The XBox's demise can be directly traced to the release of Kinect. Before that XBox was doing extremely well and competing or even surpassing Playstation. But they got greedy and wanted some of that Wii audience, thus we got the woeful Kinect which subsequenly saw the closure of many of Microsofts game development studios. Because who needs talented developers capable of making AAA titles when, any old talentless hack can churn out cheaply made Kinect games every few months, right?

No. Far from it. The content itself/ways of accessing/streaming is changing but nothing beats a big OLED set with surround sound system to view/hear stuff.

The problem with the Atari Jaguar wasn't the console itself, it was Atari themselves. They had lost a lot of market share to Sega and Nintendo and Bankruptcy was on the cards before they released it. It did not help that they spent much of its development on the Panther too. They just did not have the money to scout for developers let alone support them, leading to a lackluster game selection that weren't just remakes of the simplistic arcade games from 15 years before.

Great podcast and great to see the O dog back as well!

What on earth is an at-at

The amount of failed systems and peripherals Ive bought was insane. Saturn,Dreamcast,Minidisc,Kinect V1 and V2 Xbox HDDVD addon Basically if it's a two horse race and I'm looking at it and thinking it's cool,buy the other as that's probably the one that's going to succeed lol

I had an Atari Jaguar CD (bought in the 2010s) - my main issue is a lot of the games just weren't good. Some were, but a big chunk just weren't. Club Drive - I'm looking at you. Sadly I think it has to go on the Wall of Shame as Atari messed up the marketing, the manufacturing (the CD drive should never have been an add-on - it should have been there at the start) and poor games. The Kinect - probably also Shame, and HDDVD (due to format limitations) and the Saturn (due to delays and price). However the Pebble is Wall of Fame as it did nothing wrong, it was just a small device up against a giant.

Had listened on podcast but now watched and the deep fake would be easy to miss if you were not paying attention. But the fact that no movement of body or hair, mouth was out of sync. So many red flags. it proves the fact that you need to pay attention to these things and there will be so many parts that are wrong. Loving the episodes and watching you two working together again.

A TV is now just a propaganda device that you have to pay for

Great "emergency Podcast" Some great tech is incoming.

While full motion VR makes a certain amount of users 🤮, it won’t really catch on . loved my PSVR 1 for astrobot and other non motion games but the rest made me 🥴🤢🤮. Plus Apple VR is very very er very expensive

I cannot risk watching TV because I don't want my intelligence insulted with deeply bigoted, racist, homophobic sexist woke propaganda. Drag and celeb nonsense and all modern drama and comedy can get in the sea. All went wrong about 10 yeara ago.

I miss old school Gadget Show

Never

Oh my god. I haven't watched the gadget show since Jason hosted it on C4. He hasn't aged at all!!!

I dont understand why you didnt do a LG TV priced at £1700 vs a Hisense TV priced at £1700? This isnt a comparison at all. Its like Saying im going to compare £40k Audi vs £25K BMW, Its obvious what the difference is. Also a better test to make both brands unknown during the test. Eliminating Biased views. Poor test and comparison.

I remember when channel 5 came out with the gadget show, it was a brilliant breath of fresh air. Now instead of being restricted to watching it when I'm in the house, I can put on my nreal air glasses plugged into my phone, or listen to this as a podcast on the walk to work. There are easier ways to consume your favourite shows, but coming in and listening to those phat beats on the telly still warms my heart. I think I'm on the fence on this topic. For the record, I'm 42.

How fabulous to see you both back on screen - found you by accident, and then subscribed immediately! I can't wait for the next vid

South Park made an episode calling out the lack of basic repair skills these days. There's people who can't put together flat pack furniture, I don't know hey they get through life

i used to watching the gadget show even starting with the first one

From what I can tell from Comparison videos, it feels like Go Pro are now lagging in 3rd between the DJI Osmo Action 5and the Insta360 Ace 2, especially when it comes to low light. The Insta360 is miles ahead, when at decent light all three are pretty close with maybe the Osmo Action 5 or Go Pro Hero 13 the best. Hope Go Pro can improve their fortunes with the Hero 14. Right now though all three are great but GoPro seems like it is playing catchup.

just get good fans in the kichen and bathroom that run all the time .thy cost less to run than a dehumidifiers

Like Jason, I am a collector. Still got all of my original consoles from the 80s onwards and then adopted / bought a whole bunch more. I was mostly active in the collector scene between the late 2000-2010, and yeah I have walked past so many consoles and games that was just in abundance that they did not look like they would be worth anyone owning. Skip ahead today and they are going for hundreds of pounds.

Hiya Gang! I made games for the Saturn (Tomb Raider, Swag Man, Blam Machine Head) and really enjoyed playing them too, its blend of 2D and 3D capabilities was great for the time, it even had hardware playfields like the older 16-bit consoles. Its range of game titles was very strong and they were pretty arcade accurate.

But you still watch streaming and KZbin through a telly - the things thats changing is the concept of 'CONTENT' the scourge of entertainment.

Lg looks worst here lol

The k is just one aspect….resolution. For most, brightness, color accuracy etc…will matter more. Be curious to watch a 4k OLED vs an 8K QLED for example.

Xbox was DOA this gen

Should I sift the bread flour?

The jello effect always put me off the Go-Pro. Has that been sorted out?

Are movies dying? Why have a glitzy premier and hype it up in the media for a movie that's an hour and a half? Most people would prefer to watch a series that's 10 hours long and it's a better story

I can't believe HD, 2k, 4k, 8k are even being created. There is no content to watch. Most live TV is either standard or compressed HD. All uhd is behind ever increasing pay walls. Atmos is all pay extra. Even the standard definition is ultra compressed on free TV.

In a drawer somewhere is a dual screen Nintendo donkey kong hand held from circa 1982 which I think is the oldest tech I have.

I actually still own a 3d TV that I have a few 3d movies it's not my main tv

The future of TV. I distinctly remember Chris Evans when he was on Radio 2 (that's how long ago it was), saying that he had been somewhere, China/Japan etc, and had visited a tech company and had been shown a hologram that in his words, was so real it looked like it was in the room. Can't believe that after all these years that hasn't been developed into something and released onto the market.

The observations about short form video content is right. But, in order to actually learn something substantial, short form video content just doesn't cut it. So there's a disparity between short bite sized pieces of 'entertainment', and anything more detailed, that requires attention and focus. I've noticed recently a different trend amongst YT channels. Vloggers that routinely post content, usually 10-20 mins or so, whilst travelling through a particular country lets say, are, at the end of that series, editing together all of that series into one 2-3 hour long video, AND they are getting views, myself included. Time will tell what the long term effects are on the TikTok generation. I saw it recently in my nephew (13) and niece (10) face down, watching their smart phones constantly, watching nothing in particular, swipe, view, swipe, view, and learning absolutely nothing in the process. When I asked my niece if she watched anything specific, she was following over 300 channels, but of nothing in particular.

I'm 52. Was just talking to my Dad last month about cancelling my tv license. My tv (big 50" widescreen) broke years ago, and I haven't replaced it. I haven't watched tv in years, all of my viewing is Amazon Prime and KZbin.

I purchased an Alcatel for a friend and it was a huge mistake, The display was too small and display hard to view. The Doro is much better. brighter to display and easy to use.

With the exception of TV on the internet, such as the BBC, I have not watched TV at home in twelve years. I use my big flat screen as PC monitor.

Di parte

Thank you.

2:47 it's a two handed job... Jon walks away carrying it with one hand 😅😆 Both those things did really well, especially for cost of drying the clothes, compared to a noisy, power hungry tumble dryer that often starts to make clothes stink...

Streaming series or movies IS watching TV. The TV is what the picture & sound comes out of. Doesn't matter if the content is picked up via ariel, or through the internet.

Still got my Commodore 64 with its box from when I was 12. Now, to find all those games I've got, somewhere.

They really need to sort out the over heating issues. Loved the way the Hero 12 could lock the horizon though, excellent feature! :)

Pebble didn't just disappear, they sold themselves to Fitbit

I don't watch BBC/ITV/C4/C5, all junk and all have leftie non sense forced upon you. Amazon, KZbin and US shows are where I prefer spending my time thank you. TV is not dead, British TV is.

The rise in diagnosed ADHD and the introduction of Tik Tok… not a coincidence. Then when said guinea pigs move into real life then that’s when the anxiety and depression hits.

Still gaming on my Mega Drive, Saturn, PS1, SNES, Amiga and 3dfx PC 💪

I agree that a lot of people's attention span is shortening with the likes of tiktoc but I do think we are seeing a return to longer form content in some places. There's a hunger for podcasts like never before, most of which are an hour plus, some that I listen to even run up to 4 hours. Even here on KZbin I'm seeing more and more creators making feature length films / videos, maybe these will be their "specials" but the audience is there. It's obviously platform dependent. I do wonder if these longer formats is driven by the gen x and millennials, the middle generations if you will. Are the younger generations consuming this content? I honestly don't know but I doubt it.
