Three years ago, I made a two-part series of me reviewing every Halo game on my first YouTube channel. At the time, it was an ambitious and well-crafted masterpiece, according to the 15-year-old self of me. But after reviewing it as an adult, the quality actually represents the product of a 15-year-old kid. For the last four weeks, I've been eating, sleeping, as well as breathing Halo. I've played every game's campaign story mode on normal difficulty, at the same time, every game mode from every individual game's multiplayer section. I've taken many notes with multiple friends while going through these games. Yikes. When I made the video, Halo 5 was only after two years, and I still had opinions I wanted to stay on the video game, and I wanted to also use previous games for comparison. The plan was to review every Halo game and give them a review one by one. But I only made it to reach, and my friend Kaden did Halo 4, for me, while I was editing the reach portion. I never made it to Halo 5, because after putting in a lot of effort on these two videos I made that were lengthy with fast-paced editing and narration, they were never seen or noticed. Years later now, I understand the unrealistic goals I had, but being a kid and seeing something you were very passionate about flock was extremely unmotivating, so I moved on to other videos and projects and never finished the Halo franchise. So in honor of the kid me, I'm gonna remake this series with less voice cracks and better audio. And it should be easier now with Halo being accessible to PCs. I'm gonna play through Halo 1, 2, and reach on the computer and finish the rest on the console. No, I've played every Halo multiple times, but at this point, I just need another round to fully refresh my brain. Also, I'm now humbled. It's a sad realization, but because of it, I'm covering each game on its own video. So with this outro out the way, let's transition to the first Halo game. Halo Combat Evolved launched in November 15, 2001. The PS2 was already a year old by the time Halo came out, and had multiple exclusives for the console, so Halo was the only title Xbox had for a fighting chance. And now with Halo Infinite being the only fighting chance for the new Xbox, it's kind of ironic how it went full circle. I wasn't alive for Halo 1. The first Halo I played was Halo 2, but I replayed Halo 1 with my stepdad when Halo 3 came out. And even if I was able to play Halo 1, I would have been an infinite at the time, without any chance to experience it properly. But now I could play it remastered in its original form with an uncapped frame rate. What a time to be alive. Halo 1 starts with the pillar bottom being attacked by an alien race called the Covenant. So the main character, the Master Chief, is awakened by his AI Cortana to help fight the attack before the ship crash lands on Halo. Halo is a ring that is alive in like a planet almost. Then we find out the Covenant loves old forerunner technology, and you find out Halo is a weapon to kill a parasite called the Flood. But also Halo kills everybody else on the Halo rings. So what happens is you end up destroying Halo and you save the day. Pretty basic campaign, I guess. I really don't have a nostalgia for Halo 1, and it's definitely the most linear Halo game and my least enjoyable campaign for me to play. Well, besides this one. I definitely respect Halo 1 for what it is though. It revolutionized the shooting genre and did something that was never done before. Without Halo 1, a lot of modern shooters wouldn't be around. So I'm glad Halo 1 exists, but in comparison to its sequels, it's bare bone and linear. I know in the current generation it's natural to expect a sequel not to be better than the original, but at the time of peak video game creativity, this was not the case. Halo 1 was a stepping stone for later Halo games, and Bungie did what any sequel should do, evolve, improve, and progress. I don't like making this video because it's hard to critique Halo 1 fairly. Halo 1 is not generally everybody's favorite game, but everyone still understands that the game was the first of its kind, and it's the reason their favorite Halo games do exist. The game is not flawless and for anybody to say they genuinely love replaying it from start to finish is most likely not being truthful. With the knowledge of every Halo game, Halo 1 is underwhelming because of how outshined it is. But this isn't a bad thing because it's old and the first of its kind, so people just need to be truthful. If you were forced to play any Halo game, Halo 1 would probably not be the first picked. Hey, at least it's better to be outshined by age rather than poor choice making. Like this game. It feels like playing a teaser for what's to come in the future, and while I was playing this, I wanted to hurry up so I could beat and go play Halo 2. If you were to drop in on Halo 1 without any knowledge of any other halos, it's confusing why things are happening and a lot go unanswered until the sequel. Who is the Covenant? What's their hierarchy? Why do they care? Who's the Flood? What's their purpose? Who's their hierarchy? Why do they care? You're just shooting mindless aliens with only one goal of killing until you beat your objective, and you don't get to understand the perspective what the Covenant or the Flood are doing until Halo 2. It's cool to be Master Chief and, you know, you having importance in comparison to any normal soldier, but in the context of Halo 1, you still have no clue who Master Chief is.   This isn't a problem either, but still, criticism someone might want to pinpoint for an argument. A lot of criticisms are unfair to Halo 1 because of how aged it is, so I'm just gonna stop nitpicking. Halo 2 and 3 outshine Halo 1 in every way. Story, writing, gameplay, and design, but that's expected because after the first game, they got their footing and improved in every single way. So with that, I'll just start to praise the game instead of critiquing it now. Halo 1's soundtrack is incredible and iconic. Martin O'Donnell did an amazing job with the score and the main theme of this game. The gameplay was also fluid and original at the time. The shooting was fun and felt very unique, and every gun had, like, a certain type of charm to it. The reload animations were fluid and dramatic. The enemies you played against had unique movement compared to any other game. Halo 1 in total was the best stepping stone of all time, introduced this legendary franchise. And I will forever be grateful that it exists, because it brought me to one of my favorite games ever.  It aged and has been outshined by its sequels, but it did what it did for the future of gaming, and it changed Xbox forever. That's what I have to say about Halo 1. I like to hear your opinions and experiences in the comments, and if you want to see me cover Halo 2 and the rest of the games, please subscribe. See you guys.


Worldwide tend to be very similar whereas Mexican restaurants do not well I think it has to do with the way Italian immigration Happened and so at least at least through the Americas when when Italian immigrants Arrived they brought you know, whatever at that period of time the popular recipes were that you know people are eating And it's one of the reasons why at least in Australia They say like Melbourne has such a sophisticated coffee cultures because when the Italian immigrants arrived in Australia At that period of time like cap or express those were like the big thing for more on Rogers thoughts on Italian immigration See this week's East meets West you should also check out There's a really good Netflix documentary on that like on on it's supposed to my immediate question is is if if that's why Italian food is Is so similar worldwide why isn't Mexican food more similar worldwide? I think it's because I need more similar worldwide. I think that happens So it depends like for example, a lot of the Chinese immigration that came out of China initially like during the 1800s Came from a very specific province of China. So the recipes they carried were very regional to that Very very inquisitive So a lot of I interestingly left a note of Northern Italians ended up in Latin America or South America Well, a lot of south Southern Italians ended up in the US and North America But then why isn't Italian food very worldwide more? Why is it always? I had a pretty crazy Hong Kong Italian although I I say to anyone who ever stops by Vegas You should swing by Cirque du Cirque cause there's a very curious Italian Mexican restaurant It's so funny that you say that because yesterday when I had to go to USC to pick up my stuff from the Amazon store Which is never do that Horrible, but on my way back. I was in a bunch of traffic and I saw a Mexican Italian No, I'm sorry a Mexican Chinese Restaurant hybrid and I was so sort of like horrified that I actually pulled over and took some photos Mexican Chinese food tends to be a little sweeter even more so than American Chinese food So it's a it's a it's a It's a variety of Chinese food because I thought it was just like we're Mexican food and Chinese food I could be but like there is such a thing as Mexican Chinese food. There are Chinese immigrants Unfortunately, yeah, yeah, there were some political upheaval and a lot of them moved up to the LA area Hey, Sarah. Hey Tom bet you know what I'm gonna ask you. I will do it Good. This is the benefit of doing a show together for more than a year All right, Patrick yes, how were you born in a state of readiness? All right, here we go, it's errands, I think by the way Hey, hey trying to throw Sarah off. What's up with that? All right, I should up telemarketers doing a show There we go in three two Lorna Renz has supported independent tech news directly for five years be like Lauren become a DTNs member at patreon.com slash DTNs This is the Daily Tech news for Tuesday March 19th 2019 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from studio feel I and I'm Sarah Lane And from the countryside in Finland. I'm Patrick Beja And I'm the show's producer Roger Jane. We missed you Patrick See it took me a little moment to realize I was back. I thought I was just listening to the show as I do every day That's fantastic. How are your travels? Oh? they were Unlucky in the weather department, but lucky in every other department Yeah, sorry about the weather we are gonna talk about Google's new game streaming product that they described I'm good. It's all short of saying announced they described a great detail Google Stadia a little later in the show, but let's start with a few tech things you should know Xiaomi announced its Q4 profit tripled on an increase of revenue of 27% the profit beat analysts expectations The revenue however did not Xiaomi now ranks as the fourth largest Phone vendor in Europe and sales outside of China made up 40% of the company's revenue in its Q4 Smartphone sales made up 65.1% of Q4 revenue and Jeremy said that it plans to invest more than 10 billion won in AI over the next five years Xiaomi it is unavoidable Instagram announced in a blog post it's launching a beta show shopping program with over 20 beauty and fashion brands The test allows a user to tap on a view the product button Then check out on Instagram rather than getting bounced out to a commercial site to a commerce site The feature will be rolled out over the course of the next few weeks to mobile users in the US and will feature products from Adidas Adidas. How do you read this in English? Adidas Yeah, that's the European way to do it Kylie cosmetics and Nike among others or Nike if you want to say it the European way Patrion announced it will launch new plans with increased prices for creators on the platform starting in May Anyone already using? Patreon before the new plans go into effect will keep their existing plans at the existing price Patron's also going to simplify its processing fee structure, which currently varies based on what payment processors charge So that might be a more for some like me might be less for others Tom sat down That's me actually I sat down with Jack Conti to discuss why patreon is doing this and you can find that interview in your feed Or at daily tech news show comm Unionization sweeping the tech world Well, at least it's getting started too hot on the heels of gimlet media organizing within Spotify Now Kickstarter staff announced plans to unionize as Kickstarter United in cooperation with the office and professional employees International Union or OPEI you local 153 Kickstarter is a public benefit corporation meaning It is quote obligated to consider not only the impact of decisions on society not just for shareholders Yeah, public benefit corporation has some different meanings here in the United States So they're obligated to consider the decisions that how the decisions impact the general world not not just Obligated to increase shareholder value. So they have to approach unions differently I also talked to a friend of mine who's a union organizer and he says because I was like why the office and professional employees International Union and And and you know he he has told me this before he's like Almost any union could organize these guys because there's just no union presence in the technology world yet So so any anyone could provide some sort of help and guidance on this and it's pretty interesting All right, let's talk a little bit more about another Apple hardware announcement. There's this is a trend Patrick It's incredible there might even be another one tomorrow Apple updated its Mac line with 8th gen and 9th gen Intel processors Radeon Pro Vega graphics options are also available across the iMac lineup as well as up to 64 gigabytes of RAM and two terabytes SSD storage Pricing before upgrades remains unchanged upgrades though aren't cheap added Adding a Radeon Pro Vega 64 X costs $700 the 256 gigabytes RAM memory option costs an extra 5,200 American worth every penny Ridiculous 256 gigabytes of RAM Well The thing and put it in myself, and I will not spend $5,200 a year I was also disappointed that we didn't get a price drop on the the iMac line Which I have been researching Extensively as of late because I'm kind of putting together my new studio. So that was kind of disappointing that aside It's it's interesting to me that ahead of next week's announcement Apple is like, alright, we got new iPads. We got new iMacs Let's just get all that stuff out of the way because they're probably going to to touch on all of this and you know Be like, ooh, you know good stuff for the for the folks But but they they want to get the the fanfare out of the way before Their announcement next week, which leads me to believe that they feel like they have a pretty packed keynote otherwise Yeah Well, this is gonna this is their pivot to services next Monday's announcement It's gonna be about TV and news and they don't want to clutter it up with other stuff So it is interesting to see them announce this all in advance and also our intern Amos pointed out that you have the Adobe Summit right after Monday Tuesday through Thursday So it may be getting these product announcements in time to be showed off at the Adobe Summit using some Adobe software to Move it on to Microsoft Microsoft Teams has been out for about two years now and is used by 500,000 organizations the company announced eight new features starting today Microsoft whiteboard lets team members work on an infinite canvas and even lets you add content from a physical whiteboard Comes in handy data loss prevention is now generally available scans to stop sensitive information from being unintentionally shared and live events Let's anyone create video and interactive discussions across teams stream or Yammer for up to 10,000 people Coming soon are live captions and restrictions on who can communicate with whom and later this year teams will get customized backgrounds the ability to capture off of the analog whiteboards and secure private channels as well Yeah, I think this demonstrates to me mostly the fact that Microsoft has a built-in advantage With office 365 with Microsoft 365. Yeah, when you're in the enterprise workplace If teams just comes with the software that you're subscribing to as an enterprise You're more likely to use it then go out and pay slack extra money for that On top of the fact that teams is a useful product I think that's definitely true But we also tend to discount the power and the use cases people get out of Microsoft's Business enterprise solutions, you know things like active directory is an invaluable tool and it integrates in all of their services and We tend to look at Microsoft and think oh, you know, they're the guys that have the advantage and Of course, everyone would be using clack if if they they didn't have to pay for office 365 Which for some people might be the case but think of how much slack has changed and improved over the last couple of years and now think of Microsoft teams and all of the actual usable tools. They're adding on top of the fact that they are Integrated with the rest of the ecosystem I really think that from a lot of people who look at this from the outside are either freelancers or journalists or etc And don't realize how efficient and well put together the Microsoft enterprise Suits of products are yep. No, it's a great point Nvidia announced the Jetson nano it's latest in the line of Jetson boards Jetson boards are embedded computing boards often meant for things like robots The onboard ai in the Jetson nano can do object recognition and autonomous navigation along with a few other things without needing a connection to the cloud So that makes it faster makes it more secure also means it qualifies for the buzzword edge computing If you have that on your buzzword bingo card, please mark it off now It supports tensorflow pie torch cafe keras and mx net A developer kit version is probably what most people in our audience would be interested in That cost you 99 bucks But if you are a small manufacturer and you've developed a product around this board You can get a production ready unit for a commercial manufacturer at 129 bucks a pop With a minimum order of a thousand of them So you have to order a thousand of these modules, but they'll come production ready You don't have to configure each one yourself for diy folks There's also an open source autonomous robot kit called jetbot That includes the nano board as well as a robot chassis a battery pack and motors all for 250 bucks So this is definitely for for people interested in robotics either as a hobby or as a small time business Or maybe even a medium-sized business So this is definitely i mean i understand it's not a new line product line, but it's an nvidia definitely desperately trying to Diversify from gpus, right? I don't know how this is a business to business. I mean nvidia You make it sound like nvidia's got one last chance and it's That might be a little bit overstating it, but i mean they've been trying they've been doing different types of specialized GPUs or even you know systems or chips for a few years now And it I might be wrong, but it doesn't seem like any of them has caught fire They did things for autonomous vehicles and a few other things I I don't know that I associate nvidia with anything other than GPUs still, but that might be my might yeah I don't know that you would and I don't know that nvidia needs you to The nano boards the jets and boards seem seem to be popular within this This area and and I don't expect that if you're not involved in in robotics that that you would know about them That said I think you're hitting on a great point Which is that nvidia is trying to diversify its offerings through autonomous cars through data centers, uh, you know Their big business is still selling you a graphics card though and uh, and and and that's not going to change But this is an example that hey nvidia is doing more than just graphics cards indeed In another example that vr is for business hp launched the reverb virtual reality headset professional edition aimed at engineering architecture education and entertainment entertainment being amusement parks style rides and such the reverb has a resolution of 2160 pixels times 20160 pixels per eye at 90 hertz refresh rate and 114 degree field of view It comes with pre-installed bluetooth controller that pairs with the headset not with the pc the headsets face rests Face rest uses a wipe clean Leather like material. Is it supposed to be pleather or is it leather? It's pleather like isn't it just leather? Yeah, I think I get what you're saying okay Leather is like not an actual thing The the reverb the reverb arrives late april for 649 bucks a consumer version will cost 599 bucks Yeah, so this really is just another brick in that wall. We've been telling you about that uh vr for business Uh, not not that it's not for gaming But the successful place that companies are targeting when they come out with their new headsets is business and if you're doing architecture Or engineering design that 2160 by 2160 per eye resolution is important Because the finer the detail you can see the better in those kinds of situations Yeah, even though there is a consumer version available for the $50 less This definitely seems like an enterprise product to me Based on the price and and and what it's good for Well, I mean the the consumer vr headsets are around those prices for the some of the versions so it could be Used in that way as well, but definitely Consumer uses for vr are mostly games and even that can be iffy sometimes So consumer hasn't taken consumer vr hasn't really taken off outside of games. So yeah in that case It's probably for professional uses um Pleather is generally made from polyurethane. So I guess if it's pleather like it feels like pleather, but it might not be made from polyurethane Maybe maybe it's made of leather. Yeah, exactly. That's where I would like turns out actually just left Well, I've got some good news for people who hate auto play videos mozilla released version 66 of the firefox browser Which mutes autoplay audio and video alike Although you can whitelist sites that you want to autoplay and you say that it's okay if they do firefox is also introducing Scroll anchoring that keeps your place on a website from jumping around When slow loading ads tend to pop up and then all of a sudden you're like, where am I that happens to me all the time? So I'm very into this. There's also the ability to search within multiple tabs There's better search in private browsing mode. There's improved and clear security warnings and web authentication support for windows Hello, and I think I might go back to firefox at this point because mozilla has been on a tear Yeah, uh firefox getting better and better. Uh, yeah, uh, not not that it was ever bad, but they've been really compelling Uh, the send file System that they they launched the other day, which isn't even browser dependent Is pretty great, but yeah that just that thing about scroll anchoring.  Oh, yeah Yeah, I mean and if you if you say well, that never happens to me. Well I salute you because it happens to me 100 times a day And it's probably because I have so many tabs up because we read a lot of news articles But man venture beats got a bone to pick with you It always gets me when I'm trying to click on something and it looks fine as my and as my finger is descending towards my phone It finally jumps and then I hit the ad like that's right Tin foil hat on it feels like they're doing it on purpose. So anyway, I like Yeah, very clever. Yeah Mm-hmm. Hey folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines dot com. All right. Let's talk about google stadia Google game developers conference announced that their streaming service will be called google stadia It'll run on pretty much everything pc's phones chromecast Etc. Uh, there will be select pc games available. They didn't tell us which ones. We'll talk about that in a bit You can use the device controls on your laptop on your phone or you can get an external controller and google's going to make one of those YouTube will have a play now button that'll allow you to launch a game right from a youtube So if you're watching a creator play you can tap that button and start playing yourself There'll even be some features To let you join the game that that particular creator is playing if it's something like a fortnight situation potentially There's also simultaneous 4k 60 frame per second streams So you can get a 4k 60 frame per second stream But you can also send a separate one so it doesn't impact your your gameplay to youtube To stream or save the game that you're playing So there's a lot of stuff around creators here. They also say they're working on 8k 120 frame per second support And they targeted developers a lot unity unreal middleware like havoc are all going to be compatible with the system and There's good. They promise full craft platform play in other words if the other platforms cooperate They'll they'll cooperate with them And stadia games are going to be created in-house if you're wondering why jade raidman joined google It's because she's going to be in charge of stadia games and entertainment the in-house studio. All right That's that's the the key announcements that we got here patrick and I know I skimped on this You were paying close attention to this announcement. What did you think? um, so so many things tom so many things but I think the first thing to To set straight with everyone listening is i'm sure a lot of people still don't believe That game streaming can work because latency is so important. Of course, you need the the decent connection A pretty good connection. But if you do have one it does work. Let me Dispel the notion that it doesn't or that it won't work for gamers for 99 percent of the cases It works and it works almost in this in Indistinguishably from a local game again, if you have other services and we We it would be weird if google suddenly just didn't do it as well as the services you've tried Exactly. Yes, especially since Server location is so important and expertise, of course And they made a big deal out of the the fact that they have a ton of servers everywhere So that's the first thing it works might not work for everyone But when you're in the right conditions and many people are it does work. So that's the the most important aspect The other thing that I noted it almost goes beyond the idea that game streaming works because we've been familiarizing with that idea for a long time and goes into how is google Making it a google type service by taking advantage of the fact that it's now Possible to play around with it Like they have with so many other products like maps and email and so many other things And they're doing some interesting things like The fact that you can stream Everything to to the the user including maybe Images from teammates There's things to be done there like the the they Call it a split screen multiplayer, which can be pushed way further than actual screen split screen multiplayer We've had in games before There's a thing they call state share which Shares a state of the game, which means the state of the world you're playing in the player's position The inventory through a url Which is an interesting idea.  You were watching being reviewed on youtube. So They are Creating a platform, which is essentially what i've been talking about with what's happening with microsoft A virtual console a platform that exists everywhere, but they're putting their Specific spin on it and and taking Taking advantage of the fact that it's now a virtual platform in interesting ways Yeah, they have a custom gpu from amd That that they're using for this They talked a lot about the the data center power, which is no surprise. I mean google of course one of the greatest cloud providers of services worldwide It's no shock that they have some cloud power to draw on so microsoft wants to do this with azure Amazon may be wanting to do it. It looks like with aws. Why wouldn't google it do it with their own in-house expertise? So i have no doubt that this is going to work Patrick and and there's some really interesting things you can do they they seem to be really encouraging like developers develop your game for stadia It's not just going to be we'll take a pc game and stream it to people We want to want to run games directly on our platform, which is an interesting Take on this it also seems to illuminate to me the fact that Earlier i called this a description not an announcement because they said it would launch this year They didn't say Anything about what games would launch and they didn't tell us how they would charge for it Yeah, i think you're being a little bit unfair It is still an announcement, but i get your point They there are i think for those services We have seen streaming services before and the reason they failed wasn't necessarily the technical aspect which google and others have Have perfected now after 10 years of uh that technology existing But it was more the commercial offering that was problematic and we have no idea about what what they're doing there We know that it's a new platform as you said they can't really you need to work the developers are going to need to do some work to port The their games to that new platform. It's easier than to port on in other cases, but they still need to do it It's not running pc games So that is important, but we also don't know are we just going to have Games to buy like we do on any other platform Is there going to be a subscription service which has been in the air for for a while in in the gaming industry as in many other industries? And they kind of hinted at the fact that Any where you are you can click a button and you are on the store and buy the game and start playing it Which would seem you can at the very least buy some games but if that's the case you get into the issue of The chicken and egg how many games do you have and how expensive are they and and The the one thing I would say There is no barrier to entry. So even if you do need to buy the games It's not like we are stuck in that traditional idea of You need the hardware in order to get the game and this is why Getting a lot of games on your platform to get people to buy the hardware is important And you develop your kind of wall garden that way in this case You don't need to buy the hardware. So it doesn't necessarily even matter that you have a lot of games or not If you're interested in that game you buy it and anything can play it So you don't need to buy a PlayStation or a bv a bvpc or anything So they definitely have a lot of advantages But it still wouldn't hurt to know exactly what's happening and who is gonna You know, how what are the benefits the developers are going to get how much they're how much of a take they're going to Take from from the retail price, etc, etc And we don't want you I want to go back to that point about, you know, you you said well, you'll have to port your game That could be a big barrier We think about these game streaming services a lot of times as the the streaming service just needs to license it They're just going to run it like shadow just runs it on a pc. They don't need to port it They don't need to do anything. They're just running it off a pc. That could have been what google did That's not what they're doing Uh, they're doing something more interesting Which which is why they are required to create an in-house studio I think to create some some compelling games to make people come to this platform Because I don't think they're going to have every game because the games have to run on stadia They don't just run on a pc Uh, and and they had you know, I id they're talking about doom So they they're going to have some more partners on board. I'm sure I think it's one of the reasons We didn't get a lot of details on how the service works Is because they're waiting to sign up more developers I assume google io where they said they would have more details about this might have some announcements about that Maybe give us some more details about how this subscription is going to work But just when you were describing it now it started to sound to me like youtube before youtube The idea that anyone would just host whatever video you want for free Kind of sounded ridiculous because that's costly But what did google do they said or what did youtube do and then google do when they bought youtube they said We can monetize that through ads So it will be worth it for us to provide this for free. Maybe that's what they're going to do here And just say like developers may pay for access Otherwise it'll be like a youtube for playing games where we'll have some advertisement run and monetize it that way I think it would be more difficult for games. They're usually a more expensive You know game cost 50 to 60 dollars A full price game So that I think it would be a little bit more difficult although you play a game a lot longer than you watch a video So possibly that being said to get back to the idea that Game developers are going to have to port their games to this service The reason you're hesitant usually To port your game on a service and that chicken and egg issue Is that you have a restricted user base when a new platform launches If you are developing a game on switch Then you need to to know the install base of switch users Because if it's only a couple of million, maybe it's not worth it in this case The the destruction of the friction for users means that you don't even really need to count the user base of Stadia It's just everyone who has a pc and who might be interested of course in this service a pc or a tv or chromecast or etc etc So I think the dynamic there is a little bit different than what we're used to and it's going to take some time to adjust Our way of looking at this enough thinking about this because it changes the the paradigm in a sense well There's lots to think about that thoughts keep occurring to me just as we talk Including the idea of like well, what if there's a premium service that gives you early access to games? But there's a free service when you're logged into google that gives you some access because you want that frictionlessness And they can gather data for it. So I don't know what do we get we got to keep we got to keep thinking patrick Until they finally tell us either a google i o or maybe later. I don't know Well, thanks everybody who participates in our subreddit And if you see anything about stadia or anything that google is doing throw it in the subreddit Vote it up or down We might talk about it on a future show submit stories and vote on them at daily tech news show dot reddit.com Also on facebook facebook.com slash groups slash daily tech news show Thanks to everybody who participates in our show in your way Whatever way you choose and also thanks to patrick feija for being with us today patrick.

Hope you have enjoyed this program And how I I I have like 15 different ideas of how they might charge for this But I I think the when you kept bringing up the frictionless aspect. I'm like one of them has to be free Whether it's the only way or the only way like they're going to have to make this Something where you just and they have the power to do it because they're google, right? Yeah, just like I there's no reason for me not to click this and start playing right now. Yeah, yeah I mean at the very least it could be like play for free for the first hour of the game That would be So easy to put together There's a time limit on it I I have a feeling they're gonna basically let you play free Games but not not recent AAA releases something like from three years back where it's free to play like money on that though Well, the whole idea is to get them hooked on the fact that they can play right you want you So you give them a free game, but if you want to play something new a newer game You're gonna have to pay and so by it's like giving you someone a free vid movie to rent Right like oh, I get to watch You know iron man three or you know the avengers and they will monetize this with ads somehow I don't think they're gonna interrupt your gameplay with it, but there's gonna Try that before like, you know, you imagine like a racing game where they can sell ads based on the you know The game billboards as you drive through like, you know Yeah, that has It's not gonna be I don't think I don't be one solution. I think it's I don't think they're gonna try everything I think there are so many different possibilities. They have to decide on a strategy They can't go at it like half I think they know what that strategy is. They just don't want to announce it until they've gotten all of their partners on board I agree. Yeah Uh, we got uh google stadia soon tm Google's here to stadia and then I I offered the alternate gaming is here to stadia um Google teaches us the plural of stadium I like it You like that one.  Let's play That's funny I think it should say stadia I'm good with um Ask your gamer if stadia is right for you Ask your gamer if stadia is right for you Kind of like that ask google if stadia is right for you Because I'm sorry it sounds the tune of activia play stadia It just sounds like a drug It's a spattin I go stadia I think I want to go with ask google if stadia is right for you. Perfect. Yeah, that's good Uh, if you experience more than four hours of gameplay If you experience more than four hours of unpredictability Play stadia Log on Extreme rates watch 120 frames per second. That's really ambitious 120 frames per second like on a I'll be impressed if they can reach 60 30 I believe they can do 60 um I've been getting 60 so I didn't go into that but you know, I've talked about Playing shadow pc from finland and it being workable I've played it in france and Not only does it play 60 frames flawlessly But the lag as I was saying is imperceptible It is uh when you're closer to your uh data center I think they did an update a few months ago and I hadn't played it in france and It it honestly, I think most people would not make the you know notice the difference between a game played locally And and it played like this. So 60 frames per second roger Um, it's not oh, that would be impressive. It already works. No, I'm not saying that it doesn't work If you're gonna roll it out it needs that you need to have the same quality of service across the board not just people who are located closer to the data center I mean like well, they have like 7 000 data centers How did they call them edge points in the world? I think if anyone that's why you know people have been saying myself included if anyone can do it It's going to be google or amazon or or microsoft Because that's the key element of these kinds of services And they already have that infrastructure So I I'm not very worried. Sure. There are going to be places where you you don't get the same quality of service but And and remember we're talking about chateau pc here, which is a startup that started what three four years ago um And they've achieved incredible things. I have no doubt google is going to Blow them out of the water in the easier problem for google to solve than shadow to solve is what you Yeah, yeah Yeah, I mean I think it is interesting that even to roger's point even google is like we'd like to do 8k 120 frames per second But we're not going to promise you that just now Because that's really hard But I don't I don't have any doubt that they could do it Well, once they have the technology in place. It's just a matter of the Computer power and bandwidth. Yeah the bandwidth on the on your end is probably a bigger concern than whether google can deliver And that's that's kind of what I was alluding to it's less of a less that google isn't capable of doing ensuring that People have have a have a road to your front door Well, yeah, I mean, but that's that's not under google's control google's could easily say look if you have a gigabit fiber You're not going to have a problem, but what I didn't see them say is what the minimum is here I think that that's that's an interesting. Yeah again for for um For shadow to get like 60 fps Uh 1080p. I think you you should have about 30 megabits, which again is not unattainable, you know, I think when they first started five Four years ago. It was a lot less people But now you have a lot of people who do have fiber. So I think it's We're looking at this with the mindset of five years ago and thinking, uh, so few people have fiber Sure, maybe maybe it's half of the the people but it's a lot of people And and don't get us wrong person out there in the countryside like my sister.  It's even worse because you know almost half the planet doesn't even have connectivity, but um Um But for the places that have the internet the majority of people have internet probably have access to a 25 or 30 megabits per second Not everybody but the majority Uh beat master makes a good point netflix, uh 4k netflix uhd is uh requires around 25 to 30 megabits per second so We we did a uh flashback episode of cord killers where we looked back At stories from eight years ago in the cord cutting space and one of them was that netflix's new instant play Couldn't catch on because nobody has enough bandwidth to stream videos without hitting their caps This is this is a constant refrain when new services come along and it's just never it turns out to be the gating factor It usually is something else Well, I mean Netflix out the gate initially started with a lot of that by co-locating servers with content on it to be closer to Yeah, but but forgetting that like people saying I don't have enough bandwidth in my house to do this Also, I'll hit my data cap had nothing to do with where netflix was co-locating their servers Well, I think data caps is an eminently american issue No, just There are plenty of places that have data caps in the world Don't don't make it just us. I'm sure. Yes. No, I'm sure In fantasy finland where the bandwidth Out of the trees if we're talking about like wired internet like isp is not mobile I am pretty sure the entirety of Europe doesn't have it's from pine trees in finland I was skipping over that but But I I might be wrong, but in western countries. I don't think many do have Oh, right australia. No, I was talking about civilized countries Oh Even in the u.s. They're not as widespread as they used to be what what what's weird about the u.s Is if you're in a region with them usually you can't get around them, right? Right And so you feel like well There's no one I know how it doesn't have caps because you live in a city where they only have caps But then other places don't have caps. You don't even think about it And on if you're really into it you can just get a business account which never I've caps Oh, yeah, so it's really about It's really about competition. I suppose Yeah, and competition is actually getting better very slowly, but is it some hope for that? Yeah It's not it's not it's far from solved but I think 5g is going to help spur that along what's happening in a lot of places including parts of the u.s Is people are just like, you know what I don't want to pay for wired anymore. I'll just have internet on my phone Hmm because I can get an unlimited unlimited plan from my phone not have to worry about it So you get it's easier to get unlimited for your phone than in some place. Yeah Oh, wow It depends. It's always it's it's so regional too. It also depends on what you have to do I mean, yeah, I would do that but I can't do that with dts. There's no way You might be able to with 5g It's possible Then there's the whole thing about tethering and whether your tethering is unlimited or whether it's right. Yeah, exactly But I guess the the my point being Anytime a new service comes along people always raise the idea that the isps will be the thing that kills it and it never happens Yeah, not that the isps are are never problematic But the the isps never are the thing that stops a service like this from succeeding Yeah, you know why because they actually do have the capacity And they just want to sell it more more expensive They start to realize that wow if we stop people from using our connections, they might stop subscribing to them Yeah, exactly. It's like how can we milk as much as off the situation in the us drives me crazy It really is ridiculous Well, tom and roger and I will be in finland, uh, in about 48 hours So, uh, you know prepare the dinner Prepare the mexican food We will we'll we'll test some speeds I'm saying all of this but here in the countryside. I only have 200 250 really megabits. Let's say 200 So is it synchronous? Yes. Okay. Are they synchronous? Yeah So, I mean, yeah, I do have We do have 4g though, uh without caps which in france, there is caps on on mobile But here it's um, it's easy to get cheap plans without caps Uh that work pretty well. I think I must be around 20 or 30 megabits Do you have 5ge though? I do not which is probably a good thing. We get that from AT&T here It's a 4g that's called 5g but yes, I know Yeah Um, all right. I'm going to leave Well, patrick fine. Just go to sleep.  Thanks for watching audio folks stick around there may not be pet

Thanks again everybody. Got one more of those mixtures coming up


A lot of people know cortisol to be the stress hormone, but a lot of people don't know is that cortisol often feels good And this is probably why many people over train. Oh, yeah Remember we call those cortisol cortisol junkies.  Oh really? Yeah I had a client that was a doctor and we would talk about the You know how a lot of people just get addicted to exercise and I'd say yeah A lot of people they just feel terrible But they still go and train themselves super hard and they get that short window of feeling good afterwards and he goes Oh, it's the cortisol and I said what he goes.  When you start to lose sensitivity insulin or develop insulin resistance Lots of cortisol over time probably starts to lose its effect And so you're overtrained all the time overwork the same people, right? They don't sleep very good a lot of coffee high stress They tend to be late often to appointments They also train their butts off and they love the workouts because they're like But I just love the way it makes me feel even though they're obviously overdoing it well This is why to like you'll find it's usually higher in the morning, right? And that's something that's more advantageous get you up get you going that stress hormone kicks in and then it's not Advantages for you. No, like especially when you get towards, you know sundown and starting to calm down But yeah, it becomes it comes one of those feelings you seek out Once you get into these high-intensity type of exercises Did you guys find like a common theme with the clients that like what are some of the things I felt the same thing too? I'm just curious if you guys are on the same. Oh, it's the avatars like this, right? They they over train. That's obvious We're talking about that super demanding job. Yes, high high performing high-stress job or like five kids That's a demanding job. I mean I mean that that's a job. You don't get time off, right? So you got that they don't sleep very well Lots of caffeine typically and oftentimes to help them at night wine Something to bring them down which yeah would typically be and they navigate they tend to gravitate I should say towards Orange theory or CrossFit or hit training or circuit training They have 15 pounds of body fat that's stubborn. They can't figure out why won't come off They cut their calories. Why isn't this working? Oh, I know I just need to work out Explain this a little bit. So so what is going on here?  I don't know if you said it But many times this is also low calorie people right people are trying to restrict or cut back That they're taking on all these insults that the body has just gotten used to just constantly being on the defense And so it starts to lower its cortisol production. Is that what is happening? And so in extreme cases now that when that happens now, you're in really big trouble But but what might happen is and this can happen with Many hormones, right? If the hormones are if a hormone is really high all the time your body starts to become Somewhat for lack of a better term desensitized to it So receptors will either down regulate or it's not as effective. This is kind of what happens with insulin resistance You know before you get diabetes or pre diabetes You can track and see insulin levels going up and up with the consumption of sugars or carbohydrates and People don't realize what's going on until oh, I have full-blown insulin resistance And then they go into you know type 2 diabetes with this cortisol It's just this high cortisol all the time and at first you're kind of get that and we've all been there, right? We're stressed, but we have kind of this wired energy So maybe lack of sleep, but there's stressful stuff going on and we feel kind of energized But it's this wired kind of energy that can come from cortisol along with catecholamine production and other stress chemicals And over time your body starts to lose sensitivity So then you want to push out more of this and you tend to seek out things that make you produce more cortisol And one of those is these super high-intense workouts Another one that I find is very interesting is oftentimes the same people will find themselves Chronically be rushing or late to appointments, which I love bringing that up because people will look at me like I'm some kind of Conscious. Yeah, it's almost like it's a self-sabotaging kind of a mechanism where it you do get a rush from Being late and all of a sudden you have to figure everything out You know on the spot and I feel like that you do get a bit of that same kind of a rush That you get from something high-intensity exercise. So now what I found with these clients These are actually some of the hardest clients to get through to 100% Because they're already up the everything that they've accomplished in their life. Usually was from hard grinding work Right when they probably got there, you know initially like they lost weight and they they saw some result from doing high-intensity Workouts, but they have never left. Well, and they also it's hard to tell somebody who Honestly feels better Feels good right from these types of workouts immediately after that. It's not good for them Like that that I always found that that one of the most challenging things like and this this was really common Right when I was coaching at Orange Theory And this was really common when the the rise of CrossFit right when more and more people are doing that type of training And even when hit was popularized But what happens is you get somebody who does these things and they they truly do like it Because they get this sense of accomplishment They sweat really hard it was really and they got through it and they get that spike of cortisol So they get the spike of energy afterwards And so they're very certain that they like this way of training because it makes them feel good It was really hard as a coach to get through to that person and be like no, this is not what's good for you And they're going no yes, it is I can tell it's good. I mean it gives me more energy I get that I'm I kicked I kicked the you know the day and it's you know I do great, you know, I kick off the day and I have a great day because of it It has a couple for that that was what was going through my head. There's a more appropriate way for me to say that That's what these people that it's really hard to get them out of it because they've either had success Through training this way or they feel a certain way from it and it makes them feel good The challenge is they do feel good or better Temporarily in the context of how crappy they usually feel right? So what tends to happen is you start to feel bad over time And that's how you always feel and then you have a new definition of what feels good The reality is is if they could feel the contrast of what real good feels like They would see that what they're getting is a nervous anxious wired kind of energy not unlike again Like we've all experienced this lack of sleep like, you know, how about like when you first had your son?  It was this high. Yeah, you know, so it's hard It's really hard to reverse them out of it And I think the only winning formula that I had for that was when they would finally get fed up With lack of results when they got to the point where they're like, I don't understand why I can't lose 15 pounds I'm doing everything and I'm eating so little what the hell's going on That's the only way that I could get through to this person. Yep was what I'd explained to them is that okay?  I want to have more energy I want to lose body fat and you're struggling to hit any of those goals Then I'm gonna tell you what you're doing is not what we should be doing so that and that would be the only way That I could break through to them is it obviously it's not working. You have this goal. You have not achieved It's not that you need to do it more and longer or harder to get there You don't need you can we there's a way to work with your body instead We're working against it right now Whether you believe it or not you are and if you want to make changes Then we have to change the way you're going about it. That would be my only way to break through Yeah, do you guys remember in your early days of training when you started to really see this or notice this as a thing? Like I remember distinctly this was I mean I was an early trainer This was the 24 fitness on Hillsdale before they redid it right? So it's a while ago and I remember there were obviously there was a room for the aerobics classes And I remember there was this class and it was a you know quote-unquote resistance training class But really it wasn't what it was was high-intensity circuit training for an hour classes Yeah, it was like an hour of Intense you know squats and push-ups and dumbbell laterals and you know donkey kick man It was just non-stop intense and I remember when I first became a trainer I saw this class and I saw this room full of 40 people doing it and most of them were middle-aged women Who were taking this class and I remember thinking like wow? These women are gonna get great result like this is when I was an early trainer So I really understand this and then I watched this class because it was during a time when I had a client And it was the same women coming in coming in coming in and I remember seeing them sweat and work hard And nobody was progressing. I remember thinking could they just be eating a ton of food and have a really bad diet? Like what's going on here and I'd see them not change not change well eventually I Figured you know, I would I would find ways of getting into these classes so I could potentially talk to new get new clients So obviously as a trainer, I was trying to get a new trainer I was trying to get new clients and I go in to start talking to people and I'd find out some of these women were taking this class For a year yeah two years, and then I'd say you know, is it your diet? You must be eating a lot of calories like oh no I count my cow had one woman pull out she had a in her workout bag She had this is back in the day when people would write you know things on paper And she had a notebook. She was no I'm eating 1200 calories a day And she was showing me the food and I remember being totally confused. How is this even possible with mind-boggling? The had the same experience, but it was with like the group X instructor Yeah, and I saw them in there with multiple classes sweating profusely and Then would come in and like work out and I would see them like putting so much work in and this is back when I Was in the mentality of just if you keep putting work in you get return for that and It was just like I didn't even know how to explain it because even one of my clients asked me why they weren't you know in Phenomenal shape, and I'm like I don't know at the same thing like maybe they're sneaking in a bunch of cupcakes or something I have no idea. No, that was so I trained that was my experience was training actually group X instructors They're hard.   They're doing the cardio classes like crazy I started holding dumbbells when I go running. Yeah, totally everything fast Literally these those those were things that they were doing as a strategy and and then I look at their food log And they were they're eating nowhere near a high amount of calories. So that was kind of I was so confused I had an experienced trainer that I looked up to that worked with me and I asked them I said what's going on? Do people just lie and he said well, sometimes they do he goes but usually they don't and he says, you know If your body doesn't want to do something You're not going to be able to force it to do what you think you want it to do and I said, what do you mean? He goes well, the body has this incredible ability. This is totally true Has this incredible ability to Change and manipulate its metabolism and hormones and even drivers of behavior. So Cravings or energy or lack of energy or drive or lack of drive In order to get in order to do what it thinks it needs to do in order to survive, right? So here you are beating yourself up like crazy Probably not getting good sleep do all the stuff that we talked about Low calories and your body's like we need to survive. We are we're moving like crazy. We're not eating much There's a lot of stress So what it does is it organizes its hormones and it organizes how it operates And it can literally there's a huge swing of how many calories your body could decide to burn On its own depending on what's going on and some of that is directed through hormones And there's a lot of stuff that we don't fully understand and it's pretty remarkable I mean later on in my career when I really figured this out. I would get clients like this and so long as they compliant I remember I had one lady and I've talked about her before She was working out all the time running daily Dropping your calories had another 10 pounds of lose. I mean it was it was a ridiculous amount of activity and low Cal it was 1200 calories a day if i'm not mistaken She was working out seven days a week which included some resistance training mostly lots of running pilates yoga So she was doing all kinds of crazy stuff She hired me Over the course of a year She went down to three days a week of resistance training with one day a week of running So she got down to four days a week of exercise probably one third Of the total amount of activity and she was eating over 2,300 calories So we got her to burn More than a thousand more calories a day And working out one third of the amount of time because we had got her body to want to Be leaner and this is the thing and the other thing that'll happen if you keep pushing your body is eventually it'll shut down or become injured As a way to get you to stop and you see this quite often Well, I think the important part of this conversation is to understand too that there there's a spectrum here That and we're kind of highlighting like the extreme right low calorie And so there's people going like oh, well, that's not me.   You don't do enough training You don't put enough stress in your life So you're seeing minimal to no results So there's that into the spectrum then they have this this crazy in and they have everybody in the middle of that And where we really want to be is right in that kind of middle balance But there's a lot of people that are to the right of that still that They're they're taking on a lot of stress and simply by just scaling back on the stress Or maybe increasing calories and feeding the body or changing the adaptation So this high intensity type of training maybe do something more like strength sets where i'm You know straight sets and long rest periods and you know Maybe focus on recovery more a little bit like so there's a lot of people that would see more results Just simply by modifying or changing the way they're going about it. Oh, yeah And a lot of times they're just they just got good at it. It's something that they that's why they enjoy it It's like their body adapted to this way of training and they they associate all these benefits to it You know energy-wise and whatnot, but they're not progressing their bodies like fully adapted in this way of training to where it's starting to kind of have negative Differences going yeah Well, I mean look think about it this way right all the hormones that people You know want to improve or increase right testosterone Growth hormone like these are the the the youth hormones right balance of estrogen or progesterone and women You want to have good insulin sensitivity? That's very good for you All of that stuff Leads the body towards more Energy expenditure so all of that In combination with the right at time to exercise adds active tissue to your body Aka muscle, which means now you have a higher caloric requirement Okay, so if your body organizes its hormones in this way the way that most of us want we want to feel younger Rejuvenated we want to burn body fat build muscle recover faster all that stuff But in order for that to happen because remember that results in higher caloric expenditure all the time It results in more lean body mass in order for that to happen Your body has to think it's safe to do so Otherwise why the hell would it why if you were the manager of your body if you're like in this Imagine this like like star trek right you're like in this room operating all these machines And then you're having a meeting with your other operators of the body and you're like hey We want to increase the size of the engine. We can't do that. We're not we don't have enough energy We're expending way too much. We need to conserve organize everything in a way to continue to conserve We can't do that or if they come you say hey, we need Let's make the engine bigger. He's like well, let's look at the losters. Yeah, let's look at the logs Okay, no, we got plenty of energy Looks like we're cool Looks like there's more energy coming in or in the future because we don't have this history of no energy Everything looks cool.

Hello and welcome to the first edition of the Heartbeat from the Texas Heart Institute. I'm your host, Maya Pomroy. Since its founding in 1962 by world-renowned heart surgeon Dr. Denton Cooley, the Texas Heart Institute has been the leader in surgical innovation and groundbreaking clinical research dedicated to reducing the devastating toll of cardiovascular disease through innovative and progressive programs in improved patient care, education, and research. THI is leading the way to being the next first. We will take you on a journey inside THI and share with you the stories that changed people's lives, one heartbeat at a time. Today we introduce you to Dr. Stephanie Coulter, the founding director of the Women's Center for Heart and Vascular Health, and Scarlett Hankey, a young mother of two who discovered after the giving birth to her second child, she had been living with a serious heart condition without even knowing it. So when I was on the table, I was having a C-section, they said that I was having a lot of PVCs. They said, well, you know, it's normal to have a lot of PVCs, especially during childbirth, but this is too many, yes. I had visited a cardiologist and over a few weeks had determined that there was a problem there, but we didn't really know what it was, and my cardiologist at the time encouraged me to do genetic testing. My mom then got tested and had the same results, and then we just came to the conclusion, well, that's it. Didn't really believe it, and then it took a while to really understand that, yes, it is true, and this is why, because I just think it's a rare condition. It's not one that is seen all the time. So it took a few visits to the doctor to figure out, nope, that's right. Dr. Stephanie Coulter, director of the Center for Women's Heart and Vascular Health, an expert in cardiology and imaging of the heart, says ARVC may not cause any symptoms in its early stages. However, affected individuals are still at risk of sudden death, especially during strenuous exercise. In Scarlett's condition, I'm sure she has some abnormalities on imaging in the right ventricle, but she also has an abnormality of her left ventricular function, which is actually more serious, because the pumping chamber to the body is the left heart, and this left heart has thicker muscle, it has red blood in it, because it's the oxygenated blood that's coming from the lung that's being pumped to the body, and this chamber should have an EF or a squeeze of greater than 60%. So every time your heart beats, it should beat 60% of the blood out every beat. And so when she described her EF number being 32, she's basically squeezing only half the blood that could be pumped in a normal heart. Scarlett's heart was under considerable dysfunction and stress, but she did not have the symptoms of heart failure. Her heart's ability to pump blood had declined by nearly 50%, but her symptoms were benign.  And so that would be very common, and yes, genetic testing for cardiomyopathies, it is becoming much, much more important. Scarlett, who is a new ambassador for the Texas Heart Institute, hopes that her story will motivate women to be proactive about their own heart health. Although her condition does not allow her to play some of the sports that she loves, you will find her on the Pickleball Court in Houston, where she hasn't skipped a beat. For the heartbeat, I'm Maya Pomeroy.


a lot of people will say that spice bomb is one of their most complimented fragrances and i think i know why that is hey what's up guys it's josh here's one to do a little review today on spice bomb extreme now on my channel i've never reviewed anything with spice bomb and to be honest i've smelled spice bomb for a long long time i've really liked the name of it i've really liked the bottle but i don't know what it was i just swear that i smell it just constantly and it just really really wasn't for me more recently i've actually sprayed it and i kind of have found reasons why i've like the spice bomb kind of smell right when spice bomb extreme came out i smelled them side by side i've smelled them side by side i've very like pretty much as much time as i see them you know sitting around every time i smell spice bomb extreme i'm just like that is way better than the original spice bomb comment down below if you want me to review the original and if you want me to do some more testing on this one maybe testing with the original as well i don't know if you owe full bottle right now i'm going off my past tests of this plus i just got a sample of it i you know took it for a full day of wearing and i figured out little nuances that i liked about if the notes are vanilla tobacco pepper caraway and lavender now to me this doesn't really smell too much like a tobacco-y style scent i do smell spices in there close to cinnamon style spices but not just cinnamon i noticed that when i smelled just cinnamon and fragrance as it seems very simple this isn't just a simple you know one two this is you know quite complex with the spices i don't really get too much of a black pepper kind of punch personally i don't really get too much lavender either to me it just smells like a real cinnamony like with other spices and sweet and really subtle now a lot of people will say that spice bomb is one of their most complimented fragrances and i think i know why that is because it is such a subtle nice pleasant kind of spicy smell i'm so used to stuff like harrid or some of these niche fragrance houses i could literally list like 10 to 15 super high oil super spicy scent so when i'm thinking of spice bomb and then the people are talking about like also that they have pretty good projection i'm pretty sure that was kind of thrown in with spice bombs that has really good projection to me it's more of a really sexy subtle kind of spicy scent i think it's about 85 dollars online for this one maybe the original spice bomb is um a little bit cheaper but i feel like they have a lot of similarities to me almost has a little bit just like a 10 percent of like a one million style sweetness mixed in but not so much that it would ever be you know disliked for that kind of a smell and one million has a sweet cinnamon style punch so i could kind of see that but overall i do get that that similar spice bomb style smell and to me i think what was throwing me off about it was that i actually needed to wear it and the seeage of this stuff is really nice because like i said it's very pleasant it's very light but it's also noticeable and i think it is sexy so i think it's a very very solid set i think it's definitely worth looking into i know a lot of people have reviewed this one already but i really really do enjoy this one but i'm still on the fence of whether it's like super effective if you must bottle you want to spend 30 40 50 dollars i could find fragrances with a lot higher juice content and much more of a strong spicy smell but i don't really know if that would necessarily mean that it's better i think the subtle sweetness in this one actually might um bring in a lot more compliments versus those this is those super spicy scents i think this one's a little bit more subtle a little bit more sexy it's got enough spice in there but it's also not overpowering it too much and there's just a weird little tint that makes this one kind of sexy to me so i kind of want to put my two cents on it i'm kind of on the fence of whether i want to bottle it or not i'd be very interested to see what you guys think of it this is something i definitely recommend trying and i see why people are kind of like getting a lot of compliments with the spice bomb dna due to that subtlety now it's a little bit expensive that 85 but i think that the original spice bomb has pretty much all the similar style spice of this one i think there's almost like a little bit of a one million style smell that's only with this one but maybe maybe i'm wrong with that like i said obviously does not smell like one million i think it's just the cinnamon in there i find it a little bit similar even though there's not cinnamon in the notes to me it just smells like a similar two cinnamon style spice i would give us a rating i'd probably give it like a 8 to an 8.5 for the smell it's very solid it doesn't do anything too crazy but at the same time i don't really have anything that mimics this subtle kind of spiciness so i do really appreciate that and it could be something that you could just wear so easily compared to other spicy scents so i definitely want to test that out more so it's like 8 to 8.5 the longevity and projection like i said it's a subtle style scent so i'd probably put this maybe at like a firm 8 because it does last a long time you do have some you know projection longevity but it's not you know too like insane or strong but at the same time it is going to get you probably noticed i would say maybe within two two and a half hours a decent spray up if you get kind of close to somebody within three feet they're going to smell you but anyways guys it's definitely something to work check into i'll be very interested to see what you guys think of it let me know what you like if you like the original spice bomb down below and net let me know what review i should do next i'm going to be reviewing zahara poor ome said to me by ej wells next i think that has a little bit of hype behind it i'm not too sure i was looking out for a grant to come there was a lot of reviews but anyways that we're on spice bomb extreme very solid it's kind of opening my eyes to the spice bomb kind of smells maybe in the future i'll do a um you know maybe i'll get spice bomb or extreme and i'll compare them and definitely let me know if you want to see that in the future if you want me to test this one out more i definitely will and i probably might do it on my own thank you guys so much for watching the video one the road of 25 000 subscribers and i couldn't do it that any of guys's help you guys are the best i'm having a great day out here hopefully having a great day at home see you on the next video peace
