2014-03-12
we host for today Sean ani the editor-in-chief of the site I'm joined by executive editor of mobile Todd Hazleton everyone and executive editor of gaming joey davidson hey what's up everybody oh here we are this is the first episode of the all-new TechnoBuffalo show for those of you that may have been around for tech on the range as we set at the end of June where we were ending that show and we were going to start over and this is the whole new show what we're going to be doing is we will be on video every week wednesdays at 12 eastern 9 a.m. pacific we will be broadcasting on our main youtube channel you can also find a post on the site we will then release the show as a audio podcast later in the day so for those of you that still want to listen that way you'll still be able to we don't have night UN's link yet because you have to have the first episode before they looks up the feed so and soon this is interesting I this is our part of the joys of being live I'm now hearing myself from when the show started well mute it close that I'm not sure where oh I know where it's coming from it's because I have the YouTube channel open my god there you go well the joys of being live well and I guess we should apologize in advance I have a dog she's somewhere if someone walks by if like a gust of wind blows by she's gonna lose her mind that that's the nature being live and well as that sort of stuff out of the audio show but if you're watching live you're going to get to see the extra stuff like that so that's about it we're going to get into we're going to be doing things a little bit differently we're going to be trying to focus more on one topic per week and then towards the end of the show we'll throw it open to questions so if you're on YouTube if you're on the site if you want to throw questions and please feel free and you can also plus one though so we get an idea of which questions you'd most like to see us answer at the end of the show this week we're going to be focusing on the aspects of twitch and how it's changing gaming and Joey that's kind of your or wheelhouse so if you want to lead us off here um well I think I can start by saying that that I have never been much for twitch never really used the service when just from straight pc gaming but started using it because of the PlayStation 4 when it launched it had the twitch streaming app kind of built in like soon as you press that share button you have the option to either stream on ustream I think or twitch and because of how stupid easy it is on that console and it just launched on the xbox one it's just as easy there because of how stupid is easy it is on those consoles i am into twitch now like I actually watch twitch in my free time that's what I do so I just think the twitch in general is is kind of changing the way that we game socially and I think that it's just been a really awesome invention for this generation and I would even argue that you know next to graphics or whatever twitch and social gaming and sharing gaming it's probably the biggest benefit to the new generation of consoles so not as you guys we didn't have you ever been used twitch Todd Sean yeah I used it in the past and I would just look up like Starcraft matches and stuff but you know what i think a blink you James you know I think I think what's really cool about it too is that you can get a sense of how the gameplay is without like looking at demos and stuff online or replays you know you just bring it up right on your TV sort of see exactly how it's gonna look and then I liked it you get kind of strategies to you can see how some of the best players in the world are playing you're like oh well I've never played like that or you know anything like that so it's not cool yeah I've never transmitted anything on Twitch i have watched Joey as you know I watch you when you play quite often it's a tedious thing I mean I time saying it's a great way to get an idea if the game is actually going to be I mean it's one thing to read it about a game but to actually see it an emotion is a totally different beast you know and so like I was watching you play titanfall earlier this morning and you were having trouble with games loading and so you know that that gives a little bit more to think about because you know do I want go through that hassle maybe I should wait a week maybe I should you know skip the game all together and that's not something that's gonna come across in a review as well as seeing it live on a video stream yeah it's pretty cool I was actually checking in this is kind of weird I guess but I'm like old games that I used to play to to see what has changed a guy I saw at which for Ultima Online which I love you guys know that so I tuned into that yesterday on my on my phone after i loaded on my xbox and that was cool and like watching world of warcraft like some of the advanced you know levels that I would never even get to and seeing how they play there so you get like insight to games that you play too you know I might not have time in World of Warcraft for example to ever get to those places yeah what and let's talk a little bit about the mobile app because twitch just announced that they're gonna let mobile streaming happen yeah that's pretty cool is it cool I think it's kind of weird like I don't know I mean I feel like let people you know broadcast everywhere I think that's what makes it so compelling right sure oh I'm not I won't argue with how compelling that is I just think it's I don't know maybe maybe I'm just being get off my lawn right now but I feel like streaming mobile games just seems like so weird like why would anyone want to watch me tap stuff for a while you know what I mean yeah I think I mean there's a point there but when you look at like Nvidia shield right like you get I think a little more advanced games in some respects that would be fun so I hadn't even considered that man no someone has that's what like androids come on yeah I was just saying that I come across you so what do we think about situation why don't you shuffle that up to the yeah I I am doing that right now uh we were we were asked by a viewer what is your opinion on things like twitch plays Pokemon do you guys like to watch them do they interest you and that was asked by I apologize if I mispronounce your name shashin baha i didn't get into what I I tuned in once or twice and it looked like absolute chaos to me he's don't I didn't stick around I think they're I haven't checked in awhile i think the channel moved on to crystal because they started with red and blue known i think that they have they have since started pokemon crystal and i love those streams i love it i just think it's such a really awesome way for gamers to be involved with a game that's really really really old I don't know like the guy who created I have no idea why he decided Pokemon was the one to pick but it is super compelling I love watching those streams yeah I I did like looking at all the fan art it generated though and all the stuff about consulting the fossil say well they got rid of the helix fossil right right at the beginning sorry I'm Pokemon nerd now that's another thing to change with the new show Joey will completely nerd out over Pokemon this he brought it up we'll talk about phones i see that question yes I and real quick for we're getting some questions about yo I thought there'd be talking about phones the show's gonna change every week it just depends on what we decide is the topic of the week so this week it's gaming next week it could be phones it could be tablets we don't know we will just be doing this as we go and i will move that question the top and then get rid of it awesome thank you for the question man yes thank you everyone that's submitting questions we do greatly appreciate well here's another twitch related question though do you think twitch might partner with steam concerning the steam box upcoming do they need to I mean it seems like it's oh I guess I see what you're saying kind of like having an ingrained inside steam man I think it already is with origin I'm making that up even though it seems like would make perfect sense though I think it already is with origin I remember fooling around with that with simcity when it launched it makes perfect sense to me I think if they don't include it in steam that's kind of silly butt twitch twitch is like out to take over the gaming world right now so here's my question Joey what's their business model 23 yeah well there's advertisements so you can that you can pay to be like I can't remember what it's called but let's call it a premier member right i don't remember the name you can pay to remove advertisements from your channel and then it's a subscription fee there or there's like an ad that plays every couple minutes while you're watching see I was when I was going through last night I saw the ads pop up and I thought those were the like the gamers that were broadcasting on Twitch head like some kind of revenue model themselves really they so a lot of like hardcore streamers who maybe even do it for like a living right they can they can set up like donation boxes and stuff so that why people will just come in anonymous people will say like I like how you're playing this game here's ten thousand dollars whatever I mean I wish that happened to me no I whenever I tune it it's just a lot of you rocking back and forth each early for four long been waiting for so much I know the power of the cloud and whatever for Microsoft but I was so disappointed with all the server issues titan falls been facing right now I mean it was inevitable the game is flippin huge but well I speaking to the twitch and steam thing I think that twitch has shown that it's going to put itself wherever it can I mean with the integration into the PlayStation 4 and the integration of the xbox one I think it's inevitable that somebody is going to make that conversation happen but now here here's a good question right here what is twitch is this like in the literal sense or like in the existential why we're here my guess would be the literal sense but twitch it started on PCs but it's it's a way for you to broadcast your gameplay to the internet for free kind of a very similar to YouTube except it's live there's a chat room that runs alongside the the streams and then if you have the hardware setup for it you can speak with a microphone while you're streaming so like we've TechnoBuffalo we actually have only officially screwed one thing we were just fooling with it but octodad we stream that for a while which is ridiculous but that's at which is it's actually a pretty cool social feature so no yet now that and that brings up an interest question I wonder white which seems to be the the the service of choice right now as opposed to say a YouTube why is twitch the preferred model for gamers twitch is super friendly for gamers first of all of it for instance you can go in at which right now and browse by game and that's something that they've set up internally when you start a stream you select which game you're playing from from there already build library of games and then you automatically get channeled down so it's not like on YouTube where you would fire up YouTube and then if you're looking for a stream of World of Warcraft or something you would the only way you could find it is by typing it in I don't even know how you would find a stream by World of Warcraft actually like not a archive broadcast but a live stream I don't know you know what I found really cool too is that I can sit here and sort of have a game on like I would like an NBA game or something and just having him in my living room and watching like some of the best players out there just kind of chat and run around and shoot stuff it's really fun to just count so you didn't see that yeah I agree and I think I also agree with you Todd it's an awesome way to kind of check out a game beforehand especially something like titanfall which we may or may not be on the fence about already so but yeah which is pretty sweet man I I definitely wasn't a fan six months ago but here I am so we have a nether question here or I appreciate everyone turning questions related to twitch we actually plan to do Q&A at the end but you're in the conversation with us and we think that's great so this question so what would be a good setup software hardware for streaming on Twitch ok so for PC let's well let's start with the xbox one and playstation 4 they have it built into the hardware so especially if you update the xbox one with the most recent update excuse me all you have to say is xbox broadcast for the PlayStation 4 you just press the ps4 button you do need a good internet connection i recommend wiring your machines for this especially in my house where for some reason like six feet from my router I'd like data monster comes in and like blocks all the signal but so wire it if you can for the pc i'm not sure if you can stream from I mean I'm Mac or Linux I'm certain you can I'm certain there's a way but I use uh gosh open broadcast is the software i use that's free i think it's called open broadcast it's free it's pretty powerful it's pretty easy to set up and as long as you have a halfway decent video card you should be good to go and I've streamed things you know octodad Banner Saga a couple other games and I've run into no issues with lag and my pc is top of the line from two years ago so yeah and that is the great thing I mean with with twitch being built into the xbox one in the PlayStation 4 you just click a button and you've done yeah and that's that's what's really made it awesome for me I it was that it was it was being able to just click it and go I actually have a question for you Joey so what's the deal with like supported games like I just was loading it up right and I have titanfall on the way today but I don't have it yet and like I can I do battlefield 4 it said I don't have any games and support which i have no idea I think I do anything right am I rod but then that's what I thought but it said I don't have any twitch supported games hmm no no I don't know maybe I have to and NM my question for that would be what makes a games worth which supported but I don't know I might my guess and this is strictly a guess would be licensing situations oh I mean that's not really the nature of twitchett so maybe once it got on consoles they had to change some of that licensing stuff up but well I saw a message yesterday when I went to watch one of your live streams of titanfall it was saying I can't remember which game it was but there was one game of saying that you may not twitch it until the 18th and the big movie was a specific launch date yeah it was tied to a launch date and so it was saying if you you know broadcast before that date they would remove the stream hmm yeah that's a good point i wonder what happens with like uh embargoed game reviews right and then you're like oh well I'm just gonna switch this everybody I imagine if I imagine any reviewer would because I've gotten for instance with super mario 3d world right there was an embargo on that for video coverage where I was only allowed to post pre-recorded video in like three minute clips you remember this Sean yep so in that same embargo email it said you will not you are not allowed to live stream this game until whatever its release date was cool okay so they have that all figured right so I imagine like a lot of I mean with pretty much every review i've gotten every review copy I've gotten so far there's always some live stream information there so yeah exactly and that I think it was two-minute clips and they couldn't be consecutive to two-minute clips and a there was all searches yeah hendo they so long it was ridiculous guys along with that ah another question from saucon Mahal I'm trying man I'm trying hey I appreciate the pronunciation the hall right got a bit I I'm look I've lived with the name ani my entire life and there's like five of us in the entire country hunay and exactly tech will we be seeing technote afloat now I can't say the name of the site will we be seeing technobuffalo doing more twitch live streams yeah we'll well Sean I'm fine with it okay well Joey can we can we game together and like if people like longitude in and watch us both play titanfall that works right I don't know why someone would want to do such a thing but yeah they can if they want to make some jokes you know we'll make fun yeah just you know 45 minutes of poop jokes while we get shot of each other sanity what that brings us to a another question that's coming have you guys ever entertained the idea of having a full private lobby in one game with all the TechnoBuffalo staff along with your gaming fans yes we do discuss that from time to time the big problem is that we live in so many different time zones that's hard for us to all line up yeah you know so when the guys in irvine are getting off at five o'clock it's already eight o'clock for Joey and Todd and Joey has a son so he's been ice time you seen for a half an hour but exactly todd todd is the oldest member of the staff mentally it appears is true 30 oh he gets on and he goes I got too much sleep last night I'm an old man who says that I don't know I chronologically I'm the oldest member of staff but somehow Todd is older than me but my tribe as soon as we're forgetting all out in all aspects of my life it drives my wife nuts like I you should see my desk it's like this old man wooden desk that sounds awesome I have this bankers lamp like was born in the 40s I think bankers lamp hey hey here here's a question that could start a fire some what do you prefer xbox one or ps4 I'm not going to touch that oh boy we like having an audience I'll be honest in what I prefer since i'm when i'm outside the gaming department and i go for it oh god is no it's just who has who has a like where my friends are and right now my friends are on ps4 it's the staff of the site but i have xbox one too and my friends outside of technobuffalo are still on the xbox 360 so I'll game with them there but once they upgrade then I don't know it might change no so because for me it's a very social experience with with people that I know in real life too yeah when I was before I like I committed to owning every platform um I've gained where my friends game as well Sean so I don't Todd I don't think that's odd i think that that's pretty normal i guess preference i can tell you what I've been playing more recently and it's only because of review copies and that's xbox one but titan falls on xbox one plants vs zombies garden warfare was on xbox one I had no real preference I love all the current consoles wii u included so yeah we use awesome Joey convinced me to buy we you know I know man get out there enjoy a good question what is your twitch name so we can follow you same thing is Twitter which is down below its joey davidson no spaces so yeah and that's mine in case anybody wants noble rod robot odd photon right robot on that's Sean P ani not Sean punny as some people think but uh you know hey to the will technobuffalo show keep bearing at this time yes this is currently are chosen time so be looking for us every wednesday at noon eastern nine pacific what do you think about the new southpark game review went up yesterday on the site Joey gave it a 7.5 you can go over there and read the full details and I still want that game even though you gave it a 7.5 hands is the 7.5 is not a bad score man I know game if you love south park like love love love South parkin it might as well be a 94 you so hey it's dave from geek annoyed coming in with a question how you doing Dave hello from geek annoys in the UK yet again a big game launched with titanfall on so many issues with game servers do you think big publishing company should put more money behind delivering smooth launches yeah are you Joey well what's what's crazy here you can't even really blame this one on EA which I know is what people want to do but these are Microsoft servers this is not EA has a really bad history with launching games and and servers just crippling under their day one wait but this is a microsoft server launched with titanfall and it just absolutely destroyed itself I think it's a problem I think it's really sad that we've come to accept it too I think that's I think that's the bigger problem is that some gamers and some critics say oh it's day it's a day one launch its to be expected it shouldn't be expected we should be upset about this it's it its customer service you know what I mean they should be preparing themselves for the obvious influx of users so well met here's the question I was trained some texts with somebody last night who i'm not sure if they want the names i won't name them and we were discussing whether or not you know how is this going to reflect on microsoft down the road and my response was once the games playable again there even gonna remember this happen but that being said it still should not have happened yeah that's what that's my feeling too is sort of like oh yeah I remember that but who cares you know well and and Todd you can speak to the somewhat you know from like say every time Apple releases a new version of iOS although I will say the the 7.1 launched earlier this week didn't seem to have any problems see I did have some issues but really I a different cited by iPhone and my iPad oh really minor and they fix themselves but it was weird I don't know yeah it's I don't know it's I don't think it's something we should accept I don't think it's something we should expect and speaking directly to dave from geek annoys question yeah they should they should pump a ton of money into this they know especially with a game like titanfall that everyone's kind of looking at is the first big next-generation launch they should have had every server imaginable ready to go yeah yeah it just it was unfortunate and I i agree through Joey we should not just sit back and go oh well that's just the way it is now that's that that logics almost unacceptable to me so yeah exactly exactly yeah we got a question about hello why is EA servers never working kind of dress that I and they just companies are not putting enough money into their servers well it's again tight these servers the pc side is EA the xbox one side is is microsoft so ya know that this was definitely microsoft because this was an issue where you couldn't get into xbox live at all yeah yeah yeah so this was not a Titan fall specific issue that this was microsoft in this particular situation mm-hmm working a lot more questions than i expected i want to thank everybody that's sending them in we greatly appreciate it a couple of these i'm going to save until the end of the episode because they're related to other topics so joey i mean i know that in the past you've said that you're not that big on the whole social gaming scene but do you think twitch is a more appropriate social system for gaming okay so when I say I'm not really keen on social gaming I think just to be clear I'm talking about the stuff on Facebook yeah yeah games so if that's if that's one definition of social gaming no I'm not a fan of the twitch style of social gaming where someone will talk to me in the twitch chat room and then that camp conversation will carry over to you know Xbox Live or the PlayStation 4 even steam that side of social gaming I really like and I'm really excited about where it's going so I think it's probably really awesome I do you think this is like what's gonna take eSports mainstream to in the United States because I've always and I know they exist I mean when we were in vegas for CES we were in a in a place that had TVs everywhere that you could sort of play games with other people and tune in i thought well wow this would be a great place where you could also have a live broadcast of like you know Starcraft tournament or something like that and I know those places exist but people i mean i think it's a very niche market and right now with twitch now anybody can sort of tune it you think we're going to see you know the major league gamers and stuff start promoting all of this but they'll say like 6 p.m. on saturday come in and tune in for the tournament well i like millions of viewers vs I think well at least the United States vs funny you should mention that and I'm not really even in the e sports fan so to speak like I don't I don't follow it religiously I do know that there was a statistic out there that the League of Legends championships for this year the livestream had more viewers than the Super Bowls live stream wow wow that's that might just be a difference of the audiences like obviously people watching the Super Bowl probably just tuned in on their television not the live stream but it's just it's crazy that I see you're saying versus yeah but I why the potential is huge right so I think yeah Todd I do think it could take esports now if not mainstream it will definitely collect a lot more interest this way so I would love that yeah all right well we're coming up on the questioning sir we've got a lot of questions coming in so we're probably gonna have to power through some of these so you know please thank you again to everyone that's sending in questions we really appreciate it so these are going to be all over the board they're not going to be specific to the twitch question Joey do you have any closing thoughts on the twitch situation now it which is good cool it's good okay so opening it up to questions what do you guys want to see in the new HTC One Todd this is all you um good question i really want to see this become a software play for HTC because I did hardware is great but there you go ok Joe choice you have to say something so you show up on camp sec did a great job with the original one right but sales aren't that awesome and the company's sort of going down the tubes like honestly our revenues or they're gonna miss their estimates for this quarter so I think really they're gonna have to show the audience like what are they doing differently and it can't just be hardware because they already did that with the HTC One I mean it's a beautiful phone it's a great device all around so what's the new one gonna do I don't know the camera looks unique I don't know if that's gonna sell it to to consumers and I think you know we're gonna expect a Snapdragon 801 processor 1080p screen a lot of the same specs so software play let's see what they do in this offers up yeah I tend to agree with you I think we're at a point with phones yo and we keep hearing about the quad you know k displays and all that folks come on yeah you don't read you don't eat a 4k display on your phone I'm sorry you don't I i yes a 4k television they're gorgeous but on a phone that you're holding this close to your face no so yeah I think it's going to be more of a software play than anything although I'm interested to see what the the dual camera setup is all about so we shall see thank you for that question Nathan coming up and they also thank you to everyone that's plus wanting these so we see which ones you're most interested in Joey this is a gaming question do you see a day when pc console gaming will become irrelevant and that all move over to mobile I know the answer it's coming to this was it's a hard and definitive no I I don't where to start on this I mean first of all your your phone doesn't there's a difference between tactile input on a controller or our mouse and keyboard then there is for touch gameplay I love touch gameplay I'm not knocking it but there are two very different experiences and i do not see mobile coming up with a solution that makes sense in terms of being in your pocket and being a phone but at the same time providing tactile play there's a reason why people were running out and buying those uh those game clips in droves that the clips that like clip your phone to your Dualshock 4 or whatever so first of all no on that front but for console gaming and pc gaming and maybe even the steam box there is a certain allure to sitting down in front of your television and playing games and i don't see that disappearing and i'd argue that the what 6 million people that have purchased a playstation 4 and the four or five million that are purchased an xbox one would probably agree with me they prefer consoles over mobile gaming and mobile gaming is great when you're in between things but as your your mainstay and your main focus I don't see the whole world switching over to that not I mean maybe like a bajillion years from now I don't know right right let me just add sorry oh no go ahead thought when we met with the oculus at CES they said that you know the virtual reality gaming it's going to advance rapidly but it's always going to rely on the latest computer hardware to have the best experience they said even consoles aren't going to keep up with where they want to go and so I think that's good also I mean if virtual reality like that's really going to take off then I think pcs have to do right yeah well I'm people people like to argue especially mobile phone users that you know the phone specs are catching up with console and PC specs I'm not going to argue with that you know in some regards they are but there's a lot more to gaming than specs it has to do with the lifestyle playing on a television playing with a controller you know that adds very different layers to gaming itself so well I see a lot of people pointing to the fact that mobile has become the dominant gaming so way to game in Japan but you after remember Japan is a very very different beast than the rest of the world these are people that's been large chunks of their life on trains sure I when we when I was in Japan who is a 30-minute commute on train was short so yeah yeah I mean every time I've been to Tokyo it's like on the train on the train on the train so yeah I can see why it's happened there but in the rest of the world no I don't think mobile is ever gonna replace pc and console gaming completely it's just not going to happen okay thank you for that question Jonathan okay next up what do you think is better Twitter YouTube live I I'll just quickly say I think it depends on what you're trying to do if you're trying to stream games i would say twitch if you're you know the reason we're going with youtube live is this will be archives for later viewing you guys have any thoughts on that nope odd no I don't know yeah it's all based on your use case sure yeah so you know try them out see which one works best for you this is a really technical question I'll answer this one as quickly as possible I've been trying to listen to podcasts on my phone but no matter what app stitcher podcast attic the audio will cut out soon after the screen goes off is this a setting problem or my phone I am going to say it's probably a setting problem so go into your settings and see what your sleep settings are set at because typically when the screen goes off the podcast should continue to play it also depends on which phone you're using another one from David geek annoyed thank you Dave thanks for answer I would be very interested to hear your views on 4k video creation for YouTube do you think it's too early for online couriers like ourselves to invest yeah John I degrees John I degree I mean it you're talking about capturing equipment is something like a camera is something like forty five thousand dollars for 4k and then outputting depends on the user how many people do you know with 4k displays yeah that's a good point so I got it you're you're appealing to like your your audience is getting super super nice so I mean I don't know if it's worth the investment yet I mean yeah YouTube will adjust to whatever your display your users displays are but at the same time I mean if you've got a great working camera right now yes you'd be future-proofing yourself but y Huget up that's right so I mean the prices of the 4k camera a year from now we're going to be a lot different than they are now and the depreciation on that camera you bought today is going to be Laura right just go put a down payment on a house yeah yeah exactly uh okay next question have any of you guys played the Elder Scrolls online beta no but I can't wait negative no I didn't get in yeah I know Todd's anxious to play it but I have gotten like mmos okay is that okay do you think YouTube content creators should be able to enable or disable the video rating system I that would be a question for jon rettinger and he will be appearing on the these shows from time to time but yeah I think more content control is better so the answers yes I I think I know that there's an argument there that some creators might want to insulate themselves from negativity in both good and bad ways but in my mind give the creator's as much control as you can totally agree totally agree um oh do you think the 6-inch iphone is going to be a reality no not now I think what we're looking at is probably like the 47 4.7 inch used to be the most talked-about rumor and then you also go to 55 and 57 57 was a new one I don't even know where that came from uh maybe I mean I think if Apple really wants to hit these these asian markets where the phablet's are really huge popular than it could be a good choice to go that way yeah i just i don't see Apple go they may eventually but it's not more likely like a 47 yeah it's not going to be this fall for sure I am new to android so's Nexus 5 a good choice for a starter yes styrian it fun yep because you're doing a pure Android experience and none of the you know if you start with say like a samsung phone with TouchWiz on top of it then you're going to form your opinion of android based on moron with an Android so yeah it was yeah excellent choice moto X was going to be much choice it wasn't for this HTC One but yeah uh let's see here we've got a lot i'm not sure we're going to get all these folks so let me scan these real quick here and see here's a good one what do you think about the Comcast Time Warner merger bad bad bad is not good for anybody between that net neutrality man I think the internet that we see at least the the internet that we in the United States see right now is going to be very different from the internet that we see in six months to a year which kind of sucks yeah this is a horrible merger and I'm really really helpful the FTC steps in on this one it's not gonna be good for the consumer at all mmm yeah Creed's manam yeah well I don't not really but darn close oh yeah I mean you're so fios floating around you have google but i mean i'd call it a regional monopoly almost Oh No yep well I mean my town of emily has one cable provider rayo new york city or county torn i mean time warner has it big grip and then files is in pockets and you have RC in some pockets just come orders to come to like everywhere just bring it everywhere give everyone free internet with that hundred-dollar one-time install fee and let us write off into heaven together until our data do you like dumb well we'll be thumb on Louise like as we drive off the cliff with Google Fiber oh boy I like that top question yeah with mobile computing becoming more of a thing do you think desktop os's will go away or really change their look to match mobile OS as example Windows 8 what I think is going to happen is it will have mobile devices that run both right so you have a mobile experience and then you plug it into your monitor or maybe wirelessly and then you get a full desktop experience I think that's where we're going I mean you'd love to you is doing that with you want to touch so yeah yeah I I I don't know I i think that uh you know apples address this recently because there had always been these rumors that OS template was going to go more of an iOS direction and they've said you know there's a reason that the two of them look different because the way you use the os's are completely different so yeah I think we'll see a lot more design cues but I don't think we'll see the same functionality exactly but on that front it doesn't rule out that you could have iOS 7 on your iphone and mac OS x on your iphone but you don't run OS on your iphone you plug it into a monitor and then your iphone to power that you know what's up exactly here's here's a housekeeping question it also is it possible to make these podcasts available download directly rather than or in addition to itunes yes there will be an RSS feed and you will also be able to listen to us on the stitcher app so we're getting that all set up the that will be available we should have all those details for you in the next day or two but you must have an intro song too yeah Joey we'll talk about that later I relisten to that one that you hated the least decided it wasn't good so we're still picking a theme song at this moment yeah oh let's see here boy you guys are just asking tons of questions which we love but i watch i get to as many as we can uh what do you think about the new galaxies and galaxy s5 Todd you're the only one that's touched it yeah I really liked it I liked it a lot um I think Samsung fans will get more of what you expect from Samsung I think ip67 water resistance is really cool it doesn't affect the display at all we're like the overall design I don't know if people are really gonna like the hatch on the bottom a camera interface was really nice looked really smooth and TouchWiz has been cleaned up its flattered I think the experience is much improved now whether or not someone's going to choose that overly eight the new HTC One I don't know because they're going to be totally different devices so you have to play with them both yep all right I'm going to take two more questions and then we'll we'll call this first episode done and again thank you everyone as tuned in the this has been a great experience and we will be fine tuning this over the coming weeks so what you see today may not be exactly what you see in the future but it's gonna be darn close it's just gonna be this except I'll have my shirt off I think that's gonna be the only idea okay that was disturbing anyway okay so let's see here Joey what do you think about titanfall so far it's good i've been playing it this morning i am kind of taught I know yours is on its way right yeah yeah every last night with like Amazon's express delivery so should be here today right on when from when people play with and I did it eric frederiksen another one of our writers has it so we'll be playing together but it's fun it is I know that some people might not like this but I do think it is an upgraded version of call of duty it's more interesting than call of duty it's more fun than call of duty is but I do think that it feels very familiar but you know so I i I'm excited by it i'm working on the review now think i have like three hours played so not much yeah i've got my copy I just need to get logged in and start playing so Joey can start kicking my ass which I'm sure will happen uh let's see real quick here here here's one I've got to take this one because this is a topic that I talk about all the time what do you think is going to happen to the ipod line is the pono player and store going to be a hit first off the ipod line is headed for death there's no question I I cannot believe the ipod classic is still considered to be in production even though it's not been updated like 1600 days only people i know with an ipod are people who have it's better really young that they don't want them to have oh come on Shawn phone okay here-here's the the whole reason I still use an ipod classic if I'm working out I don't want my phone around weights or a treadmill every bothering you yeah so Sean Sean Sean you working out nobody I swear Joey has a sensor in my treadmill that has crossed the office and every time I step on that treadmill i get i am ding from joey davidson hey good save this gif never fails yeah the pono player and store going to be a hit no no $20 albums I don't care what quality they are nope hey the first off mp3 players are dying off there there's no question about that because i am the oddball here i know that most people are just going to use their phone for music the puddle player is too big it's oddly shaped it's not gonna be easy to hold I've never even heard it opens a new range yesterday it's a Kickstarter from Neil Young immoral Neil Young Neil Young is trying to start a new mp3 player and I actually I think it's gonna be playing flax 93 Black is awesome I mean I mean that in all seriousness uh nope it's like a pure park I know I said that was the last question but one is popped up that must be addressed yeah I saw that too it's fine no vanillish comments today that's all check on the range fan and we appreciate you following us to do show don't worry vanillish strikes when you
