big questions when is it coming Christ and the price yeah I don't the price that keeps sticking in my head and this is complete guess everyone complete yes this 499 oh wow I was going like 1,500 bucks I have no idea either that's a composite well I mean if they go 1,500 bucks there girl the Google guys category I know that's the trouble they have to be affordable yeah that's the whole thing I mean when they get to the consumer model I think it cannot go over 499 I just don't think it can um now and actually we have a question from such a Mahal somewhat related to this what do you think of the final version also known as consumer of the oculus rift and how much do you think it will cost 300 400 500 or a thousand or some other price also of the i key also at the oculus event there was no mention of facebook at all at the event that's true I Facebook owns them so now you've talked with the guys from oculus many times Todd I know they've never given you a definitive price but they were even given you a hint no they haven't given me a hint um HTC didn't either with the vibe which I consider a similar products in the sense that they're both virtual reality but they did say when I was with HTC and oculus of this to you got you need this computer and I think that's going to be I hope that's the bulk of the cost right like when you have the gear VR it's only 200 bucks because there's just like some plastic and it in your phones powering it and when you come to oculus sure there's the sensors on the outside there's all that kind of stuff the displays in the on the inside but your computer's doing the bulk of the work there so it's it's I think it's going to be split like you're probably going to spend a lot of money but also because you need that computer and then the oculus headset yeah I don't know what the it's going to end up costing I I think that's a lot of is that people got realized that these things are not going to be cheap yes it's great to dream about them and you know think about what they could potentially do but they're not going to be you're not going to find them on the shelves at Walmart yeah they're not for exactly they're not a budget it's not a budget system by any means I mean this is cutting-edge technology this didn't exist a year ago you know or two years ago um previous models of it did but you know so you got to be prepared to pay those kind of crisis right right well the second topic we want touch on this week was Cortana and you were talking to me yesterday Todd about the fact that Cortana is coming to the Xbox well yeah I just thought it was neat Microsoft has already said you know iOS and Android then yesterday microsoft said it will hit android next month which I'm excited for because I think Cortana is a really great voice engine it's just I don't wanna say unfortunately but it's unfortunately stuck on Windows Phone for the most part and and then soon coming to Windows 10 which is exciting and then and now to the xbox one and I thought wow this is this is really cool because you know we have our smartwatches now and our phones and the phone reminds us to do stuff through the SmartWatch but then you know when it's connected to your TV in your living room and then says like hey don't forget you got to go do this or something I thought that was pretty cool but well here's the thing though without the kinect attached to the X boxers no built-in microphone right job so this actually could give people a reason to ring connector connects I'll believe that when I see it right now the fact that Microsoft is selling the xbox without the kinect was sort of like what's the point yeah so I mean I'll still be interested to see how it interfaces but it's not gonna be for everyone unfortunately because of the whole connect debacle well can you d quarter I don't know because I didn't see it yesterday I was sort of just reading about it through the android announcement because they sort of combined Android next box born in the announcements reading sir can you just use a headphone though I mean like like we're doing right now it's a quick yes you yeah you you can plug in a headphone yeah right okay so I mean in some instances but i think it's it's not so much that I I thought that was cool you know like hey Cortana what's the weather or something like that on xbox which it is but it's more that you know I can do these things on my phone and then those come over to the Xbox sort of seamlessly and it's the story Microsoft's telling about Windows 10 everywhere even though there are different versions and skews technically it's still this idea that it's it's everywhere and in some cases parts of it are on you know soon other phones iOS and Android but yeah I was just actually yesterday installing the latest i don't know if i have the home here the latest build of windows 10 4 yeah i do on a 1520 I want to play with it windows 10 mobile maybe I wasn't so far I actually it just installed when I left yesterday but Microsoft promise they did like a lot of UI changes live stability they change Cortana they have a new one handed mode so there should be a lot of changes in this one in fact it's such a big update they uh if you were in the in the beta tester program it's called windows insider early which I was and you already installed that version of Windows 10 you now have to revert back to Windows 8.1 and then install this sorts it's kind of a jump through hoops took me a while but here we go just turned up yeah okay I'm excited to play with it so here yeah it'll definitely be interesting to see and we do have a question about Cortana here where did it go do they really got come up with a better way to look at these questions I think I see it from Sasha of the hall how is Cortana compared to Google name yes I did just found it what do you think about Microsoft is bringing court on to other platforms when they could just be the best on Windows Phone to help and compete with Google mansory that actually wasn't the question I was looking for bed works as well um so I think that bringing curtain to other platforms is smart because it might and well if it works this well on my iPhone it might must work even better on a Windows film right and they sort of mentality and plus it's it's about Windows 10 you like you you have it on your new laptop Cortana's there so why not have it on your phone to and bring that experience through everything but I'm not sure how well it's gonna work i'm excited you know is it how does it tap into the emails properly and all that on other platforms or is it just that it's pulling it from you know your desktop computer i'm not sure but i do have some complaints about it the other question was how does a comparative to Siri and Google now yeah Siri I have the iOS 9 beta obviously it's not meant for your everyday phone but I do that it it's she's not very good on that either and I know she's supposed to have improved and Google now always impresses me I saw an article yesterday not very good internationally which I wasn't actually aware of because I haven't used it that much internationally but the reason I like Google now so much is for when you when you try to grab that traffic information or points of interest it's all related from google maps which is obviously I think we could agree probably the best mapping South software out there dad Cortana is still pulling it in from I guess its here maps still I think or Bing or something and it's not good so the points of interest have always been sort of a weak point for me and that and it's still not great so I actually did try that and I've joked about this in the past but like you know remind me to get eggs at A&P and it put like some a and P airport in like some other state and I was like what am I ever gonna go there like what helli that's not a point of interest near me that I would be interested in like that doesn't even make it exit an airport so I wish it was sort of smarter with that kind of stuff oh really why would anyone get eggs in Anarchy right let's see scrambled eggs oh man I'm about to board if I only had a dozen eggs that's for me yeah it's just kind of like what I got say I was in Tahiti on my honeymoon and the airports there there were chickens running around inside so maybe you could get eggs yeah not something I've ever yeah I don't have the same regulations to the United States what else what I'm trying to think but in you know Cortana is pretty good it's good at all the sports and stuff like that and actually it has a card base in your face it's very similar to Google now a lot of instances to write well we're going to move on into questions which we've got a lot coming in and we thank you for that now folks I will worry I see a lot of e3 questions and while I've been involved in most of III todd has not been involved in very much at all right so meet us our gaming expert so we'll take some of the e3 questions but what we've been able to answer is in depth as say Joey will be able to next week right of course this this was the big news out of Microsoft and this question comes from such a ball is the upcoming backwards compatibility on the xbox one a welcome to additional feature or is it just men I think it is an extremely welcomed again it's something that should have been there since launch it's something that should have been there since launch on both systems mm-hmm I you know in this day and age the the idea that you can release a system that is not at least one generation backwards compatible to me is just wrong right you know I why can't it what was stopping it yeah exactly there were you know exactly i mean it's and it does have to do with emulation and all that sort of stuff that's fine but you have the technological ability and before the PlayStation 2 there wasn't backwards compatibility that that was something that's sony introduced to the world and it was a very welcomed addition to the world I mean before that we had always had like yo your Nintendo cartridge doesn't fit in your Super Nintendo right right here like like you know I can't or the stupidity of the fact that the Japanese cartridges were built slightly differently than the American cartridges so you couldn't slap a super famicom cartridge in your Super Nintendo without an adapter yes weird yeah it was it was stupid but whatever so yeah the backwards compatibility hasn't been with us that long but with microsoft announced in this is just per sec could have been there from the get-go right so while i think it's exciting that they've done this it also annoys me a little bit because it could have been there since launch day yeah it's frustrating yeah and that is what they're doing right it's like an emulator inside Lee it's like software ambition this yeah yeah what is that coming exactly I they didn't give an exact date it's just it's supposed to be sometimes couple months yeah I believe in the lifetime of Windows 10 right like hololens you're good yeah exactly but you know you look at now Sony they're gonna have to do it right because otherwise Microsoft is going to hold this over their head for until the next generation without question but will Sony do it we'll just have to find out uh from such an bahal as well hey sean has your pebble time so far AB honestly I love it but it's not that much more than the original pebble had the battery life is definitely worse that's mine and again last night after not really using yeah the seven days is bump because it's about five which is not bad but it's not the seven I was promised right yeah and and one day safer to steal like 10 and eight right like what what's changed makes it 10 I have no idea yeah none Daisy's nice uh from Britain Franco and this is actually something I've wanted to address for the past couple days can we all agree that Nintendo one and EA wasn't the most boring meaning what company one III of folks here's the thing and I don't agree with the concept of any one company winning III at the end of the day I think that the winners of the gamers right we have seen some amazing titles over the past couple days we've heard some great additions to the system's the gamers one to declare that any one company one III is just never made a lot of sense to me right you know that being said yeah an antenna had a great show I think that Nintendo kind of set the world on fire in the world of toy based games by announcing that skylanders and amiibo are teaming up mm-hmm that boggled my mind ah kudos to them but no I don't think that tenda what I will say that this EA definitely was not the most boring this year that award would go to Bethesda and we publicly said that on Sunday night and you know live for it but I think Bethesda it was and you have to give him some leeway because it was their first ever big conference presentation like that but it was pretty Snoozeville from the nav 9900 off topic why don't you try a live stream on periscope ones there's a couple reasons that we decided to do it through hangouts number one is it also transmits to our youtube channel at the same time as well as Todd and I when we record we actually record our audio separately he then emails me over his audio file and I combine the two and that's how you get the audio podcast but with this if anything should go wrong with those two audio files this is not as high quality but it gives me an emergency backup that I can strip the audio out of the video if it should ever need to be done we had to do that once on tech on the range right and that kind of convinced us that yeah we need to have a backup audio because in the world of technology something will go wrong at some point right always it always from such a Mahal when do you think hololens will be available for consumers to purchase and what do you think it will cost okay well we worry covered the cost thing but as Todd made a joke about a few moments ago it was it's announced for within the lifespan of Windows 10 yeah they say sit like you know like with Windows 10 or something which seems like could be years it could be launch day or it could be two years down the road yeah I don't think it'll don't know july 29th it's now they're thirds there's absolutely no way it's that day yeah none but no we really we have no clue as to what the release date is not a bit unfortunately oh let's see moving on from an F 9900 which III event do you like Microsoft or Sony I like them both I I thought Microsoft was a lot stronger than it has been the past couple years yeah I think Sony needs more exclusives definitely although they definitely it was very telling to me that a lot of companies came out and said and you'll get this first on Sony and you'll you'll get to do that first on Sony and that tells you that they know which platform is winning I'm sorry folks the numbers don't lie Sony is winning this generation at the moment by a considerable number yeah so it's nothing I guess what is it black ops right is going to be the the new black ops as a PhD ever well it's not going to be exclusive to ps4 bed it's going to get a lot of stuff first first first right right yeah it's going to get maps first dlc first beta first yeah all that sort of stuff so yeah I think it's pretty clear that uh Sony is getting a little bit further in the gaming industry at the moment from jason d 123 will windows app on android make a phone all join together Tata Syrian s voice interesting to see a phone for the three platforms what do you think I think that would be awesome it will never happen I'll never happen never I should actually androids is google now has voice is just for samsung but um what is it sound hound hound is pretty cool i was using that recently which is sort of just a standalone voice assistant or smart assistant on android still invaded but it's sort of like you know it's it's not made by any of them ya know it uh yeah i would be cool by all never happened uh from bridget Franco am I the only one disappointed on about Sony for announcing just one vita game during their conference funny story so Ron as I said lives in Japan and he and I were on skype the entire time and in Japan is quite common you you have very long train commute sir Ron does a lot of gaming on the train and throughout the entire Sony presentation I just kept hearing him mumble come on Vita that's something from veena come on Vita all throughout the conference I'm like Ron they'll get to Vita and then they like through one game for bdays like you told me they'd get to Vita I'm just like I don't control this rod yeah that's pretty sad yeah it does veena is a great little system I don't know why it hasn't caught on like the 3ds I mean the 3ds is huge yeah yeah I don't understand why the Vita doesn't get a lot more love from Sony but yeah PS or remote play stuff is awesome but I know it doesn't count as its own games but like that's the only reason I use it oh speaking of Sony you told me yesterday that you had something you wanted to share about the upcoming xperia phone for verizon oh that oh i was just saying this is the flagship that that sony should have launched in the first place they have the xperia z4 and then yesterday morning they announced the experience e4v for verizon which is it's basically the same phone but with a quad HD display instead of a 1080p screen so you get Snapdragon 810 you get the 20.7 megapixel camera and all that stuff but it's just like oh so you're able to do it but you don't do it until like Verizon comes and pushes you to do it which I thought was kind of weird I mean just sell it sell the Xperia z4 with a quad HD display why does it have last year's tech I mean which is sort of like what HTC to put the one m9 to it has 1080p screen which is I mean we've talked about it before 1080p looks fine whatever but like wired why it's flat it's not flagship tech exactly and so if you've gone and slapped it into a carrier exclusive phone all you're saying to all of us is that well yeah we could have done it on the other one but you weren't deserving right and like we bout to verizon's commands because we don't have any relationships with US carriers I mean last time sony launched the 3v last year excuse me it was like a plastic version of light it was like a z2 plus it wasn't even as good as his III and then this year and what the other way so last year it was like inferior and this year its superior you just you don't go and make a carrier exclusive better than your flagship that makes no sense no I know it just it's really sorry yeah I I don't get it but I I'm excited to see it even yeah I mean someone else's number its water proof they say and all that kind of stuff which is crazy sorry I was going through the documents and and everybody says like waterproof and all that and they really mean and they shouldnt like you know you see the TV commercials and stuff people are jumping in pools with their phones what they really mean is fresh water proof so like in the sink you know in a lake but UK like it they always say in a small print like don't go in a chlorine swimming pool don't go in salt water all kinds of stuff and I feel like consumers don't really know that there's probably an article they're more likely because that I actually did not know that about the salt water yeah I guess because it conducts electricity a little ah good to know because you know I terror it's more corrosive I don't know I just tend to dive into oceans with my phones but uh I go fishing in them and I have brought out in waterproof phones out and that that's exactly that's something you should know yeah but it's definitely not something they make clear now interesting from such a Mahal I currently have an xbox 360 and I've been thinking about getting an xbox one for a while now and the announcement that microsoft made convinced me even more to want to get one when would be the right time to buy one this year from now until holiday 2015 honestly at this stage of the year you don't by any major electronic really until black friday starts rolling around yeah the big sales the lot to counter that argument I'd say the sooner the better cm more time to enjoy that's true now and on the gaming consoles in particular you may not see a huge price drop them but you a lot of times you'll see them come with one two even three game packets right on these puzzles yeah so you get a lot more bang for your buck if you wait till the holiday season on the gaming consoles so if you can hold out that long I would wait till the holiday season without question from brazen Franco speaking of carrier exclusives widely you why the US carriers exclusives are a common thing to do because the carrier's throw a bunch of money at the phone companies and say make us a fun yeah and like we want you know we want this to be our flagship and to attract people into our stores because the idea at least with them trying to think I think it was like the HTC cha-cha-cha which was the AT&T facebook phone with the facebook button it might've been the salsa whatever it was the United States they put it in the in you know they're like this is our flagship but they put the store window because I hope people you know walking by on the streets like I've never seen that verizon's and carry that phone you go and of course that phone failed but that's the idea especially with the exclusive colors and stuff like that too I that's like you know best buy i'll have like the blue HTC One m8 mm you know and you have to go to best buy to get it I i will tell the story very carefully because i don't want to identify any of the parties that were involved by i once there was once a phone that came out that i thought was incredibly stupid that even existed was it the fire phone no we probably trust so i'm at a CES party and i run into someone i know fairly well from the manufacturer of that phone and i am what were you guys thinking what was I put that funny goes that wasn't our idea yeah the carrier asked us for that I was like getting me he's like oh no they came to us and asked for that phone yeah that's the other thing that happens I was like wow that's not good maybe you shouldn't do that again but they also control the names a lot of times 2 which is which can be sort of confusing yeah yeah exactly so a lot of times when you see phones out there you have to think twice yo E you may go oh that's such an odd phone to exist why'd they do may have been the carrier that asked for it mm-hmm especially if it's exclusive to a carrier right at a very very early case of the z4 p I mean that's pretty cool Verizon customers at least they have an option that's nice yeah from an Ave 9900 why doesn't technical get III event try for next year we we are at the point where we are discussing doing events but it's a logistics thing especially since we're so spread out as you all know yes John's on irvine california and Brandon Roy Ralph Ron and marker with him but then you have Todd and Jacob in New York I'm in Missouri Joey's in Delaware Ron's in California Erickson Michigan or Minnesota and so we're very spread out but it is something that we've started discussing doing down the road when I have no idea right but keep an eye out I I'm sure we will announce something at some point in the in the future just not sure if it's distant or near from brazen Franco no 1s it yet so I'll do it this week what have you returned this week Todd nothing I haven't tried to think I think it's been one of those weeks where I haven't really left my apartment which means it's a busy week so I've been returned anything haven't really left the seat of sitting him yeah for those that don't know I live on a large piece of property which is out in the woods but I have been known to go as long as two weeks without stepping foot off my property I believe it now now I do I walk between the buildings so I do go outside I just don't walk off of my property yeah I have in weeks we're the only place I go is to the starbucks at the bottom of my building which is bad well are you going to hell are you going to ask them to open an extension on your floor if they should well that's why I'm excited here's more relevant news yesterday starbucks announced they're spreading the the ordering system mobile ordering to some odd thousand you look at 3,400 3400 occasions I think which is cool because you can just order your drinks from your phone and it'll stay like estimate time to pick up like you know six seven minutes and then you just walk into starbucks and go right to the pick up cap the only problem for me that's convenient because I'd order right now and go downstairs and pick it up the problem for me is I use a refillable cup so they can't wrap my coffee way and all I ever get is black yo pike place or whatever yes those real quickly yeah I guess I once had a guy at a Vegas starbucks I walked up in order that the cashier KY looking he goes that's all I was like yeah egg next guy in line looked at me goes as the simplest starbucks order i think i've ever heard of my life and like I just want black coffee but yeah oh I get some similar I just get I get the ice black coffee socially but I put them open it I just I'm sorry I just like buy coffee from such and haul are any of you guys going to get an oculus rift project Morpheus headset or valves VR headset when it comes out not until I get to try one and see if I even have any interest in it mine's gonna be about the killer games or something like I want I've said this for a while there I want this big like mm oh I can explore any like a world of warcraft or something and it seems like that's gonna take a little while yeah now i'll probably wait for bid now project Morpheus has support for no man's sky the space exploration game yeah I might be sold real fast yeah because that looks so awesome uh yes Jason we like you we had a question like it's not that question a jason d 123 one so if we like him yes we we like you Jason um let's see here from Bray's Franco how many of the trailers gameplay presented during e3 do you think our or do you think our trusty real representation of the final product I already flagged every you be soft game okay for those that don't know over the past couple of years there has been a real problem with the company's juicing up their trailers that they show at e3 the most famous example the past couple years of course is aliens colonial Marines which was nothing as good as what we were shown and there actually was a class-action lawsuit filed over that and the class one it was pretty horrific Lee obvious that they had messed with it so a lot of trailers are in question there's been a lot of questions over the past couple years now I will say this Joey just recently this morning turned in his hands on with Assassin's Creed syndicate which as we all see which as we all know Assassin's Creed unity was a complete and utter train wreck Joey really it was and joey is a very very critical gamer and he actually reached out to me last night shortly after he had played syndicate and he goes I think they listened to every criticism from last year he says it's highly more stable and by no means is this qualifies or review folks so please don't take it that right but he said it was far more stable it was the most stable Assassin's Creed demo he is played at an e3 in years and pastures he's seen characters glitch out pops framerate drops everything else he saw none of that this year so I that's not to say that there hasn't been some tweaking to the trailers this year but I think a lot of the companies have learned their lesson especially with the threat of lawsuits hanging over their head that one has now been lost so I'm still I'm not going to say that everything was 100% truthful but I don't think it's anywhere as bad as it used to be all right we've got for one more question here so let me just jump on them did you do oh this is a great point I saw a lot of this on Twitter from brazen Franco feeling bad for all those who sold their entire 360 collection to move on to the next gen yeah that's a former that is a huge better I saw several tweets like that after the announcement the other night I luckily I I went through one stage where I sold off almost every gaming system i had but this was a long time ago but since the PlayStation 2 days when the ps3 and the xbox 360 came out i decided to always keep one generation back as well because there's still decent games and i just didn't see the point i wasn't going to get that much form so why not keep him ran and played the games that i liked that being said I still have a dreamcast I still have a super nintendo yeah for those those folks that sold off all their 360 games I feel for you that sucks big time well that is going to bring today to a close do check out the site a little bit later we are going to be have
