[0.00 --> 6.80] Alright guys, it is WAN show time! We had a couple people...
[6.80 --> 11.60] We've got people complaining that we're an hour late. We are not an hour late.
[11.60 --> 16.92] Daylight savings time is a thing here in the Canada... well not in all of Canada,
[16.92 --> 21.36] but we've been through this last week so I'm not gonna spend too much time on it.
[21.36 --> 25.64] I actually just realized that I don't have my headphones on me so I'm not
[25.64 --> 31.52] monitoring the audio so for all I feel they're not hearing any of this.
[31.52 --> 37.88] Rock on! So anyway, here we go. I'm gonna go ahead and make sure that we actually have audio.
[37.88 --> 40.76] It looks like we do! So...
[40.76 --> 47.92] Got people being like, no sound! No sound! I love you guys! I love you so much!
[47.92 --> 54.80] Hey Brandon, speaking of no sound, can you center the camera for us? I think it like fell.
[54.80 --> 58.68] Thanks man! I don't know how this happens all the time. I don't even get it.
[58.68 --> 60.68] Ghost phantom camera movers.
[60.68 --> 64.68] I actually know exactly how it happens. I'm usually the one who moves it by accident.
[64.68 --> 65.68] What?
[65.68 --> 71.68] No, because the tripod is not actually secured very well. Here Brandon, just look over here.
[71.68 --> 73.68] But what are you doing in here all the time?
[73.68 --> 77.68] Well, I'm borrowing the lens or stuff like that so...
[77.68 --> 78.68] Oh...
[78.68 --> 82.68] Or like turning off the camera because you guys were in a really small room.
[82.68 --> 88.72] Like actually really small. Like really small. So the camera is on a tripod where like the
[88.72 --> 94.00] back legs are like vertical and the front legs like out like this. So the camera is like right
[94.00 --> 96.56] against the wall. I can barely reach the power button.
[96.56 --> 102.68] Alright, so we got a great show for you guys today. Actually fantastic show.
[102.68 --> 116.68] Google has begun talking about their smartwatch OS Android Wear. So this is a type of Android that when it bites other Androids they become infected and...
[116.68 --> 118.68] Nope.
[118.68 --> 120.72] Not Wear Android? Nope.
[120.72 --> 122.72] No? Android Wear? Not Wear?
[122.72 --> 123.72] I got it.
[123.72 --> 124.72] It was a joke.
[124.72 --> 125.72] Yeah.
[125.72 --> 127.72] It was a rather clever one.
[127.72 --> 137.72] So Android Wear is going to be an OS that is specifically optimized for wearables and one of the first products we're going to see is the Moto 360.
[137.72 --> 146.12] Which has people internally here at Linus Media Group anyway extremely excited because it's round.
[146.12 --> 147.24] Well that brings in my...
[147.24 --> 148.52] Okay, I tried to keep this...
[148.52 --> 149.82] Hold on, we're not getting into this topic yet.
[150.00 --> 150.22] Oh?
[150.62 --> 152.94] You have to do your introductory topics, then the intro.
[153.14 --> 154.54] I got so excited. I was ready to go.
[154.60 --> 154.68] Anyways...
[154.68 --> 157.10] I don't think we've got to tease the audience. Don't just, you know...
[157.10 --> 158.26] My teasing articles...
[158.26 --> 159.92] Put out entirely right up front.
[159.92 --> 164.16] Is that there's something called Project Morpheus coming from Sony which has to do with VR.
[164.16 --> 170.64] And there's something more direct called Developer Kit 2 coming from Oculus which is about VR.
[170.64 --> 174.32] And we'll talk about both those things in their hopefully entirety later.
[174.32 --> 179.92] And there's also a documentary released by Valve which some people are either on either side of a fence for.
[179.92 --> 182.72] And that fence seems to be completely hating it or completely loving it.
[182.72 --> 184.16] So we'll talk about that later as well.
[184.16 --> 185.16] Alright.
[185.92 --> 186.42] Bam.
[189.92 --> 191.92] Bam.
