[148.00 --> 149.00] Um... |
[149.00 --> 156.00] But, uh, anyway, sorry, probably better known for Fear, Condemned, Fear 2, and then more |
[156.00 --> 157.00] recently... |
[157.00 --> 158.00] The Fear series, definitely, yeah. |
[158.00 --> 159.00] Yeah. |
[159.00 --> 163.00] Um, uh, so Middle-earth, Shadow of Mordor, and Middle-earth, Shadow of War... |
[163.00 --> 164.00] Yeah. |
[164.00 --> 167.00] ...are probably what they are better known for developing. |
[167.00 --> 172.00] Um, and those last two have been done since the Warner Brothers acquisition, so that's how |
[172.00 --> 174.00] they managed to get the rights to make... |
[174.00 --> 175.00] Yeah. |
[175.00 --> 176.00] ...Middle-earth games. |
[176.00 --> 177.00] Yeah. |
[177.00 --> 181.00] So, anyway, I got to go down there and check these guys out, and I didn't find out that |
[181.00 --> 186.00] I was going to be going until, I think, Tuesday... late Tuesday night. |
[186.00 --> 195.00] And I left here early Thursday morning, so I actually had to get up at like 6.15 in the |
[195.00 --> 201.00] morning, and then meet Pella at the office, and then we had to leave the office by about |
[201.00 --> 203.00] 7.30, 7.45. |
[203.00 --> 208.00] That got us down there for a little after 10, and then we shot all day. |
[208.00 --> 210.00] So we actually shot for... |
[210.00 --> 212.00] Because they have a lot of stuff at their studio. |
[212.00 --> 217.00] Half hour lunch, so we shot for like 10 hours or so, and then we left late at night. |
[217.00 --> 219.00] We got some Five Guys on the way back. |
[219.00 --> 220.00] Nice, there you go. |
[220.00 --> 221.00] So that was pretty sick. |
[221.00 --> 222.00] Yeah. |
[222.00 --> 224.00] You can't go down to America without getting some Five Guys burger and fries. |
[224.00 --> 225.00] Well, Five Guys is in Canada now. |
[225.00 --> 226.00] What? |
[226.00 --> 227.00] Yeah. |
[227.00 --> 228.00] How did you not know this? |
[228.00 --> 229.00] Really? |
[229.00 --> 234.00] It's cheaper than it is down there, because two burgers and one medium fries was almost |
[234.00 --> 235.00] 30 Canadian dollars. |
[235.00 --> 241.00] So there's a Five Guys in North Van and just like... |
[241.00 --> 246.00] I'm not going to say whose house that's near, but it's there. |
[246.00 --> 247.00] You know whose house that's near. |
[247.00 --> 249.00] Oh, wow. |
[249.00 --> 250.00] That's crazy. |
[250.00 --> 251.00] Yeah. |
[251.00 --> 254.00] I don't know if they're like anywhere else. |
[254.00 --> 256.00] Yeah, it doesn't look like it. |
[256.00 --> 257.00] Oh, cool. |
[257.00 --> 258.00] Well, at any rate... |
[258.00 --> 260.00] I did specifically say Vancouver. |
[260.00 --> 265.00] So we were shooting there for like 10 hours, and man, that place is so cool. |
[265.00 --> 266.00] Like, I don't want to give away everything. |
[266.00 --> 267.00] It's amazing. |
[267.00 --> 268.00] It's great there. |
[268.00 --> 269.00] But like... |
[269.00 --> 271.00] Oh, dude, there's one in Surrey. |
[271.00 --> 272.00] Oh, wow. |
[272.00 --> 273.00] Okay. |
[273.00 --> 275.00] I'm totally going to go at some point. |
[275.00 --> 276.00] Yeah. |
[276.00 --> 278.00] But yeah, it was like super amazing. |
[278.00 --> 281.00] They were really, really open, which was probably the coolest thing about it. |
[281.00 --> 282.00] Yeah. |
[282.00 --> 286.00] Like, there was one thing they really wouldn't show us. |
[286.00 --> 287.00] Well, they showed me actually. |
[287.00 --> 290.00] They let me into the server room, but they wouldn't let us film it. |
[290.00 --> 291.00] Oh, yeah. |
[291.00 --> 292.00] Yeah, I'm not surprised. |
[292.00 --> 293.00] And they were... |
[293.00 --> 294.00] You know, there was stuff that I wouldn't have even considered. |
[294.00 --> 297.00] So the server room is technically like Warner Brothers property. |
[297.00 --> 298.00] Oh. |
[298.00 --> 299.00] And... |
[299.00 --> 300.00] Yeah, that makes sense. |
[300.00 --> 301.00] Makes sense. |
[301.00 --> 302.00] Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. |
[302.00 --> 306.00] And so they couldn't give me details like how fast their internet connection is. |
[306.00 --> 309.00] They couldn't tell me what speed their internal networking is running at. |
[309.00 --> 311.00] I just thought it was cool that they do that on site. |
[311.00 --> 316.00] But they did tell me that their internal networking is way beyond 10 gig. |
[316.00 --> 317.00] Oh. |
[317.00 --> 318.00] Wow. |
[318.00 --> 324.00] Well, you think about what their like animators are working on, like the size of some of the |
[324.00 --> 327.00] assets that they must be working with, how responsive it needs to be. |
[327.00 --> 330.00] They've got somewhere between 150 and 200 people, according to Glassdoor. |
[330.00 --> 334.00] Like, yeah, it would have to be pretty banging infrastructure. |
[334.00 --> 335.00] Man, that would have been pretty cool. |
[335.00 --> 337.00] I totally understand why. |
[337.00 --> 338.00] And it was cool, by the way. |
[338.00 --> 339.00] Yeah. |
[339.00 --> 340.00] But we couldn't film it. |
[340.00 --> 341.00] Yeah. |
[341.00 --> 343.00] But they did give us some cool stats. |
[343.00 --> 349.00] So they told us they have about 800 terabytes of storage on site, which, man, you should have |
[349.00 --> 353.00] seen the guy stiffen when I said, oh, hey, that's almost as much as we have. |
[353.00 --> 361.00] Because you know, like, how many hard drives you have is like... |
[361.00 --> 362.00] Yeah, yeah. |
[362.00 --> 365.00] The IT guy's like dick measuring contest, right? |
[365.00 --> 371.00] There's the dick measuring contest on the forum of like who has more storage, basically. |
[371.00 --> 372.00] There's a whole thread there. |
[372.00 --> 373.00] The 100 terabyte club, I think it's called. |
[373.00 --> 374.00] I think so, yeah. |
[374.00 --> 375.00] Yeah. |
[375.00 --> 376.00] So that is... |
[376.00 --> 377.00] That's funny. |
