## Pointers of the Podcast

Don't be too conscious about these pointers, but they are nice-to-do's for it will make a better podcast experience for the listeners.

1. **Enjoy the discussion.** Nothing excites the audience more than a panel that's also excited to talk about the topics.
2. **Try your best to not slouch on camera.** Slouching in the podcast will make you look bored. The audience will also feel bored if you do. Try to sit up straight and listen intently to the person talking.
3. **Try to not interject or talk at the same time.** Wait for your moment to interject politely to the next panelist. Listen to their points and if their points were already mentioned, try not to repeat the same unless in agreement to the point.
4. **Look at the camera when trying to emphasize a point.** This will add gravity to your delivery.
5. **Always mind about the audio-only podcast listeners.** This podcast is also distributed via iTunes and Soundcloud so making visual references that listeners will not be able to see might alienate them. In cases like this the moderator can still describe any visual cues happening on the live podcast.
6. **Always be 1 inch away from the microphone when speaking.** Adjust the microphone arm to best suit your current sitting position / posture. Tip: Always speak in the `BM-100` label side of the microphone.
7. **Speak clearly and don't mince words.** Allowing yourself speak in a calm flow will make the audience understand your point. Also, make sure the point you're trying to relay is not a repetition of what the other panelists have already expressed.
8. **Always feel free to ask questions.** If you have questions about the topics, it's better to have it asked for it may represent the curiosities of the audience. This also allows further depth into the discussion.

# 2. Star Ocean Remake Ported to Newer Systems
> Star Ocean: First Departure R is coming sometime soon to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. It’s a remake of Star Ocean: First Departure on PlayStation Portable in 2008, which itself was a remake of the first Star Ocean on Super Nintendo in 1996.
>
> Star Ocean was noteworthy for requiring special hardware in its cartridge so that the Super Nintendo, then seven years old, could handle it. The game’s visuals were so advanced there wasn’t much room left over for the game data, which needed an extra chip.
>
> Star Ocean was followed by four more games on consoles, the most recent being 2016’s Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness for the PlayStation 3 and PS4. 2009’s Star Ocean: The Last Hope was remastered for PlayStation 4 and Windows PC in 2017.

# 3. Pokemon News

## Intro
> The Pokemon Company conducted a press conference from Tokyo today, announcing a handful of upcoming products that have us looking for our pillows.
>
> Tsunekazu Ishihara, CEO of the Pokemon Company, stood behind a PokeBall-shaped podium, made a number of "business announcements" and, notably, discussed how the broadcast was in English, Japanese and Chinese -- signalling intentions to get Pokemon to a broader audience. A cavalcade of guest presenters then rolled through, offering up information on the latest products and services The Pokemon Company is offering up. It wasn't riveting, but perhaps it set us up for the huge reveal: "Pokemon Sleep."
> - A follow-up to Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is coming to Nintendo Switch. It'll resolve the cliffhanger ending of the 2018 3DS game and will wrap up differently to the movie that just came out.

# 4. (Optional) AMD Shows Off New Zen 2 CPUs, Navi GPU

## Intro
> The coremageddon has begun: AMD Monday dropped its long-awaited 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X at Computex on Monday, saying that it will outpace Intel’s 12-core CPUs for almost a third to half the price—and that’s just an inkling of AMD’s 7nm onslaught against Intel and Nvidia.
>
> "To be a technology leader, you have to make big bets," said Lisa Su, AMD's chief executive, speaking at her first Computex keynote. AMD's biggest bet was in developing its chips for 7nm, and those bets are beginning to pay off.
>
> During the kick-off keynote for Computex, AMD CEO Lisa Su unveiled:
> - “RDNA,” AMD’s new graphics architecture brand for its next-gen "Navi" core, which will be called the Radeon RX 5700 graphics card and go head-to-head with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2070.
> - An 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 3700X with stupidly good power efficiency of 65 watts.
> - An 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 3800X that all but erases any gaming deficits the CPUs have had versus the Intel competition.
The world’s first PCIe 4.0-ready PC parts
> - A dual-processor “Rome” Epyc server running laps on a dual-processor Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 server.
>
> The most anticipated news, though, was AMD's Ryzen 9 3900X CPU. Su said the 12-core Ryzen 9 will have a boost clock of 4.6GHz with a base clock of 3.8GHz. The Ryzen 9 3900X will also pack in 70MB of cache and cost just $499.

> Collectively, our top five customers accounted for approximately 68% of our net revenue during the year ended 2015. In 2015, Microsoft Corporation and Sony Corporation each accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net revenues. Sales to Microsoft and Sony consisted primarily of products from our Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom segment. Five customers accounted for approximately 53% of the net revenue attributable to our Computing and Graphics segment. In addition, five customers, including Sony and Microsoft, accounted for approximately 95% of the net revenue attributable to our Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom segment. A loss of any of these customers would have a material adverse effect on our business.
