[0.00 --> 10.00] Alright guys, welcome to the WAN show and I'm down a pair of earphones for monitoring so technical difficulties abound. |
[10.00 --> 15.00] We've got a great show for you guys today though there is a ton of fantastic news. |
[15.00 --> 26.00] I'm also going to have some early thoughts on the Droid Turbo, which is the phone that I have just started using as of last night and I'm pretty darn impressed with so far. |
[26.00 --> 35.00] And of course he's going to talk about Oculus because the Oculus excitement fairies visited in the night and told us that the retail version is coming soon. |
[35.00 --> 38.00] So let's go through what our main topics for today are. |
[38.00 --> 44.00] There's of course a ton of news from Blizzcon and not just like Hearthstone, now with tablets. |
[44.00 --> 48.00] I mean they have that too, but there's other stuff. |
[48.00 --> 62.00] Now you can use your Gmail app with any email service including ones like Hotmail who completely lacked apps for years and years and years and years and just generally kind of suck as a mobile experience. |
[62.00 --> 65.00] Now you can just use the Gmail interface. |
[65.00 --> 66.00] Woo! |
[66.00 --> 71.00] Yeah, Google can have your data without even storing anything on their servers now. |
[71.00 --> 74.00] Like you just skim it and let someone else deal with that problem. |
[74.00 --> 75.00] That's right. |
[75.00 --> 76.00] Zalman is bankrupt. |
[76.00 --> 77.00] Or not. |
[77.00 --> 78.00] Maybe. |
[78.00 --> 79.00] Yeah, something's going on. |
[79.00 --> 85.00] Anyways, and just as like the trustiest steam machine you could ever possibly imagine, get the pun? |
[85.00 --> 94.00] Anyways, Ubisoft keeps on digging and was able to push through the news of their horribleness through all the mess of Blizzcon news. |
[94.00 --> 95.00] Which is a lot. |
[95.00 --> 96.00] Impressive. |
[96.00 --> 97.00] And important stuff. |
[97.00 --> 99.00] I'm not even mad, that's just amazing. |
[99.00 --> 103.00] It's just like a wow, good work. |
[103.00 --> 106.00] You are at an impressive level of stuff. |
[106.00 --> 109.00] That is really good, good work. |
[109.00 --> 110.00] Alright, so let's roll the intro here. |
[110.00 --> 113.00] Let's see if it's set up correctly because I didn't do it. |
[113.00 --> 115.00] There's sound. |
[115.00 --> 117.00] Alright, okay. |
[117.00 --> 122.00] Now, um, shoot I forget which one of it was. |
[122.00 --> 125.00] One of our sponsors asked very nicely to go first. |
[125.00 --> 128.00] So it's going to be a 50-50 coin toss at this point because I don't know who it was. |
[128.00 --> 130.00] I don't know which one. |
[130.00 --> 134.00] Alright, so our sponsors today are lynda.com. |
[134.00 --> 142.00] Visit lynda.com slash wanshow so that we get credit for referring you to lynda.com, which I guess benefits us somehow. |
[142.00 --> 143.00] Woo! |
[143.00 --> 144.00] Woo! |
[144.00 --> 149.00] And also dollarshaveclub.com, shave time and shave money. |
[149.00 --> 154.00] You know, we should just do both of the sponsors at the same time from now on. |
[154.00 --> 159.00] So it should just be like, lynda.com. |
[159.00 --> 162.00] Yeah, shave your knowledge and expand your beard. |
[162.00 --> 163.00] Yeah. |
[163.00 --> 164.00] Wait, what? |
[164.00 --> 166.00] No, opposite of that. |
[166.00 --> 167.00] I can't take credit. |
[167.00 --> 168.00] That was Nick's idea. |
[168.00 --> 169.00] Oh. |
[169.00 --> 170.00] Wrong way around. |
[170.00 --> 172.00] Apparently I got them wrong, but that's okay because I'm not going to concern myself. |
[172.00 --> 174.00] Expand your knowledge and shave your beard. |
[174.00 --> 176.00] No, expand your beard, shave your knowledge. |
[176.00 --> 177.00] We'll do both the same thing. |
[177.00 --> 179.00] Is that a Movember thing? |
[179.00 --> 180.00] Yeah. |
[180.00 --> 181.00] Expand your beard, shave your knowledge. |
[181.00 --> 183.00] Yeah, Movember and like knowledge. |
[183.00 --> 184.00] Expand your beard, shave your wallet. |
[184.00 --> 185.00] That's November. |
[185.00 --> 189.00] Because you have to donate to the Movember cause and you have to expand your beard. |
[189.00 --> 194.00] And you have more to donate to the Movember cause because Dollar Shave Club saves you money on razors. |
[194.00 --> 195.00] There you go. |
[197.00 --> 204.00] Alright, so let's get into our first topic today, which is going to be that Blizzard should just stop making games. |
[204.00 --> 217.00] Because their cinematic trailers for things, the Warlords of Draenor one, the one for Overwatch that just came out today, that I was like spellbound by. |
[217.00 --> 219.00] Okay, so I love animated movies. |
[219.00 --> 220.00] Me too. |
[220.00 --> 221.00] I love The Incredibles. |
[221.00 --> 223.00] That's one of my favorite movies of all time. |
[223.00 --> 225.00] I loved Megamind. |
[225.00 --> 229.00] Like that, action animated movies turns me on. |
[229.00 --> 230.00] Seriously. |
[230.00 --> 239.00] So, that trailer today, oh man, I'm glad I was alone in the room because I would have knocked something over with the... |
[240.00 --> 243.00] Yeah, so, freaking awesome. |
[243.00 --> 244.00] It's really good. |
[244.00 --> 259.00] And, and, they didn't pull that whole BS Square Enix thing where there's like a 16 minute long cinematic trailer of like some really impressively spiky haired dude with like an impressively huge sword that's also a gun and a laser beam or something. |
[259.00 --> 262.00] Like twirling around with it or whatever. |
[262.00 --> 263.00] We didn't get any of that. |
[263.00 --> 267.00] Or like, you know, dramatic silence broody thing. |
[267.00 --> 268.00] And then, no gameplay? |
[268.00 --> 271.00] Because they know we're not gonna like it. |
