2015-04-10
what what's not ready with the intervals we're not gonna have any of it oh yeah I can do that live no it's okay don't worry about it welcome to the LAN show guys we're in Japan show you have the wind from Japan we're gonna have to be a little quiet today because really yep we're in the lobby of Lake the most kick-ass hotel ever by the way this is awesome this place is absolutely incredible that's great they gave us kimono things what is that music that's you what it please here it doesn't matter if it's me today shut up it deposit cheese um so anyway the thing behind us that you guys see is like this amazing little likeness koi pond yeah there's like a huge glowing pond like these salmon sized fish and like this gorgeous like plant life and trees growing out of the cliff face and all kinds of cool stuff like that quick salmon sized fish we're both pretty tired the fish I caught was the size of the salmon and it was a salmon was it a big salmon I don't know just an average disseminators average salmon but it was delicious don't worry about it we have topics we do oh yeah we do have topics but like okay here I'm just I'm gonna show this to you guys because this is straight up the most like the best broken no no that's last week oh this is like the most broken worthless land show dock that we've ever had it has literally no actual nodes it just has stuff that happened this week that neither Luke nor I has had any time to look at because I've been on vacation and he's been covering for me on vacation and all apparently ghost is actually working on it right now trying to fix it yeah ghost there's no yeah we're like how much have you slept in the last like four days Oh four days probably six hours there's two hours before I came on this trip and then I've had two point three i'm counting a hot dog as a third of a meal so i've had two point three solid meals in the last five days like most amazing things I've ever had yeah but yes but included brought chicken yes so that was weird that was pretty bizarre so I've been super sick and so I haven't rested well either so yeah we're we're gonna like hang with you guys for a bit and this is gonna be the LAN show this week welcome to the tired show from Japan and wherever you have the FreshBooks thing sitting there this entire time you know what fresh folks is cool man whatever damn topics we have top right cuz we should be intro yeah alright I don't know if I fix the audio or not it's like cutting out it's weird yeah this kind of desire it's a new age thing why no don't do the live scene okay that is one of you did do that FreshBooks baby no big deal yeah you got this mmm alright guys so you don't have a week can you open twitch chat and taste like tasting links we're awful they're asking us to get Ed and Taryn on the show in chat okay so we were supposed to fly out of wherever we are back to Tokyo at like 6 p.m. at 6 p.m. instead we're trying to reschedule our flight at the airport in the morning so we have to be at the airport at 6 a.m. so it is now almost 1:00 a.m. here we have to wake up before yeah it's gonna be awesome bye Swede what we were doing while we were here was actually pretty cool so for those of you who don't know we were sent to Japan by Logitech to take a look at the omron factory so everyone kind of knows cherry right they make switches that go in keyboards and it's slightly less common I think for people to know Imran even though they're kind of like the mouse which like the most microswitch equivalent to cherry like if it doesn't have armor on switches in the mouse you might as well not bother so Imran and Logitech partnered up over the course of two and a half years to create the Romer G switches and they're both so proud of what they've done that they invited us all the way out here to actually have a look at one of well actually both but we only filmed one of them but the production lines for every single romaji switch that goes in well right now the logitech c910 yeah that's it so that's what we did we checked it out I was amazed at how different the Japanese approach has been to the German approach and we'll give you guys more details in the actual video but that's what we're doing here so for now I guess I guess what I'll do is go ahead and kick off our first topic so this week apparently the Apple watch reviews landed actually I did check out some of the reviews on the Apple watch and I guess the the main summary here so like some some headlines mm-hmm so Gizmodo says Apple watch met a review it's not perfect but it's still something something that the general consensus is its first gen and it's not some first gen sort of mess about it but you know it's a great start or it's really cool or I'd love to have one or it's a fashion piece and I kind of look at this and I go how okay now to be clear I may end up eating these words because I haven't got one yet yeah I do plan to get one I do plan to use it and I do plan to give it a fair shake because it's not like I just hate Apple or something I really respect a lot of what they do and I really like a lot of their products but the Apple watch unless I am somehow a complete idiot and having a screen on your wrist that isn't on without a motion activation gesture is asinine and seeing reading between the lines in a lot of these reviews with pretty much everyone across the board going it's first gen it's first gen first gen issues there are some first gen things to work out what that means is don't buy this yeah dude by it yeah that's a terrible terrible idea and if you buy it you're basically dumb because what does first-gen mean it means beta pretty much yeah I mean it's not every first gen product has first gen issues so when you say that you're basically saying it's a bad not finished product and to me it feels like an awful lot of sucking up is going on right now for the sake of making sure that you don't get taken off Apple's favorite journalist list because that list does exist yeah we've never been on it so we have absolutely nothing to you will never be on it I think all they all they have to do is watch this dream right now and us ever being on it is a foregone conclusion no I don't even have anything against Apple will just never be able to be on it yeah we're actually we're just not cool enough I think not even does that but like we're I think we're too objective I don't even think that's it because a non tech was on it their objective but then it didn't a non like end up working there yes but that relationship came later hmm you know he went from being a PC guy to buying a Mac and trying it out and falling in love with the experience for some reason mm-hmm so that's like that's fine so that's why we're not gonna keep it for some reason so maybe it's not because we're objective it's cuz we're sassy so the Apple watch review here there are some there are some good things that came out of it so some people are talking about how the functionality is great how it you know feels really good the fit and finish is really nice having it on the wrist attracted a lot of attention a lot of compliments but I I continue to have the same issue with any oh no you but I continue to have the same issue with no I'm not gonna no I'm not gonna miss a beat I'm not gonna let you screw me up I continue have the same issue with screens that are not always on and battery life that is just barely borderline like the funny thing is one reviewer who gave a fairly overall positive sounding review said something along the lines of I equate it to my experience with the first iPhone and that raises a couple of alarm bells for me number one the first iPhone was revolutionary but wasn't actually a great phone by any stretch of the imagination and number two is that if this is like the first iPhone to you then have you even used another SmartWatch because that was what was amazing about the first iPhone it was how different it was the Apple watch is not fundamentally different from other smartwatches in the way that the iPhone was different from other phones at the time so basically we dude it's got that like menu with all the circles I know that's different well you could say stupid things like that about Android wear - no and the Associated devices that's that's no this is different you can like flip through the pages I don't know of any Android wear watch that I could spend 10 grand on that's true woven hold on and you could probably find a way like if you have an Android we're watching gold and be like it is now damn good yeah like if you put enough Swarovski crystals around it I mean lord knows I've seen people do that with cell phone cases so it's probably possible to bedazzle something with $10,000 worth of Swarovski crystal that needs to be a world record like is there a world record for the most bedazzled thing I think that's not an entire bedroom that whoa no that was like done up yeah is that what that thing was called the bedazzler yeah I think so I'm look it up bedazzler yep yep yep that was it oh man that thing was amazing alright let's go ahead and move on to our next our next topic here uh the new Mac but wondering you know area to get about the bedazzling good yeah we're not gonna talk about the dazzling that this is another thing that's the same this is this is basically exists and post it this is basically exactly the same conversation we just had except to a much greater degree because I could make the argument that the Apple watch is a justifiable product if you are an Apple iPhone user and you want a smart phone system and you don't want a pebble yeah if all those things then you ins mert watch Apple watch if that as well if also have three hundred and fifty dollars plus then Apple Smart Watch with the MacBook I fail to understand how Apple is receiving positive reviews for this thing yeah and I even skimmed through a few of the reviews and I found things like well a lot of the complaints about the new MacBook like not having enough ports are similar to complaints about the original MacBook Air and how it didn't have enough ports so it's good well actually the original MacBook Air was a slow-ass dog with not enough ports and that never changed yeah it wasn't a great product yeah it was revolutionary in that it was extremely thin it was the first ultra book like the first really good super ultra thin ultra book machine but it wasn't a great computer it had a fatal flaw that made people upgrade them pretty darn quickly when's the last time you saw a Gen 1 err no and so I've got people I've got dude when he pulled it over the notebook notebook Oh Alliance leader yeah that's impressive anyways whereas the new back book is not enough thinner than an existing MacBook Air cripples itself and the big argument that I see supposed professional reviewers making are that it's fanless it's as if the ux305 doesn't exist that's what it is right that's the easiest one right I don't know this Lenovo ones as well ah I found this one yeah Japanese Google yeah Japanese Google well no that's the new one yeah yeah this is if the ux305 doesn't exist I mean it's the same fundamental hardware idea where you've got what is essentially a tablet on an extremely small PCB inside a laptop chassis and then the rest of it filled with battery and it's familis because it's extremely low power and so I see the same thing being done oh it's first gen but it's good is it first Jenner is it good because it doesn't have any ports it's not very fast and it's extremely expensive so you pay the early adopter tax that's not that's not the kind of thing that normally gets a glowing recommendation oh yeah like iĆ­ve done I'm fairly notorious for early adopter attacks on certain things yep IQs and whatnot but at the same time every single time I've done it I've recommended that people did not do it so I just probably not a good idea don't do this it won't retain value it's and you know what I saw I saw a couple of reviewers who managed to say you know I like it I've got someone saying stop talking about Apple no one cares actually you're objectively wrong so anyway I've had some reviewers saying because okay hold on let's back up for a second the reason we're talking about this is not because this is brown we haven't covered and not because the Apple watch or the MacBook the new one are particularly interesting products to me personally but because it's in much the same way that for all the negativity that came along with it gamergate was supposed to be about exposing the problems with gaming journalism here I see a big problem with tech journalism where you have to really read between the lines to find out what the reviewer actually thought of the product where they're saying it's good its first gen it's expensive which one is it it's either good and you should buy it or its first gen and it's expensive and you probably shouldn't buy it you should probably wait a little while so it's to me it's a big it's a big problem let's go ahead and move on to our next topic though not that I'm giving in to pressure Netflix can now ban VPN users with updated Terms & Conditions you didn't even know this yet did you yep so there you go it turns out that just like other competing services that have gotten more serious about blocking international users from using the US service so annoying Netflix is cracking down on I mean there's like half the stuff on the Canadian Netflix I know like actually this way but Canadian Netflix sucks yeah it does but the reason that Netflix has to do this and I know you know I'm not I'm telling you because you're my co-host no because I think you don't know not that we shouldn't cover it again I'm the only reason why I said I know is cuz we've covered this I know but it's because Netflix hast has to protect their ability to even negotiate content deals with the IP owners and the thing is even if it's the same movie the saying you go across borders there's different people controlling it that's right and there's different there's different agreements in place like for example let's say movie X okay maybe in America it's on Netflix maybe in Canada it hasn't made it that far down the price chain yet and it's still being shown on cable TV for example so that is why they actually have to enforce it because if they don't enforce it they're gonna lose the content relationships that they have in the territories where they're strong like the US now for me personally I see a future where this digital distribution is just worldwide and everyone can either suck it or well that's basically the only option the thing is fine they're gonna run into the problem again of its it's not easy enough so people just go start firing well that's exactly it it has to be easy and it has to be global but the problem is that the easy solution came along so Netflix to me is kind of like the steam of movies and TV shows yeah and then all the other guys are gonna kind of look at it and we're seeing this already with services like Hulu yeah all the other guys are gonna look at it and go oh holy crap that's really profitable maybe we should actually develop that business model and so much like we're seeing with origin and you play we're gonna see fragmentation to the point where instead of one service like Netflix you're gonna just have a Netflix and Hulu and booboo and set flicks and whatever all the different things end up being called and once it's actually managed by the owner of the property then they can wait for whatever global deals are in place now to gradually expire and they can roll it out worldwide because ultimately that's gonna earn the more profit anyway yeah and that's the only thing that's gonna motivate any of this is looking at how successful Netflix has been and how they can cut middlemen out of the equation and that's an excellent way to do it I have HBO what is it HBO Go it's HBO something else I think it's now now HBO now sure I have they're two different people I think they're two different things but yeah HBO isn't necessarily gonna want to push all their stuff to Netflix so they're gonna have their own service so you got people calling for sex flicks in Gulu no yeah cuz you said set flicks oh I said set flicks whatever I guess it's kind of quiet yeah I'm trying to be quiet but I'm ending up getting louder and louder I know I noticed that I'm like an embarrassing person to be around you are well I'm much like Taran bringing water through security to two times yeah both both times we went through security yet that guy is such a caveman just like you put him in any civilized in the terminal to go to the plane and he got like the the lady that was serving us food to fill up his ball with water I'm like you're gonna just forget and then she just forgot I was like BAM dude you didn't even take a drink from it at all it's completely like we were boarding in like half an hour dinner tonight was hilarious lately there was okay I think probably the funniest part of it was mrs. Leica we actually on run treated us to about the ball wrist dinner I think I can see behind us this place is pretty nice yeah this place is incredible we had dinner here at the restaurant in the hotel and we had our own chef you know who sat in a little room yeah next to the room where we ate and prepared the food as it was brought out it was how many courses 1111 courses yes we had two dedicated servers you know in addition to the dedicated chef and all the food was like crazy yeah but I I laughed internally when one of our hosts told me that it was not gonna have any seafood because the second I lifted the like they have these paper covers over your over your setting the second I lifted it up there was a roll yeah it's sushi me wrapped around it it's like okay cuz I don't I don't eat seafood so throughout the course of the meal how much seafood was there not a ton but there was a seafood well there was the prawn tempura yeah there was the sushi me thing there was this and there was Morse if there was a turtle or something yeah they wouldn't tell me what it was till I ate it yeah that wasn't much of it I was kind of sketch about that yeah a lot of it either ah what else was there there was there's little bits here there I would count raw chicken it's kind of more hardcores but okay it's not okay it's not some of the stuff was like amazing though like I really loved these they had these bizarro not really candles but like those are cool is some kind of fuel that basically what what they do lighted the whole thing torches instead of just like a young wick and then there's a metal bowl above it and it's basically like pre calibrated so that you get the right stink under it and then the right amount of water and the right amount of food and once the flame dies the food is cooked Asik that's amazing so they had like these soups these brats that your meat would sit and cook in while you ate other things and then once the flame died you knew it was ready to eat and so there was the mistake was amazing oh my god the the beef like the tender beef in the in the broth was amazing yeah yeah it was it was pretty awesome I - was too sketched out to finish his raw chicken because that is pretty sketchy that was a stroke of brilliance I'll let you talk about your brilliance we had like the hotpot thing that he's just talking about when there was the beef and a few other things in it it was like a small it was 11 freaking courses there's hotpot so it wasn't like the most giant hotdog thing ever but I took Linus's raw beef which he had ditched on to Ed's or an insulin no fried chicken brought chickens sorry cat which he had ditched on two heads alone and excellent intern dish down to me and I cooked it in the hot pot stroke of genius I wasn't into the raw chicken the taste was fine because like the outside was the outside was kind of like cooked fish like it was like it was like police think I think they like dropped it and then immediately flipped it in a pan I was on maybe a little more than blue steak slightly yeah but it was not cooked but it was not cooked yeah like it was not cooked and what they said was that at very high-end restaurants in Japan it's okay to eat there's other there's other stuff like that too like the puffer fish you like the puffer fan yeah oh wait is that illegal no I'm not sure I think it might be I don't know but yeah crazy stuff yeah anyway so they claim that it's okay so I did eat a piece but the texture for me was just abominable like I could not eat it I just I just about Hort all over all the table and made a total mess of everything because that texture like I don't eat raw fish either so yeah alright let's go ahead and move on to our next topic yeah boom LG may have accidentally leaked an upcoming 8k iMac mmm duh-duh-duh more k's personally I don't see it as incredibly unlikely no 8k would be what I'm a little over double the pixels of 5k maybe maybe quite a bit more than that actually whatever I haven't done my own I don't think it's the math is not happening at the moment I'm sure someone will correct us and congratulations for using a calculator um but anyway I I don't see why they couldn't do it they already created a custom interface for the 5k iMac so they've shown that they're willing to do that so just taking that and modified DisplayPort and going even wider does nothing but add design complexity and product cost something Apple has shown in the past that they're willing to do because they have an unlimited R&D budget and they have great margins so if they spend it because a lot of a lot of companies if they spend another three dollars on it it like breaks their margins on that product whereas Apple if they spend another three dollars on it they'll charge you another hundred and everything's fine everyone's happy so Apple has confirmed nothing about this but I I guess that's cool I'm personally not that super stoked on high-res displays past a point I think that moving to 4k is probably about as far as I'll need to go at any size lower than about 32 inches for I hear you and I know your arguments a long time but you haven't seen in a few screaming I haven't seen an 8k screen but what I had so know is a 5k screen from this close what I've also seen is the evolution of 1080p smartphones to 1440p smartphones and how little that mattered I know I'm just saying so while it could be marginally better looking at how one thing that Apple did extremely poorly on the 5k iMac is they equipped it with a GPU that's just plain not adequate and I even ordered the beefier version with the r9 295x2 8 gig card versus the r9 290 and these are mobile these are mm cards with four gigs of ram and things stuttered all over the place so I I don't know what GPU they would put in an 8k iMac that would fit within the thermal envelope unless they're going back to Nvidia and they do that from time to time yeah they do just they can swap that's fine they just do whatever they please got people asking for 1080 K I guess we should probably do sponsor spots yeah so yeah the land show today is brought to you by lynda.com lynda.com is the place to learn online it's used by millions of people around the world with more than 3000 courses available you can learn things like web design or excel yeah or video production or WordPress I should probably take some Lynda courses on video production then when those guys talk it won't all just be completely over my head you know what I still will because I think they do it on purpose sometimes you're just like go away I'm pretty sure cuz I'll ask about something or I'll say something and I've caught them doing it to you before because one of them was trying to make you think that it took like hours and hours to tween something in flash I remember that as a long time but yeah those buttheads anyway so photography visual design business all kinds of stuff like that and all the courses are taught by industry experts you can learn at your own pace and it's extremely affordable at only 25 bucks a month to start but if you're not sure if lynda.com is right for you to advance your career or you know make new friends when you talk about cameras with people online okay that's a pretty unlikely scenario the point is if you're not sure if you're gonna like it you can try it out for free at whatever the link is you don't have I don't I don't change seen through lynda.com slash web and show I'm really bad at changing scenes right there yes you he was telling me that apparently while I was gone she straight up just didn't show any guys the article super long through the time actually no I'm tired that actually me to help I said made up maybe so it's not doing we're not doing good you can make a website even if you're super tired and can barely talk and say maida because it's a great space is that easy because you can apparently use Squarespace yeah yeah simple powerful and beautiful they have 24/7 support via live chat and they have templates that allow you to make sure that your websites gonna work on a mobile phone on a laptop on a desktop or I mean probably even on like a Jumbotron you've been like an 80 K iMac you know what we should do just to be like complete butt heads is we should like ain't go to a baseball game even like pay them to put - community groups website on the jumbotron yeah or something like we should find a way to find some completely stupid display and put our put our corporate website on it and see if it scales okay I'll be wonderful we should try it I'm actually I'm kind of I'm kind of I'm kind of tempted to do that I'll be pretty fun anyways it's only $8 a month and if you get a year of it you're free domain I'm just pretty cool there's like a sort of 13 dollar value or so yep so if you go to squarespace.com and use offer code - that you can save 10% so you can get a free domain and save 10% and go to your Squarespace you know what we should totally do is we should turn offer codes into like a popularity contest so they should use like offer code Linus if they if they if they like me better and they should use offer code league we should actually have to offer codes well that would be I'd be I would be really interesting if we could get some stats from like Squarespace if they're like yeah thirty percent of the people signed up with Linus and seventy percent of them went with Luke or we should have lay Cara we should have like I like oMG in general but I hate both Luke and - we should have like a third option because like knowing our guys they don't pick that one squarespace.com slash haterade and then and then there'd have to be one more that was just worse be sitcom slash bananas great so last one is fresh books this is actually a relatively new sponsor for us in general we've had them on fast as possible yeah but I think we've only had them on the land show one so basically it's a tool for small business owners if you say for example you're like oh yeah and online too accessible so not a hammer necessarily unless you had an online hammer yeah like a bad guy unless you save money using fresh books because you're able to properly invoice people and get that and track that invoice and then they bought it ready to buy a hammer with the time you saved the money you made money okay anyway the point is if you're a small business owner late let's say for example you're a plumber you can use their you can use your phone to go ahead and do things like log miles and log hours so you can send out invoices easily to your clients it's all easily payable by credit card for your clients so it makes life a little bit easier for them and let me tell you as a small business owner half of the battle getting a client to pay is making it easy for them like if you want to do the you know wire transfer cheque dance to you know save six dollars in bank fees here or 20 bucks in transfer fees there or you know in the case of my wife you know a buck 25 for a check we all have to drive to deposit or check I think we've all collectively offered to like have it deducted from our paychecks I think legally we can't do that yep so she will live with it anyway the board the point is if you if you check out fresh books calm slash wine show you guys can try it out it's extremely affordable and it helps you manage both your time and your business better so give it a shot and save your money bye save your money save your time and all of that good stuff by hammer and buy a hammer yeah are we allowed to just say buy a hammer with the money you saved yeah I guess so we can give advice it doesn't have to be good advice hammers are legitimately useful tools I wonder how many let's do a straw poll how many of you own it him how many hammers do you own oh not how many of you own a hammer yeah I want to know how many I'm gonna answer this mafia but I'm gonna wait till people answered you ah I will have to think because it depends on how you classify it is a sledge hammer a hammer yeah okay it's a rubber mallet a hammer it's a mallet of subsection of hammer well those definer this don't know off the top of my head a meat tenderizer I think would be a mallet but not a hammer okay so then no so then no okay is a hatchet a hammer because you can use the back because you can use it as a hammer I don't think so but it doesn't remove nails in the way that I hammer well I could use like my foot as a hammer but my food is not a hammer okay easier what is a hammer that's good no you could that's stupid I have I've used my palm as a hammer there's a door in my place and the the doorknob is so loose that the not bolt but the other thing that I can't think of right now because I'm tired will slide out and I have to get it back in so I can actually close the doors I just hammer it with my fault okay fathers ever talked about like waves or toddlers well I I thought I think don't confirm Scylla Klaus oh yeah that's pretty important I think we knew this wasn't gonna be a very good sleep deprived in the middle of nowhere this sounds like a horrible teen movies sleep-deprived and in the middle of nowhere I decided to go off the trail into the cabin in the woods and there's a koi pond and it's quite wonderful actually but there's a murderer and they get picked off one by one yeah and like there's a chick with boobs and for some reason she's in the shower when every time someone attacks and then when she's running away she could've actually totally gotten away but she tripped right yeah yeah which gave a really good opportunity for like a slow-mo of her tripping you know what would be like a really cool like you couldn't do it with a movie like prove something pre-recorded but like a really cool like interactive storytelling concept whether it was done with with live actors or whether it was done with like episodic gameplay is like what so the concept would be that the audience cuz you you know how you always regret not being able to give advice to the actors please don't please don't open that door you know please don't come out of the safe room you're in them you're in the safe room don't come out of the safe room just stay in there what are they gonna do to you in the safe room that they can't do to you when you come out of the safe room it was obvious right so what if there was like a concept where you could actually like everyone in the audience had like a tablet or something so it's like twitchplayspokemon but with actors yeah so you can actually dictate the terms of the story and they could have some preset branches but it could actually play out a little bit different every night so it's like twitchplayspokemon both actors or like times Dragons but not its dragon kids kind of like choose-your-own-adventure yeah so you know what the decision is but you actually don't know what's gonna happen until until it happens so I think that would be a lot of fun like as a as a play concept and then again as like as like an episodic gaming concept so the developer might not this tells me what games multiplayer edition hold on a second this could be cool so the game developer wouldn't necessarily just develop one path but they could justify the expense of developing multiple paths by making it a micro transaction for you to try paths that you didn't choose that is a business mind did you just give people an idea cuz it's really good I don't know that's a really good idea it's really expensive and a linkage is like you don't have to pay every path yeah but they're gonna make you pay for any path like you buy the game or okay you make it free to play and you can play one path for free oh I play the game once I do it my way I mean it couldn't be quite like choose-your-own-adventure because I don't know if you read many of those but basically there was only one right path usually and then like every other path was like instant your head got cut off and alligators ate you like it was just go left or right right you trip you die yeah pretty much where's like I would you you should have a guaranteed number of of decisions so you should be guaranteed a certain number of Forks and then I mean obviously they can't develop you know 350,000 Forks so if there was something extremely unpopular they do some sort of generating tool yeah like this didn't work you know not enough people chose this can you pick another one or whatever else the case may be but I think that would be really cool and remember this is something that wouldn't have to happen over the course of a normal sort of game timeframe it would be more like an episodic thing so it could actually happen over the course of a couple of years more a few years much like a like a TV show might take a long time for the story to develop so gamers could actually play their way through the story in real time and then maybe at the very end or something you have the option to you know buy an additional playthrough and you can play it completely differently or something like that yeah that's interesting rumor XFX r9 390 pictures I'm just gonna randomly see the titles of things and then we can collect it going on tangents um right I guess like remember Jack are you completely ditching the live actor idea then and just going video game no I I like the live actor idea better it just seems a little bit harder to execute likely give there's really good improv actors like really really good improv actors and you could just throw curve balls I'm sure has anyone had done this before it seems like the kind of I feel like it's an improv thing but but like probably not to the same degree right yeah well you're talking about like they'd have to have you know in the universities where there's that like oh well you have to input your answer to the questions yeah when you use the little white clicker yeah it would basically be like that yeah so there would be options so the actors would have some idea what's coming but you know what the the director or the writer or the keukenhof shake it up a bit if they're if thirty proper in improv actors they can build a reactor really well but the thing about straight improv is that it doesn't have the production values know of a proper play know where as what I kind of envision is a proper play where you dictate how it goes well okay I think that'd be really cool like imagine like a murder mystery type play like they already do murder mystery type stuff where like the audience has some interaction but imagine one we're like the murderer can kill everyone and get away with it because the audience chose all the wrong things for the actors to do in the safe room then you just like closes off the air or something like that right yeah like that'd be really cool yeah I think that'd be really fun to watch um so this is like super rumor because WCF tech has actually updated the article in a very very the deceptive way so they didn't actually manage to change their headline all they did was add a note in the body of the of the article so you have to actually read it in order to know that that's an r9 380 which actually says absolutely nothing about new GPU development for AMD graphics cards because the rumor on the street right now is that they are 9 380 is just an r9 290 which means this is just a rebadged r9 290 yes so the RD that went into it was probably an updated bios and a new sticker design so yeah oh right skylake yep oh we got it we got to close this off pretty soon because we really need to sleep at least a couple hours we have eight minutes we have eight minutes all right well then let's talk let's do a series started that was pretty interesting LHC Large Hadron point oh yeah uh someone for the first time in two years the Large Hadron Collider has been fired up there was a Windows Update yeah nope no collisions but things are moving so that's cool there wasn't a Windows Update there wasn't a Windows Update what are you talking about two years oh you're rude um Intel confirmed skylake lunch it's coming in the second half of this year so that means we're not gonna get it at Computex which is a little bit I was kind of hoping for sky like at Computex I mean the thing that you guys need to know about skylake though is that it's not gonna be like a you know benchmark crusher like you know something like Conroe was for example it's gonna be an incremental improvement it's not ddr4 on the mainstream yet it was gonna use ddr3 and ddr4 elaine's just like the existing as well II it's gonna have USP one thing that I do expect to see with skylake is support for PCI Express based SSDs so nvme right now there are very few motherboards that support until 750 series SSD that was launched recently we have video coming on it there's very few that support the two and a half inch one the tuna half inch one the PCIe one that plugs into a PCIe slot is fine very widely supported um so I guess that so about all there is to say about that we really appreciate you guys tuning in at this totally unusual time for the LAN show we were planning to stream the LAN show at the normal time but we had an opportunity to take an earlier flight but back to Tokyo so we could hang out in Tokyo for the day instead of just seeing the airport so we got it sounded like a really good idea kind of figured we'd go to Tokyo for the day yeah since we flew all the way here yeah so I think that's pretty much it guys I'm gonna go sleep for nine hours yeah I'm gonna go hit the can cuz I still got a bad case of the travelers I'm doing stomach thing going on oh gee and like eating things that make me feel kind of gross doesn't help no no I'm not helpful I'm probably gonna hit my head on a few things and then follow over oh my gosh it's hilarious his six foot three Ness is so out of place here like like the taller I have a few taller friends that would just be ruined here in the doorways in our rooms here which are awesome by the way they're incredible Conan in the doorways of a room like it's probably like to hear like he's like this to get through I I was cursing dumping something up and I like stood up and turned and watch my head on one we've been here but that one was that one hurt Taron had a pretty good one too yes a little bit yeah alright goodnight you guys and we'll see you again next week we have to we have to wait for it hold up this is gonna be a little janky but well I almost always do that too yeah that's cool oh I never took out the straw poll results Wow yeah for 40 to 43 percent of our audience owns four or more hammers what I do believe in is Linda - also fresh book stock called slash windchill / Wayne not a sci-fi show also in the who sent us here thing put when okay good night everyone
