oh hi welcome to the LAN show guys how are you doing today it has been a long journey I hope you're well but we finally made it it's a great day today it's been a very frustrating hour and a half or so basically the computer I streamed from right before the LAN show that some of you may or may not have watched me it's kind of been a while everyone who watched that stream is probably in bed by now yeah so the computer that I streamed that stream from decided to it yeah does not it boots into Windows sometimes and then when it does it locks up within about two minutes so there you there you have it yes I know the cameras a little green yeah I don't know with it I don't know what to tell you guys about low audio because I just listened to it so there's that but there you have it we are finally here we are finally here and apparently Luke looks terrible damn dude sorry sorry sorry dude sorry to hear it's Ari to hear that Luke loose at Luke's had kind of a rough spell here you know damn dude looka fatter as for it being so quiet I'm literally listening to the stream right now so it's fine alright so guys let's get right into it we've got not off not a lot of time here based on the time it happens to be right now so topics Pokemon go is obviously the worldwide poo storm that is taking the nation in the world it's swept pretty much everything tops daily twitter users and sees more engagement than facebook something that not many apps can boast and we've got a lot of news around pokemon go it's gonna be actually some pretty fun conversation the csgo gambling debacle continues valve has issued a statement so we'll get into that and sort of what that means in a little bit here it is customary for the co-hosts to do two of the call-out topics he's knew that this don't worry folks PC shipments in the US are growing for the first time in quote-unquote ages it's only been a few years but it's still been quite a long time and then also Nintendo is releasing a miniature Ness with 30 built-in games so that could be cool that actually sounds freaking awesome let's roll the intro go away go away Colton go away go away at least I'm hoping the intro will roll at some point here yep you should go do the thing so Colton doesn't have sure it sure is supposed to I will I will seriously ah so I am not sure if we are oh oh oh we are we are we are we are broadcasting a thing I owe I pulled the network versions that's why it didn't work so the intro will not be occurring today and Nick will jump into our first Pokemon go topic while I change my shirt does that mean that this monster stuff isn't on there okay okay anyway so as Linus alluded to earlier Pokemon go has topped Twitter daily users and sees more engagement than Facebook currently so it's not the biggest mobile game in US history approximately five point nine two percent of the u.s. Android population engages with the app on a daily basis which is insane that's the highest percentage of daily users on Android or sorry the highest percentage of daily users on Android is in Australia at about seven point nine eight percent of all Android users in the country and like is it even officially launched in Australia maybe people in the chat can tell me but I don't think it is I could be wrong though and then the current peak daily active users is just over 20 million people candy crush saga reached approximately 20 million back in 23 there twenty thirteen so remember how big the scope of that was it's even bigger than candy crush and then clash Royale only reached about 6 million at its peak in 2016 so it's closing in on snapchat on Android right now which is pretty insane and professional yeah look at you huh and apparently the Pokemon go Android application could even pass at Google Maps on Android in terms of daily users like what what yeah so more people are trying to find a map to where to find little monsters than people who are trying to find them at to get to there to actually do something productive yes I'm gonna move the mic right next to you ok and so so on Monday the average iPhone users spent 33 minutes in Pokemon go the average iPhone user yeah the America in America Wow yeah and that beats Facebook which saw about 22 minutes and eight seconds on average I mean to be clear Facebook has probably more staying power than Pokemon go yes I mean don't quote me on that maybe Pokemon go will be the new social media app and it will completely overtake everything ever and replace YouTube and Facebook and Twitter and snapchat and Instagram all at the same time but probably not so this is very much a hype train at the moment and I don't expect them to be able to sustain these kinds of numbers over the long term like someone like Facebook has managed to do but still it's incredibly impressive I mean when you consider that the average iPhone user spent half an hour in Pokemon go that means for every like old person like me who didn't play it at all so this is us statistics from yeah that's fine so for every old person like me who didn't play it at all that day someone played for an entire hour like if you look at pretty much anyone who does vlog style content on YouTube right now like they're just walking around being like everyone here is playing Pokemon literally and I'm sure that it's more prevalent in the really concentrated areas like LA in New York where a lot of these guys reside I mean I've seen a lot of people going oh can only get like 4 Pokemon in my area which is in like Montana or whatever but I mean just the sheer number of people who are engaging with the app on a daily basis is ridiculous absolutely ridiculous the original article here was from TechCrunch go ahead and pull that up yeah absolutely love it you know what's kind of sad is I've been so busy this last week I have not only not played pokemon go I haven't seen anyone play pokemon go right i I haven't installed it yet I pretty much haven't been outside of work or my house yeah in this last week or so it's been it's been a sort of a challenging challenging period here it looks very fun though yep so I guess yeah that's that's great oh actually here's not a few more numbers as far as the installs go so Pokemon go Android installs and daily active users so in New Zealand 60 New Zealand and Australia love their pokemon go that is absolutely fantastic between 6.6 to almost 8% daily active users and about 15 to 16 percent of people have it installed pretty incredible so let's talk about some of the worst news with respect to pokemon go this article is from tweak town let's go ahead and pull this up San Diego residents brush with death while playing pokemon go fall off cliff Wow they were both taken to trauma centers suffering moderate injuries according to battalion chief Robbie Ford of the I'm not even gonna try and pronounce that local fire department presumably where they were playing the game in sonatas sure let's go with that so one of them fell somewhere between 75 and a hundred feet and the other one approximately 50 feet and was found unconscious by firefighters holy crap the dude who fell a less or a lower distance was the one who was knocked unconscious so like he should be darn happy that his friend like fell a little better and was able to go yo dude we just fell off a cliff playing Pokemon please come save us ridiculous unbelievable and then there was also a teen hit by a car while playing Pokemon and go so the original article here is from Gamestop excuse me GameSpot that's completely different things actually even though it's just a couple letters moved around shifted yeah so 15 year old female from Pennsylvania was hit by a car and hospitalized for injury injuries to her collarbone and foot in addition to numerous cuts and bruises her mother says I blame the game because she would not have been out of my house my daughter is a hermit so that's that I would like to clarify what a hermit actually is before we actually go any further with this story well like a hermit used to be someone who lived on like a royal property but like never or something uh oh no I had not heard of that I thought Hermits lived in seclusion maybe like away from other people so you can't live in seclusion in your parents house yeah I'm just I'm gonna look it up because you got me doubting myself a person living in solitude as a religious discipline so yeah yeah so so your daughter wasn't a hermit for one thing just to be very clear about that and for number two you cannot blame an app on a phone for your daughter leaving the house for your daughter walking across a major highway yeah she says at five o'clock in the evening which is rush hour fantastic what else we got here the US Holocaust Museum asks players to stay away so somehow US Holocaust Museum has been designated as a polka stop so that's developers slightly overlooking something there I would say the communications director for the museum has said that they're trying to get the museum removed from the game and that playing the game inside a memorial to victims of Nazism is extremely inappropriate which I would agree with a Dutch hospital has also asked that players refrain from entering the bill their building with the sole purpose of playing Pokemon go after some players ventured into restricted areas and they posted a cute little picture through Twitter there where they said there's indeed a sick Pokemon at AMC but we'll have but we look after him well please don't visit him and it's like a Pikachu with little band-aids and stuff you want to show that yeah I will it takes a second sure yeah but like oh I mean it's one of those things where it's like I know that in Skyrim it is considered acceptable to just walk into anyone's house or any building just pick stuff just start like bashing things with a sword to open them up you know like that this is this is the typical RPG player behavior yeah but that don't mean away from the light Oh all right this is the typical RPG player behavior but while we are looking for Pokemon in augmented reality we're not supposed to be just like behaving as though we're looking for Pokemon in okay so we are supposed to be behaving that way but we're supposed to remember that we are also operating from within the real world and that is that is not that is not considered be the most most appropriate waited yes well you get the point I hope hopefully yes so here's the I don't know I don't know what he needs the tissues for but you know oh right he's got a cold that's right little Pikachu that's not that's the AMC Twitter post which is extremely cute I'm glad they at least had a sense of humor about it yeah but like that's serious apparently people were going into their basement where there's like where they essentially sterilize like bedsheets and stuff like holy crap you're exposing yourself to like serious possible like pathogen armful pathogens and tainted bodily fluids and just I understand that it's Pokemon and that you're stoked to go catch pokemon but like have some sense please please in a little bit more positive news there was a long aunt Long Island pizza place who has their sales who has had their sales increased by 75% by using Pokemon go lures yeah this is a huge thing so Luke and I were actually talking about this earlier this week and it is I don't know if this is confirmed at this point it was a speculated thing earlier in the week when we were discussing it but apparently I want to say bread garden had made it a chain wide procedure nice to constantly spam lures at their locations in order to draw in people who were playing Pokemon and go and this has become and that this is this is amazing to me because it's almost like like something I've talked about before on the show just in general is how computers had this progression that they follow to where they were kind of slow and not really useful and only like nerds use them and then over time they got more accessible they got less expensive they got more powerful they got more functional and this happened over a span of here you can scoot your industry to this happened over a span of of decades in the case of computers right and phones have gone through it's just this accelerated version of that right we're the first smart phones were kind of like stupid and quite frankly didn't do much I mean people forget this but the iPhone couldn't copy/paste I think come on it couldn't copy paste and that was only what like ten years ago nine years ago I don't even know if that was ten years ago was like 2008 or something yeah so like eight years ago maybe yeah so so that was not a long time ago and now they've gotten to the point where I feel like a lot of phone reviewers are just kind of bored of phones because it's sort of the same thing year to year the cameras a little better but like it was already pretty good yeah okay so I'm taking that whole thing where computers and phones have gone through this these this this much accelerated progression through the stages of of just for nerds then exciting to everyone that kind of got boring right so it feels like as a mobile app Pokemon go is going through an accelerated version of previous social applications where it's like you know Facebook was just used on on a call it honor single college campus and then multiple college campuses and then all of a sudden it went massively mainstream and now your grandma's on it okay but that took a long time and what also took a long time was advertisers figuring out how to leverage the platform and ruin it for the users right okay so all these platforms YouTube Facebook Twitter they start out free and then there's ads and then there's sponsored tweets and then there's you know companies trying to spend lots of money on attempted viral videos or whatever the case may be it goes it goes commercial yeah Pokemon go took like two days to go from free sort of micro transaction but but free fun app to businesses figuring out how to cash in on it and spamming lures in front of their stores in order to get you to buy more pizza which leads us finally let's be fair there though because I actually don't have that big of a problem with this because they're not saying oh yeah we have a lure in here you can only come in if you're buying pizza as far as I know no well they're just providing a safe place for people to congregate where you can also enjoy some food and drink if you so choose yes and I actually prefer this because like they're placing lures here whereas other people are placing lures in the middle of parks in the middle of the night and holding people up at gunpoint yeah okay I'm not saying it's wrong right I'm just saying that by the same logic um you know we're just putting the land show here and we're just saying you know hey lynda.com you know hey it's a thing and you can you can sign up for you cannot sign up for I'm just saying like that that commercialization the advertisers taking over and figuring out how to leverage the platform happened so fast we have to remember though that it's very similar to ingress true so a lot of this stuff did develop over time in ingress but the impact was much lower the impact was much lower because ingress wasn't this phenomenon but I mean it's you know what you're saying is true but there are a lot of other factors I think all right so let's see there's not much left so the Lindsay mini Zeo whatever pizza bar in Long Island New York started using the in-game lures as of Monday July 11th it was reported that Pokemon go had 7.5 what I think some of the notes got mixed up okay anyway there this is Wow neon tech has confirmed that retail establishments will be able to pay to have their shop become a sponsored location that hosts rare Pokemon attractive items or a gym so this is where we start getting into issues and this leads into next topic this is happening this is happening so unbelievably fast the Pokemon go partnership with McDonald's is on source says according to Gizmodo source everyone is using the same like to stock images of particles it doesn't matter you can use any Pokemon girl you want completely doesn't matter at all the like alright let's get into the details here what do you got okay so redditors discovered decompiled code in android and iOS versions of Pokemon go earlier this week and part of that code indicated a potential sponsorship deal with McDonald's apparently so as Linus said a well-placed source has confirmed with Gizmodo that the sponsorship is moving forward and is set to launch in one country in Asia and Gizmodo learned that every McDonald's restaurant in this country will either be a polka stop or a gym they're unable to confirm which country it would debut at but the guess based on several compelling reasons including that this country is the birthplace of the Pokemon company is that it will be Japan which makes a lot of sense and this could actually be the reason why the launch has been delayed in Japan because apparently there are a number of very upset people in Japan about the fact that it hasn't been released yet there for seemingly no reason this might be the reason maybe they said hey roll it out in u.s. see how it goes if it's as crazy you guys as you guys expect it's gonna be then you know we'll pony up the money to have McDonald's everywhere in Japan beep oka stops and gyms and will launch there which like I don't know I find this whole thing a little ironic that it's a partnership with McDonald's because Pokemon go is all about like hey get up and go outside walk around and be healthy and eat McDonald's so that's a little weird but I mean I guess it makes sense in a way again it's positive in the sense that they're providing locations for people to congregate that aren't some bush in a park at 3 a.m. where some dude is going try to rob you but I don't know I just what are your feelings on honestly I am trying to put the lower third on here right now technical difficult ahnold's partnership with pokemon go possibly launching in Japan yeah I don't mind it at all oh I I don't I don't mind okay so there's a couple things that I do mind about it so I don't mind people having like you said a safe place to go to play right - to congregate to do this somewhere that's well-lit somewhere that you know there's staff around with a phone to call 9-1-1 or whatever it's attack yeah emergency number happens to be um I don't even mind that you can go there to get some rare pokémon like you know ham burglar to or whatever the case may be like I don't mind that but what does bother me about it a little bit is that to say that McDonald's restaurants will be the place to go to obtain a rare Pokemon implies that you won't be able to get it anywhere else right so those rare Pokemon that you could otherwise get some other way are going to be limited to McDonald's so if you're creating something special something different the the Ronald McDonald blacks or you know whatever actually that's that's that's what they should just call McDonald's in general no and the McDonald's never sponsor okay so wasn't great if you're creating new content around it and I can be a purist like a Pokemon purist who doesn't care about the mix squirtle the Burger King you got your backs note saying where I don't care about the mix squirtle then I can still be a completionist when it comes to the actual Pokemon and the actual achievements and whatever else is part of the main game but if you're gonna go okay yeah if you want you know you have to buy five happy meals to get them you to oh then then it gets then it's pretty frustrating to me and that's something that I'm not someone says mix squirtle leaked yeah well it's kind of where I was going with that like that brings up an interesting point though because I think they're only I think Pokemon go currently like I said I haven't played it yet I don't know entirely what it's all about I think they don't either have gen 1 or Gen 1 and Gen two Pokemon I think it's just general in Pokemon but there's like hundreds now yep so maybe they're going like hey sport check if you want you know the legendary is from gen 3 to be sport check exclusives like pay us money like that's I agree I don't necessarily like that and you know what there's ways that they can be smart about this as well like for example timed exclusives are a lot more palatable to me than forever exclusives yeah so if you are rolling out new Pokemon very slowly and you kind of go okay if you want to be the first place where you can get one of those then the obsessives who absolutely have to have again like like a gen 3 legendary or something like that fine they should just go to McDonald's and buy a Big Mac I don't care but the people who can wait a couple of weeks if they can still get one in a legitimate manner then that's super cool i I don't mind that at all yep for sure and I'd like to be clear I don't think there has been any confirmation of like this Pokemon will be specific to this retail location or anything yet right but we're just saying that it would be concerned if that did happen yeah oh man like there's some like there's some pretty there's actually some kind of some kind of scary stuff in there like for example what if in Manhattan McDonald set it up so that you had to visit like every McDonald's in Manhattan to go that would be very troubling should we do the chat app one yeah sure let's do it okay so apparently Jonathan Zara was a beta tester in the summer for Pokemon go he can see that it offered users no way to chat with one another so he was like hey I should probably create something around that and he said that especially in a location-based game of course there should be a chat so you can text your buddy and be like yo dude here's where I'm at just how to eradicate it's dope so within five days of the launch of Pokemon go Zara's free app for Pokemon go chat is approaching 1 million users and hitting servers with 600 requests per second and apparently now it may drive him bankrupt because the server costs are getting like ridiculously high you know the guys that I'll give him I'll give him credit for sticking to his principles here so this is the original article here's from the verge com I'll give him credit for sticking to his principles so he says he doesn't want to add support it because he hates ads and doesn't want to draw attention from the Pokemon company and I'm like okay cuz you don't make sense the definition of selling out is compromising your principles for money that's the definition so if you love ads and you think ads are great and you have no problem with ads personally and you kind of go okay well you know so there you go I consume ads therefore I will also serve ads and people can consume them and add to make the world go around and this is great then there's nothing wrong with having ads in your application or your content or whatever else the case may be but if you you hate ads you adamantly refuse to use products and service is that are supported by ads and you just kind of relate no nope I do not agree with this I refuse to take part in this then I gotta give him credit for sticking with his principles and not implementing ads with that said if you have a super successful app and you are providing a service that people are willing to either endure ads or pay for it is not very business smart to be spending your own money maintaining it when you have a community of literally a million people that wants to use it yeah and like the the pay for the app thing is what he wants to avoid in order to not attract attention from the Pokemon company because like that would probably result him in a lot of trouble but like if you're doing responsible advertising that's not like taking over the screen or like playing music at a ridiculously high volume like weird like Pokemon porn or something like if you're not infringing on Nintendo or nyan takes intellectual property in any way and even like have a disclaimer to be like hey Pokemon company if you see this like I only have ads on here so that I don't go broke any profit that I'm making is going to X charity or whatever and then they can still slam in with a cease and desist that can still happen and they can still shut down his app but at the end of the day at least then he hasn't paid out of pocket for it something that doesn't make it sound of sense I don't know I mean yeah like good on him for seeing an issue and like doing something to correct it but holy crap man everyone's like stop the Pokemon stop the Pope there's nothing we can do to stop the Pokemon yeah I did I'm personally not playing it I'm doing everything that I possibly I'm not letting my kids play it and I'm not playing it I've done everything I can to stop Pokemon like my kids don't even know Pokemon is I didn't have to stop them but yeah they know what paw Patrol is it's a new generation hat so 20 20 years from about 25 years from now my son's generation is gonna be like some some like augmented reality paw Patrol thing Oh paw yeah it's hot paw Patrol it's awful it's the very worst problem I do not know I'm speaking of things that I endorse in any way shape or form first up is lynda.com being a little slow we're running the show off of my laptop today which is super not ideal I threw all the drivers together on there and yes great it's great yeah sorry what's great running the land show-off melanda comm it's used by millions of people around the world because it's great be your first time reading Lynda talking points yeah I mean well I've read them personally in the past considering I talked to them but ok fine I'll do it there are more than 3000 courses available on lynda.com I'll do it I'll do it I'll do it you're awful ok lynda.com is used by millions of people around the world with more than three thousand courses available ah that's what he just did I didn't even do it better what's great about lynda.com is that it's not just for professionals or it's not just for casual users there are a wide variety of people who can benefit from Unicom are you bored at your job are you looking to take things to the next level are you bored with your hobby are you looking to take things to the next level are you bored with your life I'm looking to take things to the next level are you bored with Pokemon go and looking to take things to the next level courses but what they do have is business courses they've got creative courses like photography or video editing or Photoshop they've even got development courses so if you wanted to say for example I don't know write a cool app that you and your friends could use to chat in Pokemon go hey it's a starting point it's somewhere to work on in a foundation that you can build on through self-study and it's extremely affordable lynda.com plans started only 25 bucks a month and you can try it with a 10 day free trial by visiting lynda.com so right there and start learning today our second sponsor that's pretty good when you don't like screw up the whole time eight points i never screw up the talking points I always get the talking points at which Chet knows what I'm talking which chat knows what I'm talking about I never get it wrong so our second sponsor today is actually a new one it's called Ministry of supply and this is I this is Colton's doing that we are wearing collared professional shirts on the winch I'll just give a disclaimer this shirt is actually a size too small for me because it was ordered for Luke so it's not like the shirts fit poorly this is just a shirt that's too small for me yeah feels nice we ordered it for we ordered it for Luke because Colton way to go Colton apparently didn't realize that Luke wasn't going to be here this week so Luke's actually on vacation which is like amazing I don't think that's ever happened I am I okay yes it has but there's always kind of been a reason for it right like he's gone on vacation at the end of a business travel to a location so like where he's in Germany anyway right yo I'm gonna take a couple couple more days off I'll be back like a little bit later peace bro like that's happened yeah but he actually booked time and booked his own plane ticket yeah I think that's the first thing I ever paid for a plane ticket yeah anyway and he's visiting someone incoming okay I need to tell the people of a minute yeah yeah ministry of supplies the ministry of supply combines performance fabrics advanced manufacturing techniques on tailored design to make wear to work clothes that are comfortable and capable yes my friends your clothing can do this and more it's funny these talking points are great way to go coulton clothes are meant to be worn on the body I'm glad we're clearing this up for you people so Ministry of supply starts by studying ergonomics how to buy human body moves and functions to ensure they're putting the right technology in the right place which is why you won't find a jock strap over top of your nipple the products keep you cool and dry with sweat wicking fibers breathable fabrics and nasa-developed phase change materials which help regulate your body temperature so basically you won't get too hot and sweaty and you will still be clothed which is good I mean Denis should probably look into this for those of you who don't know Denis I just like can't keep a shirt on I'll walk into the he's like what's that actor that has this issue forget who it is it's either like Matthew McConaughey or Ashton Kutcher I'm just gonna google it cuz it's like 10 actors who can't keep their shirts on come on no freakin way the first one is Dennis I didn't even know that that counts Hugh Jackman okay so Hugh Jackman Mark Wahlberg okay Mark Wahlberg I also knew it's gonna make me it's gonna make me load a new page in order to keep reading the article so nope not gonna do that but yes there you go so Dennis Dennis is one of those maybe ministry supply could get him taken care of and everything's easy to care for no dry-cleaning no iron oh yeah this is right out of the box and it doesn't have that and you like threw it around and it's like super not lined and actually pretty wrinkle free that's awesome I actually did not I was I was actually gonna yell at Colton about this too and then I just didn't have time because I was busy fixing the show I was gonna be like yo you just brought me a button-up shirt right out of the box right out of the full pre-folded package and you didn't even I'm gonna have lines like this oh man that's pretty cool that's awesome so there's no risk to try and returns with a 100 day hassle-free return policy so just check it out at bitly slash that and save 15% off your first purchase and

gift for that yeah that's right oh we love Colton so no seriously Colton's in the chat saying give me a break why come on oh okay actually there's a bunch of notes in here so they've got their Gemini button-down shirt the Apollo dress shirt at Apollo polo a v8 or two pants and Atlas stress socks which are all featured and we'll have linked in the in the wine show description on Youtube upload check him out whoo all right let's move into some non Pokemon topics here I'm sure that we have some right oh yes okay yeah here we go so the original article here is from Jones Ward dot-com and this is a pretty this is a pretty serious pretty serious whole sort of topic here the other original article is from the steam store so there's an in-game trading update from valve so they've acknowledged that there are a number of gambling sites that have started leveraging the steam trading system great job being on top of that guys it's been a problem for a while didn't really take a long time and they claimed that there have been some false assumptions made about their involvement with you with those sites they wanted to clarify they have no business relationships with any of the sites they have never directly received any revenue from them and steam does not have a system for turning in-game items into real-world currency so okay technically all of those statements are correct they claim that the sites have been using the open ID API in a way that is not allowed by their user agreements and they are going to start sending notices to these sites requesting they cease operations through Steam and they will further pursue the matter as necessary and what they also had to say this is from the article is that users should probably consider this information as they manage their in-game inventory and their trade activity so basically don't fear items now I tried to find the link for this I was looking at the global Offensive reddit yesterday and there were claims that some of these illicit gambling sites had actually disabled their trade BOTS so like people had like thousands of dollars worth of inventory and they just couldn't get it now there's some speculation that the sites are just updating their Terms of Service and updating their use of the API to abide by Valve's clarified rules but it is unclear exactly how they will do so bottom line here is that Valve seems to finally be taking a stand against unregulated gambling using their in-game items long overdue but I mean you can't it's like it's like if your kids not doing their homework for a week and they're way behind and then like they do it all finally you don't yell at them for doing it so I don't want to be overly critical but this really is overdue to be clear this is very much an emerging story so as new information becomes available some of it may become outdated and will require further updates as time goes on there's a group of trial attorneys that's taking on class action requests in the CS go gambling lawsuit or in a CS go gambling lawsuit so they've stated they're pursuing multiple class-action lawsuits in the u.s. against valve and various skins gambling websites connected to the game Counter Strike global Offensive working diligently to recover funds from US residents who have lost money on skins through these illegal gambling contracts call 1-800 recover your skins for help now it really does feel like a late-night lawyer infomercial it feels like those billboards that are all over the place in later yeah exactly exactly yeah watch that show yet is it good I saw the first season on Netflix I thought it was very good cool okay I can't remember his name but the diet the guy who plays Saul is a great actor I'm a fan what's his name yeah weak link Larry so Henry Winkler is that right no no I one other thing that isn't in the doc but that I noticed twitch Odenkirk hung and I guess they look somewhat similar not really not that similar no not something anyway the Fonz okay just forget it I'm pulling I'm having a Luke moment here that's as bad as some of the stuff it's been a week let's just let's just say it's been a week okay you know we carry on anyway on it's none of the doctor but twitch actually issued a statement that said that any you know in their terms of services it essentially says that if a streamer is streaming something that breaks the terms of service for of a third party then is not allowed on Twitch so they've essentially came out and said you guys can't stream gambling sites anymore you guys can't take sponsorships from gambling sites anymore Wow I'm sure that they have been wanting to do this for a while I remember it was a couple months ago it was getting super out of hand the csgo twitch page was always just like gamble gamble gamble gamble gamble for like the top 10 streamers and they said something like you can only gamble on stream for 30 minutes a day or something like that but it was so tough to enforce so I think they were just waiting on valve to finally make a statement on it and now they've come on they said yeah okay this is out of hand you guys need to stop doing this so I mean I don't know I like like I said valve is technically correct and everything they've said but I think that they're like trying to obscure the truth a bit because you can be darn sure that betting on csgo matches has increased viewership like I would personally say that I believe that happened you could also say that losing while betting on csgo decreased viewership so I'm not gonna try and say that there's a correlation or uh yeah but I don't know it's it's just such a nasty subject in my opinion all right let's move on to another kind of nasty subject but it turns out they got it sorted out the original article here is from Tom's Hardware nvidia gtx 1080 and 1070 DisplayPort incompatible with the HTC vive this is something I actually could have discovered on my own and been very very frustrated by if I had upgraded my media center PC so I actually use the vibe in my living room because my computer room doesn't have enough room for hollow point anyway um so what this means you're such a nerd I know what this means is that if you have a display plugged in via HDMI already like say for example a TV most of which do not have DisplayPort inputs if any and you want to use DisplayPort into the mini DisplayPort in in the little the little input/output box the 10 17 1080 just wouldn't work with it yeah not my 980 worked just fine but it was apparently a bug they have identified a solution and we'll be rolling it out in the next driver update which is this week the articles from the 11th they rolled out a driver update today so it probably wouldn't be a ridiculous assumption to say that that's probably it but I'm looking at this going like that is such a huge oversight I would imagine people having their display plugged in via HDMI and wanting to use display port for the vibe being a pretty common thing I mean I can't be the only one installing this somewhere I mean display for it hasn't even been mainstream on monitors for longer than a couple of years I mean Asus kind of addressed that with the Strix where they put two HDMI Xin yeah so if you want to learn more about this tricks we have a video coming to YouTube next week uh yeah I think so just went to vessel last night so if you have vessel you can check that in um in other news PC shipments return to growth in the u.s. Wow glorious pcmasterrace am i right no no I'm not right unfortunately the news isn't all good and while PC shipments are up I think it what is it this quarter yeah they're still down overall for the year and the growth is not is not huge they're up they might be up for the year in the US only but globally they're still down between four and a half and 5.2 percent and even then we're talking like 1.4 percent if you don't factor in Chromebooks yeah and we're talking four point nine percent if you factor in Chromebooks we're talking literally like hundred-dollar computers so that's growth so that's that's unit count growth to be fair yeah I believe that these numbers only factor like prebuilt PC sales yep so that's been on the decline for a long time as more and more people realize that building a PC isn't as hard as the ones thought it was or is some people once thought it was right speaking of PC building not be that hard Terry Crews pretty much took over our PC master-race yesterday because he's building a custom PC and I got to say like I'm huge Terry Crews fan that dudes awesome Brooklyn nine-nine is like one of my favorite shows right now so I was pretty happy when I saw this and there are a lot of memes going down some dank memes going on with with the glorious Terry Crews putting the pcmasterrace hair on him with his majestic figure and so he was you know he created a facebook video outlining the parts in his PC which now has over 1.2 million views pretty darn significant he was very humble throughout the whole process asking the community for advice and checking what the community thought of his parts choices which overall were pretty positive he chose a core i7 6800 k 2 terabyte SSD 32 gigs of dominator plant Platinum's from corsair and a gtx 1080 so pretty bad essrig and also he paid for all those parts himself he wanted to make it very clear he wasn't doing like a sponsored deal or anything with intel or nvidia or whoever and he says that he's building the gaming ring to spend more time with his son who is a big pc gamer but he admits that he's also got a fast growing interest in pc gaming so he actually was part of the battlefield 1 pre e3 event with like Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg I think that was the one where there was a lot of let's say fog in the booth of all the people there that may have been that one Snoop was there so yeah you don't really have to say any more than that yeah and he essentially said he really enjoyed playing battlefield 1 there he's hooked on gaming and you know he's made it very clear that he's not gonna be abandoning being this crazy like muscular huge dude he's still gonna be a very physical guy but he wants PC gaming to be a bigger part of his life now which is uh pretty dope yeah that's cool pretty sweet I mean if he gets into VR especially some of the more physical games yeah he had an HTC vive very nice pretty cool I would love to see like Terry Crews do some live streams and I think he's already been on some twitch ads so like twitch get it going get it poppin this looks pretty cool original article hears from techradar.com I mean this has been the the emulators argument for so long look Nintendo if you're gonna tell we're not allowed to emulate then give us a means to legitimately acquire the gains and they've addressed this somewhat through retro console games but it's it's not always that well done this actually looks like a fantastic solution check this out the nest is back it's a little mini nest it's the same shape but there's no cartridge to install it or anything like that it's a much smaller size and it comes pre-loaded with 50 games 30 30 games I say 50 sorry 30 games it has an HDMI output so you'll actually be able to use it without buying yourself like what's that retro bit retro gen whatever that thing that Luke just bought that's super it's a low latency analog to HDMI converter okay I'm gonna I'm gonna go grab it off of his desk while you've run through some of some of the details here but a native HDMI output is awesome because you don't need any specialized hardware in order to avoid the horrible processing latency that you'll encounter by trying to put a low definition signal into a modern TV but the we are it will be available on November 11th of this year for $59.99 USD so like essentially the price of a new Wii U game which is freaking fantastic and there are actually some awesome and really classic games that are gonna be a part of this so Donkey Kong Final Fantasy the first one Super Mario Bros 1 I've never played three I think I started on two as well the quest was the first one so I've played mystic quest because it was called Final Fantasy mystic quest but it's not actually a Final Fantasy game oh it was like rebranded for North America or something was one of those situations I don't remember the details interesting it'll also have the Legend of Zelda the very first one as well as the second one which is not as great of an experience well known I've heard it says it's a bit of a subpar experience you know but yeah like this is awesome like I will play the crap out of that yeah like what is it 60 bucks yes 60 bucks 60 the price of a new Wii U game you can get 30 classic Ness games that is awesome HDMI Nintendo this is the right way to do it I like it I mean okay not to be clear I don't necessarily think that you should have to buy a piece of hardware for this I mean if they had okay I personally like it what if they offered this what if they also for 60 bucks had like a package on Wii U's yeah like I'd like to see that as well I think people would rate I think people would complain because they would think that 60 bucks is too high and then I'm wondering like I wonder why they're choosing to do it this way maybe it's just like hey have this cool knick-knack as well as all these games and like I personally like having Hardware stuff like I when I used to buy more PC games I used to like to buy the physical copies yeah because I like actually having like a library of games instead of just like oh yeah my Steam is like 500 games now or whatever but I don't know I like having something physical I think it's really cool I like the design of the nest it's you know a classic and having that on the table is like I don't know to me it's badass one thing I don't like about the nest is the design of the controller which they unfortunately didn't update yeah even rounded edges guys come on please please they wanted to give us back the horrible experience sorry it's framemeister oh yeah that's what I was thinking of this will do my bad retro Jen makes like emulator console C indubitably something says confirmed for old I mean it's true yeah but that hurts man it's real bad hurts real bad um you know what I don't see a whole lot else here that we really have to have to get into so thank you guys very much for tuning in to the LAN show we will see you again next week same bat-time same bat-channel by which time i will probably have completely rebuilt and reformatted the stupid computer that's next to me that I hate so very much hit us up on Twitter if you want to see a build like streaming PC build guide video oh yeah Nick's been bugging me he's like yeah you should like people have been telling me they want to see build guides again yeah I know they take a lot of time but like I it's interesting though like rebuilding the winch because it's like sighs it's like it's not that applicable to other people like we're gonna build a completely overpowered ridiculous machine and like I don't I don't see that being that valuable to anyone else but okay well we'll talk about it all right all right all right see you guys thanks for watching bye while I was waving you had it over top of me so they couldn't even see me at least tunnel bears not on the show to that
