QuickBooks Online 2024. Accounts receivable aging reports. Get ready and some trail mix because we're hiking on QuickBooks Online, our audit trail to success. Here we are online in our browser looking for QuickBooks Online test drives, choosing the result that has Intuit.com and the URL Intuit being the owner of QuickBooks, selecting the United States version of the software and verifying that we're not a robot. Opening up our major financial statement reports, like we do every time, reports on the left hand side and the favorites. We're going to be right clicking on the balance sheet, open link in new tab, right click on the profit and loss, open link in new tab. Let's go to that middle tab, close up the hamburger and do a range change, bringing it back to 2023, 010123 tab, 123123 tab, run it to refresh it. We'll go to the tab, to the right, close up the hamburger. First, a word from our sponsor. Yeah, actually we're sponsoring ourselves on this one because apparently the merchandisers, they don't want to be seen with us.  Like our, trust me, I'm an accountant product line. Yeah, it's paramount that you let people know that you're an accountant because apparently we're among the only ones equipped with the number crunching skills to answer society's current deep complex and nuanced questions. And change the range once again, 010123 tab, 123123 tab. That's the setup process that we do every time. These are the two major financial statement reports, the balance sheet, the income statement, otherwise known as the profit and loss. We're now looking at other reports, most other reports giving more information about one or multiple line items on one of these two major financial statement reports. This time we're looking basically at the balance sheet line item of accounts receivable. And the accounts receivable account is special in that it's tied to the customer. So this represents money that is owed to us. If I drill down on it, we do get a more detailed report, the transaction detail, basically a general ledger. But this is just giving us the information by date. We also need the information by who owes us the money because we want to be collecting on it. So let's go back and see that report. We're going to go back to the first tab here into our reports on the left hand side and scroll down to the section of who owes you money. These are the reports specifically kind of designed around the accounts receivable. We took a brief look at some of them in a prior presentation in the reports overview section. We got the accounts receivable aging detail, the accounts receivable aging summary. Those are the main two reports that would probably that would be used to be tracking the accounts receivable in addition to tracking the receivables internally in what I would call the customer center. And then we've got the collections report. We've got the customer balance detail. This would be the most classic or basic type of subsidiary report structure in a detailed format versus the summary format. And then we could have the invoices which are basically the open invoices, which you would still think would be the balance that is outstanding invoices and receipts. Those are going to give us more detail about the two forms that are increasing and decreasing accounts receivable. The open invoices, invoices increase the receivables if they have not been paid, then that would be tying in to the receivable. And then statement list terms, unbilled charges. These two have to do with charges that we have made that we want to charge the customer for in the form of time that has been entered and expenses that we need to make an invoice for. So let's look at the most basic report first. Let's look at the customer balance summary. So I'm going to right click on it and open link in a new tab. And if we check this one out, I'm going to close up the hamburger and let's say let's go to the date range up top and say we want a custom range as of 123123. Now notice that this is a balance sheet report that is still reporting as of a point in time. And this one only has that one date field to do an entry into because it's only that one point in time. And you can see here, it just gives us our customers and the amount that they owe us. And if I go to the bottom of this report, we're at the 528152. That amount should tie out to what's on the balance sheet. If I go to the balance sheet over here, we're at the 528152. So that's just the most standard basic kind of subsidiary report giving us more information, which should tie out to the parent account. In this case, on the balance sheet accounts receivable. However, you probably don't use this report as much because you're going to track the stuff that people owe you internally. So if I go to the first tab, and I go to my reports, I'm sorry, if I go to my sales area, and then I go into the all sales, then in here, we can sort our overdue invoices and our open invoices and so on. So we have our invoices here, I'm going to close this back out. And if I go into, if I've got my invoices, it even gives us like a total down below. But this total, you might, the total is really what you might want the subsidiary report for. And then we have the invoices tab over here, where I can do a similar process, we have the overdue, we've got the not do. And I can also look at it this way with the status. These are the unpaid invoices. And if I scroll down, doesn't give us the total on this report. But when we're tracking them internally, this is where we might go. And then, of course, we have the customer tab, which we're where we can also track them. And we might sort it by 20 open invoices here. And now we can see, you know, the open invoices. So, so that's why this report is the classic sub ledger, but we might not use it as much because we're kind of looking at those internal tools to help collect on the reports. But it's important to note that this number should tie out to the balance sheet number here. Okay, and it pretty much always will, by the way, because when we do a journal entry into accounts receivable, QuickBooks forces us to add a customer so that it can create the sub ledger and so that the sub ledger doesn't get thrown off, which is has its pros and cons, but it's actually pretty nice. Let's go into the the reports again, close up the handbook and go down to that was the customer balance summary. Let's go into the customer balance detail, right click and open that report in a new link. It's going to be on the right hand side. Let's do a range change up top. I'm going to do a custom range 1231 23. Actually a custom point in time. And then we have our detail. So now we have the same information, but it's giving us the detail of the invoices. Now basically we have open invoices, because those are the things that are outstanding that's creating the the amount that is that is due at this point in time. So again, a lot of this stuff, however, you might then simply go to the internal reports to use so you might not use this one quite as much. So so then we've got the customer balance summary. We did that. Here's the invoice list. If I right click and open up the invoice list and go into that one, close this up. So now we have our sorting of the invoices. I'm going to switch it to the classic view. So I can see my date range up top going from 010123 to 1231 23. And then I'm going to run it. So now you've got your list of invoices. So that's nice, but you might not need this quite as much because again, you can use the internal report. And if you wanted to filter, I could go into my my balance sheet here, for example, and go into my accounts receivable. And I have my transaction detail within here. And if I want to sort by transaction type, I could do that using my filtering options and add a filter. And I want to sort by transaction type, making it equal to and then an invoice, invoice, and then boom, and filter it. So I can get a similar, you know, report thusly as well. So so there's just to show you that I'm going to go back on over exit. And then we've got invoices and receive payment. So this is both the increases and decreases. If I open that link in a new tab, let's check it out. So we have this here, let's change the range.<PHONE_NUMBER>, hold on, still thinking 123123. And there's that report. So I'll close that up. So this gives us the increases and decreases. This is kind of nice. Because now it's given us the you would think that you can change the detail report to show both the increases and decreases, not just the open invoices. But this report gives you that more detail because I'd like to see if I was looking at the detail report, not just the outstanding invoices, but possibly being able to tick off the payment and the invoice so you can see them kind of matched out. So that's might be a actually a more useful report in some way so that you can see those tied out, although you might check that information internally, as well on a per client or per customer basis. Let's go back to the first tab. We've got the open invoices. If I right click and open that one and check it out, we're going to say, okay, this is going to be let's make it as of 123123 tab, run it. So this looks similar to another to the other report where we have the detail of the accounts receivable because it's given us information by customer and then the open invoices for the customer, meaning the invoices that have been entered and not yet paid, which will result in the increase in accounts receivable 5281452. You would think would be the same number here on the balance sheet. So there's that one statement list and then just these unbilled items just to show you what those mean. If I go into the unbilled items, we can see that in here, we have time charge charges that have happened, meaning we've we've entered time into the system that we plan on pulling over into the invoice, but we have not yet pulled them over into the invoice. Therefore, this report doesn't actually reflect anything on the balance sheet or income statement, but rather is something that we need to do in the future. It's telling us, hey, if you create something for Amy's bird sanctuary, if I go over here and I say boom and make like an invoice for Amy's bird sanctuary, Amy's bird sanctuary, then it's good. I could pull this billable time in because I've entered it, but I haven't yet invoiced it. That's the idea. So I'm going to close that out. Yes. And then we go to the two main reports. First would be the accounts receivable aging summary. Right click and open this one. The reason this one I would say is the main report that we would use is because most of the other reports we already have a lot of that detail internally and what I would call the customer cycle or customer center. Over here, we have something added to that 123123. And that is that we have the past due columns up top. So this is the general format and we have the current amounts and we have still our customers on the left hand side. We have the amounts that have not yet been collected, which are current, which we're not too worried about at this point in time. And then the ones that are one to 30 days past due 31 to 60 past due 61 to 90 past due and 91 and over past due and then our totals. So this report still gives us the total which ties into what's on the balance sheet, but it breaks it out by how much is past due, which is important because that will tell us which clients and customers that were skeptical about whether we're going to get paid. And that's going to tell us whether or not we want to do business with them, sell them anything further in the future. This is also the primary report used when we're trying to think about the likelihood of us collecting on the receivables. So whenever we make sales on receivables, we're running a risk that they don't actually pay the money because we already did the work.  So this can help you to estimate what that is, the portion you're not going to collect on. And at some point, if you have a lot in over 90 days that are uncollected, you have to cut your losses and let it go and possibly write it off if you're using a direct method or an indirect, but it's a different write off method. If you're using an allowance method of recording accounts receivable, the concept there, which usually happens for larger businesses because it's a little bit more difficult to deal with, but the concept is if I recorded revenue based on a sale and I know that some of those revenue items are not going to be collected because just of past history, if I know like 10% of my revenue isn't going to be collected, the revenue on account, the revenue that I sold with accounts receivable, I'm not going to collect on it. Well, then the sale didn't really happen kind of, right? So what I should be doing is recording the expense, bad debt expense in the same point in time that I made the revenue sale if I could, but I can't really do that because I don't know how much revenue or how many, I don't know who's not going to pay. I just have a pretty good idea based on past history that some people will not pay like 10%, let's say, or whatever based on our calculations, based on the calculations from this report. And so what we're going to do then is say that is write it off already and then create an allowance account under the accounts receivable for the amount of accounts receivable we don't expect to collect on. And that makes the balance sheet look more clean or be more fair or proper, because instead of having $5,281.52 as an asset, it should really be that amount minus the amount that we pretty sure we're not going to collect on, even though we don't know who the deadbeats are yet, right, that aren't going to pay. So so and then when we then when we write it off, we write it off to the so that's the allowance methods, you might use this report for that as well. We have a course on accounts receivable and allowance method if that's an interesting topic you want to dig into in more detail. A lot of small businesses might not do it that way because of course, it's tedious to do but you can see why for external reporting purposes, it would be a useful tool and it's generally accepted accounting principles typically okay. So then if we go into Oh, by the way, if I go back on over here, you have some formatting options. So you've got your active cells. You got the aging report dates, you can change the days per aging period if you wanted to. But this is pretty standard. So like this is usually standardized to some degree. But if you're using this for the calculation of allowance for doubtful account or something like that, you might want different periods that might help you for your calculations and you can change those up top. Alright, let's go back on over. We have the last one we'll look at the accounts receivable aging detail right clicking, opening that one up and we'll check it out. So I'm going to change the date up top. This is going to be 123123, run it to refresh it. So there we have it. So now instead of having the columns up top, the times pass due because we want to see the invoices detail, we have the drop down here. So now we've got the drop down here for the 30 to 60 days. And then it gives us the specific invoices and you can see the different customers within it. And then we've got the one to 30. Again, here's your categories. I'm sorry, 31 to 60. This is 31 to 60. This is the one to 30. And then the current is on the bottom of this one. So more detailed report. So you might use these in conjunction with each other. You might look at this report and then think about, okay, let me look at these specific invoices that are in this category or like these overdue categories, where's that $85 that specific invoice, if there were multiple items in there, it might be a little difficult to drill down on there to go over here and find it here. You can drill down on it here. You could also drill down on it here. Right. And that's going to give you your detail as well, which you can further drill down on within here. Right. So that's the general and that takes you to the invoice. So that's the general idea of the aging reports accounts receivable for a larger business is going to be has could have a whole department trying to collect on those trying to collect on those accounts receivable get the allowance accounts reported properly and making sure everything's nice and clean in that account as well as the sub ledgers and all the customers are as happy as they can be while hopefully paying us what they owe us.


Tired of the everyday grind? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you escape. Escape? Designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure.  It's Masafuera, that's all it is. Just an island 300 miles off the coast of Chile. But both you and the beautiful girl beside you know it's more than that. It's the last stop, the last time around. A death trap from which there is no escape. Listen now, as escape brings you Tony Barrett's story, the target. The drink, senor, you see how quick. Another one of your talents you can make like a waiter when necessary. In Chile, senor, a man does many things to live. The waiter was busy so I got the drink, it's not a reason for angry. Alright, Pepe, alright, forget it. You are angry? Look, let's not play games, he's an hour late now, where is he? Perez? He will be here. I watch with great care, he has not come in yet. Trust me, senor. You haven't got much choice, have I? He's being late, is that part of the build-up, part of the sale? You demand prominence in informers, senor?  You never get used to it.  An assurance that this time you're buying the right thing, the magic words. Senor, whereabouts of Arthur Madsen? In your fall for it every time, and move on the way the whispered words said to go, Caracas, Lima, Gochabamba, and now, Taután?  How long you search for him, this Arthur Madsen? A year. You're watching that door, you're sure Perez hasn't come in? I'm sure you know him. I know Perez, senor. Senor, why don't you relax yourself, senor? Think of something of more pleasantness. Like what? Like the lady of great beauty in the next booth. From your country, is she not, senor? Yeah, way off base. Okay? Joint like this, she must be out of her mind. That's fine, all we need now is a beef. Go see what it's all about, Harry. See, I'll be right back. Senor, senor Kennedy, call me quickly. Harry, what is it? Look, senor. There on the floor. Is he dead, senor? What do you think? That knife's got him pinned to the floor. I... I'm sorry for your sake, senor. What are you talking about? The dead one. He's the one you are waiting for. He is Barris. A rat. Another blank. Another dead end. What is it? What happened? Forget it. I've got to see. You wouldn't want to, it used to be a man. Named Perez. Listen, get me out of here now. Please, I can't be found here. Relax, it's a killing. Want a drink? I've got to get out, please. Peppy, wait here for me. Come on, lady, stay close to me. There's a cab. Aren't you coming? No, no, you'll be all right. Cops will be here in a few minutes. A lot of questions, they'll want answers. Tell the driver Quavus Hotel. Caratera, tiene la señorita al hotel Cuevas. I'm at the Royale. Call me in an hour. What will I ask for? Kennedy, Vic Kennedy. My turn. Eve, Eve Coleman. Your call. In an hour. She was, she was lovely, senor. Yeah. What will you say if the police ask about her? That she didn't like blood. Bueno.  The cops will come, they'll see the last questions. And it'll end in drinks for everyone. Because life here is cheap, no? I didn't make it that way.  We'll drink to Perez. He wasn't informer, senor. You always drink to a dead man, even if you wouldn't give him the time of day while he was alive. If you say so, senor. I say.  I'm sorry for that. Yeah. I'm an unhappy man. Once in your room you will sleep, senor. I told you I want to talk, come on. Buenos noches, senor Kennedy. Do you have any messages for me? No, senor. You sure? No phone calls? No, senor. I'm sorry. Get me Miss Eve Coleman at the Hotel Cuervas. Of course. You take it in your room, senor. I'll take it here. Um, moment please, sir. Senor, you sure you don't want to stick around, baby? Senor, it's Eve Coleman. That's what I said. I'm sorry, senor, but there is no one registered there by that name. Senor. All right, all right, forget it. The lovely one who didn't like blood? Yeah. This ain't my day. Senor, why didn't you... I told you I didn't want to sleep or want to talk. Do come in there, boy. Surprise? Yeah. I was under the impression this was my room. That's not much of a greeting for a man who's come all the way from Hartford just to see you. Are you getting all your manners, Kennedy? This is Pepe Galvan. Mr. O'Brien Pepe, chief claims man of the company that puts clothes on my back. Be nice to him, he's a big man. I, I think I better... Social call, O'Brien. Come 2,000 miles just to see me.  No, we've plenty of it, dear boy. Even after pouring your expenses down the drain. Considerable expenses, I'd say. Sit down, Kennedy. You can take me off at any time you like. You got a better man? Put him on it. Oh, no, dear boy. Temper, temper, temper. Wouldn't be fair to you, would it, Kennedy? After all, Arthur Madsen was in your custody. Did he, uh, escape with his bank's 100,000? You come all this way, just tell me that. They have a new idea back home, Kennedy. That perhaps you're not trying too hard to find Arthur Madsen. That from your point of view it might be just the thing you don't want to do. I'll make myself clear. You don't have to fire me, O'Brien. I quit right now.  You could tell them they were right. You're not sure it's job as long as you live. You know, Santiago, Kennedy? The boat's still run. I can get there, why? Well, they didn't come down here just to fight with you. You got one last chance. Now, listen to me. Masafuera is an island 300 miles off of Santiago. I-I-I know where it is, sir. A return on an office wanted describes an American living there. The description fits Arthur Madsen. You hear me? I heard you. Now, take a look. Do, dear boy, do. And I'll tell them back in Hartford that you still try it. Bye, dear boy. Bye. Pepe, you really know Santiago? Sí, señor. You still got a job. Get down the docks. Get passage for both of us for tomorrow. Sí, señor. It's a three-day trip, you know, on a fruit boat. I'd have to make this one if it was a row boat. Pick me up in the morning. The cabin is not so bad, señor. I'll go out on deck for a while. You unpack. Sí, señor. I do that. I never even said thanks, did I, Vic? Vic? You're angry. No. You're angry. You helped a girl who never said thanks. I never called. Why? Was it too much trouble? Pigeon, Vic. Sí, señor. This is a hotel que vas. No, señor. There's no lady here by the name of Eve Coleman. Sorry. Now, why? A joke? A whim? What? Not a whim. I want an answer. It's too long a story. Vic. I got the time. We got the time. You're wasting it. You're wasting... Not too much. You know that? Yeah. Bad habit.  I'll set up these deck chairs. What do you think? Deck chairs should always touch closer dying. Better? You know, some day somebody's going to get smart and make a deck chair for two. You're quiet. It's the setup. To sit with a girl like you to look out at places with names like Antofagasta, Galdera. You could get to like it. Yes. Eve. Yes? Eve, the way you ran out on me in Taltán. Now you're here. Ah, questions. I can see them coming. Where are you going? I'll see you at dinner, darling. You'll be pleased. Sit down, Patty. You look like a man who is in love, but he's not happy about it. Is something wrong, senor? Old habit. Occupational hazard. You always add. Two and two don't come up four. It's bad if it comes four too easy. Bad again. She said you want you to get a radiogram off for me. To Hartford, Connecticut to an insurance company. What is it, Vic? Nothing. Ah, nothing, the man says, just like that. And his eyes narrow and his lips tighten and he wonders how to begin. And when I ask him, what does he say? Nothing. That's what he says. And he fingers a sheet of paper in his pocket. Hopes I don't notice. Very pretty. You're good with words. Vic. I got a present for you. You said a word and they hurt. Vic, please. Because they tell me something. That there is no Eve Coleman. Only a girl who calls herself that. A girl who's... Who's really Mrs. Arthur Mattson. Yeah. That's who I am. Mrs. Arthur Mattson. Any complaints? Any... Vic. You are listening to The Target, tonight's presentation of Escape. Tune in Monday night and meet Coralus Archer here on CBS radio. Remember, on most of these stations every Monday night, come on and meet Coralus Archer. And now back to Escape and the second act of The Target. Invite me in, Vic. You're not away yet. They asked me if you were sea sick when you didn't show for dinner. I'm sick. I missed you. Yeah. Did it hurt to stay away from you, Vic? Tell me how much it hurt. Get out of here. Is it the name? Is that what bothers you? Why don't you try, darling, it's easy. Laura Mattson. Nice? What is it with you? What kind of dame are you? You ask that. You. Look. At what? A child who reached for the moon and sulks because he found it a different color? You can't afford to sulk, Vic. Not you. What? The last time I saw my husband was an hour after his escape from you. How does a little man like Arthur Mattson get away from a man your size, Vic? How? He buys, I think. You're out of your mind. You want the price? $5,000. Arthur told me. Hurtting me won't change it, darling. It doesn't change anything. He lied to you. You hear what I say? I don't care. Don't you understand that? Not about any of it. I love you, darling. I. I. Say it. I want to hear you say it. Vic. I love you, Laura. I love you, Laura. Senor. You find out anything? Catch my breath, senor. Where is she, peppy? Where? I try to cabin every place, every place. Easy, easy, senor. I just found out from one of the sea men. He saw her leave the moment with Doc. She was the first one off. What? Well, she couldn't. You sure? It's what he say. It must be so, senor. She's nowhere to be found. I'm sorry, senor. You take the stuff to the hotel. I got things to do. Be with the Santiago police most of the day. Which hotel, senor? What's the best? Casa Santiago. Right on the beach. It's nice for swimming. All right. That's it, then. Last time around. Might as well go first class. Must have been a long visit with the police. It's after eight, senor. I haven't seen the chief yet. He's at the other end of the city all day. He'll be here in any minute. Then I see you in the morning. You like the room and the radio? Yeah. Senor Kennedy? That's right. You, Captain Delgado? Very late, Delgado, with much apology. Oh, what? Come on in. For taking so long to return your call. Oh, forget it. You didn't know I was coming. But of course I did, senor. Your senor O'Brien said so. Sit down, senor. Drink. Nice idea, senor. Very nice.  Me? I think we talked for maybe twenty minutes. A long time. Yeah, O'Brien can talk. Here's your drink. Gracias. A cara lo que merezca, senor. My Spanish is not good. Translation. To each what he deserves. Or you call philosophical, no? Yeah. Well, I'm sure O'Brien told you the whole setup, then. See, everything. What do you think? It's possible this Arthur Metzen is on Massa Fuera. If so, he won't be hard to find. A wild island, senor. Beautiful but no different than it was thousands of years ago. Prominent, huh? See, they will know if an American lives on that island. They don't you know? O'Brien amigo, he asks me the same question and I try to explain to him. Explain, explain what, Delgado? It's a simple fact that Massa Fuera is just an island and that I have no, how you call, jurisdiction there. Comprehend them? Mmm. Yeah. Yeah, I understand. Then we have no problems. None? Well, no. The day has been long and the bed will be as a friend. If there is anything I can do for you here in Santiago, you will give me that pleasure. You've done it already, senor. Then I say good night to you, senor, and good hunting. I hope you find this Arthur Metzen before she does. She? The young lady. The lovely young lady who asks my lieutenant about Metzen only this afternoon. Buenos noches. Open your eyes, Vic. For me. Laura. A man on a loan on the beach at night is trying to wash something out of his mind. Oh, Laura. No questions? No where have you been? I know where you've been. Doesn't matter. Say it, Vic. I want to hear it. I love you, Laura. I can't. I love you. Sweet Vic. Laura's Vic. Worried, Vic. Metzen, what are we going to do about him? Why, Laura? Why? You've always known you'd have to do it. Now listen. You took a bride, darling, remember? I don't want my Vic in prison. I want him with me. Close to me. Kill him, darling. Laura.  Our money. You hear me, darling?  Our money, Laura. There's a plane in the morning. They must have where it. We'll be on it. Together. We'll be on it. A white man hunting Laura. Oh, not eight hours of it. Elgato didn't tell me it was all uphill. Vic. Huh? What is it? Clearing just ahead. I think it's the top. It better be. Come on. In time for dinner, Mr. Kennedy, I waited almost a year for you. You're looking well, Laura. Tire, but well. Hello, Arthur. You want to freshen up, my dear? Arthur. And while you do, I'll entertain Mr. Kennedy. What my island has to recommend it. Freshen up, Laura. Matteson. Now, let me play host, Kennedy. I'm out of practice, but let me try. Your drink, Laura. Yours, Kennedy. Lost his mind. Is that what you're thinking, Kennedy? That Arthur Matteson lost his mind?  Values change, Kennedy. This is all I care about now. This terrace, the view from it. Even the rocks a hundred feet below. A great lesson, Kennedy. From here, everyone's a little man. I'm glad you're happy, little man. How am I going to die, Kennedy? Will you use a knife, a gun? How? What's the matter with you? I don't mind. Not really. I've had a year away from her. A whole year. You'll pray for your island. It won't take too long. You're crazy. Laura's doing better with you, Kennedy.  I only stole for her. You stole for yourself, Matteson. No.  Poor Kennedy.   You told him I had the money, Laura. Lovely, lovely. Kill him, Vic. Now. What are you waiting for? Who's got it, Matteson? Who?  She's always had it. But I'm the only one who knows it, aren't I, Laura? With me alive, you'd never be safe. Never be completely sure.  Let him live too long, Vic. He shouldn't have said that. Don't move, Vic.  Both.  I bought that, darling. You were getting too close. Say goodbye, Arthur. Nicely. Not alone. I won't go alone. Under the direction of David Friedkin and Morton Fine, The Escape has brought you The Target, a story by Tony Barrett.

In today's video I was sent a mystery box from two of my most dedicated viewers. What's up guys we're back with another mystery box opening. In this one we have a mystery box that this doesn't actually matter. I don't think it says Yu-Gi-Oh common bulk fallen and something I don't know what that is but I don't think that's super relevant. Two of my most dedicated viewers Goldy and Europa. They're both mods on YouTube and Twitch. They come out to the Twitch streams which have 30 viewers most of the time so they are there basically every time. They've been dedicated followers for a long time. They told me hey we sent you something and I've had this for a little bit because you know the move and everything and they were like hey have you opened it and I was like I got you. I got you so I pulled it out from all my other boxes and I have no idea what's in here. I've opened it up real quick just to see if I think this is it. They have like real names on there versus you know the names on Twitch and stuff like that. So I'm 99% sure this is from them. Let's see if it's not then you might not even see these intro so let's see what's inside. I have no idea. I think there is a giveaway though so let's open this thing up and see. So right off the bat we have an open first so that should make it easy. So I'm just going to move this over. This flap is going to get in the way. All right I will move this over. There's a giveaway that I saw in there as well so we have open first. Okay that I can do. I can follow instructions. Open first. All right here we go. Hello Ruxen. When you hold this letter in your hands the package I promised you has finally arrived. In this package I send you German candy. Taste testing. Oh man. Oh man. Candy okay. A gift from Jose aka Unholy Fatman. I forgot Unholy Fatman also sent something so that's three of my most dedicated viewers. I think Unholy Fatman has the longest consecutive Twitch sub to me. It's like 30 something months which is insane because I didn't even stream for like a year so shout out to him. Which you are allowed to open on video. A giveaway in a deck box labeled Save the Moss. Okay I'm excited to see that one. Only continue reading this letter once you find three empty sleeves in the deck box. Okay we gotta find three empty sleeves in the deck box. All right there is a giveaway in here. Let me uh I forgot to do this too but now you're seeing it early because we put it back. The magic of editing is now at the beginning. To end with this giveaway to win whatever these are inside I have to do is like the video be subscribed to our notifications. Let me know down below what you think of the mystery box from viewers of the channel and do you want to see stuff like this in the future? All right let's see what you guys can win in here. We have a little Blue Eyes Tyrant Dragon. We've got Blue Eyes White Dragon. We've got Blue Eyes White Dragon Korean from LOB. We have the Exodia Korean and a guy at the Dragon Champions. That's a pretty nice giveaway. I'm not gonna lie that's really good cards out of LOB. We've got blue eyes. We've got Blue Eyes Tyrant Dragon so very nice stuff. Okay so part one is taste testing which would be taste testing a gummy. They are from Germany too of them Goldie and Europa. Unholy Fat Man is not. He is from the United States but I guess these are they're originally from Germany right so it's like the OG the originals. I'm probably gonna say something that's completely wrong but I think that's right. Chelsea's not here so no taste testing for now but maybe on a Twitch stream we'll whip those out. Monday, Wednesday, Friday we stream on Twitch mostly Pokemon stuff for the Pokerux channel so if you want to come hang out there super fun. Shout out to Pokerux. All right let's go. Next step is from Jose aka Unholy Fat Man. Let's pull out what he has here. It is an Ultimate Guard deck box which is taped in a very unusual way so I'm not exactly sure maybe this has packs in it I guess. I think that's what that means because he said something about opening it. This is kind of like an old school like a fan mail kind of video that we used to do. We haven't done many of those in a long time because not as much fan mail because I haven't really mentioned it or anything and then also yeah we just stopped kind of doing those videos. All right let's see what we have so from Jose let's see what we got. Okay I'm reading this wrong. It's not from Jose. I give four Jose's so we're opening this four so I guess they got it send it to me to open then we're going to send it to Jose. I figured it out. I read it correctly. Okay so we have Maze of Memories. We got Rarity Collection. We got Duelist Nexus. We got Age of Overlord. Wow why is that yellow? That looks a lot more yellow I guess it's the European version. Oh German version. Okay there we go and then we have some pretty cool cards it looks like. They have a Limital Hero Nios. Very nice. We've got some German versions of Ray. Got a Rose. We got Sage of Strength. Battle's Legend Monster's Revenge. Is this a what are these Battle's Legend Monster's Revenge? I don't even remember these Sage cards.  We opened so much of that I guess I wasn't paying too much attention. This is like part of a deck. Oh wait got engage in here. Okay is this a Sky Striker deck? Maybe it is mostly a Sky Striker deck. Okay that's pretty cool actually. I mean that's not part of the deck that's for sure but I mean I should have known that from there but I figured it was just random cards. Okay I figured it out. Okay all right four packs. These are for Jose. I think the order we need to go in is definitely Duelist Nexus first because it's the least exciting. This is a German pack I believe based on the first edition. Let's see one two three is it still four from the back in German? I don't know I'm not gonna try. Okay maybe I should try to read these. Okay what's a German? I can't even know a German accent. We have the Da Suforte Eppos von Charles. Okay we have Altergeist, Wetternellerberg. We have Perli Tillerli. Perli Tillerli. We have Valencewell, Meisterphase, and Gaelot, Decraft der Sonne. We have Sherwara, Cornfield, Codel. Okay we have the Grinsaurus and oh we've got the Rillister Traumarillent von Neymarria. That is not hard to read at all. I totally nailed it. I already can't read new Yu-Gi-Oh cards they're way too long. Putting it in the German language is totally unfair. I like it's just too much. All right this looks like an English pack. First edition. Maze of Memories. Let's see we have a Meknei Blue Sky. I'm excited to read these. Blackwing Colute. I think they put those at the, and for European I think they put the foil at the back so we don't have to do any pack trick. Imperial Iron Wall we have Double Attack, Wind and Thunder. Wind and Thunder. Angel of Blue Tier. Pull a good card. Right here. No that is a Gate Guardian. Cool card though. Cool card. Gate Guardian combined. I'll take it. You know what I'll do? I'll talk in the Paradox Brothers accent the rest of the way. That'll consider that a German accent though it is not. Oh we got a Collector Rare. The Wind Dragon of Wrath. Sphere Mode. I'm gonna say it like that. Dimension Barrier. Two Collector Rares. Okay. All right a gift to Jose. Already pulling some fire right now. We've got the Sphere Mode. Very cool. And then we've got Dimensional Barrier. It's Dimension Barrier? Dimension Barrier. Dimension Barrier. All right. Last pack. Age of Overlord. This is another German pack. Let's see if we can get something good here. This is hard guys. This is hard on me. Okay. This is just, this is cruel. I know you guys are gonna be cracking on me trying to read these. Spiel der Tistina. Tal Sangremeister. We have Pendle Evolution. Terrey. Sharves Sauriga. Shino Baroness. I feel like I'm gonna say it a cuss word or something. I might excuse that. We have Stern. And oh my good. Somebody tell me how to say that. I mean come on. There's I have no chance. This is bullying right now. All right we are officially on to the final step which is save the moths which is right here. The challenge. Save the moths. Okay there's some sort of challenge going on. All right let's slice this thing open. It's taped up you know to save keeping and everything. It made it through customs. They didn't want to you know open the deck box or anything. All right so we pull these out. They said when we find the empty sleeves that's when we go back. So here's what we do. We have three empty sleeves. Okay I'm seeing I'm seeing some good stuff back there. Three empty sleeves right here. Here is where we continue to read. So congratulations. You found my challenge.  Your challenge is to open packs. But what for you might ask. Here's the deal. It's a perfectly ultimate great moth. This says giant moth but I'm assuming maybe that's a translation. It's giant moth over there. I'm not really sure. Or insect queen. Maybe you just typed it wrong. I don't even know. The petite moths need the cocoon of ultra evolution. And as you see they are missing. To save your beloved moths head to the internet and look for the three cheapest near mint verified copies of the cocoon. Once you find them search for the envelope save the moths pack challenge. Okay wait a second. Look for the three cheapest near mint verified copies of the cocoon. All right. Okay. All right. I'll do it. Okay so what I was told to do was head to the internet look for the three cheapest near mint verified copies of the cocoon of ultra evolution. So there's three options here. We have the cocoon of ultra evolution legendary dual season one. That's a dollar 25. We have speed dual which is 175. That's a skill card. So I don't think they're talking about that. Then there's legendary dual ancient millennium which is two bucks. So I think this is the cheapest one. Oh wow. What in the world happened? Why are they spiked? What happened? Okay. So this lowest is $2.18. Let me go back to the other one. All right. Cheapest here is more than that. Okay. So it is more than that. So it is the legendary dual season one that is the cheapest. Three lowest verified copies. Once you find them search for the envelope save the moths pack challenge. Okay. Save the moths pack challenge. Okay. Is this it? Oh no. Do we have some packs in here? Uh oh. Pack challenge. I like it. I like it. Okay. Is there going to be some legendary dual season one in here or what? Or maybe. Oh wait what? Save the moths pack challenge. Wait. These don't. These aren't the packs I was expecting. Wait a second. In the envelope there are German packs disorder for you. You need to meet the value of three cocoons to be able to afford them and save the moths. Okay. So we just have to equal the value. We don't actually have to pull them because this is intended to be a Christmas present too. Yeah. We were a little late. Sorry guys. I promised to you a Joker. Your Joker can be one of two options. Another set of packs count the number of German packs you were sent or one token card that you shall give away with the token card equaling the missing value. This doesn't mean you can't open more packs but if you only draw the Joker the value will count to the total. Choose wisely to save the beloved moths. Daniel aka Europa. Okay. I'm a little confused by this Joker thing. Oh by the way this was also in here. This I think was another part of the candy snacking episode which we will have to save for another time because Chelsea is not here but also that's why they told me to open it because like our candy might go bad. You won't want to go open that. So okay. Yeah. Sorry about that. Okay. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the Joker. I've been sitting. Okay. Does Joker mean I have to name a card and if we pull it I have to do something or does that mean based on number two it seems like if we don't get enough money we give away something equaling the value of what we didn't get and then with the I don't get number one count the German packs you were sent. See what's confuses me and it says but only if you draw the Joker the value will count to the total. Okay. So I'm not exactly sure what they mean by this. Let me know in the comments your interpretation. What we're going to do is we're going to open these. They are German but we're going to use English prices to see. We need six dollars and fifty four cents to be able to afford and complete the Picanio Moth deck which we have to go through after we're done. If we don't get there we'll give away all the cards that we pulled in these packs right here including with the giveaway. Also I do want to go through the deck first so we have first of all German Moth so there's a lot of these. We got three of those. We got the perfectly ultimate. We got Parasite. We got insect queen. Oh yeah this is a great deck. We got the dragon bites. The oh man this is like this is just like our deck when we were playing we were trying to summon the Picanio Moth. It's very similar actually a lot of German cards so I need to learn these so I can actually play them. Giant ballpark. It's so much like our master duel deck that we played for a while. It was super fun. We need to revisit that deck. It was super cool. Okay and it also was in our April Fool's you know video last year which was pretty amazing. I'm not going to lie. Okay I feel like I messed something up and I should be doing something else but it's what we're going to do. Six dollars and fifty four cents. That's what the cost of three of the cocoons is so we got to try and pull better than that. Here we go. We got the Stark. Oh I should have done that. What if we get a quarter century. I think we automatically hit it if we do that because we only need six bucks. So we we just need one good card basically. We have the oh there's a dinosaur to go with our our Picanio Moth. We have the Gernos. That is the jar and oh whoa let's go. Did we just hit it on the first back? We're close. You'll see it on the screen. That is going to be nice. Okay yeah we're not doing German values just because it's going to be way harder to find. English well it'll be close enough so that's a nice pull. I think we may have already hit it out of doulas nexus of all things. Okay and then we have rarity collection. That's going to make it a lot easier with rarity collection stuff. All right we have the uh this has been a very fun video very different video you know trying to pull something complete the legendary Picanio Moth deck. Very awesome that they put that together. The Magnum Durabloser. I guess they really liked when we did the the Picanio deck I should say. Maybe we should bring that back to twitch at some point. It's been like a year since we did that. It's pretty insane. Rarity's up next. Let's see we have the S barrier. We have the written we have oh secret rare baron. I don't think that might be a dollar uh oh nebiru prismatic ultimate rare not not ultra rare like oh wow the texture on the european slash german ones way better than what we got that's for sure. Okay I feel like those had to be worth something right. I mean some of those cards had to be decent so that that's pretty good. Another rarity collect you know let's say this rarity collection just in case we need something at the end. 25th anniversary dueling heroes pack. So gold. Golden packaging. All right we have Libro Mancer. Oh look English I can read this. Grand Toss Dragon. We have Merry Malthies. Scareclaw. We have Pradaplant Byblis. Smoked Mosquito. We have the Pazuel. I don't know I don't know what to say that. Renegostruction. We have Rite of Eremus here. Okay in the Megaton uh Prismatic Secret version and they're on regular I cannot speak. I feel like we're doing pretty good right now I'm not going to lie. I feel like we've bought some good cards. Let's just pull an SP Little Knight German. How about that? We'll pull an SP Little Knight. We can afford a mini min... I thought I saw something for a second. For a second I thought I saw we got a quarter century. I was like no way. Okay it's just these cards are really shiny from europe. Well that's I was like what oh my goodness okay UFO light uh we have Justina. We have another card. We have the X Raptor and we didn't get a quarter century. If we had I would have lost it. That would have been pretty sweet. Last back magic will we be able to afford the cocoons? I don't know if we will. It's pretty close right now I'm not gonna lie. I think we might be there it depends on how much that first card was worth. All right come on Rarity I don't think I need to do a Patrick here. We have Plot of Desires. Nice card. We have the Dimension Shifter. There we go. Okay uh Danger Jackal. Oh man hiccups are hitting me. Means it's a good sign. I think that's a good sign. That it is right? That's something that like oh ash blossom. That's a couple bucks. That's that's worth like one cocoon right there. That's pretty good and Vision Hero Faris. Vision Hero Faris is just named oh wait no he's not. Okay Vision's held. Okay I thought it just said Vision Hero Faris. I was like it's still in English. That's kind of weird. Okay here's what we did. Did we get enough for the cocoon? I'm hoping so. So I don't have to give you those cards and I can get the cocoon. All right we did. It looks like pull enough money to get these so I am gonna have to get one from Crazy Deals, one from Birdman TCG, and one from Ghost Games because they all have one so nobody had three. So it did cost a little bit more than we were expecting but I'm pretty sure I made a couple bucks more than we thought we needed. So it works out pretty good. I'm gonna order all three of these and we are gonna complete that Picanio Moth deck in the future. I mean you probably won't see that because it's gonna take a lot of good here and everything but I want to show this part of me actually getting the the cards because I want to complete the Picanio Moth deck. Greatest deck ever made. If you have not already seen it in action make sure you go check out my April Fools video from last year. Shout out to Goldie and Europa for sending me this package and then also unholy fat men for being associated as well. Thank you guys for watching and make sure you guys thank them in the comments for this awesome video. Shout out to the home foe show, Puffins of Doom, Ernesto Dian, America Doi Steer, Brad, KK Beats, and then a Thai show Ian Musso, Jr. Barting, Robert F, Thomas McLean, Cheng Ling, and Joey Castle. Thank you guys for supporting the channel and I'll see you guys next time. Peace.


Reportedly, Bill is shopping Mac, potentially trying to find a trade partner for that. Could you see the Patriots and Mac Jones parting ways? I think that was fake news. There was just too much turnover this year.  Just the whole offensive staff was basically turned over this year. And then if you're shipping your quarterback, that's just too much turnover to have in the NFL in one season. And the possibility to be able to compete the following year. So I don't think that's real news. I think that is fake news. But in the future, if Mac Jones doesn't put it together this year with Billy O'Brien and all that, I could see that being a possibility after this season. But I don't think that was true over this off season so far. And I just gotta stamp that as fake news.

Welcome everybody, and thank you so much for being here. I'm Martin Hall for the University of Seoul Food, and it's my pleasure to be chairing this conference today and tomorrow.  It's completely sold out, and thank you all for making the time and trouble to come on what is a really important topic for discussion. I'd like to thank those who've made this meeting possible. They're up there on the slide as the sponsors and supporters. In particular, I'd like to thank the British Library for hosting this event at what really is itself symbolically such an important venue here in London for the future of the book. I'd like to thank OARPEN and Just Collections in particular for working so hard on putting together what is going to be a really interesting programme. I wanted to make a few opening comments before I turn, first of all, to our guest keynote speaker. To try and frame something of why this is such an important topic for us to be discussing. I want to do that partly from my own perspective as an academic in the humanities and social sciences, in my case as an archaeologist. My original speciality was in the early Iron Age of the Zulu Land Coast. You can't get more obscure than that if you try. You try publishing a book on the early Iron Age of the Zulu Land Coast, taught at probably two universities with a collection of maybe 15 or 20 colleagues. Maximum print run, if you're lucky, 300, from the publisher of full colour plates, please, and on top of that an affordable price so everybody gets access to it. The crisis in monograph publishing in one form or another has been with us as many people here will realise for certainly well over 20 years. Certainly, as far as I'm concerned, from the time that the great university presses began to lose the ability to provide the financial subsidies that made that sort of publication possible. And that, of course, was way before we had any notion of what the digital age was or would bring. Of course, publishing in these sorts of areas is crucial for the advancement of knowledge. And what I learnt in that, and many people here will have appreciated in their careers, is that in getting that sort of work out in monograph form, publishers were always our friends and our close colleagues. I've worked with a number of publishers in getting my own work out, which whom I've learnt to respect deeply, they've been passionate about the work. Without them as agents, as friends, as participants, as critics, and as professionals, we never as academics would have published anything. And I think it's particularly important to hold on to that as we look into the future and the way that we work into the future. Of course, some publishers in the course of their professions, along with authors, have taken hugely courageous decisions to publish and make work available, particularly in the arts, the humanities and the social sciences. For example, the courage shown in publishing Robert Mapplethorpe's extraordinary photography so long ago in the face of draconian censorship laws, which would have in fact stopped people having access to that art, was extraordinary and remains extraordinary, just read through the difficulties and the controversies about bringing Salman Rushdie's work into print and the complex sorts of situations that publishers had to face to make perspectives available or, of course, not to make them available to us as readers. And that's the sort of environment, I think, that we all come from in the humanities and the social sciences. And then, of course, from the early 1980s onwards, we began to see the growing momentum of the digital world and the possibilities of digital publishing. Apparently Bill Gates really did say 64K should be enough for anybody. I can remember on an early Apple II in the early 1980s being totally enthralled that if you put a six letter code before a word and a six letter code after a word, it would underline automatically. We thought that was absolutely wonderful. We had no particular notion then of exactly how that would transform our opportunities for scholarly practice. We now face a world where effectively there is no practical limit to the amounts of digital data that we can store and transmit and practice no practical limit for us as scholars working in the humanities and social sciences. The cost of that digital data storage and transmission is dropping all the time. We have bandwidth virtually everywhere, including in many parts of the developing world, which until recently were cut off from the distribution of knowledge when the price of a textbook published in America would be equivalent to the entire monthly salary, for example, of a lecturer at the University of Kenya. We are seeing the advent of what we can call thin clients, cheap affordable mobile devices that virtually everybody can have. We're getting into a situation where the vast majority of the world's population will still have students have smartphones and we are in an age of locational intelligence. Our digital devices, if we let them and it's very difficult to stop them, know we are, know where we are, know what we're doing, know what we're reading and increasingly in a very alarming way seem to know exactly what it is we want. So the challenge of this, I think, for scholarly publishing, which is what today and tomorrow are about, is to how to manage the transition. How to manage this very complicated transition from a former form of publishing, which after all, as I've said, has been in crisis for many years, into realising the possibilities of the future. Those indeed were some of the issues that we tackled on the Finch group and the next panel immediately after our guest speaker will be about Finch. But there is a point that I need to make there and that is that Finch was about something rather different. The Finch group was convened by the Department of Business, Industry and Skills primarily to look at the possibilities for the economic return from publishing and the way that the dissemination of knowledge through open access could in fact bring economic return, particularly to small and medium businesses and enterprises, in other words to get a return on investment within the British and other economic systems. The point about today's discussion is that it simultaneously is about the money, but it's not about the money. It's not about the money in the sense that there is a disproportionate relationship between the amount of funding that goes into the arts and humanities and their importance. In other words, if you look at any country's funding systems for research and you look at the amount of money that goes into the humanities, it's a very small proportion of the overall science and scholarly budget. But of course the humanities and social sciences have a significantly disproportionate effect on understanding our world and their importance in our world. Without things that are done in the humanities and social sciences, we won't know things that we have to know about the world irrespective of how little that they cost us to do in relative terms. So this is a different discussion. It's primarily a discussion about the significance and importance of monograph publishing in the arts and humanities for its own sake. But at the same time, of course, it is about the money because if the money doesn't work, it's not possible to publish at all. And if the funding can't be apportioned to the project in a way that enables that stuff to get out there, we're not going to see any publication. So it is about the viability of publication. It is about the viability of publishing in this digital age. It is about the viability of getting content out there in ways that can be exciting. And again, turning back to my background as an archaeologist, I find that particularly exciting as a set of future possibilities. One of the particular things about archaeology is we work with words which can easily be translated into digital content, but we also work with stuff.  Anybody who's seen what really comes out of an archaeological site would have seen the tons and tons and tons of dirty broken pottery that we have an obligation to study, preserve for perpetuity and write about. Now very, very difficult to get that sort of stuff out there in conventional analogue forms. And one of the reasons why people like archaeologists and classicists are so fascinated by the digital revolution is that it gives us new ways of disseminating our stuff. And so digital publishing is not only just a substitute for conventional analogue publishing. For disciplines like mine, it opens up huge new possibilities of sharing information in different ways, either through high resolution images that can be distributed online, or through real-time live databases that can be embedded into publication, which means that people can interact with data in different ways. It also opens up possibilities for crowdsourcing and participation in academic activities. Archaeologists are discipline that attracts a worldwide following of amateurs, who in fact are the people who go off increasingly with their GPS devices and their mobile phone cameras and find new things. Getting into a digital world of publishing opens up possibilities for that information to be embedded within our scholarly exercises. So the possibilities is in front of us for getting it right for monograph publishing and open access, and not only about substituting for the loss of the conventional book. They're also about the possibilities that come from different forms of digital representation, different forms of digital dissemination that will ultimately and are immediately make the scholarship better. We can be better at it through enabling these devices. So that's some of the background for the sorts of discussions that we are going to have today and tomorrow, and why I think they're particularly important. I would now like to hand over to our keynote speaker, Jean-Claude Gaedon, from the Comparative Literature at Montreal. But in particular, and his biography is in your pack, very distinguished by being one of the signatories of the Budapest Open Access Initiative back in 2002, which was certainly a formative milestone in the road towards open access that's been rightly acknowledged for its foresight and its importance in steering us on this journey, and it's a particular pleasure to have him with us this morning.


Hey there lads and ladies, it is Petrifying Pumpkins here and today I wanted to make a video about a topic that I've been thinking about for a while and just something I wanted to put out there. I made a tweet about this earlier on today and I thought maybe you know, it's good enough to go into a bit deeper studios that I think Sony should acquire for the PS viewer or at least looking at some candidates that I think would be a good fit for the PlayStation first-party lineup and of course with the focus of virtual reality in mind. Now, what's got me thinking about that is you know, recently enough last year, not too long ago, Oculus, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, those lads and ladies over there, they have been acquiring some top viewer studios, got ready at dawn, they snatched those guys up who had previously met a PS4 exclusive the Order 1886, that game which I loved personally, but it seemed to kind of critically bomb anywhere, it was like you know, mixed reception. Ever since that game, ready at dawn, kind of went into more experimental stuff, including virtual reality and I think they've found some great success over there with echo combats arena, I believe it's called or something along those lines, listen, it's not on PS viewer, I don't care. All right, so the Zuck snatched them up, he added them to his collection and now there was another one as well, another high-profile one, probably the biggest one, Beat Games, the studio behind the phenomenon kind of the phenomenon, beat Saber which has recently confirmed it sold over 4 million units, now that game was released on a multiple of platforms including PS viewer, I'm not entirely sure what the breakdown is there in terms of which platform sold the best, I'm sure PS viewer makes up a sizable percentage, if not most, it's definitely up there, I would imagine, it was one of the early games, it's always in the top 10 selling PlayStation Store download charts, so it has to have been doing well on the PS viewer, so Zuckerberg swooped in, Oculus, well whoever did make the decisions over there, they swooped in and they stole that one on us too, now just because they own the studio doesn't necessarily mean they won't release games on the PS viewer and we've kind of seen you know with Beat Saber that was released on PS viewer before they got boss, so they've continued to support that game even on PS viewer in terms of like music pack updates, they're still making money that way, in terms of features that they're adding, however you must say that PS viewer is not the focus, it's not the primary thing, they're very happy to release content on Oculus and PC viewer systems first and then slowly working them on PS viewer, now of course that could be technical challenges, technical limitations, that's why it takes longer, so for example the multiplayer updates we're still waiting for that on PS viewer, it's coming soon and I've no doubt it's going to be excellent when it does come, but I'm sure if it hadn't been the other way around and Sony swooped in and bought Beat Studios or Beat Games, sorry, I'm sure they would have prioritized the PS viewer port first and then the PC guys would be waiting if Sony allowed that at all and then you know on the flat side of things Microsoft have been swooping in and buying up studios left and right, the biggest one, the biggest bombshell in the industry last year if you ask me, maybe the last 10 years if you ask me, was Microsoft buying Bethesda or should I say Zenimax Studios and all the studios that they own which includes Bethesda and all these other studios that they, it was like 7.5 billion dollar investment, so they have cleaned up on that side of things, so I'm thinking to myself maybe between all these acquisitions Sony are starting to get a little bit, I wouldn't say panicky, but maybe they're weighing up their options, maybe they're looking at studios that they themselves can swoop in and steal for themselves, you know, not steal, you know, obviously it's all business, you know, it's no hard feelings one way or the other, but as a PS viewer channel you would want, I would want Sony to be swooping in the stuff so that I can play these games guaranteed, I'm not going to be mad if another company platform holder swoops in and takes a studio as long as they still release the game on my platform of choice, however there's a you know a high probability that they will lock it to that platform whatever it may be, so Sony have been in the PS viewer game for about four years now, does that make sense, four years, 2016? Yeah, over four years now and you could say that their first parity output for the PS viewer hasn't been fantastic, it's been okay, I would say better than the visa, that would not be hard, but if you look at things, I mean if we actually just count the studios, the biggest one, the most obvious one, Sony London, that's kind of the the jewel in the crown when it comes to first-party viewer studios for Sony, they of course were there at the very beginning with the London Heist and then they released that bundle the PS viewer worlds, which I'm sure everyone and their mother goss when they purchased the PS viewer for the first time, you had the Shark Cage, all that stuff, and then a couple years later they came out with Blood and Truth, which was fantastic, so they're a great feather in the cap as it were, you could also look at Sony Japan, kind of, I say kind of because they're not dedicated to the viewer, they do other stuff, they were involved in Bloodborne, they seem to help out a lot of other studios a lot, but those were the guys behind you know, AstroBoss, probably the best platformer of last generation, certainly on a PlayStation console, so that's two big ones, now they also had Gorilla Cambridge, they again, they didn't start off as a viewer studio, they made a Killzone game for the VISA, and then of course they went on to make Riggs Mechanized Combat League, which was a launch game for PS viewer, that game evidently flopped, and then Sony were like, okay Killzone mercenaries flopped, Riggs Combat Evolved, flopped, therefore were shutting down the studio, which I always, I've had a bit of a grudge for Sony for doing that because VISA was a doomed platform, PS viewer was just like a brand new thing, you know, I feel like they should have given them another chance, maybe bring a Killzone title to viewer instead of you know, a new IP like Riggs or whatever, but for all I know there was more stuff going on behind the scenes, maybe Sony didn't like how that studio was being run, maybe they were being wasteful, maybe I don't know, so there's a lot of things we don't know, so I'm just talking as an outsider looking in, which is all I can do really because I don't have insider information of course, and then there was this mysterious Manchester studio who had apparently been working on this viewer game, and we kept hearing updates for what felt like a few years, you know, they're working on this, it's going to be AAA, it's going to be viewer, and before we even got to see what that game was, Sony were like poof, you know, panels snapped, they're gone, so that studio got cancelled, that game presumably got cancelled, I don't think it got moved to any other studio unless, you know, Sony London are working on it right now or something like that, but from what I understand that game is gone, so out of those four studios to our left standing right now that you would say you would be confident would be continuing to make virtual reality game for Sony as first party studio, but there is one studio that I feel like some people forget about, which is kind of easy to forget about too, because this studio also known for doing a lot of flat stuff, especially recently, but Sony's most recent studio acquisition was Insomniac Games, now of course we know Insomniac from Ratchet and Clank, we know it from Spider-Man and Spider-Man Miles Morales just came out, so Ratchet and Clank is due out this year on PS5, but before Sony acquired them they were dabbling into virtual reality games over on PC, Rift I believe it was, and those are some really well received games, high production value polished stuff, so while I have no doubt that when Sony acquired Insomniac their main focus was on Spider-Man, Ratchet and Clank, I'm sure that you know in the side of their eye they were looking at these VR projects that Insomniac were working on too, and that kind of sweetened the deal for them or at least that's what I would hope, keep in mind Insomniac is actually quite a huge studio, they've got a bunch of teams and that's how they're able to release these games like in quick succession, you know Spider-Man 2018, Miles Morales just a couple of months ago, and Ratchet and Clank presumably well definitely sometime this year unless it gets delayed, but you know this is all big games releasing you know fairly close proximity, so I would be hoping that Sony have these guys you know behind the scenes working on a PS viewer title or maybe a PS viewer 2 title, I guess this whole video kind of hinges on the possibility or working under the assumption that there is a PS viewer 2 and that that is going to come out 2022, 2023, something like that, otherwise this video is a waste of time, if you're watching this in the future it's 2025 and there's no PS viewer 2, you go ahead and click off, now hit the download button whatever, thanks for watching I guess, sort all that preamble out of the way, I'd like to get into these five studios that I've been thinking about that I've been you know I've been trying to carefully think about certain studios, I don't want to just you know google a list of studios and say yes this yes yes yes these are all good studios, the more studios the better, no I think they have to be pretty intelligent, I think they have to fit with Sony to a certain degree with their ethos or their wheelhouse or they could fill certain gaps that Sony's first party currently has, so these are the kind of things I'm working with you know not just Sony acquiring these things but what they can bring to the table, how Sony can benefit from them and maybe how they can benefit from being acquired by a big publisher like Sony or a big platform holder like Sony, so with that out of the way I think my first choice is probably going to be obvious to anyone who's been watching this channel for any amount of time, first contact, entertainment, these guys obviously behind firewall zero hour this channel, basically the foundation of this channel and before I go on any further I should say that I am a community moderator for first contact entertainment even though I don't do a tap, but I should just say that's just in case you know those bias or whatever went on but the whole reason I like first contact entertainment so much is because they made a fantastic game that I like so much firewall zero hour, by the way Solaris on the way spring 2021 I can't comment on the quality of that game yeah it looks fun but I can I've only watched it because it has been only on the PC viewer and Quest platforms as I'm sure you're all aware so that's something I gotta waste and see but what I do know is firewall excellent game and I do believe they would be you know a nice feather in the cap I should I should stop saying feather in the cap but you know we need feathers in Sony's cap they would be an excellent feather in the cap for Sony why do I think that well I think firewall has done something that very few virtual reality games have done and that is they've created this multiplayer game virtual reality only you know you can't play cross play with flat gamers or anything like that and what they've done is they've met a successful game you know I could matchmake right now game come out in 2018 you know we're pushing two and a half years and I can find a game within a relatively reasonable amount of time no it's not as quick as it was when it came out but it's compared to other games where you just will not find a game at all so for example rigs when I bought rigs which was my launch game I bought that when I got the ps viewer at launch in its prime supposedly I could never get a full 3v3 it was always me with two bots on my team versus two dudes with one boss that was never a fault no matter how many times I searched whether that was a matchmaking issue or whether that was just a tiny player base of rigs I'm not too sure what the reason was behind that but not an issue I've had with firewall now of course it helps that I have a squad of friends who have met just from streaming on this channel and it's pretty easy for me to gather a team together and then matchmaking against another squad but the point still stands firewall has been a success and I would say you know if you look at Sony first-party titles if you look at the the kind of content they're putting out in their games the likes of the last of us god of war whatever big thing that they all have a common they're these story driven single player games some of them are short some of them are long and like they're not all the same even though they got a lot of flak for being all the same but you know god of war is completely different to the last of us which is completely different to horizon zero dawn in my opinion but they've been severely lacking in the multiplayer department they've been relying on third-party releases to fill that gap and that's worked well for them college use he's always going to do well you know apex legends whatever the fad is now or whatever the hot thing is so what we need is a firewall to fill the gap you know a so-come for virtual reality which is what they can bring and literally they could bring that if they were to acquire first contact entertainment they could say okay here's the so-come ip or here's the siphon filter ip whatever ip they want or if they could keep continue on with firewall because they do own the firewall ip from what i understand and i think that will be an excellent addition uh for sony's first-party lineup and i think if ps viewer 2 is going to happen and if i hear okay ps viewer 2 is coming but what games you know and then i hear that's oh they've acquired first contact entertainment i'm going to be guaranteed an excellent game from them if it's anything like firewall anyway an improvement on firewall which is naturally what would happen better hardware more time more experience now of course that's not to say that first contact even want to be acquired or whatever but i'm just operating under the assumption that sony's coming along offering a blank check these studios are like okay here's the number take us you know take us away to japan or whatever so that's my first pick first contact entertainment my next pick is something maybe you wouldn't expect maybe it wasn't something i was expecting when i was thinking of these studios but the next one is rec room incorporated now first of all i didn't know they had changed their name to rec room incorporated they used to be against gravity but now they're their own thing rec room incorporated and i guess they're 100 behind rec room which is that free to play game that i mean i used to play us back in this channel even before firewall was the thing i was streaming rec room i was making stupid rec room videos that game very popular it has cross platform support free to play which is like a big reason for its success and you know it has since gone flat and has included ps4 xbox you know pc probably i don't know can you run on your phones now as well something like that it's like everywhere so why would rec room ink be a good fit for sony so the reason i believe that is you know again it kind of fits a niche that sony doesn't have really uh it's hard to define what rec room is in terms of the genre you know it's it's online online what though you know it's just kind of a social hub plus there's games there's a battle royale mode in there there's disc golf there's all kinds of and that's since the last time i played who knows what's there now because i haven't touched it in so long so it is hard to define what rec room is but it is a jack of all trades and it does online and does cross play and if sony were to buy you know rec room ink i would hope and i would expect that they would keep you know all the cross platform stuff there there's no need to cut off the player base it would only benefit sony for having more players playing that game in terms of you know the microtransactions coming in or whatever i believe you can buy tokens in that game if i am not mistaken so again if i want to buy a ps4 or two and i hear oh you know rec room ink are working on a new project and it's going to be you know not necessarily mmo but it's going to be fairly large scale multiplayer social type interaction i would be kind of excited for that i'd be pretty excited for that and even if it wasn't my cup of tea i think it would be a lot of people's cup of tea as evidenced by the amount of players playing that game even if it is child friendly the way that rec room is now bring in those roblox kids bring in those minecraft kids you know get in there get them into virtual reality get them a reason to game start them young and then you know this is how you move headsets you know that's my thinking honest anyway this video is going on way too long so let me move on to number three fast travel games so fast travel games if you've been to pay attention to fast travel games which i've been keeping my eye on them recently because i'm very much looking forward to rate the oblivion which is their upcoming horror game coming supposedly spring 2021 a lot of good games coming spring 2021 apparently so the thing about fast travel games is is that they already fit in very nicely with house only studios out right now you know single player games story focused they've recently moved into a new studio location because they're expanding they've been hiring people left and right now i think they're planning on pumping like really increasing the quantity of titles that they're pumping out the frequency of content and titles that they're putting out already in the past they've had some bangers apex construct pretty solid title which was an early one on ps viewer and the other platforms as well i believe yet the curious case of the stolen pets if i'm saying that title correctly i hope that was a shorter experience but you know it's something completely different single player still well received they really used virtual reality in a you know three took advantage of virtual reality in that game where it was like a diorama and you were twisting around stuff like that and then there's the upcoming wraith which i hope they nail you know a horror game in virtual reality i think is probably hard to mess up because virtual reality is just going to intensify the horror like by 100 just by default so i do have high hopes for wraith the oblivion and just another thing to note as well as that the wraith the oblivion in that game is part of a world of darkness franchise so you know i was wondering maybe they went that ruse going with an established ip instead of going with a new ip for that extra bit of security so if sony come along maybe sony can add that bit of security by purchasing them or requiring them not guaranteed of course look at gorilla cambridge look at that manchester studio not really that much more security but maybe what's an established studio with a proven track record you know sony might be more lenient there might be willing to give them more more leeway and i do think fast travel games is a studio that's going to become more and more well recognized as the years go on as these games start coming out so my fourth choice then is servius and the big reason why i'm thinking servius even though i do believe servius have never really hit greatness i think they've come close i think they're knocking at the door of greatness but they've never like released a game where i was like oh i need to have this right now they've released a lot of games or i was like oh i'd like to play this maybe when it goes on sale something like that but to their credits and their biggest pro i would say is just the the quantity of games the studio is able to pump house i don't know how i don't know how big the studio is but they've been pumping out so many games in such a short period of time you know this creed rise to glory battle wake recently the walk and dead onslaught just came out and then you know that was badly received at first but then almost immediately they had a huge balance patch that seemed to fix not necessarily fixed but you know improve the situation quite a good bit and they had the early one raw data they had you know westworld that kind of arcade experience thing i don't think i ever released on psv or anyway but they'd made some kind of westworld viewer experience there's another one sprint vector another one that a lot of people consider underraised but like an utterly unique virtual reality game servius pumped out i would say probably more games than virtual reality games in a small amount of time or a certain period of time than any other studio that i can think of it's kind of insane so if sony were able to bag them then you're talking about increasing the quantity of first party games considerably you know as long as sony wouldn't interfere too much with the development process if they let them have free ish rain you know and then maybe with sony's help with their expertise maybe a little collaborations with other studios or whatever maybe an acquisition like that could just give servius that little little push that they need to hit those heights that i think they've nearly hissed and that they're very close to hitting maybe sony could do that my final pick then is impulse gear they're kind of the opposite of servius and that they've released this one game great game i would say if not great then very very close to grace you know fair point but then they've gone completely dark until a couple of months ago was it december i can't remember exactly when uh but they said hey we're working on something it's virtual reality really is it keep your eyes peeled we'll say more in the future so they're working on something that's been finally being confirmed we all hope it's fair point to at least i do uh although it's still being trusted to see in uip what i really hope is that it is a on a playstation platform it's not going to be pc view or exclusive you know and of course the thing with impulse gear is and why i think they'd be such a good fit for sony is that these guys were the creators practically of the aim controller they wanted a proper gun controller for fair point they wanted to work with sony to make that happen so they built up this great relationship with each other uh which you would imagine they would have to to make hardware for their platform which has since been gone on to be used by so many the great games like firewall what firewall on behalf is fun if we were forced to use the dual shock i think the aim controller adds so much and we have impulse gear to thank for that so yeah you would imagine impulse gear have like a very intimate knowledge when it comes to playstation hardware psv or hardware and if need be could work on a new aim controller for psv or two you know let's get some haptics in there let's get them adaptive triggers in there let's get some crazy stuff get rid of the ball at the front we don't want light tracking anymore anyway that's that's a different story that's a different you know video altogether but the point is that i think impulse gear i would love to see them work on a fair point too greatly expanded fair point too but yeah those are my five studios that i think sony would do well to snatch up now obviously they're not gonna they're probably not going to snatch up any of these studios but even one or two of those would be you know excellent the other possibility to consider is and it's a very realistic possibility is that they will look at studios that they already have and they might assign them to do a virtual reality game they might make a team within that studio split split the studio up you know make a virtual reality studio within nausea dog for example i don't think they will do that to nausea dog they'd probably do it to a studio like sucker punch or something like that maybe that would make more sense for them maybe it would be more cost effective or whatever i'd definitely be interested to see what what would come of that you know i'd just be worried that it would be more of the you know gorilla cambridge story where if it's not a success straight away you're done no second chances so yeah those are my studios those are my reasons but i'd be very interested to hear your thoughts in the comments below whether i'm wrong or whether i'm like missing a very obvious choice that should definitely be a shoe in and i will admit that this is a very high possibility that i'm forgetting a studio completely for whatever reason so let me know what that in the comments below before i end this video let me thank my patreon supporters whose names are on the screen as i speak thanks to their generosity they're helping keep this channel nice
