yeah should work now there you go hey welcome to the wine show ah sorry about that so you know what this is what happens when I leave you in charge Wow I think that's the only reasonable explanation I think this is what happens when you leave the line effective screw as responsible for anything technical pretty much ever no I think this is there we need to stream something well that's fine well just uh you know we'll use a Streamy cart instead of our streaming PC that's dedicated but never works and it's needed a reformat for months that's no big deal this is roll this over and then not set up an audio solution if this is what happens when I leave you in charge yeah any of the software needed to make thumbnails or pretty much anything at all we're live you know what's hilarious is we actually did a sponsored livestream for this product it's called the go XLR Kasab's and it just completely saved our bacon because we didn't have the drivers for our focus right thing on the one stream machine and then we had this we've had this ongoing issue with the other one where it just hasn't been stable like we've been dropping babies for some reason very weird ways yeah so basically I I blame Jake I really want to turn these headphones okay that was easy yay and oh oh they actually I shouldn't oh I need to know I need to know if the swear button works hey Luke so we're gonna find out if that work oh boy we've got a great show for you guys today it's gonna be a little late it's probably gonna do a little short because I have big news I am finally starting the interviews for the writing position for Linus tech tips actually the couple of writing positions that we're hiring for so I've taken me a long time to get through all the applications there were a freaking ton of them I actually not all the way through but I'm stack up and read what I'm at mm well people must want to work okay so the way that I the way that I got a couple hundred was that in order to even make it to my inbox you had to raise a couple hundred got to you a complete sample script okay okay oh yeah oh yeah that I was like I was like there's something we're off every single one of them has already invested hours into their application at least assuming that they expect to have any chance whatsoever Wow yeah yeah it makes sense I'm interviewing anywhere between anywhere between 15 and 20 of them I thought you meant you got that many like resumes oh yeah well we didn't even accept resumes until people answered the skill testing questions okay and then once they submitted their initial application we sent them back a package that was like here is all the work that you have to do in order to even apply and I mean the idea is like you're trying to filter out the people that just write that into it right up that seems like a lot of work well you know what working here's a lot of work so you did that to me I did yeah I actually I had to find that email I'm not even gonna go into why but I had to find that email recently I would love to know why us tag stuff I had okay yes this I had to figure out this part was easy I had to figure out the names of all the employers that I had from 2010 to 2016 so I had to figure out when I started working with it yeah god it wasn't an employer relationship but they're still interested in that right and I had to figure out when I was working at Canada bread factory whether or not that was whatever that doesn't matter the next thing was I had to figure out all of the entry and exit dates of me into the u.s. between 2010 and 2016 it's funny cuz like 2010 packs 2011 tax 2012 packs 2013 everywhere 2014 a complete mess after that the first few years were so easy and then Oh buster Oh anyway so let's get into some tech news that's kind of our new year's resolution for the land shows first and then we will we'll talk because we got stuff to talk about actually um yeah I that the coolest project ever oh yeah really don't miss this video because it's it's it's really cool anyway I will oh yeah what are we doing yep for Nate's success like two months of crush time at Epic Games uh 20 million PC gamers projected to switch to consoles by 2020 to modify have anything to say about it and to the 2021 Intel roadmap has potentially leaked alright let's roll that intro assuming that it's here oh oh boy oh is it boy it's at the end uh I don't I don't know if it's playing should wait price that this is not visible huh it is probably just white oh is it not transparent wait but order move up no no I would just maybe go to properties and restart it properties oh wait no not loop loop should work no restart restart playback but yeah no this should be right no no no it doesn't that's yeah probably doesn't have it man no okay ah brought to you by madrina a coach dropping it oh wow no none of these are working not dying in a swarm that's not working brought to you by displayed moss and madrina is that oh boy hey oh boy the setup loose our lower third isn't here either perfection yeah our lower thirds not here this is this is great um you know what it's fine that's wait no this is mad this is not even hahaha is the intro gonna work yeah so you know that stupid thing where you've got a network drive and it's just X Tov even though soon as you double-click it like zero latency boomer goes right in all I had to do was do that and I bet the in troll play okay hold on it's on no no mmm that's not working well we got part of the way there pre-order a water bottle LTT store comm yeah all right let's let's get into our first big news of the week for tonight's success led to months of crunch at Epic Games now you know some people in the game development industry don't you okay so let's first let's talk about what the situation is like in Epic Games and then why don't we talk about what we know about working in the games industry in general and okay so basically this was originally posted up by polygon and was supposed to be Luke 7 inch on the forum and in a nutshell fortnight's explosive growth like the thing is every game company hopes that their game is going to be the next insert you know pub G that bejeweled it's something that tangles something that like really explodes and they're basically just printing money anyway but that doesn't mean that they're necessarily prepared for it and the thing is is that you might think okay well you built the game now basically it's all gravy then right tune but it is not that simple and for tonight for Fernet in particular for a couple of reasons number one is as the game scales their infrastructure has to scale in is that even in a linear manner or would it have to scale there more probably scaler more especially because they're gonna get attacked right yeah furthermore because it's a free-to-play model game it's not like you just ship it burn it to a CD put it in the mail to the customer and you're done especially with for tonight they're releasing new content they're editing the map they're doing all this stuff constantly so basically what what the what the report says is that for tonight's explosive growth led to months of intense crunch and intense crunch is no like the gaming industry is no stranger to intense crunch when you're coming up again a major patch or an expansion a big DLC or I mean of course the launch of the game when we were at monolith they were saying that like the number of people in that studio then when they were working on DLCs and stuff was nothing compared to the number of people that were crammed into that place in the weeks leading up to the launch just finishing up all those last-minute things but normally that doesn't happen indefinitely with no light at the end of the tunnel so they're saying it led to months of intense crunch for epic employees and contractors some of whom said they felt extreme pressure to work grueling hours to maintain for tonight's success and profitability resulting in a toxic stressful environment at the company I also believe only contract staff were paid overtime so while officially voluntary working overtime was basically like an expected service to the company this is this is what is being reported at the very least now contract staff say they were paid overtime but some employees reported suffering health issues after working consecutive months of 70 hour weeks I mean put that in context assuming that you're working five days that would be 14 hours a day you're basically going home collapsing in your bed getting up and going to work and you might say well yeah all you do is sit at a computer well for one thing no not necessarily yeah I mean that monolith in particular did you know that they actually have their game developers go into their motion cap room and like apparently so that's actually super cool I know right yeah yeah yeah so the reasoning for that is because they don't want the armor and stuff that they can't be wearing during the mocap to clip yeah so the game developers know that so they'll like change things to make it work super cool and so mocap actors wouldn't be able to compensate for like I'm like this jacked dude doing this move you know how do my muscles not clip on my other giant muscles you know so they can make sure that they do it and some of them were actually like really good you got training yeah so I bet you they did specifically for that so yeah those guys don't specifically sit at a desk and furthermore sitting at a desk is mentally fatiguing in a way that people who haven't had a desk job might not actually when you're fat I'm solving all day and creating things all day so this is a quote from one employee I work an average of 70 hours a week there's probably at least 50 to a hundred other people at Epic working those hours and I know people who pull 100 hour weeks just like okay the company gives us unlimited time off but it's almost impossible to take that time if I take time off the workload falls on other people and no one wants to be that guy so back to what we were discussing about what the what the free-to-play model means for game developers in general games as a service sort of creates this constant refresh of deadlines it's kind of like working here so you launch a video at noon that day or whatever and it's like you pressed live and you're like okay major technical issues how's the audience sentiment okay crunch time is all the time and the biggest problem is that they're patching all the time the executives are focused on keeping fortnight popular for as long as possible because I'm sure that they're smart enough okay not every executive is smart enough but I'm sure I'm sure they have an executive that's smart enough I'm sure Sweeney knows to know that no game stays dominant forever it doesn't happen that's not a thing that exists so it's all about making hay while the sun's shining if you can make 3 4 5 billion dollars on just 18 months of popularity that's your chance it's not like you can pace yourself and be like ok we're gonna take it easy we're gonna make our 2 billion dollars and then we'll make the other 3 billion dollars down you might not get a chant you know it might not get a crack at that so we're not allowed to spend time on anything if something breaks a weapon we can't just turn that weapon off and fix it in the next patch it must be fixed immediately and all the while we still have to be working next week's pageant and you think about like how disruptive that would be to your workflow like for example like a real-time operating system for example if you have like that's why if you ever wondered why you click something sometimes in Windows say and your click doesn't register and you go well like a click is the simplest thing ever how is there a delay on that it's because Windows is not a real-time operating system those do exist they're mostly for embedded systems things like medical devices and for things like that where timing is absolutely critical when that input happens the response is triggered but what that means is any other background processes boom that interrupted done you're done and for something like something complex like Windows it doesn't work that way so you can end up with a significant backlog in anything that's going on in the background if you interrupt it that's exactly so that's why anything that you know normal people interact with just can't work that way because it's so disruptive it's a bad bad analogy terrible analogy I actually don't care the point is getting interrupted sucks yeah I feel like you just are really into real-time operating systems yeah how far well how far off was I I mean Oh on that no it was finally now just fine yeah good I just felt like I went too far into them I feel like you kind of like made it work but it works thanks yeah thanks bro yeah no worries um speaking of making things another you make that shirt work thank you you can't see my nipples there's a little weird we were kind of you know like low nipples then another thing that I noticed in here is it says that contract staff were paid overtime it specifically says that right so I suspect salary staff were not paid overtime that being said I do suspect in all fairness that the salary staff are gonna be getting wicked bonuses especially with fortnight raking it in I hope so you might hope that but it's not always a guarantee so epic did make a statement people are working very hard on fortnight and other epic efforts extreme situations such as 100 hour work weeks are incredibly rare and in those instances we seek to immediately remedy them to avoid recurrence but they are acknowledging that someone might work a 100 hour workweek yeah on what planet does that make any sense even at your worst I don't think like you would have been anywhere near that I've been over that when really really early with the Titan launch and the forum at the same time okay right okay so okay it's been very infrequent whatever and that was you also didn't tell me - it's mostly me being like I want to do these things so that was fine I'm not complaining to be clear I didn't know that you worked that many hours that week anyway salaried positions and actually just so you guys know we work salary here at Linus Media Group so salary positions do come with the expectation that from time to time you're getting it done with that said the flip side the the employers side of that sort of arrangement is for the people that put in those hours for the people that are the the star pupils in the class hey there's some kind of a reward for that so that it reflects back or there should be a bonus actually something that that time should be recognized in competitions everything everything should be recognized and dealt with accordingly now the other thing that is just kind of a you know usually you won't find an employment contract or anything but the other thing that we see as part of the responsibility of both the employee and the employer is making sure that everyone's being reasonable I'm communicating about stuff so we'll see people working too many hours sometimes and we'll say hey um good job gold star appreciate the effort obviously I'm not gonna tell you off for it um thanks but like hey maybe you should go home and spend some time there you know especially for it so one thing I'll throw and I've been doing a lot of interviews lately and people been asking me about the work culture that we have because that's a big problem in the software development industry right as we're talking about literally right now but we just got turned off hey it looks like like kind of dramatic yeah that back on is is very few people have left - me feel like we're like being interviewed I'm cool with it this feels like 60 minutes or something I'm down I'm into it yeah do it sweet but yeah like very few people have left and I think that's a culture that - media group and floatplane both want to continue and in doing that you don't really want to abuse your people all the time both planes have some pretty brutal crunches I like to think that they weren't super long but there have been some pretty brutal brutal crunches there's like sort of one going on right now with with especially one specific guy on the team but his thing is almost done and he's pushing through it's gonna be good yeah you guys are still in like very much start-up mode I mean the thing is is like it's yeah it's it's complicated because on the one hand you know the people work really hard and that's like amazing but on the other hand we are like Yvonne was telling me the numbers for how far underwater we are on the project I was like oh cool the good news though and this is this is really exciting is sorry dang it we're doing floatplane news again I swear we'll do a real tech topic after this yeah the good news though is that you guys are how close to launching the new transcode and just very close it's been like supposed to be out this week sort of maybe every week for the last while but there's been with very legitimate reasons that it's been delayed right and we're trying to release something that's good and stable and stuff right now it's like the majority of its in prod just not activated and there's just like in prod means it's on the production server like yes live yeah it's just not being used it's there though and it's ready they didn't I mean hasn't really been turned on but it didn't break anything which is great and we're like extremely close to putting alive it just the confidence level isn't quite there and there's a few little problems still to be cleaned up so yeah I'm getting to the point where I'm like thinking of reaching out to a few people specifically and being like hey you might want to get ready cuz we're there and the good news is once we start bringing creators on the situation should change very very very quickly just be hemorrhaging money yeah we've seen I mean I wouldn't call it hemorrhaging the project has been running for two years yeah and like the bleed rate keeps going up you know which is kind of not the direction you want that to go in but it's sort of it's hiring people though which is like the problem by the teams in a really good spot right now I'm really happy with everyone that's on the team and I think we're doing great things currently and if I didn't do that and we didn't hire more people and start losing more money I think the project would be in a way worse spot and we'd have like never launched kind of issues we should talk more about like some of the some of the like milestones that we've hit in the last little bit like during the during the roast anyway but first we're gonna do some more news topics because we owe you guys that so here's an exact speed on the on the forum and it's based on some a john petty research TV gaming market study so according to their latest report more and more PC gamers will probably shift to consoles for a couple of reasons one increasing GPU or graphics card prices to the inclusion of PC specific features like 4k and ray tracing in next-gen consoles including keyboard and mouse support variable refresh rate and high refresh rate using HDMI 2.1 streaming surfaces services like Google stadia and the new all digital Xbox 1s they're saying the coming of 5g will only bolster this new segment that I am sort of wondering what the um and they're saying that the majority of this will come from the low end so under thousand dollar full build cost so in my opinion this is this is almost moot I know there's a difference yeah but we're getting the the more we progress the more they're just fairly cost effective pre-built pcs that are limited to only doing certain things and like literally everything that he just listed like yeah I can use that keyboard and mouse variable refresh rate it's like okay it's computer thank you so I guess what you're trying to say is at what point do we just call it PC gaming and stop pretending yeah I see like I I'm actually going to try to defend that argument a little bit because I think it's more actually phones and laptops and stuff that are actually causing this change if PlayStation games store what like you got your steam yeah you play oh just put it on the PlayStation that would be amazing why don't we just not lishus that would be the only game store that I would happily invite you know like every game so it's like oh another one like why don't you suck around and just call it what it is yeah call it a computer give me a graphics options like do it heck yeah Oh that'd be super cool I remember laying into that number forever ago when I had my like console drive idea oh yeah yeah you take like an old console and just like insert it into the front of the computer and you want it to like mod it so that it you could put like a nest like a nest classic or like nest minier like some kind of thing into it and then the controllers were gonna be hooked up into like the thing in the back or something right yeah it there was I had that idea of just doing it myself actually but the reason why I came with that idea was cuz what I was like pitching pseudo pitching was that I wanted them to make like basically super premium blu-ray drives for PC that were just branded Xbox and PlayStation that just random freaking games through your own computer so it's just a DRM scheme yes Hardware deer whatever you own everything whatever look I'll pay I so have you ever pitched that on wine show before yes this but this was years ago I didn't even I didn't even remember that exact but that mace was either garage or like early old house it still makes so much sense to just because compared to pings know how much just a one ask cost anyway like I think a 1x is like 400 bucks or 500 I think I want us just like 350 I want to say can't remember um 300 bucks or 1s but 1s isn't even the newest one right okay but no I just mean the basic one so the 1s isn't that is the basic yeah so would you pay 250 for a DRM drive that just slips on the front of your thing and then you can play my do Microsoft is moving towards making Xbox games Microsoft is starting to sort of solve this so a ps4 Drive ps4 Drive honestly I probably would cuz there's a huge amount of ps4 exclusives that are super cool I borrowed the the works ps4 for a fairly long time I had it for over a year I forgot we even had one I like I like own a decent number of ps4 games because there was a lot of a really cool single-player RPGs that came out on ps4 God of War was amazing I remember that might have been on both consoles but there was also a bunch that were specific I could be wrong I think God of War might be both but there was a number of ps4 only ones that were also supercool never played a God of War game would like to just play that one just the first one no that's not me no there's like rebrand it's just called God of War but that's the newest one okay it's super super good Oh like a reboot kind of thing I think so Tomb Raider it's quite different than the old guys as far as I know I didn't play the God of War Games all that much the old kenji the uke is asking for an update on the bottles so if you ordered one in the first I think it was 500 then it's either shipped or shipping very soon because those ones were actually sitting in the warehouse ready to rock yeah if you're one of the hundreds of other people who remember guys there is a message on there that says it's a pre-order those are on the boat now otherwise we wouldn't have taken pre-orders we wouldn't take pre-orders on anything that's not shipping now so those are on the boat now they should be here in about three weeks if they are a little bit later I apologize in advance I'm sorry we are actually really new to the whole physical merchandise thing we're trying really hard but there's a learning curve actually did you know that Lloyd is in China right now yeah yeah so he's he's running around at a bunch of like major like manufacturer affairs and he sent me back pictures of some sandals obviously we would customize them like like balls out customize them but would you wear an LT team answer yeah see I was telling I was I was talking to my wife about it sorry you know my wife you guys all know her name I forget I can always forget that she's like hosted teklynx yeah I was like out there so good I was talking to be fond about it and she was like I don't know sounds like what don't you know like a dad sandal yeah oh man have you awesome and and people are like yes yes socks would socks is are gonna happen this go there's going to be a call this is not shipped yet nevermind I'm not gonna talk about this that's um he's gonna be a combo also I was wrong it's a god of War's only on PlayStation so there's another example I knew a gaming thing that we got a play a no again this is fun so we'll talk about it later okay you know what sponsors done will do one more news topic and then we can actually talk about stuff okay so we need to talk about Anna we need to talk about the streaming the the roasts we need to talk about what else was like stuff we actually wanted to talk about yeah alright we'll do one more topic one more topic and then we'll jump into the news so Intel's 20 21 roadmap apparently leaked so this is over on hexxus net and apparently tweakers on net claims that these roadmaps came from a dell presentation earlier this year so on mobile we're going to be looking at comet Lake h-series offering up to 8 and 10 core processors on 14 nanometer 14 ooh 14:10 core on mobile what the whole thing is really fun wait comment like each do they mean like the like the the mobile age chips surely they couldn't that doesn't make any sense no that no that's got to be that's got to be consumer hold on a second I got to bring this up that can't be right that cannot be right okay here are the pictures a little small it's little tiny you might want to open it says click to zoom but it doesn't work thanks Texas you tried all right you series H holy balls that does actually appear to be the plan ah yep that's 45 watt to 65 watt BGA that is a big problem holy balls that apparently series oh sorry sorry guys thanks for Pinscher my bad wow that seems like a terrible plan yeah especially have you seen well they're just kind of screwed right now have you seen some of them to use mobile stuff lately mm-hmm they actually have some legitimate looking mobile devices coming down the pipe like we've got one from Lenovo on the shelf over there for a review that we're like wow this is like a sexy AMD laptop in a long time hey never mind long time never when did AMD make any sense in Mobile Terry on you're kidding me but it's still gonna drive me nuts I oh yeah it's been extremely long time I I remember like even when I used to work at Best Buy way way way way back the AMD options were the cheap crappy ones in terms of laptop I've had time desktop they're actually pretty easy but yeah oh sorry people are people are upset about what we were saying when we were looking at the other roadmap basically 10 cor 14 nanometer it's nuts because there's there's no power savings or like a nominal one so all they're doing is just stuffing more power-hungry cores into this thing so all they're doing is playing around with the turbo boosts and hoping that the notebook manufacturers can figure out how to cool the bloody things I could be wrong and someone at Intel might be able to explain their way through this but it feels like they're trying to throw some interesting numbers out there to keep people buying things while they try to figure out their manufacturing process problems it seems that way but like apparently they just don't think they're gonna have it figured out why like they've got 10 nanometer stuff coming but only you series so H series is not getting any 10 nanometer until at least 2021 that's nuts that's um that's funny who's this Frodo Nuggets on the on flow plane says you guys should make a holy balls shirt we did a long time ago happily and there's a cat on ya probably won't happen again didn't it's all very fun no that's what happens when you catchphrase kind of sucks speaking of actually we're speaking of actually where that do you guys like having this whole thing or would you prefer I got a mirror up here just this logo but like over here okay so for context we've discussed it internally this was the plan this was the design we all agreed on yeah and then we got it and we were like it looks a very internet startup it really does it's straight out of Silicon Valley yep hi wow people are saying they love it but remember this is like let's chat maybe we should probably talk to YouTube chat we need an objective analysis of the design here Wow YouTube chat moves so fast I should be doing straw bull see it through do strong yeah you know what why don't you prepare straw pull well I lied it's the logo in the corner and how it is now those two options yeah sure okay alright yeah let's just do two options Oh so today's video is brought to you by mas backpacks oh hey where's my backpack Hey look at that I don't even have to use the sponsor here's my backpack I like it I use it all the time I think that's a pretty good I could afford a different backpack but I don't because I really like this one this is the old one it doesn't have all the features of the new one but um I like this one better actually I don't I just like the color because the samples they send the new ones are black so yeah so this is the new one it's black it's all stealthy it's the black pack but it's the black pack black pack yeah a backpack I don't see where they were going with that backpack this is it like do you think they intended it to be a pun oh maybe cuz it's a backpack that's black whoa crazy anyway they also have the Grande a version of it that fits up to a 17 inch laptop they're made out of 300 nylon for the exterior and 1000d nylon for the interior for water resistance and the black pack fits back laptops up to fifteen point six inches they're made uh that one's made of ballistic nylon that gives it abrasion and tear resistance it's got a built-in rain fly to provide extra padding for your electronics when not in use that doesn't make any sense but whatever it's good I like it both of them come with mounting for the water resistance reach C reach plus power adapters and a five-year warranty can get the resin off their current stock until it's gone limited quantities at the link right there um I'm pretty sure the rain thing is because I used to have one is a cover that you take out and put over your bag but that doesn't provide extra padding a separate talking point that oh the package oh I bet you what that is is when you put it back if it's not raining and it's in the bag it probably provides padding got it just don't get used to just throwing your bag down yeah when it's in there and then have it on it'd be a rainy day you put it on you toss it also

other news topics that we have - uh that we have to do I don't think so this is pretty cool Vega finally beats our TX folks again so this was posted by blue jay 6:14 on the forum the original sources WCC F Tech AMD's rx Vega 64 apparently outperformed the r-tx 2080 by up to 20% in the Vulcan enabled game World War Z the benchmarks were conducted with the overclocked Cora 9 900k at 5.2 gigahertz this is to eliminate any possible bottlenecking it drives me freaking crazy when people in the comments flip out about you guys are using overclocked CPU your results aren't realistic okay the reason is that you're trying to alleviate bottlenecks elsewhere in the system so you can see the maximum potential difference in performance between the components you're actually trying to test anyway at 1920 by 1080 with Vulcan enabled AMD managed to take all three top spots with the tradie on 7 Vegas 64 liquid-cooled and Vegas 64 and the Vegas 64 outpaced the r-tx 20 atti despite costing half as much NVIDIA closed the gap at 1440p at 4k there still isn't blah blah blah blah blah basically it's one game if we were to take like Intel's performance in counter-strike source as like an overall indication of intel's dominance in gaming performance we would be silly because cued yeah we skew you know what Intel outperforms AMG by like 30 40 percent it doesn't actually yes yes source yes go yeah may or may not be specifically the Vulcanus of it I mean it's an it's a neat headline that I'll probably wouldn't read too much into it if you know if you have seen that headline until we start seeing Vulcan across a broad sampling of games giving AMD that kind of a performance advantage yeah I probably wouldn't read too much into it LTX yeah what about it there's less than 40 BYOC tickets left so if you want to bring your own computer and show up at the event and have a land center thing and all that kind of fun stuff give freaking ticket cuz you're running at a time also volunteers they want people to apply to volunteer I believe that's in the description down below if you want to check that out if you're not on Twitch and they will be getting back to current applicants in May if you're wondering why you haven't received a a response yet and also if you bought a ticket and want to volunteer they'll refund your ticket oh really cool apparently so the way we're structuring things is that either an lmg member or brand partner will be managing the overall operation of a booth and then volunteers will help as needed to make the area a success so we're looking for between 60 to 80 talented volunteers in total we've already got twenty shifts will be either one eight-hour day and then with one day to enjoy the show or a four hour shift each day and then time to take part in the Expo for the other half of the day duties will include scanning tickets handing swag out recording entries answering questions directing people building pcs disassembling pcs running around watching stuff and more I'm sure all volunteers will receive free admission as described BYOC not included the LTX merch pack shirt pen lanyard meals during your shift reference letter from us for your help and of course our undying gratitude gratitude never dies just becomes undead apologies to the volunteer applicants that jonno and Colton interviewed a few weeks ago we will update you guys in May once we have a firmer grasp on so many people we need for each booth there we go um yeah man it's happening soon yeah our team is coming out we've got a lot to do I'm so excited I am so stoked especially because some of the special projects that LTTE has been working on in order to have them there add LTX are starting to come together so oh you try you tried one today that I hoped was gonna be pretty cool like like 25% is cool I would have hoped it would have been 25% is cool um so basically Jake mostly jake has been working on a first-person view the idea was okay so it came it came from racing games are fun and a couple of the really amazing experiences that we've had at LTX in previous years where we lugged 16k gaming to the first one and then when we did the ultra wide version the 10k gaming one we we brought that one as well and we we hooked up racing games which was pretty sweet it was really cool ultra wide one with the racing wheel and the like big screen experience unlike anything most people will ever experience but the bezels the bezels and it's all virtual it's just videogames so next-level stuff happened in the LTX 2019 and this video is gonna be freakin sick we are we were using first person view racing goggles okay so these are for drones typically but people have been known to hook them up to RC cars and RC cars and we want to build will not want to did build the be like IRL racing game cool oh my goodness and it's like I don't even know why it's so different from what it's playing a video game but it's very notably different we both expressed similar things about how just the fact that it is actually real seems to impact you a lot more and the learning curve if you know how to drive super fast zero you just you're just like oh I'm driving the latency is incredible so you see I sent over their fpv racing goggles just just unbelievable so I've experienced so a delta X so the first part of the video is gonna be like the proof of concept which we finished today the second part of the video is going to be dialing it in getting four of them going yeah building a track it's gonna be a jump there's got to be a job if we don't have a jump then we failed yeah well we'll do our best to have a jump cool um so so we're gonna build a track and then we're going to do it as more like a step-by-step guide okay so guys if you're into this sort of thing and you just have unlimited money lying around cuz you're dead mouse or something here's how you do it step by step to build your own fpv car complete with racing wheel and pedals and brakes and all that kind of stuff it's it's pretty it's pretty crazy what are the craziest things for me is I in VR games I don't get the effect like if you play a roller-coaster game I don't get to like whoa I should be feeling Jesus I go around this corner but driving that little car you like you feel like you leave really feels like you're trying to lean into the corner so like hey oh man ramier ism is like surprisingly very and when you're playing on a monitor you never feel like oh I just need to like peek around this corner yeah but I was moving my head constantly even though there's no head tracking in this yeah oh man that was wild super super cool super fun um I was not expecting to do that today it's so much better than I expected oh well sweet what else we got going they grow different topics that's fine who needs topics anyway I know yeah I need to upgrade my freaking computer yes I was hoping you're gonna bring that up okay I love the original a no game the computer for an oh I'm sorry it's so laggy so I loved the original a no game over here in North America it was called 1602 AD and I played that a ton as a kid like they're different release way too much and in Europe it was called a No okay yeah it's a German game Oh actually yeah it was like one of the first German games to really break out on an international that makes sense because when I look up things for it there's a lot of German forms which I was kind of surprised by that's interesting like the amount it's sold in Germany compared to the population of Germany relative to the rest of the world it's like like basically everyone and apparently it was close to 50/50 male and female that's cool yeah because the thing with a know is that it's low pressure gameplay almost nothing is not reversible mmm so if you kind of go down the wrong path and you're not successful or whatever does regression oh all right it's not like that so anyway I I picked up the new a no game cuz Luke was over he's like oh yeah I got it jonno got it Colton got it and I was like oh poor pressure I guess I better get it's like $80 Canadian ridiculous anyway so I got it fired it up and on my you know super nice still monitor what whoa yeah look what happened you can see it the OBS capture is delayed talk watch your mouth move hello okay what really I don't know okay are we is it bad apparently lose audio do you think I don't know how much oh okay it looks out of sync slightly to me okay yeah I can't do anything about that rain just go with it just go like this okay so now won't bother yes no no yeah so so anyway so so yeah so I got it and Luke was over so he's never played a nano game before yeah but you had tools around for like 20 minutes or something right played for less than an hour and I had watched like the part of a starting guide video okay got it so basically as someone who had actually played the game before I was surprised at how applicable my knowledge was given that it's been like 20 years since the first one or something stupid like yeah I know even one of the really interesting things to me was I watched you play the original one for a little while and even stuff like certain buildings I was able to perfectly recognize because they like I don't know I've seen some reviews obviously didn't play the other ones but I've seen a lot of reviews refer to it as like a return to form and all this kind of stuff and I think they really tried to go back to the roots of that exact game that you happen to be playing at that time right which is kind of hilarious but but yeah it seemed to work out um so anyway I so I fire it up on my still pretty nice monitor so hundred Hertz 34:40 by 1440 and I'm getting like I'm like Luke you know it's weird because I find like the menus really laggy so I've got g-sync which means that it's a little harder to pick up on like frame rate fluctuations but I was probably running a like 45 fps or or less it probably or less probably dipped below that I'm just blow that on average I they get dipped below 30 probably I think so that was it was pretty bad and there was certain like there were yeah there were certain interactions that were specifically very difficult because of the frame rate which is wild it was kind of a powerful to watch so um so so he's like yeah what kind of hardware you running in here I'm like not Titan X Maxwell so something a lot of people might not realize is that I had that well and you were running at ultra wide and great settings and all kind of stuff yeah well I tuned it down a fair bit when we played multiplayer the next day and like forty but not like 45 okay I just broke this dang it why do I fidget with pen things this is a stylus anyway um so yeah a lot of people might not realize this but in the last seven years I have either had an infant or a young like company to deal with and I haven't had a lot of time to play games I know in particular is a massive it's it's a black hole that consumes time itself I think I think it's even though it's real time I think it might rival Civ yeah like it's pretty crazy especially if you kind of take your time with things yeah and the multiplayer I couldn't find any way a way to change the game speed so we were playing at 1x game speed which I the income felt pretty slow yeah well are you also just like weren't as good at it as me wow there's that Wow wasn't it further ahead whose Islands better wasn't I further ahead further ahead of what I had money population yeah tech I had money okay yeah wins a game to get a strong amount of citizen I was actually I was actually being nice to you I had the artisan class like five minutes before you said anything sorry sorry I said it's in the grand scheme of homais it was not very much and I probably got more of them when I got them yeah but you probably also ran into a bunch of trouble where you didn't have any workers for your friggin factories that's who was always buying stuff from your warehouse which I realized I think nobody might further was the terrible idea she was just built with it does not make it better it's not like you're better at all I should have kept all of that I have now learned that was not a favor in the slightest oh did you or did you not need the money I did that's not my fault thing well I should have Jenny I should have just built worker houses to solve the problem and I'm like a recurring basis whatever man it was fun though and then I thought my bill my apartment building lit on fire and then I had to run away space monkey says Linus good at a game what you know you mostly you joke about it quite a bit yeah oh actually I played apex on stream today the problem is that watch a little bit of it the problem is that newer games genres are a bit of a problem for me so if I am dropped into a battle royale I don't even think that's true it depends so apex Legends has a lot of gameplay elements or a fortnight for example the whole building thing where I have to you know can't do the building thing at all yeah I'm turbulent yeah like I I have to completely learn like a new skill set and play the game because of the building and and my my whole thing is like I don't mind learning to play a new game but I don't really have the time to learn an entirely new genre because by the time I sit down and sort of fumble my way through it meanwhile all the kids that are spending 30 hours a week playing this game know the entire map and every element of the gameplay like the back of their hands by the time I fumble my way through how to like play it at all because I just don't have it down and yeah it's like a kids crying or or something I get interrupted and then and then I can't I can't get back to it I've got to do some some job interviews or something and there's those weeks later I look at it again I'm like I kind of forget exactly how to do this so if you just drop me in a pure shooter okay like I won't know the maps and that sucks but like I can get some kills I'm fine I can click heads no problem if you drop me into something where there's you know very realistic recoil for example yeah I do have trouble with that but then a lot of it see the problem with a lot of that I think what it's coming down to is I'm not trying to year horn but it's it's time investment with a specific mechanic where like with recoil a lot of games that have heavy recoil you need to learn the recoil of that specific gun yeah so that just takes time like you'll learn patterns of recoil stuff and all that just takes a huge amount of time or even like research cuz you can just look like something that counter-strike you can just go find resources that'll tell you okay as soon as you start holding down on an ache a much like a 7 yeah draw yes like in a certain speed no it's good it's and like because pub G didn't we win our first two games that you ever played yeah yeah one the very first one I don't know if we won the second one too but we want another one that night yeah and we only played three or four games and we want you did what are you pretty good I did do some damage though you did some damage and in pubs you in Apex you can bring people back and all the kind of sub healings a lot easier in pub G it's not and you were alive till the end and you were making calls and you were landing shots like it's it was the first freaking game you ever played and you were doing damage that's honestly I think you did better in those first one to four games than most people that I play with right are actively playing modern games it's just that you don't have a lot of time investment yeah again I'm not trying to your horn and so the thing is like if I have the prerequisite skills already like pub G I found really a lot like playing paintball yeah yeah okay so like the tactics were 100% there yeah it's just that I don't have but like I need someone to like tell me what ammo goes in what gun like I'm not I'm not an ammo head I don't know like oh yeah like an MP was you've got to get this caliber thing I didn't know what scopes fit on anything or whatever so as long as people like tell me okay yeah picked that one up okay yep sure okay how do I sorry how do I mount the stock put this okay sure as long as I don't have to learn the gameplay mechanics then like honestly it's not that bad and RTS games I actually played a lot more than FPS games when I was growing up I was like a Warcraft 2 kid I played way too much like you want to play Warcraft 2 with me I will slay you probably I promise you I was to you I will slay you and your friends I played Warcraft 3 though no problem let's do you work ever so Warcraft 3 is a funny one I actually played it a fair bit the summer that it came out in French because I was on I was on an exchange to Quebec for like my thing and the kid that I was skiing with got it and Warcraft 3 was a game that was way too demanding for my home PC to run at that point fortunately so what I did was right so I played a fair bit of it in front so I mean a I know all the like stupid I probably played it more in French than I did in English um so anyway when I when I went home I spent all the money that I made that summer on building my very first gaming PC and I used the term gaming PC pretty loosely it had GeForce graphics GeForce 4 MX 440 yeah chipset graphics but it was good enough to run more craft 3 so I actually bought myself a copy of that which was a lot of money for me at that time least 60 bucks the brand-new game and I played it like a fair bit I played the kit but I mostly played campaign I just I never really got into the competitive side um but I'm good for a second yeah if you want to play some Warcraft 3 again I'll put some Warcraft 3 my brother and I decided to download it for fun yeah there's still an active component sure there's a very act all Blaser games never like we my we downloaded some maps there's I don't remember exactly what it's called so sorry but there's a website that you can google very easily it's like frozen maps or something like that yeah or war war maps I don't member but you can download maps and you can host games and they will Phil like immediately like there's a very active player base that is ready to go into games the thing that is tough about games that have been around forever is that masters yes everyone's like really good I didn't play supreme commander for like four or five years or something stupid like that and then I tried to drop in on the FA forever community and I was like yeah I probably still know how to play this game dead so key mechanics have changed a fair bit like I didn't like forged alliance I really preferred vanilla Supreme Commander I didn't like how fast the commanders were all of a sudden instead of being like highly vulnerable they were like these speed demons and they were more like combat units instead of like Builder units and I was like oh well I thought that was the whole point of the game was that he was or she robot I don't know was that your commander was very vulnerable so I just I didn't really enjoy the gameplay and I was at a time when my life was starting to get busier and they added another race and so I didn't want to learn to play a new race and I didn't know how to deal with the new race so there's that problem like I was talking to someone but Kyle recently but how it's like a mastered game yeah win it when it comes out it's going to be kind of problematic so I was like oh you get a PvP I'm like no this was an interesting conversation that we were having actually last week because I was I assumed you were gonna like please no classic Wow yeah and I I I will play it I'm sure I'm gonna be poking around the community and seeing what's going on I don't know how deep I'll get into it purely because of like a question someone asked me was like are you gonna go into PvP it can be really fun to have like an older wow PvP setup it's like well yeah but I play a warrior so I'm just gonna get tooled because all the like very abusable mechanics of certain other classes are going to be very abused because everyone knows what they are and like warriors well that's great because we're gonna be super crazy overpowered as specific things in PvE sweet but that's also kind of weird right it's not the same like back back in the day you and your group had to try to struggle through this thing that nobody really knew anything about and the default gear that you think you should take is actually crap and all the good gears like blues and greens and all this weird stuff and now everyone knows the perfect thing all the time no matter what and there's there's no thought or experiment that really has to go into it right everything's all perfectly not well what you were calling it was a solved game yes like in the same sense that like tic-tac-toe is a solved game yeah so yeah I think you were telling me that there's basically down to like how long to hold the button for the direction that you walk like the fastest way to level up to level 60 as autopilot and it will tell you exactly who to talk to you exactly where to walk everything right everything and it will just like the minimal number of clicks basically basically together and like that's not that's not what it was like that's not gaming No so that's gaming the system I'll play it because I'm sure my dad my brother will play it and it'll be cool to hang out with them and stuff but but you might have more fun if you found people who have never played Wow to play with almost certainly if they don't dive super hard into online guides right just like try to play fairly ignorant right which is and you just kind of play along yeah right which is kind of weird in its own right if they release Burning Crusade that would be great because Burning Crusade as far as I know is not solved in the same way the classic is people want your straw poll for the shirt ah yes I do have that let's see if your screen cap works oh not exactly what I was hoping to see because I was hoping a more skewed poll would show up yeah this is pretty uh ooh that doesn't really tell us a solid answer no so um all right then thanks guys one thing that I have a problem with is like the the logo also doesn't look completely a hundred percent like chill if you know what I mean looks like a few corporate yeah if you put the logo in the corner it's still gonna look like a corporate business shirt yeah but if you took off the logo and just did the word mark then it's Facebook if you hadn't told me that I would never have seen it but other people we're a very different blue blue it's pretty bad it got pointed out by one of the members on Steam i believe he's yuki and like ii he said it I was like yep it starts with an F it's white text on a black s not by much it is different it is different but like you know what forget it let's just leave it the way it is people who love floatplane and want a support floatplane will get one and people who don't well to be clear there's not gonna be very many yeah they're all can be like handed out at LTS it's not like this is like an LT t-shirt design where we're like printing a thousand like that I think it's a hundred and fifty and of that one hundred and fifty there's like allocation to LMG allocation to floatplane employees allocation of creators so there's like really not gonna be very much because we don't suspect people are gonna be way too into it people want to know when they can buy them I don't know if we will put them for sale I think we're you were you're gonna have something LTX or something but I don't know yeah that's the only plan right now I think we see it as mostly like a promotional thing like yeah get away yeah all right do we have anything else somebody wanted to talk about today I don't think any official news topics yeah okay um alright so I guess that's it cool see you again next week same bad time same channel bye guys that button stops working yeah then we're in a we're gonna have a real bad all right this doesn't work okay we're just gonna stop alright that's it
