you're a member I can have it where oh you get bonus entries from being a member it's kind of cool I could do that that might be something we do in the future where becoming a member gives you bonus entries that is something that I might consider for the future where members get bonus entries but anyone can win which I mean that's another way to do it to do it too but for right now we're not doing it that way we're gonna keep going the way we've been doing it become a member of the Nintendo Prime Board of Directors today Alberta so I think you're entered let me check let me load it up and

that's what twitch uses so how you guys doing members moderators you guys having a good night you guys having fun now is your chance to ask me questions at me in the chat you guys I should be able to read every question what do we got what do we got tonight for questions anything good just got home from work but yeah great night and you um I'm never I'm in I'm with you guys tonight that's always a good night right I'm checking on my lovely fiance see if she messes me all the night are you yelling at me honey she usually never yells at me especially if it's giveaway related she always like dude give away give away give away god if it was up to her give away every penny we have she's an extremely charitable person how do I feel about jump scare games like FNAF um I've never played 5 Nights at Freddy so I can't tell you I don't really play jump scare games I don't know that I'm against them I've just I just don't think I've ever actually played one unless resident evil consider that now consider resident evil a jump scare game um any good ideas for games that aren't too hard and not overly violent um well I assume you own a switch since you're here Kirby in the forgotten land coming out have you tried the Kirby in the forgotten land demo that's a if you haven't played the demo yet go play that and see if you enjoy it it's it's a it's a pretty easy game so far at least in the demo um I wouldn't consider it to be a super violent game or anything um so I could I would suggest going to check that one out but there's a number of games especially on switch that are not overly violent but also aren't like super difficult um but yeah Kirby in the forgotten land comes out later this month and there's a free demo on the eShop um I could I could definitely suggest you go check that one out I know I see some people saying Zelda um Zelda's great I wouldn't consider it necessarily not overly difficult like when you can randomly walk in the world and run into um some really difficult fights that will just wreck you and obviously Zelda's I'd say it's a bit more of that realistic violence to it so I wouldn't that's not the kind of game I would suggest for this question um Yoshi there there's some Yoshi game there's a Yoshi game on switch what to call um oh god what is that Yoshi switch game I own it too um but it's not installed on the switch oh that uh Yoshi switch game what's it called it's called Yoshi's Crafty World that's another one that's another really great one um pretty much any Mario game some of them are more challenging than others of course um how varying degrees of stuff you might enjoy um I mean I don't know if you know about Mario games you own a switch I assume you know about Mario games they've been around for about 30 years um but if you don't Mario is obviously a great go-to for that kind of stuff as well um you know Nintendo switch sports if you want to get your body moving a little bit that's coming out here in the next like month and a half you have Nintendo switch sports coming out if you if you've heard of Wii sports it's a sequel to that that's going to be a great like get your body moving a little bit um nonviolent gaming experience playing some familiar things you've probably you know enjoyed or protect or took in some point in your life um yeah switch is great for this I mean every platform has got a number of games that you can do that with I'm just kind of focusing on Nintendo because that's the channel we are how is the haunted Mario one are we talking about Luigi's mansion are we talking about Luigi's mansion 3 is that what you're talking about for haunted Mario your bed ridden so you can't do those that's okay um so Luigi's mansion is usually the one that people if you played Luigi's mansion back on GameCube um I think it was a launch game if you ever played that back on GameCube uh Luigi's mansion 3 is is yes it's really good really good like super fantastic oh Animal Crossing by the way that's a god thank you for the chat bringing that up Animal Crossing if you haven't played Animal Crossing yes especially if you're bed ridden that's an amazing game to play um because basically never ending it's like a life simulation with animals and your character and you get to like you know build the world you want decorate your home craft things it's a lot of fun it's a lot of fun that's god that's an obvious one why don't I even go to that one right away Animal Crossing New Horizons on Switch um I don't think there's a demo for Animal Crossing no Pokemon Snap that's a good one too New Pokemon Snap if you've ever liked Pokemon before New Pokemon Snap is like a game where you're on rails and you're taking pictures of Pokemon if you if you like photography you know if you ever like photography that's good it's it's fun I really like New Pokemon Snap a lot so see there's a lot of games there's a lot of options that's what's nice about it like we don't have to think very hard on Nintendo platforms to come up with a bunch of options like that I enjoy all of them just as much as I enjoy you know Doom or you know some of the more violent games out there I enjoy all of them at that at that elite level you know alright we got one minute left for members only and then we draw a winner one minute left I adore Pokemon games and you are photographer novice but do a lot if you love photography like if you're a novice photographer you know and you really like Pokemon oh my gosh New Pokemon Snap if you haven't played it you're gonna love it how long it's really good I don't know that I call it nonviolent but I mean it's not it's like a side scrolling platformer kind of like Metroid if you ever play like a Metroid game it kind of gives you the Metroid like feel so I don't know everyone's got the things they like and they don't like alright let me draw a winner here we have hit it let's draw that winner alright entries are closed and let's pick a winner congratulations

peace try not to get too annoyed I know sometimes we get some people in here that are really opinionated so it can get hard at times to manage to balance what's right for the chat versus personal annoyance it's tough it's tough I'm a moderator on a couple other channels for their live streams and yeah it's tough to kind of balance when you should act and when you shouldn't they should have these super chat right if you're going to advertise hot girls and boys why we talking about girls and boys it should be men and women feels a little wrong girls and boys alright I mean I know the terminology is intending 18 plus but I know there's times that I call people that are like 20 21 a big oh you're still a child but I mean it's about how mature you are to me it's not really about what your age is well that water bottle is empty good thing I have a new one brand new fresh made from 100% recycled plastic and then you can recycle this again plastic sucks but you can recycle and recycle and recycle many many times just unfortunately a lot of people don't anyways cheers if you want to watch a little cloudy it's because I accidentally did a shot of rum chada in this one earlier

uh wow three three dollars and fifty oh you guys you guys alright thank you so much uh taker610 and Eric Winstead of the 350 I don't do a shop for anything under five right now because I don't have any beer but uh taker610 did the five dollars said your e3 coverage will be lit this year because e3 won't be lame this year you guys did your best of what you have last year and it was still fun yeah and we're trying to go even bigger this year we're trying to obviously you know reflect on last year and what we can do to be better this year not just for how we handle giveaways but how we handle the whole show what can we do to be more entertaining than ever uh the one thing people suggested is a lot more gaming events we agree um so having more gaming events more gaming contests more gameplay um one thing I'm trying to do actually is possibly get some um actual games indie games revealed during our show I've been in talks with at least three indie developers already this year that we might be revealing brand new indie games during e3 like we're trying to level up I can't guarantee it's going to happen but conversations have been had about drop and reveal trailers during our show now I know it's just indie games not everyone's going to be into them but the fact that there's even a conversation multiple of them being had about revealing new switch games on our channel like damn like we'll see if it happens I can't guarantee it'll happen but like if we can get even just one that really levels up our e3 coverage where hey look e3 won't show you the games fuck it we'll show you the games right it's like oh e3 is not giving you what you want don't worry about it don't worry about it well I'm sorry are they walking you through another boring man's movie thing don't worry about it we got the real deal here we'll see I don't know if it's actually going to happen or anything's going to come from it but there have been actual talks where it's being considered so obviously I wouldn't expect oh are you going to get Hollow Knight chill out now we're not getting Hollow Knight but you know some games you've probably never heard of obviously but hopefully really good games we'll have to screen them ahead of time and make sure that you know we don't want to we don't want to review games that suck right because then what's the point we don't want to just review games just to review games so yeah sports story again Nintendo funds that so that's not going to happen cheers though to taker 610 you guys have come up big alright our final best buy giveaway of the night it was time to draw a winner Alexander Flores Alexander Flores Alexander Flores at me back in the chat buddy at me back in the chat right now Alexander Flores Alexander Flores there it is I see

tomorrow you guys are awesome thank you so much Nintendo Academy just going to pop off a little air horn quick no farting on my set God trying to keep things in check here that's right my son's telling you what's up um we should join forces Academy Prime game reviews hey dude if you got some contacts if you got some contacts that that would like to review games to you know obviously a smaller audience but a more concentrated audience let me know you got my DMs you can talk to me privately you figure it out if you if you got your own contacts that we can make this work that'd be great man you know I'm always open up to collabs like that you want to collab for a bunch of stuff underneath you I'm always open I mean it probably won't be the brux of the show but we still have huge dedicated segments to having you on and doing this whole dedicated thing plus you know which mic is going to show up do we really know do we really know I have no idea what mic is going to show up on a daily basis you know are we getting wood mic are we getting I don't even know you have so many multiple personalities have you been to therapy it might be a disorder you guys don't know what I'm talking about you should check out some of the giveaway stuff he's done in the past Mike's a fun guy he's got some really unique ideas some really unique ideas and costumes pretty good editing over there too try riding in an SUV in your dog fire's office oh dude dog farts are the worst they're the worst when link drops a bomb link is my dog when he drops a bomb he drops a bomb it is silent room clearing he doesn't actually do it that often we have him on a pretty good diet we don't buy the cheap dog food shit he's on some good stuff so he doesn't actually have that bad but if he happens to get into a garbage or eat something he shouldn't because our kids gave it to him it's pretty rough it's pretty rough thank you so much Rick Rubicon put the glasses on for ya hold up do you know the muffin man the muffin man the muffin man do you know the muffin no I don't 185,669 nice nice seriously that's legitimately my 8 year old son doing the bra thing he does it all the time so yeah my fiance got a recording of it just so I could use it on live stream bruh bruh bruh bruh bruh I don't know something the kids must be doing these days maybe it's just him maybe he's just a weirdo it's cool to be a weirdo I was a weirdo I know we're a little past midnight but we're okay my fiance won't be she's just got done with work she should be home in about 25 30 minutes it's about a 25-30 minute drive for her so technically we got a little bit here your 10 year old yeah see it's a thing with the kids right now like when I was a kid we were all doing the dude sweet thing from like dude where's my car that was like our dude sweet all the time we annoyed the hell out of my parents 114 likes tonight you guys are awesome I'm halfway tempted to push it over 200 myself I just like seeing numbers man I don't know what it is about me like whether it's like donations or like sales numbers or just like the number of people who like a stream or like we have 69 concurrent viewers that's the number I like baby someday we're gonna have a consistent 6969 69 6969 live viewers every stream gonna happen it might be like 30 years from now 69 69 it'll happen someday I was wondering if you were gonna say something about the lighting and that mic so yeah those lights back there were things that he suggested they don't look the greatest the way they are I just kind of slapped them up right before the stream we'll see what they look like off the brick for my videos I was gonna use so those are like 2 RGB lights that Nintendo Academy suggested to me we'll see what they look like off the brick my only concern off the brick is my Nintendo Prime sign has a acrylic backing to it that's gonna catch the light cause it catches the light if I turn the sign up too much it'll definitely catch the light of these but maybe if I just shine it from one side we'll see I'm gonna take your suggestion I'm gonna move my set the stand table out further from the wall give more distance and see what happens so we'll see we'll play around I'll play around with it before I record my next video see if I like any of it maybe I hate it I have no idea better than it looks good on live streams it's hitting the wall right there oh look it's hitting the wall right there obviously these need to be angled better it's cool but if anything looks good on live it's all I care about adding a little bit of color to my streams cause why not next thing you know I'll put them on my lights here and I'll just make myself I'm blue, you have to put the blue lights on I'm blue gotta be careful copyright claim you have faith that will happen what the 6969 yeah don't drink and drive definitely don't do I always take a cab paint the acrylic tape off the bulb and paint it paint the acrylic tape off the bulb oh so you're saying like you're saying you're saying paint the acrylic and like try to make the acrylic look the same as the brick so it looks like it's not there and then the light doesn't catch it is that what you're trying to say yeah that sounds like a lot of work I'm not gonna do just to be honest just being honest with you totally not gonna do it just too much work to just tape off those letters would probably take me like an hour or two hours and then it's just not gonna happen I've already put so much time into this damn studio it took two plus weeks and a month plus of planning to get the studio the way it is now and we're still not done because we have a person we hired to make graphics and stuff for the TV not just for the podcast but god now we gotta start thinking about E3 and you know it ain't cheap by the way last year between stream layouts the starting stream the BRI back screen and all the stream layouts combined with a few other things it ended up being over a grand to pay a professional to get that all ready for us for E3 last year so like you guys thinking about all the giveaways we did there was a grand on top just for the layouts and shit we were using like it ain't cheap to make the show look as good as it looks and ain't cheap those include the tapestries and everything else we go all out I don't want to say we don't spare any expense because we totally do but we do the best we can so it looks good to you on the drink and I'm not driving yet perfect even better um right I'm gonna get us really close I'm gonna get us super close why am I gonna go just short whoa or not whoa I'm a funny guy I'm already getting ready you guys don't even know in case people think I'm kidding by the way it's nice when my stream is set up to work so look if I hit this button here bam see look at that 31 cents short 200 for the night you want to know where you look right here you don't see it let's you know chat revenue for the night we had eight new members today one end in that I like that I have this set up now so I can just show stuff react to things whoa that is way too big I just want half my screen why are you doing it so small whatever you're so freaking hot no thanks guys I appreciate it there there it comes multiple people with trying to get a buck or so thank you guys I do appreciate it obviously whoa whoa whoa hold up reckon we mobile gamer here you phone gamer dude I have paid mad respect to phone gamers like legitimately mad respect I'm gonna add you know here's what I'm gonna add everyone's chats up to see see what shot we can do so we got four five I'm gonna give Alberta and still I'm gonna give the full two dollars for that seven let's see final shot of the night what can we get up to I'm adding all super chats together so we're three dollars short of a I'll give you guys what ten minutes here we're three dollars short of another UV blue so I'm adding them all for one final shot for one final shot of the night you guys like that spinning Majora's mask baby hell yeah thank you for the price man this channel is pretty nice I try dude the price oh showing you showing you what we were after super chats is that what you say I'm trying to understand I'm a pretty honest guy I literally shared the entire channel's revenue at the end of the year last year I don't I'm not sitting here hiding the only thing this year we have more sponsorships this year there's a couple of legal reasons with the contracts I can't show I can't show the exact revenue from the bottom line you're going to see the exact revenue that we made overall you just can't know how much of it with sponsorships it's just contractual details for some reason these companies like oh we don't want people knowing how much we paid you why who cares I understand it's for negotiating tactics with other YouTubers bottom line is they want to pay other YouTubers less so they don't want to know that we paid this guy more than we paid you like I'm wondering I'm sure they're not happy I guarantee you the Wonderling people aren't happy not because they don't like my video but because the video I did for them the Wonderling video if you guys go back and look at my channel that was a sponsored video and only a 646 views right now I'm sure they were hoping for at least a foul and it's pretty short of that and I as I tell all these companies I cannot guarantee viewership like if you're looking for me to be like hey you're going to get a foul I can't all I can tell you is the price I charge everybody and what I value my time at that's it I can't oh I want to I want to oh man look at his videos he gets 6.4 K oh you get 6.4 6.1 5.2 4.7 7.3 1.4 3.9 oh man we might get 4 5,000 I always tell him you're not going to get that sponsored videos don't get that kind of money to get that kind of views I should say so I can't guarantee some of my some of my videos do great some no it's like my news videos my one today did alright the 3.6 K but my one two days ago only got 1.3 which is really bad like that's a bad video for me in terms of performance but it still did double the sponsor video sponsored video made significantly more money so as I tell I can't control I had two standard videos do really bad in a row to be honest but then we bounce back today so that's just how it goes oh wait a second that's that's old that's old sorry I thought I saw a Nintendo Academy with another 20 and I was like wait a second that's my chat catching up where's my back end that I closed my back oh there it is I was like damn that was my live stream view I'm like uh wait a second why does Nintendo Academy give another 20 Mike you're crazy he is crazy he's giving away Nintendo Academy by the way he's giving away a Switch OLED when he gets 10,000 subscribers he's at like 8,800 he's giving away two Switch OLEDs when he gets 20,000 30 you 30 you get it it keeps going if he ever hits 100,000 subscribers he's gonna give away 20 Switch OLEDs he's insane look I give away a lot of shit and I can't sit here and pretend that I don't spend a lot of money on giveaways I totally do but that's insane I can tell you right now I'm not giving away 20 Switch OLEDs when I hit 100,000 if correction if I hit 100,000 I don't want to be presumptuous we've been stuck at 77 for a while we're still stuck we're gonna be stuck you know until YouTube started sharing my content we're not really gonna move but I am glad that some people are still finding our channel even if it's not as many people as it used to be it's still nice to reach a slightly new audience like you know Alberta and Stella found the channel recently like we are still hitting some new people here and there but yeah since we got hacked in October we really don't get subscribed by YouTube much Wonderling is fun and they just added DX content so they sponsored because they added a free content update you share my link with a viewer well thanks man I mean ultimately we're as big as we're meant to be but yeah I'd love to hit 100,000 even if we never go beyond that like yeah okay let's hit 200,000 who the hell knows let's hit 80,000 we'll see what happens maybe we hit that this year I have no idea I was doing some switch ranting yeah it's funny when people act like I don't criticize which I totally do I really hope you hit your goals and remember us I try to remember everybody man say TV this might be the first time I've seen your name but I try people I remember from 2017 2018 that aren't even here anymore and I still remember their names their usernames so I try to remember everyone as I try to tell people if the channel ever blows up we'll beat them up size which is insane over a million subscribers I don't want to be that person that just forgets the people who have been here along the journey I try really hard to remember as many names as possible especially during our live streams I try really hard to be like oh yeah I've seen you before like maybe I don't remember the super chat you gave maybe I don't remember the subscription maybe I don't remember the question you ask or your likes and dislikes but I can look at you honestly let's say in three years and be like but I remember you were there you were there for E3 you were there for our live streams you were there, you were there, you were there I can be like look I might not remember all the exact details because there's too many people to remember but I do recognize your username and remember that you were there and that's what I'm trying to make sure I keep moving forward as the channel grows is remembering the people that were there what's your favorite football team I mean you're clearly a 49er saying come on ask me a hard question next time Jimmy G is your favorite player in the NFL I criticize Nintendo in good taste yeah I mean I never my criticism has never meant to say Nintendo is the worst ever like Nintendo is a they're greedy they're a for profit business all for profit businesses have some greed you know my youtube channel it's not like I sit here and be like oh yeah there's no greed I mean I support my family and make a better life for my kids and the youtube channel that's a hobby that I want to be more than that is very much part of that equation so it's not like decisions aren't made with titles or thumbnails or all this to try to build a better life but that's just part of being a content creator you know what NBA athlete is MVP this year and also spell his name well I mean you're gonna make me spell the name Joe well I mean Joe J O E L E M B I I B I want you wanted me to say Yanis at the Tecumpo and I know that it's G I A N N I S but the at the Tecumpo part I'm not 100% on it's like A N T E K O U M P O how close was I let's see here how close was I on my last name A N T E T O I forgot the T O and there's an N in there and okay so it's A N T E T O K O U N M P O I was pretty close though he's my favorite player and he obviously is the star of my favorite team but pretty close I got a Yanis jersey I have a Chris Middleton jersey now too hell yeah now I just need a Drew Holiday and a Bobby Portis probably broke a little bit at some point too but that was a trick question someone was trying to get me to spell out Yanis at the Tecumpo and it's like if I have to spell it I'm going to go with the easy one or just say Joker J O K E R like Nikolai Yokoch I'm not so sure I can spell that to be honest but I also don't really watch the number and I get that much so I catch him now and then I know how good he is like he's really good he's one of the best passers for big men in the league he's really good but I don't watch him as much as some other players it's rough being a Seahawks fan right now I mean bottom line is Russell Wilson we all knew last year Russell Wilson wanted out so you know they probably should have traded him a year ago if they were honest with themselves but they wanted the hope they could make it work and unlike Aaron Rodgers looking out in Green Bay Russell just really didn't have an interest in me in there anymore they weren't catering to him they weren't giving him the office of wine he needed the defense had degraded the Seahawks are basically in rebuild mode and I know they don't want to admit they're in rebuild mode but they're in rebuild mode and it kind of sucks because you got that success super early with the legion of boom and Russell Wilson go back to back Super Bowls you win one you lose one potentially it's hard to blame Russell Wilson for that interception it was just a bad coaching call that moment you still would have had another play even if Marshawn Lynch would have got stuffed you still had another play like you know they steady film too they know that's a go to play at the goal line just try to jam it down their throat first before you go to that and that's not what happened he won the Super Bowl went to the Super Bowl back in 2010 never went back again it kind of sucks you go all these years thinking you got the QB you just need to put things together you go from there so who knows what's going to happen my Packers are going to go in full rebuild too don't know however many years Aaron Rodgers is going to be a Packer however many years the Packers put off rebuilding their team but it's going to happen so now Seattle is in that mode and we'll see what happens next Pete should have won first it's possible it's kind of like Mike McCarthy with the Packers he won the Super Bowl but it was very obvious that he lost something whatever he maybe had he lost it he definitely lost the locker room so he had to go it's possible Pete Carroll should have won too I have no idea it's very rare that coaches last as long as they last and Bill Belichick has proven himself we'll see if he can get another ring without Brady but alright that's going to do it guys thank you so much for tuning in you guys are amazing peace out much love I owe a shot still we ended at $6.32 so almost $7 so that is a from Chata I know I said I added up I let it go a lot longer than I planned but that's alright you guys are great Julia should be home in about 5 minutes so you guys are sweet and I'll catch you in the next live stream which won't be for Monday Monday Monday Monday


Hi, I am Zeba Maneem, NPTEL learner has completed almost 10 courses on various topics of literature. Professionally, I am a pharmacist employed in the department of Dr. M.A. N. Sali Hill Center. Jamia Millia-Slamia have been working in Jamia for the past 28 years, but my passion and interest has always been with literature since childhood. My interest in joining NPTEL is to enhance my knowledge about literature. The concepts taught at NPTEL were really helpful for me to understand many complex and rich texts of literature during my masters and to satisfy my creative urge to learn and understand those literary concepts and also help me in developing my perspective, which would have not been possible without the help and guidance of the professors teaching at NPTEL. The biggest advantage of studying at NPTEL is that one can get to know a fair amount of good stuff from IIT professors and you can listen to those lectures at the time most suitable to you. The best part of learning is that one can pause lectures in between and can prepare notes and also can clear doubts by posing queries. The professors were really helpful, always reverted back whenever I wrote them means regarding regarding my doubts about a certain topic. Thank you professors for that. Also NPTEL have helped in securing first division in masters in English literature, got highest in the subjects like post-colonial and American literature. Now I am looking forward for my PhD in English this year also preparing for my UGC NET exam in July 2019. NPTEL familiarizes me with the UGC NET exam, in fact which I appeared in December 2018. I fall short of few marks only. The concepts taught in the way the various topics were clubbed together in the course courses like history of English language and literature, language for competitive exam, literature for competitive exam helped me a lot during my exam. I enjoy the bit of lectures taught at NPTEL as a famous saying that where there is a will there is a way. Initially it was difficult for me to continue with these courses along with my 9 to 5 job and family but over the time I managed it somehow as I found this mode of learning so interesting and it also fulfilled my dream of attending such prestigious classes from the professors of the best institute of India as I was mostly enrolled in more than three courses at the same time. So I had to study for 4 to 5 hours daily that is between 10.30 pm to 2.30 am sometimes up to 3.30 am sometimes between lunch times at the office. I could not study for a day if I could not study for a day I try to make up on weekdays by studying for almost 10 hours continuously. I took my lectures very seriously I considered then to attending lectures as just like my prayers I completed 40 minutes lectures in almost 3 hours pausing in between preparing my own notes with my own understanding of the concept taught. I assist all my videos in my pc and on my lapi and pc and I rarely use mobile for lectures no I did not study from transcripts I revised sometimes from them just before the exam I always did my assignments after listening to all my lectures carefully I never assessed those lectures on my mobile I never googled out my answers of the assignments I always prepared my own notes and from the understanding of the concepts I prepared my assignments no I never used any other platform except NPTEL the most significant process is that I have written some papers on the topics.NPTEL for instance on ADHD which are still in the pipeline my immediate boss has encouraged academic activities in our institution even he mentioned my association with NPTEL in the annual report sent to the Jamia administration I do share my learning experiences with my family friends and colleagues I do suggest and encourage them to go for NPTEL I suggest NPTEL that the courses duration should be more than 12 weeks maybe up to 24 weeks if possible or at least 16 weeks there should be a time gap of at least 15 days from the last module that is last week and the exam date that would provide time for the preparation for the exam preparation do share my course with my parent department if I'm worthy of it to my boss on the mail id cmo at the rate jmi.ac.in or to my official mail id zmonim at the rate jmi.ac.in I congratulate and thank my NPTEL team admin the coordinators and all the professors for doing this wonderful and noble job I wish them all happiness contentment and success in the future and the worst happy learning thank you


Has this ever happened to you? Today, the term esports is almost synonymous with South Korea. If you look at top players for any given online game, especially MOBA games, you'll find at least one Korean player somewhere near the top of the list, if not the top. In the United States, professional gaming is kind of a niche subculture, and while it's slowly gaining popularity in the general populace, the average Joe probably doesn't follow it. Compare this to South Korea, where esports has surpassed the popularity of real sports. In 2012, FC Seoul, Korea's most popular football club, won the national championship and collected $500,000 in prize money. When a pro League of Legends team, Samsung White, won the League World Championship, they took home $1 million. I mean, professional gamers are seen as celebrities in their own right. Just look at this clip of BTS meeting the top League of Legends team, T1. And they're obviously just as excited to meet T1, as T1 is to meet them. They take gaming very, very seriously. So, how did it get to this point? Why are Koreans so good at video games? To answer this question, we have to go back. Way back.  Too far. Here, in 1948, the newest country in the world, the first Republic of Korea, or simply South Korea was established. Only two years later, growing tensions with their neighbors to the North escalated, and the two new countries found themselves engrossed in a large-scale conflict that would eventually involve half of the nations of the world. Both countries were devastated by the Korean War, and while the fighting concluded with a ceasefire in 1953, South Korea found themselves in a very difficult position financially. While North Korea enjoyed rapid economic development due to their abundance of natural resources, as well as foreign aid from China and the Soviet Union, in comparison, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world. Their mostly rural economy was stagnant until the 1960s, when a new government pushed a heavy emphasis on industrialization. During this time, conglomerates such as Hyundai, Samsung, and LG started to take their place as South Korea's industrial powerhouses, backed by the government. Thanks to foreign aid from the United States, new competitive business practices, and a rapid shift from a rural to industrial economy, Korea started to export more goods faster than ever before. And from the 1960s to the late 1980s, South Korea saw its GDP increase by 100 fold. However, even while video gaming boomed in the United States and Japan in the 1970s and 80s, Korea didn't see any of it. At a hefty price tag of about 4,000 US dollars, the average Korean couldn't afford to own a computer or video games. Though their economy continued to grow, things changed when it was hit by the Asian financial crisis in the mid-90s, which ravaged the economies of, among others, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and South Korea. Many South Korean companies went bankrupt, one after another, including the conglomerate and car manufacturing behemoth, Daewoo. In an attempt to revitalize the economy, Korean President Kim Dae-jong decided that this was a perfect opportunity to make new investments in high technology industries, such as IT, telecommunications, and that's right, a shiny, newfangled invention known as the internet. And they made sure that the internet was fast. This meant, for most Koreans, for the first time ever, instant communication from one side of the world to the other. The ability to find anything you want at any time. And of course, the chance to enter another world, and become someone else. More investment in technology meant that computers were more available than ever before. This in turn made the price of personal computers go way down. Not only could the average Korean household now afford personal computers, but PC-bongs, or internet cafes, popped up all over the country, and its numbers increased exponentially, quickly growing from its original dozen or so before the financial crisis to over 20,000. And it was cheap too. The typical cost for one hour is 1200 won, the equivalent to a USD value of a dollar and four cents. Students would use their extra allowance to spend a few hours after school at the internet cafe. It was the place to be. PC-bongs weren't just for playing video games either. Rather than meeting up at the mall, or a club, a bar, or a bowling alley to socialize with friends, young Koreans preferred to hang out at the PC-bong. You can watch TV, sleep, and even order food and drinks. And in one of the most densely populated countries in the world, especially in the city, sometimes playing football or other outdoor activities wasn't possible, especially on a school day. And because school is a very, very stressful time for students, naturally they gravitated towards something that would allow them to forget about their worries for a while, as well as being cheap, fun, accessible, and something you can do with friends. Now, group interactions and fitting in, doing whatever your friends are doing, and keeping up with the trends, are very important to Korean youth. In fact, you're gonna have a really rough time in school if you don't fit into a group.  This made MMORPGs the natural choice for Koreans with games such as Nexus, The Kingdom of the Winds, Lineage, Maple Story, and Ragnarok Online becoming Korean staples. MMORPGs were the preferred genre of Korea. That is, until March 31st, 1998, when everything changed. That's right, Starcraft was released. Real-time strategy hit Korea full force, and it became an instant hit and quickly became the most popular game in Korea. Everyone was playing Starcraft, and just to put it into perspective, out of the estimated 11 million copies sold worldwide, a third of them were from Korea. South Korean society, in its very nature, is competitive. Less than the best is not enough. Koreans put themselves through the ringer to give themselves even the slightest competitive advantage. Competing to get into the best schools, to become the next K-pop superstar, to get a promotion in the workplace, to increase profit by just the tiniest bit. So there's little surprise that this competitive nature found its way into video gaming as well, and where Korean competitiveness really shined was in MOBAs, or multiplayer online battle arenas. Mods of Starcraft and Warcraft were made to create a new game mode, where the objective was to upgrade your character's unique set of abilities and equipment in order to destroy the other team's main structure. 2002 saw the release of Starcraft mod Aeon of Strife, and the Warcraft mod Defense of the Ancients. And Koreans loved it. Defense of the Ancients received both the direct sequel Dota 2 in 2013, as well as the spiritual successor League of Legends in 2009. Both are still extremely popular to this day. The fact is Koreans loved to compete, and in 2016, when Warcraft and Starcraft King Blizzard released their new Hero Shooter Overwatch, which blended a classic FPS experience with the teamwork and unique character abilities of MOBAs, it was a match made in heaven. And the very next year, the Korean game development company Bluehole came out with one of the most popular Battle Royale games ever, PlayerUnknown's Battleground. Both of these games established themselves as the gold standard for both of their respective subgenres. And although Fortnite is more popular worldwide, Koreans still love PUBG more. They're just really patriotic that way. In all of the aforementioned games, Koreans form a powerful force to be reckoned with, and if there's a leaderboard to be found, you're bound to find a Korean name somewhere near the top. You might say that gaming is now ingrained in Korean culture, and rather than being looked at as a hobby that social recluse is engaged in, or just a leisure activity, it's taken just as seriously as any sport. And in fact, it is a sport. Just like how people who are really invested in a sport will choose to pursue that sport and know others, the same goes for Koreans and video games. In the West, it's normal to play a wide range of video games, sports, FPS, strategy, simulation, RPGs, you name it. However, there are some Korean gamers who choose one or two games and choose to invest time and hone their skills in just that one game. Like America's Dominance in Basketball or Jamaica's Dominance in Sprinting, looking at all of that, there's no wonder why esports is commonly seen as South Korean domain. In fact, it can be argued that modern esports as we know it came from Koreans, inspired by the Starcraft leagues and tournaments of the late 90s. Some of the most well-known Korean celebrities are hardcore gamers. In fact, there's even a competition that features K-pop idols competing in different events, including, among others, esports. And finally, we have the South Korean government to thank for a lot of this. As opposed to the American government that believes video games are poisoning our children's minds, gaming in South Korea is something to be proud of. And the Korean government plays an active role in encouraging it. After the financial crisis of 97, the government spent $24 billion planning their infrastructure around high-speed broadband internet that would hopefully turn their country into tech leaders of the 21st century. And it really paid off. South Korea consistently places near the top of every list of countries with the fastest internet, which in turn allowed for online gaming to be enjoyed by as many people as possible. And in fact, it's estimated that 35% of all South Koreans play video games on a regular basis, higher than any other country. Today, the government actively promotes gaming as part of the nation's culture, and even established the Korean Culture and Content Agency, which promotes Korean movies, television, music, comics, and of course, gaming. As Korean culture in general is spread throughout the world in the Korean wave, let's not forget that while K-pop, K-dramas, manwas, and mukbangs are ingrained within Korea's national identity, so is video gaming. And until something significant changes in Korea's culture, expect them to be at the top for a long, long time.


From Austin, Texas, it's theCUBE, covering Pure Storage Accelerate 2019, brought to you by Pure Storage. Hey, welcome back to theCUBE's coverage day two of Pure Storage, Pure Accelerate 2019. I'm Lisa Martin, Dave Vellante is my co-host, and we're very pleased to welcome, for the first time to theCUBE, Kathy Southwick, this CIO at Pure. Kathy, welcome. Thank you, glad to be here. You have a great story. This is not only your first Pure Accelerate, you've been at the company less than a year. You were not only a Pure customer before, but in a completely different industry. So your first Pure Accelerate, here we are in Dell Technologies' backyard. Give us your perspective on Pure's business from your previous customer role. Yeah, so I spent, I've been here just under a year, as you said, and I spent almost 22 years at AT&T. And coming into a company, it's completely different. Different size company, different size technology issues, everything we do looks very different. But there's a lot of similarities that you're trying to, as any company, trying to innovate and trying to stay on the cutting edge and you're trying to make sure you have the right teams in place and all that. So it's a lot of fun. It's great to see the energy and the excitement here. So that's been a lot of fun to come in and to see orange everywhere, painted orange. So it's been a lot of fun coming on. And you're compliant with your orange necklace. I got the memo. I said, you know, it's hard because orange is not one of my better colors to wear. But no, I'm happy to wear orange and proud to be part of such a company who is really looking at, you know, how do we take care of the customer? Right, so you were sold on Pure as a customer when you were with AT&T. What was it about the technology that when you were in that prior role that really differentiated it from its competition? Yeah, you know, it was really interesting. I was sharing with some folks earlier today that Pure was very different. Smaller company coming into a very large organization. We started working with them back at AT&T in 2013. So they were a very small company and very early on, but they were so bullish. They had this completely different attitude about storage. And it wasn't really necessarily about the storage. It's about what we're going to do to help you change your business. So for us, you know, I really looked at when you're in a very large company, you tend to not look so much at the particular like storage or compute or whatever. You're really looking at how am I enabling my business and with the limited dollars that you have and resources, et cetera, you're always trying to balance and prioritize. So for us, when they came in, they made this proposition and said, hey, we can show you this in two weeks. And it'll, and you know, when you're also big enterprise, you don't have time to look at technology for weeks and months on end and then have to test it. And so we brought pure end. They were tested out the products within two weeks and we saw more than what we were expecting. And I think that was what changed for us is it wasn't just about, we could do compression, we could do, you know, we could do, it was that all of a sudden with all these other capabilities we hadn't planned for. So it really was, it was pretty dramatic for us because we hadn't seen other providers that come in with a story that sounded different and not just the technology like, I'm going to save you a dollar. It's about now I'm going to enable your business to do something different faster and we saw it firsthand. How is the role of CIO at a technology company different from you were in a CIO at AT&T but you had kind of an engineering role if I understand that sort of solution engineering. How is the role different in terms of how you spend your time and what you care about? Yeah, so you know at AT&T the CIOs were focused on the application delivery side, so specific applications at Pure and so AT&T my role was centered around all the infrastructure for IT as well as our network engineering. So what we did for the service provider network coming into Pure, you have the whole spectrum but we're a different kind of company and that we're only 10 years old. Our technical debt looks very different. We use a lot of SaaS products so we use a lot of hosted solutions from our partners and providers and we do some on-prem as well but it's a very different kind of landscape. So the opportunity is you don't have as much technical debt. You also have the ability to try things because you are smaller and you can try things much quicker and be able to say, well, this working is it good enough and not have to have maybe things as gold plated as a regulated telecom would have versus a technology product company that is trying to be very agile to produce things and change for their customers. So essentially you were, I'll call you the CIO of infrastructure at AT&T with infrastructure that had to support, like you said, highly regulated and a very diverse, I'm sure, application portfolio. Extremely diverse. Like thousands of systems probably. Thousands of applications and very complex business models. So the interesting is AT&T is not a one entity business. They've got their media business. They've got their mobility business. They've got their wire line business. So when you have, people often think of AT&T as a company but there's actually, it's a very complex business model supporting multiple products. So it's just that those are multi-billion dollar product portfolios versus coming into Pure where we're still a billion and a half company building and growing our product portfolio. So what's your technology strategy at Pure and how are you enabling business outcomes for the company? It's a great question. So really the business strategy here has been that IT has to really evolve and scale differently than it had in the past. The organization before was really centered around some of the end user capabilities. It wasn't as centered around business outcomes and we've taken on a different role. So as I've come on to the organization our opportunity and our challenge is that we now have different responsibilities. We're taking on things like how do we want to think about data across the enterprise, not just within each individual domain. And so as a startup company you often are very focused on your R&D investments and your sales and marketing investments and you do a lot of things to get it done and that means that individual teams will do work but you tend to not think about what the full life cycle is of something that you're working on. So for our opportunity now is to take a step back be able to look across and say it worked great for that period of time. Now we have the opportunity to rethink how we want to think about the customer experience from the time product is developed all the way through and a quote to a customer through its life cycle, through delivery and then the support for that customer. So technology to support that sort of workflow. The ecosystem instead of within individual areas and so that's really our focus is how do we help our business to become even faster? How do we get more focused on the customer from a whole ecosystem and that we think about the customer from the whole ecosystem instead of each individual area? Sounds like that horizontal view that Charlie Giancarlo talks about with storage being so vertical in the past and cures wanting to revolutionize that and make that horizontal, ensuring that any type of business whether we're talking about cures business or a retailer or an airline every function in that organization has access to share that data to extract business value to lower costs to find new revenue streams, new routes to market, et cetera. And we are no different as a business. We need to do those same things to make sure that we can deliver those for our business. So that's a big part of our strategy. A lot of times we'll talk to CIOs at technology companies and their large established technology companies. I think Cisco, SAP, they've been around a long time. They have a lot of technical debt. They look a lot like your customers, frankly or many of your customers. Fewer is different but my question is a lot of these CIOs that I've just mentioned sort of generically, they're called wine tasters, right? You know, there used to be dog fooders, drink your own champagne but they are like the first line of defense, first beta customer and they give feedback to the product groups. Do you play that role as well? We do. We not probably to the extent because we're a smaller company so we tend to, as with our product announcements we've made, we'll go out to a wide set of our customers. So I think we had 60 and one of the betas that was just done. What we do with an IT is because we have a smaller footprint just the size, we do have flash array, we do have flash blade, we do use pure one. We do it more of a, from how would a smaller customer look at it, think about it and use it? And so that tends to be the, I'll say the lens that we look through. I think that the role I've played coming in is though bringing a perspective from a larger enterprise on how does a larger enterprise in IT think about it? And it's, again, it's not just that you're helping me with storage. You're actually helping me to solve a business problem. So there's some other, and some of the leaders that we've brought in, they also come from outside industry. Some have used pure, some have not. And so have that different kind of lens of what we would expect to see from our, the product teams. But they're also extremely open to what do you think, what is IT thinking about? How are you, we're thinking about these product ideas. What's the input from IT? So there's a lot of, while we're very small from an IT organization, I think that the two-way communication is what it's going to, you know, what will help. What are some of the innovations, and I know you've only had a short tenure there, but one of the things I read in the Q2 earnings, which were just released last month in August, was seven net new customers added per business day for Pure, so 450 or so plus customers added in that quarter, but also a 50% increase in multi-million dollar deals. So enterprise. Any innovations that you can share since you've been on board that your team has helped Pure understand to be able to go after those large enterprise multi-million dollar deals directly? Well, certainly from a, you know, from a personal understanding of the product and what Pure can do at scale is, you know, I certainly have that perspective to share with our customers and bringing that confidence and credibility that, you know, if you are looking at a large enterprise customer and the opportunity, they have a lot of questions about, so how exactly did AT&T do it? It's not like they run a few arrays, they run hundreds and hundreds of arrays and hundreds and hundreds of petabytes. So there's, it's not like it's a proof of concept or a pilot, and it's been years of doing upgrades non-disruptively over the years with all the Pure upgrades that have come into play. So I can certainly bring that to the table with helping the customers to get it, you know, a little bit of confidence, but also just an understanding about how Pure is approaching it with these other large customers. So, and as you've talked to other customers, there's enough customers out there that are, you know, they're very eager to share because they're so excited about what it's done for their business. We've heard, oh, sorry, Dave. I was going to say on the customer front, we've, what 6,600 plus customers Pure now has in its first 10 years, and the customers we've spoken to the last two days, Dave and I have noticed that a common theme is they're talking about their overall experience with the technology. They're not talking about boxes and array names and all these specifics, they're talking about how they are able to, one customer from a legal firm, I think in Florida, didn't even do a PSC, had a Pure that was a Pure customer and from that, Pure's advice got it right on board and was really talking about the experience and all of the things, to your point, on the business side, that they're able to influence with the technology, not talking about speeds and feeds and arrays and drives and things like that. So, it's a very different conversation. It's, well, so it was interesting because in the role that I had, I had the teams that did the architecture, plan and design and through implementation. So, the operation teams, one of the most unique things that I share with customers is when you are in a technology and you're in a large enterprise, you tend to have a challenge with introducing new technology because you don't want more technical debt. It doesn't matter what it is, you just don't want more technical debt. So, typically your operation teams are doing a little bit of pushback on, you know, no, we don't need something new, no, we don't need, unless they're having significant outages or incidents that they're trying to solve for. What I found, and even to this day, and there's some of the folks that are actually around the floor here, the folks that were in operations, they were literally coming and saying, we want more pure. And so, when you're in a technology organization, that typically doesn't happen. It's a, so it wasn't, and it wasn't like we want more of, like you said, the array. It was, we just want, we don't want to have to worry about, and I just took a reduction in my head count. So, I want, if I'm going to have to take on more data and I need to take on more support for the business, I don't want to have to worry about it. And so, to have that, that's a very different, and we had the same experience with our application team saying, hey, I just got lower latency. So, they didn't actually know why. They just knew that when I was trying to do my work on the application side working with a database, all of a sudden I had all this improvement. And so, what we allowed them to do is say, okay, well, we'll give you more capabilities, more feature functionality. And that didn't happen before. Those were things where they were like, really like operations and application teams are going to work as a team. Very different experience. So, if I were a pure sales rep, I would say, hey, Kathy, can you come tell my customer that might prospect that story? Do the sales reps have access to your calendar? How much of your time do you spend with sales folks wanting you to tell stories like that? So, I haven't been with the company that long. So, I have spent a fair amount of my time talking to customers, but we also have a lot of work with an IT. And so, they're just as incented to have me work with an IT because I can understand what we need to do to help our field as well. And that's one of our objectives is, what are we going to do in IT to make it that much easier and better for not just our sales teams, but the manufacturing teams, the support teams, our hardware teams, all the teams that it takes to deliver. And so, in fairness, I have joked with some that have stopped me and said, hey, we need you. I said, remember, we also want to deliver for you so that to make your jobs easier. So, there's a balance that goes on. It's different in a technology company, right? It's kind of encouraged that the CIO goes out and evangelizes. Yeah, it's actually a lot of fun. I do joke that when I go out to talk to the other CIOs, I mean, they're my people. They're too, I, you know, it's the challenges that we have to deal with the, you know, you're dealing with the technology, those very specific items. Then you're dealing with the, how do I help my business? And then you're dealing with, I want to make sure I'm doing the right things for people development and all those. So, Ann, you have a lens across the entire enterprise. So it's not like you're just looking at sales or you're just looking at ops or you're kind of looking at everything to say, well, how do I help all the teams to be that much better? Because the better we are, you know, be cliche, you know, collectively, that's just going to enable Pure to do more for our customers. So what's on the minds of your peers in these days? You know, I feel so fortunate to be in the Bay Area and there are amazing CIOs that get together, talk very openly, share strategies. Actually, eagerly and openly reach out to say, how can I help you? And that's, I think that's a unique as part of the CIO community that there's this willingness to say, look, we're all in this together from a technology perspective. I mean, look, we all want to do well for our companies, but you're also trying to figure out how to make technology teams stronger. And, you know, and it's a lot of the same issues. It's how do I change the focus of and the perception of where IT fits into a business that it's not just back office.  You can be one of the first, you know, betas for your company if you're in a technology area. And that's a change. There's a lot of companies who I've always fascinated where it's like, if you're a product and you have an IT, you're selling to those people. So pitch to them. If you can't sell it to them, you're not going to be successful. So I think it's just changing and evolving, you know, some of those relationships. And that's a big deal.   And we'll actually deliver on future-proof. It's one of those marketing terms that is used by so many organizations delivering whatever kind of product, same as with simple and seamless. Those are, we talk about this all the time. We did hear from customers where Evergreen is concerned. You know, I said, non-disruptive is how much of that goes from a marketing to reality. And consistently heard about Pure's ability to deliver there. But it's interesting and it's refreshing, I think, to hear that you've experienced a changing role of the CIO to be collaborative versus, you know, there's a lot of competition in tech. So that's a refreshing thing to hear. And I have an idea for you since you're so in, you're in such demand. I have a to-do. It's a good, but you're going to like this. I have an idea. Hashtag, help Kathy scale. Give them this video. Thank you, I will do that. You'll be able to reach so many pure customers all across the globe. Thank you, I will do that. That's great advice. And that's an easy to do. It is easy to do. Well, Kathy's been great having you on theCUBE. Thank you for sharing your perspective as their newish CIO and how you went from pure customer to running their IT. And congratulations on being part of the next decade of pure success. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Thanks for coming on. Our pleasure. For Dave Vellante, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE.


Now we look at torque. Now torque is related to linear force, so let's just review a little bit more about that to start with. When I had forces by Newton's law, forces cause an acceleration. And I had my general equation that the net force was the mass times the acceleration. Now this assumed that the object was at a single point. And so that point had a specific position, velocity, and acceleration. If we're talking about the center of mass of the object, then a force applied to the center of mass will cause the entire object to move with that acceleration. Now if I've got a tangential force, then I can have a chance of getting some rotational motion. So if I have a tangential force, and if it's offset from the axis, then I'm going to get an angular acceleration. Here's where we start defining our torque. So torque is a combination of the tangential force and the distance from the axis. So tau is the symbol we use for torque. And it's got a unit of Newton meters. Now be careful of this. When we did energy, we said that a Newton meter was equal to a unit of energy. Torque has the same units, but it's not equivalent to energy. So we never combine these Newton meters to joules because that's an energy unit. In this case, we want to keep it as Newton meters as we're describing our torque. Now there's some alternate equations we can look at. The first one is the one we've already seen with our tangential force. And I'll give you a picture of what that looks like. Imagine I've got a solid object here and I've got some sort of point here that's going to act as a rotation pivot point. And I've got some force that's being exerted on that. Well, the tangential component to the force is tangential to the circular motion. See, when I pull up on here, it's going to cause this bar to rotate around the pivot point. And it's the tangential part of the force that causes that rotation. And the distance from the axis that I need to use here is not necessarily the entire bar's length, but just the distance from the pivot point up to where the force is being applied. Now this tangential force, if I were to look at my triangles, if this is my angle phi that I'm defining, then the tangential part uses the sine of phi. Now another way to look at it is to look at the tangential distance. And what do I mean by that? Well, if I took this force line down and took my pivot point straight out, then I've got some distance between the pivot point and this line of force. Well, that line of force I'm going to define as being my lever arm. That's what my L stands for here. So if I multiply the force by the lever arm, that is also going to give me the torque. Now if I just look at the angle in between, what I'll see is that if I plugged in my lever arm as being r sine theta, or if I plugged in my tangential force as being f sine theta, then both of these equations reduce to that the torque is equal to the force times the distance between the pivot point where the force is applied and the sine of the angle in between those two lines. So that introduces you to what torque is. We still have to look at some other equations that involve torque.
