 Thank you. Oh, we're live. We are What's happening? Are we are we? How do we know? Welcome to daily philosophy news show That would be an awesome show because I kind of want to do that. So don't you want to cut it specifically specifically about philosophy news You can't believe You can't believe what just happened in the world of philosophy Guard your assumptions It's the philosophy pun show I'm trying to think of a Nietzsche one. I probably should just stop and do this show instead, so Are you are you prepared? I was born prepared Tom was a man I didn't personally know but every day I listened to his tech news show if you have a dollar to spare To keep mr. Merritt on air to patreon forward slash I used to take you should go This is the daily tech news for Tuesday, June 16th, 2015 I'm John Murray joining me as he does most Tuesdays. Mr. Patrick of Asia DTNS contributor independent podcaster man of the letters. How are you and of Leather's? Man of the letters Where's many many pieces of leather? I Wasn't aware but I guess you know having seen Mad Max two times I could be into that. Yeah Yes I am I am Patrick Beja and I am an extremely tired version of Patrick Beja again because I've been following all of the Conferences from E3 and the the Sony one was from 4 a.m. To 6 a.m. My time That was harsh. Yeah, that's anything in the three or 4 a.m. Region no matter where you are if you have to get up at that time That's that's just hard. That's the worst because if you if you want to not sleep and do it Then you're gonna be tired and if you want to sleep and then wake up to do it You're gonna be tired too. So yeah, life is hard, right life as a yeah, so hard full disclosure though That that Patrick is very tired when we tell you whether it was worth it for him to get up At 4 in the morning might affect his mood on that Matt. What was announced? We'll find out Let's talk about the headlines See that called Sony's E3 press conference a mix of nostalgia and exclusives Okay, Halo creator bungee announced a new expansion for destiny. That's coming in September Sony also has exclusive deals for early access to Square Enix's next hit man called hit man as well as exclusive access to Street Fighter 5 And Call of Duty Black Ops. That was a steal for him Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Syndicate will offer PlayStation only missions and the next Disney Infinity game will come with an exclusive Star Wars figure in a PlayStation only bundle Square Enix remake Final Fantasy 7 is a timed exclusive for the ps4 Sega launched a Kickstarter for Shenmue 3 which funded its first 2 million dollar goal in 9 hours making it the fastest Funding video game on Kickstarter yet Sony introduced a first-person shooter called Riggs Exclusive for Sony's Morpheus virtual reality headset although We don't know exactly when that headsets coming and Sony PlayStation view the TV service Expanded to San Francisco and Los Angeles while Sony also made vague promises about future a la carte channel purchasing options Oh, oh, oh, I'd apparently last Guardian is coming in 2016 You thought I was gonna leave that out didn't you yeah, we thought yeah They they opened with it So that was pretty big and and it was oh just to be clear the exclusives on hitman and Call of Duty are The maps are first on PlayStation For for Call of Duty and a few missions on hitman. It's not the entire games like it is for Street Fighter 5 But there's a lot to say about Sony. I don't know if you want to do it here or in the discussions Topic, but yeah, let's hold let's let's hold off. We'll leave it with the details here We'll tell you our thoughts in the wider e3 discussion in a bit and Until then we're gonna talk about Nintendo's e3 digital announcement conference that had a lot of new titles for 3ds And a lot fewer new titles for the Wii U Nintendo will release Amigos for Bowser and Donkey Kong that will work in the Wii U version of Activision Skylanders superchargers in September or maybe they're gonna be Skylanders that also work as amiibo's no one's sure the legend of Zelda try four zeroes comes to the 3ds a Three-player cooperative take on the classic adventure franchise that has online play and arrives this fall It's kind of puzzly. I think it's reminiscent of four swords for those who remember that title for 2016 the 3ds will also get Metroid Prime Federation Force which is not quite a Metroid Prime game It's a multiplayer focused online shooter set as a spin-off and also Mario and Luigi Paper Jam, which is another installment in the paper Mario series of RPGs for Wii U owners this year There's Super Mario maker coming September 11th Yoshi's wooly world October 16th and later this year animal crossing amiibo festival Sorry, I was yawning there Mario tennis ultra smash and of course Star Fox zero is coming towards the end of the year during the holiday season Finally nintendo nintendo also teased fire emblem fates, which is the western version of fire emblem if and Xenoblade chronicles the next installments in the popular JRPG series That's Xenoblade chronicles X So the two things I took out of Nintendo was oh clever cooperation between Activision on Skylanders because obviously it just means more people are gonna buy games for the Nintendo, which is good for Nintendo and more Skylanders, which is good for Activision It's not I don't think it says revolutionary as some people were saying when they first heard it also yarn is apparently the new big thing 83 this year. Yeah between Yarnie and and Yoshi the Skylanders thing is Wii U exclusive of course for the amiibos amiibo type figures So it's only gonna be talking to people who already own a Wii U I don't think anyone is gonna go out and buy a Wii U just to be able to play those game. You have those characters in Skylanders and honestly again, I have quite a few things to say about Nintendo's conference. It was this Summary makes it seem soup kind of exciting It was the opposite of that and it was even a mistake for Nintendo to do to do one at this stage We're gonna talk about it during the discussion topic Alright, I've got some non-e3 news as well. Twitter is going the way of autoplay the next web reports that video and gifs will now play Automatically, but the sound will be muted until you click on the video or turn the phone to landscape view It's similar to what Facebook does users can opt out But you have to opt out and Twitter automatically Disables the feature if it thinks you have low bandwidth change rolls out today to Twitter comm and Twitter for iOS Android doesn't get that feature yet This time maybe that's a good thing. I don't know Yeah, I love it. I'm not part of the anti autoplay crowd as long as it doesn't activate sound So for me, I'm it's okay I have a problem when I because I open way too many tabs So it's partly a personal problem the autoplay will often cause issues and cause tabs to crash and now that sort of thing Chrome that's true. I I am Super OCD and I close my tabs as soon as I don't need them So I don't I just not scripted now. So forget about it Computer world reports that a UK company called intelligent environment is promising to bring emoji only passcodes to banks They claim emojis as a pin will prevent hackers from identifying common and easily obtainable numerical passcodes like a date of birth or a wedding anniversary There are 44 available emojis which equals to three million four hundred and ninety eight thousand three hundred and eight Unique combinations of non-repeating emojis. No banks have signed on to the system yet. It's it's not To it's not silly though This is a really clever way to get some attention for your company because Anybody can do this. It's you know, emojis are unicode and and you're right You're absolutely right Patrick like if you were to make emojis kind of a standard way to doing pins then You got three million four hundred ninety eight thousand three hundred eight However, that means you can't use that pin at a lot of terminals where all you have is a numerical keypad So there's a long way to go and the banks reaction from this computer world article Anyway seem to be very non-plussed as if they were not terribly sure in in fact Even the spokesperson from intelligent environments said, oh, it'll be around, you know We'll see it within 12 months or so So I don't know what you're what you're saying makes a lot of sense Tom But I really want to use cake monkey poo as my passcode for my bank No, you're right like the idea that if this was actually implemented not just somebody saying hey, we're gonna do it I'd be way on board with that because it it's easier to remember, you know elephant monkey alien face Fish flag if that's your thing Then it is to remember, you know six one seven six or whatever So, yeah, I'm and and there's more combinations and all that. Um, oh, it's not just cake monkey and poo You're right. There's 44 of them. So yeah, there are possibilities TechCrunch reports adobe's creative cloud a new milestone update was announced They even though they constantly roll out updates once a year They roll out all the big updates Kind of to get attention make it easier for you to plan for for these kinds of updates big addition is adobe stock now That's not the stuff you buy on the New York Stock Exchange It's a new stock photo and video service created after the acquisition of Fotolia Photoshop and Lightroom also got a D haze filter a lot of people excited about that Photoshop now has support for art boards as well as an HTML 5 based design space that shows only the tools optimized for app Design so app developers might like that as well Is the adobe stock part of your creative cloud a subscription that's that's really big You still have to pay for Individual over the license for the photos. Okay, I don't know if they have a certain amount that are free because you're a subscriber That's possible. But yeah, they they intend to see this as a revenue generator. I'm sure TechCrunch reports that box is now integrated in Microsoft Office Online Box has already been available in office 365 and box competitor draw box Integrated into office online in April so many boxes. Yeah, this is Mike Microsoft's playing it right They're saying look we want you to start in one drive because that's gonna be easier for us easier for you But hey, you start in Dropbox. We don't mean to not use office because of that and here's the big thing You know what? I'm starting to look at this and realizing wow It might be easier for me to use office online than Google Drive Because I can access these various storage options and Google Drive I have to move everything to Google Drive if I want to use the Google Docs system And you know, I don't know if you've ever used office online I'm not quite clear who can and can't use it because whenever I go to To one drive I can edit the documents that are there in office without a specific subscription and that piece of web app is Amazing they've you know, I don't think Microsoft gets enough praises for their ability to create amazing web apps right now Those office web apps are honestly mind-blowing. Well, I shouldn't say mind-blowing They're excellent in the way that the best office the best web apps you've seen on the web are and it really provides a very Viable alternative even for a lightweight Document editing like we all use in the tech world with Google Drive. It's much more powerful Yeah, there were various versions of office 365 and office online in the past So I think there's some confusion out there But yeah, anybody can go to office dot live comm use office online for free and you get access to word One-note PowerPoint Excel So go to one drive if where you host your files and try to click on the files from there And you'll probably be able to use, you know, I don't even know who can't because I don't have a subscription And I can't know you don't need a subscription. There's limits on how many files you can have there's limits on storage space And so office 365 is for if you want to be able to access through your desktop Versions of the applications because obviously the online version of word doesn't have all the features But yeah, I think you're right I like it Microsoft doesn't get enough credit that office online is essentially Google Drive right now, but with Microsoft Yeah The Verge reports razors open-source virtual reality platform now supports Android as well as position tracking That's a bigger one even position tracking was a noted absence from the initial release back in January hardware support within OS VR will eventually be added to allow Android phones to take the place of a dedicated display in total OS VR now up to 144 supporters probably their biggest ones are unity and unreal engines and Yes, I was not gonna comment on this so go ahead You just have nothing to say no, it's it's there isn't that much to say It's it's like great job open-source virtual reality platform I hope you continue to gain momentum, but yeah, there's not much to say about it at this point, but I'm happy about this Time now for some news from you daily tech news show dot reddit.com if you don't know about it You haven't been listening to the show Because I talk about it every time, but you should go there lots of great stories submitted by the folks in the audience Voted up voted down by the folks in the audience now It's not representative necessarily of every single person in the audience But we certainly pay attention to it because there's no close to 5,000 people in there Let us know what they think and of course Captain Kipper submitted the last pass blog post that attackers had penetrated the password managers network and Accessed account email addresses password reminders server per user salts and authentication has it's hashes So no plain text account passwords and with last pass it gets confusing so pay attention The passwords that they gathered may still be difficult to crack as last pass uses a hundred thousand rounds of server side PBK df2 shaw 256 in addition to client side rounds and to be clear The database of the stored passwords that you store in last pass for other accounts. The whole reason you use last pass was not accessed Only the master password Files and those were encrypted. They were very strongly encrypted But in reaction last pass is put in place email verification Suggesting turning on multi-factor authentication if you haven't already and encouraging all accounts to change their master password just to be extra safe The criticisms of them so far been like well, they took three days to email people Some people say that's faster than most companies would other people say well my I didn't know that I was vulnerable for three days And then of course there's the general theory that hey is Darren kitchen said last Friday You've got to not store really sensitive stuff in these central locations or you could risk losing everything And so we're all of their users passwords Accessed or just a portion of their user base sounds like all of them were they were all Extremely heavily encrypted and that's you know, that's one of the things that we usually see is they still the user names and passwords and the passwords Were weakly encrypted these are very strong if you have an easy to guess password It's still possible that they could crack it if they really want to and it's possible because they got the salts that once they crack one And they got the authentication hashes they might be able to crack more But everything that last pass is done as far as saying we're gonna make you a re reauthenticate if you don't have multi-factor authentication We're gonna suggest you change your master password just to be safe should make this theft Useless if you take those precautions at least for now and if you don't have Two-factor authentication, then what are you doing? Yeah, turn it on? Yeah, good idea Star Fury Zeta posted the article from Mashable that Google Maps can now warn you if a destination will be closed By the time you get there of course the hours of operation have to be correct and Google's traffic estimator has to be accurate But still it's a nice touch for maps. Yeah It's cool. It's it's you know, it's so clever Of course, they tell you how long it's going to take for you to get somewhere if you know Taking traffic into account and send your reminder with taking that into account as well That makes complete sense just an additional small service is cool The real Frank L sent us the New York Times report that the FBI is investigating whether employees of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team hacked into the internal network of the Houston Astros baseball team to steal data on players Investigators have uncovered evidence the Cardinals officials may have obtained internal discussions about trades proprietary statistics and scouting reports Astros GM Jeff Lunow left the Cardinals in December 2011 the FBI believes the attackers used a list of passwords that Mr. Lunow had used while working for the Cardinals and Continued to use while working for the Astros and that's how they were able to access the Astros network So no high-level hacking just a little social engineering and yeah It's very disappointing for me as a Cardinals fan that this may have happened This is you know, just like the EA conference. I tune out as soon as I hear it has anything to do with sports And that's what happened here But there's a really interesting story that you missed then Patrick About yeah, and the lesson of don't use the same passwords in multiple places So let me try this let me try this real Frank L The New York Times report that the FBI is investigating whether employees of one company hacked into the internal networks of another company to steal data Sensitive data was obtained Apparently because the employee had left the first company gone to the second company But use the same passwords he used as the first company and they were able to access the data That is unconscionable You should have changed the password you use I'm outraged excellent job Tom I feel like we now need to do like two versions of every story like that involves any kind of sports. All right That's a look at the headlines E3 man, okay, Sony came out said hey the last Guardian everybody got super excited Then they said file fantasy 7 remake a lot of other people got really excited Shamu 3 was pretty exciting Well Shenmue 3 that was just weird I don't think I have a problem with the idea of going to Kickstarter and it's really a matter of Just why not do it if you can they they have but the real problem with Shenmue 3 You know they get on a huge stage with a huge Hardware manufacturer who's also a publisher and say hey guys we want to make a game give us money on Kickstarter It did feel weird that being said why not you know they they they could do it It's being fun funded at an incredible rate. Did you watch the video of the Kickstarter video for Shenmue 3? No, I didn't watch that video. I did watch the the announcement where they did the countdown that led to nothing Do yourself a favor Go watch that video after the the show it is the lowest production value video you have ever seen it is Horrendous, it's ridiculous. It doesn't give any confidence in anything Ever still, you know, they're making their meeting their goals Whatever Shenmue is a very highly anticipated desired game by the fans and But keep in mind even though it has close to 2.7 million dollars in funding now That's still less than 40,000 Contributors so it's not like the game is gonna get funded just with that amount of money or you know sell enough just with those guys That are super and gals that are super enthusiastic the Shenmue one if my sources are correct Needed if you adjust for inflation 67 million dollars, so that's a lot of people have been saying well you could just you know if you're gonna Fund it anyway with this money. Why do you even need the whatever? They're not gonna fund it with just the Kickstarter money. They need a lot more money than this to create the game anyway Shenmue Assign, how do you feel about the fact that it's 2.6 million to make a German version but 2.7 million to make a French version? The Germans win again. No All the time what wait a minute I don't I don't you know, I don't care about the fact I don't get outraged about the Kickstarter thing Nowadays people know what they're getting into initially. It was a different story people were sort of getting deceived They thought they were gonna get something that wasn't what they were ultimately getting and they didn't know what kick Kickstarter was now If if anyone says well, I thought I was buying the game No, every they're being disingenuous everyone knows especially in this community what Kickstarter is what you're buying into what you're getting and If you don't I think it's on your you know on you as a user as a Kickstarter User to to be a little bit better informed times have changed So I don't have a problem with it. Everyone's being honest, but lest we Somehow give you the impression that the Sony announcement was mostly about Shenmue 3. It wasn't What was the Sony announcement mostly about um, it's well Honestly, I loved that announcement. I thought it was the press conference was good But it was mostly about fan service. It was fan service fan service fan service they opened with the last Guardian which is a spiritual sequel to Ico and Shadow of the Colossus which are games that had a huge following But not if they weren't a huge commercial success So this was really trying to please those people specifically and anyone who hasn't who hadn't heard about that game was probably a little uncertain about what was happening there the Final Fantasy 7 remake was so well received because There's again a very hardcore following of that game specifically that wanted it and last year They announced Final Fantasy 7 on PlayStation 4 but as a port as a Regular old graphics port and people were very disappointed by this. So the remake was well received for that reason I don't think they're huge titles for the general well-being of the PlayStation so it was huge amounts of fan service and What I sort of Realized discussing with people on Twitter and talking about this with other people Is that Sony? Really doesn't have a great lineup for this year ultimately the only big hitter they have is No man's sky that space exploration game Which we we don't really know what the gameplay loop is going to be like We also know release date we they said the release date would come soon But not when the actual game would come they've said it It is this year holiday season if it isn't they don't have anything which is you know frustrating for the Microsoft Fans who are well, let's finish on Sony very quickly though They everything Sony has is usually Next year early next year They have a few Exclusive on portions of content for this year They did make a big statement about Call of Duty being now the new home of Call of Duty is PlayStation And that's a big game obviously and they said that all the map packs all of them would be coming first on PlayStation And it might be a couple of weeks, you know a month early But still it's important if you're gonna choose between two essentially identical consoles And you're a Call of Duty fan and you're gonna want the one that gets the the map packs first Same for Hitman Batman. There are a couple of exclusives there The one thing that I was really surprised about was that they basically did not mention Morpheus they it was a throwaway sentence about that game rigs that they didn't even demo at the show It's basically a mech mech a giant robot fighting game Which makes sense because in a robot you would move your head independently of your body So it would make sense for a VR game, but apart from that they were showing, you know a lot of things for 2016 but not a lot for 2015 and I was saying Microsoft fans must have been a little bit frustrated because ultimately Microsoft had a slightly stronger lineup and bigger announcements that you mentioned last episode for this year And still even though that that situation is completely true I think that the preference of the players went to Sony ultimately all E3 Sorry, go ahead Tom. I keep talking. No. No, I I didn't see that I did and that so that's a very that's a very subjective assessment that that the The winner was named Sony. I I was listening to the IGN broadcast today I was listening to Jeff Keely's broadcast yesterday And he had a lot of people on and they generally seem to prefer Microsoft there now You're talking about the sentiment of the people that you were seeing online talking about it I'm talking about commentators and so that may be the difference there And I I don't think Sony did a bad job because of all the fan service, you know Just but among Final Fantasy 7 and The Last Guardian alone you had people just screaming that they were Feeling great about it. And you know, that's interesting that on the Jeff Keely show on YouTube They went to look at Twitter and the Twitter people were exploding about those very two things Which is what you're talking about Whereas that the more sober people who cover this space said yeah, but they didn't let you there's any what you're saying They didn't announce anything that's coming later this year And so I think that may come back to be a problem for Sony later in the year However, they're already ahead They may feel that it's worth it to give them a little bit of space so they can ramp up and have an amazing 2016 Well, I think it's never a good idea to give too much space to you know your competition and in this case They might have but I think it was a missed opportunity for for Microsoft because they did have cool things You know the compatibility with 360 games is cool But it's not great and currently the big question is whether or not Microsoft would manage to reverse the dynamic of that generation of consoles with Sony having a lead in sales and an installed base that is significant and in order to achieve that I think they couldn't have done that they can't just do as well as Sony does and it's kind of what is My impression with this maybe Microsoft in the mind of some people did a little bit better But not significantly because Sony might not have a lot of things for this year But for Q1 2016, which is not you know that far away from the holiday season. They have a few bigger titles and some Exclusives as well. I think I may have accidentally just read more Sony fans the Microsoft fans because you know No, I'm now I'm talking about the way I'm viewing the trend of the not okay So you personally think Sony did a better job just because they had the better stuff. Is that what you're saying? No, what I'm saying is they basically did an equally good job But in order to reverse the dynamic Microsoft needed to do more than a better job And they would have needed to do something to jolt their the people towards their side Something like you know a slim version of the console or maybe a VR Compatibility with Oculus for example, you know on the Xbox one that would have given them an immediate win and the Compatibility with 360 game is cool, but it's not good enough to reverse the trend the dynamic So Tomb Raider is cool again. It's not cool enough and same for Halo Halo 4 which anyone who is interested in Halo 4 is Probably already going to have purchased an Xbox one So I don't think that we're gonna see a reversal of the existing Balance of power between Microsoft and Sony this year, which might mean I think I might be thinking that Microsoft because they didn't explode at this E3 Might have lost this generation and you know keep in mind losing this generation just means that they're saying less than Sony But they're still selling but loads But I don't think they're gonna catch up to Sony back by this point I don't think that this is the last thing I want to say about Sony versus Microsoft because we got to talk about Nintendo too I don't think that Microsoft has lost the generation yet I think I think it would be a mistake to say that just because Microsoft didn't leap in front of Sony at this conference That that it's all over the game is is a is a much too long term for that I think you're absolutely right though that Microsoft didn't do enough to definitively leap in front of Sony But Microsoft has been catching up on its own and they did the fundamentals well and sometimes that's all you need It may not be as dramatic it may not be as obvious But sometimes when you just do the little things well if the other team doesn't do something great You know and and and super excellent that you can take advantage of right away You can catch them up and and that I think is Microsoft's strategy They're hoping that we'll continue this forward progress. We've been making we will catch them by the holiday season and then 2016 will tell the tale and I think we'll see big announcements from both these companies at next year's E3 Well, I agree on that But I think that they're not gonna catch up by this holiday season Unfortunately because I love Microsoft and I want more reasons to buy an Xbox one I'm not being part partisan here and I think that 2016 Sony showed a stronger lineup Microsoft has a strong stronger lineup for 2015 but for 2016 Sony had a stronger lineup Which is why I think they're gonna keep but we'll see I you know I guess we'll we'll see what happens and Sony also has Morpheus on the PlayStation side Microsoft unfortunately doesn't have anything on the virtual reality. Well, or they have everything I mean the the the other way to look at it is Microsoft said valve great. We'll work with that Oculus great We'll work with that a hollow lens. Yeah, we're gonna put that out And you could look at it as Microsoft having more options because they're more of being more of an open platform They're not an open platform in this case not really because that's a mistake that a lot of people are doing they're assuming that Microsoft announced compatibility for Xbox one for these VR platforms. They didn't they announced compatibility for Windows 10 which is coming to Xbox one later this year. I think you're gonna see compatibility there. That is the one Ace trump in the trump card in the sleeve. Let's not get political If they announced, you know by at the end of the year Compatibility on Xbox one then I think it's the one way that they could actively, you know That's what I said initially if they have Oculus compatibility It's a huge win for Oculus and a huge win for Microsoft and that might reverse thing. It could happen I for sure. All right, you are not a big fan of Sony or Microsoft in particular. We get that you're very even-handed there you You are a big fan of Nintendo though. I know that And I know that you were not pleased by what you saw today. So yeah, just to correct the statement I'm a big fan of Sony Microsoft and Nintendo. I'm a fan of everyone But yeah, Nintendo's Nintendo's e3 Nintendo Direct which wasn't really a press conference. It was a pre-recorded video. I think on that On that one. I think we'll agree that the reactions pretty much everywhere was were at least very underwhelmed Nintendo did a lot of small announcement. Nothing was really Exciting they hinted at the NX system as they said they wouldn't talk about it this year They hinted and said we'll talk about this in 2016 But everyone seemed underwhelmed and to the point that what they were showing was so Well underwhelming that I'm I'm thinking they should not have Done that video at e3. They would have been better off not doing the video at all because I honestly think their brand and their goodwill was Tarnished a little bit by this thing. It feels like they have a Small stable of games that they're gonna release Until the end of the year and that's gonna be you know mainly star Fox which Did not look super good because the Wii U is showing its limits and for these these types of games You need probably a little bit more horsepower for the artistic style they're going with and No, no mention of the legend of Zelda Wii U that will come probably in 2016, but that's the current consoles last who raw and it feels like Nintendo is now on the development side 90% on the NX so this current generation of consoles that we still have to live with for probably 18 months are losing steam very rapidly and and It showed in there in their presentation But amiibo's Right some people you know there is a segment of the population that's super the Muppets were kind of cute initially, but I think it was I've been saying that those Nintendo Directs were Awkward at first and then became kind of awkwardly cute I think this one was the one too many where it went back to being just awkward and weird all right bottom line Was there anything good at this year's E3 there were many good things There wasn't VR which was surprising yeah, everyone thought this was all this E3 will be dominated by VR not the case and Not the case and I think that pushes back the development of VR from you know Early to mid 2016 to at least end of 2016 because games are gonna be a very important component of that, but No, there were huge lots of cool things. I mean the games that were presented are a huge Potential for for fun and for gamers the games that were introduced at the other conferences were super Exciting there were Bethesda's conference by the way was great for their first conference at E3 It was a huge success in every respect and I did a very quick on scientific Survey of people's level of excitement for the different Conferences Sony went in first with 44% Microsoft second 25% there might be you know Preferences there, but EA and Ubisoft had 4 and 6% Bethesda had 20% so they really I think they might have stolen the show as Developer or publisher and not a manufacturer a few games were very cool You know doomed dishonored all of those full out for of course the Tomb Raider I'm a huge fan of Gears of War 4. It's gonna be coming in 2016 But it looked cool enough mass effect for it 2016 as well end of year But still unravel was exciting But the one game that I think I'm I was the most surprised about was a horizon Horizon Zero Dawn That game was came out of nowhere That's the mechadino one, right? Yeah, and and when you have here the pitch, you know It's post-apocalyptic world with mechanized dinosaurs, you know robot dinosaurs that you're hunting It sounds like the stupidest thing ever, but the intro to that game. Well the stupidest and coolest I I agree, but the intro to that game made it look and feel Genuine and you know the way that heroine Interacted with the robots in a kind of almost Avatar kind of way, you know, she killed the little one and she said oh, I'm sorry little one I couldn't let you call your friends, you know apologizing to the machine that she considered an animal of some kind It was strange and interesting So there is a lot to be excited about it's just that the dynamic is not changing with that E3 And we thought it was going to there. We're gonna be big shake-ups. I don't think we're gonna see them Yeah, I agree with you there. I'm excited about Super Mario maker September 11th 2015 They're they're having it in Best Buy is in the US and Canada between June 17th and June 20th as well I think that's the coolest thing that I saw Nintendo announce PlayStation view came to Los Angeles. So I got a chance to try it yesterday. It's really well done Needs more channels and needs a little easier way to find what's on demand There's a little confusion about like not having the rights to show some things, but the interface Is very slick compared to sling TV. I'm also excited about no man's sky whenever that actually comes and Tomb Raider I Was fixated, you know, I'm sitting there taking notes looking at live blogs Tomb Raider came up and I was just Stopped everything I was doing and just watched. I thought that was amazing Tomb Raider is an excellent version of Uncharted It's it's it looks like a fantastic game Which is ironic because Uncharted was an improvement over the Tomb Raider formula and Uncharted 4 I'm trying to look pretty good maidens as well Street Fighter 5. I'm a huge Street Fighter fan But the one thing maybe okay, just to to finish up we're being long, but the one thing I really enjoyed was the Change in female representation in the game in the in the show both on stage and in games I think there's there was a realization Last year and maybe even the year before that there was an unbalanced there in the way we approached that Which isn't really an issue the way we represent females in games and it shows because the developers Realized that oh wait a second. We really are not doing a good job at this And probably we should pay a little bit more attention and it showed in the games this year So in the games and again on stage we even had a woman on the Nintendo video, which is unheard of But yeah, I think that that's a positive thing and I think people are realizing after the the entire Controversy that that sparked that you can have bad-ass female characters in games and it's not a big deal You're still gonna have good games. So that was that made me happy I think it is sad that we still have to point it out But you're right that it's progress and I think the underlying problem is that you know We just don't have an open enough system so that we don't have to pay attention to that and it would just naturally occur Well, it's it's changing. I think this is one. This is when it's changing. So our pick of the day comes from fronds In insert weather conditions here, Austria. I don't know what your weather conditions are fronds By the way, not a requirement to give us your conditions when you write to us It's a lot of people seem to I Says to play your existing PC games in full stereoscopic 3d. I recommend try death 3d at try death.com t-r-i-d-e-f.com the software access middleware driver for games that use direct 3d 9 10 or 11 and offers extensive tweaking works with all brands of GPUs and many types of 3d tech including color separation and even VR headsets There is a list of supported games on their website After testing all my games. I found a surprisingly large amount of them work He says 75% of them worked some as even as old as 2003 here the two downsides He's like $40 us. It's expensive But there is a free two-week trial if you just want to try it out and the hardware requirements are steep Also, it takes a certain mindset to tolerate the tinkering and potential frustration that comes with the initial setup process However, he says once I got a run and it was great So if 3d is your thing and you're willing to put in a little effort check it out try death com t-r-i-d-e-f.com The beauty of being able to tinker with PCs is unparalleled. I wonder though Oh, by the way, there's a one conference left, which is the PC gaming conference later today So hopefully we we might still have exciting surprises there, but I'm wondering if they provide the puke bag with the thing because Not not there's an open-source design for a puke bag though As an extension so send your pics to feedback at daily tech news show calm You can find my pics at daily tech news show comm slash pics Alan found it interesting that Microsoft ads backward compatibility Xbox one He said Sony got a little backlash for no backwards compatibility in the ps4 But they did start out with some backwards compatibility in the ps3 Before they phased it out to me this makes it seems like backwards compatibility is only a move to make when you're behind in the market Kind of goes to your point Patrick Mm-hmm a little bit and then Tim says I apologize if you and Veronica Oh, sorry.

I wanted to note that in 2013 board game publisher cryptozoic rescued the project The doom that came to Atlantic City He's referring to Allison and Todd talking about the FTC taking consumer protection Action against Eric Chevalier for his Kickstarter campaign that failed Cryptozoic did this without receiving any money from the original campaign And our our emailer felt they deserved a shout out for a gesture of goodwill towards the board gaming community So then did you know about cryptozoic jumping in like that and and helping out to rescue essentially a game that that people had tried to To fund but didn't get fun and then got in trouble with the FTC I didn't realize but you know the the the card game and and board game community seems really tight-knit and Like these kinds of things would happen.

Have a good time off. Thanks. Bye Bye Love you. Bye. Bye Yeah, hi I I had some point really want to go eat lunch before class or else. I'm going to be a miserable sumber Why you leave you? I why you not eat lunch already? It's up to people. It's just been that forever Just you need a pill that's called lunch that you can just swallow I was I used to dream about that as a kid me too It would see the looney tunes cartoon They had an episode where That's funny gets shrunken down and he comes across a bunch of dehydrated foods that like are really small and you add water and they get really big 12 20 times I remember splinter of the mind's eye that that very first star wars novel Had Luke Skywalker eating a food cube. I don't think it was called a food cube, but it was essentially a food Like like a nor chicken bouillon Just gave him all his nutrients in one little cube and I was like, oh, I want that Then you realize that there's so many other things that go on when you eat that your body needs I don't realize nothing. You can't make me Okay, you're right No, you're right. That's that's the problem with um There's liquid diet soylent Soylent they keep trying to balance it to have more fiber or whatever You know about soylent, right? It's made of people Well, I don't think it's made it that may be the problem is the current soylent isn't made of people yet It's like a powder hiding their face Well, no, there's that soylent green it's made of people Oh, no, there was out that hole. I'm not sure if it's still a fat. I don't know. It is a fad Where people especially in the tech industry works just long hours. They need to get their meals in quickly and so they've resorted to these like Not high protein, but like these complete nutrient shakes that you can buy And that you drink instead of eating like lunch. It's almost like if you Yeah, well the first one was I'm sure the other ones have different names. It's the same Same thing, but it's uh, it's kind of like the uh, slim fast diet Except you don't really eat a balanced meal at the end. You just keep drinking it So you can put in more hours To work at your startup Make the VC happy. I'm dangerously close to that moment But really I'm ending up in five minutes at the Warner Brothers commissary. So it's all going to be okay Loony tunes Oh, did you see it place for the dehydrated loony tunes food? Oh, you're right. I totally am That's probably all that's going to be left 30 to be honest is like is this a piece of bread? I will eat it if you're walking up to the commissary and you hear Do-do-do-do-do-do then you'll know I am actually excited when I have a little bit more mula disposable mula to go to the Warner Brothers Gift shop because I anticipate many cool things are there That's yeah, that's why that's there designed to separate you from your money Yeah Grandpa tag You know what once you have a kid you start thinking like you were like that before don't pretend it's don't blame your daughter Just play the fact that you were born a miser I think Jen mark would say like roger the only one here. That's gonna be a millionaire. It's like why is because you Don't spend any money I mean well the part of it was like I was like well, you know all the stuff like I would have normally bought I used to get in for reviews So it's like I played with it. It's like, uh, okay. I don't really need to buy it and so I think that kind of Was one of the big things I'm sure game game Game reviewers are kind of the same way you get so many games Um as review copies that you're like, no, I don't really need to buy Yeah, why would you question? Yes Can someone do the video part for me today where you upload it to archive? Because that will make the difference between the eating and the not eating Yes So grateful for you. Yeah, roger. I'll do it. Yep Yeah Can I guarantee like it'll be done like within an hour or anything? But yeah, I don't sometimes it takes an hour For the process to unfold on slow days. So yeah, I still need to pump out these notes Revelations Cool I'm just well, I'm gonna go think big thoughts about a web series and by the way Thank you to every single person who wrote in or tweeted or gave us information yesterday about about 360 degree video because Even if I don't think I can assign it now I can talk about how they all should be thinking about it That's great. And that is super helpful. So and I'll be going into detail more about it in other classes But I just felt like I was like, oh, thank you chat around. Thank you DTNS listeners.

Uh Yes, you know, I will say maybe it's trailer fatigue, but like the more trailers I see the less I'm like, yeah, I mean like movies games or whatever. It's okay. Yeah, uh, maybe I'll tell you one thing I've noticed for sure not so much that for me, but uh, I go to the movies now and I've already seen half the trailers And it becomes yeah, and I get that reaction and like, oh right. I've already seen this one So, you know, I used to be the fun part of watching the trailers before the movie is like Oh, I haven't you know, I haven't heard about this movie get to see a little bit about it But now that you can watch them Like immediately on your laptop and I do I kind of remember when there were cartoons and there were only two trailers before a movie You could see actually remember seeing freaking bugs bunny playing before a movie I watched uh, Ferdinand the uh, the shy the bashful bull or whatever. Oh, yeah, yeah Right before um, I had the books Ferdinand had books This is if I was just the one story Well, maybe there was only one book.
