edition cover at your favorite local game store the book is also available in digital format on dnd beyond as well today we're going to go over what this book contains as well as our favorite features what we think changes the game and what we think missed the mark a little there's a lot to discuss so let's get rolling so cracking the book open this is a brand new expansion to dungeons and dragons 5th edition including a ton of new features for players and player characters as well as a section for dms there are four main chapters to the book the first chapter of the book covers a slew of player character options for every class in dungeons and dragons the second chapter covers the new system for group patrons the third chapter features magical miscellaneou including magic items and spells and the fourth chapter includes a dungeon masters toolbox as well as some new puzzles this is not an adventure this is a new rules supplement that you can use in any game of dungeons the dragon's fifth edition regardless of the adventure that you're running or the setting that you are using many of the contents of this book have appeared previously for play testing in unearthed arcana but have now been published in their final form in this book so let's get into it let's look at a broader view of what you're going to find if you pick up tasha's cauldron of everything the majority of this book is made up of the players section which kicks things off with a look at player origins this section of the book introduces new optional rules for character origins and race allowing you a lot of customization and nuance to the character creation process there's been a lot of talk about these new rules that allow you to change the ability score bonuses and proficiencies granted by your player character's race the main idea here is acknowledging the truth that the player characters are the protagonists in a fantasy story and just as often as protagonists lean into and are defined by fantasy archetypes just as often player characters and protagonists buck those trends and define a new path and are the exception to the rule rather than following the norms this does allow you to do things like give your halfling a plus two bonus to its strength score or give your orc a bonus to its intelligence score allowing you to really fully visualize what you have in mind for your character's concept really unshackling the rules of player character race and the options that those present the section also presents rules for a completely customized origin a set of variant rules that might unseat the variant human supremacy as a great default for any dungeons and dragons character with additional rules to customize what languages and skill proficiencies you have this broadens their horizons on both character optimization and role-playing aspects of dungeons and dragons beyond these new options for player character races there is a lot for player character classes as well the artificer class originally introduced in eberron rising from the last war has been reprinted in this book in full it is pretty much the same as the way it was printed in the eberron books i have to go through it with a fine-tooth comb to make absolutely certain of that it's reprinted the original three subclasses that were introduced with the artificer and there's one new one as well the armorer aside from the artificer every class in dungeons and dragons receives new subclasses as well with the cleric and the druid receiving three where everybody else receives two still this is a large selection of new options for player characters a handful of these subclasses have been reprinted from other books such as the mythic goddesses of pharaohs and the guildmaster's guide to rabnika books as well as the sword coast adventurer's guide we see the blade singer wizard the oath of glory paladin the eloquence bard the spores druid as well as the order domain cleric reappear in this book combined with the artificer it means that all those player character options which were scattered across four or five different books are now all together in one place so you don't need to buy all those books to get all the juicy new sub classes and new options for your characters the book also includes a lot of extra options for fighting styles battlemaster maneuvers sorcerer metamagics and eldritch invocations as well in addition each class is presented with a small smattering of new class features these are class features that either augment an existing class feature basically being a straight upgrade for anyone playing that class or allows you a new way to retrain class features already granted such as giving you the ability to swap out your cantrip choices as you level up your character finally some of these new class features particularly the ones for the ranger require you to swap out an existing class feature and take this one instead in particular in the case of the ranger there are new options that replace the base options given to the beastmaster ranger and i think it might constitute a very significant upgrade for the ranger it's kind of their way of sneaking in the revised ranger without actually revising the ranger the book also includes 15 brand new feats for you to select as well as 21 new spells however keep in mind that four of those are cantrips that are reprinted from other source books the feats are not locked in with many prerequisites at all in fact most of the feats have no prerequisites and can be taken by any character and many of them in fact also include a plus one ability score boost to one of several different ability scores most of the spells in this book that aren't reprints are summoning spells but there's a few new gems and in addition every class that cast spells has had wizard of the coast go back in and add existing spells that are already in the player's handbook or xanathar's guide to everything to those classes for instance bards now get aid prismatic spray and prismatic wall uh sorcerers get flaming sphere now and a few other classes have had a smattering of spells that it just makes sense for them to actually have these spells they never got them in the original court rules so it's a nice little upgrade for those characters it also introduces 47 new magic items six of which are artifacts and 11 of which are a new magical tattoo most notably of these magic items there are several that allow spell casters to improve their spell casting abilities most of the magic items in this book are wondrous items targeted at spell casters there's only two new magic weapons there's no magic armor no wands no staffs it's almost all wondrous items aside from two new magic weapons so that does it for the new player options if we move on to the dm side of things we kick things off with a look at group patrons which was something that was introduced in the eberron book but is now made setting neutral in this one yeah there's a few new additions to this but it's largely the same system that was presented in the eberron books just again here is a cool thing that you can use in your campaigns lastly we come to the section which is a tool kit for dungeon masters more or less this section is the expansion on the dungeon masters guide which kicks things off with a much needed look at how to run a session zero well i'm really glad to finally see the concept of session zero printed in an official dungeons and dragons book i gotta confess i think our video is still better also if you grab the essentials kit you might be familiar with the sidekick rules that were introduced there they are expanded upon slightly in this book as well furthermore there's a really cool section on supernatural regions magical phenomena and using spells to replicate a natural hazard i really love the creativity of the section and this is actually a set of rules that i've kind of been using myself in my own campaigns anyways and finally the book ends things off with a section on puzzles for you to use in your game that's a lot of great stuff overall but i have to ask the key question what is the standout stuff for you in this book kelly for me going into this book the thing that i was most excited about and that i actually think paid off more than i anticipated was the first section on character origins going into this book there had been a lot of controversial back and forth about floating ability scores and so i expected to see a section that says you have floating ability scores and that was going to be the end of it but the way that they presented it in this book the various options that they give and the reasons for giving them i think are really strong and not only implement a new way for people to approach creating a character in dungeons and dragons but actually expand on two pillars that aren't necessarily mutually exclusive if we look at character optimization and role playing these are the two things that fuel my love for the game i love creating a character who is defined and will perform well at the table but also has strong role-playing potential and with the origin section i just feel like that is blown wide open and has so many cool tools to really build the fantastical character that you have imagined i completely agree i love these rules they touch on rules that i've used as house rules in our own campaigns before at the end of the day these are rules to be used for player characters they are not rewriting the conception of classic fantasy races and archetypes they are meant to embrace the idea that player characters are the protagonists in a story and that protagonists and stories as often as they embody and define archetypes they often are the ones who buck the trend and are something completely original these rules make character creation even more nuanced and inclusive they present more options in a game where we are always asking for more options it's not a bad thing at all and speaking of more options the new options for changing out your class features in small ways is something that i would love to see wizards of the coast go even further with my only criticism of it is that there's not enough of it i would love to see more alternative class features i would love to see new takes on existing subclasses i think that what they did with the beastmaster ranger is something that they should go back and do with a bunch of the sorcerer subclasses as well i really love it i love the potential of it i think it is a standout notion the amount of new character customization presented in tasha's is game changing it breathes new life into new characters and with such a small and subtle change it makes character concepts that required house rules so much more possible than ever before and moving along that line one of my other favorite things that i'm sure most people are very excited about in this book is the new subclass options there are some standout examples i know that both of us have a few favorites i'm excited to play an armorer artificer and i'm also pretty excited to play a wildfire druid these might not be the strongest subclasses presented but they are really fun and spoke to me and got me excited to create new characters i am super excited about some of the strong subclasses in this book though the twilight domain cleric looks amazing and its channel divinity power is absolutely incredible and the aberrant mind and clockwork soul sorcerer in introducing an expanded selection of spells in basically giving sorcerers of those subclasses 10 new spells known doubling the number of spells that sorcerers of these subclasses know really brings a much needed booster shot to the power of the sorcerer i love what they've done with these subclasses and honestly i think that we need to go back on the previous sorcerer subclasses and give them expanded spell lists because the these subclasses have opened the doors off that it's amazing it's great i love it you should also do it with the old sorcerer's subclasses another standout in this book for me are the new feats there are some great options here including ones that allow you to take sorcerer metamagics or eldritch invocations as well as great options for weapon combat that include upgrading your abilities with piercing slashing or bludgeoning weapons depending on the type of character you're building i think these are great and really are useful feats that a lot of people will find value in i think a lot of people as well are going to be excited by the new spells in the book particularly the new summoning spells i have to say these new summoning spells there's nine of them it could have been one spell just phrased in a lot of different ways they're basically all the same they just summon different creature types these are summoning spells that are going to deliver on the fantasy of playing a combat summoner without causing headaches for your dungeon master or game breaking problems they're very well balanced summoning spells they're excellent really glad to have them in the game there's a couple spells that are duds there's a couple spells that are reprints and there's a couple new gems i really like mine sliver and tasha's mind whip so i'm overall happy with the spell section as well and when it comes to magic the magical phenomena and the new magic items are absolute gems love them there's a lot to digest in these sections they're very expansive but i think that they're going to bring a lot to many people's games and are well worth a very deep read cozying up with a coffee or tea and going through them you'll get inspired for your games by reading the new magic items and spells i think so now having waxed rhapsodically about some of the new stuff in the book it is not without its flaws let's talk about the things that we didn't necessarily love about this book and i'll kick things off by saying that one of my big criticisms about this book is that a large majority i'm going to say two-thirds of this book could either be summed up by saying that it is reprinted material could have been covered in an errata or a article on dnd beyond could have covered most of this book now there's still the things that stand out in this book that are extremely amazing but a lot of it is reprinted material or things that we've already seen before that our whole cloth just brought over to this book now i could see the benefit here if you didn't grab the ravnica book or the eberron book or some of those other books then yes this is your one-stop shop but if you're an avid book collector who grabs the books as they come out you're getting a large chunk of material that you already have in your other source books and there's a few elements of this book that are threadbare and feel like filler there's this section in this book on battle master builds i think it's good advice i just don't think it should have been in this book there's a section on this book about parlaying with monsters great advice it is threadbare and it's not enough to fully explain that system the guidelines for running a session zero are too late the knowledge on how to run a session zero is well out there and there's one place where the not where the information on how to run a session zero needs to be at the front of the dungeon masters guide dungeon masters and players that need to read advice on how to run a session zero aren't gonna find it in the right place all that there's gold yeah but there's a lot of filler in this book and if you've been following unearthed arcana and you've been collecting all the books there's no surprises here in this book i mean there's a few things that have changed since there are not arcana which might surprise you but you're not going to see anything in this book that hasn't been previewed or spoiled in some way shape or form already for example there's no reason for us to reprint the entire spore druid in here just to say that you changed a damage type that could have been a message delivered to us through an erretta that just has one sentence rather than an entire page of the book dedicated to showing us an already existing subclass just to say we tweaked one thing and there's a lot of that in this book i will say though that bringing it all together into one book that isn't setting specific does consolidate it makes it easier to buy also there's a big reason because adventurers league has the rule that you can only use material from the player's handbook and one other book so by bringing this all together and making it not setting specific it also means that all that stuff that was introduced in eberron and in the other magic the gathering books is now available possibly for adventurers league play so i think that that's part of the reason why they brought it all together in one place even still i would have liked to have seen even more new things yeah if we if we had had more new things and less reprints that would have made me happier but also that's coming from me an avid collector who has every dnd book that's come out for fifth edition if you're not that person there's a lot more value the value goes up the less dnd books you own if you're sitting there with the dungeon masters guide and the player's handbook and this is the third book you're grabbing good job you have most of what you need to play pretty much everything presented in d5e i think pretty much unequivocally we can say that as of 2020 as of the reason this book there's two other books that you should buy after the core rule books this one and xanathar's guide to everything yeah i do want to say there's some ugly stuff in this book one section in particular that we aren't very fond of yeah and that is the puzzle section the puzzles section in this book is an abject failure at presenting how to run puzzles in dungeons and dragons fifth edition kelly and i cracked some of these open and i tried running some of these puzzles for kelly in a simulated way and the way these puzzles are presented does not adequately manage the flow of information necessary for a player to solve them many of the puzzles should have handouts which don't many of the puzzles that do have handouts have handouts that are not that useful if your group loves puzzles and is good at solving puzzles and you as a dungeon master know how to present puzzles to your group you will find some fantastic information in these but if you're grabbing this book 30 minutes before the game session because you wanted to put a puzzle into your game this is going to be a time bomb that explodes in your face the hardest part was as monty presented me with the puzzles in almost every case i needed additional information the puzzles didn't present me with what my actual goal was within the puzzle itself it showed me the puzzle presented before me and said now solve it and i said what am i doing the example that i'd like to use is there's a puzzle involving paintings and i wasn't sure if i was supposed to burn the paintings look behind the paintings uh find magical secrets within the paintings there wasn't really a clear path that i was supposed to take i almost grasped what i was trying to accomplish within the puzzle but without more information and without the dm doing a bit of work in the setting to say there's this over here there's this over here here's the puzzle that's presented and here's what you need to accomplish to solve it i think most players would be lost now mind you i'm not necessarily the best at solving puzzles as we've seen in our live stream but i still think that even as a dm if i was running these puzzles there are tweaks and additional information that i would need to put in front of the players in order to make most of these puzzles make sense of the table despite the flaws the puzzle section and the large amount of reprints and reworkings that are presented in this book the real question is is this book worth it what do you think unequivocally yes especially if you don't have all the other books that have had content pride from them to reprint in here this book is a must buy for anyone getting into dnd in 2020 or 2021 if you have just bought the essentials kit lost mine to fend over and are looking at buying the core rulebooks and something else the question is this or xanathar's guide to everything tough sell i right now they're even in my mind they are the two most essential non-core books that you would get i do think that it's worth it even if you're an avid book collector of d5e and even if you've been following unearthed arcana which basically means that 90 of this book is going to be things that you already know are in here even then i still think it's worth it because it is going to be the official delivery of a lot of those concepts and i think it's well written for the most part in most sections and presented in a really clever way that takes what a lot of people were already doing at their dnd 5e tables in homebrew and rules adjustments and just gives you a set of guidelines to implement them into your game i think it's an incredibly valuable book and it's either tied or better than xanathar's guide to everything for me however that i might be saying that because it's my new shiny book and i've had xanathar's for a while yep but they're both really essential i don't think that this book is better than xanathar's guide to everything i think at best it's a draw and so your choice is is really a coin toss of which one you get first i'm tempted to say if you have to choose between the two get xanathars first if only because xanathar's adds a lot more spells and this has a bit of more of less spells more subclass features and everything else like that if you can get both get both if you already have xanathar's why don't you already have this book go get this book the links are in the description below order it on amazon or at your favorite local game store on d d beyond it's totally worth it get it yes it has flaws yes it has filler it's still a great book don't run the puzzles see you next time i also just want to say tasha's cauldron is really cool cassius cauldron of everything less cool i wish it had been tasha's cauldron of something a word that isn't everything tasha's cauldron of customization tasha's cauldron of concoctions tasha's cauldron of curious concoctions tasha's cauldron of magic tasha's cauldron of magic would have been a better title like if for the unoriginal tasha's cauldron of magic would have just been a better title tasha's cauldron of creativity xenothon's guide to everything was funny because the character xanathar embodied that tasha is a master archwizard who bound gratz she's better than everything she's awesome so this has been our look at our first impressions of tasha's cauldron of everything over the next few weeks we are going to be releasing a number of videos going into more detail on the different sections and options presented in

[Music] hey guys this is Eckhart slaughter welcome to another video so as I think a lot of you guys know if you follow me on Twitter or have watched my videos I've really been enjoying the mandalorian I get excited for every episode unlike basically anything else in Star Wars I've even been staying up to watch them and they air at four o'clock in the morning my time with that being said I figured that I might as well make videos on the content that I'm enjoying so much so every week in the three or so days after the Mandalorian comes out at least by Monday I'd guess I'm going to do some sort of reaction lore video breakdown whatever on the week's episode also although it won't be the main focus of the video at the end I will also do a quick review because that's something a lot of you guys have been asking for now it might not necessarily be in the title of the videos so if you're wondering what I thought just look for that week's Mandalorian content now I'm actually incredibly excited to announce that this entire series moving forward until the end of the season at least is being sponsored by V Roman a company which I've worked with in the past and which I personally really really love so much so that if you go to my Twitter you see the hashtag blessed noodle merchant in my bio so I love Veet ramen most of all because it's well delicious even if they weren't paying me to do these promos which they are I would probably do them anyway because of the free boxes of ramen I get so right off the bat I'll be real with you guys Veet ramen is more expensive than your average to $0.99 noodle for one it's made in the United States but it's also sixty percent larger than the standard packaged ramen and in my experience it's definitely a meal in and of itself still of eat ramen is definitely cheaper than takeout and obviously healthier another thing is that Veet ramen treats its employees really well which to me is extremely important they offer a living wage lots of mental health days and paid time off and you can find information about all of that including the nutrition the fifty percent less sodium they have compared to other brands and their flavors on the website which link down below also if you use the link in the code Eckhart's letter you'll get 15% off of your order now there are different flavors you can go for a variety pack if you want and I would personally recommend that but if you just want one flavor the garlic pork is really delicious anyway very much thank you to vite Robin for sponsoring this series so let's talk about the Mandalorian and let's talk about world-building in my first review I talked a lot about the fact that the Mandalorian really captures the essence of what makes me fall in love with Star Wars and especially the world-building of a new hope it's a lived-in it's a gritty it's an eccentric and a fun universe but there's also been a new element to the world-building that I've started to like and we saw bits of this with the trailers even for the Mandalorian but episode 3 touches on something and threatens to actually if not fix significantly improve one of the sequel trilogies biggest issues the total collapse and fall of the Empire so in a recent video especially I've talked about how the Empire totally crumbling after Jack who really makes no sense I compared and contrasted with Star Wars legends in the old EU the Empire declined so significantly that they were essentially a minor power in the galaxy at least for a while however this did take some time and was largely explained by a series of major losses including operation shadow hand and most importantly imperial fracturing and factionalism the idea was that imperial warlords despite still using assets of the empire and perhaps quoting some greater allegiance to the empire generally served themselves and were often against other imperial factions later the Empire would unify into a remnant and that would carry the flag forward throughout history canon hasn't quite been the same although technically some warlords have been mentioned the idea of an imperial remnant or Imperial remnants has been given mostly just lip service if that even and what's more it seems like most of these remnants really fell out of existence after the battle of jakku so the fall of the empire happens almost completely within one year some of this can be explained by the exodus into the unknown regions and the founding of the first order but still it's a major issue with world building that I think the Mandalorian is taking some steps towards fixing what the Mandalorian really shows us in what I hope it continues to show us is that although the Empire has fallen as the dominant galactic power the New Republic is not all reaching it exists yes in the core we get a quote about that directly in Episode three but there is not only a major power vacuum remaining in the galaxy but still Imperial factions of course some did leave to the Unknown Regions or were killed in jaku but the Empire still has a major presence within parts of the galaxy major may be overstating things but I think we'll come to see that although the Empire seems a little shabby they still have ships they still have stormtroopers they still have forces from this point on I'm gonna move forward with spoilers by the way so if you haven't seen episode 3 maybe stop but I think we'll see the weight of the Empire come against the Mandalorian as he tries to escape and run off with the baby Yoda creature the problem really started with the aftermath series and I know I'm rambling a bit but it wasn't made any better by books like bloodline which seemed to suggest a relatively conflict-free three decades or so before the sequel trilogy I think the Mandalorian has the opportunity to show that although there might not have been something like the thron campaign I just think that's too much action to not have gotten some mention yet the Empire did not just disappear this show has the unique opportunity to show how the remaining imperial factions struggled with the fact that all of their resources are somehow missing that all of these ships these people these assets which should still be around just somehow aren't however while that's happening I also want to see the Imperial remnant faction or perhaps factions struggling for power I want to see them trying to assert their dominance in the Outer Rim and the power vacuum which the New Republic currently seems incapable of closing so yeah the Empire is gone as a government and as a major power it's gone but as we hear specifically there are still warlords around although they don't rule there is power and I hope we learn throughout this series that maybe there's even more than we've been led to believe so far the Mandalorian is always going to be small-scale this is a very very small part of the Outer Rim which itself is kind of like the backwater of the galaxy so will we get a lot of information about the state of the Empire across the galaxy probably not but what we might see is that even in this sort of confined space the Empire still has a presence we know that later on we're getting moth Gideon and we see from the trailers that he has even his own death troopers and his stormtroopers also look a little less crappy so in a way that the Mandalorian itself is sort of giving an insight into the Star Wars universe on a personal level like a new hope did my hope is that it gives a similar insight to galactic politics and it helps to fix one of the major plot points which has bothered me about the sequel trilogy but that's all I have to say about that before I leave though as promised I do want to give a brief review of episode 3 as you guys know I really really loved episode 1 & 2 - especially hooked me for a reason I can't even really explain and I've gone back and forth on where I'd place three although the first time I watched it I really liked it I probably would have put it as my least favorite of the three episodes but after subsequent viewings it's rose in my rankings and returned so I really don't know one thing that I really really liked especially given that this is a pretty limited series is that didn't make us wait for the Mandalorian to rescue baby Yoda it was fairly obvious that eventually he was going to go back for him and I was very thankful when he turned off his engines on a ship and just went back there was a bit of an issue with pacing I don't know whether it was because there was a different director or what but I felt like this episode could have been about 10 minutes longer perhaps because it was missing a bit of the atmosphere of the first episode especially I also thought the performances from the actors wasn't quite as good the lines were cheesy but with Star Wars that doesn't really bother me at the end - I thought the music mixing was a little too quiet the scene with the Mandalorians was great but it could have been even more epic if the music had been louder just a little thing in editing all in all though I still thought it was absolutely great I think it's cool how they've grounded this series that feels like the original trilogy but are bringing in prequel assets we have of course the battle droids and it looks like they're trying to clone baby Yoda we know that the doctor has a Kamino cloning symbol on his arm and it seems like he was taking a sample so it's sort of integrating the OT and the PT in a way that I don't think has ever really been done which is awesome I really really hope we get more of that I think it'd be very cool to visit Kamino or other prequel era planets I think it's very very likely that the Mandalorian is saved by a Jedi when he's being attacked by that super battle droid a lot of people have said that it should be Yoda who saves him but I disagree like a thousand percent I think that would be one pretty nonsensical Yoda was out on the battlefield sometimes but not that often and I think he should see himself in the baby Yoda I don't think he should see a version of his Savior I think the whole point is he went back for baby Oda because he recognized his vulnerability he recognized that he was an innocent child I think he needs to be introduced to a hero that he couldn't relate to and that he can perhaps model himself after if only a little bit he's never going to be 100% clean-cut Jedi but I think the Mandalorian eventually is going to be more of a protagonist and a good protagonist than anything else it would be awesome and I said this before the show even premiered if they could get you and McGregor and Hayden Christensen to take up their roles just for a brief scene don't mention them my name but just have one of them be the Jedi that saves the Mandalorian probably even because we're getting the Kenobi series on Disney Plus anyway and it would be a very cool tie-in obviously the two have aged but not past the point even close wear makeup couldn't make them look believably as they were during the Clone Wars all in all though a really great episode just talking about it makes me even more excited for it I hope we do get some longer ones the sort of snappier lengths worked really really well with one and two but I did feel it a bit in number three and I think for some really really interesting plot progression we're just going to need more time because we're three episodes done out of eight of course this is only season one of season two but still final things dimension is that of course I really liked the atmosphere in the action scenes I'm still iffy on the bits in the Mandalorian compound but you know I don't mind them certainly I wasn't a huge fan of that whistling Birds thing just because they had introduced it like ten minutes ago and I thought the flying Mandalorian at the end was a little bit goofy but as you guys can tell I am nitpicking I am so so excited for episode 4 I'm sure I'll be staying up late to watch it like I did last time and I hope you guys are interested in what I have to say because again this is the beginning of a weekly series that I will be doing until the end of season 1 and hopefully after I'm not sure if every video will be as rambly as this one I did this totally without a script some might be scripted let me know what you think down in the comments anyway guys that's all I have to say for today until next time have a great day and may the force be with you


hey friends welcome back to your special weekend edition of hot news your saturday version if you will today's existential question of the day before we get into the hot news is is cereal a soup let me know we'll leave a poll right up there cereal soup yes or no we're gonna jump on into a quick little bit of articles after I tell you about today's video sponsor our merch LTT store calm I mean wait you can't get this on the LTTE store calm it's a 10 million special it's mine you can't have it but we do have new merch or you can check out all eyes the store links for both will be in the video description check them out we have fresh merch he also has fresh merch buy stuff increase the economy speaking of increases let's jump on into the bit of news which today's episode is about which is Amy's GPU share got a lot bigger in the q4 of 2019 John petty research coming out sharing with the fact that AMD increased a lot in q4 of 2019 and thereby increasing their total market share to be over in videos in q4 simply comparing q3 to q1 of 22% by themselves whereas Nvidia decreased by 2% but overall Intel holds the highest market share with 63% where as aim DS at 19% in Nvidia is at 18% now obviously since Nvidia is included in this this is talking about both integrated and discrete graphics cards and if we take a look at the market share of discrete to discrete Nvidia is still holding that out with 73% of the market share an AMD only has twenty seven percent however one of the things that I would like to know is that while aim D does have some integrated solutions coming out in the form of their Rison 3008 hughes and their athletes I would hypothesize that a lot of that likely happened in q3 of 2019 because those were available when Rison 3000 launched that was partially that happened in July which was the beginning of q3 so it does stand to reason that a lot of the sales probably did indeed come from discrete graphics cards with ami increasing however now their total AMD GPU market share is over in videos it's still not getting anywhere name and tell however that might change as amy rolls out new laptops because one of the things Intel has a stranglehold on is the integrated laptop GPU setup cuz they are basically in nearly every laptop so if AMD can get a kind of the pie with those new rise in 4000 ap use that are gonna be going into laptops they could potentially shrink Intel's lead down even more but a couple more key things coming out of the John petit research indicating that the overall attachment rate of GPUs was up 1.8% from q3 discrete graphics were in 32 percent of PCs which is down 0.2 percent the overall PC market increased roughly two percent from q3 and was up 3.5 percent from the previous year and that desktop adding boards that used discrete graphics increased 12 percent from the previous year so there's a lot of increases going on in the PC market and does seem like GPUs are increasing in people species discrete GPUs and one would say that with a DS launch of the RX 5700 series they did have some good GPUs they're in a solid price segment against Nvidia the RX 5700 xt going toe-to-toe price-wise with the 2060 super which it handedly beats so it made sense in that $400 price point to pick up AMD which is actually one of the most popular price points that we can see according to just our general musings of the market boy do you think of this news let me know down below but then also just a little bit more AMD news they gave a presentation and I EEE I SSC see what they talked about how their uses of triplets and CPUs leads to massive cost savings with them showing that a third generation verizon processor with 16 cores is roughly half the price of that it would be if it was on 7 nanometers but a monolithic die and that based on the scaling of cores you're actually not going to be scaling up your price as much whereas typically with the monolithic die because if one goes bad you have to throw out the bunch you're not able to make them as cost-effectively but with chip 'lets if you have an 8 core chip let go bad then you just throw that out and use a different 8 core chip lit so it allows them to compete more effectively with Intel and price them out of the market effectively 750 dollars for a 16 core from the 3950 X is quite a good deal and a lot of that seems to be the fact that AMD is working on chip 'lets as opposed to trying to do it on block so there's that aim D saying that they're saving money which is good save money friends and but said spend it on us in our merch and LTTE store calm do that check it out at the link in the video description hit the like button if you enjoyed this quick little episode of hot news today let me know what you thought of it down below in the comments and don't forget to answer the existential question of the day is serial soup I've heard the argument that soup is hot but if you've cold soup down in the fridge if you called it cold if you called soup down in the fridge it's still soup isn't it so cereal is cold soup with milk huh you're gonna milk as a base in soup that's how you get like broccoli cheese soup with a very milky base anyways you let me know what you think I want to know cereal soup yes or no [Music] [Music] video sponsor are merged Chris it pulled my


sometimes we're playing a video game when we find something that uh um what was i talking about again this is why today we're diving into five more removed easter eggs that were never meant to be found brought to you by manscaped get 20 off and free shipping with the code odd header at manskate.com and keep an eye out october 2nd for the odd header plush on makeshift.com horizon zero dawn thanks to avgodro for submitting this mystery through oddheader.com i've mentioned before how horizon zero dawn is one of my favorite games and when sony brought the ones ps4 exclusive to pc last month i was excited to think that some of the game's mysteries would finally be solved given pc games are usually easier to hack than console exclusives however instead of contributing to an existing mystery avagadro submitted a new discovery to me that's stranger than most anything i've seen in the game so far as avgandro happened to be in one of the cryptic abandoned underground facilities near the end of the game when he noticed one of the climbable handholds in the game could be seen on a ledge in the far-off distance avgadro used this stalagmite to get on top of some ancient machinery and made his way over to the handhold they've pulled ailoy up onto the ledge using the mount and found something odd on the other side of the machinery that he didn't expect to find as he found what appeared to be the carcass of an enormous body larger than any other body that can be found in the game additionally despite the fact this facility was abandoned for over a thousand years for some reason in the giant's hand was a completely pristine box of kleenex that doesn't appear anywhere else in the game more suspiciously shortly after abegaidro found this a patch was released that updated the game and ape then noticed the climbable mount to the ledge was completely removed meaning access to where the kleenex wielding giant laid was no longer accessible using the game's built-in camera a was able to get a good look beyond the ledge and see that the body was no longer there instead there was only a new layer of stone and stalagmite in its place instead at first i was at a complete loss why this would have been taken out of the game until i took a closer look at the original scene and it began to make sense why he was up here all alone where nobody could see him as i noticed not only is there a box of tissue in his hand but if we look at the intense grip of the other hand in its awkward position let's just say it seems rather obvious he wanted to spend his final moments alone doing what he loved best which apparently was himself a lot while it's still unconfirmed why this was removed considering the fact that all these assets were patched out of the game and access to the area was completely cut off it definitely seems like someone out there didn't appreciate finding a hidden detail like this made it into the game presumably because it's exactly how it looks apparently all the big guy wanted to do was get one in before the apocalypse did him in for good unfortunately it looks like the apocalypse finished him before he could do so himself at least we can say he held on till the very end luigi's mansion dark moon thanks to marshall howard for submitting this mystery through oddheader.com during the mission a timely entrance egad sends luigi to the old clockworks casually explained with nothing particularly interesting to note that years of neglect have made a favorite haunt for ghosts strangely however retrieved footage of an unfinished version of luigi's mansion dark moon that was displayed at special events such as comic-con egad instead originally described the old clockworks as closing down due to a series of horrific accidents furthermore once inside the old clock works the player comes upon a series of mechanical clock gears which you can see from this only existing footage of the unfinished version that's out there there is originally a lab coat caught in the gears that can't be found in the final game in addition to this in the corner of the screen was once an unidentifiable red object that's caught in the gears and appear to be dripping some sort of red liquid while some say they're sparks those are clearly droplets no object in the final game had a dripping or possible sparking animation like that anywhere in the game and the footage unfortunately just isn't clear enough to make any kind of shirt distinction unfortunately it doesn't look like we're ever going to be able to know what it was for sure as it seems the original team removed what appeared to be a clear suggestion of someone getting jammed in the machinery and dying as the lab coat in the gears the horrific accident line and the object stuck in the ceiling were all nowhere to be found in the final game meaning nintendo truly never wants anybody finding out what really happened in the old clockworks tower call of duty infinite warfare huge letters on reddit was hacking a game of zombies and zombies in spaceland when he randomly found that by hacking the game to exactly 6000 the zombies on the map for some reason would randomly be wearing astronaut helmets on their heads bear in mind it was calculated would take nearly 90 years of playing zombies normally to get to round 6000 in addition huge letters noticed there were a number of seemingly unfinished elements to the discovery such as the fact that if he killed any of the zombies with a trap their helmets would get caught in the air leading him to believe that the falling animations for the helmets were never properly implemented which seemed to strongly suggest he stumbled upon an unfinished easter egg that was never meant to be found it's since been theorized to space helmets where larger easter egg players would have been realistically able to achieve in the actual map and that the developers decided at the last minute the easiest way to remove it was to simply move it to a round so high no player would ever be able to legitimately reach and see that they expected us to somehow make it to round six thousand i made it to round four huge thanks to youtuber and my good friend slippy slice for hacking the game and making this footage possible as we just wouldn't have been able to see this without him hacking the game check out the latest video i did on slippy's channel in the link down below sonic adventure in sonic adventure and station square players come across casinopolis where inside they encounter a number of bright neon lights lottery machines and the regular assortment of details you come to expect in a normal casino locale one of these details was this rather inconspicuous display that simply said casino operas that doesn't serve any function to the game conversely in japan however in the game's original release date the display was actually originally a neon cowgirl drinking wine and as if that wasn't enough if you ran into the cowgirl while playing as knuckles you would hear that rather sexual sounding mode assumedly that easter egg just didn't fly overseas as the entire cowgirl asset was completely censored from the us release well at least they can be fortunate that it was just a neon sign that they had to remove as hackers going through an early demo the game were able to find that the neon cowgirl was originally planned to be a giant 3d modeled woman laying on the floor in a sexy bunny girl outfit i can only imagine whatever would have happened in this part of casinopolis would have stayed in casinopolis by any chance did this guy work on the game watchdogs in 2016 epic stream man posted to the watchdogs reddit that he and another redditer infiniium1 were at e3 talking to some developers about the then upcoming watchdogs too when one of the developers mentioned there was still an unfound easter egg in the original watchdogs according to the developers there at e3 they had snuck in a loch ness monster easter egg in their additional work on the game where the creature would pop out of the pawnee lake if the player weighed in a certain spot at a certain time of day players tried all sorts of conditions and even found a way to glitch under the lake but the loch ness wasn't anywhere to be found until david 3o watchdog's product manager revealed that the easter egg didn't make it into the final game crushing the watch dogs community as they never got to see what the loch ness monster easter egg would have actually looked like that is until today as galaxy on the odd header discord joined the community to reveal that he somehow managed to trigger the loch ness monster easter egg in an older development build of the game that he managed to obtain i asked him if he could get his footage and now for the first time in seven years since the game's release we can finally see what the cut loch ness monster easter egg actually looks like and uh yeah unfortunately he looks a little rough as the easter egg was still clearly unfinished at this point regardless is the only remaining evidence of the easter egg's existence that we know of and it's awesome to get a look at a deleted easter egg that was once thought would never see the light of day even if it's in a form as unfinished as this galaxy also pointed out the only reason he knew the egg was because he managed to catch a glimpse of the loch ness popping his head above the water while playing his early build of the game but when he went to recapture footage to be used for this video he couldn't figure out how to trigger it above the water again despite changing the time of day settings in the debug menu and attempting a number of different things so how exactly this easter egg was supposed to be triggered still remains unsolved and unfortunately is going to remain unsolved until he figures it out as again he possesses a special development build of the game so unless he manages to figure it out for us this ugly blob of untextured polygon is pretty much what we're stuck with and speaking of removed easter eggs that were never meant to be found another thing never meant to be found that you probably want removed around your own easter eggs would be a disheveled mess of body hair keep yourself looking clean at the lawnmower 3.0 i was actually an owner of the original lawnmower and was already impressed with just how well it works in the shower which is why i was really looking forward to checking out the lawnmower 3.0 what they say is the most advanced trimmer for below the shoulders

this video is sponsored by Nord PPN protect yourself online today by visiting Nord VPN comm forward slash totally not mark for a special offer in the summer of 2015 after an 18 year long hiatus Dragonball returned to television running for 131 episodes finishing in the spring of 2018 later that same year Dragon Ball super bro Lee became the highest-grossing Dragon Ball film in history during that same time period Dragon Ball became as popular as ever entertaining old fans and attracting new ones so a few weeks back I decided to ask on my Twitter if given the choice between Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball super which series did you prefer with over 2,000 votes cast these were the results with the overwhelming majority voted for Dragon Ball Z / Dragon Ball super 77 percent to just 23 and these were some of the most popular reasons folks gave for choosing Dragon Ball Z they felt the characters were more tightly written in z ox didn't feel disconnected or isolated like in Super and the art styles it was presented in seem to be more favorable however regardless of these reasons 77% of the folks on Twitter still considered Dragon Ball Z a cut above Dragon Ball super so before we begin this video let's see what you guys on YouTube think which is better cast your vote in the top right it's obvious that Dragon Ball super was missing something as sparked that Dragon Ball Z seem to possess and so today I want to take a look from a writer's perspective at what Dragon Ball super did write what it did very wrong and why I think Dragon Ball super Broly could mean great things for the series of once it returns later this year let's dive in [Music] what worked and what didn't to understand what didn't work in Dragon Ball super we must first understand what worked in Dragon Ball Z and most importantly why it worked and unsurprisingly with a show like Dragon Ball Z to find what worked and what didn't work is a rather simple Enterprise firstly the moments that have worked on the show have become some of the most standout nostalgia trips for the entire series for these moments I am of course talking about seems like piccolo protecting Gohan the Goku turning Super Saiyan transformation for the first time the Vegeta sacrificing himself to save his family and friends etc etc however something that's observed when looking at most of the large successful moments throughout Dragon Ball is that many of them while grand and spectacular are successful because there's an emotional component at its core with history when he was first introduced piccolo jr. was after world domination but at the climax of his arc gave up his life for his sworn enemies son it wasn't just the fact that this was a nice thing piccolo did for Gohan that made it as emotionally resonant as it was instead it was the contrast of where he had been at one point in his life many years ago it's for this very reason that the ending to the tournament of power worked in some respects the combination of Goku and Frieza fighting side-by-side was something no one could have ever seen coming given their history and it's that contrast that made it so exciting to watch it was their journey and it's that long-form storytelling that was sorely lacking in Dragon Ball super I made a video in January called son Goku the misunderstood character in which I spoke about how Goku's character is at its best when it creates change in the world and characters around them if we look at piccolo Gohan and Vegeta as examples of what character development can do for a series like Dragon Ball Z imagine if we were to replace their arcs with the arcs found in super stagnant not undergoing any sort of development or change that affects the long term just plotting along doing their thing I can assure you as a result in Z those moments wouldn't have worked go on piccolo and Vegeta all had to overcome themselves and their lies they believed and so if we strip the characters of these elements then they become significantly less interesting and the show suffers as a consequence work as a flat character alongside them as a result and the entire show loses these great moments we love to discuss character development what's worth mentioning at this juncture is that super was not devoid of developing characters and as I mentioned before it's in these moments Goku does some of his best work as a character characters like hid who developed a respect and appreciation for Goku's philosophy zu ma su who because of his warped understanding of the world around him and Goku's actions changed for the worse and finally Jared who despite being very cliche did undergo a considerable positive change towards the end of the series so super is most definitely not lacking in characters who develop but what it is lacking in and this is where it differs from Dragon Ball Z quite considerably is how long these characters are part of the story for and whether or not they influence the story in any meaningful capacity thereafter but before we get into the best part of this video and how Broly fits into all this towards the end of last year as many of you I'm sure are aware article 13 threatened the livelihoods of thousands of European creators as well as the online freedoms of millions with net neutrality acts rearing their heads in the United States relentlessly article 13 now in

it's a terrific service now back to the video one of the most cutting and accurate criticisms made against Dragon Ball super in retrospective was how disconnected and isolated it's Eric's felt from one another in super there was a visible effort made to connect the battle of God's arc to the resurrection F ark but outside of that none of the other acts tied together at all instead the series treats every individual ark after resurrection F as almost its own standalone story typically with little or no consequences lasting after the closing episode of that given Ark there seems to be an intense desire for those working at to--we or perhaps accurate Orianna to write something with the conclusion wrapped up in a bow when in reality what made Dragon Ball Z feel like a grand space opera was the very opposite it implemented the following ark structure in the beginning there is the ending of an old life the taking up of a new one and it all ends with a question this can be observed over most arcs in the original run of Dragonball when we pick up with Goku at the beginning of Dragon Ball Z he is living a modest life with his son Gohan and his wife chichi but that life as he knows it ends when Raddatz arrives and reveals that he is an alien from the planet Vegeta before stealing his son away this triggers his new life where he must defeat Raddatz and travel to King Kai's planet to prepare for Vegeta and nappa the ark concludes with a savage confrontation but also with the question how will they revive their fallen friends and will vegeta travel to Namak to find the Dragon Balls to jurymen AMEX saga Goku's life as an earth fighter ends as he begins his new life as a rebel to the forces of Frieza during which his life as he knew it ended beginning in you as the first super saiyan in over a thousand years ending on the question if Goku survived Namek why isn't he coming home how did he survive similar to the Saiyan sagas final question asked of the audience bleeding over into the Namek sagas beginning so too does the nameks ending bleed into the Android cell arc where Goku learns that time travel exists the human race is going to be destroyed and he will die to the heart virus this marks the end of Goku's current way of life and marks the beginning of a new one where he will take the measures necessary to preserve the earth a new view that allows it to see that his son is the future eventually arriving at the very end of the arc with the question will we ever see Goku again not only does this method breed intrigue around the community watching thus ensuring a larger turnout for the coming arc but it also creates a larger sense of continuity a sense that this story is going somewhere as opposed to it being its own standalone piece finished a complete arc after arc much like super has done and the interesting thing about this philosophy of story rising when put next to Dragon Ball super is that while not used in the arcs super does implement this structure in almost every episode and one that demonstrates this better than any other is episode 47 in this episode trunks his life as he knows it ends with the death of his mother Bulma this also marks the beginning of his new life as an orphan fighting to escape to the Past alone ending with the question will Trump's escape and for the audience who is that the problem I see with super Zack structure is that all of them seem to be isolated with no effort put into tying them together to create a sense that this is all one grand story rather than 5 segmented ones resurrection F ends with freezes death there are really no consequences carried over into the universe 6 tournament arc as a result everything seems very separate the last episode of that universe 6 tournament AXYZ beerus make a selfless wish on his brothers behalf representing an easing of tensions between the two which was established at the beginning of the earth everything ends neatly and has no carryover to the beginning of the Future Trunks arc there is no cliffhanger question that is asked of the audience and there is no overarching development of a particular character to tie it all together the form Super Saiyan blue did not work for this very reason it didn't seem special because there was no established story behind its conquest Goku simply shows up and has it in the movie while in the show in a very short period of time they achieve it the Super Saiyan form was something told over a much longer time span in Z and upon its unveiling made a huge moment in anime history and this is precisely why the form ultra instinct landed and worked much better than Super Saiyan blue as it was hinted at from the beginning of Dragon Ball super between goku and beerus fighting on King Kai's planet as well as weas lecturing them while training at various instances ultra instinct seems like it was destined to happen since the beginning preordained and because of that when it shows up it works super introduced loads of new characters beerus Wiese pyjamas sorbet hidden zaman sugu gerund um many others in the tournament of power and the series throughout however most of them didn't develop at all and the few that did did so while restricted to one specific arc now in the case of characters like Kaaba who did technically develop over the course of the show and it does help characters like Vegeta become more compelling he is on his own a very minor character that offers little to the story beyond being a pupil to Vegeta unlike Gohan piccolo and Vegeta who during Dragon Ball Z impacted and guided the plot at a regular intervals by being active characters within the story Kaaba is a reactive character the story happens to him but recently there has been a character that's been introduced one that is interesting has so much more to tell and one that we have yet to see develop fully and that character is [Applause] [Music] the Canon introduction of Brawley to a series like Dragonball could not have come at a better time despite being a relic of a more nostalgic era the worldwide positive reception for not only this film but also the Broly character has been nothing short of overwhelming initially painted in Dragon Ball Z as an angry one-dimensional muscle monster with Akira Toriyama sped he has become a sympathetic complicated for nuanced character full of endearing qualities to go along with a tragic backstory however bro Lee brings much more than simple tragedy he brings what I believe to be promised towards the end of the film after having been defeated Frieza remarks that he needs an ally if he is to win against Goku and Vegeta in the future it's heavily implied that this ally he has in mind will be brawling in that same breath the movie ends with the scene between Goku beginning to build a relationship with Broly these were important moments to me because it indicates future plans for a power struggle to gain broglie's trust over the comic arcs this is not only interesting and fits perfectly well within bro Lee's character who rightfully should have a host of trust issues at this point but most importantly teases something the initial run of Dragon Ball super was sorely lacking something that will enrich Goku's archetype and the flow of the show a new main character that will develop over the course of the series alongside the main cast Dragon Ball super bro Lee has provided the impending super animes return with a chance for long-term multi arc spanning character development packed with personality and intrigue a crucial element for any long-running show one that's absence caused the initial run of Dragon Ball super to feel needlessly disjointed and disconnected something was missing and oddly enough the character that once represented everything I disliked about Dragon Ball might now represent everything I think Dragon Ball needs quick or non-existent character arcs disconnected sagas and boring revisions of classic moments are the biggest sins of the initial run of super I believe and with everything said and done the missing principal the missing practice and the missing ingredient might be rediscovered through growing thanks for watching you


this video contains an ad for my Patriot supply [Music] I'm a brilliant intellectual bobble the two of us are sick and tired of dealing with troglodytes and have moved into a bomb shelter so we don't catch the stupid to stay sharp we spend all days pursuing the pastime of true intellectuals debunking YouTube videos we are the debunkers every time there's another mass shooting in America politicians have the same idea it's time to require a background check for anyone who wants to buy a gun I'm one of the Republicans who does believe there's free background checks it is an open secret that the existing background check system is broken oh I have an appetite for background checks we're gonna be doing background checks here's what they want to change right now gun buyers in the US only have to go through a background check at a gun store but they don't have to go through one if they buy a gun from an unlicensed dealer like at a gun show or a private sale we already have a confusing and dishonest statement this is going to take a second to break down but it's actually pretty sneaky here's her statements again but they don't have to go through one if they buy a gun from an unlicensed dealer like at a gun show or a private sale this is subtle but the implication is either that also as that gun shows our private sellers or that there are two different kinds of exemptions for background checks one if you buy your gun at a gun show and another for cases where you're buying from a private seller either interpretation suggests miss truth private sellers are people who are not gun dealers by trade but who want to sell one of their own guns in most states if they are selling to a fellow state resident they are not required to go through a licensed firearm dealer and have a background check performed this is true whether or not they're at a gun show licensed firearm dealers on the other hand are required to perform a background check on anyone purchasing a gun whether or not they're at a gun show I repeat all licensed firearm dealers must provide background checks it doesn't matter if they're selling at a gun show or at their own shop but with universe personal background checks everyone who buys a gun would have to go through one pretty much every American is in favor of this they say Americans are right about everything all the time pretty much every American is in favor of this indeed brilliant point but there's only one problem universal background checks won't solve America's gun crisis there's only one problem universal background checks won't solve America's gun crisis what's going on but there's something else that might to understand how background checks work it helps to imagine two very different people who both want to buy a gun the first person is dangerous maybe he has a history of domestic violence or mental illness and most importantly he has a record and the second one is not dangerous he just wants a gun for protection or to go hunting or cuz shooting guns is kind of fun oh yes the reasons the founders wrote the Second Amendment yes the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed well why on earth wouldn't we infringe upon that yes that's the first thing I would like to infringe upon you know for protection or to go hunting or because shooting guns is kind of fun before we return to our regularly scheduled debunking did you know that YouTube demonetized Ahlan last debunking youtube's advertisement crackdowns could cure lester bunkers but fortunately we've got

seeing you there now back to our regularly scheduled debunking it helps to imagine two very different people the first person is dangerous and most importantly he has a record and the second one is not dangerous before either one can buy a gun they first have to go through an FBI instant background check and I mean instant it only takes an average of a hundred and eight seconds to get a response from the FBI's database that database is made up of Records sent in by State Police and other agencies and it's checked to see if the buyer has things like a criminal record addiction a restraining order or has been hospitalized for a mental illness under a universal background check system anyone buying a gun whether in a gun store or through a private sale would have to be checked through that that means our second person walks out with a gun and our first person with a criminal record doesn't or at least he shouldn't I've done a lot of reporting on this we have just seen time and time again the background checks do not stop people who we don't want having guns from actually getting the weapons there are a couple problems with the background check system criminals aren't afraid to get their guns illegally thus avoiding all background checks one is that the FBI database is about as outdated as its logo it's missing millions of records that's why the Charleston Church shooter was able to buy a gun despite having a record or why the man who killed 26 Texan churchgoers was also able to pass a background check after the Air Force failed to send his domestic abuse convictions to the FBI so even with a background check for every type of sale there's still a chance this guy gets a gun illegally but let's make more laws to impede the ability of law-abiding citizens to obtain weapons for self-defense that's partly why study after study has found that while background checks prevent or make substantially more difficult the criminal acquisition of firearms making them universal doesn't have any effect on the actual gun crisis in America gun deaths a Johns Hopkins study of California where comprehensive background checks were implemented in 1991 found that the law was not associated with changes in firearms suicide or homicide thanks in part to those incomplete and missing records yes the study said that maybe one of the reasons among other possible explanations such as incomplete compliance and enforcement ie people just not following the law anyway the other problem with background checks is that they only look at good people and already bad people but there is an in-between the background checks are supposed to catch people who have an a record already it just misses all the people who I haven't done anything bad yet but might do something bad in the future we've already seen Minority Report Herman is not advocating for a Minority Report situation okay we've seen this video before but I promise I did come up with that punchline before she said it the first time around now you didn't he's talking about someone like this guy who's also dangerous but who doesn't have a record under a universal background check system he could get a gun in a hundred and eight seconds but there's another system that could prevent this twelve states in DC have gone one step further and established a licensing system isn't a good idea how is it different well here's how it works in Massachusetts Yale before you ever go to a gun store you first have to take a firearm safety course poor firearms training not gang violence and suicide all of those people just weren't told by weapons instructors to point downrange and keep their fingers off the trigger until they're ready to fire mass if only they'd taken firearm safety courses so they could learn that it isn't safe to rob a gas station then you have to go to the police department and submit an application give references references I've got some references for you Thomas Jefferson George Washington Benjamin Franklin James Madison and John Adams how's that for references what about Alexander Hamilton I'm aware of his work and give your fingerprints for a background check then not only is the FBI database checked but all local law enforcement agencies wherever you've lived are directly contacted along with the Department of Mental Health that entire process in Massachusetts usually takes about three weeks three weeks it's possible it might be that efficient in Massachusetts but as a former resident of Illinois I can tell you that it took me several months to receive my gun license when I applied and that's not uncommon how long did it take you to get your free speech license all your immunity from unlawful as in seizures licensed oddly enough they don't require licenses for those things oh it's almost as if they're listed very clearly in the bill of rights and most people about 97 percent pass nothing about a licensing system will prevent a law-abiding citizen from going through the process and obtaining a firearm that's dr. Cassandra Kerr Fosse she researches health policy at Johns Hopkins and she's one of the authors from the studies earlier she says the reason licensing works is that it's designed to do both of the big things background checks fail at a to properly identify and screen out people who shouldn't have guns and be create a system to reduce impulsive gun purchases the licensing system is more comprehensive than the one database background check system so our criminal will be reliably denied a gun but because it's so meticulous it also stands a chance of keeping our third guy without a record from getting a gun there are people who may want to impulsively acquire a firearm for example to harm themselves or others and the process of obtaining a license can at least delay that person during that time of crisis and on the other hand a person may need to purchase a weapon quickly in order to protect themselves from someone who's recently made them feeling safe simply receiving a threat or being made to feel uneasy isn't grounds for your own 24/7 police escort especially in impoverished in crime heavy areas so that person's only realistic option for self-defense could very well be a firearm would you force them to have to break the law and make potentially dangerous black-market deals in order to find a weapon to defend themselves with in a timely manner or you know maybe deter them from getting that firearm at all in 1995 Connecticut implemented a licensing system over the next 10 years they saw drop in gun homicides and gun suicides compare that to Missouri which once had a licensing system but got rid of it in 2007 over the next decade they had a huge spike in gun homicides and gun suicides in both states there were lots of factors involved but researchers say this shows that licensing works well I'm about to embarrass all of those researchers with 30 seconds of my time and a copy of Microsoft Paint just please don't embarrass yourself instead these graphs take place during different but overlapping periods of time if we take the two graphs here and match them up based on their dates we find that there decreases in gun violence occur up the exact same time now one might say this isn't a proper refutation as both have their periods of low gun death rates at the same time that they had these licensing programs however when we compare these trends to the national average we see just how similar the peaks and valleys are for as scientific as that demonstration was I do wish you had something other than Microsoft Paint to make this point well if you're going to be an elitist about it there is some more robust data available on this I can use to make the same case namely these graphs which track Connecticut's gun death rate adjusted for trends in the national average and show that this licensing law had no discernible effect on gun death rates it's also pretty popular among voters who live in a house with a gun more than two-thirds think that it's a good idea don't care that wrong ask all Americans and more than 3/4 support it oh wow if only we had a clip from earlier in this very video of the narrator stating that the majority of Americans supporting something doesn't mean it works pretty much every American is in favor of this there's only one problem universal background checks won't solve America's gun crisis [Music]
